The remaining guards caught a glimpse of their comrade's gruesome demise and were gripped by an even greater terror. Their fear fueled their legs, and they ran even faster.
Aelred's lips curled into a faint smile, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared behind one of the fleeing guards. His skeletal hand clamped around the guard's neck, lifting him effortlessly off the ground.
The guard's face turned bright red as his legs flailed in the air, desperately trying to pry Aelred's hands from his throat.
Aelred's smile turned twisted and cruel. His blood-red eyes gleamed with even more intensity and savagery.
Crack!
The sickening sound of bones breaking echoed through the silence, and Aelred's smile grew wider.
Thud.
The lifeless body of the guard was tossed aside like garbage.
The last remaining guard turned pale, his legs trembling as he stumbled backward in terror. "Please don't kill me! I beg you, I'll do anything! I'll serve you!" he cried, trying to crawl away from the fast-approaching Aelred.
Shk!
Aelred's hand pierced through the guard's chest. The man's terrified eyes dulled as his life slipped away. Aelred withdrew his blood-stained hand, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes.
Rocco and Anton, who had silently followed behind, stood without a word, watching the scene unfold.
"Rocco, remember this," Aelred said softly, his glowing red eyes casting a sideways glance at Rocco. "When I tell you to step back and stay away, you must listen."
Rocco nodded obediently. "I'll remember, Master."
