King Huvuki had never made contact with Kyran.
It never came to that point.
But he has heard about Kyran's feats as the executioner of the empire, especially the ones he did to the Dark Elf Kingdom for making the blunder of putting the empress's life in danger. Horrific feats that set him as one of the feared members of the Silverstar Pack.
And ever since, King Huvuki had always considered Kyran a cold-blooded person.
One that could mimic the fierce side of the emperor.
Naturally, seeing him mangled and in tears caught King Huvuki completely off guard.
More importantly, it also sets how fearsome their enemy is this time around.
Far more fearsome than the Rastrikan Demons.
Kyran pushed his bloodline power harder, layering thick ice over the stone wall even as his breath came in ragged gasps, and his mind swamped with dizziness. He was seeing stars. And his eyes couldn't focus anymore, keeping the world in a smeared blur.
He can barely keep his feet beneath him.
