Right before the blade would severe the neck of the fourth man, Timothy stopped. The heads of the others rolled off the same second they crashed to the ground.
Everyone on Timothy's team watched dumbfounded. As for Leon, he was more concerned what the skill he used to hide behind the guys was. Maybe he could get a close read of it with Instinctive Read?
No - that, when he levels the skill up. Now thinking about it, he had stayed in the first level for too long...
... Timothy put his sword closer to the last guy's neck. He asked softly, with a tone of authority, "Name it... who was the one who sent you?"
The man was calm, not trembling or showing any sign of fear. Even though the others died in an instant and they had no time to fight back, something about them felt surreal. Axel thought about it, even Jane and Ann, but it was hard putting their finger on it.
The man swiftly looked Timothy in the eyes. "Did you follow us? I have never heard of such a skill before..."
