Chapitre 41: Chapter 41
A little problem that happened while I was coming back is that I got caught in a storm, I need more experience to be able to avoid this kind of thing, luckily I managed to escape from it by heading south, even if I ended up reaching the fortress of the Assassin Guild...
Or at least that's what I thought since I got to the place where you change from Job to assassin in the game but at the moment the place is completely abandoned, full of sandmans, chameleons and earthworms.
[Sandman LVL: 34 HP: 3,413/3,413 MP: 126/126 Race: Formless Element: Earth 3
Sandman is a sand monster living in the Morocc desert. According to Morocc folklore, it is a ghost of a man who died in the desert. The truth is it's a kind of fairy. It hates people.]
[Frilldora LVL: 30 HP: 2,023/2,023 MP: 80/80 Race: Beast Element: Fire 1
Frilldora is a lizard wearing a large brimmed muffler-like skin around the neck. Mostly lives in the desert area and hunts small bugs using a long thin tongue. Although it looks ridiculous, it's actually pretty strong.]
[Hode LVL: 26 HP: 2,282/2,282 MP: 30/30 Race: Beast Element: Earth 2
Hode is a giant earthworm living under the desert. It is shy, pretty cowardly, and scared of travelers, so you can just pass it by without worrying.]
This place is completely deserted and from what I see it has Egyptian architecture, although as I remember the system called it Solvive Empire, while I advance to the fortress that according to my map is called Sandstorm Fortress, and i guess it's a good name since I arrived I can see a sand storm coming.
I enter one of the ruins to protect myself from the storm, what seemed to be a small room becomes a huge underground complex, on the walls several hieroglyphics seem to be telling something, with nothing else to do I begin to try to understand what it says, something simpler said than done.
Although you don't need to be an expert to understand or at least have an idea of the story they want to tell... on the left there are representations of animals, plants, life, on the right legions of demons covered in fire, as well as creatures made of shadows with masks, they are similar to those that appear in the tower of Thanatos.
What kind of battle took place here... among the murals and hieroglyphs in a room there is a map, to tell the truth, I only know that it is from Midgard because I managed to find some similarities in the lands far from the desert, but what it says this map is true, the whole desert was a place full of life, but it was destroyed in that war.
In addition to this, some figures appear that I can only presume are assassins by their weapons, they have a symbol... an inverted letter N with a line in the middle, in what they seem to be protecting something, which I can only assume is the world, or making some kind of oath, seeing how some of them wear white armor and do they carry a scale? Another difference is that these individuals in white wear a red symbol, a kind of katar or sword, on their chest.
There are many hieroglyphics in this place, since much further inside I was able to differentiate the throne of Amon Ra, surely this room describes what he did, to think that something like that was hidden under this fortress... thinking that enough time had passed, I decided to return to the surface, I will bring the girls later to help me to investigate the place, I quickly surfaced, the sandstorm stopped, I only see sand everywhere, although suddenly I notice something out of place.
Some plants in pots are outside a building some meters ahead, that means there is someone living here, so I go to knock on the door, however when I get closer I notice a slight smell of blood... I enter the building and inside I discover 2 women, one had their throat cut and the other was pierced by a weapon in the center of her chest, apparently a sword... the blood is still fresh.
Then I hear an explosion nearby, I can feel the magic in the environment, someone used a very powerful spell, I quickly leave the building and head towards the explosion, while I am going I can see some corpses on the way men, women, some I can't even tell apart, all dressed as assassins. Whoever did this is a psycho bastard.
When I got up to a building facing the center I see into a pair of people fighting, an muscular tanned man dressed like a genius, the other a man with long black hair, he is dressed completely in black with steel shoulder pads, in addition to having eyeliner, plus black lipstick... I'm practically seeing Sephiroth from Final Fantasy but with black hair. He is using a two-handed sword, clearly that is a cursed weapon... Around him there are hundreds of bodies...
"Wh-Why? Why do this? we only seek to preserve the balance of the World...!" The man in the genie suit yell, as he kneels holding what remains of his left arm, I have to hurry...
"Hahahaha! But I don't want that, you see..." The man in black walks slowly.
"All We have done is try to keep mankind from repeating its endless bloodshed!! Our mission is Just!" The man in the genie suit continues to shout desperately... I change my armor to the one of the Guillotine Cross, that it's just an armor with a demonic face on my chest that doesn't cover much besides that I put on a assassin's mask to hide my face and use the armor scarf to cover my head.
'[Cloaking Exceed]' I mentally use my skill, I will thank Kirkena again for teaching me how to use skills mentally.
