Chereads / The Silver killer / Chapter 3 - My name is Sixth

Chapter 3 - My name is Sixth

The world of Altania is a world of three continents, the land of humans, the land of Auris and finally the island of ancestors which is a giant island separate the two continents (the land of humans and the land of the Auris) and plays the line between them.

The island covered mountains, rivers and forests, although they call it an island, it can be called a third continent.

"The island of ancestors", so the Auris and the rest of their races call it, they believe that the spirits of their ancestors inhabit the giant oak tree, this holy tree is also the key to find the road that lead to the hidden tomb of the founding kings.

On the other hand, humans call it the island of the black wall, a metaphor for the black mountain on its borders.

Due to its magnitude, the island contains a huge amount of natural resources of herbs and minerals, in addition to hidden ruins, therefore it has always been coveted by humans.

And when beliefs conflict with interests, there must be a conflict, and conflicts generate wars, wars generate grudges, and so the cycle of war for control of the island continues.

But in the middle of all this chaos there is a mystery that has not been revealed, in every war the Auris always had the upper hand, but always they seek for truce first with making great concessions even though they are winning , and of course the human beings do not miss such an opportunity, without learn the lesson they always pacify and then betray.

But for the first time in decades, the tables have turned and humans managed to win and occupy the entire island, but unlike the Auris they did not show mercy.

They left their monster, the master of poisons, known as the epidemic, spreading destruction and corruption in the earth.

He killed everything in his way children, elders, nobody was spared from his

madness he was killing just for fun.

But at the end, the magic turned against the magician, and the monster turned against his masters, and he made them taste the poison they glorified.

After the square was emptied, the eye of the epidemic, a nickname for those who leave nothing behind them appointed himself a king of the island of ancestors.

Days passed, neither humans could forgot the betrayal they lived in the island, nor the

Auris forgot their victims, surrounded by this number of enemies, the new king decided to create his own assassin squad, believing that attack is the best way to defense is attack.

He gathered the strongest and smartest orphans and took over their training himself, and

with his previous experiences on humans he was able to enhance their abilities, to form a squad of six young men who became his eyes that he spies and his arms that oppress his enemies and everyone who intends to stand up to him

These young people, although their unique skills, they were not the strongest in the world of Altania, but they made a name for themselves, their work focused on sneaking into the land of enemies, causing sedition and treacherous killing,

whether by poison or other ways, they were the most proficient in dirty work.

Of the six there was a hybrid.

Half Oris and half human, born with an enviable body, endured all the surgeries to strengthen his body, and carried out every task asked of him until he and "the epidemic" his master considered two sides of the same coin, and his name was sixth.

----------------

At the western port of the island, a young brown man in his twenties stood with pointed ears, dressed in black as he stared at the passengers disembarking from the ship that had just arrived, as soon as he glimpsed who was looking

for him he shouted saying:

"Little one?"

A young man with slightly red skin, black hair waved his hand and as soon as he set foot on the

ground of the port, he disappeared to appear standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Second brother, you came to receive me by yourself,"

The young man with the sharp ears gave him cold looks

"Sixth, stop your absurdities and go ahead of me, I'm here to make sure you arrive at the on time, and don't mention my brother's word on your tongue."

The red-skinned young man stretched out his lower lip like a child expressing his sadness and stepped forward at a slow pace leading the way while mumbling

"And I thought you missed me and came to receive me, how mean, why do you refuse to be a family, doesn't calling us by numbers bother you?"

The sixth did not finish his speech until he felt a killing intent behind him and before he even turned, a sword had pierced his back, to hear then a sarcastic laugh at his ear

"All these years I have been wondering if you are stupid, calling me my brother and bringing me gifts and asking me for advice, and no matter how much I deter you and insult you, you are just like glue that sticks to me."

A red line came out of the young man's mouth saying in a weak voice

"It was the only way ..."

Before asking what he meant, his eyes widened as he saw the body he had stabbed turn into a black shadow before disappearing.

'An illusion, but impossible when you fall under its influence'

He felt something sharp stab his back and then he heard a whisper in his ear

"Gifts are the only way to keep you under my illusion they all contain hidden magic circles, I mean, look, the moment I overlooked you, you stabbed me, with my own gift, man at least chose another sword."

The sixth completed his sentence and pushed his knife to sting his back, as soon as the elve felt the dagger cutting his flesh, he activated the technique of hardening the body to stop the dagger from reaching his spinal cord and jump away while cursing and cursing

"you have been throwing your magic on me all this times, I know all your games, your legendary missions and killing the leaders of the Auris are all nonsense, they are all alive. you betrayed us and betrayed our master"

"Betrayal, between us this word does not make sense, we are a group of killers found to protect its crazy leader.

Betrayal is relative Take an example when I told the first brother that his girlfriend was killed by the third brother, he thanked me while the third called me a traitor"

While the sixth was elaborating on his talk, the young man with the sharp ears was smiling to say

"I planned to kill the third too, my intuition wasn't wrong, I never trusted you, but you know what your fatal flaw is, you really like to hear yourself talking, thank you for giving me time to recover and gather my energy."

The second released a crazy aura, enough to terrify any opponent, but the sixth's expressions didn't change.

"Did you recover so quickly, and I wanted to talk with even more, because I will not see you anymore, say hello to the third brother for me"

The body of the second had completely turned bronze and his face had sarcastic features

"Do you think you have a chance against me, or will your poisoned dagger will affect m...."

Before he could finish speaking, his vision became blurry and he felt weakness in his knees, his eyes widened, not believing what was happening to his body.

'Is poisoned impossible, of the six of us I am the most resistant to toxins'

"Impurities. ..." The voice of the sixth came explaining

"It's the impurities that have been accumulating in your body for years, as you can see, magic circles are not the only thing in the sword, the fist of the sword also contains a poison that used to prevent your body from getting rid of the impurities of the energy pills that you constantly eat."

In front of his eyes, he was waving the dagger with which he had previously stabbed, and he continued to explain.

"This dagger does not contain poison, but an antidote to the poison in your body that will release all impurities at once, oh no irony, the strongest body resistant to poisons will die with an antidote"

The second was staring at his killer, wondering how long he was planning to kill him, how

long he was poisoning him, only to be answered by his killer, who knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Don't look at me like that, the poison in the handle of the sword wouldn't have killed you, nor even held you back from your training, I was just taking my precautions,

I know very well that the leader would not have sent you, you volunteered for this you must face the consequences."

The light was extinguished from the eyes of the second and his breath began to dim, he knew for sure that this was his last breath but he kept smiling

"It doesn't matter I'll wait for you in hell, you little."

"Yes, wait for me a little bit yet, I know you don't like the company of the third brother, so I will send the rest soon."

At this moment black shadows arrived at the place and surrounded him.
