The Dark Elves' faces changed dramatically the moment they rushed into the encirclement, suddenly feeling a strong sense of crisis as if "we were the ones surrounded."
One Elf raised his twin blades in front of him, trying to capture Aske's attention, while subtly planning his escape by stepping feebly on the ground. Another Elf quietly approached from behind, pulling a dagger from his waist in an attempt to backstab.

Behind him, the Elf attempting the backstabbing stiffened, hastily pushing the dagger forward only to suddenly see the dark muzzle of a gun.
Bang.
Aske maintained his forward thrusting posture, but from beneath his right arm, a gun barrel abruptly extended, emitting flames toward the back.
