Chapitre 22: Princess Quest Part 2
"Haa! Haa! I can't run anymore….."
'This is it.'
Hinata's heartbeat soared. At this moment, she was constantly panting. Her legs were shaking as well. She couldn't even more properly. Her speed was much slower than before.
"There you are."
Suddenly, a sharp voice came from behind.
This voice startled her.
'How? I obviously changed my direction. How did they guess it so perfectly? This is impossible.'
Hinata bit her lips.
She did run to the side but it was only for a short time. She didn't hesitate to move back.
Yes, she went back instead of going left and right.
She chose this direction because even if they thought that she would go in a different direction, they wouldn't think that she would go back.
After all, they were chasing her from the back.
But, unfortunately for her, the Boss of these assassins sent four of them in all four directions including the back.
She turned around and saw that there was only one assassin. She bit her lips. She wasn't stupid to turn back and fight him.
But, she didn't have the strength to run away.
At this moment, her eyes widened. She saw the assassin taking out a small red gun. And, the next moment, he shot a silver flare at the sky.
'Damn it! This is it. I can't fight. I can't run. This is where I die.'
Her eyes turned red. No matter what she does, she couldn't burst out any more strength. It was finally at this moment that she was ready to give up.
But, the flame of determination from her eyes didn't vanish. She clenched her fist.
'Even if I die, I am going to take one of you.'
Without any hesitation, she ran toward him.
"Hahaha! It seems like you want to die early." The assassin took out a sword and laughed as he rushed toward her.
...….
'Signal from the back. That girl… She is really a tricky one.' The main assassin's instantly dashed toward the back.
But, when he was running, he sensed someone behind him.
"Who?"
Without any hesitation, he took out a sharp dagger and slashed. But, the dagger only slashed the air.
Of course, he didn't stop there. He couldn't see it but he could still sense it.
His feet kicked the ground. Without any hesitation, he retreated several steps. When he retreated, he noticed a sharp on his cloth.
'Even though I am invisible and I draw the dagger exactly at the moment when I was slashing his stomach, he still reacted. This is going to be troublesome. I hope the princess won't die so easily.'
Kim thought to himself as he put his dagger inside the inventory instantly. After all, he wanted to remain invisible.
"Making yourself invisible while also hiding your breath. Who are you?" The main assassin shouted.
Although he sensed something behind him, he was only able to die because Asuras have higher senses than normal people.
Not to mention, he was very close as well.
But right now, he couldn't figure out where the enemy is. The enemy wasn't just hiding his breath. He was also hiding himself. So, it was very tricky.
Kim wasn't an idiot to reply to him.
Although he was confused by his enemy was able to sense him, he knew this wasn't related to his Dark Breathing Technique being defective.
It was still working.
So, he intended to use it properly. In an instant, he moved to the side. While he moved, he was also constantly watching his enemy's reaction.
'He can't feel me. I just need to strike fast. Alright then, I should use that.'
He extended his left hand and twisted the wrist of his right hand. At this moment, his internal energy flowed from his dantian and reached his hand.
"You rat!"
The moment he used his internal energy, the assassin instantly sensed him. Without any hesitation, he slashed to his right side but it only cut the air.
At this moment though, a spear suddenly appeared out of nowhere and struck forward.
[One Strike- Dragon Death Strike]
Splash!
His spear's tip pierced the assassin's chest. Behind the mask, his eyes were full of confusion and disbelief.
How did the spear appear out of nowhere? How did he manage to make himself invisible? Why didn't his sword strike his opponent?
Although he was constantly being reminded of these questions, he knew he was dead. The moment his enemy managed to pierce his heart, he couldn't live anymore.
Thud!
Kim instantly put the spear inside his inventory and caught the body of the assassin. Without any hesitation, he threw it to the side and rushed to the back.
Up until now, he wasn't reminded of the failure of the quest which meant she was still alive.
As he started to move forward, he noticed a figure slowly coming out of the left side.
And, it didn't take long for the figure from the right side to come out as well.
He was invisible but he knew he couldn't be careless. He let those figures come out from the forest and thought for a moment.
'If I plan to kill them, I have to take them down at the same time, or at least, I have to make sure that I kill one of them. I can't mess up like before.'
Thinking so, he took a deep breath and increased his speed. When his figure reached closer to them, he closed his eyes for a moment.
[Armament Technique]
[You have consumed 10 Internal Energy Points to activate Armament Technique]
[Your physical stats have been increased by 30 points]
A notification appeared on his mind but he didn't care. He used the system's Internal Energy for Armament Technique.
After all, the system can perfectly use the internal energy for his martial technique or arts.
Using his own Internal Energy might either lead to consuming too less internal energy and making the armament weaker or consuming all of it instantly.
A layer of invisible energy appeared around his veins. It instantly boosted his physical capability to another level but it hadn't become armor yet. After all, this was just the beginning.
As soon as he used internal energy, two of them sensed it instantly and turned around.
But, before both of them could react, a small hole appeared on the ground and a dagger appeared in front of one of the assassin's chests.
Splash!
It was Kim's poison dagger. After using the Armament Technique, his physical strength was boosted to a whole new level, allowing him to move faster than these assassins.
"You bastard!"
The assassin next to him saw the purple dagger piercing his teammate and instantly attacked.
His sword thrust forward to the point where he figured Kim would be.
But, unfortunately, he missed it.
Splash!
From the side, a sharp spear pierced his stomach. Kim twisted his hand and pushed him away.
At the same time, move his hand and plucked out the dagger from his enemy's chest.
The assassin couldn't even move. His heart was already infected by the poison and so, he was already dead the moment the dagger struck him.
He instantly threw their bodies away and rushed toward the princess. At this moment, he noticed small drops of blood on the ground.
His eyes shrunk.
He immediately opened the quest panel and find out that he hadn't failed the quest.
'Hoo! I need to hurry.'
After releasing a deep breath, he instantly rushed forward.
"Now little princess, you die!"
His eyes fell in front of him. The Asura Princess was on the ground while the assassin holding the sword was standing next to her. His sword was just above her and at any moment, it would fall down.
[5]
Kim's eyes fell on the screen next to him. His expression dropped.
[4]
He put an insane force on his foot and the next moment, his body dashed toward the assassin in a single strike.
[3]
A spear appeared on his right hand. The spear moved forward and struck the sword, throwing it away from the assassin's hand.
[2]
The poison dagger appeared on his left hand. The moment his sword was pushed away, he reacted by turning to the side.
[1]
Splash!
At this moment, the poison dagger pierced his neck. The blood spurted out of his neck and the poison entered his blood. The heart stopped and the cold body fell down.
Thud!
[Your Armament Technique has been deactivated]
A notification appeared in front of him.
"Hooo!"
Kim released a deep breath when his opponent's body fell to the ground. He was naturally glad that he made it in time.
If he was even a little late, the Armament Technique would've been deactivated and his speed would've been slower.
But, suddenly, he sensed someone behind him. He instantly pulled his spear and swung it.
Ding!
The tip of the spear struck a sword. It was the last assassin. His face was distorted unfortunately, it was hidden by the mask. The madness and recklessness appeared in his eyes.
"Die with that bitch"
[Blood Explosion Art]
Boom!
