The entire crowd of humans froze, their eyes widening in shock. One moment Alvin was pressing Stella and the others, and in the next Grey swung by and split his head in two.
No, it was far worse than that.
Alvin's head melted down, splitting down his shoulders in a molten ooze that left the ground catching on fire before he even hit it. Severe burns slapped against the faces of his companions, and one of them had her hair catch on fire.
She screamed, rolling along the ground in a vain attempt to stamp it out. But it felt like the flames roaring on her were jumping from place to place, a chain reaction of blasts scorching her hair, and then her face until she was nothing but a rolling head of ash.
Shudders ran down all of their spines, their bodies freezing beside themselves. Even the eyes of Mauve and the others flashed with horror. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
