Looking at the Black organization's men gathered in one place, Leo can't help but to reveal a mischievous smile on his face as he slowly walks to close the distance between them.

Meanwhile, the gathered Black organization's men were looking around at each other, waiting for what the others would respond to their leader's question.

After a few seconds, one of them finally stood up for the sake of the others with a shook of his head as he said, "Let's retreat... Going any further would just be stupid. We can complete the mission again anyway, but our lives can never be brought back once we die!"

Richton just let out a smile on his face after hearing what one of his men had said. He didn't dare to make any further decision at this moment on since he knew for himself that the others with him were already very dissatisfied with his leadership. Even he was also feeling dissatisfied with his skill as a leader. Also, making any further decision for everyone's sake any longer would surely cause him to take all the blame later on. Although he knew that he would still take the blame after this, at least, his men wouldn't be too dissatisfied with him anymore. Hence, there would still be hope for him to rebuild and redeemed his image the next time around.

That was the only thing that Richton cares about at this moment. After escaping this place, he would try again and improve himself to prove to everyone that he was an outstanding leader. After all, the higher the position he would have in the Black organization, the more power he could control in the organization. And the contrary to that, the moment he loses his position, the only outcome for him was to become a tool for the Black organization.

Richton knew just how cruel the Black organization was to its own members. The higher-ups wouldn't even care about sacrificing hundreds or even thousands of its members just for the sake of a single goal. That was how cruel the Black organization was! And if ever he fell into a lower rank, his Fate would also be the same as those sacrificial pawns.

However, although the Black organization was cruel to its members, they were also very generous to them. Every member with high ranks could command dozens or hundreds of other lower-ranking members, and could even receive plenty of resources for themselves. Money was also not a problem to their members anymore as all of their members could receive a lot depending on how much they had contributed to the organization.

Those were the exact reason why Richton had joined the Black organization, despite knowing that their end goal was the destruction of the Human race. After all, he was a Mage, and getting stronger was his number one goal. Who cares if what he is currently doing would make the entire Human race crumble and fall. As long as he was still alive and had successfully become strong, then he would just simply rebuild the Human race later on. Moreover, at that time, he would also be worshiped as the God of every Humans as he was the one that had saved them from the brink of extinction. After that, everything that belongs to the Humans would also belong to him. As long as he wanted something, especially Elizabeth, the Humans would willingly give it to him. And all of the Humans would definitely forget that he was actually one of the causes of the Humans' near extinction.

"You would also be taking the blame with me after this..." Richton thought to himself. That person who had decided to speak up for everyone's sake would surely take the blame along with him after this, which would also decrease his punishment. Although he was the leader, he could just simply say that he was helpless since everyone was already scared enough and wanted to leave as soon as possible due to the danger of dying. Hence, despite being the leader assigned to this mission, he could only follow the decision of the majority as he can't complete the mission alone. Of course, he would report it secretly to avoid his men's dissatisfaction.

"Since your words also represent everyone's choice, then let's leave this place, quick!" Richton exclaimed before he quickly motioned for everyone to leave the place.

However, the moment everyone started moving towards the direction of the exit of the cave, a figure is hidden within the darkness suddenly went to grab the head of the person that had proposed the idea of retreating and quickly slitting a dagger through that person's throat.

*Slit!

That helpless person's body immediately fell to the ground, dead, followed after by the figure hidden in the darkness slowly revealing himself.

At this moment, Leo's face was covered by the black clothes he is currently wearing like everyone else from the Black organization. So, he wasn't afraid of anyone recognizing him.

Even though Richton was the one actually leading this group, he would still not be able to find out that the assassin was actually Leo.

"Who are you?!" Richton immediately asked after seeing the assassin revealing himself.

"Ask your Dark God himself the moment you face him!" Leo quickly launched himself towards the next nearby target.

"Tch, you dare not answer my question!" Richton exclaimed angrily as he put his hand up in front of him, casting an Ice Chain spell.

Sky blue colored Magic circle quickly formed on Richton's hand, and dozens of chains made out of ice launched themselves directly towards Leo right after.

Seeing the ice chains shooting in his direction, Leo quickly dodged to the side. Although the ice chains were fast, he was still a lot faster, hence he was able to successfully dodge the Magic spell.

However, the other Mages, specifically 5, were also given enough time to cast their own Magic spells, aiming straight towards Leo while he was still up in his mid-air motion due to dodging the Ice Chain spell.

"Fire Ball!"

"Meteor Shot!"

"Nature Vines!"

"Water whip!"

"Earth spikes!"

5 Different Magic spells quickly shoot towards Leo the moment he had landed on the ground. Although he knew he wouldn't be able to dodge those 5 incoming Magic spells anymore, that still doesn't mean that he cannot block them.

The moment the 5 different Magic spells reach right in front of Leo, an Earth Elemental suddenly enlarged itself in front of him, successfully blocking the 5 different incoming Magic spells.

However, the Earth Elemental was also immediately destroyed after receiving all those Magic spells.

Although the Elementals were indeed powerful, that was only the case if they were Nature's Wrath. The Elementals summoned by Leo weren't comparable to those of Nature's Wrath yet, as his Elementals stats totally depended on his own power.

