Sung Shihyun Instinct Slicing (343)

“Ah, hey, you moron!”

The Star of Pride yelled at the man flying towards him while scattering his blood in the air.

“Even if you’re thirsty for contribution points, don't stick your nose where it doesn't belo…!”

He paused all of a sudden.

A vague feeling of suspicion overtook him.

Perhaps the man’s greed had numbed his fears, but to yell ‘I’ll help you!’ right before a surprise attack? That was definitely strange.

Above all, the movement of the man’s sword caught his eye. He couldn’t quite tell whether it was intentional or not, but he noticed that the man’s blade was coming towards his neck as he flew.

He was in doubt for long but was quick to take action.

The Star of Pride unwittingly backed away from the man and fired an arrow. Just before the chain on the arrow wrapped around the man…

“…Damn.”

Pop! An explosive sound rang out.

The chains hit against each other instead of binding the man.

“I see that your perception is just as fast as ever.”

Dazed, the Star of Pride looked back over his shoulders. There, he saw a perfectly white row of teeth visible through a grin.

“You know what?”

Sensing danger, the Archer’s body moved automatically.

At the same time, the thoughts, ‘he’s not on our side’ and ‘can it be…?’ crossed his mind.

However, the enemy’s sword was much faster than him. It was his mistake to allow the man to come near without suspecting that he might be an enemy.

“Of all the Executors, I’ve always hated you the most!”

Swish!

That was the end.

The Star of Pride’s head separated from his body and flew into the air.

The man landed in a heap amid everyone’s astonishment.
