I stood in front of the assassin I had already anticipate facing a high level assassin. But still standing against this existence, brought forward an immense pressure
'I did not even felt such pressure when I sparred May' I thought
I need to delay for time, currently we need to work together to stop this problem
"Ready Eliza, Eleanor" I asked them as I stared at the enemy
Both Eliza and Eleanor nodded and looked at the enemy both solemn
Third POV
"come on kittens I would give you a chance" The assassin maid said playfully as she waved at us
"Don't underestimate you filthy assassin " Eleanor said clearly pissed at the laid back attitude of the assassin
She charged with her spear her technique ruthless and fierce as she kept on attacking, but all of this was nimbly dodged her attack
Eleanor was not one to give up she used her family unique spearmanship it was like a dragon waving in her hand and used
Spear style: Rising Dragon
a green dragon materialized at her spear as she thrusted with her full force at the assassin, but the maid was a professional she took out her weapons a pair of daggers that she began to use
Blade Art: Cross Cut
she also used her art against Eleanor but i guess it was the most basic one and both collided fiercely leading to rubble everywhere, clearly the maid had the upper hand
"Good very good play with me a bit more" the assassin said clearly excited about fighting
"Cast spell: Water bomb"
"Cast spell: Thunder Javelin"
two distinct spells were casted at the same time and attacked her, it would seem she was not expecting our attack that lead to her hastily trying to block, but it would seem it only manages to damage her clothes
"Damn That was my favorite dress" clearly she was upset
multi cast: water bomb + Earth spear Eliza intoned
her magic brimming to the limit as she was preparing to release a powerful attack, the maid was going to stop it before it was completed but
Cast Spell: Hypnotic Wave Vergil casted at the right time
the assassin went into a momentary pause as if she was cast in illusion, but it was quickly broken, however a momentary flaw was enough as Vergil casted another spell
Cast Spell: Thunder Paralysis
this spell quickly hit her , she has just broken from illusion but a strong feeling of restraint came from her body but she resisted again, but he has delayed enough
"NOW" Vergil shouted to Eliza
Eliza immediately released her magic, a large intricate 3-layer magic circle appeared before her, the large water compressed to a very small point and multiple pointed spear ready to display there might as it gushed towards it target
"BOOOM" A deafening explosion came on contact
"huf..... huf.... huf...." Eliza panted as she just spent a large amount of her mana
"Eliza are you alright " Eleanor came to support her as Eliza
Vergil still kept vigilant as he nervously waited for smoke to clear
When the smoke cleared we saw the maid her clothes almost torn as her fair body was visible and also some minor skin wounds, the blood trickled form her skin, It would seem we have managed to hit her bit it was only a minor injury
"You ingrates..."She said clearly furious, she could not believe her defenses were broken by mere junior mages
"Enough... playtime is over now" She began releasing her bloodlust
Vergil POV
As the assassin release her aura it felt like daggers pointed as I felt my hair stand and my hand began to shake I began to see the blood she had on her hand as it martialized and began to slowly edge at our willpower, I knew If I was trapped into this illusion I will surely die. I used my prana and mana to allow me to shatter the illusion, my back drenched in cold sweat
'How many people has she killed' I though as was still palpitating from the brunt of her bloodlust
I saw that both Eleanor and Eliza were shivering I quickly came in front of them to block the murderous intent for them as I faced her
Cast spell: Barrier I intoned as a translucent barrier enveloped the two ladies
"Hoo..... You have got guts I will give you that little brat" The assassin said as she was surprised I can breakthrough her blood lust
"As you senior I will give you a lesson, when an aura user reaches an higher level the have an opportunity to comprehend an ability" she said as she licked her blood from the wounds she received
As she finished her sentence she disappeared yes she vanished
'dammit its her Aura Ability' I thought as I began to search for quickly I felt something and I almost immediately reacted, I began sprinting towards Eliza as she was at her weakest
But when I had only turned I already saw her there
"lets first get rid you Little magic girl" She said as she thrusted her dagger into the barrier as it easily shattered
Third POV
Both Eliza and Eleanor could not understand what was happening they clearly felt they were in a quagmire full of blood and were unable to move forward as they felt sinking, but then a Body blocked the incoming blood as they slowly snapped out of the illusion
It was Vergil who blocked the aura
"Ww...what had Hhh..happened" Eliza asked clearly still shivering
"It was her bloodlust" Eliza said as she had experienced this from her trainer
