~POV change[Felix]~

"Oh shit!"

With athlete-level finesse, I manage to dodge the first 5 blades, but one manages to slip past my guard and makes a shallow gash on the left side of my rib cage.

My nostrils flare up, but I manage to push past the pain.

"HAHAHA!" The leader cries out in honest childish amusement.

"This guy...he's overpowe-!"

But I'm interrupted when a fresh badge of daggers flies at me.

I try to cartwheel to the side but my wound delays my speed and I'm hit in my right shoulder with another piece of metal.

"Fuc-...wait I have an idea."

I purposely land on the floor with exaggeratedly loud

THUD!

I close my eyes and stop all movement

"I hope this works."

The leader stops his onslaught and stares at my body

"What...are you dead already?... I thought you would be stronger!"

He turns around and starts walking away. Then stops.

"Unless...you are pretending to be dead."

He turns his head to my body and grins

Shit.

Another dagger flies at me...and hits me square in the chest. He stares at me for any reaction.

After finding no movement he sighs and comes straight at me.

"At least he must have some loot on him."

He comes within arm's length of me and reaches for me.

Good.

My hand blurs and grabs his collar

The surprise was evident on his face. Even he didn't expect someone to come back from the dead.

He was quick to react. But not fast enough.

I bring my head up with tremendous force right into his nose.

"AAAGH!" He cried out in pain at his broken and bleeding nose

Nice. If it bleeds. I can kill it.

I get up on my feet.

That was close though.

The dagger only slightly penetrated my chest.

It was extremely risky. I had to do it without him noticing while reacting to it...with my eyes closed. It was a miracle.

He was on his knees. Clearly not used to pain. Then it's about time for me to teach him.

I rise to my full height, puff my chest, and square my shoulders.

I look down on him and crack my knuckles.

I lift my arm, right about to make an impact with his stupid face but a member of his crew smashes into me from the side.

I land on the floor and he kicks down on me but I perform a backward roll just in time to get away from him.

The moment I get back up, all the 8 guys position themselves around me in a circle.

Some were smiling, some were hesitant and some were calm.

But the only thing I cared about was the absence of the girl I saved, and most of all the leader in front.

He was smiling to himself.

That pig.

I'll give him something to smile about...very soon.

"...If you appreciate your life and don't want to meet your maker early, I suggest moving out of my way right now." I snapped.

None of them budged.

"Fine then."
