48 Assassins vs Bao Zhang 5 (1/2)

”Leader, we are arriving!”

”Well, get ready to attack as soon as we arrive there!”

The Leader of the six Assassins ran swiftly, while sometimes jumped and propelled himself with the trunks of the trees to increase his speed, while following him closely were the Brothers Fifth and Second.

The three Assassins were ready to attack as soon as they meet Bao Zhang.

But they were not prepared for what they would find...

Crossing several trees, the three arrived at the place of the battle, but the fight seemed to have ended.

”Where are they?”

”And the Brothers Sixth and Third? Nor do I see the fourth brother”

The Leader took a strong step forward and walked slowly forward while inspecting the place.

As he moved farther forward, he frowned more.

Then, he stopped in front of a body half buried in the mud.

The brothers Fifth and Second followed the Leader, but when they saw that he stopped and watched with open eyes and lips trembling towards something ahead.

They two peeked and...

”Sixth brother!” They shouted in unison as they lunged forward, taking out the mangled body of their sixth brother from the mud.

But the body of their sixth brother was already pale and lifeless, with his eyes still open.

The brothers Fifth and Second could not help but pale at the pain of the loss of their sixth brother.

The Six Assassins had grown up together in orphanages and considered each other as true brothers. As they grew up and left the orphanage they lived their lives as Assassins performing dangerous assignments and helping each other out among them six.

They knew that being Assassins, the day would come when they would make a mistake in the work that would cause the death of one of the six, but they did not wait, or rather, they were not prepared for that day to be today.

The Leader remained motionless while seeing the body of his sixth brother without life, could not stop thinking about the last request that his sixth brother had made him;

'Leader, I do not think it's a good idea to we separate'

That was what his sixth brother had said, but he had not taken it into account, and now it has resulted in this.

His fists clenched fiercely causing his hands to bleed, his eyes turned blood red with anger, while his body could not stop shaking, anger, lament, and the madness began to emerge from his soul;

(If only he had followed what the sixth brother advised, if only he had killed that bastard! Shit! Shit!!)

”Shit!! Damn you, bastard! Do not think you can escape after killing one of my brothers!!!”

The Leader's howl of fury was heard throughout the forest, while from it came an incredible pressure from someone in the 'Elemental Realm'.
