The evacuation of the city is already done, all of the citizens behind the first wall and all of them who live outside the wall already evacuate to the deepest city, the second wall. The total amount of people is 100.000, they gather in the second wall. makes all the buildings in there is occupied by all of the citizens except for the guild. Guild building has become the place for adventure who is wounded and in the brings of death to rest, the guild staff prepared medicine, bed, alcohol, a healing potion, bandage, and everything they need to help heal the wounded adventure. The staff is busy preparing everything, you can hear the footstep from all floor, some of them is qualified to be a nurse or a medicinal staff, for the one who didn't have the experience they waiting outside the guild to guide the people or helping them.
There's one room in the guild that is already occupied by Alcott to rest, he sleeps soundlessly, he is tired after 5 days he releases the beast, tries to beat the beast, lured that beast and run away from it, I'm sure it took a tool and amount of his luck to survive in that forest. It's understandable if he sleeps in this kind of time. The teams that follow him to those ruins, all of them is already dead they died because try to fight and hold the beast in the forest.
As the one responsible for guarding Alcott, the job should be for Galen and Jade, but because Jade is S rank Class adventure and the main force made the job of protecting him fall to Galen's hand.
During a busy time like this, there's someone walked in the guildhall without someone noticing it, he used something like a cape that covers all of his body and a hood on his head, there's no one who can see his face because he is using something like a mask, he's walking in the hall casually when the guild staff bumps to that man, the staff guild didn't realize what is that she bumping into, he can't see that man, it indicates that man is using concealment magic to hide his present and his existence, he is blended in the background that's why there is no one who can see him. The guild staff that bumps into him confused, she didn't know why she falls, she then just ignored it and leave that man behind without any curious feeling what he bumps into.
The hooded man continue to walk around the hall after she leaves, no one can see him, only if uses magic and then we can see him, he continued walking on the second floor, you can see he's searching for something, he walked slowly like scanning his surrounding he opens the door one by one on that floor while checking something, he already done it one the first floor now he is searching something in the second floor until he is in front of Alcott room, where he rest.
That man open the door slowly with a little sound,
'creak'
The sound of the door open can be heard, he then comes into the room walked slowly, it's like he doesn't want to make Alcott wake up, he continues walking until he is beside Alcott bed, he stops before he reached the bed.
That hooded man then looked in Alcott's direction. If someone sees this scene, it's like Alcott is been visited by an angel of death that wants to take his soul, and in fact... that man is come to Alcott room to take his soul because that man shows his right hand and pull the claw in his right hand. He has 5 claw in his hand, that claw is covered all of his nails, it's like a Freddie Krueger try to show off his weapon. Beside Alcott without any killing intent the guy beside him then prepared to stab Alcott that is sleep, he didn't know something dangerous besides him maybe because there is no killing intent from that hooded man he didn't wake up, the hooded man then lifts his hand and use all of his strength in his hand trying to stab Alcott with his claw, but before the claw is reached Alcott body something stopped his hand, it was...
"What are you doing?"
I stopped the hooded man hand, I grab his right hand, he tried to stab with his claw when Alcott in his sleep, I asked him something that was already obvious.
The hooded man whose hand is stopped before he can stab Alcott then surprised, he surprised because his hand can stop by me and look very confused though I can't see his face clearly, I know that he is confused behind his mask.
"I ask you once again, what are you doing?"
I let out my anger into an aura, the atmosphere in the room becomes tense, when I let out my anger I sparked magic little in my aura, I tried to intimidate him though I don't know if it will be work again him or not.
Without any delay that hooded man too tried to use intimidate aura he's showing his power, the both of us look at each other, I know from his aura that these guys are dangerous and that we are an enemy from just a glance,
'This pressure… aura… this man is dangerous it looks like I was right that there's someone who after Alcott life'
That was what I thought.
