He yanked Evelise down behind a half collapsed wall, raising a hand to signal silence. The ghouls crashed into the clearing, sniffing, clawing, snapping at the air. Their blind eyes gleamed faintly as they prowled for scent.
Sid's breath steadied. He let Evelise crouch beside him while his mind mapped the terrain: the fallen lampposts, the vines hanging low, the cracked stone above the fountain. His lips curled in a grim smile.
"Alright… stealth mode on."
He darted from cover, sprinting up the side of the wall and catching the edge of a tree branch. The ghouls snarled, lunging after the sudden noise. But Sid swung from the branch, landed behind one of them.
A strange red keyboard button appeared before his eyes.
[Execute (Stealth Kill from Behind): [Hold F]]
Without hesitation, he slit its throat.
