The man underneath trembled with enraged tears spilling out of his eyes. He looked miserable and pathetic at the same time. But above all, there was darkness emerging from the depths of his frightened eyes.
Azuma looked back with an unreadable expression.
Both of them knew what was coming soon.
"I can offer you a quick death."
Azuma quietly stated.
However, his words fell on deaf ears. The man jerked without a warning, and out of blue, he slashed a knife through the air.
Time slowed for a moment, as Azuma easily dodged it by moving back, yet keeping his hands on the man's arms to shove him down once again.
A low smile tugged upon his lips.
He had his doubts, but Azuma was not sure if this man was indeed the one who had been trying to kill the sleeping people.
Fear could make men do crazy things.
