The remaining eight members of Squad Thousand were not looking good, but wait… wasn't there someone missing?
On either side of Draco, Lia, the red-eyed rabbit girl, and Mirakil, the blue-haired half-orc rogue, appeared, stabbing into him with their weapons. Lia used a pristine Divine rank dagger while Mirakil used dual short swords like Eva did back in the day.
This insidious attack was sudden and unpredictable, coming from angles that were hard to block and covering all of Draco's possible escape routes. In fact, looking at it, Lia and Mirakil only appeared when their weapons were on the cusp of piercing Draco's flesh, so his only response could be to defend himself somehow.
It's over!
So both parties and almost all onlookers thought in that split second, until Draco simply smiled and reached out a hand.
TING!!!
