But as luck would have it, just as he pushed open the heavy iron door of the stairwell, he was astonished to find that a long blade aimed directly at his heart was waiting for him outside the door.
Beside the long blade, a powerful, heavy hammer also swung towards him.
The opponent clearly had no intention of letting Vikram live. At this moment, Vikram could even feel the cold wind brought by the weapons, stinging his cheeks.
In the nick of time, Vikram quickly rolled backward, narrowly escaping the terrifying blow.
But before he could even catch his breath, an arrow, whistling with a fierce wind, shot towards him from an unknown direction.
Vikram, who had just evaded that dangerous attack, could only struggle to cope.
Caught off guard, he drew his long blade and struck the arrow.
Fortunately, the arrow's force was a little less than he expected, and the blade precisely cut the arrow, which was aimed at his forehead, into two pieces.
