"Who?!"
August startled, his gun trained on the surrounding darkness, his heart pounding with shock. This base was built atop a cliff, and the only exit was a path carved through the cliffside. He had it under lockdown. To get in, an intruder would have to kill all his men first.
But August was confident that his men would have sent a signal before anyone could make a move. Moreover, even the Divine Envoy hadn't sensed the slightest anomaly.
"Hehe, who am I?"
A light chuckle floated through the air, followed by a sharp whistling sound. August was still confused, but the Divine Envoy beside him suddenly shot backward.
"Be careful!"
After they fell back some distance, August finally managed to steady his nerves, only to make a horrifying discovery: an extra head now lay on the ground. The man's face was frozen in an expression of pure terror, as if he had witnessed something horrifying in his final moments.
"A Silver Guard!" August cried out, his voice trembling.
