Instantly the three hooded men stood guard and held their weapons tightly as a dark gray aura came out of them and a powerful pressure emanated around them.
Caín- so that all are grade silver, ¿ that is a force a little excessive to kill a brat who is only in degree brass do not believe? - He said mockingly as he made a grabbing gesture with both hands and one of his rings shone releasing two sabers, one in each of his hands
Both were identical to the one he used before and he held them one leaning to the ground and the other pointing towards the sky behind him while a light gray aura surrounded him along with the spear under his feet causing it to make cracking sounds as if it were about to. to break
Cain- be careful with an ambush from the surroundings - he whispered in a voice so low that only Lily behind him heard it before he shot towards the hooded men with the momentum of the spear and it flew into the air by the rebound force
The three hooded men were prepared for the attack and reacted instantly attacking it from three different angles to finish it in an instant, an attack from the right, one from the left, and one from above.
In addition to the hooded of the great sword, the other two used simple swords of the average size of around 1 meter, but thanks to this they were faster in their attack and arrived first attacking Cain from the sides who were rushing towards them and the attack of the great sword was a second behind falling with a great momentum
Cain had already rushed to the attack range of the two hooded with his two sabers cutting with great momentum and surrounded by a strong light gray aura, he moved the trajectories of his swords so that they collided with the two side attacks while they closed aiming at the attack of the hooded great sword.
When the sabers collided with the two swords at the sides they seemed to gain a strong explosive force out of nowhere and repelled the two swords, making the two hooded backs as they closed both towards the attack of the great sword and colliding with it at the same time.
With a loud noise of metal against metal, Cain felt the great force of the sword's weight along with the hooded man's aura colliding with his two sabers, although normally he would win without problems in the collision, his two sabers lost a lot of momentum rejecting the attack of the Two other hooded assassins earlier and had brought him into a disadvantageous position in this collision, but he still smiled coldly looking directly at the hooded assassin of the great sword.
He then did something that surprised him so much that he hardly reacted to the sight of it, releasing his grip on his swords as he nimbly turned to the side and leaped, these two swords flew to the sides out of reach and at the same time dodging the great sword. by a hair as he jumped over the hooded head
Because of how quickly everything had happened, the hooded assassin did not have time to stop his sword cut and could only look up to see in surprise how in the air Cain tightly grasped the spear that had been thrown flying when he attacked them.
It struck at a perfect angle with its point directed towards the assassin's head and Cain only had to give it the necessary impulse to pierce his head and the other two hooded assassins could not help him since they had to stop the two sabers that had flown from the earlier collision that was fiercely heading towards her breasts making them impossible to dodge
At that moment the slayer of the great sword could feel the cold sweat running down his back and a sensation of death overwhelming him on all sides making him feel that helpless that he almost closed his eyes and accepted his fate, but at that moment a light gray glow was still purer than the one that Cain emanated appeared out of nowhere along with a halberd that aimed at Cain's spear fiercely colliding with it
With a great explosion of energy, Cain was sent to fly back by the explosion and that figure retreated 5 steps back with his hands slightly tempering, when Cain was about to fall to the ground he noticed that two other hooded figures came out from the sides. very surely they wanted to attack Lily by surprise while he fought with the 3 hooded swords, they cast the same spell towards him.
Two electric bolts came out of his hands and headed towards him while he was still in the air trying to finish him off with a blow, but Cain reacted quickly as he stabbed his spear in front of him and channeling energy into one of his rings a thick metal chain appeared from the nothing connecting the end of the spear that was in the air with a tree acting as a conductor that redirected all the electricity away from it giving Cain time to turn on the ground a few times and relocate near Lily
And this whole fight happened in the span of a few seconds leaving Lily totally stunned, basically Cain confronted 6 silver grade assassins and managed to survive almost unscathed despite the collision, but he also realized that although he was able to confront them once you could not necessarily do two and it would be too dangerous to face them, one mistake could cost you your life
At that moment the hooded halberd walked slowly forward while holding his halberd vertically with the point directed towards the sky, this assassin had a tall and sturdy physical makeup and exuded a menacing aura like that of a general on the battlefield.
