Chapter 73 - Attack 2

This hallway is empty, But I found security camera at the top. And it's in working condition. I breathed in relief seeing that. If my guess is true, then, in few minutes warriors from security team will arrive here. Then I have to hold on till they arrive. "Thank Goodness" I commented in my heart. 

At least there is a hope, I don't have to expose my special element now.  Then I decided to defend him using pure physical strength. As the assassin was inches away from me. I took the black sword from my storage ring and slashed at him.

The assassin casually walked towards him. He thought his aura is enough to stop his movements. Suddenly his eyes went wide.. Seeing a black sword aimed at him. The assassin concentration laps for a moment. Using that chance, Zack stood up. He used his right hand to hold the black sword.

He didn't want to use the left hand. So, the injury doesn't get worsen. The robber then adjusted his posture. Then he took a look at the Zack. He misunderstood that, Zack might be an early special trainee like him. Otherwise, it's impossible to make him dispel the aura. Reaching such conclusion. The robber got confused.

He didn't want to use elemental power. And there is a time limit for everything, His team made plans to rob few people. Then escape quickly before the security team catches up.  Being a special trainee, Its impossible to get caught by Trainee apprentice. Unless, their team has Warrior like bidder before him.

Seeing the bidder holding a black sword. The robber didn't want to waste time, with warrior having same strength like him. So he decided to escape.  But, Zack didn't give him a chance. He was blocking the exit.  It's the only exit in the hallway. Otherwise, the robber has to enter transaction room.  Not all transaction room have emergency exits. 

The robber was caught in a dilemma. Using this chance Zack used his sword to slash downward.  The robber defended the attack with his sword. Both of them continued to use a sword. They both had reason for not using elemental power. This idea didn't come to robber's mind for the time being.

He dealt the attacks of Zack. He is currently in dominating position. He used his sword moves to push Zack in backward position. Unlike this floor. The security teams caught up with other floors. But it didn't end well for them. Due to difference in power level. A lot of security warriors fell unconscious due to that.

One or two robbers in the team, successfully executed their plan. Some reached their destination outside of Thomas Trade Centre. After making several warriors unconscious. Time passes, only one robber is left behind in the building. The robber  is fighting, Zack.

Meanwhile, Zack's situation is defensive.

I got pushed backward by the attack of the assassin. The reason is simply the difference in power level, second is that, I'm using only one hand to defend. i didn't move my left hand for a second. Even though, I'm pushed backward, I'm lucky enough to not get injured.

Soon, the robbing news reaches the higher level. The administration of Thomas Trade Centre and Auciton Authorities. Then they dispatch hidden forces. Those people were special trainee level. Instructions were given to all the staffs. Suddenly, the area around Thomas Trade Centre isolated.

All the staffs doing their job were told to stop.  Several instructions were given to the staff. Who were handling transactions of auction items. They immediately stopped their transaction. All the entrance door to transactional room were closed. They were not normal doors. It's built in mind in such a way to deal with worst case scenario.

Meanwhile, The old man is dealing with Max.

He didn't want to waste any time. When he saw Max was left speechless due to fear. "It was your own bad luck" He said with a smile. Then he took out the black color hand knife from the storage ring. The hand knife was so sharp that, it makes people think. It made for slicing the throat. 

After hearing the old man's word. Max knew in his heart. This might be his last day. His family warned him of possible assassin threat. But, he didn't take it seriously. He thought he was common warrior. He is not so special to make other people jealous. But looks like that's not the case.

Image of Zack appeared in his mind. He felt guilt for dragging Zack in this situation. He thought this assassin must have met Zack earlier and killed him. Then he moves towards me. He felt bad that, Zack is dead because of me. As he was thinking with such a fright, that he failed to notice.

That, there was a sharp knife. It was held by the assassin. The old man made Max look like frozen state.  After holding hand knife in his hand. He touches the blade to test its sharpness. It made a small cut on his finger. "Sharp as ever" The old man said with a smile. 

He then looks towards Max. And sliced his throat with his hand knife. Blood gushed like water from his neck. Earlier, due to extreme fear. His brain has been shut down. He lost all the senses, including pain. He didn't even feel that his throat was cut. It was extremely fast. 

The cut was made. There is no single drop of blood on the blade.  Due to excessive blood loss, Max lost his strength and his body fell down. From the beginning due to extreme fear, Max lost his reasoning. Till now, he couldn't realize what was happening. He felt he is being dragged into a long sleep. Like that Max breathed his last breath.

The old Man saw, Max Stewart's last moments. He then took out a small bottle from the storage ring. If one looked at it. They will find species smaller than insects living in it. It was special species. The old man poured down the bottle on the dead body of Max Stewart.