"And what makes you the perfect judges of man hmm? You... the very ones who have most perpetuated the shedding of blood?" The man in black finally arrives with the other one, standing over him while looking down at him, clearly trying to humiliate him.
"Damn you! Who sent you here!? WHO!?" I just need a few more seconds!
"No one, but a dead man don't need concern himself about...." The man in black raises his sword preparing to stab the other, but thanks to his stupidity in wanting to humiliate his opponent, I was finally able to reach it.
Using my Jamadhar I stop the sword of the man in black and make him go back, something I notice is that even though I didn't use all my strength I couldn't make him go back much only some steps, apparently this guy is powerful...
"Wh-Who!?" The man in the genie suit asks, clearly not expecting to be saved at the last moment.
"Don't worry, I'm already here." From my inventory I take out a Mastela Fruit and toss it to him, while I don't 'see' the man in black tries to attack me from the back, although I was able to repel him with my Weapon Blocking skill and I counter attack with Weapon Crush
[Mastela Fruit: A shiny, purple fruit picked from the boughs of the Mastela tree. Recover a good amount of HP. Price: 4,250]
[Weapon Blocking Lv: 10/10 Skill Form : Active Type : Buff

In the end with my skills I managed to defend myself from the surprise attack of the man in black, and thanks to Weapon Cruch I managed to deflect the attack that he launched and counterattack but he manages to dodge my blow by jumping back. 'Observe.'
[Sakray LVL: 240 HP: 10,835,816,994 /10,835,856,994 MP: 310,102/310,102 Race: Norman (Demi-Human) Element: Fire 4
Sakray, the Cursed Prosecutor wields the demon sword, a weapon that drains the blood of whoever it injures and receives also the memories of that person. The sword Tartanos also learns the fighting techniques of the person it sucks the blood out.]
'FUCK! That's cheating you fucking bastard! And I for my part am stuck as a level 1 Mechanic so I cannot change my Job until completion, I can use the skills of all classes but they only work at 70% to 80% of their capacity... if I use the job corresponding to the skill the damage I do is 100%. I should have leveled it up while I could....'While looking at the man in black Sakray, the man who is dressed as a genius, starts talking to me.
"Who are you!? You Trespass in the domain of the Assassin's Guild... you... the e-executioners!?" The guy in the genie suit talk, meanwhile I get into a defensive position and keep watching Sakray who just stands there with a smile on his face...
"Goood! Tartanos still hungers... and he will gave his fill!" Apparently this bastard is a crazy psycho, there is no doubt that sword is the culprit.
"Thanks for the help brother! I am Jeiwatch, never expected to see one of the Guild's true shadows in my life!" The man in the genie suit says, I see how he eats the fruit and quickly recovers his HP, it's a pity that he can't regenerate his arm.
'True shadow? What the hell does that mean?' while thinking, I hear Sakray talking, both of us saying or thinking the same thing at the same time.
"True shadow...? I have hunted many like you. Tartaros cannot bear to drink your blood!" finally Sakray throws himself against me and a battle like none before that I have fought awaits me.
*******
*Third person point of view*
5 minutes before. in another location inside the fortress, a man fully covered in Arab clothing with a mask that cover his mouth and nose is standing still, watching what was happening outside.
"The entire Guild undone by that one man!! The Defensive Spells around this domain should have weakened him.... slowed him! Made it impossible for him to withstand our might!!" The man begins to walk, using a cane, while continuing to talk to himself. His voice and cane clearly show his advanced age
"It's impossible to withstand our magic! Someone... Someone aids him! I must act swiftly! There is still one chance!! The Crystal of Recall... with it I can summon Loki from wherever he is." As the man took out a necklace and got ready to do something with it, but he heard a woman behind him.
"I fear it is too late for that, Old One." When the man turns around, he sees a woman with silver hair and yellow eyes, completely covered by a cloak that looks like feathers...
"Who are you?!! How did you get in here?!!" the man tries to confront the woman but she just stays quiet looking at him.
"Wait! I see! You aided that attacker! You gained him entrance! Who are YOU?!!" the man points his finger to the woman, while slowly using his power to activate the talisman.
"Hehe... MY name is of not important to you, You need only know the one Outside... his name... is Chaos." The woman is very calm as if everything that happened was something she is used to.
