The noises caused by the rain made the assassins deafened from the noises coming from behind them.

They did not notice that they were already assaulted one by one, and it was already too late for them before they realized.

Some assassin was able to fight back. But before they could hit their enemies. Another enemy would pop up from behind them.

Not just that, the former rat crawlers had the ability to dig underground; therefore, before the enemies could react, some would grab their feet trying to drag them below.

Thus, the counter-ambushed strategy was a big failure.

|This homing skill is quite interesting, huh. And annoying at the same time.|

|It was lucky for me that I reinforced my body using my soul energy at the right time. If not, the outcome would be awful for me.|

Yeman muttered in his mind after successfully defended himself from Gale-Cutter's attacked.

Fighting four opponents with a higher rank at the same time was difficult to even for him.

His body was steaming from the Exploding Circular Blade of Gale-Cutter.

When the smoke that enveloped his body cleared out, "ugh, what the... Is this person's body made of steel?!" Gale-Cutter grunted seeing their enemy only have small bruises and cuts, and he was envelopes by red and orange color of energies.

"Tch, that guy had managed to block that attack in the last second?"

No one knew who this question intended to. But the owner of this question who's Markis, the bow user, had a face that wanted to escape from reality.

"Hey, Markis! What do you mean? Are you belittling my attack?!"

Markis chose to stay quiet and did not reply to Gale-Cutter, because it was true that Gale-Cutter's attacked was strong enough to finish any opponent of the same rank. And this enemy in front of them was apprentice only. So it was weird that he was able to stay alive in that situation.

The others were as surprised as him. The person they were currently fighting undoubtedly took the hit by Gale-Cutter's technique. But that guy was still alive.

Yeman after noticing their reaction showed a menacing look. Just right now, he received a contact from one of his people, saying that they completed their mission. Even without them telling him, he already knew that they accomplished their mission. Not because he received notification from the system, but because, he perceived the enemies aura disappeared one by one a moment ago.

He ordered the 15 captains to not kill them. He needed these people for the task he assigned at Elder Priest.

Although he needed their souls to expand his fountain of souls, for now, he found it least important than the assignment he assigned to Elder Priest. In any way, they would eventually die in the end, even if the experiment succeeded or not, their souls had no way of escaping from him.

The assignment he mentioned was about Magician's Seed. How to heal a person with broken Magician's Seed or how to extract them, and how to embed them at the person.

Since last time, he learned that someone took Eina's Magician's Seed. So he surmised that there was a way to extract and embed them — from and to — a magician. He had a feeling that Eman was a victim of MS(Magician's Seed) robbery like his sister.

Although he had no Magician's Seed right now, he could use magic skills like a sneak, which from his sub-class. He speculated that it was the remains of his magic energy that enable him to use that skill. That's why he believed that Eman was a magician at birth. Maybe something happened at him before.

And since not so many details about him in his diary, Yeman could only guess vaguely.

He also did not forget that Elder Priest was a former rat beast. However, he was talented in terms of magic spell compared to him who had little knowledge about it.

Right now...

As usual, his body did not take much damage from the attack he took, because of his high defense.

He felt the pain though.

That attack was much more powerful than before. But Yeman could endure the pain somehow. In any case, he was starting to get annoyed by the mark on his shoulder.

With a menacing look on his face, Yeman slowly took the glove on his left hand. Then pointing it to his shoulder, where the mark was located.

Electrifying energy gradually slithering upon his left-hand fingers.

The enemies were watching him with vigilance. They had no idea what he was doing or planning to do. But they felt something unusual. This was the first time that this enemy would do something.

Whenever he used his left hand, the tip of Yeman's fingers in this hand was sparkling in orange color. But this time, they were much brighter and the energies surfacing on each of his fingers were denser.

Actually, he was using his soul energy to increase the power of it. This mark on him could not be lifted by someone with a lower rank than the person who cast it. And because Yeman's Stun Finger was a skill from his main class which was 3rd stage Silver-Grade (III) Cultivator(Magician). In this case, he had a lower rank than his enemy who was at the 5th stage or peak Silver-Grade (V) Magician.

The assassin woman could not understand. But when she saw the energy oozing in Yeman's body, her eyes that peeking inside the hood widened in disbelief.

'That person was at apprentice rank only, but how did he manage to survive from Gale-Cutter's attack? Is this the real power of a lucky irregular? Wait... this energy — is different from magic energy!'

She couldn't believe. It was beyond her expectation. The person in front of him was having high physical and magical energy.

Although, all of her comrades had a doubtful expression on their faces. But the woman was sure that... 'Right now, he was as strong as a peak Silver-Grade magician!' she thought.

They noticed that Yeman's fingertips were glowing.

The woman was having bewildered expression after noticing the difference in the energy that Yeman was using.

The enemies could not figure what he was doing and what was the blinding glow that on top of his fingers. Since they could not sense the oscillation of magic energy on it. Magicians could feel the other magician's magic energy within them at a certain distance. But they could not feel something like Soul Energy.

However, it was different for the magician in the golden stage and above. They were sensitive to the flow of energy around them. That's why she was surprised to know that this person in front of them suddenly raised his energy at the peak of silver.

"Stun Finger!"

KreeeeaaaAAAAAAKKKK!!! After saying the name of the skill. Electrifying sounds and lights invaded the area in a moment.

Even he was under the rain, his body was smoking once again.

"W-What was that?" Someone from the enemy side asked.

Yeman was unaffected by this electricity. But

the enemies at the distance were affected by it because the surrounding was already littered by rainwater.

The effect wasn't strong enough to knock out them since they were at a safe distance.

The slight variation of electricity that conducted through the water traveled towards them who similarly drenched in rainwater.

Two people were unaffected by it, the woman that covered in black cloth and the person who evolves into a mole person which currently hiding underground. He has thick fur that covers all over his body. And this fur was resistant to lightning/electric magic attack.

"I - I c-can't move!" Gale-Cutter was bewildered after he realized that his body unable to move in accordance with his intention.

"W-What? The f-fuck my body... can't move."

Ray Boy was cursing. Like Gale-Cutter, he too couldn't move.

"I - I too...?" The archer named Markis muttered in puzzlement.

Yeman without wasting time charges towards the direction of one of the enemies.

"Looks like, I need to exercise my body." After realzing that her comrade was under some kind of spell, with menacing smile on her lips, she decided to join the fight.
