ACT 7 Salrins Towers

Y-you..

Someone was kneeling down clutching his chest which was soaked with blood. He breathed roughly while looking at the dozen bodies around him.The mans eyes were shaken. The masked assassins wearing black clothes.death for an assassin wasnt peaceful. They had killed others. They were prepared for their deaths. Death to them was just an ordinary part of their lives.But the death reflected in his eyes was different. Until now, he had believed that the 20 masked men who killed his brothers were also his siblings.Betrayal! Since they lived in the darkness together, it was rare for them to betray each other.The man lifted his head and bared his teeth.

You filthy traitors, arent you ashamed of lifting your sword with those hands? We might live in the darkness but we have our own pride. We are descendants of the great Hero Salrin, a Master Assassin. Did you guys forget that while following Nabein?

We did not forget. It would be impossible to forget.

That is why we cannot accept a foreigner as the leader.

We will strike you all down to defend the pride of the clan.

Is that so?

The man stared at them with piercing eyes.The assassins flinched while the man opened his mouth.

The Elders would always say it. Although we live in the darkness, we shouldnt let the darkness inhabit our hearts. Although we cannot reach it, we should always strive towards the light. Until the day that we regain our name.but you guys have stained your hands with your brothers blood and have become dark. Pitiful.

Shut up, the Elders are forcing us to do this!

Havent you grasped the situation yet?

Answer, number 358. Do you want to live under the glory of a new Dark Brothers or die thanks to the pitiful delusion of the past?

It is nonsense!

The man snorted and raised his neck.

If you fear death then youre already not a Dark Brother.

..It was impossible.

The assassins simultaneously lifted their swords.At that moment a loud yell came from a dark hallway.

Dark blade!

A sharp sword cut through the darkness.The assassin who was hit by the sword received an extravagant amount of damage. The assassins simultaneously turned their bodies.There were more than 10 people coming from the hallway on the other side.The only people in Salrins Towers should be masked assassins in black clothes. But these people were dressed messily with some wearing no armour.Yes, it was Ark and the rehabilitation members who had followed the assassins secret passage.Of course, the assassins didnt know their identities so the obvious question was asked.

Who are you?

Were Shambalas friends!

What?

The assassins flinched and raised their sword in unison.Then Ark smiled and spoke to JusticeMan.

Did you see? The ones who lifted their swords are the enemy.

Handle all of them except for the injured assassin.

JusticeMan lowered his upper body and using explosive acceleration, he approached the assassins.The surprised assassin brandished his sword.But JusticeMan just rotated to the side and grasped the assassins shoulder. No, with just his grip he threw the assassin across the room and the assassin became stuck in the wall.

Phew, that old geezer is quite furious.

Are you already stronger than were you were on active duty?

The Tiger of the SWAT team has been revived.

The rehabilitation members marvelled over the scene.When the level increased then it was natural to become stronger. But JusticeMans case was slightly different.JusticeMan was once the feared Tiger of the SWAT team. Although he did not talk about it, there were few people that could beat him in a one-on-one fight.However, his skills had become rusty after his injury and retirement. And he thought that he could never return to that condition.JusticeMan keenly sensed that it could not be revived.In reality, his strength and speed had decreased due to age. But he could compensate for the lack of speed and strength with his stats in New World. And his experience and practical sense could be converted into combat power.

Now, bring it on!

JusticeMan threw the assassins like they were fish.

We cant be defeated by such an old geezer!

We were still active until recently!

Hahaha, let me see your skills!

Today Ill catch them. Beep-and-beep- bastards!

The rehabilitation members ran up to the assassins.

Syu, pepepepek!

Tazza has amazing dexterity and used the skill Throw Dagger to throw 5 daggers simultaneously.Bul-kkun wore steel gloves and crushed the faces of the assassins. The assassins tried to take control of the battle using their swift movements, but they stiffened thanks to Hae Gyeol-sas Intimidation.But the real hit was Rocos song.

My hometown is on a faraway mountain, where apricot blossoms and azalea flowers bloom.

Once Roco began to sing, the assassins movements immediately slowed down.

Rocos registered song My Hometown was played.
