The Fall of Falcon Scott (59)

Something broke the dark surface of the shadows and flew into the cold air, moving fast enough to look like a black blur. Before anyone could react, Kim was falling down… and so was Luster, who had pushed her aside at the last moment. There was blood in the air, a startled expression on his face… and something was very wrong with the way he was falling…

The black blur did not stop. A sharp blade instantly flashed toward Dorn, who had a startled expression on his face. The giant man only had enough time to slightly turn his torso — the blade missed his heart, slicing through armor and leaving a deep wound on his chest.

The blade continued forward without pause, a split second away from piercing Belle's head. Instead, it simply passed through it… the swordsman could not possibly dodge, but he just barely managed to activate his Aspect Ability and phase through the strike.
