Then they moved.
The woman blurred forward, her twin daggers flashing. Kael's Eclipse Step kicked in—shadows cloaked him, dodging her first strike. Steel screeched as he parried the second, but her third blade nicked his thigh, blood welling.
Kael grunted, sweeping low. She flipped over his dagger, landing like a specter. The sickle-wielder swung, chain whipping through the mist. Kael ducked, the blade grazing his cloak.
The sentinel roared, stomping forward. Its steps cratered the ground, dust billowing. "Scatter!" the sickle-wielder shouted. The assassins split, weaving through the mist.
Kael didn't scatter. He charged the sickle-wielder, Abyssal Fang gleaming. The man's eyes widened, the chain snapping back. Kael slid under, closing the gap.
Slash! Slash!
Blood sprayed, the dagger biting flesh.
