Chapter 120
Drop after drop of blood fell to ground from my sword .
Looking at the remaining four assassins, I let out a soft chuckle .
"One less, four remaining . "
"Bastard!" The other eight-layer assassin cried in rage and charged towards me . But before he could touch me, the tenth-layer assassin shouted .
"Number Four, follow the plan! Number Two, Number Three, help him! I'll avenge our brother!"
The assassin called Number Four instantly stopped and shot me a hatred-filled gaze . He then turned around and once more charged towards the girls, this time accompanied by another two assassins .
With their high cultivations, the assassins needed less than one second to reach the girls .
I raised an eyebrow in surprise . It looks like I'm not the only target of this attack .
However, they were dreaming if they thought they could kill someone under my watch .
Without looking at the three assassins, I released three sword thrusts . For an instant, distance seemed to lose its meaning, and the twenty meters between us were compressed into nothing .
The assassins were unable to react to my attack . Under their astonished gazes, my sword attacks broke through their defenses and penetrated their skins .
But at that moment–
*Clank!*
A blade appeared .
Using a similar method, the tenth-layer assassin sent his blade through space and blocked my attacks .
At the same time, another blade suddenly appeared behind my back . The mana-infused blade cut through the air at frightening speed, arriving before me almost instantly .
"Space laws?" I was slightly surprised, but it was not enough to stump me . With a relaxed step, my body seemed to melt into space as I evaded the sudden ambush .
Then, the three sword strikes from before fused into one . The tenth-layer assassin, that had stopped my last attack, felt a powerful strength impacting his blade . Then, the new sword strike cut through the blade and appeared before the assassins once more .
The process was almost instantaneous . Before the three assassins could rejoice for having survived the last attack, a new and more powerful sword strike was before them .
And this time, nobody could save them .
*Spurt!*
The sword strike cut through the three assassins' necks simultaneously . The next second, blood rained inside the cave, painting the dark walls with a blood-red color .
Fortunately, Louise had erected a barrier beforehand, so none of the blood fell on the girls .
"Brothers!" A cry full of pain resounded in the cave . The last assassin looked at the scene of his dead companions and cried tears of blood .
His friends, his brothers, the people that he considered his family . All of them were dead .
All killed by me .
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!" His grieving voice silenced all the other sounds . He looked at me with so much fury that his eyes turned red, and then, he attacked .
"Die!!!!!!" Without warning, tens of blades appeared in the air and flew towards me . The pitch-black blades seemed to fuse with the darkness of the cave, becoming almost completely undetectable .
But it was useless . With a twist of my wrist, my sword fused into space and appeared in tens of places at the same time, blocking each blade perfectly .
It did not stop there, however . The sword also appeared in front of the last assassin, piercing towards his heart .
But this assassin was much stronger than the others .
When my sword was about to kill him, he disappeared . Instantly, he reappeared behind me with a blade in each hand .
His eyes had turned cold, and his expression of rage had turned into one of calm with just a tint of hatred . It was obvious that his reaction to the other assassins' deaths was just an act to lower my guard .
But such tricks were useless against me .
Without bothering to turn around, I moved my sword towards my back and stopped the attacks casually .
Then, I looked into the assassin's eyes and smiled .
Without warning, my hand appeared in front of him . The assassin was unable to do anything but see how his face was caught in a powerful grip .
The blood drained from his face . Feeling his impending death, he desperately activated his space laws, teleporting away an instant before his head was crushed into a paste .
He then reappeared away and looked at me with a look of fear .
I looked at the tenth-layer assassins and curved my lips up . "A user of space laws . How rare . "
The assassin did his best to put on a calm look, but his pale face betrayed him . He gulped down a mouthful of saliva and exhaled . "… Same here . It's the first time I see another non-mage that can manipulate space . Who would have expected that Prince Claus was keeping such an ability hidden? And your cultivation is obviously above the fourth layer…"
"Surprised? It's not easy to kill me huh . . . " I chuckled . At the same time, I made sure that the girls could not hear our conversation .
Although I'm pretty much sure that they already realized that my strength is not so simple as the fourth layer . I'll have to do something about that later .
The assassin nodded wtih a grave expression . "It looks like today's mission is a failure . Prince, you win this time, but your strength is no longer a secret . Next time, I'll make sure of taking your head . "
