Arthur snapped his back toward the calamity hovering over the city. He raised his arms, and rubbles gathered from the lake around them, rising in the air to surround Cassius like soldiers.
The people around him looked at the calamity with confusion as murmurs spread among the crowd. Even a non-awakener could tell that Cassius was no human but more of a humanoid monster that resembled a shell of a former human.
Ba-dum!
His heart thumped in his chest as Arthur realized that a fight here would kill these people who tried to save him. The children hid behind their mothers, and the brave men stepped forward to protect the elderly.
Fear seeped into the hearts, minds, buildings, and air. It was the natural reaction of meeting a higher being and a threat to their lives. Cassius stared at Arthur with his starry eyes before turning toward the citizens, and his face morphed into rage.
