Hiroshi, the level 28 epic-level warrior suddenly felt a strange disturbance, and his expression changed instantly.
He tried to turn around, but before he could—
Swish!
Bang!
His shadow quivered slightly, and a figure emerged from it, striking him on the side of the face with such force that the sound of bone cracking echoed through the surroundings and Hiroshi was hurled through the air, his mind going completely blank.
While he was still midair, before he could even recover—
Bang! Bang! Bang! ———
A sudden rain of ice bullets showered down upon him. Each sharp shard of ice tore into his flesh, biting deep and freezing his body from within.
"Arghhh!!!" Hiroshi screamed in agony, but under Azrael's precise control, the wind swallowed the sound, carrying it no farther than a few feet and making it impossible for anyone else to hear his cries.
Swish! Swish!
