Bab 931: Wakey wakey

A hush fell over the hall when the smokescreen lifted and they saw what had happened. It was so eerily quiet that one could hear a pin drop from a mile away.

The only sound that could be heard was coming from the heavy breathing of the few that were still left standing. And Arthur being the only one facing Hao Xuan was more shocked than anyone else of what he saw.

He wanted to move away but his body didn't listen to him. He was afraid, so terribly and completely horrified of what he was looking at. Leona's voice came from the back once more warning him.

"Put down your weapons!" she shouted again but no one listened.

Arthur was staring right into Hao Xuan's eyes but could see no recognition there. Only his own reflection stared back at him mouth agape and just as horrified because those eyes did not belong to a human.

This primal fear that Arthur felt when looking at Hao Xuan only made him more obstinate. How could he be so afraid? And then he realized why.
