Warning; things related to violence and gore



Cale could feel the stinging the palm of his hands caused by the recoil;

Though it was just for a second,

  The two assassins' behind him saw that his shield had faltered a bit and they took that chance; lunging forward with their daggers in their grip. One of them had forcefully broken the shield while the other advanced towards Cale.

Completely missing the slight curve appearing on the redhead's eyes.

When the assassin's daggers blade was about to touched it's target, a silver light had blocked it. 

  And with no time to react, Cale had coated his palms with the shield while aiming for the light spear that the half blood placed surrounded him and...

He yanked it before plunging the spear to one of the assassins' throat,

The spear didn't just make a hole on the poor souls neck, It had also burned and scalded the skin around it; The assassin probably had felt what it's like to be burned alive that moment.

He couldn't even react since half of his neck was thoroughly sliced open. Killing him on the spot.

The other assassin was also soon dealt with spontaneously by being crushed by a silvery shield that looked too holy for what it was used for,

Ha...

Cale had never got into a fight before, nor did he ever had to. But oddly enough, it all felt natural to him;

CLANGG

Another spear was thrown towards him. This time, he didn't even have to use his own shield, because the spears of light that surrounded him had done the job for him.

Cale moved his attention towards where the half blood was,

He wasn't injured, but his entire body was covered in murky red. In his right grip was the severed head of the veiled knight. Though...

The veil that was covering her face probably had fallen off at one point of their battle; Though it was a bit dark, Cale could see a slit-like scar trailing from the veiled knight's mouth corners reaching to her jawline in a rugged manner.

Cale could also see the bloodied severed bodies behind the half blood

How crude,

"Hyaille..."

It wasn't just Cale who was looking at Luka's direction, The store clerk was also looking at the severed head in Luka's hand.

WIIIIINGGG

WIIIIIINGGGG

"Your sacrifice won't be in vain. None of your sacrifices will be"

Luka suddenly can't feel any mana around him; and something had finally clicked in his head. The fight so far... They were just buying time.

They were aware from the beginning that they wouldn't have won regardless if the half blood was handicapped or not. It was only a matter of time that they would be killed off--

time...?

"Good job distracting them, Rayne." An eccentric voice could be heard, "We'll take things from here" a shadow walked towards the store clerk and petted her shoulder.

A vampire,

Luka recognize that vermin,

He was the rat that had pledge his loyalty to the White star,
