Eleven down. Zero to go. Hehe. This was an impeccable assassination. None of them noticed me and got assassinated quietly. Still, these demons look exactly as I expected. Varying skin colors. Horns. Only consistency is color of their eyes. They all have black eyes. I meant pitch-black with no white.

Got to admit, looks cool. And I these ones I think were some kind of assassins, from their attire. They frankly look like ninjas. But for ninjas, their senses sucked. I could just walk behind them and cut their necks.

Well, it may have been my camouflage that was too strong. Anyway, I got rid of all the demons outside the mansion. Now let’s see what is happening inside this mansion, shall we.

I open the mansion’s door. As soon as I enter the mansion, I see red miasma. This is very unpleasant. Empty as Cosmo’s head. Hehe. That was funny.

Still, it may look empty from the looks, but there is someone or something here. Ooh, this feeling is nostalgic. Brings back to memory time when I first crossed the first boundary.

Instinct to turn around and urge to push through. This disharmony. I might die here. Hehe. I have issues. One would normally run when he suspects he might die. But my feet take me inside the mansion before I even realized. This is an issue. Hehe.

Now usually according to the scripts, there should be someone appearing in front of me and telling me something and fighting me.

While walking deeper into the mansion I hear women laughing. And I see the miasma converging together and forming three women. More specifically three succubi. I wonder what happened to the fourth one.

So far, everything is going according to the script except one thing. They are wearing full body armor. Not unnecessarily revealing ones. One standing right most is holding a rapier next one is holding a spear and the last one is holding a whip.

They are succubi, aren’t they supposed to fight differently? Anyway, now for the monologue.

“Die.”

Shit, spear wielding one lunges at me with single word. I was expecting a monologue from them. Her spearhead directly aims my head. I crouch to dodge the spear. She immediately swipes down on me. I jump to my right to dodge the spear.

Before I know it, metal whip comes down on my back from behind and scratches my back, drawing blood. I enter camouflage and try to distance myself from the succubi, but sword wielding one blocks my way like she sees me.

As soon as I understood that, I summon my wolf. This corridor is too small for my wolf to be full sized. So, I summon three normal sized ones. As soon as they see my wolves, they stop attacking me for a moment and observes the situation.

Shit, their teamwork is almost impeccable. While thinking that I activate my full gear covering myself in my full body armor. With this I think I can ignore the whip, but for other two, it is still dangerous. From way they are fighting, I think spear wielder attacks first distracting the target.

And whip wielding one uses the opening to inflict damage. I don’t know the sword wielders duty. So, in order to win, I need to disrupt their teamwork. Then divide and conquer it is.

I sick my two wolves on the spear wielder and last one on the sword wielder. I myself takes on the whip wielder.

My wolves lunge on their perspective targets and I lunge at my target as I charge my gauntlets. Just as I get in range of the whip wielder, she melds into the miasma like she appeared before and before I know it, she is standing behind me. Her whip entangles around my neck and tightens.

Unfortunately for her, her whip fails to disform my armor and inflicts zero damage on my neck. I turn around and get ahold of her whip and tug it toward myself.

As I tug her whip, she lets it go and melds into miasma again. As I wait for her to appear again, I feel stinging feeling on my back and jump to my right. While jumping I see sword skewering where I was standing moment ago.

Sword wielding succubus is standing there looking at me. Hell? What happened to my wolf? As I look around, I see it vanishing into thin air. I look to the other two and see only one getting skewered by a spear.

After getting rid of my wolves they line up again. Whip wielding one appears next to them. So, I suppose divide and conquer failed. Then let’s try using the environment to my advantage.

As soon as I decide that, I take a deep breath and throw fire from my mouth. They try to meld into the miasma as soon as they see me breathing fire, but they are slightly late as they get burned a little before vanishing.

Just as I was about to stop, I notice something. My flames are burning the miasma. Wherever my flame passes, miasma around that area gets erased. But another thing bothering me is: mansion’s walls aren’t getting burned by my flames.

There must be some kind of spell reinforcing them. As I continue to burn the miasma, I feel another stinging sensation on my back. But this time I fail to dodge it.

Sword pierces through me from my back. Shit. As it pierces through me, I couldn’t help but stopping my breath. I swipe with my right leg as I spin around and manage to get the sword wielding one with my kick. As my kick connect, I put even more strength into it and throws the succubus into the wall.

After throwing her into the wall, I immediately pounce on her with my charged gauntlet and my first technique. Just as I was about to hit her, I see spear heading for my head from my left side. I don’t stop, instead I bring my left arm in front of the spear’s path and let it pierce my palm.

As soon as it pierces my palm, I grip it and changes its direction.

BOOM!

AAAAAA!

As I hit the sword wielding succubus in the gut with my gauntlet, she lets out a scream and losses consciousness immediately after.

While I was dispatching her sister, spear wielding one tries her best to wrest her spear out of my grip. While she was concentrating on her spear, I throw a fire ball on her helmeted face and she lets go of her spear as my fireball throws her back.

Whip wielding one catches her. Now both of them lost their weapons. I take out the sword from my back. As I do that my world tree starts to heal me.

I walk up to the unconscious one and lift her up by her neck and look to the other two.

“Now, I would like to ask a few questions. I hope for your sister’s sake, you will be cooperative.”

They don’t let out a peep. But from their body gesture I see them hesitating. So, I think they do value her. Let’s use that.

I bring her sword up to her throat and grazes her armor with it. And as I do that, I notice the other two fidgeting. Just as I expected.

“Now, who is behind all this? What is that red magic circle above the city and what is the objective of one who’s behind all this?”

I see them hesitating. I think they need stronger motivation. I push the sword even stronger on her neck and slices through her armor, drawing blood.

“I will give you five more seconds to answer or she will die.”

“One, two, three, four, fi…”

“Wait.”

One of the speaks.

“We will tell you. So, don’t kill her.”

“Don’t worry, if you give me information I want, I promise I won’t kill her.”

“Okay. One who’s behind all this I…”

“Don’t tell him anything.”

Just as she was about to spill, my hostage awakens and immediately cuts her head off with the sword I was holding up to her neck.

“NOOO!!!”

“NOOO!!!”

As her head falls on the ground other two scream on top of their lungs. Shit. That was unexpected.
