It's body torned apart instantly.

”Aeron!!” I hollered as I tossed the scythe to him at the same time he leaps off from the ground and from the fiend in front of him and the scythe spun in midair, gravitating towards him.

He graps it in que with both hands and swings the scythe pass his shoulder behind him
