The woman raised her eyebrows at Alex's frontal assault. She couldn't tell what he was attempting to accomplish by directly challenging her when he couldn't even do anything with a sneak attack.
A look of curiosity surfaced on her face, wishing to see this through in its entirety. She did not attack him and let him arrive before her, swinging his sword down at her.
At the last moment, however, her eyes widened slightly, and she ducked at the last moment.
Something passed through where her neck had been a moment ago, cutting through the incoming Alex. Alex disappeared in motes of yellow light, his visage vanishing along with his aura.
The real Alex revealed himself finally, coming out of his invisibility. His aura was still completely hidden, both the concealment technique and his Yang aura working extra to help conceal him.
And even then, he had been noticed.
"That… was close," the woman said, her eyes widening.
"Are you surprised?" Alex asked.
