In the dark of night, a young woman covered her body with black clothes, her clothing was tight and flexible.
She hid her hair with a hat and covered her face with a scarf leaving her room through the window.
As she fell into the air her eyes sharpened, she soon disappeared.
Misaki, District A, Residential Area, 3:40 am.
The residential area was located near the economic center of Misaki, covered by high walls where luxurious houses flaunted, the streets were lit and not a soul was seen, men in their residences watched the area for intruders.
A shadow infiltrated a large estate, its figure slipping through the guards approaching the mansion. Her memories were clear pinpointing the information she had.
The victim is a 20-year-old girl named Kaome King, her father is from the Republic of China and her mother is of mixed race, even though she is young, she is an unscrupulous woman who has killed two of my workers for fun, because of that, I I have been forced to entrust his murder to you, he assured you that you will have no problem entering.
Its security is based on stationary guards without the ability to perceive energy, the problem comes when you get to the house, there is not much I can tell you there, it has several floors, the servants sleep on the first one and the location of the main rooms is unknown , the only warning I can give you is to be careful of the girl's bodyguards, those men are different from us, you should already know what.
Sarah focused on two points, the bodyguards and the house.
"I know that killing her directly is impossible, I need a plan B" thought the young woman taking a look at the mansion, it was big, with ostentatious golden decorations.
She walked close to the walls arriving at the car warehouse, there were three guards, one was from the Republic of China, she could tell by her clothes.
"It's a shame, I would have liked to just kill the girl and leave" with a blue flash she disappeared.
Without warning, the three men disappeared.
Inside the mansion, car warehouse, 4:10 am.
The young woman left the car warehouse when she prepared her plan B, she had some wounds on her body and blood flowed from her hundred, killing the guardian of the Republic of China had cost her, although in the real world it was seconds, in another place it was 30 After a few minutes of fighting, she was worried that she had been discovered, but after spending a few minutes hiding, no one came to inspect, so she decided to continue her plan.
Breathing slowly, she used the energy of the environment, she merged it with the water of the environment, causing her little by little to begin to receive information about the mansion, the location of people, what they were doing and, above all, where her target was. .
She connected her route from the warehouse to the room of a woman she thought was suspicious and she disappeared in a blue flash.
Keen senses noted a disturbance in the air, hiding in the dark, she waited for the intruder.
Main room, south side of the mansion, third floor, 4:20 am.
A black silhouette appeared in a large room, a woman with jet-black hair rested on the bed, at first glance she represented an ethereal beauty, it was difficult to think of her twisted fame hidden in her, Sarah noticed eyes watching her, she smiled, stabbing the dagger towards him. woman's breast.
Her victim's eyes snapped open, the surroundings around her distorted and when she came to her senses she was in a white room.
Her target was hidden behind a corpulent man, he had long hair tied in a ponytail, his slanted black eyes with that ceremonial presence made him look dignified.
Sarah seriously observed her enemy, she understood the way of fighting of the warriors of the Chinese Republic, they were fearsome, carelessness meant death.
"It's a pity that I also represent death" Sarah thought.
Killing style number 1: shallow cut.
In a blur of her, her presence disappeared, the raven-haired woman looked for her, a murderous intent came from her side, something pulled her away from the attack, hearing a clash of metals.
A dagger and a short sword resisted each other, Sarah watched her opponent in her eyes, he did the same with bloodlust.
"Miss Kaome, get out of here and escape with the remaining bodyguards, I'll take care of her" the woman nodded nervously giving the man a kiss on the cheek, he didn't flinch at the gesture, seeing out of the corner of his eye how she was escaping.
Sarah thrust hard at the dagger, the friction of the weapons sparking, but neither moved an inch, the man had a lot of strength.
They both jumped apart, Sarah gathering energy, but it dispersed in her hands.
"Your tactics will not work here, give up and die" the man attacked sharply, the young woman stepped back attentively, her eyes kept vigilant in the murderous movements, her weapon moved in coordination with the enemy's weapon, both sparked with each blow, their ways of attacking and defending made the battle look like a dance, one that represented death.
Some cuts appeared on the young woman's skin, the man dripped blood from her abdomen, none of them gave up.
Soon something transparent extended from the guy's back, Sarah moved away enough to see how the floor where she had been was covered with cracks, a rumble came later making the scene more dangerous.
"You're good, you dodged something you couldn't see, are you some envoy of the Republic? Maybe the organization? Whatever your reason I won't forgive your insolence" the air around the man moved slightly, Sarah felt giant semi-transparent hands reach out from behind her the arms of his enemy.
Giant's Martial Art: Furious Fists.
The fists lashed out at the young woman, she avoided them from the side, her feet were well coordinated avoiding the enemy closing movements.
