The two robed figures immediately leapt from their positions and sprinted forward.
At first, it looked like they were charging straight at Bob. He braced himself, ready to deflect their strikes again. But just as they closed the distance, both enemies suddenly vaulted high into the air, soaring over Bob's head with ease.
Bob looked up, startled, as the two landed behind him and dashed straight toward me with blades in hand and eyes locked on their target.
So they were aiming to finish me first.
Come on!
I screamed internally, forcing myself to stay calm.
One of them suddenly hurled a kunai in my direction. It zipped through the air, fast. I instinctively raised my Arcane Barrier in front of me.
But before the kunai made contact, it exploded into a burst of gray smoke, engulfing me in a thick cloud.
I could not see a thing.
This is bad.
I spun around, eyes darting left and right, heart pounding. My hands tightened on my weapon.
They could come from any side.
Ping!
