Chereads / Return Of The Strongest Assassin: Assassin's Chronicles / Chapter 5 - Warriors of the Zodiacs.

Chapter 5 - Warriors of the Zodiacs.

Due to the location being fat from the airport, we had to take a taxi to the nearest location possible.

"It's time we are on alert everyone."

We registered into a Hotel, and changed our clothes to formals.

I changed my casual Hawaiian shirt and shorts into a white shirt with a black tie and black formal pants.

And to top it all off, I wore an Overcoat reaching up to my knee.

It wasn't just for fashion, it was so we could carry around important necessities such as bullets and knives with us.

"Well, Is everyone ready? If not, do it quickly, we have no time to spare."

The door to our hotel room was being unlocked, I wonder who it was..

"As I guessed, it's them again..!"

I unlocked the door and pointed a gun outside if anyone was there, but to my surprise, no one was standing infront of me.

"Was that my hallucination?" I asked myself, but then I spotted a drop of sweat on the ground.

I looked up to the ceiling, but there was no one once again.

I knew something was off so I rushed outside with no time to waste.

Jack and Timothy rushed outside, still undressed with just their pants on.

The 2 guys that came with me, were as confused as I was, since this was weird that there were sounds of a door unlocking, and there is no way that a door can unlock on its own, the sounds of the door knob rotating, were as clear as day, all three of us had heard it.

"Oi, Whoever is there, come out at once!" I yelled, but no one had revealed themselves.

After a long time of searching, we eventually gave up, they completed dressing up and we moved to the cave's location through the driver she had assigned us.

"Driver, 578901."

"Correct, let us proceed further with the investigation Mr. Shin Hyeong."

It was the code that she asked us to memorise before going to Germany to ask for clues on the matter, because we didn't have the exact coordinates of the cave.

"Well, memorizing it did come in handy, right John?"

They nodded in agreement, but I knew that they didn't memorise it.

Extremely insincere killers is the killer of killers, that is what gets them killed.

The hunter becomes hunted because he forgot to set up the trap.

After a while, we reached the destination, after that, we had to hike for half of the day before finally reached the cave.

The cave was infront of us, it was covered in miss and webs, bugs and insects had made it their home, and probably some wild animals too.

"Mr. Driver, Stay here, we can take it from here."

"Will you be okay?" He asked.

I nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Tell Mistress to stop worrying over such trivial matters."

We packed up our bags and began exploring the cave.

"Is there really a monster around here? This cave looks exactly like the others."

"No, there must be something here, Mistress herself personally got this information from the classified government of Italy's most secured folder." I replied to Timothy.

"Well, if you say so, let us continue further down the cave."

We reached to a point where even I, doubted if there was anything inside the cave, but I kept moving, because I couldn't do anything since I'm a curious man, I wanted to learn about why and how that creature is targetting us.

"Mr. John, Look over there, something is shining, it looks like a tunnel."

Obviously, I was the first to go down the tunnel, it was small, but big enough to fit me.

I reached the edge of the tunnel, it was a big fall.

I almost injured my legs because I didn't expect that to happen, I yelled to the others to let them know that it's safe.

The others soon came down by themselves, we also set a rope that ran down from the starting point of the tunnel to the huge fall and our landing place.

"Mark this place on your minimap, we are now going deeper after setting up a camp here." I ordered Jack.

They marked the current location, temperature and altitude of our current location, we set up a tent and a fireplace there so it was easier to figure out.

After camping for about 2 hours, it was time we moved on.

"Don't keep things that are not necessary, keep a handgun, a daggar and a bomb and flint to light it with."

We unpacked our things and left it with the camp.

All three of us carried around a flashlight and travelled together till the road split into 3 ways.

It was as if, someone could manipulate the landforms.

All three of us seperated from each other.

We took a final handshake, just incase one of us met their end there.

"Let's move." We ran to the cave and exhaled a deep breath before taking our first step.

After moving down a little down the road, I saw something, that something was something that I couldn't trust my eyes on.

"Oh shit, what the heck is that now..!"

A man in a blue silhouette was floating right in front of me.

He called himself a warrior of the zodiac.

As I thought, someone was manipulating the landforms.

He was the warrior of Sagittarius.

I was a sagittarius myself, born on December 11, 2030.

It was obvious that the others had met similar existences.

"You're the first to discover me, I will be your guardian starting now, You can use my powers at will."

"I don't need a guardian, I want answers, how and why did you do that to only us SS ranks!?"

The man couldn't say anything, he was just like he was an AI (artificial intelligence) programmed to say things only what was given.

"Jack is Taurus and Timothy is a Scorpio, Maybe that is what they encountered." I asked myself.
