Tak!
The moment Cyrus' arrow pierced the bird flying high in the sky, the creature instantly stopped flapping its wings and fell straight to the ground at a frightening speed.
The three of them quickly ran toward it and found the bird twitching violently on the ground.
"What happened? It's not dead yet," Calen said in confusion.
Cyrus calmly looked down at the suffering bird. "That poison isn't only meant to kill," he explained. "It's also meant to torture the target first."
He paused for a moment, his eyes still fixed on the bird. "They'll feel like their entire body is burning from the inside," he continued. "But no matter what they do, they won't be able to stop the pain until they finally die. At least… that's what Azul said."
Calen stared at him in disbelief. He clearly hadn't expected the poison to be that terrifying. All this time, he had assumed Azul was only making the usual poison.
"Cyrus," Calen suddenly called out.
"Yes?"