Cain- boy you are strong enough to survive a confrontation against the six that alone speaks volumes about your strength and talent, you better ignore what is happening here and get out of our way or we will have to end your life and honestly, it would be tragic that someone young and talented like you dies senseless here -
Said the halberd killer to Cain with threat, he really felt reluctant to get involved with this repeating boy as they would waste a lot of time dealing with him and could even lose one of his companions if the boy fought to the death
Cain seemed to seriously ponder the words of the halberd killer and turned to come face to face with Lily.
Cain- although I hate to admit it, the halberd man is right, I have no confidence in defeating them while I protect you and if I confront them, I will very possibly lose my life so it is not worth doing, so I am very sorry for what I am about to do - he said with a downcast and helpless expression as he bowed and bowed
Lily for some reason felt a huge emptiness in her chest when she heard what Cain said to her, but she could understand it, in such a dangerous situation no one would be so stupid and reckless as to risk their lives to save someone they had barely known for less than an hour and they didn't even get along so she just kept quiet and didn't blame or reply to Cain
The Halberd assassin felt a bit of relief hearing Cain as they had lifted a great weight from their shoulders and could finish the mission quickly before they were discovered, but in that moment of relief, something impressive happened.
Cain is in his bowed pose suddenly shot forward carrying Lily who was standing on her way by the belly with his shoulder and sped off escaping with her like a farmer carrying a sack of potatoes from his shoulder and escaping. From the market
It happened so fast that the hooded assassins did not react for a whole second before realizing what had happened and chasing after them in anger and Lily who had been "kidnapped" out of nowhere only managed to react ashamed and angry three seconds later by reprimanding Cain that ran on the branches of the trees and breaking them while carrying it like a sack
Lily- what the fuck are you doing? How can you roll a lady out of nowhere and treat her like a sack of potatoes? Do you want me to blow your head off with a fireball? -
Cain- What am I doing? Then saving you! Also, I apologized in advance or perhaps you forgot, also since you have so much energy cast some spells around and attack them to delay them, with how heavy you are they will reach us at this rate - Cain replied angrily before ignoring her and concentrating on the way
Lily almost exploded with rage, but as Cain kept ignoring her and couldn't get out of his grip or she would be trapped, she had no choice but to spend the little mana she had recovered on a few spells to try to slow down the assassins who were chasing them.
Cain stomped so hard on the branches he stepped on that he destroyed them and at the same time prevented them from following them efficiently as they could not propel themselves on the same branches they were using while accelerating forward as fast as he could.
After a few minutes of pursuit, they had left the forest and reached a crevasse between mountains that were covered at the end by a large landslide obstructing their path and trapping them inside.
Lily- Great! Now if we are finished, how did you come up with the great idea of leaving the forest and heading towards the mountains, are you a fool? -
Seeing her situation Lily had become more and more angry and uneasy complaining about everything with Cain, for some reason she could not stop feeling angry and worried about him since he took such a risk and still only did things without sense, she believed that even if he had left her and faced death alone she would not have felt as angry and frustrated as she is now
Cain simply whipped her butt and threw her forward without answering her and seeing that she was about to explode again, he placed one of his hands on her head and spoke to her with a completely serious look.
