A Tale of A Thousand Years Ago [8]

I moved carefully, not intending to catch the attention of the man. Though I'm sure he wouldn't have noticed me even if I was a bit hasty—I mean, that guy didn't flinch when the whole outside was burning and his men were screaming. 

I stepped inside carefully as I raised the sword. Just to be sure, I scanned the tent's inside and searched for something I could use, but…there was nothing that could be used as a weapon. 

As I thought, I had no way but to attack him directly with the sword. It was a dangerous way, to an extent that I could die if the guy noticed my presence and countered. If he was up against me in a fair fight, there's no chance of me surviving. 

The man was thrice my height, only a jab from him would be enough to knock me unconscious. That's why I had to be careful.
