With his hand tensed, veins bulging along the back of his palm, nails sprouted, Kaeliyus sliced through the girl's neck in a swift motion, severing her head.
The severed head flew through the air, blood splattering across the villagers and the girl's companion. Her lifeless body crumpled to the ground with a dull thud, blood pooling from her stump, while her head tumbled across the hard ground, leaving a trail of crimson in its path.
The villagers and the girl's companion stood frozen, paralyzed in stunned silence. Fear gripped their faces, their bodies numb with dismay.
The boy's eyes trembled frantically within their socket, wide with glistening terror. The splattered blood on his face, trailed a crimson path across his features, dripping to the ground when it slid to his chin.
The villagers who had experienced such brutality and understood how savage Seiya and Kaeliyus could be, recoiled quietly, daring not to offer a word that might shift the attention towards them.
