The sudden and overwhelmingly destructive attack had everyone, including the Free Bird Mercenaries, stunned. One arrow. Four mangled corpses.
What.
"Is—is that an opening?" Damas asked, breaking the silence and inadvertently urging things into motion again.
"Yes, it fucking is!" Dima shouted and dove forward.
'Twin Demon Sword Style.'
Dima's slightly curved swords turned into flashes of light in the light of lanterns and stars breaking through the darkness of night. He knocked aside the weapons of his enemies with one sword before taking off arms and heads with the other.
He killed three people before the thugs reacted and thought to counterattack. He killed two more before they finally managed to stop him. The other thugs rushed forward to catch up to Damas, who had picked up Squawks and Tair and started running.
Mole took down the last two on that side before he and Dima held up the rear to secure Lily's and Damas' retreat.
