The Invisible Attack

Kiyo sprinted to the storage room and saw a snake lurking around the floor.

"This is, Lavisen Snake! It has a venomous poison that could weaken and then kill its prey. So this is the guy that bites us on the feet." Said Kiyo looking at his palm that's color becoming paler. At the same time, the snake opens his mouth wide. Showing its fangs that have blood on the tip of it.

It moves at a fast speed to bite Kiyo but Kiyo manages to evade it by jumping on the kitchen table. But the snakes didn't end there. As it could climb over the table. Kiyo was about to jump off the table when there's something slashed him from behind once again.

("I'm about to fall off onto this snake!") At the same time, Mika had his throat healed and body-tackled Kiyo as he was about to fall. Instead, he was the one that became the snake's prey. Mika could feel his strength draining as he got bit by the snake.

Seeing Mika get bitten by the snake, Kiyo gets up and grabs the snake's body. On his other hand, he's holding a dagger, ready to cut the snake. But as soon he's about to cut it...

Kiyo's wrist that's grabbing the snake has been cut by the same mysterious force that's been attacking him since earlier.

("Damn, the snake got away! More importantly, I need to find someone who's been attacking us with that slash. Where is it coming from, How did he launch these attacks, I need to find him!")

 Kiyo activated "Flow Of The Wind" that's been working on his radar since the beginning. By using the sixth sense, he can send the wind to detect the sound and movement to find the enemy. Unfortunately, the act is useless because he couldn't find the enemy. No, his radar has been closed to limited range due to the dust that's been covering him once again.

("This dust keeps coming back... If I can find where it's coming from, It'll lead me to the enemies.") Using Flow Of The Wind, Kiyo caught a figure moving on the top of the shelves.

("Right there! But judging from the size, it's not a human...") As Kiyo stares at the figure, the figure shows his wings and flies off across the room. 

("Is that... A Hawk?!") Judging from Kiyo's perspective, that Hawk has the ability to scatter its dust across the room. Blocking both Kiyo and Mika's perceptions. Kiyo couldn't feel any feelings on his surface skin. Knowing that they couldn't sit any longer, Kiyo rushes over to Mika.

("Mika, listen to me!") Two seconds later, Mika lifted his Warhammer and smashed the floor to bits. Bringing them to the lower floor.

"This way!" Kiyo's instinct at that time is to just run away from the danger. Along with Mika, who's healing Kiyo's wrist wound as they run. At the same time, a figure enters a kitchen through the backdoor.

"So, they started to run huh? That's fine then. Because I'll definitely find you." It was Eden Jang. Holding his Gwandao he hit the floor with the blunt part of his spear.

"Found you..." Eden lifted his spear and slashed through the floor. Kiyo on the other hand, has detected something is moving towards them at a fast pace.

"T-This is!" Kiyo's instinct let him block the slashes with his sword. Kiyo has finally learned the secret of the mysterious slashes. But little did he know, that slashes wasn't alone. As more of them have come with fast-paced.

"Mika! Do we have anything to defend against that?!"

"Wait a second!") Mika rummaged through his back as they were running. At the same time, Kiyo could hear the footsteps above them.

"Shit, the enemy is above us! Somehow they can find our exact locations!" At that moment, Kiyo could have seen what the enemy was about to do as he pulled over Mika to the room beside them. The enemy destroys the floor above, creating dust and smoke on the floor. 

Kiyo tried to take a glimpse from inside the room but he only saw a shadow of a person going to the room opposite of them. After 10 seconds of silence, Kiyo spoke...

"Oi, whoever's standing beside that doorframe, how about you come out and show yourselves?!"

"Oh, I'm surprised that you'll be able to tell. I guess I misunderstand your perception level. You knew, don't you? That I was going to attack?"

"The same goes for you too. Even so, I couldn't detect you because of that hawk's dust."

"Sephiro Hawk, It can release powder which nullifies its prey's perception, along the five senses before he attacks its prey."

"Wow, you really had those two as a pet huh? I'm quite jealous, to be honest. Hey, whoever your name is, let's play a game."

"A game huh... Why out of the blue all of a sudden? Are you trying to buy time for something?"

"No, In fact, you've already made the first move. Now it's my turn, your two pets have already entered my room. But the fact that they were not attacking, tells me you had a card sleeves in your hand. A card that only you can use. You have another way to tell my location, aren't you? Now I'm going to ask you a question. What exactly am I doing right now?"

Kiyo's words made Eden sweat a little. But he remains calm and answers Kiyo's question. You're right, I do have another way to tell your location. Let's see your arm is leaning against the wall. And your butt along the legs is touching the floor. I guess you're pretty tired, aren't you? Oh, and I don't forget about your friend who's been crawling over to the corner of the room. I can tell you're trying to buy the time. But for what?"

"Then I'll tell you. I know exactly how you lifted your spear to slash both of us in one go. Go on, but once it happens, it'll be the starting sign..."
