Chapter 242: Assassination

Not long after, finally, Henry and his group saw the person that was approaching. They realized that this person looked just like a human, just like the puppets before.

It was just that this person was kind of different. His eyes were filled with emotions, and the emotion that was the most dominant was rage.

The thick killing intent that he was emitting could easily suffocate a normal human. From the way that he was approaching them, they could tell that this person was here with the intention of killing them.

He was a bald-headed guy, currently wearing a sleeveless shirt, with a pair of tight black pants and boots. His features were quite sharp, but his expression was currently twisted to that of rage.

The moment that he looked at Henry and his group, he sneered and said, "There you are. I had initially thought that you were going to run away the moment that you realized that I was looking for you. At that time, I would have definitely made sure that I punished you well enough the moment that I caught you.

But it is a pity that you did not run away. In any case, because you did not give me a difficult task of chasing after you, then, I will make sure that you will suffer lightly as compared to the plans that I was having in my mind."

"What the heck are you talking about? You know, I do have some belief that you are actually the one that made us remain here. So, why is it that you look so angry at us?" Adam asked. Of course, he was already frustrated after they had gone around this place for several rounds, but, they had not encountered any exit from this place.

Of course, it was true that during the past 10 minutes or so, they had actually not been capable of going around the entire city. But, the places that they had gone past, they had not seen anything that was going to be useful to them.

In other words, this place was just like a devastated city with everything that was of importance either destroyed, or taken away. So, this implied that their trip inside here was going to be fruitless.

The baldy looked at Adam with squinted eyes. Then he said, "As expected of muscle brains. You really don’t think much, do you? If I remember correctly, we are not the ones that told you to come in here, right? You came in all by yourself."

"So, there are more of you?" Henry questioned with a frown on his face. He had not expected that there was going to be a group of people here that was planning something.

Of course, he knew that whatever plan it was that they were having, he and his group were definitely not part of it. But, since they had come over, then, it seemed that they had interrupted something, or they were going to be involved in whatever plan it was that this group of people was planning, whether they liked it or not.

"Seriously? I said that? It seems that I am not really good at speaking. Let my fists speak now." Realizing that he had given away information about the fact that there was another group of people present here other than him, then, the baldy decided to take care of Henry and his group.

This mistake that he had done, he was sure that he was going to be punished for that. So, rather than risking doing something else that was going to cause him to suffer even more, it was better for him to take care of Henry and his group first.

[Clinton

Race: dark mutant

Power level: Level 3 silver rank.

Affinity: dark element

Skills: corrosion, dark arrow, sensory sealing, puppet creation...]

Henry’s brows rose a little bit after looking at the information about the person in front of him. He really could not understand why it was that he was actually meeting with people that looked like humans, but, according to the races that they currently possessed, they were actually not humans.

This guy, other than the fact that his skin and other features were just like humans, the only thing that made him look like an odd one out was the thick killing intent that he was emitting.

It turned out that the reason why he was emitting such killing intent was due to the fact that he was actually related to the dark race. The members of the dark race usually used the other races for their own purposes, using them as their own strength.

Additionally, Henry had also seen the puppet creation skill that was possessed by this Clinton. That implied that the puppets that they had encountered the time that they had entered this place were actually created by him, and perhaps by the other group of people that had not shown up right now.

Looking at the guy who was approaching them steadily, Henry could not help but shake his head. This guy was so arrogant when he was just at the third level of the silver rank.

And right now, everybody here was actually in the Silver rank, and none of them was weaker. The only difference between them was the grade of the professions that they possessed together with the skills and their efficiency in using them.

Clinton was approaching the group. He could see that the group was frowning a little bit. Of course, he did not know that the reason behind this was due to the fact that they had actually seen his information.

To him, this group was frowning because they were not expecting his response. At the same time, he could not help but be dissatisfied by the fact that they did not actually seem afraid of him at all.

He was just about to start attacking when suddenly, he felt that his life was in danger. At that exact moment, he twisted his body to the side, trying to evade the attack from the direction that he was feeling the danger coming from.

Since he was actually emitting such killing intent, that implied that he was so familiar with the killing intent. For that reason, he was able to detect the moment that the killing intent was directed towards him.

So, the moment that he felt that there was killing intent directed towards him, together with the feeling of his life being in danger, he immediately moved to avoid the danger.

But, his speed was not enough. Although he had actually reacted fast, he was just not fast enough to be able to avoid the danger.

Puchi!

A dagger was directly lodged into his heart. Clinton’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the person in front of him with horror clear in his eyes. He had actually forgotten about this person after he came over.

In fact, he had actually not paid much attention to the people in front of him. Instead, he had only focused on the fact that this group was waiting for him here, and he better take care of them before going back.

But, he had actually ignored the existence of this young lady. She was someone that he had seen during the time that he was inside the building, but he had actually forgotten about her.

Well, nobody could blame him considering that Julie was an assassin. For that reason, she was so good at making people ignore her presence. And due to the fact that she was currently way stronger than this Clinton, he was not capable of detecting her if she did not want to be detected.

For that reason, during the time that Clinton arrived, at least his killing intent arrived and the group began making preparations, she had also blended into the shadows that were cast by the buildings in the surrounding area.

And after Clinton came over, this guy was so careless. For that reason, she was able to easily sneak closer to him and attack. And, although it was true that she was an assassin, she was not that much proficient in controlling her killing intent.

So, when she faced a person like Clinton, he was able to detect her the moment that she went ahead for a kill.

Of course, as she attacked, she did not just attack normally. Instead, she used a skill that she possessed, something that she had gotten from Henry.

It was a skill with a numbing effect. So, the moment that the dagger was lodged into Clinton’s chest, he was frozen in place. This was actually a skill that was capable of freezing a person who was at the same level or below her in place for about 5 seconds.

And of course, Julie was not going to waste those 5 seconds. So, after she lodged the dagger into his chest, she punched towards his head.

Bang!

Clinton’s body was launched backwards. It might be true that Julie was an assassin, making her not possess much physical strength, but she was still a warrior. And for that reason, her physical strength was definitely higher as compared to mages.

Additionally, she was actually five levels ahead of him. She was currently at level 8 of the silver rank.

Bang!

Clinton’s body landed heavily onto the ground. But still, he could not move considering that the five seconds had not yet elapsed. But at the same time, he felt that his life force was draining away.

Of course, this was yet another skill that Julie had utilized. As an assassin, she was definitely going to use her full strength during the time that she was going to kill anybody. For that reason, she rarely used another skill other than the one that froze Clinton in place.

It was just that, the skill that she had utilized was something that required the dagger. On that dagger, she had actually activated a skill that poisoned the dagger making the injury to the heart completely fatal for Clinton.
