Shadows Enter Fantom City [Part 2]
There was no obvious reason for it.
No enemy presence she could clearly sense.
Yet the instincts she had developed through countless dangerous situations were warning her.
Someone was here.
Lane slowed.
Her fingers moved toward the bow at her back.
Then—
A blade flashed from the darkness.
She leaned backward.
The sword passed inches from her face.
Lane's eyes narrowed.
"So that's how we're doing this?"
Ten figures emerged from the shadows.
Their faces were hidden.
Weapons appeared in their hands.
One stepped forward.
"Take her."
The attack began immediately.
Lane drew her bow.
Three arrows appeared between her fingers.
She released them almost simultaneously.
Fwish!
The first arrow struck a man's shoulder.
The second pierced another attacker's thigh.
The third struck the hand of the man attempting to cast a spell.
"Wind Arrow."
A sharp gust exploded from Lane's bowstring.
The injured assassin was thrown backward.
