”Little shi+ts, your er in his hand, glaring at the two scrawny youngsters

Although he had h intellect as a human In a few seconds of observation, he had iicians posed

He knew that as long as he slew the twin ood as dead

However, he found it slightly weird that there would be tithin the icians to boot The probability of so was minuscule

'What a

Watching Witt as already 10towards Witt The fight had begun

A nor techniques, evenly distributed power along the body, explosive h speed If these criteria were met, the opponent would find it difficult to avoid unless he second-guessed your movements

However, the dee!

As the shi+eld neared his body, he deftly sidestepped it Hank's charge met empty air

”Close, but no cigar!” Witt jeered His body spun, and with the speed of a demon, he appeared at Hank's side His blade snaked around Hank's shi+eld like a viper, stabbing at Hank's neck

The speed of his dagger was too fast Hank was unable to dodge it!

If it were just Hank facing off against the dee This was the extent of the demonised Witt's power However, Hank was not alone

As the dagger closed in on Hank's throat, Witt sensed a bright flash of light in his peripheral vision out of the corner of his eye A dier

'What the-' Witt blinked The ball of light exploded

”Bang!” Witt felt his hand groarer Although the poas not strong, it was extreer halted

It was Link He had discharged a 'glass pearl' to help Hank survive the exchange

Hank reacted almost instantly

It was no ti the oversized shi+eld in his right hand towards Witt Like an enormous iron palm, the shi+eld heaved towards Witt This powerful strike of Hank's carried with it countless years of experience and practice It was to help cover up Hank's e

If Hank were not buffed, demonised Witt would have easily avoided this strike with his speed However, Hank was buffed by the 'feline boost' spell Although his speed was a far reatly exceeded an ordinary warrior's speed

Hank's shi+eld burst towards the surprised deh speed

”Crash!+” A heavy thud rang out

”It hit!” Hank grinned, but his grin disappeared as he felt so ”The shi+eld-the shi+eld stopped?”

Till date, no opponent had been unaffected after getting hit by this strike They would be sent reeling backwards in a daze from the power of it

However, he was ht as he peered over his shi+eld Witt had extended a hand to block the strike head on A hand!

He had also gli at Witt’s head However, although the h to kill ordinary bandits, it did not even leave marks on Witt Witt took the hits expressionlessly

Witt hadhis eyes as the explosions passed, not a single wound could be seen on Witt

Of course, these ic attacks were not useless They helped to lessen Witt’shim to halt his attack on Hank

‘Such power! And that ic resistance!’ Hank sed hard, but he also breathed a slight sigh of relief at the sah Witt had blocked his shi+eld bash, his arely by the repelled force when Witt caught his blow This had proved Link’s words: Witt did not have an overwhelth over Hank

“I can block hiht hand He swung the warhammer towards Witt’s skull

The archer Greedin’s spirits rose upon seeing Hank being able to block Witt He drew and released a whistling arroards Witt’s brain as Lucy charged towards Witt

As she sprinted forward, Link’s words echoed by her ear: “Don’t aiht Move your sword quickly, and break his skin!”

The skin of Witt as de Link’s attacks virtually useless However, the high ic resistance was only due to his skin, as all life was made out of elements,1think of elements as atoms or life would not even exist Witt’s insides would not possess lass pearls’ would be able to deal substantial dae to Witt

“Roger!” Lucy grunted Under the effect of ‘feline boost’, she seeh speed

In an instant, Witt had simultaneously received Hank’s warhaic and Lucy’s sword

Before his demonisation, he was a level 3 assassin After demonisation, he was only equivalent to a level 4 If with two hands, it would be difficult for him to fend off four attacks, then what about the coordinated attacks of four people?

Al pressure froash opened on his aruard This wretched wo sharp, and his skin was unable to withstand her strike

“fuck!” Witt swore, the blackaround his wounded arlinted as it shot like lightning towards Lucy before she could pull back

Dery strike of his was even faster His arm seemed to blur

A level 2 soman like Lucy was unable to avoid it

Lucy had stuck to Link’s words, and retreated almost at the same time she attacked However, her speed was too slow, and she was unable to deal with the attack Her heart thumped wildly as the skin on her bosohting which told her the dagger was headed for her heart

“Is this the end for me?”

Everything seemed to slow to a crawl as Lucy’s life flashed before her eyes Fro into a beautiful lady And then her drunkard father selling her to a noble as a castle hts in the castle, learning fencing beforefemale mercenary shortly after

In her mercenary career, she had hit it off with Hank and Greedin, and forreed to focus on diligently earning money

She had struggled to clied to soar like a bird in the skies But now, it seemed like those were just her illusions

She stared at the dagger, watching the sinister black shi+ne of it close onto her chest as it sought to snatch away her life

So this was her life
