Chapter 418 A dark night (2)
I couldn’t help jolting awake when I saw the two swords in front of me.
Neither of the swords were moving, but I could see that they were shaking.
It was clear that the owners of the sword were both trying to push back the other side, but they were evenly matched.
I didn’t dare move too suddenly out of fear of drawing attention, but I also knew that I couldn’t just stay here.
I quickly looked around and found that there were two cloaked figures that were standing there above my bed.
I recognized one of them since I had made sure to recognize what their cloak looked like this afternoon.
It was Shadow Five.
When I saw her, I realized that she had disappeared since coming back to the dwarven residence.
In fact, I had completely forgotten about her because the dwarves had dragged me away. But seeing her now, I realized that she had been hiding and watching over me the whole time.
There was a small part of me that almost wanted to ask how long she had been watching…
After all, I had taken a bath earlier…
But it wasn’t the time for that now.
My life was in danger after all.
After a moment of hesitation, I asked in a decisive voice, “What should I do to help?”
Shadow Five was surprised to hear this, but then she said, “Move to the side and give me space to fight. I’ll hold him back, so get ready to move on three.”
I gave a nod and then started counting in my head.
On the count of three, I suddenly stood up and ran to the other side of the room.
At the same time, Shadow Five had thrown a small dagger out at the other cloaked figure to force them away.
They jumped all the way to the window, making sure that they had an escape route, but they didn’t jump out just yet. They were watching carefully to see what we would do next.
Shadow Five however didn’t give this cloaked figure a chance to catch their breath.
She charged right at the cloaked figure and slashed out at them.
This time, the cloaked figure was at a disadvantage.
This cloaked figure had been able to go even with Shadow Five before because they had launched a sneak attack, but in a direct clash, the cloaked figure was clearly weaker.
It wasn’t about strength anymore, but technique.
The sword techniques of Shadow Five made her sword disappear, making it hard for the cloaked figure to even follow her sword.
They weren’t able to stop these attacks and it didn’t take long before slashes appeared on the cloak of this cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure was being pushed back more and more, but they moved closer and closer to the window. If they wanted, they would still be able to escape at any time.
I knew that I couldn’t just remain idle here or else we would never be able to find out who sent this person to kill me.
So I moved to the door while saying, “Help, there’s an…”
Before I could finish, I could sense danger coming from the door.
This was the sense of danger that I had built up over being in countless life and death situations, so I didn’t doubt it at all. It was coming right from the door in front of me.
So I immediately ducked down.
When I did, there was something that smashed through the door, creating a hole in it. This thing flew over my head and stabbed into the wall.
This thing created a large hole in the wall after stabbing into it before falling to the ground.
When it fell to the ground, I saw that it was a large broadsword that had been thrown through the door.
This was a giant broadsword, but it had been thrown through the door that easily. It was clear that whoever did it had immense strength that couldn’t be looked down on.
But it was a good thing that they had made such a large sound when they threw the broadsword through the door that it alerted the guards outside.
It didn’t take long for there to be the sounds of guards stirring outside this room.
It didn’t sound like it would take long for them to arrive.
I just had to hold out until then.
But through the hole in the door, I could see another cloaked figure with a large broadsword.
This cloaked figure had not only brought one, but two broadswords.
Now that I was on the ground like this, it was unlikely that I would be able to dodge this if he attacked me.
I had an ugly expression on my face when I saw this.
The cloaked figure also knew this, so he raised his sword as if he was about to throw it at me.
But before he could, I heard a voice say, “Duck!”
I didn’t hesitate at all to follow this order and ducked out of the way.
As I lowered my head, I saw a dagger fly by past my head.
This dagger was familiar…it was like the dagger that Shadow Five had thrown at the cloaked figure earlier.
That dagger flew through the hole in the door at the cloaked figure outside.
That cloaked figure was caught off guard by this dagger, but they were still able to react in time to lift the broadsword sideways to block this dagger.
The dagger hit the broadsword and then bounced back into the door.
This dagger throw didn’t do much, but it was more than enough to distract the cloaked figure, giving Shadow Five the chance to run back to my side so that she could guard me.
The two cloaked figures looked at each other and then shared a nod, as if they were planning to attack together.
But before they could, the sounds of the guards running up could be heard.
When they heard this, they knew that they couldn’t stay here any longer.
So the larger cloaked figure swung his broadsword forward at the door in front of him.
