Chapter 63

The battle between Zich and the assassins looked fierce. One sword constantly collided against three daggers, and the sound of their sharp exchanges rang across the whole space. However, this battle only looked fierce. Zich and even the assassins knew that the battle was not intense for Zich at all.

While fighting, Zich calmly analyzed his opponents. Hmmm. Theres no special technique in their movements or skills.

The assassins lowered their stance and desperately tried to find any openings in Zichs attacks. However, no matter how hard they tried to find openings, Zich blocked all of their attacks with complete easeeventually, they had no choice but to accept their assured defeat.

If Zich wanted to summarize his current battle in one sentence, it would be: Im playing with them. He was going to play with the assassins, and the assassins would have no choice but to follow his lead. Zichs easygoing attitude in this battle was not a good sight to see. Regardless of how great the difference in their strengths was, carelessness could lead to dangerous mistakes.

On the other hand, Zich didnt just play absentmindedly either. He was trying to find clues about the assassins identities by drawing out their different skills and movements. However, the assassins movements were sharp but colorless; their movements held no shred of ingenuity or uniqueness. Even though they were getting pushed back, it was only because they had little experience with one-on-one fights and because their opponent was Zich. Their skills and movements were perfect as assassins.

Their organization wont be easy to take care of.

In order to make people into assassins like thiswith no special characteristics or style but a tool to killthe organization needed to go through a considerable amount of investment and hard work.

Should I capture one of them and ask?

Zichs sword style changed. In an instant, he flicked away all the assassins daggers and began to push them back.

First, I got the three of them.

Zich recalled how the assassins he met in Suol exploded themselves to stop him. During that time, he had no time to even capture one of the assassins. But now, he had more time than he needed.

Im just going to get one of them for now.

Zich was about to make a guy next to him faint, but the assassin suddenly reached out with his hands.

Booom!

An explosion erupted. Hans and Snoc, who were each taking care of an assassin, jumped in surprise. While they were fighting their opponents, they snuck a glance towards the explosion.

Sir Z-Zich? Snoc asked Zich with concern in his voice. The assassins fighting Hans and Snoc made low laughs, as if they were confident that Zich had died. Snoc bit his lip in worry.

However, Hans was not worried at all.

Whoosh!

Hans just made one quick glance towards Zichs direction and began swinging his sword towards his opponent again. The assassin who had been laughing a moment ago hurriedly attempted to block Hans sword in surprise.

Theres no way Sir Zich will die from that.

Hans was calmer than Snoc, because he had stayed a longer time with Zich and had a higher level of trust.

If Sir Zich died from something like that, the Steelwall family wouldnt have fallen into a state of chaos, and I wouldnt have been dragged all the way here.

With this thought in his mind, Hans sword style became rougher.

Flash!

The aftermath of the explosion disappeared in an instant. The assassins, who had moved their bodies back since the beginning of the explosion, shivered in shock. As Hans expected, Zich was calmly standing in the middle of where the explosion erupted.

Oh, its an artifact?

Zich was in a good mood. He was familiar with this style of attack, and how the assassins carried around artifacts.

Its you guys.

Zich was elated to see assassins from the same organization like the ones in Suol. Zichs happy expression was like a tiger jumping into a herd of sheep.

A promise was a promise. Zich wanted to fervently keep his promise with the robed man in Suolthat as soon as he met anyone in his organization, he would send them to his side in hell. So far, the assassins had only lasted this long because Zich went easy on them. As soon as he became more serious, his opponents were pushed back mercilessly. The assassins used up their artifacts without reservation, and Zich sliced through all of them.

Agh!

A long wound appeared on one of the assassins bodies. It was not enough to warrant death, but it was impossible for the injured assassin to continue fighting.

Done with one.

Worried that they might sacrifice themselves, Zich raised his sword towards their heads to make them faint. However, before he could make them faint, one of the two remaining assassins blew a whistle.

Fweeet!

Tch!

Noticing that something was off, Zich clicked his tongue.

Crashhh!

An explosion that was incomparably larger than the first one erupted. The magnitude of the explosion was not large, but the intensity of the explosion was at the highest level. While crushing their own bodies, the assassins attempted to harm Zich. However, as if he was escaping small fiery sparks, Zich dusted off his clothes and moved away from the explosion.

This is why I wanted to quickly finish this.

If they were assassins from the same organization as the one from Suol, there was a high chance that they would explode themselves. With that thought in mind, Zich had wanted to quickly capture them.

The quality of their skills is actually higher than the ones from Suol.

When the robed man told Zich that he had quickly gathered a group of low-level assassins for his mission in Suol, it seemed the robed man
