It was a simple slash to Anansi's head, but with the acceleration combined with its evasion technique, and at such a close distance, the monkey man did not register it on time, and his sword pierced through the skull.
Crack!
But what Severin expected did not happen. Anansi did not drop his hand. In fact, his grip only tightened into a painful hold as it seemed his bones would break.
Severin stared up at where his sword pierced through. It was the first time he would be seeing someone get stabbed in the head and yet they still remained unaffected.
And.
Anansi's head was not dripping blood. It was dripping with darkness.
They spoke as one, their voices overlapping. "I told you, Anansi is already dead. Filled only with my darkness. This is part of the power I took from Dolor. There is nowhere for you to run to now. I will eat you, and I will not be quick about it. I will make you feel every pain!"
