The Antlered High Priest's expression turned wild and ferocious as he was drawn to the Brand of Evil.
Adam could see the werewolf torn between two choices: kill him in that moment or continue to torture him and later offer his blood to the sun god.
A hint of panic flickered in his tenebrous eyes.
From what he'd understood experimenting with the Brand of Evil, creatures weaker than him would feel an instinctive urge to kill him. Creatures at the same level as him retained a measure of self-control, but they still strongly preferred to act on that murderous instinct.
As for creatures stronger than him, he theorized that they would have far greater control over their urges. Adam had never been able to test that theory because he had never encountered a stronger being who was affected by the Brand.
Until now.
