Aerenyx did not consciously enter the fight.
If he was serious, he could annihilate the entire country and still have enough power to eradicate the rest of the world before noon.
To him, killing humans was easier than killing ants. And there was about the same amount of them annoying him.
Shaking his head, he forced his attention back to the 'fight' that was going on in front of him.
He registered the humans' trajectories, their breathing patterns, the way fear made their movements inefficient.
None of it required focus. His attention was split elsewhere, anchored to the constant awareness of Sera's body behind him, still and wrong.
He killed the first one without looking.
Disease moved through the man mid-step, cutting him down so abruptly that momentum carried the body forward for half a second before it collapsed.
But Aerenyx did not move.
