[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for binding to My Assassination System. With the system, the host will be enabled to be a supreme being that causes terror to everyone's hearts the moment that they hear your name.]
[Through missions granted by the system, the host should be able to become the most formidable assassin in the world, with an organization that strikes fear in the hearts of every evildoer.]
Nathan was thoroughly dumbfounded, not understanding anything that was going on. What the heck was the system? This was the first time that he was hearing that there was a system that could talk.
Of course, it was not as if the word system was new to him, considering that he had already been hearing it being used several times, such as the transportation system and so on. But what the heck was this so called my assassination system?
Just as Nathan was trying to understand what was going on, and the source of the voice together with the holographic screen that had appeared in front of him, something else suddenly happened. He felt like he was being sucked somewhere, but he could not understand where the force of suction was coming from.
Suddenly, the golden light that was surrounding him, keeping the water away from him suddenly began shining brighter. Then in the next moment, Nathan who had been blinded and forced to close his eyes suddenly felt that the world around him was spinning.
But before he could even understand anything, or try to get himself out of the situation that he had gotten in, he suddenly felt that everything had returned to calm.
…
On the other hand, the count and his men were looking down into the river, trying to see the assassin that was well known within the country drown to his own death.
The count felt that it was a pity that a talented assassin as Nathan was dying here. But what could he do? He had been given a task of eliminating him, and he had to make sure that he did so. Of course, he also understood that he was just a pawn in the entire scheme of things, and if information about what had happened here spread out, he was surely going to be in deep trouble.
But of course, he did not believe that the information was going to get out of this place considering that all the people that he had brought over this time for the mission were extremely loyal to him. So, why would they reveal the information about him and what they had done here? If they did something like that, they would definitely be the first ones to die.
Just after an entire minute had gone by, and the count thought that it was finally time for Nathan who had been thrown deep into the water to die, a golden light suddenly erupted from the bottom of the river.
This was something that they had not expected to happen, and the count could not help but feel his heart beating intensely. For some reason, he felt that there was something that was extremely wrong about this situation.
Immediately, he ordered the men around him, "Get the heck inside that river. Make sure that you get Nathan, and make sure that he dies. If he manages to get out of here, believe me, you are definitely going to pay for it!"
Looking at the hysterical count, those men, although hesitant, still jumped into the river. The moment that they got in, they began diving deep, while watching the surroundings for any danger.
Although they did not understand why it was that the count thought that Nathan might actually be the reason why the light had suddenly erupted, but they did not believe so. After all, what could a terribly injured assassin do? Additionally, from the light, it did not seem like it was from a human, right?
Nevertheless, they continued diving downwards, considering that the river was quite deep. Additionally, they kept moving with the flow of the water, considering that it was going to be impossible for Nathan to be able to maintain the same position in a moving river.
But suddenly, a problem erupted. A few of the men was bleeding from the injuries that they had suffered during a fight with Nathan. And right now, the blood began diffusing into the water.
Then in the next moment, the group that had dived into the water suddenly felt killing intent that was rapidly approaching them. Immediately, they understood that danger was here. They prepared themselves to fight against the enemy, but suddenly one of the most snapped into two by a crocodile that had appeared out of nowhere.
The faces of the remaining people was filled with extreme horror and fear, as they looked at the crocodile that was as huge as 10 m long. They understood that a mutant crocodile had already arrived, and it seemed that it had been attracted by the scent of blood.
Of course this was a basic thing that they knew about, it was just that they had been ordered by the count to jump into the water, and that was the reason why they did not care much about the injuries that they had suffered. But now, it seemed that they had just made a terrible mistake.
But even then, a few of them could not help but wonder why it was that Nathan had actually not been attacked. He was actually the one that was bleeding the most compared to all those that had jumped into the water.
Nevertheless, the group was not given a chance of thinking much, before the crocodile began eliminating each and every one of them slowly but at the same time, at a speed that they could not react to.
Those that had managed to survive a few seconds of course would not continue standing there, waiting for the crocodile to attack them. Instead, they began diving deeper, considering that the crocodile was on top of them, and there was no way out. They could only continue holding their own breaths, while trying to look for a way out.
But even then, they were not capable of competing with the crocodile when it came to swimming, considering that the crocodile was a good swimmer. So, in no time at all, all those that had jumped into the water had actually been killed, except for one of them who had already had his waist snapped.
The crocodile on the other hand did not chase him, but instead, it just allowed him to continue sinking deeper into the water. It did not seem to care much about him, but even then, it just kept on following him closely.
On the other hand, the count was waiting anxiously for the group that had jumped into the water to come back. But suddenly, he saw that the color of the water had suddenly turned red. At that moment, he suddenly remembered that a few of the men that had jumped into the water were actually injured.
"Completely useless! Damn it I forgot about crocodiles being present within this river. And why is it that Nathan was not eaten by the crocodile? It seems that I made a big mistake by thinking that I would see an assassin drowning." The count began speaking incoherently.
Then in the next moment, he looked at the group that was remaining on top, those who had suffered graver injuries. Of course, they could not swim with the condition that they were in. But even then, the count looked at them and said, "Get inside there and make sure that you kill that brat. Otherwise, it is not just going to be me, but even your entire families are going to be eliminated if that brat actually manages to survive."
The four people that were remaining felt a chill down their spines. But even then, although they were injured, thinking about the families that they had left behind, they could only jump into the water even with injuries, knowing that they were going to die anyway.
After all, with the interest that they had suffered, it was impossible for them to run away from a crocodile, especially the one that had been actually capable of dealing with the entire group that had jumped before them.
The crocodile on the other hand was just about to finish off the other guy when it suddenly detected the scent of fresh meat coming into the water. Thinking that it had already dealt with this one, and it would just come back to get him, it turned around and rushed towards the top, to deal with those who had just jumped into the water.
The man who had managed to survive was only in possession of his upper body with a single arm and his head, with a waste that was revealing his internal organs.
As he descended down, he finally saw the source of the golden light. He could not help but wonder what was going on. But as the light began fading, he realized that Nathan was actually there, and he seemed completely okay.
At this moment, he understood that they were in great trouble. But even before he could continue thinking about the trouble that was about to come, something that he had never seen happening suddenly happened.
Nathan who had just looked in his direction suddenly disappeared into a thin air. Could it be that this was another skill that he learned? If that was the case, where was it that he had never utilized it? Or could it be that he was waiting for the crocodile to deal with them considering that he could not deal with them personally?
In the end, the man actually died with several questions in his mind from excessive bleeding and suffocation. But even then, there was nobody that he could share what he had seen with.
