Lynn sprang backward.
He landed in an instant and raised his head. The bloody cut on his neck began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Such ordinary human vulnerabilities had long since become meaningless to him.
The three Mechanical Humanoids vanished again, fading from view before him.
They concealed themselves with psionics.
Lynn's gaze was as sharp as an eagle's.
At that moment, he understood what Sir Awen wanted to test. If his physical defenses could be breached, he would be facing assassins and killers capable of launching surprise attacks. His task was not to defeat them in a head-on confrontation, but to locate them before they could strike first.
