75 Killing the assassin sect's disciples
"Something doesn't feel right number 2", the boss of the team queried to the one beside him all of a sudden.
"What doesn't feel right, boss?", number 2 who is masked in black asked his boss.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
"Like, we are being observed by someone but that feeling only lasted for a second. Maybe it is a spirit beast, I guess", the boss concluded it as some kind of spirit beast and searched for his teammates.
The masked figure behind him didn't say anything and continued following the boss.
But what they didn't know is that they were spied by Ajax from a large tree with a murderous glint in his eyes.
"I will let you live for now", Ajax stopped gazing at the boss and focused on the rested teammates.
....
"Hey idiot, can't you even run properly?", the masked figure who was called as number 1 leered at the injured number 3.
"Stop calling me idiot, otherwise I don't know want I will do to you", the injured number 3 snapped at number 1.
*Steps*
"Who's there?", amidst their conversation, they heard the sounds of footsteps which alerted them and made them ask the question in unison with alertness.
"My name is Ajax, nice to meet you", Ajax introduced himself politely looking at them like a beast eyeing on its prey.
'Number 1, he is the target', number 3 silently whispered to number 1 when he looked at the Ajax who is staring at them like his prey.
"I am also very happy that we finally met", without any hesitation, number 1 rushed forward with two daggers in each hand in an attempt to kill him in a single strike.
Just as he thought he was killing his target, his legs were suddenly sucked into the sand for a moment making him lose his momentum and he jumped backward to escape from the sand dune.
"Then, go ahead", Ajax motioned his hand for him to speak.
"I don't know much but it was posted on the mission board in our assassin sect to kill everyone from the Volar city", he breathed heavily as he continued, "As for why or who did it, I don't know".
"Huh?", Ajax pondered for a bit and questioned, "Then who knows about it".
"Sect leader and the third Elder who manages the missions in the sect are the only ones to knows about more details", number 3 assured Ajax about it.
"Another thing, who gave the mission for my head", Ajax asked calmly.
"It's Hammergust family's young master, Luis Hammergust", he quickly revealed without wasting any time.
'Luis Hammergust, I will let you know the consequences of messing with me, Ajax', Ajax silently thought to himself.
"And?", Ajax calmly looked at the crippled number 3 in front of him.
"...", number 3 didn't understand and don't know what to say.
"Who is another one that wanted my head", seeing the look of confusion on his face, Ajax questioned in detail.
"I really don't know. I swear", number 3 begged when he saw the fireball became bigger and bigger.
"How many disciples participated in that massacre?", Ajax changed the question.
"200 bronze-level assassins, 50 silver-level assassins, and 1 gold-level assassin", fearing the fire-ball that is only a few feet distance, he revealed the details swiftly.
"Ok then", as soon as he said that a small portal appeared before the injured number 3 and became a lump of minced meat from the incoming wind blades.
Only after seeing the minced body, Ajax calmed down
"Damn you, assassin sect" Ajax shouted angrily making the low-level spirit birds fly.
"Two more targets to go", Ajax muttered and followed in the direction of the remaining teammates without checking the notifications that came from killing.
