Surprised? Didn't See That Coming?

The Eye Beast had only one eye left.

That lone eye

was wider than a lantern.

If its eyelid hadn't held it in, Ren suspected the eyeball would have fallen right out.

He looked at the shock filling the monster's eye.

Ren felt nothing at all.

Scenes like this

"I'm immortal!"

"Even if I do die,"

"I'm taking you with me!"
