Damian turned around and ran.

"Ian!"

But before he could follow him, the enemy rushed toward Alexander.

The boy deflected the sword away and sent a diagonal slash to his throat. Blood spurted out and he fell to the ground. Sensing a presence behind him, Alexander spun and made a thrust.

"Urg!"

His sword penetrated the man's heart and he died while standing.

A black figure landed behind Alexander and walked leisurely to the corpse he had just killed. He pulled out the dagger and red liquid was seen dripping from it. Fedel turned to the boy whilst swinging his knife to get rid of the blood.

"Mind telling me, how did he manage to descend the mountain?"

"You should have seen my face the moment I saw him."
