(Warning: Disturbing scene and gore ahead.)
I smiled when Lyra's warm blood splashed on my face, licking a bit of it off my lips.
Her body wriggled like a worm as her neck slowly began ripping apart under the grip of my claws until her head stuck to the stump of her neck by nothing except some of her loose skin.
Meanwhile, I turned my gaze to Delta Asher, who had a horrified expression on his face.
Without thinking, his muscles tensed and I could guess he was about to shoot me.
However, before he could do that, I lowered Lyra's body and used it as a meat shield.
She still had some life left in her but that was snuffed away as Delta Asher began shooting at me.
Most of his shots missed us but the rest hit Lyra, riddling her already bloody body with holes until Delta Asher ran out of bullets.
