In that dark and eerie atmosphere, only two voices could be heard. One was a womanly chortle in a frenzy, while the other was a groan in pain and stress. Daemon and Nina were the ones who created such an echo in the atmosphere.Daemon struggled his way to halt Nina's knife from piercing his chest and gritted his teeth while groaning. Fred's blood dripped from Nina's body onto Daemon and some even seeped into his mouth.Nina cackled as she witnessed the sorrowful and pitiful state of Daemon. She giggled even more and said while grinding her teeth as she applied more force to her knife, "What happened? Huh! You’re supposed to be strong, right? Then why are you lying down, and what is the purpose of your endeavor? Just accept your death and go to the other world where your friend is waiting for you!"Subsequently, Nina put even more force into the knife and roared in ecstasy as the Daemon below her cried in the struggle. He put all his power and energy into pushing her back from his top.
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
Tejasv grasped the remaining axe firmly and glared at Nina. He leaped with a swift motion and swung it hard at her, without hesitation or fear. He had a sheer focus on his target and even planned the method of destroying his foes.Nina, too, dived and thrust her knives repeatedly at Tejasv. They clashed at once and countered each other's attacks while striking again. As a result of their collision, multiple sparks and sounds echoed all over the place.They gritted their teeth and applied even more pressure to their muscles. It was astounding for Tejasv to witness a girl clashing with him on equal terms. He smirked with the fighting spirit rising within him. However, Nina leaked intense bloodlust from her rage conversely to him.After a few more attacks, both concluded the outcome would not come just from head-on strikes. Hence, Nina snorted with a scowl and dived into the shadows while invoking her skill. She gave an ominous grin to Tejasv before disappearing from the naked sight.A t
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
Nina flinched as she noticed Ben coming to attack while raising his maul. She braced herself to defend and counter him, even pushing Tejasv back with some strength along the way. She focused her gaze on Ben, who was diving forwards behind Tejasv.With her gaze brooding, she noticed an intense glare leaked by Ben being pierced at his target. However the baffling fact she found unbelievable was her not being the target he was after. He swung his maul with all the strength he could muster and intense hatred.Nina smirked as she engaged with Tejasv, forcing even more tenacity and power before he could compose himself and counter her. Tejasv flinched when he felt a sudden emergence of attacks from her. He did not even have a single second to spare to ponder her thoughts.Tejasv swung his axe to defend himself while grunting and gritting his teeth. Aside from these three, Daemon grumbled in pain while balancing himself from the kick he faced from Nina. He squinted his eyes from the discomfo
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.
