In the blink of an eye, blood splashed and wails of pain merged into one.
The densely packed masked assassins fell like wheat beneath the farmer's scythe, while those who had dodged the volley viciously charged again with knives in hand.

Blood still stained the corners of his mouth, and his steps were uneven as he walked.
