[

System Conclusion: 50% Both of your parents will survive if they make the first move, and the enemy wizard didn't care about their teammate. With a surprise element, the chance will surely increase to 60% and sure will win, but with a condition, one of your parents should die to get the wizard's attention.

Is there another way?

[

System Conclusion: There is a chance someone might saw your family suddenly gone and calls for reinforcement.

Hmm…that's good.

*tch*

Leona was annoyed when she felt a presence of a stronger killer who was hiding in the dark.

"It seems the minister's patience has been running out!!" She gave Desmond to Alice and stepped forward to protect her.

One of the assassins noticed how attractive Leona's body was, and he shamelessly scanned her body with a disgusting smile.

"It's a pity a woman as beautiful as you should die.

Or we can make a fu-"

*swoosh*

An ice spike suddenly appeared, aiming at his face. He dodged nimbly. "I se-"

*swoosh* *clank*

Unconsciously, he took his dagger and blocked a sword that suddenly appeared in front of him, but…

*crash*

His dagger couldn't manage to block the sword, as result, the sword thrust forward and pierced his neck.

*pop*

Blood sprouted out from the assassin's neck, and it's also revealed who the attacker was. Bastian was the one who managed to kill one of the assassins; when the other assassins saw their friend being killed, they immediately attacked Bastian—aiming straight at his heart while the other aimed at his throat.

When he witnessed that one of his subordinates died, the mysterious assassin felt annoyed and started to chant. "Fuck off. Advance Spell: Gravity Lock"

Instantly, Bastian felt his body became heavier, immediately he activated his swordsman skill and chanted a spell barrier. A small barrier appeared protecting his neck. Then he used his swordsman skill and enchanted his leg.

Simultaneously, when Leona heard the mysterious assassin chanted a spell, she also did the same. A colossal ice spear appeared beside her and headed towards them.

Bastian immediately dodged, but one of the assassin daggers managed to pierce his shoulder. While on the assassin side, they wanted to dodge but noticed an ice spike thrust their legs, making their movement slowed.

As result, their body was split in half by the ice spear while Bastian was bleeding after dodging the ice spear. Bastian was bled not because of the ice spear but because of the gravity spell, which made him fight against gravity.

Leone then looked at Bastian's condition. "Honey, wait a moment." Immediately she began chanting a healing spell, fearing her husband might die."

Advance Spell: Mass Healing.

In an instant, all the wounds on Bastian's body disappeared, and his condition returned to normal. But it cost her all of her energy until her vision became blurred, and her breath became gasped.

Truly wasting energy.

It might be a good spell, but maybe I will learn it if this spell can focus only on one person.

Bastian, who had been healed, went straight to Leona, preventing her from falling.

"You can rest, honey. Let me handle this."

"Mother, father, " From afar, Alice shouted loudly while trying to hold back her tears.

"Sob...I was wor..ried about you guys .. sob.. seeing father covered in blood ... sob I want to help dad ...hiks ..but I realized I have to ke..ep my little brother.." She kept grumbling while sobbing.

Meanwhile, Inside Desmond's mind.

Oh…

The battle was amazing.

But looks like they were almost dead.

Marks that wizard who tried to kill my family and displays it continuously on the map.

Maybe I will avenge them in the future. They almost gave me heart attack.

"Hel..l...o, sorry for disturbing your family moment. But I'm still alive here." A person shadow appeared from now where he seemed to hold a sword that was made from a lump of iron.

"Let's go round 2, hahaha."

Immediately Bastian released Leona and headed toward the last assassin. On the way Bastian started chanting a spell that made his sword change color, and flames flushed out surrounding it.

Because he still had his leg enchantment, Bastian instantly arrived in front of the assassin. He raised his sword as high as possible and swung it towards the middle of the assassin, wanted to split the assassin's body.

The wizard had expected it, and he, has been analyzing Bastian combat tactics after many of his subordinates died. He changed the shape of the sword to be a shield.

*clank*

A thud was heard, Bastian's sword did not manage to penetrate the assassin's shield, Bastian knew that his sword did not contain a spell reinforced again.

After he failed to penetrate, he immediately swung his sword from the side. The swordsman class was famous for its passive skills that give them swift reflexes, but it will not work very well if used for long-distance. Thus this distance gave him a huge advantage.

*pop*

Then The assassin's hand floated in the air while blood poured out from it.

"Ahhhh... Fuck you; I will kill you!" The assassins shouted and changed his shield's shape to five small daggers, floating in the air and heading towards Bastian.

After Bastian succeeded in cutting off his opponent's hand, he withdrew and activated the skill "Swordsman Skill: 3rd eye!" His vision became clearer, now he saw tiny details, like dust in the air.

The five daggers came towards him, but he swiftly dodged almost all of the daggers, before the last dagger came out of the underground and wanted to attack Bastian's back neck.

But, before the dagger pierced Bastian's back neck, a voice was heard.

"Expert Spell: Magic Break." Someone from the outside dimension shouted.

The grey sight started to crack then broke while the dagger that wanted to hit Bastian's neck began to melt and return to the ground.
