A Gruesome sight

Blood and brain matter splattered. Chunks of flesh dropped with a thud. Bloodstains even reached my clothes, despite I was quite far away.

The head of a person who had been talking and thinking just like me until a moment ago - even if he seemed to have lost his mind a bit - exploded in the blink of an eye, leaving only fragments of his skull.

It wasn’t my first time seeing someone die. But I don’t think I have ever witnessed such a graphic and gruesome sight.

Nausea rose at the sight of the shattered head tilting and pouring out fresh blood and fragments of brain. Dark Dragon, who had approached at some point, helped me calm down, telling me to take a slow, deep breath.

He was in a terrible state as well. Naturally.

At least I was a bit of a distance away, but wasn’t Dark Dragon in close contact with the crazy scientist, holding him by the scruff of his neck?

He didn’t just witness it like I did; the head of the person right next to him exploded, and he was covered in all the debris. Slime and blood, bone and flesh dripped stickily down his Dragon Suit.

It was a situation that would shock anyone, but he remained calm without much change, as if he had experienced something like this before.

No, perhaps the fact that his usual playful demeanor had disappeared and he was showing such a subdued side meant he had changed from before.

I couldn’t see his expression because of the Dragon Helmet, so I had no idea what he was thinking...
