Chapter 15 First Kill

Klop Klop Klop

Snow was falling and the road looked like it was covered with cotton. Cold winds blew from time to time, howls of wild animals echoing from the nearby mountains and forest. A horse pulling a wooden cart with a boy covered in fur coat and hat was traveling on this lonely road.

The sound of the horse's breathing could be heard with steam coming from its nose, the cart driver was like a statue sitting on top with no visible movements, his hands were also covered by the coat.

Swoosh!

A glint of metal from an arrowhead suddenly came rushing from the nearby trees aiming towards his heart. The arrow was so fast and sudden giving him no time to react.

Pffft!

The arrow struck the boy, droplets of blood bloomed and stained the coat and some splashed on the road.

Ack!

Eznho groaned and was sent tumbling towards the back of the cart and fell on the road.

Neigh!

The horse was frightened and reared in terror then galloped forward and only stopped after a hundred meters. Everything happened too fast.

"That was easy,"

A thin man with sharp eyes came out from the woods holding a bow on his hand with a quiver of arrows on his back was grinning and walked towards the body lying on road. He did not care about the horse and only thought about the bank card with a beaming smile.

....

A body laid down on the road covered in fur coat lying on his stomach. Blood stained the snow on his left side, a shadow slowly approached.

Thud!

Eagle Eye kicked the body but there was no reaction, even so, he did not let his guard down and brought out a dagger. He was still cautious and used his feet to turn the body around.

"No hard feelings boy, just doing business."

There was no remorse on his voice.

A pool of blood painted the snow, both of the boy's hand were still covered by the fur that made him narrow his eyes. But the boy's necklace caught his attention, the ring of gold. With his sharp vision, he could see the engraved patterns on it that made him curious.

"Hmmm?"

Greed took the better of him and actually kneeled on one knee on the boy's left side and extended his hand.

"What have we got here?"

Before he could touch the ring, the boy's eyes suddenly snapped open showing a pair of cold black eyes at the same time a tearing sound could be heard and a dagger coated with heavenly energy penetrated the fur coat and went straight to his chest.

Shit!

He knew he fucked up and immediately leaped backward but it was too late. Blood gushed from his chest and painted the snow red in front of him. He covered it with his hand and tried to stop the bleeding by revolving his energy but his heart has taken a serious damage. Blood started to flow from his mouth and nose.

Eznho slowly got up with difficulty and pulled his right hand from his chest that was pinned by the arrow. He was on guard all the time because of Randolph's warning, it turns out it was not for naught.

But he still underestimated the enemy's power and nearly cost him his life. He barely had any time to react due to the arrow's speed and could only raise his right hand in front of his chest and cover it with heavenly energy. Despite that, the power behind the arrow was tremendous and actually penetrated his hand and went straight to his chest.
