The crack the blade left on the mask didn't split it cleanly down the middle, lacking that satisfying sense of symmetry.
The gash slanted slightly to the left, starting from Shadow Scorpion's lower right jaw, then slicing upward across his lips, ripping them open and exposing a row of bone-white teeth;
Continuing upward, it chopped through the bridge of his nose, the tip nearly cut off;
Finally, it scraped across his left eye—his eyeball burst instantly, the bloody scar tearing all the way up into his hairline.
The agony wrenched a shrill, inhuman scream out of Shadow Scorpion, but in the end… it still didn't kill him on the spot!
"Uaaahhh—! My face! My eye!"
Shadow Scorpion screamed himself hoarse, slipping into a half-mad state.
The exoskeleton joints detonated with sharp "crack crack" pops, the scorpion tail whipping wildly.
