Chapter 18- Earl Sandro
Dave went on a narrow street where there were no people.
He is always monitoring their movements and he was confident that he only needed one slash to kill them as his sword technique is already level 8.
He didn’t know the real power of this technique but he was sure that he could also one slash Peak-tier Emperor.
He had many skills under this technique and all of them are strong.
Draco on the other hand didn’t know what was happening but he silently ate his cotton candy that was bought by Dave.
As he walked down the narrow street, he stopped then looked at the people following him and said, “Come out”
The assassins were stunned as they were confident in their stealth skill but he still detected them.
All of them remove their stealth as they look at Dave with disdain.
They read some reports that he was only a Peak-tier Grandmaster and his father was out of the country for a special reason.
They were confident that he would not leave a bodyguard on Dave as he was secured on his safety at the Academy.
One of the assassins spoke with a sneer, “Well the rising champion will die on our hands today, what an achievement”
All of them laughed but Dave only sneered at them in his mind as he looked at them as if they were ants.
He pretends to be scared to gather more information about the one who hired them.
“Wh..who are you? Who sent you here? Don’t you know that my father is the guardian?”
The assassins laughed at him and said, “Of course, we are hired to kill you. Since you are about to die, I will tell you who hired us. It was Earl Sandro and for the reason why he hired us? we don’t know.”
After that, they started to move toward Dave as they were confident in killing him.
Dave who was looking at them and said calmly, “Amateurs, what kind of assassin will reveal their employer”
After that, he takes his sword that was given by his father from his storage space given by the system. He gave him this when he was 12 years old when he passed to him the Sword Dragon Technique.
This sword was only a King level item and he didn’t know if it could withstand his power.
He holds it horizontally and unsheathes only 1/10 of the sword from the hilt then he sheathes it again.
“Sword Dragon Technique”
He said as the assassin who was about to attack him became confused.
They didn’t see his movements but they heard what technique he used.
They didn’t know that after Dave used his technique, their heads immediately rolled down the ground and their faces were full of fear as they didn’t even see his movements.
They didn’t have time to scream as they were all beheaded by a 15-year-old guy.
Dave was shocked by the power of this technique. It was his first time using it against a real enemy as he was always practicing it with his father.
The sword immediately cracked and turned into dust. “Looks like I need to get a stronger sword.”
Dave looked at Draco and said, “Draco you have your meal today”
Draco excitedly opened his mouth and then his mouth released a black hole and then it absorbed their body until nothing happened.
Dave knew that he had that skill because Draco can eat anything even larger than his body.
He didn’t know if he was a Dragon or a Taotie but he was really cute.
After that, he looked at the moon and said, “Earl Sandro huh, it looks like I need to teach you a lesson”.
After that, he disappeared.
……
Not all with high Ranking in the Empire was strong but some of them gained their position by using their brain.
Earl Sandro was one of them as he gained his Earl Title because of his merits.
Sandro was only a Mid-tier Grandmaster and he is 40 years old this year.
He doesn’t have a family as he always likes to be alone.
He is ruling a small city that was given by the Emperor.
….
Sandro was sitting on a chair with some black-clothed man who was reporting to him.
The black-clothed man said, “We lost connection with no.16 and 18. They never failed their mission and if they already completed it, they are already here”
Sandro angrily replied, “What? You called yourself an assassin if you can’t even complete a mission to kill a boy”
The black-clothed man replied, “Hmmp, Sandro it looks like you forgot that I could kill you here right now. You must be thankful as we never harm our employer but know your place”
Sandro quietened and replied, “So what will you do now?”
The black-clothed man replied, “We will send a stronger assassin than before but it will be hard as he will now become more cautious and the worst case is his father knows that someone will try to assassinate his son.”
“We didn’t know how no.16 and 18 failed but I guess the guardian still leaves a protector to his son”
After that, he disappeared and Sandro can’t even see his movements.
Sandro who hired the assassin is now anxious and filled with anxiety as he was scared to be discovered.
He immediately commands his guard to strengthen the defense in his place.
Little he didn’t know that Dave already infiltrated his castle.
