Startled and shocked by the axe crossing her path, Nina's eyes widened in panic and disturbance in her inner turmoil as she leaped back. Even Daemon was astonished by the sudden appearance of the axe before them. Likewise, Ben felt enormous emotions, and one of them was horror.At first, they all focused on the ax, which landed far from them. They turned around together and faced the direction where the axe was supposed to come from. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped as they looked at the figure in front of them.In the dark surroundings, a contrasting figure stood apart from everything. Someone with hair dark enough to blend in at night with a compelling physique. All others swallowed their fears, except Daemon, as they noticed someone unbelievably alive.It was none other than Tejasv. Who threw that axe to rescue Daemon and Ben from yet another near-death experience? Everyone was perplexed or aghast and even petrified since a dead man was standing before them with a slight s

The next thing Tejasv knew, Nina was on him with her barrage of strikes. Although her attack was supposed to be a stealth attack, Tejasv, with his sensitive instincts, grasped her presence. After his sudden fall earlier, he was even more cautious of his enemies.He positioned his axe slantly to counter most of her attacks. She struck him hard a few times but avoided a confrontation with Daemon or Ben. She gathered most of her weight at the front and, with a slight kick at the Tejasv's axe, she leaped back into the shadows.All three of her foes, Tejasv, Daemon, and Ben, could only stare at her with wide eyes due to the athletic and smooth movements she displayed. Her technique was enhanced to such an extent that she was able to swing herself around with accuracy.Tejasv signaled others to stay on guard and not fall for Nina's provocative strikes such as this one. Just as he gestured to them, Nina appeared behind Ben and swung her knives like always, with sound and swift, precise movem

Both Daemon and Nina composed themselves into a stance. They breathed heavily and stood firmly while glaring at each other. Tejasv, on the other hand, passed a grin at Ben and struck him back repeatedly.The scene that was enacted before Ben and Nina was proof of the firm determination and belief Tejasv displayed in his companions. He had confidence and faith in his teammate and friend, Daemon, even when he had an understanding of his drained condition.Both Tejasv and Daemon grinned while facing their opponents. They snorted and glanced at each other for a short moment. Passing gestures to each other, they leaped back and gradually stood while facing their backs to each other standing against the foe.Nina and Ben, meanwhile, grunted and scowled at their enemies. Even though Ben and Nina had no expectations or intention of allying, they still stood as if Tejasv and Daemon were their common enemies.Everyone stood against each other and glared. Tejasv leaped over Ben while Daemon and

Nina fell to the ground with a loud screech since it was out of nowhere an arrow struck her leg and pierced it. She groaned and scrunched her eyes to endure the intense pain and trembled due to shivering.The echo of her scream grasped Tejasv and Daemon’s attention. In Addition, they also sighed since Daemon was out of danger from Nina. However, it wasn’t as simple as they thought for the short moments.One way or another, their heads were jumbled with numerous thoughts and speculations leading to shudders and panic. Since they had no idea where this arrow came from, their hearts were in shock and shivering.Likewise, Nina had even greater fear striking her heart in those moments. For the first time, Nina felt the threats from stealth and assassination attacks. It was obvious when she realized that arrow either let her live on purpose or the aim was diverted from her vital points.Trembling from the pain, Nina gradually grasped the arrow and with a jolt drew it out from her leg. Tears

Nina twitched when Sally released multiple arrows within short moments yet she resumed her march even more swiftly than before. She had no intentions of backing off and letting Sally have time to either escape or fight back. To drive an archer into a corner, it was better to have a close-range fight and Nina had such a technique within her sleeves. Hence she planned to close the distance between them as fast as she could to fight Sally in an advantageous position. When Sally noticed Nina still sprinting in her direction feigning ignorance about her arrow, she grinned slyly at her. Now her eyes rolled around to observe what step Tejasv and Daemon took to face the arrows. Her eyes widened at the scene since even they moved forward, not faster than Nina comparatively but still similar. She frowned and pondered why these two acted similarly to Nina when they already knew what her arrows were capable of. Even then she grinned more to learn what next step they were after. She rolled her
