"I spy with my little eye someone who's going to die." The assassin laughed merrily as he exploited Lith's shock to push away the Gatekeeper and struck at his neck to finish him off.
The first dagger had pierced Lith's chest, but thanks to his reflexes, which had allowed him to stop at the last second, and to the Skinwalker Armor, it didn't go deep. Lith knew that a normal weapon couldn't cut his skin, let alone his armor.
Which meant that they were anything but normal.
'No one can move that fast. How did he predict my exit point?' Lith thought.
His mind spun at top gear as he used the dagger in his left hand to defend himself while he stepped back. The blade in his chest only needed one more push to pierce his heart and Lith had no desire to test if he still needed it to survive.
