Chapter 175 - Shinobi? (3) (2/2)
A faint line of blood could be seen in his neck. The cut was clean, but very shallow.
John's blood instantly ran cold and his heart could help but skip a beat.
”How...?” John drily asked as he felt a chill down his spine. He almost died without even knowing how.
If Peri haven't reacted fast enough by blocking the attack with her spear and pulling him backwards, his head would have been sent flying up in the sky.
Peri, Lenny and John changed their position and raised their guards.
John silently spent some of EU and activated his Barrier Tech Ability.
At least now, he was taken by surprise, he wouldn't die by a sneak attack.
With the new formation, they guarded Forge and Saito in the middle while John, Lenny and Peri at the extremity forming a triangle.
”Did you see the enemy?” John asked without turning his eyes away from the surrounding.
”Not really.” Lenny answered while he drawn his other revolver, ”I only saw a black blur and immediately shot it after Peri's shout.”
John pressed the wound in his neck and realized that it already stopped bleeding.
”What should we do?” John glanced at his back and saw that both Forge and Saito were trembling in fear.
”I don't know.” Peri said and tightened the grip on her spear.
After a few moments of silence, John could barely hold on as sweat dripped from his forehead and back.
He was clearly nervous as the enemy this time was clearly stronger than anyone he faced before.
Even with his enhanced senses after leaving the Ceremonial Hunting Caverns, he didn't feel any danger or killing intent when he was attacked.
Only Peri was able to react, but her reaction was still slow compared to normal, that means the enemy's stealth abilities were in a whole other level.
Lenny didn't react as fast as her, but Peri's shout woke him up and with a quick draw, he almost shot the black blur.
”Stop!” The group suddenly heard a shout coming from behind them.
The one who shouted was a Hylotl that was wearing a black suit.
He didn't manage to react when as soon as his voice was heard, he was met with two muzzles and a spear aimed at him.
The Hylotl immediately broke in cold sweat.
He forced a smile and said, ”Fujiawara said to stop all aggression.”
John was confused if the Hylotl was talking them or the enemies.
Soon after the Hylotl's voice dropped, John and his group saw three people appearing out of nowhere beside the Hylotl.
The three of them were wearing tight, black clothes that covered their entire body besides their three red eyes.
In their hands, a sword about the size of a katana, but instead of a slight curve, it was straight. The name of such type of sword used by shinobi clans of Hylotl was ninjaken.
[Assassins!?] John and Peri thought at the same time.
[Ninja!?] Lenny thought.
[Shinobis!?] Forge was shocked as she recognized those people with tight black clothes. She immediately used the proper term used to name those Hylotl assassins.
