“So you going all in for the main target or you going to scout and kill the main target ?” Rux asked.
“Where is the box ?” Mike asked as he looked at rux.
“No idea…it has to be near him since he is ordered to deliver it even with his life.”
“Even with his life huh…? Let’s see if that is true or not.” Mike said as he swinged his daggers in a manner that all the blood on them immediately wiped away by the high pressure of wind, that was produced when mike swinged them.
“Let’s go ” mike said as he immediately vanished into shadows.
Mike immediately appeared near the main tent of the camp and sneaked inside slowly while rux scouted the camp for him.
As soon as Mike entered inside the camp he noticed a familiar smell coming from it.
“Humming Straw’s aroma.” Mike said in a low tone.
Humming Straw is a type of flower that is used to make perfume for noble women and it’s smell is very rare at a place like this.
But a noble woman at a place like this.
Mike immediately understood that something is wrong with this tent.
As soon as he realised that, he started taking his steps back to the exit of the tent.
“Huhuhu… Don’t leave yet mr.assassin. Won’t you complete the task that’s assigned to you ?” Suddenly the tent was filled with bloodlust.
Mike immediately pulled his daggers out even though he knew that he won’t win against this enemy.
His legs started shaking but suddenly he used another skill….
[Calmed Concentration] [D-Rank]
[With this skill, a warm nature’s blessing will cover your body and all the bloodlust Directed at you will be deflected making your mind work two times faster than before.]
[100mana/minute]
“Who are you ?” Mike asked.
“I can be your death but first i have go find out what house sent you.” The man answered as he revealed himself from the blanket.
Black hair, black eyes, fair and handsome face. His six pack abs shined under the moonlight as he stepped out of the bed.
“Looking at your eyes, you are a blood assassin not a newbie someone trusted to be sent on a mission like this and from your standing position and that martial artist’s defensive elbow style tells me one thing that your age is around 27 to 30 years because you don’t know anything about martial arts but still-”
“Shut up bitch.” Mike said as he immediately jumped at the man with his dagger pair.
“Still so amature….i was hoping something better. Invulnerable Body.” The man said as he used a skill.
[Invulnerable Body]
[Turns your Body into a solid form of invincibility. You may not be able to walk away from your position but every attack launched at you will deal zero damage in a time span of 3 seconds.]
[1000mana/use.]
[Daily use 1/3]
Mike noticed that the man wasn’t taking any defensive stance and Letting his body open to his attack.
Thinking that his reaction speed is low mike increased his speed using another skill…
[Haste of the Darkness][B-Rank]
[Those who wander in the darkness, travels with haste. Increases your attack speed by 90% while reducing your defence by 50% for 5 seconds.]
[3000 mana/use]
“Die you bastard.” Mike said as his speed increased by leaps and bounds.
He immediately aimed for the man’s collar bone to stab.
*Clang*
*Ting*
But as soon as mike’s daggers touched that man’s skin they broke down into several pieces as if he just striked at a diamond with a plastic toy.
Watching this mike immediately backed off from the man’s attack range and holded his previous position again.
“Are you finished?” The man asked.
This fucker…he used a fucking defensive skill before i even attacked.
Seeing that it was his turn to engage mike immediately casted his best defensive skill on himself.
[Guardian Of the Shadow][A-Rank]
[If you give yourself to the shadows the shadows will protect you too. Creates a shield in front you that can absorb upto 10000 damage at once for 10 seconds, if the shield doesn’t break in 3 seconds your movement speed will be increased by 35%.]
[5000 mana/use]
[Cooldown: 1minute 30 seconds]
Suddenly the shadows on the ground started moving and a big shield of pitch black matter was formed in front of mike.
“Well well…. let’s see if this can save you.”
The man made a normal punch and striked at the guardian wall of shadows.
6000 damage received.
As soon as the punch hitted the wall an enormous damage number was reflected at the top of the wall.
“What the ?”
‘This man….is he even human ?’ mike thought as he prayed for the skill to last for two more seconds so he can escape with a 35% agility boost.
But that man didn’t appeared to stop as he made another punch and striked the shield.
7000 damage received….shield is broken.
As soon as the shadow fragments went back to the ground mike felt like a trapped bird inside that tent.
It’s like the man in front of him had no weaknesses at all. He was a total monster.
At this point mike immediately aborted this mission and started escaping.
“Shadow’s path…”
As mike’s body started to disappear a hand immediately grabbed his throat.
“Where are you going…? I am not done playing yet.” The man said as he cancelled mike’s one and only escaping skill.
“Null Area.” The man said as the tent shined with a blue light.
[Null Area][B-Rank]
[No Magic or magical spells works inside this area. Can only be used at a target that is weaker than you.]
[1000 mana/5 meter radius around you.]
“Now, what do you plan to do huh..?” The man asked.
Mike immediately unsheathed a dagger from his left leg and furiously moved it towards his own neck.
As he was trained as a blood assassin….he was taught to immediately kill himself when captured by a stronger enemy.
But before the dagger can even reach near mike’s neck it shattered into a million pieces.
When mike looked at the dagger he tried to understand what just happened.
At this moment when mike tried to kill himself with the dagger that man moved his hand so fast that was almost invisible to naked eyes and flicked his finger at the dagger resulting in it’s destruction.
Mike understood it after a moment.
“Don’t try…you shall live for the king.” The man said as he tied mike up with a thick rope and left him inside the null area so he couldn’t use any of his magic skills.
The man left the tent for a moment and came back in with rux’s body hanging in one of his big hands.
“Ruxxxxxxx….” Mike shouted.
“Hey, shut up or he will wake up.”
“You bastard, what did you do to my friend ?” Mike asked.
“Ah, i haven’t done anything until now but…*crack* *puch*” the man siad as he smashed rux’s skull and made a mess out of his brain.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOO….YOU FUCKIIIIING SICKKKK BASTARD.” Mike shouted loudly as he saw his friend’s head being popped up like a peanut shell.
“Oh, was he your friend…you should’ve told me that before…well once done…it can’t be reversed back….hahaha.” The man said as he laughed like a lunatic.
Suddenly he closed his distance towards mike’s face and spoke.
“Tell me…who sent you..?”
*Thoo*
Mike spitted on his face.
“Hohoho….still that attitude huh….?”
“FUCK-OFF, YOU SICK FUCK.” Mike said as his eyes shined red in bloodlust.
“Well…since you are not going to tell me the easy way. I will have to try something else.” That man said as he smiled towards mike with a crazy smile.
“I will not tell you shit, do whatever you want, torture me or kill me.”
“Kill huh..? Death is not a cheap thing man. Not everyone gets it. I will make you beg for death but i will not give you death until you tell me your family’s name…that sent you. My name is Marco… remember it because this name will haunt you for the rest of your life.”
Mike didn’t replied, but he didn’t knew what was going to happen to him from now on.
Mike was tortured for 4 days straight…
*Splash*
“Oi wake up. It’s time for you eat your food.” A man said as he splashed a bucket of water on mike’s face and slipped in a bread at him that was covered with a thick layer of fungus and dust.
In the morning this was given to him as food….after this he was beated to death like a training dummy.
His hands are binded with iron shackles that are engraved with mana devouring spell.
No matter what spell he uses his mana was never enough to initiate it, as his mana was stuck on 1 and the mana recovery has stopped due to the shackles.
His lips are dried to death but instead of water he was offered with piss of the camp soldiers.
“Alisa, Jenna…..”
