Chapter 38 - Assassins

While Jesus was walking back to the inn after the noble incident. Somewhere that seems to be on top of a building. 7 demons wearing all black from top to bottom seems to be staring at a particular man with a shadow wolf to his side down on the streets (A/N The assassins are fucking stupid for wearing all black at daytime 😑 )

"Is that the man we're here to kill? He does look kinda strong."

"Yes, that's the man we are assigned to kill. We're also assigned to grab that Shadow Wolf. Even though it's not part of our job, the client that hired us is paying us a huge amount of money if we manage to get that Wolf"

"Well, we only need to kill him to get the job done. Getting that Wolf is a big bonus for us, if we manage to catch it that is"

"I got a device from our client to make sure that the Shadow Wolf won't escape"

"That kid though is quite bold for talking back to a noble. He even took out two of his Guards"

"He's being too full of himself after becoming a Mid-teir demon. He should know that there are beings stronger than be is" One of the men in black sounded a bit angry while talking about how the man they're here to kill is being too cocky

"So when are we going to kill our target. I'm getting tired of waiting for him to be alone"

"We should get him when he's inside his room either sleeping or awake. So just be patient and see how this goes"

Unbeknownst to the group of assassins. Jesus has already noticed their appearance and he most definitely knows that they're here to kill him and get Lucy

'Master do you notice the 7 people that are on the roof' Lucy asked since she also notices them on the roof

'Yeah I do; Even if they're giving out a little bit of killing intent, I can still sense them. So for now we are going to eat out and wait until it gets dark'

Jesus sighs before speaking "Now I have to deal with these fuckers now. There goes my nap time" He then sighed again in annoyance

'Master it's going to be a while before it's going to get dark. So what are we going to do in the meantime?'

'I don't know really. What should we do expect for Hunting?'

'It's up to you master. I'll follow you wherever you go' Jesus just simply nods and head his way wherever his feet took him

Trying to pass time. Jesus was going to new places he'd never been to before. He was exploring every inch of the city and even ate at a place he never been to. Of course, he got bored eventually and decided to head to the library as he stops going there when his demon language skill reached max level but decided to go there again to learn a bit about history

Lucy on the other hand just stayed inside a shadow the whole time only coming out when she eats food. After many hours of exploring and reading, night finally falls.

Jesus exited out of the library seeing the dark and beautiful night sky with the street lights on trying to light up the city. he could see a few people out on the streets either walking home drunk or doing some late-night business. Jesus simply ignored them and pretended to go home. As he was walking back home, he was admiring the beautiful night sky that was rare when he was alive.

The assassins on the other hand didn't even care about the night sky. Instead, they were starting to get suspicious at the man they are here to kill

"Do you think he noticed us? Because if he did then it's best to take him out right now" One of the assassins said in a low voice trying not to get caught

"No, it doesn't look like he noticed us. Either way, we should take him out as soon as possible since I got a feeling he'd already noticed us"

"He most definitely notices us by now. Why would he stay in that library until nighttime? It doesn't make sense"

"Well we didn't get that much information out of him instead that he usually goes to the forest at around noon and that he's a Gold rank hunter"

While they were talking among themselves. One of them notices that he's gone

"Hey stop talking for a bit and look" The assassin pointed to the streets and saw he was missing

"Where did he went?"

"Shit we looked away for 1 minute and he's missing"

"I think he knows we're here. Look for him quickly and kill hi-"

*Crack*

<1500exp>

"Looking for me. I'll save you the trouble and go to you instead" Jesus currently was standing next to the body that he just killed

They all saw this and took a few feet back trying to have some distance

'So no quest huh. I guess this is going to be an easy fight after all' Jesus was a little bit disappointed that he didn't receive a quest but got over it quickly as he knows getting quest are rare

Jesus and the group of assassins simply stared at each other not making a move until Jesus felt a presence from behind and grabbed the Man's throat. That was when the rest of them started to rush Jesus. Of course, their plan didn't work as Jesus proceeded to use the man's body as a weapon swinging him around knocking over the assassins

"You at least tired but unfortunately your plan didn't work"

*Crack*

<1500exp>

Jesus snapped the assassin's neck effortlessly after using him as a weapon

'I should get this over with already. Lucy go behind them and kill one of them'

'Ok master' Lucy was currently going towards the 5 remaining assassins and they couldn't notice her as she was traveling inside a Shadow

The assassins were wondering what to do as their plan didn't work. Before they could think up another plan. 2 of them sink to the ground which surprised the 3 remaining assassins. This was one of the abilities that a Shadow Wolf can do. They usually use this ability to catch prey and kill them in their domain as the prey can't move unless they have a Shadow related abilities

Jesus decided to move in on them since they were caught off guard by what just happened. In an instant 2 of them got their heads caught off in an instant only leaving one left. The last remaining assassin saw he was the last one standing and try to kill himself. But before he could do any funny business. Jesus rips the assassin's jaw open leaving his lower jaw dangling.

"There we go. Now you can't kill yourself. Lucy are you done with the both of them?" Jesus asked

"Yeah, I'm done. I'll come out now" Lucy came out with two dead bodies with their stomach open

"Now then you are the only one left. So you better tell me who hired you or else" The assassin was scared shitless but decided to shake his head no

"Welp, I guess you leave me no choice" Jesus took out his dagger and lay the assassin's arm on the roof

"I'm going to slice all of your fingers all the way up towards your arm until you tell me who did this" Before starting, Jesus put a cloth in the assassin's mouth to make sure he doesn't wake up people who are sleeping

*Slice*

"MMMMMMM MMMMMMM" The demon assassin was hurting in pain but he would still not tell information and Jesus knows that so he proceeded to Diced up his fingers all the way up to his arm on both sides until he finally stopped. He gave him a healing potion so he won't die of blood loss

"So are you ready to tell me now?" Jesus asked the assassin. He shakes his head no with tears coming down from his cheek

"Well alright, I guess its time to skin out your skin" The assassin's eyes were wide open in fear and try to run away but Lucy caught him and placed him next to Jesus

"Just letting you know this is my first time doing this on a demon so I'll try my best" Jesus then begins to skin the demon in which making him scream in pain but was only muffled

The torturing went on for an hour trying to get information out of the demon but he wouldn't budge so in the end Jesus decided to kill him and left the crime scene making sure to get rid of all evidence leading to him

Before heading back, he decided to take a quick bath to wash all the blood off of him. After he was done with that, he finally was heading back to the Inn and climb through the window where his room is located at

"Finally I'm fucking back at the Inn" Jesus muttered while laying down on his bed with the lights off

"It's sad that I didn't get any info out of that bitch. I only wasted time dealing with him" Jesus was a little bit mad but got over it in an instant

'Welp, I'm heading to bed. I ain't hunting tomorrow since I'm fucking too tired' Jesus covered himself up and was finally heading to bed
