Underestimated

7 was confused when he saw Leo knock Mira out. He couldn't understand why Leo did that. The only conclusion he could come to was that he understood that reinforcements would be getting there quickly, so he was surrendering.

"You are making the right move. Surrender now, and we will let you go," 7 lied with a smile on his face. There was no way that they would be letting Leo go alive, but it would be easier to kill a person who thinks that they are on the same side.

Leo shook his head. 

"Both of us know that you won't let me leave alive. Why do we need to lie to each other?" As he said that, he sunk into the ground, disappearing into the darkness.

7 was caught off guard. He quickly put up a shield around him while furiously searching for where Leo had disappeared. As he was searching around, a tendril tried to strike him from behind, hitting his aura shield.
