Nearly all of the bandits had been dealt with. What was left was one man whod stayed out of the fight the entire ti.
Dark Mist.
The na of the organization responsible for the assassination attempt on Laptiricia-sama. The group above Enjuu. As I knocked out Leif, I heard that na muttered. The resting area was once again enveloped in a thick dark mist. I couldnt even see beyond a few ters.
[Dark Eye]
I didnt know what it was exactly, but I was pretty sure that it was so sort of magic judging by the chant. When I finally heard the na of the spell, I realized it was a spell to see through the darkness or night. In Response, I also switched to my FLIR-mode to confirm the location of my target.
The man was no longer where he was before he casted Dark Mist. I simply couldnt find him. There was no one when I looked. I didnt pick up any movent or sound, neither was there a dot on the map. Did he escape? Just when I thought that, I could hear the faint sound of air being sliced from behind.
A cold shiver ran up my spine, and I slid-jump forward. I looked back mid-slide. He was there, silently coming after .
You can actually dodge ? Its been a while since anyone could avoid my backstab while Dark Mist and Shadowrun are in effect.
The voice sounded young, clear and high pitched. But at the sa ti, it was cold.
Shadowrun huh
Of course I didnt know what that was. But it was probably so sort of skill. A stealth movent to be exact. Was that a shortsword in his hand? I saw cold blue streaks extending from his hand. It was hard to judge while in FLIR mode. All I see was the outlines of the and it made CQB hard. The blue streak suddenly changed to red, signifying an increase in temperature. The heat coming from that short sword had sohow beco a sort of beam saber.
Kuh!
I twisted my body to avoid the blade. I readied the welrod and took aim after I found my footing
Not here?!
Again with the Shadowrun, the man had disappeared again. Before I could find him again
[Dark Fla]
Right as I heard the voice, a plu of jet black fla burst up behind, engulfing . I did a slide-jump to escape the flas and discard my burning overcoat in the process. I was able to grab a tomahawk with my left hand. I wasnt able to retrieve any magazines, however. They were stashed in the inner pockets. The overcoat burned, showing up as bright particles in my vision. And with that, the magazines were gone I only had eight rounds inside the welrod.
Even that couldnt catch you. You are more capable than rumoured, Black Mask.
You know , but I dont know you; isnt that unfair?
Would an assassin introduce themselves to their target?
Fair enough.
I couldnt afford to take my eyes off this man. He was silent and fast. If I allowed him to get behind , I was done. Right after our short exchange, I threw the tomahawk at him. While at the sa ti I also positioned the welrods crosshair on him.
[, Dark Hole]
At first, I thought hed use his dagger to deflect or physically decade. However, he instead responded with so sort of defensive magic. A large circle with no heat signature appeared before him, sucking the tomahawk in. A thrown tomahawk was pretty much a long ranged attack, just like a shooting arrow. Judging that, shooting now wouldnt do any good. So I decided to attempt a lee.
I had the electric baton hanging on my hip, but I deed that it was better to leave my left hand free. I never tried to dual wield a baton and a tonfa before, so I didnt know what kind of movent the CQC system would dish out. In this situation, such an unpredictable move could be my last.
As I moved into another slide-jump, I reversed the welrods grip. With the montum, I launched a left-right swing with the longer end of the pistol. The assassin evaded my attack by twisting his upper body backward. At the sa ti, he left his upper torso for attack. I gave chase by kicking forward, which the assassin attempted to block with his short sword. But apparently, my kick was far stronger than hed expected. My boot continued until it connected with his stomach. Even so, he seed to have endured it with only a short muffled grunt. I turned the welrod around so the read faced forward and I aid for center mass.
Since it was center mass, it wasnt sothing easily avoided by just slightly moving. However, midway, I reached out to grab his shoulder with my left hand, the welrod spun around in my other hand. Its muzzle now faced forward as I readied to pull the trigger.
Guu!
My left hand was deflected, yet there wasnt a way for him to use defensive magic at this distance! After switching to the proper grip, I matched the crosshairs on the ironsights. Before he could react, I shot twice. Probably realizing that Id launched a ranged attack, the assassin raised his shortsword on the first shot, successfully deflecting the first round. However, the second round managed to land on his flank.
Got him!
I intended to capture this one alive, and find out who hired him. I switched my grip on the welrod once again, and aid to knock him out. Seeing my huge swing, I could feel the assassins eyes turn grim.
Liberate!
The mont the word was spoken, a large black hole appeared in between and the assassin. At the sa ti, sothing cut off my right hand.
Guaa!
Since coming to this world, this was the first wound Id taken. And ironically, it was not inflicted by his sword. It was my own tomahawk thatd disappeared in the previous black hole. My right hand, cut below the elbow, fell into the black hole alongside the welrod. With my line of sight diverted, I wasnt able to react to the assassins next move.
I felt a sudden sharp pain co from below my armpit. It was accompanied by an unpleasant sound Did my ribs break? Either way, the attack sent rolling on the ground. Just when my body ca to a stop, and I laid on my back, I felt sothing heavy pressed against my stomach. The assassin had mounted , sitting on my belly as he began to strangle with hsi hands.
Did you think I wouldnt use magic there? This is it, the trash thats been an obstacle to our dominance. Along with those vixens, Ill send you forth to the evil god.
With a short sword in his hand, he stabbed my chest. Since he used his left hand to do so, it was embedded into my right side.
Guu!
No use to struggle
When you et the evil god, do tell him this Its his fault for dropping in this world!
What!
In my desperation, I pointed my finger right at his face. An invisible shield deployed instantly. The CBS was like a thin film, deploying so inches from my hand; where his head was. It was cut in half.