At one point in the battle the young woman decided to jump to avoid a grip of those semi-transparent hands, however a sharp presence flew towards her as if it had predicted her move.
She wanted to use energy to deflect the attack, but she couldn't.
"Dammit!" Snarling she used her dagger to counter the attack, the blow knocked her body off balance, she spun in the air trying to steady herself, however something of hers grabbed her feet.
She in a jolt she crashed to the floor.
"I won't let you escape! Die!" yelled the man making seals with his left hand.
Giant's Martial Art: Spirit Blast.
The arm that was holding Sarah's foot swirled towards her, covering her body with the semi-transparent presence.
In an instant the surroundings around her glowed brightly.
Killing style number 2: Rising Swirl.
An explosion arose in the room, the dust covered the surroundings causing the earth to tremble, the man approached to inspect, the dust made it impossible to know anything.
In the midst of the confusion a whip of water caught on her left arm.
"What?!" she cried out in surprise, a glow spreading from the dust, she jumped back before a bluish flash cut in her direction, a shadow appeared behind her.
"Did she survive my spirit blast?! Even using Chi to protect herself she would have ended up badly hurt, unless...!" Her eyes narrowed.
Her enemy didn't seem to be a simple assassin.
Assassination Style #2: Extended Drill.
With a movement that defied inertia the man flew through the air spinning on his own, Sarah's attack came out of the dagger in a beam of concentrated energy, she immediately understood that she had missed.
When she looked back at the man, he was breathing heavily, his semi-transparent arms embedded in the floor.
"He used her Chi to move her body through the air, what an annoying guy, if only he could use energy" thought the young woman looking at her hands helplessly, no matter how much she concentrated, everything she gathered dispersed.
The chinese warriors had that ability, it was annoying to deal with, the previous guard had been strong, but he was able to beat him using his styles, instead this one seemed to have a fighting way that was difficult to counter with fighting ways like styles.
"Should I use it?" the young woman thought watching her opponent prepare "If I do it I will give myself away, it would be a problem if he manages to escape, but not using it could prolong the battle in his favor, what should I do" the young woman's eyes narrowed when her opponent manipulated his semi-transparent arms, palms together was a sign that she had seen before in a previous battle against the guard at the auto warehouse.
It meant that she was concentrating, or so she remembered.
"I don't have time to hesitate, I must finish it and see if my target is dead" she decided she started her counterattack.
With a blue glow it disappeared, the man stood firm on the floor extending his hand, the young woman appeared a few meters away swinging the dagger, she felt that something had stopped her speed, she quickly changed the form of the attack and preferred to defend herself.
Two bodies collided and Sarah backed away from her smiling, a thread of energy connecting her fingers to her opponent's neck.
"King of Hell Killing Style: Thread of Life" the girl disappeared in a flash and with her body in motion she appeared with her back to her opponent with the dagger glowing blue, her opponent's face was pale, but she soon regained consciousness. color, they almost cut his throat, he had narrowly dodged it.
Although Sarah couldn't use outside energy, some styles didn't need that energy to fight.
The man finished concentrating starting his counterattack.
Giant's Martial Art: Burst of Furious Fists.
Sarah's body became heavy, she with difficulty dodged the attack Quick from the semi-transparent hands of her opponent, despite her efforts she received severe damage to her body, resentful she looked for an opportunity to get away.
She recalled everything she knew about her opponent to find a way to escape her blows.
"The warriors of the Chinese Republic are known to control something called Chi that is expelled from their bodies, they use it to affect their opponent, it can slow down and weaken attacks, as well as counteract the use of energy" his eyes sharpened when he got used to his opponent's attacks, he immediately started to deflect the blows, the man frowned in annoyance.
The battle intensified, the girl connected her dagger several times, but due to her opponent's chi her attacks were repelled, the fight seemed endless, Sarah felt her body worn out, she must finish soon .
Noticing the young woman's complicated look, the man smiled.
"You have lost, the lady has managed to escape, it was your mistake to think that you could enter this house and fulfill your objective" he said before intensifying the Chi around him, Sarah cursed under her breath taking more damage, at this rate she would lose.
"That's enough, I have no way to beat him without using it, I have to make sure I don't let him escape or he'll complicate things" thought the girl concentrating.
She dodged several attacks and catching her opponent off guard cut her through her semi-transparent hands.
The man recoiled in surprise, Sarah did the same, she had used something that gave her away, without being able to use energy to recover she was breathing heavily, her muscles were tense, blood dripped from her torn clothes, her skin had bruises that stung, although it was not worse than other battles, if it was troublesome.
