1044 The Fall of Falcon Scott (62)

'Die, die, die…'

Sunny kept trying to strangle the Scavenger in a strange reversal of their previous encounter. His face was contorted into a bestial snarl, and his eyes were burning with indescribable bloodlust.

The Scavenger, however, was not easily killed. At first, he seemed to have panicked and tried to throw Sunny off himself, but after realizing that getting rid of the small human was all but impossible, the abomination calmed down, stared at him with seething hatred, and tried to stab him in the back with the black tusk.

The tip of the crude saber bit into the silk of the Graceless Dusk, and failed to pierce it.

Sunny laughed with savage joy.

"Try harder, bastard!"

The Scavenger obliged.

Dropping the tusk, he grabbed Sunny by the collar… and, instead of trying to push him away, instead pulled him down. The two of them were suddenly face-to-face.

'Crap…'

The jagged line splitting the abomination's helmet opened, and countless sharp fangs instantly sank into Sunny's cheek.

"Aaaaaargh!"

Realizing that he was moments from having his face bitten off, Sunny let go of the fiend's neck and delivered a vicious punch into his solar plexus. Then, he grabbed the creature's jaws, pushed them open by a few millimeters, and staggered back.

The Scavenger once again let out a hoarse, hateful laugh, his teeth painted by Sunny's blood.
