《Dark Chronicles》CH 49 Assassins
Advertisement
Deep underground inside a secret chamber a beautiful woman sat behind a silk curtain.Inside the chamber, there were other people who all wore dark clothes and face plates.The doors to the chamber suddenly slammed open.
"Mistress I have urgent news."
"Well go ahead don't leave us in suspense."
"The RockFist gang has been completely destroyed."
"What, when did this happen?"
"Just last night mistress."
"In one night the entire gang was destroyed."
"Yes, mistress."
"There was only one survivor. "
"What did they have to say."
"Nothing mistress only that the attacker gave her a message to deliver to everyone she knows."
"What was the message."
"No one is to touch sister Trish's orphanage."
"Sister Trish's orphanage what have they got to do with us."
"We do not know mistress, but if you would like I will send some men around to question the sister"
"No that won't be necessary.Pandora go meet this survivor of the RockFist gang and see what you can get out of her."
A Women dressed in all black bows her head then leaves into the shadows.
"Vega are you here"
A male dressed in all red light armor, wearing a mask that resembled a serpent's head walk out of the shadows he bowed towards the women.
"Yes I am here mistress"
"I was recently given a new target by the second king he wishes for us to kill someone named Kaito, all the information on him will be given to you by Aldwin."
"When would you like him to cross over to the other side mistress"
"Tonight, take whatever you need just make sure he dies before his next match in the arena"
"It shall be done, mistress"
"Good"
The man named Vega disappears into the shadows.
I was lucky I got there just in time before my match had started. The sun is starting to set for today I should find a place to stay.I was able to find a small inn to sleep in for the night.The room didn't have much furniture besides a bed and a table luckily it had a bath tub and toilet.
I sit down on the bed and start my meditation.A few hours later after the sun has completely set for the day.
'Kaito'
'You're surrounded right now'
'I know there's at least six of them in the halls and I don't know how many outside'

'Got any plans'
'A few'
'Well be careful one of the people outside has a variant magic'
'Variant magic?'
'Yes it's a term used for people who have rare types of mana flowing through their veins'
'Can you tell what kind of variant is out there'
'No all I can tell is there magic is so powerful I can sense it from here'
'Well it seems like I won't be getting any sleep tonight then'
I get off my bed and walk to the window.I open it up and take in the scenery.I take a few step back from the window I get a running then leap out the window and land on the roof across from my room.
"Hey who ever you are I know you're there so can you stop hiding"
"Hahaha ain't you a little surprise"
I man dressed in light red armor steps from the shadows,covering his face is a snake mask.
'Drake is he the one with the variant mana'
'Yes, be careful'
"You know when I was sent to kill you I just thought fuck another boring little mistake I have to take care of but now you surprise me there are not a lot of people who can detect me"
"Well, thanks for the compliment I think.But I think I will be going for a run come join if you want."
I start running from rooftop to rooftop.he assassins follow me some shoot off some arrows at me, I dodge them with some simple movement.
None of them seem to be able to keep up with my speed or they are just holding back, for now, either way, I just have to lead them to a deserted place then I can take care of them.
I finally decide to face them in a deserted courtyard.The assassins surround me,the one in snake mask lands across from me.
"So why did you bring us here"
"I brought you here so you could die"
Each of the assassins draws a weapon, except for the one wearing the snake mask he just crossed his arms
"Kill him"
The assassins rush at me with their weapons drawn.
"Stop"
The stop dead in their tracks.
"Now die"
Each one drops to the floor dead.I turn my back to the scene ready to leave.
"Hahahaha Now this is very interesting you were able to kill all my men without even moving

The man wearing the snake mask pushes himself off the floor,stands back up.
"You're still alive?"
"Yes, now how did you kill my men here?"
"That's my secret"
"One I'm going to enjoy getting out of you"
The ground underneath my feet starts shaking like an earthquake.Next thing I know some invisible force sent me flying into the wall behind me.I feel several ribs are broken and my left arm is dislocated.
'Drake what was that'
'My best guess would have to be sound magic'
'Sound magic?'
'Yes it's when someone can use their mana to great or even control vibrations,that's what he just hit you with a massive sonic boom and how he destroyed you blood mana he probably made it so that when any foreign object enters his body it gets disintegrated by high-intensity vibrations.'
'Great, do you know of any way to beat that'
'I do but at you level, you couldn't pull it off'
'So what do you suggest I do'
'Run'
That's easy to say when I can bearly move my body.
"Hey, Kaito have you ever heard of the RockFist gang because last night they were completely wiped out by someone with your exact power.And you know my boss is really upset about it because that was one of her enforcer gangs in this territory so now I'm going to have to capture you for interrogation.
Dammit if a leave now and he reports this to his boss they'll know I was the one who wiped out the RockFist gang.
'Drake you said you know of a way to defeat his sound magic'
'Yes I said that I also said you're not ready to use it'
'Well I'm not running away so there's only one option left'
'Fine to defeat sound magic you need to great your own vibrations the only way to do that is to shoot your blood magic fast enough to great a sonic boom'
'I can do that'
'Yes but it will be hard'
I use my blood magic to cover the surrounding ground in blood.
"What is this blood,this won't save you Kaito"
The man with the snake mask sends more sonic booms at me which I can now see thanks to the ripples they make on the blood.
Okay, I just need to shoot my blood at sonic speeds I can do that.I summon four bullets of blood,I begin to rotate them around my body as I jump around dodging the sonic blasts.Soon the pick up enough speed that I shoot them off at the snake mask man.The blood comes close but then hit an invisible wall made from sound.
Fuck it didn't work.
"Now what were you trying to those little things"
"I was trying to kill you "
Alright, I have an idea. I pull in all the blood on the ground and use it to form a dome around me,it shakes when one of his sonic booms hits it but it doesn't break yet.I continue to ball up all my blood mana like a huge elastic band just red to snap, but it needs more friction before it can great a sonic boom.
Cracks start to appear in the dome, the shaking becomes more frequent it's going to crumble soon.
"Don't worry Kaito once I've cracked this open I'm only going to destroy your arms and legs so it's easy for me to carry you around"
"Come in here and get me then"
I'm almost done just some more energy and it will be finished, I condense the ball to an even smaller.Crack and splitting sounds come from my skin my arm starts to bleed, I can now see all the flesh under my arm, I can't stop now.
The entire dome shatters and crumbles to dust.
"I've got you now"
"Fuck you"
I shoot the ball of blood off at the snake mask wearing man.He takes it head on to the chest
*BOOOOMMMM!!!!*
The sonic boom generated by the blast through several walls, I finally stop after hitting the fourth wall.All the surrounding structures have been reduced to absolute rubble.I can barely move my body I think my arm is shattered,yep it's bleeding bad and bones are sticking out of it.I start healing my entire body, first all the internal bleeding then all the external injuries.That sonic blast blood bomb should only be used as a last resort it's simply too powerful, it's completely different from my atomized blood that is a quick clean killing method while this new weapon is just a big destructive bomb.
I was finally able to move after healing myself.I walked out from under the rubble, back into the courtyard.The place was now a crater I looked around to see if I could find any trace of the man but all I found was a damaged snake mask.
I looked around some more just to make sure but couldn't find anything.After I was completely sure that there were no remains of him left I disappeared into what remains of the night.
