Razon glared at Ashen sternly. She was truly reckless to challenge him. It was rare to see someone with both skill and spirit, but she had the audacity to stand against him. He smirked, cracking his fingers as he observed her stance. Ashen was poised for battle, ten knives at the ready. Her mind focused on a singular objective—killing the man before her.
"Quite bold of you," Razon sneered. "You must have a high opinion of yourself. I love that. You think you have a chance against me?" He laughed mockingly. "You're nothing but a joke against the Mad Assassin!"
Without hesitation, Ashen lunged, her knives spinning in her hands with lightning speed. She slashed at him in a swift arc, but Razon was faster—ducking just in time. He drove his fist into her abdomen, sending her staggering backward. Before she could recover, he struck again, his elbow smashing into her head, followed by a sharp kick to her jaw. She crumpled to the ground, her knives clattering beside her.
