The scarred hunter took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. If he showed any weakness now, it would be over quick. His grip tightened on his sword, his hands shaking slightly.
He looked straight at Reign, refusing to back down.
"Stay together" he commanded.
The remaining hunters nodded, their resolve hardening. Each of them knew that surviving this encounter was impossible, but dying without fighting back wasn't an option either.
They fanned out, forming a loose circle around Reign, weapons drawn and ready.
Reign chuckled, a low, mocking sound that echoed through the street.
"What's the plan? Surround me ? Really? " He shook his head, his tone dripping with amusement. "Adorable."
"But that would be too boring. How about this—if you all run away, scatter, and hide, you might actually have a better chance," he suggested with a twisted grin.
