Chapter 35 (1/2)

35.A DANCE PARTY FOR WILLIAN

Everyone present in the hall noticed the abnormality once the mist reached to the height of the knees. The mist was tasteless and odorless, and it probably wasn´t poison or something of the sort. The mist was simply… for concealment.

“What is this, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”

Gilberto asked Willian. Willian ignored him and started acting.

If one was to ask what he was intending to do, it would be that he was going to provide his a.s.sistance. If Willian was able to do well, this predicament would instead turn into good fortune for him.

“Karl, protect his Highness. Don´t let them pa.s.s through even if you are to die.”

In a few words, Karl also made his move. He didn´t understand the meaning behind those orders, but it was his obedience and honesty to move as he was commanded that had let him rise up to where he stood today. The undefeated Karl´s ten-man squad was made up by that mindset.

“Willian, what are you going to do?”

Willian answered with a smile to Karl´s question.

“I… will go hunting, you see.”

Willian took a tableware knife, doing one turn with it in his hand. The only one that had a sword here was Eahart, the prince. If it became that he had to use it, it would be checkmate at that time. There would be no future for the people of the military that were not able to protect the prince. However, if they are able to…. There wouldn´t be better reward than that.

The mist thickened. Screams of the n.o.ble ladies echoed through the hall by the time the mist was covering half the body. Including Karl, all the skilled warriors were protecting the prince and the n.o.blewomen. They were completely defended.

“”In that case, the target shouldn´t be the prince.””

In such situation, it was only Willian that didn´t focus on protecting the prince. There was n.o.body that would be so idiot as to aim for someone that was being so much protected. On the contrary, it was natural for one to think the target was someone else. But it wasn´t because of that that it would be fine to leave the prince on his own. However, with this rightful role being taken up by Karl, this part was settled up.

The mist completely covered the place. The line-of-sight was obstructed.

“”I need to cover for my bad impression from before for as much as I can.””

An evening suit and a knife. Willian wasn´t in a position where he could really attack someone. However, this was just enough…

To deal with them…

“They are coming! Don´t let even a single ant go through!”

“Ou!”

Even if the a.s.sa.s.sins were skillful…

“First.”

…Willian was far more outstanding.

Blood flew. To Willian, it would be the true dance party from now on.

Inside the mist, people couldn´t see. Only Willian was able to freely move around. Even for the people that could feel aura, they woulnd´t be able to move naturally like that. However, it was different for Willian. It was exactly because he was crooked if by military standards that he was capable in a more variety of things. The amount of knowledge he had compared to the people that would only train for the battlefield just wasn´t the same.

Willian´s five senses were sharpened to be much more keen than they were before. It wasn´t like he would simply became stronger by wrapping his aura around his body. His five sense became sharper, more profound and more extensive.

“Second.”

If your eyes can´t see, you can just listen with your ears.

The knife Willian held slit through the neck of an a.s.sa.s.sin in a straight movement. The instant this knife that would usually be used in a gentle, beautiful, nimble, and also casual manner was used by Willian, the knife was immediately turned into an excellent blade.

“Third, fourth.”

If your eyes can´t see, you can just smell with your nose.

Willian was dancing. n.o.body was watching him; his audience consisted only by the masked a.s.sa.s.sins in front of his eyes.

In such predicament, the ones that were the most perplexed were n.o.body else other than the a.s.sa.s.sins. Their plan had been perfectly arranged. There wasn´t supposed to be any obstacles in between their objective, and even if there was any, all the people there would be unarmed. The a.s.sa.s.sins were armed, and moreover, they were specially trained so that they could see even inside the mist. There was no way they would be in the disadvantage.

“Fifth!”

If the eyes can´t see, you can feel with your skin.

However, at the moment, a single monster dominated the place. Even if they were to face him, all it would happen was that the amount of corpses would increase. The a.s.sa.s.sins decided to change their plans.

“”So they scattered around… Who is their target?””

They changed their strategy and started to ignore Willian, taking the roundabout way so that they could kill their target. They were too late to react, but Willian´s existence was something too much outside of expectations. They had stolen away the most important sense out of the five senses. Who would have thought there would be someone that wouldn´t suffer from that.

“”For now, let´s go for the sixth!””

Willian threw his knife. It pierced through the temple of the a.s.sa.s.sin´s forehead just like as if it had been an arrow. Once again, another life was immediately reaped.

“”Four small fries remaining. My two preys… Ah, how unfortunate. They got too close to them.””

The one a.s.sa.s.sin that came too near to the prince became victim to Baldias´ mighty arm. Because of how strong he was, the a.s.sa.s.sin´s spine was broken. In the time the a.s.sa.s.sin was writhing in the ground, Baldias crushed him with his big foot. The other one was. .h.i.t at the chin Gilberto and lost his consciousness, soon to be a.s.saulted with kicks by Hilda, Anzerm and Gregour, having his life pulverized.

““They can really do well. So the little young masters weren´t just talk?””

As Willian was thinking that, he took the life of his seventh victim. Not picking up the knife he threw, he used another knife from the many knives that were on the table, and pa.s.sing by the side of the a.s.sa.s.sin at close range, Willian pierced the knife through the back of the a.s.sa.s.sin´s head.

“”One remaining!””

However, the last person was clearly different from the other ones.

“”That´s some really good moves, hey.””

It was swift, and also flexible. Moreover, differently from the other nine a.s.sa.s.sins that would move like dolls for the sake of completing their mission, intelligence could be felt from his moves.

“”He is avoiding me…  He is not going towards the prince. Where is he going to? Who is the target!?””

The a.s.sa.s.sin was moving in a way Willian couldn´t guess the target. He erased his presence inside the crowd of people like a thief; his movement was without faults.
