The God Beast's transformation sent chills through Raiden and the others, and the assassin, even while fighting Leo and Speed, couldn't stop laughing—intrigued by the sheer danger everyone was in.
However, he wasn't the only one laughing. Raiden was too. With euphoria filling every inch of his body and his skin twitching, he couldn't help but want to see the beast's blood spilled.
And obviously, everyone around him noticed that too. "No…" Freya said, gesturing for Raiden to stop, but she was too late.
His body moved on its own volition as he swung his sword toward the beast's neck. Though the creature's head wasn't fully regenerated yet, it somehow saw the attack coming, caught the blade with its bare hand, and shattered it into pieces.
Raiden's expression darkened in an instant, and he flipped backward, creating a gap between him and the beast. His heart began pounding as the adrenaline rush completely washed away.
