Kaden did not have any chance to respond as the three players immediately started attacking him. Unfortunately for them, he was still a step faster, his minions already waiting in the back.
As the first assassin lunged at him, Umbra emerged from the shadows and leaped at the assailant. The beast's fangs sank deep into the guy's arm, causing him to drop his weapon and scream in pain.
The second assassin tried to come from the side, only to be blocked by Abyss Terror. The third one was barraged by dark bolts by the two imps, with the hand moving randomly and punching various things.
Kaden smirked at the chaos. "Getting to me is not easy! Tell your girl boss-" But before he could finish his sentence, the tide started to turn.
The initial shock of Kaden's surprise defense was wearing off, and the assassins began coordinating their moves, showcasing their training and synergy as a team.
