Chapter 419 A dark night (3)

When the broadsword made contact with the door, the door wasn't able to put up any resistance at all.

The force at which the broadsword was swung with was transferred into the door and shattered the door to pieces.

The fragmented pieces of wood flew out into the room.

Seeing this, Shadow Five moved in front of me and swung her sword around to cut down the pieces of wood flying at us.

During this time, she had made sure to keep her other hand on a dagger in her cloak just in case these cloaked figures made a move.

But the large cloaked figure didn't come in our direction.

Instead, the large cloaked figure started moving towards the other cloaked figure in the room.

The two of them gathered right beside the window before suddenly...jumping out the window.

They didn't even bother looking back at us as they jumped out.

That was how decisive these cloaked figures were.

The moment that they realized that they had failed in the assassination, they didn't hesitate at all to jump out the window to escape.

Shadow Five and I hesitated for a second before slowly moving over towards the window to see what was happening outside.n.-o(.v/(e((l)-b(/1-)n

It was also at this time that the guards had reached my room and came in to see what was happening.

When they saw Shadow Five, they immediately raised their weapons and shouted, "Don't move! Step away from Count Zwein this instant!"

I couldn't help shaking my head when I heard this. But I raised my hand to stop them and said, "Stop, she's my guard. The culprits just jumped out the window and ran away."

The guards didn't put down their weapons right away as they looked at me with doubt, but they eventually put their weapons down and turned to run outside to chase after the culprits.

There were a few that stayed behind to make sure that I was alright.

These guards looked at Shadow Five with a strange look, but they didn't do anything to her.

I just ignored them and walked over to the window with Shadow Five.

When we looked outside, we were surprised by what we saw.

The two cloaked figures were still there.

I had thought that they would run away, but it turned out that this wasn't the case.

They were still standing outside the residence with their weapons raised, as if they were fighting someone.

I couldn't see that well since it was dark outside, but with the torches of the guards, I could see that there was someone standing there in front of them.

I didn't recognize this person at first, but then I saw that it was Shaka who had stopped them.

As soon as I saw that it was Shaka, I turned to Shadow Five and said, "Go and help him capture those two. These guards can protect me."

Shadow Five looked at me as if she was hesitating, but she gave a nod and jumped out the window in the end.

She fell right down above the two cloaked figures and she swung her sword down at them, but they had noticed her and were able to react in time.

The large figure raised his broadsword and blocked Shadow Five's sword. Then with one large swing, he threw her back into the air.

Shadow Five flipped a few times in the air before landing on the opposite side of these cloaked figures.

The two cloaked figures were now trapped between her and Shaka.

Shaka was surprised to see this new cloaked figure appear, but seeing that she was attacking his targets, it seemed like this new cloaked figure was an ally.

To make sure of this, I shouted from the window, "She works for me! Work together to take them down!"

Shaka looked up at me and his eyes relaxed a bit when he saw that I was alright.

Then he turned back down to look at Shadow Five.

Shadow Five gave a nod before suddenly charging at the cloaked figures.

When Shaka saw this, he also charged forward from the opposite side.

The cloaked figures went back to back as they faced off against the two approaching enemies.

The smaller cloaked figure was facing Shadow Five while the larger cloaked figure was facing Shaka.

But there was no contest at all.

Shaka had been able to suppress both of them alone and now that he had backup, there was no chance that they would be able to fight back.

There was a green glow that suddenly appeared around Shaka as he disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the large cloaked figure and was swinging his sword down at him.

The large figure was barely able to raise his broadsword in time, but he wasn't able to resist the force of Shaka's swing and was carried back by it.

He hit the smaller cloaked figure behind him, knocking him off balance which made it easier for Shadow Five to slash the smaller cloaked figure's hands, forcing him to drop his sword.

The two of them quickly fell to the ground and their weapons were thrown away from them.

When they tried to get up, they found that both Shaka and Shadow Five had their weapons pointed at them so that they couldn't move anymore.

The guards had just approached at this time and quickly moved to surround the cloaked figures so that they wouldn't have a single path of escape.

Once they had trapped these two, Shaka asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Neither of the cloaked figures responded to this.

Instead, they looked at each other as if they were trying to decide what to do next.

But then...both of them suddenly started to shake.

This shaking became more and more intense, almost as if they were having a seizure.

Then all of a sudden, both of these cloaked figures collapsed to the ground and stopped moving.
