The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chapters 73. The Destruction of Assassins

In the dark palace.

Meanwhile, a group of people dressed in black were watching Aaron and Jeanne from a distance.

Unlike the group of women who had previously watched Aaron outside the palace, this group was entirely made up of men.

They exuded a powerful killing aura around them, most likely these people were hired assassins by someone.

"Boss! The boss! Prince Aaron has left, this is our chance to go on a mission. "one of the assassins reported.

He spoke to the man whose size was larger than the rest of the members, The man also wore all-black clothes that covered his entire body.

"What about our escape route? " ask Boss Assassin.

"I've sent some people to stand guard at that place, we can retreat at any time without being caught" the man reported earlier.

"Then, what about the conditions around the target? " ask the boss of the Assassin once more.

"No need to worry boss, we have adjusted the time.now is the time for the guards to change shifts, in the next few minutes there will be no guards patrolling around this place. " answer the man.

"Good! Then be prepared. After catching the girl, we'll be gone soon. There's no point in making a scene in this place. " Said the boss Assassin.

The mission they received this time was to capture the 3rd princess of the kingdom of Liberas Jeanne, it is not yet known what the motive behind it is.

But, apparently, that's not a good thing.

As all the Assassin members began to prepare, suddenly from behind them the voice of someone asking sounded.

"Ano, who do you want to catch? " ask Aaron kindly.

Hearing this sudden question, all the Assassin members spontaneously turned back and some of them even jumped towards Aaron.

"Sigh~ is really an unfriendly group." said Aaron in a cold tone.

Aaron dodged the swift attacks of the two Assassins that were in front of him.

At the same time, he also carried out a swift counterattack towards his two.

'Smash 'em! A smash! '

Cracks... Crack.., the sound of broken ribs could be heard clearly after Aaron hit the chest of the two Assassins firmly.

'Ugh...! '

The two Assassins were thrown far back after being hit by a crushing blow from Aaron.

It was most likely that the two men had died, as Aaron did not withstand the slightest blow.

Aaron's attack didn't stop there.

He took out the two daggers that had fallen from the hands of the previous Assassin and slashed down the four Assassins standing behind the two.

'Slash 'Slash! A slash! A slash! A slash! '

There was no sign of resistance in the slightest, the dagger slash that Aaron did too quickly.

To the extent that, the four Assassins who were bragging themselves at the speed they had were unable to see the direction of Aaron's attack.

After successfully landing his Attack, Aaron walked leisurely past the four Assassins and looked at the boss of the Assassins standing in front of him.

A few seconds after, the four Assassins who were just standing still behind Aaron suddenly fell down, collapsing to the ground.

In each Assassin's neck was a deep dagger incision wound, blood pouring out of it.

But, not a single drop of blood stuck to the dagger Aaron used, it was as clean as before.

Aaron looked at the Assassin boss with a cold gaze.

"Prince Aaron! We had no previous grudges, we came to this place just to carry out a mission. Since you have found us and some of my members have died, the mission we are currently on can be considered a failure. Therefore, we will retreat now" said the Assassin Boss in a hoarse voice.

He ordered all his men to retreat as quickly as possible.

But...

"Who allowed you to leave? You haven't even answered my previous question. Why the hurry? We can talk casually now " said Aaron in a cold voice.

Hearing his words, the Assassin Boss stared back at Aaron coldly.

"Prince Aaron! I respect you as the heir to the throne of the magic kingdom, We don't want to deal with you. But, if you continue to urge us, don't blame me for being rude to you" Boss Assassin threatened.

"Then, what would you do if I insisted on blocking you from leaving? " said Aaron with a cynical smile.

'Grr... Grp... ' Boss Assassin gritted his teeth after hearing the words of provocation from Aaron.

"Babies...! Don't boast, we retreat doesn't mean we're afraid of you. You're just a kid who doesn't know the breadth of the world yet, don't try to test my patience or you'll suffer the consequences. " Said Boss Assassin in a threatening tone.

{ket: Don't call me uncle's little boy. }

"Hahahahh hahh hahahh. " Aaron only laughed out loud after hearing the threat from the Assassin Boss.

"Is there anything funny about my words? " said Boss Assassin coldly.

"Ahhh, I'm sorry earlier. I can't help myself, there's nothing funny about your threats. Shikashi, Daijoubu deshou, datte kimi youwai mo" said Aaron in a mocking tone.

{ket: Gojo~kyun. Hahaahhh}

"You picked him asshole, kill HIM!!! " shouted Boss Assassin furiously.

Upon hearing the orders from their boss, the remaining Assassins instantly attacked Aaron without the slightest fear.

Aaron who saw this only smiled sinisterly on his face.

He played the dagger he had in his hand for a moment agilely, before running towards the Assassin horde intending to kill him.

"I will end this quickly and Today will be your funeral day" Aaron said in a cold tone.

He swung the dagger in his hand quickly towards the Assassin in front of him and split it into two halves.

After making his first kill, he jumped into the middle of the enemy group and activated one of his skills.

"[The Three Thousand Lightning Slash] "

After activating the skill, thousands of lightning slashes suddenly struck in all directions.

As a large Assassin who was around Aaron died of unprepared and the rest suffered serious injuries for failing to avoid a quick and deadly attack of his own.

"Uhukis... Uhuk... "

"ouch! Pl-please... "

"Ukh...! "

"Aaaaah! My hands. "

"I don't, uhuk. "

The sound of pain moans from the Assassin who managed to hold on, rang out on the battlefield.

In just one strike, that group of Assassins had been shattered.

Boss Assassin who was also the target of Aaron's attack managed to survive in the last seconds after activating his self-rescue skill.

