Chapter 83: Novice Assassins (1/2)
”Where did you think you're going? You're staying with me!”
The black lightning becomes more intense around Rex's body, he looks at Miru coldly, ”Flash!!”
SWOOSH!!
Rex's body disappeared from the spot leaving sparks of black lightning,
He uses his newly acquired skill from the system that he just learned, it is a utility skill that increased his speed briefly.
In a blink of an eye, he turns into sparks of black lightning.
Then suddenly, he appeared beside Miru just a couple of inches from grabbing her neck.
One has to know that Miru is a speed specialist based on her high agility stats, although she is hurt, she's still a fast Elementalist.
'Eh?”, she looks to her back and saw Rex right behind her back.
Miru widened her eyes in surprise, she didn't expect Rex can be this fast based on the fight they had before where Rex barely catch up to her.
Without giving her another chance to run, Rex grabbed her neck and slammed her down back to the warehouse.
Kiru on the side was also shocked, 'When did he catch up to us?'
BOOM!
Miru slammed to the ground making a huge web-like crack, ”Argh!!”, she grunted in pain, blood gushed out of her mouth like a fountain.
Rex knew based on Miru's stats that she is a glass cannon who can't take hits, getting slammed two times was her limit.
He then landed beside Miru who is lying helplessly on the ground, he stomped his feet on Miru's neck pinning her down on the ground.
Miru struggles to move Rex's feet to no avail, her bones are broken in numerous parts of her body and Rex's strength is way above her league.
Looking at this, Kiru stopped with his eyes bulged crazily. He then dashes back to the warehouse fuming with anger, ”LET HER GO!!”, he shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Rex only chuckles slowly, ”Or what?”, he put more force on his stomp making Miru cough blood.
”STOP!!”, Kiru panicked, he looks at Miru with sorry eyes before raising his gaze to meet Rex, ”What do you want?”
”What do I want? You're asking me that?”, Rex laughs.
The white ninjas attack him out of nowhere, and how can he let them go just like that after threatening his and the girls' lives.
His eyes then turned cold abruptly, ”Who sent you?”
Kiru gritted his teeth desperately, his assassin side won't let him say it but looking at Miru's condition makes him struggle internally.
Rex studied Kiru's expression and said, ”What are you doing? You're an assassin, this is the time where you leave and report to your client”, he then grins while pressing his feet on Miru's neck, ”Oh, I know! Is it because this girl is your sister?”
Rex noticed that Kiru and Miru look similar, they are also different from the assassins he knows.
He once met a group of assassins called the Crimson Smile, they are a group of specially trained Assassins during his time in the military. they hardly show any emotion or even socialize, and they are decisive enough to leave their caught comrade unlike Kevin in front of him.
It's a bit extreme but it's how they supposed to be, any information about their client cannot be leaked because it is taboo for an assassin.
Based on his perspective, these duo assassins are probably forced to be an assassin.
Hera is watching this from Rex's back, she sucked in a cold breath, 'So that's why my instincts told me to avoid him, he's a cold-blooded monster himself'.
Her back is drenched in a cold sweat,
Looking at Rex changes her view of him, she can't see Rex as her student anymore.
Even imagining Rex win against Kevin is not an impossible task anymore, rather, she will not be surprised if Rex totally wins one-sidedly.
Adhara and Rosie on the other side are already used to this, they have seen Rex becomes this cold multiple times.
He becomes like this whenever any of their lives were threatened.
Rex's ears perked up, he hears something coming their way, ”Surrender now, If not I will kill your poor little sister. Time's limited, make your decision now”
Kiru is still internally struggling, but seeing Miru's bloodied eyes and painful wail makes him finally let go of his katana.
Clang!
Looking at this, Rex's smile becomes even wider.
He signals Hera to take the guy's weapon and restrain him, he wanted to interrogate them later.
Rex can hear the FAA approaching the warehouse because of the explosion from before, he doesn't want them to capture Miru and Kiru for personal purposes so he decided to hide them.
He opened the system and search for restrain items, he bought two items that are Aura Lock and level four Seal Chain.
Aura lock is an item that can hide an Awakened aura for a day while a level four Seal Chain is a chain that can seal the power of a rank four Awakened or below for a day.
His heart is bleeding because of the costs of these items especially the level four Seal Chain, he sighs, 'This'll do', Rex thought, he then put the item he bought to Miru and Kiru.
The Seal Chain is just like a normal chain but has a weird aura surrounding it, it becomes invisible after it is used on Miru and Kiru. The Aura Lock on the other hand is a tattoo etched on the target's body, it is a black skull-shaped tattoo.
Kiru didn't struggle because Miru is still under Rex's feet, he obediently let Rex do his thing.
He felt his body loses all power, for years of being an Awakened this is his first time feeling like a normal person again, 'What is this?', he thought looking at the invisible chain wrapped on his body.
After restraining Kiru, he then lifts his feet before started restraining Miru.
Miru is in very bad shape, her voice is hoarse and she can't even get up properly alone.
She can only look at Kiru with a sorry expression, she probably felt guilty because of her getting caught.
After putting it on Miru and Kiru, Adhara approached Rex and said, ”Rex, the FAA is coming”
”I know, help me hide them”, Rex replied after restraining both Miru and Kiru.
Looking at this, Hera was confused, ”Why do you intend on hiding them?
”Ms. Hera, there must be people after our back so I need to know who. Relying on the FAA will only put me in the dark, so I will be the one doing the interrogating”, he said nonchalantly.
Hera nodded her head, she then asks, ”Okay...but how did you know the FAA is coming? I don't hear anything”
Rex and Adhara were stunned and didn't answer, they were thinking how to answer, ”You didn't hear it? I hear it too”, Rosie intervenes with a smile.
