Chapter 18 - Assassins (III) (1/2)

Each of the assassins was at least 3rd class warriors and others 4th class warriors, yet they were all freaked out and scattered in different directions when they saw the devilish smile on Shad's face as though he was like a beast looking at its preys.

they all scattered faster than metal balls of an exploding claymore mine as they ran away from shad.

” You've already seen something that you shouldn't, I think it's time to take it to your grave.”

As he was saying that, Lightning shone in front of his body. At the same time, five lightning spears emerged.

Each of them was at least two to three meters long. whether it was the shafts of the pointy heads, they were all made with pure white bolts of lightning. So one can imagine the amount of lightning shad had consumed to make them.

the hot sparks coming from them was proof that they had the power to melt Iron and destroyed or incinerated everything in their wakes.

Nevertheless, Shad was not satisfied with them. he was able to create this amount before becoming a 4th class mage.

'More' he thought.

Chi~~Chi~~~chi~~~

The lightning bolts around his body continued to multiply and glowed brighter.

A colossal amount of energy gathered around him as the number of Lightning spears continued to increase. in less than two seconds, there were in increased of two more lightning spears making it seven. they were all hovering around him with Shad in the center.

If the running assassins were to look back, they would have been able to see that each of the lightning spears was pointing at each of their directions. however, they did not dare, all the care about was to run away as far as they could from that freak and each seconds count.

Still, it was a wise decision. Shad's spiritual force was as strong as a peak 5th class mage, maybe even more powerful. he was able to cover a good five hundred meters with it. so as long the assassins were still within that range, they were still in grave danger.

Swishhhhhhh~~~~~~~~~~~~~`~

the seven lightning spears that became almost like plasma cried out as they flew towards each of their targets like wire-guided missiles.

The lights coming from them blew away the darkness of the night like a meteor shower and with a speed that was almost fast enough to break through the sound barrier.

From launching it, it took less than a second to hit their targets. it defied their defenses and killed them brutally.

they let out a pained scream as the lightning spears pierced through their bodies. Even the 4th class warriors couldn't overcome the lightning spears with their battle qi and the pain eroding their nervous system.

all they could do was to let out a deathly scream and collapsed on the ground. there was no way for their recovery ability to help them, and they quickly turned into charcoals.

all of them died on the spot except for one, the leader of the assassins. when the lightning spears hit him, it blew away a portion of his clothing before it scattered in the air revealing some sort of black armor underneath his clothing.

Being hit by that attack, the leader of the assassins only fell down but got up quickly and kept on running without looking back. he had already figured out that Shad had used some sort of long-range attack as they were making their escape.

Furthermore, he had already known some his subordinates have died from that attack as well as he was able to hear their deathly screams. nonetheless, he did not care about that or stay and take revenge for them. there was only one thing on his mind, that is getting as far away as possible from this damn place.

while he was running for his life, he couldn't help but cursed at the person putting that mission in the Chronos assassin guild without any accurate information about the power of the target. the person only said that he was just a new ascended senior mage that used lightning element but that bastard did not put that the target was able to freely manipulate lightning without the use of magic spell as a medium.

As an assassin, they usually make ample preparation before a mission. For example, knowing the target's identity, strength, habits, weaknesses, and so on and forth.

By knowing their enemy, they will emerge victorious one hundred times in hundred battles. for them, it was meaningless to sacrifice themselves to complete a mission.

For them, being an assassin isn't generally being a tool for murder. it is a way of cultivation just like a swordsman or a mage. it is not only about killing the target regardless of the price.

the most important aspect of being a true assassin was whether they were able to carry out the overall strategy or complete a mission while evaluating whether it is worth doing.
