Silas gritted his teeth and grabbed the wrist of the man who stabbed him in the arm.
The blade hadn't hit anything vital toward his arm's movent, so without thinking twice, Silas ripped the man's arm out of its socket before reeling his arm back.
However, before he could slam his fist into the assassin's face, the hairs at the back of his neck stood up.
Tilting his head to the right, an arrow nicked the side of Silas' ear before shooting right through the eye of the assassin he was holding onto.
'I guess it's every man for himself for them too.' Silas thought and threw the body in the direction of a few assassins that were running toward him.
They jumped over the body without a care in the world, but now that they were airborne, Silas took the advantage and created several fla and water sniper bullets.
These were tier-three spells had created all by himself. It was essentially a normal elental bullet that spun extrely quickly, had a pointed top, and had enough mana to shoot for several hundred ters before dissipating.
With a swipe of Silas' hands, the bullets tore through the air while creating loud bangs as they broke through the sound barrier.
They flew through the air, tearing the top of the n's heads clean off before instantly appearing in front of a hand.
This hand was extended, holding a blade to the throat of one of Silas' teammates. Yet, the instant, the bullet touched it, that limb was blown off like it was nothing but paper.
Silas could have used this attack against the python, but he knew that it wouldn't have hurt it nearly as much as it hurt these humans.
After all, the python was essentially covered in armor from head to toe. Everything about it was durable, except for the inside of its mouth and its eyes.
However, even if a human was on the sa level as the python in strength, they were still human. They were bags of at and flesh, with the only thing protecting them being the toki around their bodies.
But assassins weren't known for their defense. They were known for being able to sneak around and kill enemies without anyone knowing they were even there.
So, if that was their specialty, why would their toki protect them when they don't usually need a lot of protection.
The only thing standing between Silas and them was the natural layer of toki around their body, and that wasn't nearly enough to stop most of Silas' attacks.
Activating wind fusion, Silas' body began to move like the wind.
His movents were completely silent, and even his presence was slightly suppressed. However, what shocked the assassins was his speed.
Sure, fire fusion was his fastest form to get around in, but that was only in short bursts.
With wind fusion, not only was he fast, but he was also agile. Plus, his reflexes skyrocketed in this form, while his thinking speed got a small boost too.
Silas swerves and ran around cleaving down all the assassins that were on the sa level as a dull athyst core while barely escaping the solid-athyst cores by the skin of his teeth.
Spinning mid-air, Silas threw one of his knives toward one of the assassins, but they quickly deflected it, and without skipping a beat, they shot forth and attacked Silas.
'I've only killed about 12 of them, and now that they've realized that...' His eyes darted around to find the best place to dodge too, but he quickly saw that the assassin before him wasn't the only one to attack him.
He could see three arrows shooting at him from three different directions.
He could see several swords and daggers covered in silver, blue, red, golden, and brown hues as elental rules glowed on their weapons.
None of the assassins were awakened, but they didn't need to be to have an elental effect on their weapons.
Almost all of them were using them were covered in enough toki to put them on the higher end of the solid-athyst core, and just to add salt to the wound, there seed to be one more that had gone beyond, making him the sa level as the python.
Silas was trapped.
Only three of them were attacking his teammates, the rest were surrounding him.
Even if he killed the python on his own, there was no way he could kill all of them, especially when they were attacking him at the sa ti.
He couldn't co up with a plan either. His mind had gone blank the mont he had seen so many of them.
'Was it those damn adventurers from the rcenary hall... But wouldn't it have been cheaper to hire a single high-level assassin?
Peak pristine athyst core would have done the trick. One would think that would have been the sa level as Death, but from how Life spoke of him, it made it seem like his full strength rivaled even that of the commander before his death.
If that was the case, that would an there are, at the very least, assassins on the sa level as the commander before he went all out. It would have been much cheaper to buy one of them, yet it was almost as if these assassins were sohow cannon fodder.
As if his power was being tested sohow.
Any general should have the ability to fight against most of these without dying, right?
'Am I being tested?' Silas thought, but he didn't let it get to his head.
If he was being tested, it would an that there was a chance they wouldn't kill him.
However, if this wasn't a test, lowering his gaurd would definitely get him killed...
So what should he do?
He didn't have the ti to create a runic spell.
He could combine two spell circles to create a psuedo teir-4 spell, but doing that so close to the rest of the group would definitely be risky.
However, it was a risk he was willing to take.
His life mattered than theirs... Well, at least that's the way he thought.
He wasn't a hero, and today was not the day he was going to change that.
'Looks like I'll have to go all out this ti...' Silas thought as his eyes blazed with an erald light.
However, that's when the screen appeared before him.
