Chapter 60 (2/2)

Ander frowned, willing his subordinates to stand up and counterattack Then he spotted the ician was standing behind the undergrowth by the bank of the whitebait river The ician’s only cover was a burly warrior and an archer Even if half of his assassins had died, they would be able to capture theas ten assassins attacked them

After capturing alive ca as it sounded, took pride in his torturing skills He believed that under his torturing skills, he would be able to pry inforhtest lips

But reality did not equal expectations One second, two seconds, three seconds… the eerie silence hung in the air Ander’s heart began to sink

Other than a few bloodcurdling screale assassin appeared to attack the screams had quickly died down The wooden boards the assassins had used to evade thearcher had taken down any reic with his cursed bow and arrows

Another five seconds, and the 22 elite nightblade assassins had been wiped out Without a single survivor It was so easy, so anti-climatic that it felt impossible

All colour drained from Ander’s face He turned slowly towards the two assistants beside hi Ander’s stare A deathly silence hung in the air as all three of them shi+vered uncontrollably

Ander watched the distant survivors of the elite nightblade assassins They were retreating

“What the hell was that? What aped This surpassed his understanding of reatly

He turned his head again as a black figure appeared by Lucy’s side The figure raised its hand Darts shot out and severed the rope securing Lucy to the tree The figure caught Lucy as she fell Carrying Lucy, the figure quietly disappeared

Ander’s pupils constricted as he calculated the speed of the escaping figure “A level 3 assassin?! When was there a level 3 assassin?”

He had done his homework on them The meathead with the shi+eld was of level 3 occupation, and the rest were your coician, he hadn’t even enrolled in eastern valley ic academy due to lack of qualifications

How strong could a ic acadeet? Sure, they had exterminated the dark brotherhood, but the dark brotherhood was a puny organisation in Ander’s eyes And what sorcery had that ician worked, to this effect?

Back in the silence valley, the cloaked ician had assured hiic used The highest levelled ic casted had been level 1

A e that infor He had been gravely

“Senior, what do we do?” His assistant beside him whispered

A sheen of sweat could be seen on Ander’s forehead He glanced at the ician turned to stare at him, as if he knew Ander was there9 Ander’s pulse raced

“Retreat! Retreat! We’re beating the shi+t out of here! I won’t have anything to do with this!”

They were only a group of robbers, a bunch of substitutes that extorted uy — the syndicate Now that his life could not even be guaranteed, who the fuck was there to substitute?

Ander decisively led the survivors of the nightblade elites out of the whitebait river

His speed was uncanny With the knowledge of the familiar terrain of the red leaf valley, he quickly escaped from the whitebait river

However, when he turned a corner in the valley, he found hiician cloaked in black who kept hieneral headquarters

“Why are you here?” Ander asked breathlessly

The cloaked ician’s hoarse voice croaked out, “I’ician”

“You want to go against that?” Ander said, the expression on his face twisted into a ician had been too ‘weak’ for the cloaked ician to dispose of

“This ician gently fingered his ic as purely crafted froic geht blue glow of ic

“But of course, he’s strong We need a plan” The cloaked ician added

…………

Link told Annie, “Take everyone and go back first I’ll pursue them!”

If he didn’t slay that cruel and demented viper, his heart would not be at peace

As he spoke, a notification flashed in his vision

Could it be any better? Even the syste them out Now, he had even less reason to abandon the plan halfway

Annie was somewhat uneasy, but she soon realised that it was pointless to try to dissuade Link Just like in Glaston city…

Annie sighed “Alright But take care Remember to leave behind tracks for Anderson and the military They’ll quickly come to your aid”

“Got it” Link nodded his head

He turned to gaze at Lucy This unyielding woman was still conscious, even at this moment Lucy stared back at hiiven in Even now, she had not even let out a cry of pain Now that her master and comrades were here, she started to soften like a lost childher parents Her eyes brimmed with tears

Gazing at the welts on her body, Link felt the guilt hit him He raised his wand “Elemental remedy!”

A soothing light enveloped Lucy’s body as it replenished the consu, Link turned to Hank “Go, let’s kill those thieves!”
