Ethan's eyes snapped open, glowing with a cold, murderous amethyst light. The air around him distorted as he took in the carnage. Nearby, Jason and six elite Falcon soldiers were desperately engaging the Scavenger Leader. They struck him with everything they had, but unlike their battle with the Ancestor, this was different. The Scavenger's skeletal transformation made his body as hard as cold steel; their blows barely left a mark.
The Scavenger Leader roared, his skeletal hand blurring through the air. It pierced Jason's abdomen with the ease of a hot knife through butter. Jason coughed up a violent spray of blood as the monster's clawed fingers hooked into his liver, ripping it out.
The Scavenger chewed the organ raw, blood dripping down his chin as he mocked him. "Where is your leader now? You're nothing but meat to him! He doesn't even defend you...!!! Hahaha! Next, I'm taking your heart! I want you to look death in the eye and beg for mercy...!!!"
