After attending the classes, Anon left the academy. As soon as he exited the academy gates, he sensed many eyes staring at him from a distance.
“Oh… Seems like we have guests, huh?” Anon said as he looked at the distant houses they were using for cover.
Demonic Eyes…
[Name: Jurist]
[Level: 54]
[Name: Van]
[Level: 48]
[Name: Merper]
[Level: 56]
….
Their names and levels appeared in front of Anon.
’12 guys, huh? All below level 60 too. Well, I guess they chose the wrong guys to kill me, huh?’
Anon looked around and started walking exactly in the opposite direction of his house.
He headed towards the forest behind the academy. ｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖
This forest is known as Eversong Woods. It used to be the home of elves before they established this kingdom. Now, only dangerous beasts live there.
As Anon walked towards the forest, he sensed each of them constantly following him.
“He is heading towards his own grave.”
“Yeah, I can see that.”
“Just stay focused. If we get him to enter the main core of the forest, we won’t have to soil our hands with his filthy blood.”
The assassins following Anon discussed among themselves.
‘Good, good. Follow me to your graves, you idiots,’ Anon thought as he continued walking inside.
After 10 minutes of walking, Anon finally entered the forest.
“He’s inside.”
“What should we do?”
“Just wait and see where he’s going.”
“I already told you the plan. We’ll scare him and make him run towards the center of the forest. The beasts there will take care of him after that,” their leader spoke.
“Yes, ma’am,” they all replied.
As Anon walked further towards the center of the forest, he realized something was amiss.
‘Why aren’t these guys coming out to attack me? Are they scared? No, this can’t be. What are they planning to do?’
Suddenly, Anon started running…
“He’s running…”
“He sensed our presence…”
“But why is he running towards the center?”
Anon heard the last guy and only one question arose in his mind…
‘They want me to go to the center of the forest, but why? Are there more dangerous beasts there?’ Anon thought as he used his skill.
<Illusion>
Suddenly, a black cloud covered Anon’s body and he disappeared.
“What the heck?”
“He just disappeared?”
“How did he do that?”
They all got confused as they saw Anon vanish like a ghost while he was running.
“Hold your positions,” the leader commanded, and they all stopped on the trees they were perched on.
‘I’m getting a sense of déjà vu.’ Anon thought as he appeared behind one of the female assassins.
“Hello, love,” Anon whispered in her ear.
She immediately withdrew her daggers and moved her hands incredibly fast towards Anon’s neck.
But before the dagger could reach Anon’s neck, he stopped her hand.
“He-” Before she could shout for help, Anon grabbed her mouth very tightly.
“Search for him, everyone,” the leader ordered.
Mnnnhhhh
She tried to shout, but Anon’s grip on her mouth was too tight. She even tried to bite his hand, but nothing happened.
“Look into my eyes, love,” Anon said as he used his skill.
<Hypnosis>
Suddenly, her eyes glowed purple.
[Hypnosis wear-off time: 10 minutes 59 seconds.]
‘Being an elf gives her the benefit of having a shorter Hypnosis wear-off time, huh? I have to hurry up…’ Anon thought as he removed his hand from her mouth.
“Start killing your partners for me, love,” Anon commanded.
“Yes, master,” she replied as she withdrew her other dagger and leapt onto another tree.
‘Now, the next one,’ Anon thought as he located the next assassin and quietly jumped onto his tree.
“What’s up with you, son?” Anon whispered into his ear.
As soon as he turned around, Anon pierced his throat with his sickle.
“I wouldn’t waste my mana to hypnotize someone like you,” Anon spoke as he pulled his dagger out.
The assassin he had hypnotized was also killing her subordinates.
Eight minutes later.
“Did anyone find him?” the boss asked.
No reply came.
“I asked you guys something. Did you find him or not?” She asked again in a very low voice, but no reply came this time either.
Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong.
“Hello, love.” Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
She immediately turned back and summoned her swords.
“Who are you?” She asked.
“Well, who do you think I am?” Anon asked.
“I don’t know, but you’re not the guy we received the contract for. We were told he was weak and had a very low level. I ask again, who are you?” She asked.
Anon noticed her face was covered by a black mask.
“Before you die, don’t you want to show me your face?”
“The only one who’s going to die here is you. Everyone, I found him… Come here,” she shouted.
“Oh, are you searching for these guys…?” Anon asked as he kicked the tree next to him.
Thud
Thud
Thud
….
Suddenly, the corpses of her subordinates started falling from the tree. The last corpse to fall from the tree belonged to the girl Anon had hypnotized at the start.
“This…” Suddenly, a very grim expression covered her face as she looked at Anon.
“So, what were you saying again, love?” Anon asked as a smile appeared on his face.
“Curse you, you bastard. Just die,” she said as she ran towards him at full speed.
<Chain Binding>
Suddenly, hundreds of chains burst from the ground and tightly gripped Anon’s body from every side.
The grip of the chains was extremely tight.
“Wow… That’s a good trick you used, huh…?” Anon said, smiling at her.
“DIEEEEE, FUCKERRRRR….” She shouted.
“Yeah, no.” As soon as she entered Anon’s attacking range, he used a little force and immediately broke the chains.
Without any delay, Anon stabbed the girl with the death sickles, killing her instantly.
“Hah… Seems like a good girl but i have to send gifts to their contractor.” Anon spoke as he cuts her head From her body.
