Chapter 63 - Breakaway

"Bahahaha! These low leveled players dared to enter the war mission!" Tyron decided to rub it into Sato's group. "No wonder the Undead Faction is losing. They have noob players like them!"

The rest of Tyron's guild started sniggering and followed with their leader's comments. Anything to get on his good side. Only Ming stood silently by the side, watching the group of five guiltily.

Sato stared into Tyron's eyes angrily. It was fine if he had only insulted Sato, but to drag his four other teammates into this? It was simply unacceptable.

"Hayden. I will try to distract the group of them. Seize that opportunity to make a run for it." Sato quietly whispered under his breath to Hayden who was gripping his staff tightly.

"How could we do that? We..."

"It's okay. There's no need to stay behind. The location to fight there was my decision and so I should bear the responsibility." Sato didn't let Hayden continue. He did not want to drag everyone down with him, at most he dies in the battlefield. There weren't any penalties for dying here.

"Enough chitchatting, you low lifes! Let me end your adventure short now!" Swinging his sword downwards and pointing it at Sato's squad, he yelled at them.

"That's so typical of you, Tyron. To use your group to attack those of lower power than you. Despicable." Sato stepped forward getting closer to the cocky leader. Due to the low level displayed on Sato, the other players did not even bother to raise their weapons.

"Huh? How do you know my real name?" Tyron had not used his real name as his in-game name. In-game he was called HisMagnificence, a truly cocky name.

"I guess you wouldn't have been able to recognise me, now that I have changed my name." Sato spun the dreadful Dagger on his fingertip. "How about this? If you beat me in a 1 versus 1, I will tell you how I know your name?"

"Hahaha! Sure! This 1v1 against you will be so easy that I will only have to use my sword to defeat you!" Tyron didn't think much of this challenge as he had thought that he could finish Sato off in seconds. What he didn't know was that Sato was buying his teammates time to heal up so that they can make a healthy sprint later on.

Brandishing his blade, Tyron walked up, finally leaving behind his sugarbaby. His guildmates had created a makeshift circle for them to fight in.

"Watch my first strike!" Tyron shouted out as he slashed downwards using all his might. This was a Level 70's full force attack, something that Sato wouldn't look down upon.

Just as it was about to split Sato in half, the assassin gently leaped backwards. The blade barely misses him.

"What?"

Tyron shocked at the assassin's agility decided to continue slashing at him. Yet, it was to no avail. Sato was not getting hit by even one attack. Heck, he did not even have to use Blink to run away.

"You sure you are able to kill me solely based on your normal attacks, Mr big ego?" Sato taunted the young man while yawning a little.

"You piece of.... Shit!" Going against his words, Tyron followed up Sato's taunt with an empowered strike, Earth-Shattering Blow.

*Earth-Shattering Blow

*When slashing down, creates a small gravity surge that will stun anything within it. Deals 150% physical damage.

Sato knew what attack was coming up as he saw the red glow from Tyron's sword. Afterall, he was once part of the young man's guild. Using Blink, Sato appeared behind Tyron. He taped on the cocky boy's shoulder teasingly.

"Too slow, Tyron." Sato Knee Strikes the back of Tyron, stunning him for a short second. In that time he decided kick him into Tyron's human barricade.

"Arghhhh! YOU FILTHY ASSASSIN!" When the rich spoilt boy got up, he was fuming with anger. His face was red and looked like it was steaming from all the pent up rage in him.

"Take this blow from me! Not like a pussy that only knows how to run!" This time, Tyron had activated his strongest skill. A flurry of symbols appeared in a circle around the furious swordsman. The air around him stiffled and fluctuated as if his aura had thickened tremendously.

"Symbol Of Death: Magi's Blade!" With a vertical slash in the direction of Sato, the circle of symbols that was originally on the ground, had formed in the air. Next, came out a bright light from the center of the circle, lines started to lengthen out from circle.

Sato smiled as he swiftly skidded on the ground, preemptively dodging the long range sword skill of Tyrons. In a second, the light expanded straight towards where Sato originally stood.

Missing the assassin, it continued to on to destroy the tree behind Sato, where the 2 pairs of siblings were recovering. The center of the tree was completely destroyed, resulting in it falling downwards.

"Whitie now!" Just like he had asked before, Whitie used Winds Wrath to knock up a dirt cover that lower the player's vision slightly. That was the signal that Sato gave the siblings for them to run. The tree that was once obstructing them had been taken away too.

"Don't let those four get away!" Tyron figured out the assassin's plan and immediately ordered them off.

"It's too late! If you leave to chase them now, I shall kill your small brained leader!" Sato, instead of running away, walked up to Tyron who was immobilised.

*Symbol Of Death: Magi's Blade

*Summons a sword ray from Magi's volume. Deals 500% Physical damage that is able to destroy almost any terrain that is struck in it's path. After user uses the skill, he will be immobilised and unable to cast anything for 5 seconds.

"How did you know about the side effect?" Tyron stared into the mysterious assassin's eyes. He had only used this skill when he was against raid bosses or when he was sure that I can kill someone. Unless the person was a part of his guild before, no one else would have known.

It was then Tyron had an epiphany. Scanning through all the people that had known about this skill, only one person fitted the criterias.

"Sato... So it is you." Tyron laughed loudly while he had no choice, but to stand still. "Guys no need to chase his teammates! Circle around this peasent boy! I'm going to make sure I kill him on this battlefield!"
