"Ahhhhh~ my hand, don't step on my hand," The disgusting pig-like boss kept shouting in pain, while one of the assassins kept crushing his bones.
"Don't kill him, we need him alive to question about all the people that are involved with him,"
"I know, do you think I'm stupid? It's just I feel repulsed to look at him,"
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ There were totally 4 of them and the other two assassins protected the carriage, where all the slaves are kept.
"Oh my! They really are scum, look at all these bruises," Pointing at one of the kids, who had a dark circle around her eyes, they started looking at the boss of the criminal organisation with hatred.
"But where did the leader go? Suddenly, she disappeared like something important came up," One of the lackeys of Naomi questioned.
"I have no idea, it's not like she talks with us, we just have to follow her order,"
They started discussing about private things but kept close eyes on the surrounding in case they had to face another attack.
"Hey, did you know that our leader is dating master? It was a shock because I never thought Naomi of all people would think about romance," One of the female lackeys muttered but jealousy in her voice was apparent to anyone, who was listening.
"It's not that surprising, our master is the one who rescued her in her dark times, and I don't really see how she can stop herself from falling in love with him,"
They kept talking about how close Velian and Naomi were and the rumours about others until they heard a huge explosion in the area where Naomi was fighting with the demon.
"Damn it! What is happening?" Quickly turning their heads in the direction of the explosion, they tried to leave but they had their own responsibilities to fulfil so, only one managed to leave the area to see what was happening and if needed, they decided to ask others to come back.
The whole group consisted of 34 assassins so, with one signal it was rather easy for them to summon most of them.
Four of them quickly ran in the direction of the sound and quickly took a peel to see what was happening.
Amidst the chaos, a group of assassins that came to observe this fight stood frozen in awe, their eyes fixed on the two figures in the centre of the fray.
Their leader, a woman of great agility and courage, had taken on the enemy which looked more like a monster in a fight to the death.
The two warriors clashed their daggers and claws in a dance of death, their movements swift and deadly. For a while, it seemed as though their leader had the upper hand, her dagger striking true and fast taking the advantage of every single movement.
But then, something changed. The demon suddenly gained the upper hand like he just powered up and started wailing in pain, his claws slicing through the air with deadly accuracy and power which could easily slice the assassins that were observing this fight.
The assassins watched in horror as their leader stumbled, her dagger slipping from her grasp.
In that moment of vulnerability, the enemy struck a blow that sent their leader flying back, her body colliding with a nearby wall.
"Ughhh~" Naomi grumbled in pain wondering how can this happen.
She was supposed to be a SS rank but this monster was able to fight with her on equal grounds.
"Should warn Velian!" She wanted Velian to know about this but, the monster didn't let her escape, as it kept changing her without giving her any moment.
For a moment, the battlefield fell silent as everyone held their breath. The assassins watched in horror as their leader struggled to get back up, her body wracked with pain.
But before she could do anything, the monster-looking enemy struck again, his claws plunging into their leader's chest aiming everyone open their eyes open in horror.
"Nooooo! Noooo! This isn't possible," They were in complete denial and tried to escape to see Naomi's chest getting pierced.
A blinding flash of light erupted from the point of impact, sending shockwaves throughout the battlefield.
The assassins were thrown back, their ears ringing from the deafening explosion. When they finally regained their senses, they saw that both their leader and the enemy champion had disappeared, replaced only by a massive crater in the ground.
Or so they thought until they saw the figure of Velian standing proudly on that crater carrying Naomi like a princess, with his whole face disfigured in anger.
Quickly Akiyo, who was responsible for giving messages to the Velian also climbed up to a roof to see what was about to happen but before he could even do that, Akiyo realised that the demon really won't stand chance with Velian.
"Brother won't lose to a demon," He was really that he could help, even though he was about to die for the second time.
"What happened to Naomi? No way, that monster can beat her, she was really skilled," He still couldn't see what was happening, but he had confidence in the skill of both Velian and Naomi.
On the other hand, Velian had his aura of the king leaking from his body looking at Naomi, who was trying to breathe with her whole body going cold.
(Healing Flame)
Velian muttered those words inside his mind. As soon as he said those words both him and Naomi got engulfed in a yellow colour bright flame, which shined brightly giving a comfortable feeling to those who witnessed it but it had the opposite reaction on Luke.
"Ahhhhhhhh~ my skin, my eyes," He quickly hid near a barrier, which blocked this.
It didn't even take a few minutes as the flamed died and Naomi's chest healed and her breathing skills came back to normal.
"Naomi, are you okay? Answer me!" Velian with a troubled face shaped her whole body, and looked at her eyes but seeing them staring at him with a comfortable expression, Veliam felt relieved.
He quickly jumped onto the roof and kept her near the assassin that was observing them and went back to see the culprit, who was responsible for this destruction.
"Come out, you coward!"
Velian's voice sliced through the air like a razor-sharp sword as he confronted Luke, his anger palpable and his words dripping with disrespect, all because Luke attempted to harm Naomi's life.
