The sudden death of many humans and beasts made for a perfect opening for both Ess and Fang. Most of the stronger ones that remained after the deceptive fog failed to react when Ess rushed towards them.
His radiance marked how strong of a mind he had, and Ess demonstrated the true definition of strength against the average. He stole the head of one Clean Rider who had been wholly unprepared for his sudden lunge and ripped a great chunk out of another's head with his bare hands.
His third target – a stocky Clean Rider with large buck teeth – had been prepared. He tensed and threw a straight punch at the blurring figure of Ess only to get his flying arm caught, snapped from the elbow, and fed to him as he screamed in agony. A vicious push to one end of the arm by Ess, which then blasted out the back of the man's mouth put an end to him.
