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’s eyes widened as she witnessed Daemon walking towards Ben with his teeth shining in a bloodied face with a taunting smirk. She realized he took those hits out of his own violation, or more likely to say, he fought that way at Tejasv's command to keep her engaged.That was a masterstroke that struck fear in Nina's heart. She realized how Dameon and Tejasv played with her by providing pleasure for a while and snatching it the next second. However, she still had no idea what strategies they had ahead.She kept her gaze fixed on Daemon and suddenly turned around. Her eyes expanded when she saw Tejasv heading towards her with swift movements while clenching his ax, and a sly grin crept on his face.Nina didn't have enough time to even think or glance around at this moment. A worthy and terrific foe was marching towards her with his weapon and bloody intentions, while another one whom she thought to be smashed around was nowhere to be seen.Now that she had no time to spare, Nina glar
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
After observing Sally and Nina, Tejasv pondered something, and wearing a friendly soft smile, he said, “Sally, thanks to you Daemon is currently alive. If not for you we may have lost one of our best warriors on the team!”He approached her with as friendly and concerned words as one may say to someone close. With his sharp mindset, Tejasv blurted such words to confirm Sally's approach towards them since he remembered her hatred for him.Whether she forgot the previous resentment from the first sight of Nina or still the hate lingers around her heart, he had to confirm them before he put his belief in her and focus on Nina completely while showing his back to Sally.“I saved Daemon? Hehehe” Sally chortled after responding to Tejasv in a hysterical taunt. This statement alarmed Tejasv and he frowned with a slight twitch. He squinted his eyes and glanced at the Daemon to signal him to be on the defensive without advertising his anxiety externally.Sally resumed after ceasing her laughte
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
When Nina leaped into the shadows, Sally's head turned blank since she had never seen anything even close to this phenomenon. In the next instance, she realized this must be Nina's skill, but she still had no details or inkling about this ability.Whether Nina dashed away in the dark using her skills or just blended half into the surroundings, it was challenging to point to any one of them. Yet if there was something precise, it could be the bloodlust lingering in the atmosphere.She swallowed in panic and chilled sweat trickled down her spine. In the jittery atmosphere, she rolled her eyes and swiveled around to scrutinize the area for Nina. Unfortunately, her search failed since Nina was nowhere to be seen from her sight.While Sally sweated profusely and looked all over, she still held the arrow stretched on the bow, ready to release at even a slight glimpse of her prey. However, all she could spot was Tejasv and his partner, Daemon.When she focused her eyes on Tejasv, her brow tw
Nina took a turn in pain and found nothing behind her. It was perplexing and terrorizing to see an empty field when she knew something had struck her out of nowhere on her back and the pain was still increasing with each passing second.Enduring the anguish, she stretched her arm to touch and feel what was there on her back, enhancing the pain and shedding even more blood. When she grabbed something pierced into her back, her eyes widened from shock.She swallowed and took a deep breath while clenching that thing with all her might. She applied force and plucked out that stick-like object with great force. She felt an alarming pain and let out a cry with a jolt.When her gaze fell on the object, all the pain and grief numbed with wit and she trembled into terror and fear. It was an arrow similar to the ones stacked in Sally's quiver. Nina frowned in shock, brooding when and how a dead girl aimed for her.Due to this strange phenomenon, she forgot to notice the dripping blood gradually
Tejasv and Daemon resumed their march towards Nina while the girl, on the other hand, somehow stood up again even when the pain was striking like swords into her body. Her eyes were filled with bloodlust and leaked pressurizing killing intent.Tejasv and Daemon also noticed her intent but didn't stop since her death was necessary and this may be the last time they have the upper hand in this battle. They returned their gaze to Nina, searching for any last retaliation she could muster.They were close to Nina and raised their weapons to swung them into smashing Nina. Meanwhile, as they expected, Nina retaliated with the help of her remaining knife in her grasp. She leaped over them and jabbed continuosly.However, her attempt failed by the number advantage of Tejasv and Daemon, since they planned the fight beforehand while sprinting towards her. They had a grasp of her situation and the means to attack and counter her.When Tejasv goes offensive, Daemon defends both of them while Tejas
