ARCHDEUS

ZUCK!(ATTACK!4)

The base that the Fertiphile forces had attacked was not a small base. Lots of floors and rooms there. It took a lot more effort to be able to explore all the intricacies of this place.

The base also has a laboratory specializing in human experimentation. Most of the experiments ended in death, but some showed good results. Among all the results of the experiment, only Alpha can be said to be a successful result.

Alpha doesn't know how long he's been crying at the moment. He could not fight even when the princess he was supposed to protect was forcibly taken from him. If it wasn't for this damn bracelet he would have been able to destroy the head of the guard who took his daughter's master.

In the iron bars located on the underground floor, he was only alone inside there. There was no longer a princess who was always with him. Now Alpha can feel what is called the feeling of loss.

Alpha knows he's still weak. His body is not in good health at the moment. If it were not for the attempt to ease the deviation of whichever one he experienced, he would have been dead by now.

But just this once, give him a chance to protect his daughter's master. Even though he had just met the girl, he wanted to save her even if it put his life at risk.

A slash! A slash!

The sound of slashing was heard by Alpha. He looked behind the iron bars a pair of heads had rolled on the floor that had been stained with blood.

Alpha shuddered in horror at this situation. He knew that the two heads belonged to the guards standing in front of his iron bars.

Then behind the darkness of the world, a silhouetted figure appeared. It was a familiar old man figure to Alpha. The old man with gray hair all over his head was someone he had seen in the mansion several times known as Alen.

Alen carried a pair of magic daggers in both of his hands. This dagger was a top grade magic item but now its unique motive had been moistened by blood.

"Retreat."

Alen did not repeat his words so Alpha did not understand the words of the old man.

A slash! A slash! A slash! A slash!

Alen used his dagger to cut through these iron bars like cutting paper. Then he saw a strange object in Alpha. It looked like a neck bracelet and a pair of arm bracelets containing magic power.he went inside and was about to smash the thing.

"N-no, there's no need, sir."

Alpha stutters when he regains consciousness after seeing Alen's abilities. He had never seen Alen use a dagger before so he was very surprised.

Although he hated neck bracelets and arms that sealed his power, he knew that this was also the reason why he was still alive.

Alan who did not understand why Alpha refused to have his handcuffs destroyed did not give a reply but he followed Alpha's words.

"We're gonna run, follow me."

"Good!"

The two rushed out of there and ran down the hall. Although Alen is old but his physical strength still cannot be taken lightly. In fact he was actually much faster than an average assassin.

Actually Alen went to the basement to save Merry. He's already arrested some guards and conducted interrogations. All their sayings lead to that cage space. Why was Merry not there?

"Do you know where Young Miss Merry is?"

Alen asked expressionlessly to Alpha who was struggling to run to minimize his lag.

Alpha did not reply but his expression was very grim after hearing the question.

Alen seemed to understand the intent of this child's expression so that he could only cluck in annoyance because it seemed like he had arrived late then his mission had failed.

Alen suddenly felt a swarm of people running from their front. It was a pity that he was not a ranger who had strong sense sensitivity. Rushing Alen took the child he saved and hid behind the corners of the hallway.

The group of people continued to run closer while carrying sticks that had light at the end. Then Alen saw that all these people were wearing robes. Just by looking at the sticks and robes they were carrying, Alen was convinced that this was a group of witches.

If this was under normal circumstances then the witches could definitely become a tender food for him who was an assassin when fighting in this dark and restricted space. Unfortunately, Alen brings a child with him who he knows is quite close to the first young master and Merry.

It's hard for Alen.

"!!"

Alen was shocked when a red-robed magician with a tattoo on his arm carrying a glowing crystal suddenly pointed at him.

"[Lightning]!"

A third level spell attack with lightning elements suddenly flew towards Alen.

Alen who was still carrying Alpha rushed to dodge nimbly. He then appeared in front of the men and took down the Alpha.

Alpha instinctively hides behind Alen.

Alen took both his daggers and took the attacking horses.

"[Moonlight Dagger]" said Allen.

"!!"

"Magic?!"

