Fantasy Assassin in a modern world - Chapter 184 - 184 Bloody yet beautiful sight

184 Bloody yet beautiful sight

The three remaining bloodthirsty people looked at Fade and were no longer smiling like before, even the man who kept talking about drinking blood was quiet. The woman took out some throwing knives, the elegant-looking man had taken out a rapier, and the man with messy hair took out another long knife. The three of them got into a fighting stance no longer taking it easy as their bodies exuded heavier killing intent.

“Hmph, you guys think you’re killers with such lukewarm killing intent?”

After Fade spoke his killing intent became even more intense. The killing intent he exuded was different from the three bloodthirsty killers. Fade’s killing intent was so intense that the four people opposing him had hallucinated had they would die at the hands of Fade.

Yet despite seeing such a scene and knowing Fade’s power the trio who felt fear moments ago no longer felt it but instead the fear became excitement. All their thoughts revolved around killing Fade or being killed by Fade.

…

In the distance Ichika and Erika who was watching the battle were amazed. Each attack Fade made was so decisive and he only needed one or two hits to kill his opponent.

“So this is the famous urban legend, Fade,” Ichika whispered to herself.

“There are no wasted movements at all, every subtle movement he makes seems to have a meaning. Just watching from afar I can tell, he seems to be using the environment, the psychology of his opponents, the opponent’s own strength, his own equipment, everything is used as a weapon to kill the enemy as efficiently as possible.” Erika spoke in awe.

The two geniuses of such famous clans have seen people more powerful than Fade, but this was the first time they have seen such precision. The battlefield has always been chaotic but Fade’s battle was so clean, it was like he created order in the chaos.

…..

The two of them thought that after Fade had defeated the goons the only one left would be the leader of these kidnappers, but then four people with powerful auras suddenly came as reinforcements. Each one of those four seems to be at least as powerful as the leader of the group, in fact, they felt even more powerful.

As they started to worry about what was going to happen next, to their surprise Fade suddenly rushed forward. They couldn’t understand what Fade wanted to do, surely against opponents of that level he needed to at least be cautious, their thoughts quickly changed when they saw what happened next.

They have seen Fade’s precision in battle, and his skill and technique were at the top, but the two ladies thought that Fade’s hard power was a little worse than others, yet the thing they saw next changed their opinions.

Fade punched out with a strength he hasn’t shown while killing the other opponents, that single punch flattened the face of a rank seven martial artist. Even though the other party had let his guard down due to overconfidence he was still a rank seven martial artist which was completely different from those rank six ones killed before. After rank five each rank up is a qualitative leap.

‘Just how powerful is Fade?’ Erika thought to herself and continued to watch Fade’s fight, she didn’t even want to blink.

…

The woman started throwing her knives at Fade who simply bent his finger and caught the flying knives with his wires, but then once he caught them they exploded. The power of the explosion wasn’t that strong but it created a smoke screen of sorts.

Fade didn’t need to use his sense of sight to see knew that the man with the rapier used the smoke screen to lunge at him. The man came out of the smoke his rapier about to pierce Fade’s heart but Fade who already knew that he was coming easily evaded by sidestepping.

The moment Fade evaded the messy-haired man had silently appeared behind him, and the woman had once again thrown knives but for some reason, she threw them upwards. Fade did not bother with the flying knives as his focus was on the man who used the moment he was distracted to get behind him.

Fade shifted his head slightly to the left evading the stab of the messy-haired man, Fade then quickly jerked his right shoulder upward precisely hitting the man’s wrist, the power of that shoulder tap was able to change the trajectory of the enemy’s hand a bit. Fade then lifted his elbow upwards and using the momentum of the messy-haired man hitting him right in his jaw.

The messy-haired man was stunned for a moment but that single moment was fatal. Fade grabbed the messy-haired man’s extended arm and did a shoulder throw, as the messy-haired man was about to hit the ground Fade kicked his head like a football.

That single kick was like a sharp sword actually making the messy-haired man’s head separate from his own body. Killing the messy-haired man only took two seconds, and once he was done with him, Fade continued to throw the body directly at the man with the rapier.

Fade then noticed that the flying daggers thrown by the woman were actually falling in his direction. Fade plucked a few stands of hair used the [Enhancement] spell on the strands of hair and threw them at each flying knife. The flying knives that were hit exploded in mid-air, as that was happening the man with the rapier started to attack Fade more fiercely than before.

As the elegant man was in mid-motion of his stab, Fade kicked the hand holding the rapier upward. The man was unable to react on time as Fade’s hand pierced through his chest. Now the only remaining enemies were the leader of the group and the woman.

Fade took the rapier off the dead man’s hands and threw it at the woman. Fade used multiple spells as he threw the rapier, he used the [Enhancement] spell to strengthen his body, he used the [Soaring Wind] spell to make the rapier that was thrown fly faster, and finally, he used [Reduced Weight] which was a practical spell used by construction workers in his old world to carry heavy objects, Fade this time used it to make the rapier lighter.

The speed of the rapier’s flight actually caused a sonic boom, which broke the windows of the nearby building. The speed was too fast that the woman was unable to do anything to defend herself as she was pierced through the heart and her body flew and was stuck on the wall of the nearby building.

…

The two girls who watched the entire scene had no words to say. It was raining blood and the corpses on the ground were numerous, in the midst of it all Fade who was standing among the corpses was drenched with the enemy’s blood. It was such a gory sight but for some reason, there was a beauty in it.

Now the only remaining enemy was the leader of the group. He simply watched as his strongest subordinates died one after another and sighed. There was no fear in his eyes only disappointment. The leader raised his hands and spoke to Fade.

“How about I surrender? If you let me live and I will give you all the information I have about my boss. So what do you say?”

Fade did not respond and looked at the two girls who were behind him. Seeing that everything was over the two girls came closer.

“What do you think?” Fade asked Ichika. The princess of the Kurumi Clan stared at the surrendering leader and thought for a second, after a while her eyes became sharper as she responded.

“I will allow you to live but you will be a prisoner of the Kurumi Clan, what do you say?”

“Are you going to torture me?”

“As long as you cooperate and tell the truth, I promise in the name of Kurumi Ichika the eldest daughter of the head of the Kurumi Clan that I will not treat you badly.”

“So will I be a prisoner for life?”

“… I won’t lie to you, the moment you step foot on the grounds of the Kurumi Clan you will never be able to leave… But, as long as you don’t do anything reckless and continue to cooperate you will at the least be able to live as a human being.”

“Live as a human being is it?…” The leader became silent after that. The leader stared straight into Ichika’s eyes and his lips arced upward as he responded.

“Fine, I want to try this living as a human being. I agree to your terms and will tell you all that I know. Here’s to our happy cooperation.” The leader extended his hand, and as Ichika approached and was about to shake his hand Fade’s intuition kicked in and he quickly grabbed Ichika and pulled her back.

The moment Fade pulled Ichika away the leader’s body suddenly exploded, there was a look of confusion in his eyes as he died.
