As he stood there looking at the body of the awakened, he looked up at the rest, "Do any of you genuinely believe that you stand a chance against me, Shadow?" he asked the question, not expecting some sort of answer, but because he wanted them to understand that what they were doing was utterly pointless and would simply lead to their deaths.
Sadly, that point seemed to not get across to some, as two guys charged again, but before they could get close, tendrils shot out, latched onto them, and swung their bodies down so hard that they turned into a paste of blood, and Aren's face showed no emotion whatsoever.
After this, the rest were shaky and not wanting to attack, but that was when Aren felt a presence approaching, and unlike the other awakened, these ones felt pretty strong.