The hooded man then uses his strength on his hand tried to release his hand from my grip, my grip is really strong, I used my full strength to grip him, but without destroying his arm I tried too didn't destroy his arm since I want to capture him to be interrogation. He can't free his hand from my hand though he already used his strength, he then put magic in his hand to multiple his strength.
He confident that right now he can be released from my grip, the reality is said different with all of his effort and all his power, he still can't release from my grip he tried to free from my hand for about 3 minutes until, he finally realized that, he can't release my grip he realized that it was just a waste of time and energy to try to release from my grip after he realized he then focused his magic in left-hand magic to create some claw-like in his right hand, he creates the same claw from his magic in his left, I thought that he was about to attack me, but I was wrong… that man uses his left hand to stab Alcott.
'Stab, stab'
Twice, he stabbed Alcott twice, when he thinks that he stabbed Alcott then he realized something is missing…
"Houu, pretty clever of you… you used your left hand when your right hand is locked, huh? It is indeed the right choice, but too bad, I already predicted that too…"
The one who his stab is just a pillow, the reason why he stabs the pillow is that I ordered Arsya to use the illusion magic on that pillow so that the pillow becomes Alcott image in this man eyes.
"Too bad there's no way for you to run from here, I will catch you, please surrender and turn yourself now!!"
There's no escape for him, his hand is grabbed by my hand until he can't lose from it and the target, Alcott, he can't kill it I already move Alcott's body to another room before he got in this room.
He still trying to resist my hand thought it was futile, he then attacked me with his left hand, he targeting my head, with a frightening speed he tried to stab my head with his claw. That was a dangerous position in zero range point, but I can still dodge it and got a scratch on my cheek.
"Woah, that was dangerous"
Said me, it was dangerous if I didn't dodge it I will surely get killed. He already attacked me first so it's okay if I knock him down now.
He pulls his hand and tried to attack me again with his claw, tried to slash me with his power, I felt that his left hand is imbued by some magic I can see it but I don't know what magic is it, if I didn't dodge or block it, it will be fatal for me…
"Zrashhhhh"
The sound of glass and wood can be heard destroyed by his claw, he extends his claws until the claws are reached the wall.
Then,
"Bammm!!!"
I succeed in blocking his left hand. I took one step closer to him and pull his body too close to me, I know if I block his palm or claw I definitely will get injured, I used the distance of his hand and his claw so I can block his attack in his elbow, safety range for me so that I can't get an attack.
"Too bad"
I said to him.
He surprised that I can still survive, without any delay, I locked his left hand too since both of his hand dangerous, put his hand on my armpit and place my hand on his shoulder with all my might I pull his body and attack this hooded man with my head butt.
"Bammm!!!"
The sound of my head butt is echoing in the room, I'm sure a normal human will get his skull cracked with my head butt if they get attacked by me.
"Arghhh"
He groans in pain.
'Something is strange'
Thought me, I can feel my attack is working, but this man…
The mask that he wears then destroyed and fell off when I thought that he is a man turn out it was a woman… she use magic to change his voice
"You… you're a woman"
I was surprised.
She knows that I was confused, using this confused state she then opens his mouth and pull out something in his mouth and fell on the ground, It was a red crystal…
"Red…"
I realized that the crystal is glowing brightly...
"BOOOOM!!!!"
The room is exploded.
The crystal that she pulls out from his mouth is exploded, she used the explode to tried to kill me and escape from my grip, She was really clever to use the explosion to escape, it was a suicide action, the enemy of this caliber is can't be underestimated. She was in the midair thinking that she was able to escape from me because her body's been swept away by the explosion wind to the outside of the guild with her right hand is cut off from the explosion, her left-hand slips off from my grip and survive from the explosion, she is falling down from the second floor., but it was useless because I have another counter for her if she escapes…
"It's just like master predicted, huh?"
She was surprised that there's a woman's voice from the outside even though he is in the midair, she looked in the voice direction and saw a girl with black armor and katana, the time she looked in her direction is the moment she realized that she about to be cut off…
"Edge slash!!!"
Arsya then released her skill.
