The forest seemed to hold its breath as the ten men charged at Ethan, their faces set in grim determination. Ethan's eyes flickered with a mix of annoyance and resolve. He shifted into a fighting stance, ready to defend himself.
The first attacker lunged at Ethan, but he effortlessly sidestepped and delivered a swift kick to the man's midsection, sending him sprawling to the ground. Another came from the side, swinging a knife, but Ethan caught his wrist and twisted, forcing the attacker to drop the weapon with a pained cry.
One by one, the attackers fell, unable to match Ethan's speed and skill. Leonardo watched in horror as his men were systematically taken down, his fear growing with each passing second. He knew he was no match for Ethan alone, but he couldn't back down now.
