Oh, my God."
The corners of the mouth went up on the lead assassin. He nke as if he were having fun with the situation.
"Originally, I'd kill you straight away, but it seems that will have to be put on hold first. I'm going to have you tell me how you know of our organization so well."
"Try me."
As soon as the words were finished, Asher moved his body. It looked like a leisurely walk, but an after-image quickly took place of Asher's position standing before him. Asher quickly arrived in front of a nearby assassin.
"...!"
The random assassin stepped back in surprise, but Asher was too fast to be avoided. Asher brutally gripped the arm of the nearby assassin and brought the sword down, slicing the arm off cleanly. Then, he quickly repositioned the blade and grabbed the elbow and stabbed into the gushing artery. There were thirteen assassins but now there were twelve in Asher's eyes.
The rest were looking at him blankly as if they still couldn't figure out the situation.
'What a bunch of Idiots.', Asher thought to himself.
Asher dashed forward to another assassin who was standing there blankly. Bringing the sword in a diagonal movement, he slashed the neck so fast, none of the assassin's could even process what happened as the head slid off the shoulders and dropped to the floor.
Eleven left. Only then did the assassins hide themselves in a hurry as they realized they had provoked a monster.
"Do you think that's really enough to prevent me from killing all of you?"
Asher sneered at the vain attempts of the assassins to gather themselves.
Asher's body accelerated once more after chopping the head off of the last assassin. The shadows moving in the surroundings, shook and trembled as the assassin's felt the ominous and eerie presence within Asher's words. Their eyes showed a brief gap of hesitation at his threat, and Asher did not miss the chance to capitalize on it.
Kagak!
There was a brash sound of iron clanging against iron. Asher grabbed the next assassin's arm and deflected the blade of a dagger thrown at him. The moment he tried to stab the heart of the assassin he was concentrating on, the body of the assassin became dark and disappeared.
However, Asher did not panic and turned around to throw a dagger. The forehead of the assassin who moved behind his back was penetrated viciously with the dagger he threw. Asher muttered, kicking the falling body.
"Did the Lord allow you annoying bastards to settle here? Eh, probably not. It's to be expected, seeing how annoying your god is."
"…how do you know that."
An uncontrollable irritation and anxiety sprung up in the lead assassin's voice. Worried about the true identity of the boy in front of him, he threw a couple daggers from the robes of his sleeves looking for an opening in Asher's defense. But naturally, Asher did not even panic from the daggers and deflected them with ease.
Irritated with the lead assassin's endless questions and aloof expressions from earlier, Asher spoke.
"I've had enough of this silly talk. If you can't get used to the fact that information is for the winner, then you're an idiot."
Asher took a step back as he moved her foot. At the same time, an assassin on the wall ran out and wielded a knife where he was stepping back. Asher paused his feet and kicked upwards.
Crunch.
The neck of the assassin broke and the neck bones shattered as Asher kicked at the man's neck with force.
"Just because you haven't told me who you are, doesn't mean I have my own means of acquiring information on you. So stop acting as if you're hiding some big secret that needs to be kept hidden."
Asher explained just how flawed the lead assassin's thinking was as he attacked.
There were now only nine assassins left. One of the assassins noticed there were no weapons in Asher's hands all of a sudden as Asher had left the sword in the elbow of one of the now deceased assassins, and yelled out loud.
"…He's no longer armed! Kill him!"
The dark shadows moved once more. Five or six assassins rushed around Asher at once and encircled him. Several assassins came forward with daggers in their hands, killing intent eager in their hands at the defenseless Asher.
Then in a flash, a sword appeared in Asher's hand out of thin air.
The assassins were frightened at the sudden appearance and paused, but it was the worst possible choice they could have made at that moment.. The sword made a smooth circle motion, and six heads flew in the air.
"Is it three now? How simple."
Asher said with an annoyed face. It was too easy for him. The period of peace hadn't just made the overall population dull with their swordsmanship, but even these assassins were incredibly dull in their movements, nowhere near the level of the assassins Asher had fought against in the era of strife and war.
Asher threw the sword into the air. Asher shakes his arms small as the assassins' eyes turn to the sword. Two daggers ran out from under his wrists, and Asher grabbed them and threw them immediately without a pause in the motion. The assassins were taken down without being able to let out even a grunt.
"It's a lot easier than I thought."
Asher grabbed the sword with a satisfied face and tapped his wrist bracelet with pleasure. He had already deemed that this tool would be incredible through his practice, but it was even more useful than he could possibly imagine, now that he was using it in real combat.
His test with the bracelet's effectiveness was over, and the lead assassin finally stepped forward, applauding Asher and clapping his hands at the display of his dead comrades.
"That's amazing. I never thought you could kill all the assassins here by exploiting a simple trick of yours."
"It's not enough in real fights, I know that much."
"Yes it's obvious."
The man nodded his head. He stopped clapping and pulled a sword out from inside his black robe.
"You managed to kill all of these assassins with no display of swordsmanship whatsoever, and by only using simple tricks to fool the eyes. How wonderful!"
