An aura spread out, coming from Citro's tiny body. However, the aura was anything but tiny. It was like they were standing next to a sleeping dragon that could wake up and attack them at any time.
Even the man who had been running his mouth for the past hour could only shut up in that presence.
Emery was still in awe of it after the first time. The air felt heavier and harder to breathe in, and he felt like he would lose consciousness just from that alone. However, he could tell that the presence wasn't directed towards them. Otherwise, it would have been much stronger.
The beast felt the full brunt of the aura, though.
SCRREEEEECCH~!
Its strange, bird-like screech emerged and a small thud appeared a few metres away.
Emery used Wind Shadow Steps and appeared in front to end the beast's life once and for all.
His knife fell, lopping the creature's head away from its body before it could do anything more.
[Ding!]
