Chapter 81: I owe you one
Damon’s [Howl of Terror] tore through the air like a sonic boom laced with malice, flooding the area in a wave of fear-infused energy. Ghost gritted his teeth and in the end resisted the fear effect, not fully succumbing to it like a newbie but the split second gap was all Damon needed.
He instantly arrived behind Ghost, his claws digging deep into the man’s neck. Then without hesitation, he ruthlessly slashed the assassin’s throat, drawing blood energy from the madman himself.
In his final moments, Ghost stared at Damon with a face full of shock and astonishment as the life drained out of his eyes. His lips moved, trying to speak... but no sound came out. Only a quiet gurgle of disbelief.
Damon held his gaze the entire time, watching the light fade from Ghost’s eyes. That same unstoppable legend, reduced to a bleeding corpse in under thirty seconds. Even the impossible was possible with right skillset!
A couple of seconds later, Ghost’s body went limp and daggers clattered from his hands, both vanishing into shadow before they could even hit the ground. Then a slew of notifications popped up.
