Chapter 164 Battle Of The Tormented (14)

Of course, the general gave us an earful as well in the morning when they were just about to set off.

…

"Are you fucking kidding me!? Not only did all of you get blasted, but you also got my fucking men drunk out of their minds! If it weren't for the healers here, we would've had to wait another fucking day to go!" The general shouted as we all sat in a circle in our tent… ignoring the dude yelling at us.

All of us were way too hungover to try and talk back, but we also wanted to yell at him as his yelling was only making our heads throb more.

We just couldn't muster up the strength to try and talk back, so we just sat there, staring off into space until the general finally stopped talking.

"Ugh… As punishment, you all will stay here and clean all the movable toilets. Dispose of the waste yourselves, and then once you're done, take a shower and help out the nurses. If you detect any irregularities, then immediately kill them. No need to capture anybody," The general sighed before storming out of the tent.

"Food… I need food," Bella groaned, and as well all limply stood up like zombies, a few nurses came into the tent to help us get over our hangover.

Their warm lights of healing quickly invaded our bodies and hugged us with such care that we almost fell asleep.

…

Once we had finished cleaning all the toilets, we took a shower and then made our way to the infirmary, where the nurses immediately started ordering us around.

We were practically their slaves until a few of us detected a dangerous presence quickly approaching all of us with such speed you'd think it was a fighter jet.

"Hmmmmm… A few assassins are here," I muttered, and after giving the nurse beside me a stern look, she sighed and then waved all of us off before wishing us good luck as we went to take care of the pests.

It was a group of about ten assassins who traveled within the shadows of our camp, so we all separated and acted as guards with our weapons in hand.

Though, Luna stayed with me as I'm sure she wouldn't be able to react in time to save herself from the daggers that would most certainly sink into the sides of her head.

These guys were experienced, and judging from the amount of power radiating from them, they were most likely a corp that worked together.

So, splitting up meant we could draw the attention of some of the other assassins who I'm sure will underestimate us.

I mean, why would you leave such powerful soldiers back at camp when you're performing a raid on the bases of these wealthy war addicts.

"Why do you think they came here, though?" I muttered as I had a few theories, but none of them were really concrete.

"To achieve a small win that would lower the morale of our army. I'm sure they would send a letter with the head of one of the head healers here," Luna muttered, and all of a sudden, I twirled my dark red spear in my hand and sliced it behind Luna's head.

SHING

The blur that appeared behind her tumbled into Luna's back, knocking her to the ground as I ducked down, dodging three more pairs of daggers.

"That's… a bit dangerous," I muttered to myself as a droplet of sweat dripped onto the handle of my spear.

SHING SHING SHING

There were four here, but I had killed the one who tried to take out Luna first… but that doesn't everybody here is the real amount of everybody here.

"Okay, now that you lost your chance to sneak attack, are you going to retreat or still go for the kill. I mean, I've already discovered you, so how about you be smart and back the fuck away,"

"Shut up, kid, and let us finish our job," One of the assassins said before they took a synchronized step and disappeared into thin air.

FWOOSH… CLANG CLANG CLANG

I deflected the first few attacks, but then their synchronization came in to help save their asses, as with each time I blocked or deflected an attack, another one would come in and slice up my arm.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

Eventually, their speed was too much, and their attacks dug deeper and deeper into me, eventually slowing me down to a point where I could barely move.

"ORION! HELP-"

Suddenly, a dagger was stabbed into the back of Luna's neck, killing her instantly, and as I saw her life slowly drift away, a sharp edge slit my throat.

"HUFF… HUFF… HUFF… Alright, let's keep moving," One of the assassins muttered before feeling a chill get sent down their spine.

The two others felt the chill as well, causing them to back up and place their backs against each other.

"Kekekekeke… KAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!"

Suddenly, two people were sitting on the roof, cackling to themselves maniacally at the top of a pretty sturdy tent.

"H-Huh? Didn't we kill them?" One of the assassins muttered, and after only a quick nod, all three of them dashed towards the two humans whose silhouette had suddenly faded away into thin air.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

All of a sudden, on each tent surrounding the assassin trio, the same pair of humans sat on the roof, laughing maniacally as their sadistic and almost psychotic smiles touched the very bottom of their ears.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Surprised and almost dazed, the assassins all placed their backs together as sweat-drenched them, a sense of dread quickly washing over their entire body.

And then, a snap rang throughout the air, like a warning sign for the incoming blade quickly approaching the backs of their necks.

SHING

But, that spear coming from behind them quickly faded out of existence, only to see their visions flip upside down and then go completely black.

"Kukukuku… That was fun," Luna muttered as she licked her lips.

"Mhm… Anyway, let's see if the others took care of the rest," I muttered as I wiped the blood off my cheek and kicked the falling corpse away from me.
