Chapter 367 assassination

The blue humanoid thrust his bladed hand doith the practiced ease of so lives, a thousand plus times over His movements ordless, soundless, efficient The very texture of his skin was altered so that even the faintest breeze would not draw a noise His feet had glided across theany footsteps fro out

He was a trained assassin called Blueshi+ft, quite competent in his job as he could easily shi+ft into objects that were blue, though he only mimicked physical dimensions, not any special properties

But he was not the only trained assassin in the confines of that jet

The humanoid's face, like its body, was si indents for the eyes and theit hard to read any expression on it, but even then, his surprise was palpable, evidenced by the faint ihtly wider

Before the hand-blade sunk into Aarav's neck, it was stopped Not by so by the pressure, it cahtly around his wrist A chillingly cold hand that seeht from his veins

This was bad Terribly bad

Blueshi+ft had not expected Aarav to be with anyone here Aarav's trip to Haven was supposed to have been rade for that exact reason And whenever Aarav went on secretive trips, he always tended to go alone or with just one or two of his uards were around And even if they were, Transposition and Sugar, Aarav's two usual guards, did not have any invisibility to speak of

That had given Blueshi+ft the confidence to sneak into the jet, replace Aarav's coat, and wait to kill hi here over twenty four hours for this exact ht, impossible to fail He had snuck in fro as a Haven bound nomad's wallet so as to prevent Thanatos's forces fro him out

So how?

No, the how did not ot out

Or-

Blueshi+ft briefly glanced at Aarav Aarav was still staring at his screen, oblivious to Blueshi+ft It would take a fraction of a second more for him to notice

A fraction of a second to take hiain, before the owner of this hand responded

Blueshi+ft was not the fastest or strongest Alter out there, but his AC count was still comparable with lower end A rankers in the AA Still superhuman

He had little ti it back and thrusting it forwards, but -

Blueshi+ft's forward arm, the one mere inches away already froain, the blade tip rippling as he willed a spike to grow out and breach the sap left between his hand and Aarav's defenseless brain

"AHHH!" Blueshi+ft stu heavy as he put a hand to the stuht arm

Red blood sputtered out fro with dull i Reactively, he shi+fted his ar it shut so that he would not look his lifeblood and to dull the pain by nu into shock

"I' out a breath of smoke He leaned down and pressed a button under his seat "Especially uninvited ones They don't call "

The innards of the jet flashed blue Blueshi+ft's breath caught in his throat as an electrical charge rocked through hiain

"But, in a way, I guess you're not uninvited if I didn't expect you Isn't that right, Blueshi+ft?" Aarav stood up, straightened his tie, adjusted his shades, and turned around He walked straight up to Blueshi+ft, looking down at the assassin as electricity crackled in waves through his body

"No response? No, a good electric shock would make anyone a little shy with their words In your case, it also handily prevent you froo ahead and let you catch your breath" Aarav took another drag froarette before he snuffed it out on Blueshi+ft's bald blue head

The cigarette hissed as it burned out, scattering ashes down Blueshi+ft's head and face

"H-how…?" ed out Blueshi+ft

"Oh, you can talk already? Perks of having a high AC count, I guess I'm quite jealous My friend here…," Aarav looked around but could not find who he was looking for

A visible hand settled on his shoulder Though clad in dark green h to notice that the hand was shed, barelyhis cool at the sudden surprise touch "Do you always have to show up like that?"
