The trees parted as the dark figure raced through the forest, a blur of motion against the shadowy background.
The Mana Knights stood locked in formation, their weapons ready, a wall of steel against the enemy that obviously didn't run away.
However, their enemy was no ordinary foe - he was a master of the shadows, an assassin as his very presence was pretty sharp, a small blade that would cut your spine as long as they opened a gap.
"I'll kill you all!" he growled, the flames of his blood burning technique licking at his veins.
If he didn't break their formation soon, the technique would drain his strength completely, making his attacks useless against these elite knights.
In a burst of unnatural speed, he struck, his shadowy form colliding with the knights' defenses.
Pang!
