Vayne simply attacked again, movements stiff but relentless.
Another attacker spat on the ground and looked at Aiden with open disgust.
"You need to die, demonic."
His qi flared faintly around his fists.
"Someone like you is a threat to humanity."
For a brief moment.
Silence.
Then Aiden laughed.
It started low.
Then it grew louder.
A sharp, almost manic sound that echoed against the broken walls of the hall.
The attackers stiffened slightly at the sound.
Aiden lowered his head, shoulders shaking faintly.
"Demonic?" he repeated between laughs.
He raised his head slowly, eyes gleaming in the dim light.
"That's right, with the power I'm wielding right now…" he said softly, almost amused, "I'm a threat to more than just humanity."
His mana surged.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand.
Twelve shadows formed around him.
