Jenna stood up from her chair and started moving towards the door.
“Wait…let me get this.” Mike said as he stood up from his chair.
As mike moved towards the door he felt a friendly presence from across the door.
*Creak*
“Rux..?” Mike said as he looked at a red haired guy standing on the front door, his eyes were green and face was fair.
“Yo…” Rux said as he waved his hand towards mike.
“What are you doing here so late ?” Mike asked.
“Sir Robert, wants a piece of work done.”
“So late ?”
“Yep…”
“What’s the work ?”
“There is this guy we have to assassinate on the outskirts…he is holding something valuable that sir robert wants.”
“Give me a minute to get ready.” Mike said as he weared a magic coat from the wardrobe.
“But you just came back.” Jenna said as she grabbed mike’s hand and stopped him from leaving.
“But i gave lord robert my word, that i will always be available at his service no matter what time…day or night.” Mike said as he kissed jenna on her head.
“Dad will you be back for the night story time ?” Alisa asked as she grabbed mike’s another hand.
“Oh… Darling i will be back in a blink.” Mike said as he also kisses Alisa’s head.
“Really…you promise ?” Alisa asked.
“Yes….bye and you two take care.” Mike said as he left.
*Thud*
Closing the door to his house mike looked at rux. His expressions immediately changed to a professional killer.
“Name and attire of the target.” Mike asked rux.
“Bro…why can’t you talk same with me as you were with your family a minute ago…?” Rux asked in a sad tone.
“Don’t fuck with me. Just tell me what i asked you.”
“Buuu…mike you meanie. Well his name is Richard and he is a trader. It is said that he bringing something for the king and master robert wants it. We have to get the things done in a way that it looks as if someone else attacked the guy and stole his goods.”
“Master robert wants us to steal something that belongs to the king hinself ain’t that cheating on the king ?” Mike asked as he puts his hand on his chin.
“Friend we didn’t took oath of loyalty for the king we did it for master robert and we do what he tells us to do… let’s go. You got your weapon ?”
“Yeah. Let’s go.” Both of them disappeared into the shadows as they stopped talking.
After reaching the outskirts both of them looked at a big camp… situated in an open space.
“Is this the one ?” Mike asked.
“Yes.”
“What does the target looks like ?”
“Blonde hair…black eyes, fat body and a mole under his nose.” Rux described. 𝐞𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥．𝗰𝐨𝗺
“What is he carrying ?”
“A black box…with something very precious inside.”
“What might that be ?”
“I don’t know but since the king requested it, this thing must be something very precious to him.”
“How many guards are protecting him ?”
“17 elites and 30 mercenaries are with him sleeping inside their tents.”
“How many on the night watch ?”
“Five elites and three mercenaries…2 on south, 2 on west, 2 on the north and 2 on the east side of the camp.”
“Which side you taking ?” Mike asked as he pulled out a pair of daggers from his pocket.
“As always…North-eastern.” Rux said as he pulled out three kunais from his inventory.
“Good…it will be south-west for me.”
Both of them disappeared from their positions.
North east side of the camp…
Two guys were sitting near the fire and talking to each other.
“So, you got a wife ?”
“Na, i like the whores of that new brothel that just opened up in the city.”
“Oh so-” before they could’ve said any other word to each other two kunais pierced through their throats and killed both of them.
“I like whores too, but not you.” Rux said as he removed kunai’s from their throats.
“Oi….what are you three doing ? I thought there were only-” two guardsfrom the east side noticed rux’s presence and came running towards him but as soon as they saw that their friends are already dead and a fountain of blood is coming out of their throats both of them pointed their spears at rux.
“Y-You…who are-”
“Spring Dance.” Rux said.
[Spring Dance] [A-Rank]
[A skill that releases a sweet aroma before attacking the enemy. As soon as the aroma enters the enemy’s nose it starts a series of reactions inside the Target’s body that triggers a feeling of safeness around them and as soon the enemy’s guard is down he or she can be killed easily without any resistance.]
[100 mana/ use.]
Suddenly the two of them felt a warmness around them and lowered the spear.
As soon as they did two kunais pierced through their throats and their bodies dropped dead on the ground.
*Thud*
*Thud*
“Ha…i am bored of killing.” Rux said as he took out his kunais from the dead man’s throat.
On the South-west area…
Two elite guards were standing in straight position not even talking to each other.
*Hrrrr*
Suddenly a sound came from the near by bush.
“What is that ?” One guard asked.
“Must be some animal…a cat or a snake.”
“Should i check it ?”
“Do whatever you want.”
The guard started moving towards the bush as soon as he looked behind the bush he noticed two bright lights coming towards his eyes.
Suddenly two daggers were plunged into his eyes that went all the way back to his brain and killed him in an instance.
Mike picked up a thick lig from the ground that breaked from a tree and placed it on the ground from one end and placed guard’s chest on the other end so that it looks like he is standing in front of the bush.
*Chck*
Mike pulled out his daggers from the soldier’s eyes.
The other soldier observed him looking at the bush for too long and spoke…
“Oi…come back yo your position or i will tell our employer that you are slacking off during your duty.”
No reply came back.
“Are you listening to me ? Oi, i am talking to you.” The guard shouted a bit this time.
Still no reply was heard.
“I am coming there and you will be Very sorry…when i come there.”
The guard started walking towards him.
“Oi, what-” as soon as he came near him and grabbed his shoulder from behind the dead guard’s body immediately fell down.
*Thud*
Before he could’ve said anything else or called for help two daggers appeared on both sides of his neck.
“Happy Birthday.” Mike said as he destroyed the man’s vocal cord with his dagger pair.
*Chck*
“Two gone, two left.” Mike said as he looked at the west side of the camp.
Mike walked towards the south side of the camp as he wiped his dagger pair.
As he noticed that one of the guard went to take a piss and only one guard is patrolling he used a skill.
[Shadow’s Path][S-Rank]
[Shadow’s path is a skill used for entering the scared and dark world of the shadows…once you enter inside you will have to take your steps carefully because those who fell in the shadow world never makes it back. With this skill a long distance can be travelled in a very short time using the shadow world’s route.]
[5000mana/use]
Mike’s body immediately disappeared into the shadows of the objects near him.
Suddenly he appeared behind the elite guard who was standing alone on the south.
Mike used another skill…
[Dagger’s Fury Strike][B-Rank]
[Your daggers are full of bloodlust, they will crave for blood until their wielder is dead. Your speed will be increased by 200% and your stabbing power will be increased by 500% for 5 seconds.]
[400mana/use]
[Note: Can be used once a day.]
Suddenly Mike’s body glowed red from the corners and his hands moved like a beast as his daggers made over 100 holes in the guard’s body under 3 seconds.
But…as he was killing him his partner returned.
“I am back partner- no you…SOMEBODY HEL-” as soon as he noticed that daggers are making holes in his friend’s body he thought of shouting but before he could’ve completed his sentence a dagger came flying at his head and pierced through his brain like a missile killing him on the spot.
“First objective completed.” Mike said as he started moving the corpse to one place and walking back to his meeting position with rux.
Rux was already sitting there when mike reached.
“Haha…i win as always.” Rux said with a smile.
“How many time have i told you, there is no win or loose in killing innocent people.” Mike said as he observed the camp.
“Then why do you kill them ?” Rux asked.
“Because i sweared my loyalty to a very very wrong man and for what ? A piece of bread.” Mike said as he grabbed his forehead.
“Hahaha…you stupid.” Rux said as he laughed his ass out.
“Haha…laugh all you want, you sweared your loyalty for two drops of blood.”
Suddenly rux stopped laughing and said.
“Let’s focus on work for now.”
