He heard the noise and fuss with her and her horse but he was keeping his eyes forward. He needed to watch this beast. as he made sure his front stayed facing the creature as it moved. He frowned a bit hearing her move up behind him a little and hearing her speak. "mind your own and I said stay back" He spat at her suddenly.
The beast growled and went to make a lunge forward but he moved and held the weapon in front of him his eyes were a bright green in the moon light as he faced the wear beast "this is dark magic at work... this creature is not of old.. it's soul is tormented to keep this shape." He seemed to be speaking but he wasn't directing his words to anyone as he took a few steps forward towards the creature.
"forgive me but your true form is lost... this is the only way you can rest." He seemed to bow his head a moment staying there as he held his weapon, why was he saying sorry to such a beast a creature with nothing but blood lust. this human who had no direction in life yet seemed to know some of the old ways.
The beast lashed out again though Abel was ready for it this time as he stepped again and trusted his weapon forward as the spear tip on his pole axe buried it's self deep into the beast's chest. In the same motion he quickly slammed it to the ground pulling his weapon free before spinning the weapon once to his side and slamming it's full force down upon the grounded creature's neck.
After ensuring it was a clean cut through he drew the blade back away from the creatures corpse. Letting out a heavy breath he brought the weapon to his side before bringing both of his hands together and doing a sort of prayer from the looks of it.
Mere moments later he turned and looked at Olivia with the same soulless expression he had from before when she first encountered him. "we'll rest for now, I'm sure your horse will turn up down the road" He hardly seemed worried then again there seemed to be more to him then meets the eye anyway.
He walked past her and returned to his seat next to his horse without saying another word. He didn't feel like explaining why such a simple weapon killed a beast of dark magic, ones said to be immortal. Though he was sure she was going to question him anyway even if he didn't want to answer.
