The tracker stared at Cedric with fear, but then something changed in his eyes. Cedric saw resolve, though he did not understand what the tracker intended to do. In the next instant, mana burst from the tracker.
At first, Cedric thought this archer wanted to fight. But in the following moment, the archer began bleeding from his mouth and nose and collapsed on the ground. Cedric received no notification of his death but could feel that his heart had stopped.
"This man… killed himself?" Cedric muttered in confusion. "What kind of person is behind such ruthless tactics? He chose to die rather than answer my question."
Cedric realized this wouldn't be as easy as he had imagined. Feather Sword disappeared from his hand, and the corpse of the swordsman fell to the ground. He was disappointed by their lacking performance, but it was understandable, given that most of them had never fought against shadows.
