章 146: Assassin Vs Mercenary (2/2)

*Shoosh*

Arthur charges toward Marcus, his senses heightened, his body pushed beyond its limits. His blade slices through the air with deadly intent, rising in a powerful upward arc.

*Trrrrrrrrhhh*

The chains of Marcus's artifact whip toward Arthur like living creatures under his control, while Marcus quickly loads another dart into his crossbow.

*Zaaap*

The dart whistles through the air at incredible speed, and the magical chains close in on Arthur from five different directions. Even with his heightened reflexes and experience, Arthur feels overwhelmed by the multi-pronged attack.

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

Arthur swings his sword at the chains, deflecting some, but Marcus's relentless barrage of darts forces him on the defensive. He moves quickly, dodging and sliding, narrowly avoiding the onslaught.
