With all the preparations ready I left the Guild building with my teammates. When leaving I'm happy to be the target of the penetrating gaze of four killers seems they do not suspect anything, and this the first time I am happy to be being watched by enemies.
My group walked quietly through the streets my companions are talking normally I'm the only one in silence but that's not something so unusual I avoid getting involved in discussions that involve Erick, Hilda and Raziel not how to come out victorious in this type of discussion one of them always will get angry with me, not that I care about Raziel and Erick being offended by my opinion, but I don't want to risk offending Hilda over a trivial matter.
Yes, their discussions are about trivial things like which is the best option on the institute's cafeteria menu, which is the best seasoned skewer shop, where I find the best bread to buy and to change the subject, they discuss who spent the most on a plate of food, but the latter Hilda tends to make this kind of competition. Now I stopped to think about it I realize that they basically speak of food know this and the common hobby that many warriors and warriors have in common as everyone can eat a lot of food without so fat eating becomes a common and accessible way to have a relaxing time.
But back to the assassins who are following my team and observing a common thread among group of adventurers, but soon this situation changes when I saw some green auras approaching my team. And the reason I can see their auras and why they are not coming from behind my group but in front of six warriors with varied elements, but all of them are covered with a shadow element cloak that comes from the mage who is at their rear.
This is the first time I see it, before I've only come from descriptions in books, but shadow element mages are really capable of hiding multiple allies at the same time. The warriors I believe to be the guild are scattered across the rooftops and alley in front of us I believe they should make their move only when the assassins pass close to their location.
It didn't take long for us to pass the warriors and as I approached one of the warriors who was hiding in an alley, I could see a very fine trace of elemental energy coming out of its cloak of concealment and traveling directly to the mage two blocks away.
I really didn't expect this, but I'm really happy with this news I had already speculated that for mages to keep their control over complex spells at a distance or to have to control a basic spell over a very long distance they had to maintain some form of connection with its magic.
I wasn't sure because the spells I see being manipulated are used in direct combat and mages only use their concentration to manipulate in those moments even Ingredi's earth or water projects she just needs to use her concentration to move them around the field while training, but when she told me how eager she was to level up so she could create a stone golem to use as a bodyguard she hinted that they had a connection to manipulating the golem after casting it.
But now I'm sure I can use this connection to track a magician enemy when faced up against this kind of magic. Although they are not very popular as this is the path of a creator mage spends much more resources and most of his strength is in his creations not in him I have already found some reports in diaries and bibliographies in the institute library where certain mages used golems and titans to ambush their enemies, but of course the mage in question was hidden away from combat and used a magical tool to see the combat so he could manipulate his buildings correctly only using spirits on the golems and titans that they can demonstrate autonomy .
This type of mage and a nightmare of tracking down your magic hideouts or towers are extremely difficult to successfully break into. As I wandered through my thoughts, there were several sounds of explosions caused by the warriors' ambush against the four assassins.
Several roofs and a street were damaged by sneak attacks made against the assassins, it seems that neither one of the weak warriors nor the assassins had much of a chance to fight back, but they didn't have much trouble getting away from the warriors only mind one of the assassins he was seriously wounded when a spearman pierced his shoulder with his spear.
The sign with the shattered shoulder didn't even let out a cry of pain in fact he used his own sword to cut the broken arm off, it was so fast and efficient that not a drop of blood fell because cutting the sword cauterized the wound he was making.
I'm shocked when I saw this sena these killers are completely puppets with no feelings at all or are under the influence of a drug to inhibit pain because there's no way a human being can do that without even a whiff of hesitation or a sign of pain. I underestimated the ability of these assassins even though they have a relatively low level of cultivation they are elites who hired them they must have spent a small fortune.
Despite the combat close to our location just started two assassins have already passed the warriors, but as they passed the warriors the one who was furthest behind was attacked by the spearman who was the only one who managed to hurt one of the assassins, he boosted himself using his wind element and intercepted one of the assassins, even though he didn't manage to hurt the assassin he still managed to delay him.
As for the assassin running towards me, I didn't panic even though I was already ready to defend my life it wasn't necessary because I had noticed the shadow element that had gathered in the shadow of the building that was covering me. When the assassin entered the shadow of the building, he was attacked by several chains of the shadow element they penetrated tearing his body and wrapping his limbs the assassin could not even take a step towards me he simply fell to the ground immobilized.
The second assassin who passed the warriors was only a few meters behind his companion but when he saw that I was protected by a shadow element wizard he threw two daggers, but only one of them was thrown at me which by the way was stopped when drilling to the half of the earth element wall erected by Ingredi in front of me the second thrown dagger aimed at the head of its immobilized companion.
I could see the assassin's movements because the mana that supported the collapsing wall that Ingredi quickly created was scattered all over the wall and it didn't bother me to see the powerful aura of the assassin who made a suicidal move now.
His dagger was going towards his neck he was going to kill himself because he had no more chance of killing me and would probably be captured, but before he did, he was asserted by the mage who was already on the roof of the building next to me. I was surprised that the mage's magic was a mixture of two dark colors of the shadow element with a dark purple which is perhaps the curse element.
The assassin who was hit by the mage falls to the ground letting out a scream of pure agony he must have taken a drug to stop the feeling of pain, but the curse element not only acts in the body but in the mind of its target even if he doesn't feel pain Your physical mind must be shredded by the violent curse that has set you on. His screams lasted a long time until he was silent as the mage enveloped him in black currents.
The assassin is only grunting and thrashing on the floor now because the mage must have gagged him with one of his chains, but that just kept him from hearing his shrill cries. This mage must have a grudge against the poor assassin's profession or he must be a sadist who is having fun with his current victim because he is torturing the assassin on purpose now. I don't care about the murderer he's already condemned and I'm not against torture either, but for me it should be used to get information not for fun or vent as I believe the magician is doing now.
But I'm not stupid or ungrateful for getting in trouble with one of my rescuers for being rough with a guy who tried to kill me. The two assassins who were surrounded by the warriors were shredded and mangled to death, but that only happened because the warriors didn't even have a chance to arrest them.
The assassins fought fiercely and because of the drugs they used they felt no pain. They looked like meat puppets even when their body was pierced one of the assassins nearly slit the throat of the warrior closest to him. The warriors formed a circular formation to apprehend the assassins and to defend against their suicidal onslaughts.

Just seeing the combat, I feel how problematic it is in dealing with this type of person the common sense doesn't apply anymore there their bodies the assassins are basically killing machines and they will fight until the end and their last move was to kill themselves in front of the warriors who were lucky not to be wounded by the assassins' poisoned blades.
It didn't take long for the guild group to pick up the bodies and the assassin who was immobilized by the mage who was now unconscious the mage used one more of his spells to put the assassin to sleep. They didn't even bother with us and took the captive and the bodies to the guild to interrogate the captured assassin.
I get a piercing look from Hilda that even surpasses the look of four killers. She must have noticed that I wasn't surprised by the short, destructive event that just happened.
Hilda interrogated me on the way to the institute and even though I said that I would tell her after we were safely inside the institute Hilda would stay away from me until she got all the answers she wanted. I don't particularly have a problem with that so the rest of my day I spent by Hilda's side.
