Theron landed softly on the ground as Jun's head rolled to a slow stop. The latter's eyes were opened wide. Until the blade cut into his flesh, he hadn't even noticed that there was any danger at all.
The fact he could open his eyes, though, showed that Theron was still far too weak. It meant that Jun had had the time to sense the pain in his neck and open his eyes in an attempt to react. He had still been too slow in the end, but the fact he died with his eyes open even though he had been in meditation when Theron arrived said everything that needed to be said.
His reaction time was much faster than the swing of Theron's blade. Had Theron made even the slightest mistake, he would have woken up.
This didn't sound like a big deal since Theron had already defeated Jun once before, but it was.
There was someone else who was well aware that Theron had defeated Jun before, and that was none other than the latter's Demon Prince father. Yet Demon Prince DiBarr had still sent Jun here.
