Hidden Viper

"T-The Devil!"

The first fallen assassin stammered weakly, his fading gaze indicating that he wouldn't be surviving this.

"I…"

The third assassin, whose chest was stabbed yet didn't seem to mind, spoke.

But the moment he spoke, Kieran, who was at the entrance, vanished.

Instinctively, the second assassin was fully on guard.

Then…

Grak!

A clear noise came from behind him.

Without even inspecting, the second assassin could tell it was the noise of a human's neck being snapped. 

He had heard it too many times, to the point that he could tell how many bones had been broken in that one snap.

Then another snap!

Gark!

The second assassin fell to the ground, his eyes opened wide until the very last moment. That fearful face of his wore a heavy sense of disbelief. He couldn't believe he had died just like that without any resistance.

How! How is this possible?!