Witches are the most sensitive people with mana energy. They were simultaneously shocked when they saw the dagger carried by Alen responding by emitting a white light like moonlight.

He was an aura user assassin and mana.

"Go to a safe place."

Upon seeing that Alpha nodded, Alen refocused himself on the witches.  Casting was done, so he immediately attacked.

Alen disappeared from sight. As an assassin, he had excellent kamulase abilities.

The witches held their wands tighter. They know that in a dark and confined place like this hallway makes them like a bunch of ducks in a crocodile hole. They are vulnerable to ambush from an assassin.

A slash!

A white radiance that formed a long line suddenly appeared on the neck of a magician who was at the front row. After the beam disappeared, the witch's head immediately rolled onto the ground and her neck spurted out fresh red blood.

"Damn! He's attacking! the assassin attacked! Quickly read the spell det-!"

Before the other witch cried out in panic, her head had been severed leaving a neat cut on her neck.

"YES!! [Sense of Temperature], [Wave of View], [Eagle's Eyes], [Magical Shield], [Shield of Lith], [Frost Shield]!"

The witches rushed to cast detection and defense type spells that the average level 3 spells.

Protected by spells, they kept watch over the ceiling, left-right, and front-back.

But there was no sign of assault. Only silence. None of them move. Everyone focused on finding the assassin who was hiding like a needle in a haystack. They no longer cared about Alpha who had escaped by taking a different route.

Their vigilance was at the highest level but they never expected from the back of a red-robed magician with a tattoo on his arm, a black silhouetted figure appeared and instantly gave an attack.

"AARRGH!"

The red-robed witch's back was slashed then a white line appeared at a glance at her neck. The magician was speechless with bulging eyes then his head and the crystal ball he was carrying rolled on the floor.

"That's it! Attack it! [Whipwhirl], [Shockwave], [Five-Spark Arrows]!"

The witches attack but the assassin avoids everything easily.

Alen never hesitated to commit mass murder to the witches. This is the right moment because in this group there is not a single warrior so that the close-range attacks of the witches can certainly be meaningless.

"Stop!"

Suddenly a loud noise emerged from the place where Alen and Alpha first appeared. Alen who was still hiding among the darkness to make a silent attack reflexively glanced at the source of the sound. He was shocked when he saw another swarm of witches from the path they had gone through earlier. The witches also carried a glowing magic wand that was known to be the light coming from a level 1 [Continual Light] spell.

But the most surprising thing was that in the front row of the witches was standing a dark-robed witch who had a terrible smile that displayed one of her yellow front teeth.

The witch was carrying a sword aimed at the neck of a captive she was holding. The prisoner is none other than Alpha.

"If you don't want this kid to die, show yourself!"

Eldnest never expected that he would have to capture the object of his successful lab. Even if all his subordinates died, he would not kill this successful experiment. This object is the future of humanity! Moreover most of the mages he was carrying right now were simply alchemists who did not know the attack spells.

But did the assassin who took away the A-25 know that? Sure didn't!

Using a level 2 [Mute] spell, Eldnest had used that spell to silence A-25 in order to be unable to say anything.

Alen reappears behind the first group of witches. Even if he was an assassin, to avoid the attacks of many witches continuously was not an easy matter. Besides this time Alpha who was one of the people he had to save was caught.

He must choose whether he must escape and leave Alpha or he must save Alpha even at the cost of his life.

Alen was old, so he would not hesitate to take a second action if the count ordered it. Yet he doubted even if he had to die, would this child survive? Can this kid escape?

No way!

The group of magicians led by Eldnest joined the group earlier. As before, he was in the front row while holding Alpha hostage.

"[Broombo]!"

The fireball of a tier 3 spell flew straight towards him.

Alen swiftly crossed his two daggers forward to fend off the attack even he chanted a spell.

"[Magical Shield]."

BOOM UP!

"!!!"

Eldnest was surprised to see that the attack he carried out could be fended off by Alen.

"So you're a user of what!"

Alen did not reply to the other party's shock. But he gave the horses survival. He also glanced back in case the witches there also carried out an attack on him.
