55 Young Boy (2/2)

Suddenly, one of the 16 men stood underneath the tree the boy was hiding in, and the boy jumped down from the tree while concentrating a dense Red Lightning on his right leg which created a sharp Lightning Blade on it. He swung his leg, trying to slice through the man's head off.

But before his Lightning Blade could even reach that man, another man appeared in front of him and caught his arm and captured him. Then man who acted as a bait turned around and smiled slyly towards that young boy.

Ryusei sighed in disappointment as he thought that the young boy would most likely die if he doesn't interfere, 'It's a pity for a young talent like him to die a worthless death. Looks like I need to save him.'

But his eyes widened in surprise as he noticed a faint smile on boy's face as he created two similar Red Lightning Blades on both of his hands and slashed at the man holding his hands. Blood overflowed through his slashed arm due to his carelessness. He never expected that the boy could form those sinister blades in his hands and sneak attack him.

The Young Boy staggered back as he got freed and a looked at man's hand that was still holding onto his arm. He threw the man's hand like a piece of trash and stared coldly at him as he tried to slice his throat with a quick attack.

Ryusei was impressed by the tenacity shown by the boy. His Spirit Ability wasn't too surprising but he was surprised by the mentality and determination shown by such a young boy. His calm judgment and quick reflexes were really impressive.

'This is the kind of person I was looking for the Assassination Department. Guess I have to save him if I want him to join the organisation. If he accepts then he can join the assassination department if not, well I can always find someone else.'

He decided to save this young boy from as he knew that boy could potentially become a great asset for his organization. Ryusei pulled out his cape and his mask and quickly wore them as he didn't want to expose his identity to whoever these people are.

He saw that the man acting as a bait had already grabbed the boy's arms while the other one grabbed his neck and was coldly staring at the Young Boy. He was still feeling pain from losing his arm and said furiously, ”First you dare to steal our food and money and then you actually injured my brother. Killing you 100's of times won't be enough to satisfy me.”

Ryusei heard his words and knew that it was useless to ask this man to leave the young boy and threw that idea out of his mind. He knew that he had to use force to save that boy.

Ryusei disappeared from the tree and was suddenly in front of the man by using his Lightning Flash, before the man could react, Ryusei punched him in the face. As his fist connected to the man's head, it exploded in a bloody gore painting the tree red behind him.

Both the boy and the other were terrified as their bodies trembled seeing such a bloody scene. They never expected someone to appear out of the blue and killed a Spirit Ancestor with a single blow.

The young boy turned vision towards his saviour, trying to see his face but he was meet with a pair of cold eyes that radiated immense pressure. For the first time in his life he felt powerless. It was as if he was ant in front of him.

The young boy felt that all his tricks were useless in front of Ryusei and he knew that Ryusei could kill him in a blink of an eye. The man acting as a bait tried to sneak attack Ryusei in anger but he got sliced in two by a Purple Lightning Blade and his blood flew like a fountain.

”Boy, state your name” asked Ryusei with a flat tone.