"Ch-Chaos?" The man asks confused, not understanding why they tell him the name of the attacker
"That is correct. Remember it well. After all----" Behind the man a woman is standing, with a sword in hand, he just feels how his stomach is pierced from behind. "It will be the last name you hear before your death." The woman turns her back on him, walking away from him until…
"Hahahahaha, apparently we haven't been abandoned yet... Woman, make sure you understand this... NO OUTSIDER CAN BE PERMITTED TO ENTER!! YOU HAVE SIGNED YOUR OWN DEATH WARRANT!!!" The man does not know where he got his strength from but he began to shout happily, apparently he can still see what is happening outside this room.
"Have you gone senile Old One?" The woman talk, but the man doesn't give any answer and keeps laughing.
"Jeiwatch, make sure to serve the new master, make sure to convince Loki and the rest... We keep the balan..." The woman couldn't take it anymore and plunged her sword into his neck... but the man continues to smile.
The woman only narrows her eyes watching him, not understanding exactly what happened to him, how he went from despair to acceptance and happiness so easily... She looks up at the other woman in the place, however, before they can say anything, they feel a small tremor, which is increasing more and more.
Rumble.... RUMBLE!!
Both women just look at each other, to later turn into crows and leave the place towards one of the roofs of the surrounding buildings, although when they go outside they see something that leaves them speechless... on the stairs of the guild, two men are facing each other, Sakray is a true sword monster, and thanks to this sword of his, he is becoming more and more powerful, however his enemy...
'Who the hell is that guy!!? He's parrying all of Sakray's attacks like it's child's play!' The man in a Red armor, no matter how he receives the attack, he always manages to counterattack, just because Sakray has more experience in combat, he is not caught that easily. Even so, that does not mean that whoever faces him isn't a true monster...
Both men clash swords and katar then separate, looking at each other, Sakray begins to walk in an oval, apparently he is trying to put pressure on his enemy, for his part the mysterious man in red armor only sees his Jamadhar, which is already damaged.
"That happens to you when you face Sakray without knowledge. But the fact that Sakray is not taunting his enemy shows that he does not have the freedom to do so." Say the woman of silver hair.
Then they clearly see how the man in red armor throws his weapon. Finally standing still, where we can clearly see the armor of that man... in his center he has the face of a demon, a demon with its head impaled by a sword.
"Did he give up so easily? Well Sakray is too powerful, if he had existed 500 years ago our victory in Glastheim would have been impossible, since he would have joined the Norman side, Huh? What the hell did he said?" The woman think that they are hearing things, if there's no way that guy said that
"Playtime is over, sorry Sakray, I can't let you continue." The man in red armor says as both women watch him pull out a pair of swords, one straight sword that looks like it's been cut in half, the other a katana with a strange glow of white light around it.
"Did you hear that, Tartanos? Another fool has presented himself to die on your blade... dont worry You will obtain his blood." Says Sakray, while positioning himself ready to continue the fight.
'Apparently that bastard loves the sound of his fucking voice too much, but then that means... both of them were only playing around?' Thinks Huginn the woman with silver hair, it doesn't matter that they are helping him now, Sakray is one of the most arrogant bastards he has ever had the misfortune to meet.
"Ha! as if you have a chance now that he is here, prepare well swordsman! Now you will see what happens when you decides to face the true shadows of the Assassin Guild... a Guillotine Cross." The other man in the area talk.
'The last of the assassins wait... then that means that man is... is... a GUILLOTINE CROSS!!?'
"What the hell is one of the Muspelheim guardians doing here!!?" Unable to resist it anymore, Huginn raises her voice in despair.

I should have put this before but I forgot to put it in its corresponding chapter.
[Clowns are Bards who have transcended with the blessing of Valkyries. No matter how desperate a situation may seem, the songs of the Clown will inspire you to achieve a miraculous victory. Despite the name, the Clown is a serious factor in any battle—not just because of his ability to keep spirits high but because of his astounding archery skills as well.

[Minstrels sing songs beyond the level of simple songs because of the magic in the chorus giving a magical effect. Minstrels have the ability to perform songs or chorus immediately, unlike Bard/Dancers or Clown/Gypsies. In addition, the chorus skills has enabled the more powerful Wanderers/Minstrels to be more powerful if they belong to the same party. The various effects of numerous songs and choruses will be more effective in hunting as well as in siege and masterpieces.
Level Up Bonuses: +10 STR +8 AGI +6 LUK +6 DEX +4 VIT +6 INT every level up.]
[Rangers have superior maneuverability and Trap skills compared to Hunters and Snipers. The use of camouflage and Warg-riding allows Rangers to ambush and retreat before the enemy can counterattack. It is unclear when or who set up the Ranger special training center for specially chosen Hunters and Snipers. The most popular guess was that a few important people in tht government created the center to train their special forces to counter Assassins that would target international assets in case of a war.
