(Author's note: I'm currently experiencing a Author's Block right now, so I can only update 1 chapter a day in order for the released chapters not to catch up on the novel's stock chapters, which is currently at chapter 144 right now. I will do my best to pull myself back together as soon as possible. So until then, I hope for your patience and understanding, and thank you very much, heheheh! HAPPY READING!)
Leo took one step after another one step as he slowly and silently approaches a lone member that was currently applying for medicine at its wounds and.
This person didn't camp out within the crowd and had instead chosen to recover alone. Although, that was really suspicious, but Leo didn't care about that since there was practically no one paying any attention in his target's area after looking around. So he continued his approach.
The chance was obviously presented with open arms in front of him. What else should he do?
Obviously, it was the time for the lion to strike the hyena who had been hunting around the zebras!
"This mission is really tiring!" Leo suddenly said as soon as he arrived in front. Fortunately, the cave was somewhat dark in a few spots, and that includes the current location he was standing on as it has easily covered his clothes and face in the darkness.
"Indeed! I'm really exhausted. All I wanted to do now is to return home and rest all day!" The person replied after taking a short glance at Leo before continuing to apply for medicine on his wounds.
Just like what he had expected, his target didn't notice the one single flaw which was his clothes. His current location has shrouded his clothes in darkness. And it wasn't really surprising for a person to stand in the darkness and begin a conversation at this moment since the cave was somewhat dark and the only source of light was only being provided by the little tiny bits of Light Stones embedded around the cave, hence causing any member from the Black organization to only be vaguely seen by the others. Moreover, almost all of the Black organization's members were covering their faces too, so it's pretty normal for them not to recognize who was with them. Unless, of course, if they had long been together in a group, right?
So, his target just casually replied and didn't pay any further attention to him and had instead continued focusing on applying for medicine on his wounds.
"We have the same thoughts!" Leo said while slowly taking a few steps to close down the distance between him and his target inconspicuously.
When the distance between Leo and that person was only less than 2 meters, he had finally noticed that the former wasn't a part of their group at all since the clothes Leo was wearing weren't the same as theirs. He wanted to quickly retaliate or even make any slight noise to warn everyone about an intruder. But, unfortunately, his mouth was suddenly covered by a handmade out of rock and both of his hands were bounded by a rock that appeared out of nowhere.
Unexpectedly, it was the Earth Elemental that Leo had sent out secretly.
Before Leo spoke to his target, he had already secretly sent out the Earth Elemental, in a toy soldier form, to ambush the rear. Although it was just one person. Hence doing so much effort might sound useless and unnecessary, but he knew for the fact that only by doing so could the Mischievous Lion that has long been stalking the pack of Cunning Hyenas succeed in its strike.
"Though this is not your home, I'm still granting half of your wish!" Leo said as he took out a hidden dagger from a hidden pocket on his clothes.
Quickly, Leo stabbed his target's neck deeply, causing the latter to lose his breath extremely fast. Right after, he quickly took out the clothes of that person before silently throwing the body to an inconspicuous area and swiftly changing clothes afterwards.
Soon, Leo now wore black clothes with a silver token that had a black hammer symbol on the left side of his chest. Even if he comes close to any soldier from the Black organization right now, they would still not be able to tell that he was actually not part of their Black organization.
Soon after, Leo slowly approached another target. This time, his new target was somewhat nearby the group of recovering Black organization members. Although it was nearby with the others, it was still enough for him to eliminate his target without anyone noticing. The Earth Elemental was already waiting at that person's rear too. So eliminating his target has now become easy.
Leo didn't talk anymore like before to his target, since any sound made by him would surely attract the attention of the others nearby.
Leo just casually sat at the right side of his target without causing any suspicious action as the Earth Elemental suddenly covered his target's mouth with its hand, bounded its body to prevent any movements, and swiftly, he stabs the latter's heart with the dagger on his hand.
That person died quickly without making any movements or sound at all. Afterwards, Leo suddenly pushed that person's upper body in front to make it looked like that the former was just resting before he quickly moved again inconspicuously to another nearby target.
This time, the group was made up of three people, gathered together while talking about their dissatisfaction with the battle.
From the 80 Black organization members that the Black organization had sent out to be lead by Richton, only 30 remain right now. The casualty rate was as high as 50% despite the mission is easy. This obviously showed just how incapable Richton was in leading, which would naturally cause dissatisfaction to the group.
At this moment, before taking his step closer to the 3 soldiers, Leo had silently and carefully summoned two new Earth Elemental, which was obviously summoned in a toy soldier form in order to avoid attracting anyone's attention. Afterwards, he ordered the 2 new Earth Elementals to go and wait at his two other target's rear.
After absorbing the power of the 6 large Mana stones from before, he could already summon 2 Earth Elementals, which was also equivalent to 4 Wind Elementals. And right now, after absorbing the 9 large Mana stones last night, he could finally summon another Earth Elemental.
In fact, he might even be able to summon 4 Earth Elemental. He hadn't tested it yet though, since his current situation doesn't allow him to do so. And yesterday too, he was really busy and all of his focus was on learning Support Magic spells. So he didn't have enough time to try testing his capability after consuming the 9 large Mana stones. He was only able to check his capability to finally summoned a Fire Elemental at that time before he went downstairs to eat his dinner. Nevertheless, he could somewhat feel that there was still enough space in his consciousness right now to form another Earth Elemental.
Leo was a careful type of person, but unfortunately, he hadn't fully adjusted to his new status as being a Mage yet. So, his behavior was somewhat the same as when he was still an ordinary person.
Meanwhile, taking slow steps forward, Leo finally arrived in front of his 3 targets.
The 3 people were already long been bounded by the 3 Earth Elemental. So, they were incapable of making any movements or sound anymore at this point.
Leo just stood in front of them while their eyes were staring in shock towards him. Fear was also evident in their eyes; the fear of death.
Bounding them up to prevent any movements and to make any sort of sounds only meant one thing; Leo, the person standing in front of them, is going to kill them.
"I know that all of you are tired. I'm just granting you your deepest and greatest wish!" Leo said before quickly taking the life of the 3 people.
Like the last time, Leo only pushed the upper part of body of the 3 people forward, hence making it looked like that they were only just taking a rest.
In this manner, Leo quickly took all the life of the resting people, specifically 10 people.
In front was Richton, still sending orders after orders to the battlefield. He wasn't aware that all the soldiers that he had ordered to take a rest before are already taking their rest, forever...
After taking down all the resting soldiers, Leo quickly joined the battle. Fortunately, he successfully blended into the group of Mages.
However, Leo soon found out that the leader of the Black organization in this mission, which was unbeknownst to him was actually Richton, was within this group. So, he can't kill anyone that easily like before anymore.
After all, it was pretty obvious already that the leader was really serious at this moment. Hence, any suspicious movement or even a slight disturbance beside him would surely attract all of his attention.
Since that was the case, Leo could only take a step back as he quietly blended himself in the darkness once again. He quickly casted Cloak and Invisibility spell to himself before he stayed put in one place, waiting for the situation to turn into what he had already expected it would turn out to be.
