The scar stretching from his forehead to his chin appeared all the more hideous against the backdrop of the surrounding ice and snow. Whenever he furrowed his brows, the scar would twist and writhe like a waking centipede, as if recounting the brutal battle of his past. Its uneven surface, like gullies carved by time and agony, brimmed with an endless, murderous aura.
Under the sunlight, one side of the scar fell into deep shadow, a dark abyss radiating a chilling presence. The other side was outlined by the light into a sharp edge, resembling a gleaming blade ready to tear through everything in its path. As he turned his head, the interplay of light and shadow made the scar seem to possess a life of its own, wandering wantonly across his face; with the slightest twitch of his facial muscles, it shifted into ever-more ferocious expressions. At times, it resembled a man-eating tiger, the lines on his forehead deepening as he frowned, the scar twisting to make the "King" character on a tiger's brow appear even more savage, its fierce, wide-eyed gaze fully displayed as if it were about to pounce and tear its prey to shreds. At other times, it was like an enraged python, the section from the corner of his eye to his mouth bulging high like the coiled body of a serpent, the trembling lines mirroring the agility and danger of a snake flicking its tongue, exuding a bone-chilling aura as if it might open a blood-red maw to swallow anything that dared approach. At other times, it was like a starving wolf, the scar on his chin tightening as he gritted his teeth, creating a sense of downward-pulling tension that mimicked a wolf baring its fangs for a lethal strike, the sheer brutality of it seemingly freezing the very air around him. Combined with his cold, profound gaze, it created an intimidating presence that struck terror into the hearts of others.
His eyes were like a bottomless, frigid pool, cold and devoid of ripples, as if all emotion in the world had been frozen within them, leaving only endless indifference and detachment. That gaze was like a biting winter wind; a single sweep was enough to make one feel as though they were standing in a frozen wasteland, with a bone-deep chill rising from the depths of their soul. When this cold, profound gaze met the hideous scar on his face, it was like the convergence of winter and a blizzard, its deterrent power increasing exponentially. His eyes seemed to pierce through the vicissitudes of the past contained within the scar, as if drawing a deeper, colder strength from the cruel experiences it represented. Whenever he stared at someone, the chill in his eyes would spread along the scar, as if to envelop the other person entirely in that frigid atmosphere. The existence of the scar gave his gaze a tangible vessel; the ferocity was no longer just an intangible feeling, but was transmitted more intuitively through the twisting and heaving of the scar.
In the moment of a standoff, he needed only to narrow his eyes slightly, and the cold light within them would shoot out from the crevices of the scar like ice blades, precisely piercing the heart of his opponent. At such times, the scar acted like an evil mark activated by his icy gaze, constantly shifting into more ferocious postures as his expression changed—sometimes like a glaring demon with murderous intent in its eyes, other times like a bird of prey poised for battle, its gaze full of vigilance and aggression. The moment one met his eyes, it was as if they were facing a primordial beast that had walked out of a dark abyss, leaving no room for any thought other than fear and the desperate desire to flee from that terrifying stare capable of freezing the soul.
This scar further amplified his deterrent power. His gaze was like that of a lone wolf in the cold night, indifferent and sharp, as if it could see through a person's soul. The scar was like the marks of fangs on a wolf's muzzle, allowing one to intuitively sense his danger and cruelty. When he stared at someone, the chill in his eyes and the ferocity brought by the scar merged, pressing down with a tangible force that made the observer tremble with fear, as if they were standing in the territory of a fierce beast, ready to be torn to pieces at any moment.
In battle or tense situations, this scar became an amplifier of his ferocious nature. As the energy within him surged and his blood flow quickened, the scar would flush a strange, purplish-red, like a raging fire tearing across his face. His expression twisted with the passion of combat, and the scar writhed violently along with it, as if cheering for his rage. At such moments, his entire image was that of a demon crawled up from the depths of hell, his ferocious aura enough to make surrounding enemies tremble with fear and their morale plummet.
