A/N: There's many perspectives in this fight, so I added POV for clarifications.
Dale's POV
As I noticed the coordinated attacks of these two assassins that would befall me.
I swung my sword elegantly in the stance of The Way of the Sword, First Form, Equilibrium to block the attack of these two assassins.
I used the short sword to parry the formidable downward slash of the assassin and fend off the swift attack of the shadow.
However, I felt a tinge of pain in my wrist when I parried those menacing attacks.
Because, although the sword technique is the same, the body isn't.
I used this peak-technique at my strongest.
But right now, I have no other choice but to use it in this frail body.
And I don't know what's the consequence after this deadly fight.
"First day in this world and already having a deadly fight, huh."
I used my free left hand to punch the face of the shadow assassin behind my back as I faced him while parrying his deadly attack.
Fuck, I think I've broken some tissues and muscles in my body from that move due to how fast it was. I felt a stinging pain in my body.
But I've endured the pain.
And punch him hard in his face.
Leading to him flying at the walls of the trashcan and waste in this gloomy no-man street.
And after that parry in his strong downward attack with a short sword.
The poison assassin immediately realized that this beggar man that was in front of them and would be their doom if they didn't kill him faster than he killed them.
The assassin quickly readjusted himself and leaped into the open position of the man.
He swung his dagger to perform a side slash to cut the sides of the beggar man.
Seeing this attack, I performed a vertical jump to avoid this deadly slash of the assassin.
And used a simple slash in my jump to cut his chest.
His menacing attack on me leaves him in an open position as I strike this opportunity.
Ending in a stab in his chest that bled in so much blood.
This caused his black suit to be soaked in so much in red blood.
As he stagger in his movements.

Shadow Assassin's POV
After seeing his buddy bleeding, the hidden shadow felt the agony and pain of his friend being stabbed in his chest.
But he calmed himself, hoping that his buddy with survive this fight.
As he waited, still waited, and waited- for the opportunity to finish this beggar man.
As he hides in trashcans and waste where he landed off, waiting for a suitable time to prey on the unnecessary movements of this beggar toward his buddy.
And after seeing his vertical jump, he swiftly moved due to the opportunity of successfully attacking that dirty man.
He menacingly attacked the position of the beggar with his shadow daggers and most powerful shadow technique.
It's named as Shadow Alteration. A Tier 2 Shadow technique that uses 95 of his magic to cast a shadow that has 80% of his abilities. And he can shift his place with this shadow anytime he wants.

Dale's POV
I was shocked at the attack of shadow assassin as I dodged it barely enough to not get my head cut off.
Though I sustained some wounds on my face due to how close it was.
However, I was still okay due to my superb intuition that saved me in that deadly situation.
As I retaliated using my technique and we fought closely one-on-one in the no-man street.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Poison Assassin's POV
"Shit, it hurt so...much."
As I used a torn piece of cloth from my black suit to stop the bleeding in my chest.
"Fuck, I'm getting...weaker."
I immediately knew that my time was near in this life, so I strongly gripped my weapon in my hand that it bled so much.
To stay conscious in this fight and to finish my last mission successfully even if it's the end of my life.
As remembered the orphanage that I supported with the money I earned in this dirty work and even the underworld.
"How can they survive if I died in this place?"
But I remembered the reward with this mission was huge enough for them to be well off for sometime.
So even if it's my last fight, for those children who saved me in the darkest place of abyss, I will die for it.
As I find the strength from those children that I adore and leaped up, seeing my friend and that beggar fighting with each other.
However, I felt that my buddy was losing.
I used this newfound strength to leap and find an opening to deal significant damage to that fucking beggar as I attacked.
The assassin attacked using his best technique known as Trigram Stab.
A unique technique from the underworld that stab the different parts of the opponent's body that will cause death or serious injuries.
This attack uses all of his mana so he only uses it in an impossible fight or do-or-die situation.
"Die...Fucker!"

Dale's POV
The assassin strongly leaped out to me while I was fighting with this assassin.
As I used the momentum of my Way of The Sword, Equilibrium.
The balance of the sword to perform and defend attacks.
And used my body and godly intuition coupled with my vast experience and refined instincts to dodge the menacing attacks of the assassin from many parts of my body from my chest to my head, to my heart, to limbs.
Though I felt a staggering fatigue in my body in dodging this formidable attack, I still swung my sword to his swift dagger to deflect his attack.
And when he's finished with his frantic move, he suddenly stagger in his movements as I used my short sword to hit his poison dagger leading to it being flicked away.
Then, I took the opportunity of him being unarmed and bleeding as I performed a leap and an upward slash to this dying assassin.
That leads to his demise as I cut off his head in an upward way.
That resulted in the splattering of his brain matter in the no-man street after his face are cut off such as the nose, eyes, lips and head being cut apart dissecting in a gory position.
The splattering of blood showered this no-man street like a macabre-show fountain of blood.
"Fuck... He's dead- I'm alone now ain't I?"
The shadow seeing this, widened his eyes as fear and disgust enveloped him due to the tragic death of his friend.
But through his desperation, he performed a maneuver to counter the attack of the beggar asking for his blood and death.
And used his technique to switch with his shadow to kill the woman who was behind the beggar.
"I'll die, didn't I?...but I'll make sure I'm not dying alone!"
As threw his dagger as a distraction and sped up to sneak into the woman's side.
So he can kill the daughter of the Marquis.
Shocked to see this, the dirty beggar uses his god-like intuition to predict where the shadow will appear.
And due to his keen senses that didn't leave him after he transferred to a weak body.
He predicts that the shadow will appear at the woman's side as he immediately performs a downward slash to the place he predicted the shadow will appear.
The shadow appearing on the woman's side receives an unexpected downward slash from the man.
"Huh-------"
Leading to his demise as he is cut off his head in a downward way, leading to the same fate as his buddy- death.
These people died in a tragic dead as their heads are cut off in a gory way.
But after that fight, I experience an unfamiliar sensation of pain and tremendous fatigue in my body.
As the woman asked while panting.
"Are you... o-okay? sir?"
"I'm good... d-don't worry about it."
I weakly said as I experienced difficulty in breathing due to fatigue and from the movement I used in this battle.
And also, my ascended technique that this body couldn't hold.
"What's the... technique that you used? Sir?"
Asked by the woman hopeful about the man who saved her in this deadly situation.
"Just a simple slash- and simple swing I guess," I said weakly.
And when I felt my body staggering and my resolve failing me.
"Shit...my consciousness is leaving me."
As I immediately fall down to the floor of the no-man street.
And I fell asleep in a matter of seconds.
