A sound of people cheering for his name, something he had only experienced in his past life when a politician ran for presidency, erupted, making Lidien smile from ear to ear.
Lidien stared at the beastfolk kneeling on the ground with chains fitted tightly on their necks.
All of their eyes were dead. Some of them had their ears sliced clean off, their tails twisted; some were still bleeding while others were without life.
But there was one thing they had in common...
The tips of their fingers were gone, cut off at the end and not their claws. Even their fangs had been removed, leaving flat teeth, as if they were forced to become human.
The real human.
As Lidien realized that here... in the Savage Expanse, it was not that Manners maketh Man, but that Man Maketh Beast.
Lidien's smile turned sinister as he activated his Blood Form, turning his eyes crimson and his hair long and white, showing his fangs and claws to the people in front of him.
