Capítulo 40: War & Deceit

A silver streak passed through the darkness like a shooting star crossing the cloudless sky.

*Thud*

The silver streak impacted, impaling the target that slumped to the ground writhing and thrashing for dear life.

The violent movements lasted a few seconds, but nobody came to the target's aid. Instead, a shadow emerged next to the dying man.

"This is really disgusting," The shadow mumbled.

A thin longsword materialized in his right hand, and he sliced it through the dying man's neck with a single move, ending his suffering.

Blood spurted through the surrounding area while the dying man finally went still.

The longsword turned into a white wisp that disappeared in the shadow's War Rune a moment later. Meanwhile, the shadow stepped forward to retrieve the arrow that was stuck deep in the Gogi's gaping mouth.

One moment, the Gogi was yawning – tired from a long night watch – and the next moment an arrow drilled into his mouth.