"and Vergil stood in front of us and took the brunt" Her eyes complicated whom she called weak was currently standing strong
"As you senior I will give you a lesson when an aura user reaches an higher level the have an opportunity to comprehend an ability" the heard the voice of the assassin
'oh no she clearly using her aura ability' she said as he tried holding her spear t defend but was unable ah her hand still quivering, she could not even stand as her legs gave out
The assassin appeared in front of the shield as she thrusted at the shield her target clearly Eliza
with her attack, the magic shield broke into pieces
"quite the sturdy barrier I must say but its useless"
Eliza saw the blade almost flashing before her yet she could not do a thing
Eleanor also looked at the situation her eyes full of despair as she her new friend at daggers end
But then something incredible happened she saw Vergil supposed to be standing was clearly in front of Eliza as the dagger penetrate his arm
Pat pat pat
The blood from Vergil began falling on the ground
"I wont let you" Vergil said as he gritted suffering from immense pain
Multi Cast: Greater Fireball +Lightning Javelin Vergil intoned as the magic instantly appeared in front of the assassin
Boom the magic hit at point blank
and the maid was quickly blasted back
"Quite the nuisance you are.... Why cant you just die" The maid again enraged as to why her attacked failed
"Quickly take Eliza and step back" Vergil said his voice full of pain as he held his arm
"Cast spell: Minor heal" Vergil said as the blood stopped flowing
Vergil POV
Pain Pain so much pain I had to use my Flash step in order to save Eliza but still The dagger injured my arm
"Quickly take Eliza and step back" I ordered them as I gritted through the pain
I looked at the assassin and saw that she had not taken much damage except from a certain skin trauma I quickly cast a minor healing spell on myself to stop the bleeding but it was only limited to that
I knew I had to strike first
"Cast Spell: Shadow bind" I intoned clearly intending to bind her
"I will kill you, you puny little insect" She was clearly still in anger
'good now her focus is on me' I thought
"Why are you doing this? " I asked her trying to figure out her plans
"why you ask.. Ill tell you after meeting in hell" She said clearly sane enough not to give information
She again disappeared but my instinct was still able to capture it as I was able to dodge by rolling to my side
she clearly using her full force as the brunt of her attack destroyed the ground beneath me
'Close to close It would seem I need to use that' I though clearly knowing I could not defeat her
Multi Cast: Greater Fireball +Lightning Javelin I said
"using the same trick twice will not work" the assassin mocked said clearly now on her guard
but I also knew that
Spell Fusion: Thunder-Fire Storm I intoned
The spell merged and formed one my most power full spells, the assassin clearly not expecting this was this time hit hard as I concentrated the spell on her previous wounds
"Ahhhh" She screamed in pain
Its now taking the chance I flash stepped towards her and took out umbra and connected to both my mana and prana
Void style: Parallel thrust I used my aura arts clearly as she would not anticipate this
The umbra clearly shimmering with all my power As I struck in a desperate attempt to kill her. the sword broke her defenses and stabbed towards her heart
'stab' clearly the sound of flesh ripping by a blade was heard
I stood as the sword completely impaled her but it still missed the target, she had clearly moved at the critical moment to prevent the strike from reaching the heart
"Brat... Who are you" she said as blood trickled through her mouth
"Think about it in hell" I said as I pulled the sword and opened the distance
I pointed the sword at her as I nervously looked at her I was running out of options
suddenly I began to feel dizzy as I almost lost my balance
"hehe.. my daggers is enchanted with a deadly poison" She said as she laughed at my misery
damn I should have avoided the blade
Slowly she stood up with difficulty still feeling pain from my attacks
I began to use prana to slowly control the poison from my wound
"So what, your plan has already failed" I said slowly as I could sense the guard arriving at our location
"You are good, little devil I believe we will meet again" She knew that she has lost her chance to kill us as she also sensed the guards.
"STOP" I said as I casted another spell
"Cast spell: Firestorm" I tried to stop her
The fireball went toward her but she was able to dodge the spell as she vanished
I watched as she disappeared I can not take it any more as i used my sword to hold on
"Huff.....Huff.....Huff....." I panted as I felt burning inside my body
"Young Lady are you alright?" I heard the voice probably one of the guards
"Vergil are you alright" this was Eliza as she came to me tremblingly from the experience
"I ... am.. fine... " I said but soon I fell to ground unable to hold as the physical and mental fatigue caught on
"Vergil ... Vergil.... wake up Vergil" the last sound I heard as I my vision shrouded in the darkness
