"Aaaaargh—"
It was a scream filled one hundred percent with pure terror, without a single trace of any other emotion mixed in.
And it was precisely this kind of pure, primal scream that ignited the most primitive fear in the hearts of the other Believers who were the victim's companions.
The moment the scream rang out, the pedestrians on the street outside the alley all jumped in fright and bolted without even daring to look toward the source of the sound; none of them dared to investigate what was happening in that dark corner spewing fire.
The guards who heard the commotion had at first taken a few steps forward, wanting to intervene, but as the sound clearly entered their ears, their forward steps instantly turned into retreat, their eyes darting around guiltily.
Even the guards showed such cowardice; there was no point expecting any kind of heroic display from the people inside the alley.
"Th-this, this this this..."
