Just as Logan waited for Bard's reply, a chill crawled down his spine.
He moved on instinct, activating the coin he had planted the moment he entered the room in preparation for anything going wrong.
The coin by the door shattered.
Logan vanished from hbbbis position and reappeared near the entrance.
Still… the shadow had grazed him.
The fabric of his clothes decayed rapidly before his eyes, crumbling away fast enough to expose the smooth skin beneath.
Logan's pupils constricted in shock and horror.
At his previous location, the shadow writhed faintly, almost as though surprised he had managed to dodge.
"What are you?"
Logan didn't hesitate. He reacted instantly, releasing the daggers surrounding Bard.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The blades pierced through multiple parts of Bard's body, killing him instantly.
Silence swallowed the room.
Only the shadow remained, motionless against the darkness.
"I can tell you're a living thing. What are you?"
