The chamber was dimly lit, the only source of light being the eerie glow of the cryopods containing Alpha zombies. It was the perfect atmosphere for a Shadowsmith to fight, while the same couldn't be said for the Eclipse leader.
It seemed like the Leader knew it as well, and that's why regardless of talking shit before, he didn't make any moves. It could also have been because of what Shinon said moments ago... To choose a way the Eclipse Leader would like to die.
The Leader's mask hid his emotions, but Shinon's face had also turned into a mask. Unlike before, he showed no signs of aggression, nothing. He just stood there before the Leader like a mannequin. However, the silence was about to be destroyed.
In the blink of an eye, Shinon disappeared from the Leader's vision and, a moment later, appeared behind him, swinging his blade. Thankfully, the Leader managed to dodge the attack from a hair's breadth.
