Chapter 105: Crazy Friend
The sudden and overwhelmingly destructive attack had everyone, including the Free Bird Mercenaries, stunned. One arrow. Four mangled corpses.
What.
"Is—is that an opening?" Damas asked, breaking the silence and inadvertently urging things into motion again.
"Yes, it fucking is!" Dima shouted and dove forward.
’Twin Demon Sword Style.’
Dima’s slightly curved swords turned into flashes of light in the light of lanterns and stars breaking through the darkness of night. He knocked aside the weapons of his enemies with one sword before taking off arms and heads with the other.
He killed three people before the thugs reacted and thought to counterattack. He killed two more before they finally managed to stop him. The other thugs rushed forward to catch up to Damas, who had picked up Squawks and Tair and started running.
Mole took down the last two on that side before he and Dima held up the rear to secure Lily’s and Damas’ retreat.
But they no longer had the advantage. The thugs had overcome their surprise and were coming at them in full force.
While retreating, it was difficult even for Dima and Mole to defend against almost a dozen armed thugs. There were too many and too chaotic for them to risk attacking. They could only look for the faster ones and poke the ones that stood out.
Although Damas was strong, he couldn’t outrun everyone while carrying the heavy Squawks and the worryingly light Tair. Mole and Dima couldn’t run backward faster than the thugs could run forward, either. Lily was also weak and suffering from pain and slight blood loss.