Cain- shut up for once, I think I already know the reason why they sent me to take this stupid exam again and since we got here our escape plan is half completed now, you just have to keep quiet here and be careful of any ambush and I'll take care of the rest -
Lily wanted to reply, but seeing his gaze the words stuck in her throat and she nodded slowly, seeing her silent confirmation Cain breathed a sigh of relief as he withdrew his hand and directed his gaze to the entrance of the crack, the mountainous walls on the sides were too steep and uneven to climb and the passage covered by the collapse was even more dangerous so they were completely isolated but still Cain did not feel the slightest nervous about it
At that moment several figures appeared in front of him, the six hooded assassins had arrived and were covering the entire entrance which was also the only exit route
?? - Stupid boy, because of your arrogance and stubbornness you chose to throw yourself into hell by yourself and even locked yourself up for yourself, you just need to dig your grave for us - Said with a clearly angry tone the murderer of the halberd while releasing all his aura to threaten Cain, 5 light gray stars appeared behind him demonstrating his power as a 5-star silver grade warrior
The other 5 assassins also showed their full strength wanting to kill Cain in an instant, the three with whom he had faced before had a strength of Silver grade 2 stars those who used the short sword and 3 stars the one with the long sword, and the two wizards were both silver grade 3 stars
Cain stared at them for a while before walking forward while laughing- Hahahahahaha my father has always told me that my stubbornness and determination are my greatest virtue, it also seems that you had a little misunderstanding, locked here by you? The reason why I ran away was that I couldn't fight against you and protect Lily at the same time I was never afraid of you and now ... -
She paused a little as she used one hand to grasp the elegant toothpick she was holding onto the hair bun on her head and pulled it out by twisting it in the air as if juggling it as her hair untangled and released from all sides, but without falling completely but floating in a mystical way, his hair was quite long for a man reaching almost to his waist, his hair was jet black except for the lock of hair that had a green forehead and the ends of his hair that were red crimson to about 3 inches from the tips.
At the same time that the toothpick magically grew in size the more turns he made in his hand until it transformed into an elegant 2.5-meter spear, it seemed that it was made of two metal bars of different colors tangled with each other like a braided one completely white and another completely black, at the tip of the spear there was two points, one was the end of the black metal bar that was a little longer and the other the white metal one that was a little smaller, but both were sharp and they pointed at each other like the claws of a crab.
And behind Cain appeared 4 light gray stars that emanated a powerful pressure comparable to the 5 of the man with the halberd, and an almost tangible tyrannical aura began to flow from his entire body causing the blood of the weakest assassins and Lily to freeze, giving them the sensation that many small needles were pricking them and generating goosebumps
The halberd assassin frowned upon realizing this aura, it was the "killing intent", a kind of special aura that not necessarily all knights or wizards could have, but those who had it were much stronger than the same level, it was an accumulation of intention and near-death or similar experiences that imperceptibly changed one's mindset and made one's abilities stronger
Usually, only those who had murdered many people or witnessed many murders or fights to the death firsthand could develop such a killing intent, even he was just shaping it in a basic form and with no practical uses.
?? - You ... before coming to this academy you were enlisted in the army, right? - Asked the murderer a little puzzled
This boy was too young to be a professional assassin with so many murders and neither did he have the temperament or the "coldness" of a powerful assassin he should have so he could only think of one reason for him to have such murderous intent, from a very young age this boy He was in the army of a country in constant war and developed this murderous instinct after countless struggles and near-death experiences
Cain did not answer and simply pointed his spear horizontally towards them remaining unfazed by the obviously greater force of the six with his hair slightly floating as if there was a constant stream of air moving him in this isolated mountainous crevice.
Taking this as a silent confirmation the halberd assassin stepped forward and transmitted a simple command in a low voice so that only the assassins next to him would hear.
?? - 4 and 6 follow me and let's attack that boy with everything, the rest take any opportunity and kill the girl and get out as fast as they can, we will not benefit at all fighting with that terrifying boy - in the next instant the six ran towards Cain at full speed with the killer of the halberd, the one with the great sword and one of a common sword taking the lead to attack Cain
Around the assassin 6 sword that the common sword had the aura concentrated on the tip while attacking as if using a lunge and an image similar to that of an attacking bird was formed on the tip
The sword of assassin 4 that was the one who used the great sword was attacking with a vertical cut while the energy was concentrated on the edge and generated friction with the air creating a dark gray flame around it
The strongest assassin's halberd was slashing vertically downward as he concentrated all his strength on the ax edge that was used to slash forming the image of a beast's claw fiercely attacking downward with shocking force.