She sent a killing intent that disturbed the man's concentration, he was deep in thoughts of her scheming how to run away.
Now that she knew who she was, fighting became useless, someone like him was no match for people like her.
She heard a voice coming from her enemy.
"Not everything is about killing with your hands, that is the first rule that I follow in my work, you had already lost since you became my target.
"Final assassination style: first position, six cuts of the funeral path" the body of the young woman disappeared from sight, the hiss of the air being cut off was heard.
"Your technique won't hurt me, the energy doesn't work against me Chi" said the nervous man controlling the power inside him, when he would block that attack he would escape the barrier.
Sarah smiled.
"This technique doesn't use energy, but attributes" the man's eyes cleared, he hadn't been wrong when he saw the attack from before, really she was one of them, six deep cuts tore the man's body, he screamed barely understanding what had happened passed, then one last cut removed his head from its place.
The man felt many emotions swirling, his eyes shone brightly wishing his beloved was safe, then he closed his eyes.
Sarah cleaned the blood from her dagger by biting her lips, that guy had forced her to fight seriously, if everything had gone wrong, she would have had to run away from Misaki with no chance to return, it was her fault for not having been stronger.
She took one look at the severed body on the floor, she walked over to check what she had, she put aside the weapons taking a wallet and some cigarettes, then she left the barrier.
Outside District A, a house for rent in Area C, Misaki City, 10:20 am.
">An accident occurred in District A, the main victim was a young woman from an important family in the city, it seems that the main cause of death was the failure of the brakes, she died crashing into other cars, no companion survived< that girl surprises me more and more" thought Karin after reading the newspaper, she was waiting for her companions sitting in an armchair in the living room, they were still outside.
Due to the attack on the property of an important man, district A had been put on alert, they had already gone to district C at dawn on the orders of their leader, the day before they had decided, district C was safe according to the information from Tama, and if they stayed in B they would be discovered, it was the most guarded district for having the only land entrance to Misaki, in parallel, going to District D would have been suicide, that place was the domain of a dangerous gang, and if the data was true, it belonged to the enemy of the Earth relic.
A woman with long hair in a ponytail entered the house, leaving her things in the living room, she went to her partner and sat down in another chair with a tired face.
"Bad day?" Karin asked smiling.
"Terrible" answered the other woman breathing slowly, she needed a good rest after her departure, however she knew that she would not pass.
A third silhouette entered the house stealthily, she took her time changing, healing her wounds, then she came to where her friends were.
"Finally you're back, we were thinking of going to look for you" Karin said jokingly, Sarah handed her the box of cigarettes, she took them excitedly, then she saw the bruises and cuts on her partner's body making a provocative whistle, the woman in the long hair closed his eyes.
Sarah glared at Karin before speaking.
"Tama go to rest, then we'll talk about the information you have" said the girl, she took a seat in another chair leaving the three forming a triangle, Tama shook her head, opening her eyes.
"Even if I'm tired, what I have to say is important" she said, Karin looked at her curiously.
"Terrible day? Liar!" criticized the short-haired woman.
"Speak," Sarah said.
"I have clues that the headquarters is going to be attacked" the woman spoke with serious eyes, the young woman opened her eyes.
Karin gulped withdrawing her complaint from before, it was definitely a bad day with news like that.
The young woman's worried face said what she thought, she was afraid of that possibility, that idea had come up when they had thought about the power that the companies were acquiring, it was a matter of time before they messed with the organization, now that there were clues, she couldn't stay still, she had to go get her aunt, before moving she noticed that there was something else to tell.
"What else do you know?" Sarah asked, she had some suspicions after reading the reports that her aunt had given her about her brother, she didn't understand how she got that information so fast, but now she imagined that the Chief had done something wrong to get it .
"The criminal gang that is fighting against the relic of the land, I was investigating their territory and I saw them prepare to fight, from what little I discovered, they seem to have been hired by a powerful man, someone named Chen Mu king " she said swallowing saliva.
Sarah darkened her gaze and Karin's face was shocked.
They all knew about the mission Sarah had done.
Chen Mu King, Kaome King's father, for Sarah everything made sense.
The others looked at each other with suspicion in her eyes.
"Auntie, what did you do?" The young woman whispered with sad eyes, thunder was heard in the distance.
Nobody wanted to say anything else, however acting was important, one of them spoke.
"What will we do?" Karin asked, Tama got up walking to the kitchen, she was going to have an energy drink.
"We'll get the Boss out of here, she's in serious danger" Karin's voice made Karin nod, she ran to get ready, Tama followed her finishing her drink.
Sarah hastened her recovery using energy, although she was not in good condition she had something urgent to do.
In the city it began to rain, lightning flashed and the sky turned gloomy.
