Kyrian's eyes focused on a beast at the 5° stage of the Qi Accumulation realm that was preparing to dive upon a young guard who was vainly trying to hide.
Kyrian looked, aimed, and could perfectly see the distance the beast would have to cover.
And then.
The arrow was released.
There was no grand sound, only the silent hiss of air being cut before the arrow's tip met its target with absolute precision, piercing the flying beast's brain.
The minimal icy energy that Kyrian had imbued into the arrowhead was enough to freeze the beast's brain midair for a microsecond before it fell heavily from the sky.
The beast's body crashed outside the walls, quickly lost to sight among the countless other beasts.
The young guard looked around confused, not understanding what had just happened.
By then, Kyrian had already turned. Another arrow released. Another beast fell.
And then another. Kyrian moved with a terrifying calm. An absolutely serene point in the midst of chaos.
