Meanwhile…
While Emilia was swallowed by the black smoke, facing all four Deathguards alone, the others remained far behind.
Mary and Aron didn't join the fight—not because they didn't want to help, but because jumping in would only slow Emilia down and put them in unnecessary danger.
But there was another reason.
There was still one more threat they had to deal with…
The danger lurking in the shadows.
The thing is...
Amaras had five Deathguards, his five most loyal warriors.
The Twin Knights, the mage, the Lich… that made four. But the final one was actually the worst of them all, the most pain in the ass to deal with.
The Deathguard Assassin.
Yes, there was a literal undead assassin hiding somewhere, watching them, waiting for a perfect moment to strike, while having a skill that allowed it to stay completely invisible to normal sight.
But then, a question naturally came up:
Why wasn't the Assassin targeting Emilia?
