A soft and wet sound reverberated throughout the clearing as the people watched a monster eating a heart full of delight.
Its eyes were so red they reflected the blood that cascaded from his mouth to his clothes, splashing as it touched the ground.
All the people watched the feast, their eyes wide, even Azer's own crimson eyes glowed and slitted as his smile turned sinister.
They watched Lidien relive the rumor of a Heart Eater, turning it into reality.
Lidien steeled his resolve, forcing himself to stomach eating someone's heart for a second time while being watched by thousands of people without a care for his name being stained.
His Echoes of the Flesh had activated, and he flooded it with verve, pushing it to its limit.
Lidien didn't just watch; he relived the life of the beastfolk from birth until he was slapped and died in a heartbeat.
The beastfolk was the childhood friend of the Princess whom Lidien killed.
