Few hours later...
The dense forest was quiet and serene. Occasionally, a few smaller beasts would leap across the forest ground, startling the birds resting in the trees.
The serene atmosphere lasted for a short while before it was suddenly disrupted by a terrible looking figure that frightened away all the birds in the trees.
Ignoring the disruption he had just caused, the distressful looking shadow scurried away. Occasionally, his terrified face would sweep a glance towards his back as though there was an ancient ferocious beast that was chasing after him.
After running for some distance, this human figure lifted his head and stared at the light just a short distance away. An uncontrolled happiness surfaced on his face. Once he escaped this irritating dense forest, he would be able to call upon his companions to save him. When that time came, he would no longer need to fear the death god that was after his life.
The assassin's body suddenly charged forward. He jumped and fiercely stepped onto a tree branch. Instantly, his figure shot towards the light with an explosive force.
With the bright light which was almost by his side, the uncontrolled happiness on the assassin's face grew increasingly denser. However, a moment later, the happiness suddenly froze as the assassin realised that a fierce suction had abruptly appeared. Not only did the suction forcefully halt his advance, it even pulled his body backwards.
A startled look covered his face. Before the assassin could shout, a black figure flashed passed him. An enormous, breaking wind accompanied by a the sound of muted thunder smashed heavily onto his chest.
"Bang!" The deep muffled sound caused the assassin to shut his eyes tightly as his chest sunk inwards.
The enormous force caused the assassin's body to fall from midair and crash painfully into the ground, scattering the soil. Along the damaged organs, fresh blood violently spurted all over the place.
His enormous pair of eyes stared intently at the human figure standing on a tree branch above him. Gradually, the eyes became white and a moment later, the assassin's breath was extinguished…
Staring indifferently at the assassin whose breath was extinguished, the young man who was standing on the tree branch slightly tightened his hands.
In a soft voice, he whispered, "The eleventh…. since you wish to take other people's head in exchange for money, you should be mentally prepared for others to kill you."
