Two jet-black arrows, sharp like thorns, struck Aiwass in the left and right chest respectively.
The third arrow directly severed one of Aiwass's antlers, hidden by illusion techniques, piercing perfectly through his forehead.
The arrowhead exited through the back of the skull, while the arrow shaft remained lodged inside. Either way, this was clearly a fatal wound...
It was only after this that time resumed its normal flow.
The carriage continued forward, the coachman in front oblivious to Aiwass having been assassinated. The three arrows piercing Aiwass were completely silent, leaving only finger-sized holes on the carriage, which didn't even vibrate.
That was an "instantaneous" assassination.
From sensing the crisis to the third arrow hitting, only five percent of a second had passed.
He didn't even know where the attacker had launched the ambush from, and the mortal wound had already been inflicted.
