[Bonus chapter]1 Down

Damian's strategy and plan turned out just like he had hoped and he was also impressed with how adept he had become in timers of combat and wielding a blade, but he didn't have time to stop and congratulate himself.

He knew that until he had gotten away or eliminated all of those that were out for his life, he couldn't stop to rest and he had to make the most of the few seconds that he had away from the other mercenaries, to eliminate the mercenary that he was facing.

The downwards slash to the mercenary's right leg was deep and quick, and not underestimating his opponent, Damian followed up with a slash to his stomach, but it was surprisingly blocked.

He was also surprised to find that the mercenary didn't show any signs of being in pain or react to the slash to his leg, and the other mercenaries also didn't show any signs of planning to intervene.