However, he did not completely manage to avoid Aaron's attack because in some parts of his body there were burning slash scars.

"Unbelievably, you survived apparently.In that case, what about this one." said Aaron as he prepared his next attack.

He threw away the dagger in his hand and started activating one of his strongest magic.

— Spirit Magic, Spirit Frost (Esmeralda).

Suddenly, a white woman appeared behind Aaron.

"(Esmeralda) use Frostbite on them. "Aaron commands while pointing towards the remaining Assassin and his boss.

(Esmeralda) obeyed Aaron's orders and closed his eyes.

Instantly from the sky white snowflakes began to fall on the bodies of the Assassins.

"Akhs... Help Me! "

"It's not snow, Ouch! Stop biting me. "

"Save Me! "

"Aaaaah! I don't want to die. "

"Stay away from me fucking creature. "

True to what the Assassins said, the white thing that hit their bodies was not a snowflake.

But a small white monster with very sharp teeth.

They continued to eat the bodies of the Assassins slowly, like ice melting after being exposed to heat.

Seeing his men who ended up tragically after being exposed to the snowflake creature, the Boss of the Assassins instantly activated his self-rescuer skill once again.

[Black Mist Forms].

In this form, physical attacks and any element would not be able to injure him.

This time, the Boss of the Assassins managed to activate his skill in time.

"So apparently, you have quite an interesting skill there. But it won't keep you from dying.

Since you had previously targeted one of my friends, I couldn't just let you go" Aaron said in a cold tone.

Aaron activated some of his skills and magic to attack the Assassin Boss.

[Meteor Punch], [Dragon Claw], [KingKong Blow].

— Attack, Light Needle.

— Attack, Spear of Darkness.

— Attack, Frozen Breath (Esmeralda).

However, not a single skill and magic he used managed to injure that bandit Boss.

"Haahahhh, it's free. In this form, neither physical nor elemental attacks would be able to injure me. Surrender yourself! " said Boss Assassin while mocking Aaron who kept trying to attack him.

"Really, thanks for the information. Because neither physical nor elemental attacks are useful. Then, what about my attack on this one" said Aaron.

He took a deep breath before activating his skill.

[Cry of the Banshee]

A loud shout came out from Aaron's mouth, this skill specifically attacked one's soul.

Anyone who heard his screams, their souls would be corroded and severely injured.

'Ugh... Uhuk, Uhuk, Uhuk... '

Sure enough, the Assassin Boss who heard Aaron's shout started to feel pain and cough up blood several times.

[Black Mist Form] hers also slowly began to fade and she regained her human existence.

'Uhuk, Uhuk, Uhuk... '

The boss of the Assassins was lying on the ground helplessly, he was seen dying at this moment.

"Sigh~ is quite tiring against you guys, let's end it all now" said Aaron looking exhausted.

Aaron looked around him and walked towards the remnants of the Assassins who managed to survive, he killed them all one by one directly.

Aaron was doing the last cleanup.

Suddenly from behind him...

"You're a brat, I haven't lost. Feel this and die... "

'Jleb...! '

The Assassin Boss's words suddenly stopped after feeling that his chest was in great pain.

He slowly lowered his head and saw the tip of the sword sticking out of his chest.

"You're a careless, amateur criminal. " Timoty whispered those words into Boss Assassin's ears.

'Ugkhh... ' Boss Assassin once again fell to his knees to the ground.

Ignoring the dying man, Timoty walked up to Aaron with his four Assassin heads removed.

The heads belonged to the Assassin who was in charge of securing the escape route.

"Yoo, it looks like you've solved everything alone here. Huft... Even though you are the number one genius, it does not mean that you can challenge the Assassin group alone. That's very dangerous you know! " timoty said looking at Aaron who looked exhausted.

"Who said I was alone? I dare to challenge them because you are also around here" Aaron said.

"Ohhh, are you aware of my existence? " question Timoty looked a little surprised.

"I've been aware of it from the beginning" Aaron replied.

"Hahaahhhhhh, as expected of our number one genius" Timoty said with a laugh.

"I don't want to hear that from you, the youngest sword master in the continent.

Hearing Aaron's words, Timoty suddenly fell silent.

"Ehem, then all that's left now is the Boss of the Assassins" Timoty said, shifting the subject.

He turned back and found that the man had disappeared.

"Ehhh, where did he go? " timoty said looking confused.

"The man used [Blink] to run away a moment ago" Aaron said casually.

"Huh! Why are you just saying it now? Let's go after him " said Timoty.

"No need, someone already took care of it. "Aaron replied vaguely.

**************

Meanwhile somewhere else

"Ughs.... Those motherfuckers.Look, I will definitely repay you. Wait for the cruel retaliation from me Aaron. "the Boss of the Assassins said angrily.

Right now, he was trying to leave the palace after being defeated by Aaron and Timoty, He was running down the dark corridors of the palace.

While he was focusing on finding the right escape route, the sound of the air creaking suddenly came towards him quickly.

'Wuush...! '

A spear shot out quickly towards him. Nah! It was not a spear, but a blue-colored trident.

The boss of the Assassins had no chance to dodge that sudden attack because of the condition of his body that was being severely injured at the moment.

The trident stuck right in his chest and nailed him to the wall, He breathed his last a few seconds after that.

"Sigh~ Aaron and Timoty are really mean to me behind this, so they can go have fun without taking me. Argh...! Just look, I will reply to you both later. "said Arya pulled out her trident stuck on the wall.

While cleaning up the remnants of blood attached to his weapon, he walked away leaving the corpse of the Assassin boss lying just like that on the floor.
