Her father's reaction was even sharper. Elias felt a killing intent like never before, one that almost made his blood run cold. All his senses screamed at him to protect himself.
Even the strength that he had devoured from other fables began to stir restlessly. But despite that power, he didn't believe he could actually stop the man, even if he wanted to.
It was as if time itself had frozen when the man heard his name, especially his last name. Like lightning, the man's hand reached out to grab him by his throat.
Elias wanted to move back, knowing that if he were caught, his neck would be crushed. But his movements were like those of a snail compared to the man's. He could only watch the hand coming for him.
