Chapter 61 daily life and the hunt in Malrton 4 (2/2)
the night was quiet, besides the noise that sometimes came form inns and pubs it was dead quiet on the street
'there here...'
Mars suddenly stopped and looked at Jean
”whatever you do, don't touch the blades”
Jean showed a confused expression but soon began to look around before she suddenly showed a hint off panic and grabbed Hanna's hand and tried to run away with her
”young lady this way, quickly!”
”what are you doing Jean?”
Hanna was confused but still sensed the unease Jean gave off and became slightly nervous and began took look around which made Mars give a sigh before he explained
”today's training is image training, basically i'm going to get you used too seeing blood”
”blood? what do you mean Mar---”
”young lady watch out!”
Jean suddenly pulled Hanna extra hard and freed her from Mars's grasp
*CLANG*
”eh...?”
Hanna looked back and saw a dagger was laying on the street where she had just been standing
”what is...?”
Hanna paled slightly while Mars drew his sword with a sigh
”it's too early to go pale...”
Jean suddenly flared up when she realized they were surround
”you asshole! if the young lady gets as much as a bruise I will carve you a new one!”
Mars gave a relaxed smile and looked out into the darkness while he raised his left hand with a light frown on his face while he circulated his mana
”let's see... it was like this?”
soon a ball off darkness appeared like it was condensed by pure darkness, it was the size of an apple and floated above his hand before he lightly grasped it in his hand as his ears peaked slightly and kneeled down and whispered something to Victoria
”okay...”
Victoria turned into a shadow and disappeared form where she stood
”well then, COME ON WE DON'T HAVE ALL NIGHT!”
as if provoked by Mars's yell figures clad in black cloths carrying daggers stepped out of the darkness, this time there was 12 in total and they all had cold eyes that carried thick killing intent when they looked at Mars
”I don't suppose you want to surrender?”
the assassins remained silent as they closed the encirclement and drew closer to the 3 people
”well didn't think so”
Mars brought up his sword and summoned 2 fire spears which hovered over his shoulders while a cape made off fire appeared behind his back as he kicked off the ground and momentarily disappeared from mortal eyes before he reappeared silently like a reaper outside off the encirclement and slashed the first assassin in half by the waist while the 2 fire spears pierced through the back off the head off another 2 assassins
”that's 3!”
the group off assassins was instantly spit up as the remaining 3 on Mars's side charged at him while the other 6 attacked Jean and Hanna where one off them had his neck cut off by Jeans swift dagger as her face and dress was splattered in blood
”young lady, just stay behind me!”
on the other side Mars was sitting on the drained husk of a assassin while the other was plastered on the wall held up with his darkness glue and struggling as Mars gave a yawn and watched the show as he yelled to Hanna
”Hanna, Jean isn't going to hold up if you drag her down”
Hanna shook slightly, she was clutching her staff so hard her hands had turned pale like her face before she pulled herself together slightly and yelled out to Mars
”i-i can't, Mars help!”
Mars gave a sigh but didn't stand up from his 'seat' as he watched Jean take down another assassin bringing the total she was facing down to 4
”young lady you can do it, I believe in you!”
”b-but!”
Mars gave another sigh
'looks like she frozen... sorry about this'
”then are you going to let them go?”
”n-no Mars you can take them down!”
”i'm not talking about them... are you going to let them go, the ones that did 'that' to you?”
”...no”
Mars gave a slight smile as some resistance finally showed on Hanna's face
”THEN FIGHT FOR FUCK SAKE!”
Hanna closed her eyes and a few seconds later small amount off electricity began to jump around in her hair in form off small bolts off lightning while the gem at the tip off her staff lit up sightly before she opened her eye and yelled
”chain lightning!”
*BANG*
with a thunderclap a lightning bolt shot out off her staff and hit a assassin and roasted him thoroughly before it shot out off him and hit another that suddenly gave off smoke and fell to the ground dead
”...well done”
Mars appeared behind the last 2 assassins and relieved them off their heads with a slash off his pure white bone sword
