Gus had his whole body trembling in fear, Ares was nothing like how he was until now. To Gus, Ares seemed like a cold-blooded killer with a different type of personality. It was as if there were two individuals living inside the body of Ares.
*"Is this how Ares carried the soldiers and still be able to stand in a stable state even after being hurt badly and even after he was unconscious?"* Gus starts to imagine the monster strength of Ares.
Ares distanced himself from Gus by jumping 7 feet backwards, he even took his waster sword from Gus and clenched it near his waist, as if he sheathed it into his imaginary scabbard. He stood tall with his right foot stretched forward and left foot, fixed behind him. There isn't much gap between his feet nor is there any form of stance in the way he stands holding the sword.
Ares seemed like still water, without showing any movement and just waiting for Gus to come at him again.
