The monster was stubborn enough not to die even with that. Still, Karina copied Jake and then left her daggers enchanted with poison magic there, causing tons of damage every second to the beast. While the monster was trembling in pain, Jake cut its throat with his katana and dark flas.

Even though Jake received those notifications, he didn't drop his guard. That battle had been so intense that, for a mont, he forgot what those words ant. Still, eventually, the boss fell down dead, and he ca to realize that they had won yet again. Not to ntion, the boss had dropped a red spear… After sheeting his katana, Jake tried to grab the weapon since his left arm was still hurt, but then he felt so bloodlust. Alert was working, but he saw Karina dashing at him with her two daggers ready to pierce his throat before he could react. Jake tried to grab his weapon, but the girl quickly kicked his chest, knocking him down and putting her blades on his neck. That indeed had been the best mont to attack him, with a single hand and with his weapon sheeted… Rick probably gave her the order to attack at such a mont. Jake didn't even have ti to feel anger and use Flas of Wrath. Despite that, Jake didn't feel his throat being cut or his chest being pierced. Karina was trembling while biting her lips, to the point where she started to bleed from her mouth a lot.
"Karina?" Lana asked, visibly surprised.
Louise couldn't even mutter words in response to what she was seeing. It was the first ti all of them saw a human being trying to kill another, after all. Not to ntion, the attacker was soone they t recently and were very fond of.
"Kill …" Karina said while she was trembling for fighting against sothing.
"All right," Jake said and then grabbed his katana.
"Jake! No!" Louise shouted.
In the end, Jake clicked his tongue and then hit the left temple on Karina's face with the hilt of his katana, knocking her down unconscious. From what Jake saw, he assud that Karina was being controlled by Rick. It was hard to believe that soone could have that power already, but perhaps with the help of so magic tool…
"Shit, I knew it was coming, but I still got caught…" Jake got up and then sighed.
"Karina was really…" Lana asked while she hesitated.
"She had the skills to be a top assassin, soone saw that on her and then decided to turn her into a slave-assassin," Jake said. "I guess I was wrong about her… or maybe not, since her act was just too good, was this failure of assassination also an act?"
"Let's stop with the assumptions here… it was Rick who sent her?" Lana asked.
"Obviously, I guess he wanted you two on his guild since there are a lot more won there than n," Jake said. "Still, for soone who played the gam3e to change so fast… oh well, it doesn't matter."
"He seed like a good person…" Lana said while furrowing her eyebrows in disgust. "I can barely believe this."
"What are we going to do, Jake?" Louise asked
"I don't know what you are going to do, but I will find Rick and then one of us will die," Jake said.
"Wouldn't it be better if we stay away from him? Besides, killing is…" Louise said.
"That kind of low life won't stop unless soone stops him," Jake said. "Besides, either we kill him or her… I don't know how he did it, but he probably put a spell on her that will force her to obey all his commands, so she won't stop until she kills ."
"Maybe if we use Purification…" Lana said.
"I wouldn't bet on that, if it were that simple, Karina would have found a way for soone to use that on her," Jake said.
"We need to find another way… we can't let Karina in the hands of a man like that, but we can't kill him," Louise said. "Once we do that, there is no turning back, we will beco worse than him."
"Nah, it is fine, I don't need your help," Jake said. "I don't mind becoming worse than those who try to screw with ."
Lana and Louise didn't know what to say… Jake was calm, but he was pretty serious about killing Rick. Moreover, he didn't even want their help. While that was a relief, it was also a problem since they were a team. Before anything, Lana healed Jake's arm because while he was putting a strong front, he still was pale. After that, he picked the spear.
