While hunters aren't very strong in direct combat, they are still much better than assassins.
Welber's heart was filled with doubts, but with the arrow already on the string, he had to let it fly. He quickly drew his short sword and stabbed towards his target.
As he closed in, Welber got a clear look at the target's appearance.
It was a handsome human youth, the deep gray glow of the longbow in his hands confirming that he was the one who had launched the attack.
Not an elf?
Feeling doubtful, Welber didn't hesitate with his short sword as he aimed for the opponent's neck.
Suddenly, Welber saw the youth's eyes.
Those eyes, relaxed yet with a hint of... taunt?
Before Welber could comprehend what was happening, he felt as if his right hand, wielding the short sword, had hit an iron wall that couldn't be shaken.
Only then did Welber notice that the young man had merely lifted his left hand, using the black hand armor on it to block his attack.
How is this possible?
