153 Solutus (2/2)

He was far above the assassins on the level of Reap or Kou, who mostly relied on their unique abilities. It wouldn't even be far off to say that this person could give Broly a run for his money. Broly also speculated who this person was, the number one assassin.

There were some rumors that had told of his might. It was said that he could slay any person from light years away without causing a single disturbance. Of course, Broly knew that legends and myths would be exaggerated with time, so previously he wasn't too concerned about this number one assassin.

Even if those myths weren't exaggerated, if he put his mind to it, he could do feats that would overshadow those. But still now he needed had to reevaluate this assassin, especially because of his weapon. The sword of his, Broly couldn't sense it.

It looked like there wasn't anything in that assassins' hands, like he was grabbing the air. Broly was only able to see it with his eyes, but otherwise it would be a blind spot for him.

Broly studied the assassin in front of him. A tall strong body, short red hair and red eyes with a gaze that seemed to pierce through anything. Pale skin with a lot of scars on his upper body.

He didn't wear anything except for black pants. Even his feet were covered in scars. He looked more like a warrior than an assassin, even his posture and his aura was that of a warrior not of someone that attacked out of the shadows.

Even if he attacked him without warning just a moment ago, for Broly it felt more like a welcoming. Besides he even attacked from the front, which was also reason why Broly was able to evade the attack.

Although he couldn't sense the sword, he saw how the assassin raised his hand and slashed down. With his instinct warning him, Broly had quickly evaded to the side.

As Broly was studying the assassin, so was his opponent. Broly was standing 3-meters-tall in his battle armor and gave off a terrifying aura that crushed the ground around him.

After observing their opponents, their gazes met.

For a moment, it looked like the center of the universe was those two that were about to face each other in the middle of a floating city.

”I suppose you are the strongest around here?” Broly broke the silence. The assassin nodded slightly. He was silent for a moment before opening his mouth again.

”I heard about you, King Broly. The people in the light praise you and your subjects as the peace bringers and the ones in the dark call you a tyrant, who hunts them down like cattle. You are equally hated as you are worshipped.”

Broly raised an eyebrow.

”You know about me but what about you. Mister number one assassin.” The assassin smiled slightly.

”I am just someone who threads the same path as you. I was known as Solutus.”

”Alright, enough chitchat, let's get down to business!” Broly said. His voice couldn't hide the thirst for battle any longer. He was here to completely eradicate this organization and after he defeated the backbone, the rest of the organization would inevitably fall with him.

He put the tower into the back of his mind as he concentrated on the opponent in front of him. Even if he tried to go for the tower, he wasn't confident in escaping Solutus pursuit unharmed. So, if he couldn't shake him off, he would just stomp him into the ground first!
