It wasn't the first time assassins have targeted me. However, compared to last time, this time I'm not alone. I turned to Princess Hazel, oblivious to the fact that assassins had set their sights on us.
'There are sixteen presences, with half at 9th-stage and the rest between 5th and 8th stages...'
With their formation and the composition of their assault group, I guess they have quite a fair chance of taking my life. Well, that's if they could take me by surprise, though.
Of course, I can't simply call the girls here, asking for backup. If I did that, with the large fluctuations in space caused by teleportation, the assassins would quickly notice and retreat. To avoid that, I decided to do it a little bit differently.
"Fang, Ember, listen..."
