He scanned his surroundings in the direction of the whooshing sound, trying to pinpoint where the assassin was hiding.
Then he moved. However, just as he shifted, a sharp bullet tore into his arm.
It had been aimed at his heart, but Aleron's sudden movement had altered the trajectory.
A wave of dizziness swept through him. The bullet was coated in poison, just like before.
In that instant, something deep within his body stirred.
His terrifying devour ability surged to life, and the dizziness vanished as quickly as it came.
The poison was absorbed?
Aleron's eyes flickered with surprise, but after a moment's thought, he found it plausible.
His pace did not slow for even a heartbeat. With renewed determination, he rushed toward the young man standing not too far away.
Through the scope of his sniper rifle, the man from the Genesis Coil watched Aleron's rapid approach.
His eyes widened in shock. "He's unaffected by my tranquilizer? What is going on?"
