In another section of the battleground, Cedric had just finished killing one of the regular hollow ones that he had been fighting with before the ten showed up to join the fray. He was pinning the body to the ground while his blade was embedded in the opening in its chest. Taking a brief moment to catch his breath, he wiped the sweat from his eyes, while breathing heavily from exhaustion.
After only a few seconds, though, a frown creeped up his face. He quickly took out his nodachi from the chest of the creature as he suddenly began to lose connection with his ravens that were either flying around or perched on the pillars that lined the walls.
'What?'
One by one, the vision from each bird flickered and went dark, as if something was killing them off.
Actually, something was indeed killing them off.
Through the vision of one of his ravens, Cedric could see a tiny kunai fly through the air towards it, and then… his connection with the bird was severed instantly.