So, the moment the 5 different Magic spells hit the Earth Elemental, it was then directly blasted into pieces, since the power of the Pure Mana that made up the body of the Earth Elemental was not enough to receive such a combination of Magic spells.

"What the f*ck was that!" One of the Mages immediately exclaimed out loud.

"I don't know, but it looked like some kind of Human-made out of rock..." Another Mage quickly followed up.

"Less talking, keep on fighting! Mages continue casting Magic spells! Melee and Range fighters prepare to surround the assassin! Don't let that assassin escape after taking the lives of our fellow people. Let's show that assassin that offending the Black organization was a really stupid thing to do!" Richton immediately ordered. Though the assassin had successfully blocked all of their attack, which was something he was sure even he himself wouldn't even be able to handle, that doesn't necessarily mean that they can waste their time talking with each other. It wasn't the end after the assassin blocked all of their attacks, right?

"It's my turn now!" Leo smiled behind the crumbling Earth Elemental. He wasn't a fool to just wait for another wave of attack after watching his Earth Elemental slowly crumbling due to the attack it had received from the 5 Mages of the Black organization.

Suddenly, two Earth Elemental enlarged themselves right inside the circle of the 5 Mages of the Black organization before quickly piercing the two nearby Mages with their hand that was currently in the shape of an icicle.

"Argh!"

"Argh!"

The two Mages immediately spat out a mouthful of blood to the ground after being pierced through by the two Earth Elementals.

*Whoosh! *Whoosh!

After piercing the two Mages, the two Elementals immediately slid their sharp hands to different sides, hence cutting the body of the two Mages into almost half. Only half of its entire body in the middle remained to connect to the other part of the body.

The Mage's death immediately caused the preparing Black organization's men to panic.

Two of their fellow members were quickly killed in such a gruesome and easy way. No one here wanted to become next. So, to escape as soon and as far as possible from this place can't help as it immediately took over everyone's mind. Even Richton, the leader, can't help but also think of escaping quickly.

"Runaway from the assassin!"

Everyone didn't dare to stay anymore as they quickly started running for their lives.

Richton was still calm at this moment, so he was able to quickly cast a Wind Walk spell to himself, causing his speed to become faster compared to the others, hence easily overtaking everyone and becoming the person in the very front of the running Black organization's men.

No one was a fool here. After seeing the assassin easily killing the two Mages, they immediately made their own two feet run away from the place as they thought in their minds that fighting any longer with the assassin would just be useless since they would surely die no matter how much they fight.

Also, they knew for that fact that the majority of the assassin wouldn't just dare accept any mission that they were incapable of completing. Since that assassin had dared to go up against them, and could even easily kill two of their Mages, then obviously that only meant that the assassin was capable of eliminating all of them.

If Leo could hear these people's thoughts, then he would 100% reply with, "What?! The word assassin itself could already scare the hell out of them!"

To be honest, when Leo was being attacked by some assassins when he was still young, he didn't even felt a slight bit of fear as he even launched himself directly and without any hesitation towards that assassin. Moreover, at that time, the assassin was also his Master, the leader of all the assassins in Silver Kingdom.

"Seriously?" Leo had even hoped that these people would put up a great fight since they were so brave at that one moment. They were even capable of causing him to lose one of his Earth Elementals, yet they were immediately scared the moment just two of their members died.

Well, that was actually understandable. There were already 10 dead Black organizations plus the two Mages that were killed easily just now, and everyone at this moment was currently thinking of not being the next one to die. So quickly falling into a panic was an expected outcome already.

Moreover, they were already very exhausted. They just went through a physically and mentally taxing battle for less than or over 5 hours straight. Obviously, that reason alone could already automatically sent them into a disadvantageous position from the very beginning of Leo's appearance.

So, everyone had the same line of thought that fighting would just cause them their deaths, and escaping was the only way that they can stay alive.

Seeing the Black organization soldier escaping, Leo also quickly followed behind them after casting the Speed Increase spell to himself. He had tried this before in the library of the villa, but he hadn't yet tried it on a battlefield. Since he was given an opportunity this time, he might as well try it until the very end of this battle, right?

Soon, Leo finally reached behind a very exhausted person. This person was currently wearing heavy armor, causing his body to become really heavy, and hence his running had become really slow and very energy consuming, too.

"1!" Leo started counting after quickly taking the life out of that person in front of him. He then runs towards another person wearing heavy armor.

*Whoosh!

"2!"

*Whoosh!

"3!"

*Whoosh!

"4!"

.....

*Whoosh!

"8!"

Finally, Leo was done killing all the melee fighters. The next target was the range fighter and the Mages.

Of course, first would be the range fighters since they were just a bit farther away from the melee fighters. Also, the Mages naturally also casted Support Magic spells to themselves after watching Richton cast one to himself, so Leo needed to eliminate the range fighter first before being able to reach those Mages.

The range fighters were always at the very back during the entire duration of the battle and were also the position that consumed the least amount of energy. Hence, they were still able to run away fast despite being tired.

Unfortunately, though, a Speed Increase spell wasn't something that a mere ordinary running can hope to compare with.

"You guys are next!" Leo smiled before quickly dashing towards them.