Meanwhile, Cain took a pose as if he were riding a horse and attacked with a simple thrust of his spear as they approached his attack range, on the way all of his Light Gray energy and murderous aura similar to a black-red aura concentrated on the two tips of his spear, the two tips began to vibrate almost touching creating a high pitched and terrifying sound as he fearlessly attacked the three
In an instant, the 4 attacks collided generating a loud explosion that destroyed the ground at their feet and sent large and small rocks flying everywhere.
Killer 6 flew backward taking the worst damage with his broken sword and his arms bleeding from the impact.
Assassin 4 also fell back a few feet with his cracked greatsword falling away from his hands and his arm numb.
The halberd killer took 10 steps back with his hands shaking from the shock
And finally, Cain fell back about a meter leaving a trail of his feet dragging the ground while he almost lost his balance, but with the spear tightly held in his hands, but he did not take the opportunity to attack again, but he looked around and noticed that the two wizards and the last sword assassin had taken advantage of the earlier collision to sneak in and attack Lily
Before Cain could move to intercept them the halberd assassin screamed and attacked Cain once more fiercely without wanting to give him a chance to stop them and showed a victorious smile when he saw Cain attacking him to defend himself, in the end, he too laid down his life as a priority over the girl and that was all I needed
But the next second he felt something was wrong when he saw the sneering and victorious smile on Cain's face as their weapons collided, watched as Cain released one of his hands from the spear as he snapped his finger and whispered a word that felt like whispers. of the devil in his ears
Cain - EXPLODE! -
At that same moment, strong lights shone under the ground below where the two magicians and assassins were passing and also in the area where Cain was previously standing and that was now very close below the halberd assassin that not long after exploded
BOOOM
A loud explosion sounded leaving everyone in the crack almost deaf due to the echo, the halberd assassin managed to react in time due to his reflexes and used the force of Cain's attack to propel himself into the air, but the explosion still left him with looking haggard while flying through the air
The other assassins were not so lucky when the two wizards shot back heavily injured, and the last sword assassin shot forward from the blast even more injured but determined to sacrifice himself to fulfill his mission.
Lily saw this with a bit of terror from the disinterested and vicious eyes of the murderer willing to die to kill her causing her to freeze for a moment long enough for him to kill her, but just when he was only 2 meters from her a spear came out of nowhere. and pierced him through the stomach nailing him to the ground
There was Cain who in a similar way to the halberd killer used the force of the shock to propel himself back in case of some accident like this, looking sideways at Lily, and then the killer turned around to see the other 5 killers who were injured to varying degrees
They were absolutely mad at looks that could kill wanting to give their lives to take down Cain, especially the halberd assassin who could almost spit fire from his eyes as he stared at Cain stomping on his passed out companion nailed to the ground.
?? - Damn how dare you set us up, today I will make sure to send you to hell in the worst possible way, torturing you to death - swore the killer of the halberd with a terrifying look and deep anger in his voice
He was about to throw himself forward again to fight to the death when he realized something and stopped abruptly, he looked at the whole area of the fight and confirming something he raised his hand making a strange signal as he stepped back and took the killer 6 and left running instantly, the other 3 assassins were dumbfounded for an instant before quickly leaving reluctantly in their footsteps
Lily was surprised to see this as she believed that a dangerous and bloody battle to the death would come, but out of nowhere they decided to leave without worrying about their partner who was currently under Cain's foot, turning to see him she could see a clear expression of reluctance and regret before hitting the ground
Cain- shit! They found out, where did I go wrong for them to see it and withdraw so decisively? - I shout reluctantly to the sky leaving Lily stunned while thinking
'what has happened?!'
Although I am new as an author, I can say that this chapter is one of my greatest pride, I am thinking of giving opportunities to those who comment and give stones of power to choose a name for the weapons of Cain or future characters and even contribute ideas for the creation of these, What do they say? tell me for the comments
