Everything happened so fast that before Kent knew it, he was staring face-to-face with an Immortal Lord who also happened to be a Shadow Legend.
He, on the other hand, was just a Heavenly Ascension stage warrior, and assassination-wise, he was only a Shadow King.
The gap was vast, and he knew that from the get-go. However, with the promise he had just made to protect Aysel and her sister, his grip on Aysel was firm, and his attention on the assassin was unwavering.
The danger was in the air, and so he could not summon anyone from the tower or send anyone in. Even so, he did not panic.
He moved Aysel to stand behind him. Fallon also moved and stood beside him, her expression showing fear.
Suddenly, the assassin let out a low hum. "How moving. To think you managed to evade dozens of assassins over the years, even managing to cross two continents somehow, I am impressed, Fallon... Lord Dove will be proud of you."
