"Ah. You there! I know hiding around. Hehehe!"
The lunatic laughed as he slowly turned towards the assassin. Then, he gently pointed his index finger on the man's forehead.
Bzzt!
Lightning flashed, momentarily brightening up the surroundings.
The assassin's body stood firm, not moving the slightest inch from the attack, but his head fell limp.
He was dead.
Then, the black hands that covered his body retracted towards the ground. Only then did the man's lifeless body fell.
Lucian's hands trembled having witnessed the death of his subordinate. But he had no time to mourn. The person in front of him was stronger than he expected. He balled his hands into fists as determination filled every corner of his soul.
He wanted to save his energy so that he would be able to fight even after this battle, but it seems like that was impossible.
Lucian raised a hand then waved it once.
In the shadows, seven people scurried away.
