Chapter 817: A Childish Smile With A Big Shadow

Pov An Assassin's:

The day after the meeting with Riley, I found the boy, he has a Security guard that protects him at all times, and he seems to have the same strength as me more or less from what I can see of his Aura without being discovered, that means that his strength is around King Superior Grade.

I watch them for a few hours, they walk aimlessly through the city, the boy always has a smile on his face saying where he wants to go, and the security guard says little only when the boy talks to him first.

The security guard seems to have more developed muscles in his arms, I also see a sword on his waist, he is always watching the surroundings, but his movement is a little stiff, he must be a Soldier, maybe a Knight from somewhere, that means this boy must be a Noble.

"If this Dragonewt's focus is on strength, then I'll be able to outrun him in speed, I don't need to fight back since my target is just the boy." (I)

I form a plan in my head with the information I've learned so far, I'm going to use my speed and full strength to kill the boy in the first hit after that I just need to run away.

Trying to fight Dragonewt will cause destruction in the surroundings and draw attention that I don't need, so I have to eliminate the boy and run away, even if I'm chased by Dragonewt afterwards it won't matter, it will be easy to lose him.

"Now let's put that plan into practice." (I)

----------

I follow the boy to a food stall, it's already the 8 he passes just today, this stall is empty and it's close to an alley, besides there's no one else on that parallel street.

"An opportunity." (I)

"< High Speed Water Flow >" (I)

I wait for Dragonewt to put the food in his mouth, so at that moment I hold my short sword in one hand while activating two physical enhancement skills using Ki and Mana of the water element, my sword has an effect that ignores magic barriers.

I was on top of a 4 story building, in the shadow of another larger building, I was positioned on the boy's right side while Dragonewt was on his left, I was positioned perfectly for my plan.

This time I really realized that I kicked an Orichalcum plate, this time while the boy was talking I heard two voices talking at the same time as a big shadow appeared behind the boy.

One voice was childlike and calm, this was the voice of the boy who was decapitated a few seconds ago, the other voice was coming from that shadow and had a macabre tone in the voice as each word carried palpable killing intent that shivered through my body filled with fear.

This giant shadow was only composed of 2 big red eyes and a mouth with sharp shadow teeth, with a smile similar to the boy's.

"I will dispose of the corpse, Lord Shadow." (Dragonewt)

I wanted to speak, scream and if it worked even beg, but I couldn't move or speak, it was like the shadows were sucking my power.

All I could see was that creature in the form of a child approaching me, little by little.

Pov Zenos:

After finding out that I'm being wanted by Assassins, I started thinking about possible situations that could happen, I didn't say this to others, but there could still be a chance that the next Assassins will be much stronger than me.

"Do you have any ideas what to do about the Assassins?" (I)

"You don't have to do anything, your appearance and Aura have changed a lot, it would be difficult for anyone to recognize you, but the same cannot be said for others." (Elsaris)

"I think we can stay here a little longer, from the information they didn't know if it was you, that's why someone so weak was sent." (Kira)

What Kira says makes sense, maybe I'm getting overly worried about nothing, nobody has any evidence about me being with her yet, so Rudolfo should be fine.

Feeling a little more relieved, I start thinking about what else I have to do in this city.
