Alex's instincts kicked in the moment he saw the guard's eyes widen in shock.
In a flash, he drew Virtue's Edge and lunged forward, aiming to silence the Red Demon before he could react and alert others to his presence.
The guard fumbled for an alarm button on his wrist, but Alex was quicker.
With a single, swift strike, he sliced through the guard's arm, severing it cleanly.
The Red Demon let out a guttural cry of pain, but Alex didn't give him the chance to recover.
He followed up with a penetrating strike to the guard's throat, cutting off any further sounds.
The guard slumped to the floor, lifeless, as Alex quickly scanned the area for any other immediate threats.
Since he had already stored his ship away, he couldn't perform any further scans and only had himself to rely on.
Alex's spatial perception spread out, mapping the immediate area around him.
