(36) Meeting the Assassins again(2)

After the man with a huge sword appeared, he immediately noticed the strange situation, as he saw Ronald just standing there calmly and not standing. It was as if he had already surrendered his life to them.

But as a person who had experienced many battles, he knew that this was not the case.

He observed the surroundings, as he was searching for something but he found nothing.

He knew that a person who was calm even facing someone who could kill them, either is a crazy person or a person that has something or someone to rely on.

And base on his own feelings, he felt that the young man in front of him wasn't the former, but he can't find the reason for his calm expression.

After thinking for a bit, he signaled his companions to be careful through his eyes.

"Brat, Are you surrendering your life to us? Don't worry, I won't let you escape this time.", As the man was speaking, he immediately charged to Ronald, as he knew that Ronald wasn't going to surrender.

Fengjun and the other man in black clothes, acted immediately the same time as the man.

Seeing this, Ronald took a serious expression. Just a moment ago, he whispered to Freya to let him fight first as he wanted to gain experience in fighting a human, though the one-armed blade monkey moves like a human, there is still a huge difference between a human and the monkey, that is the adaptability of the human mind.

"Beast Synchronization, target beast Freya."

"Berserk"

"1st Sword of the Moon"

As Ronald activated his skill, Selena appeared above Ronald and used a supporting skill, though the three men didn't see her, as he can't be seen if she didn't want to be seen. This is one of the amazing traits of a spirit.

"Moonlight Buff"

Selena shouted in an enchanting voice (that didn't match her appearance) as she used her skill, the three didn't hear her voice though.

A blue, red, and silver glow appeared around Ronald's body, intertwining with each other. Seeing Ronald activated his skill, the three became wary of him. The three men knew that this was Ronald's trump card, as they felt that Ronald's strength now was about the same as Fengjun, who was the weakest of them all.

But this wasn't what made the three cautious, it was the black sword that appeared floating beside Ronald.

It was his 1st sword of the moon - New moon. Just seeing the sword gave them a feeling of extreme chill.

It was a sword that absorbs the light within the area, causing the area where they battled dimmed a little bit.

Although the three seems cautious of him, they were still sure that they would win, as they knew that a skill that increases the overall stats would have a side effect.

***

On the largest tree within the area where Ronald and the three assassins battled, a lady wearing a green cloak was watching the floating screen in front of her, as she sat on one of the branches of the tree while eating popcorn - A new kind of snack that was newly developed by the empire's supply division. This lady was Fenghuang, and she was watching the screen floating in front of her with obvious excitement.

"At first, I was really disappointed when I knew that my first mission was to guard a brat, but as the days passed by, I found out that this brat was very interesting, though I don't know what kind of relation this kid had with Aunt Grace."

Though Grace was Fenghuang's master, she didn't allow her to call her master and insisted that Fenghuang call her aunt.

As Fenghuang was watching the battle, a giant green snake sneakily climbed up the tree as it was eyeing at Fenghuang.

The giant green snake was a beast lord ranked beast, though it was weaker than Freya, it was still stronger than the baby Earth Qilin by a huge margin.

After some time, the giant green snake arrived at Fenghuang's back. But Fenghuang was still focusing on the battle going on in the screen as if she didn't feel the danger behind her.

The giant green snake thought that he was so awesome as the human in front of it didn't even realize that it was behind her.

It felt that the human in front of it had a very strong life energy inside her.

Humans gained exp points by killing beasts and beings of the other races, on the other side, beast gained exp points by killing humans and other races.

But a beast that had been tamed by a human, much more form a contract with a human, would gain exp points by killing other beasts and lost their ability to gain exp points by killing humans.

The giant green snake estimated that the human in front of it was at least at the master stage that is equivalent to the beast lord rank, and it also felt that the human in front of it was far stronger than itself. If the giant green snake could consume the human in front of it, it estimated that it would gain at least 2 levels.

When the giant green snake first saw Fenghuang and felt her energy, it became extremely afraid and ran. But then it noticed that Fenghuang was watching something and wasn't even caring for her surroundings.

Due to those actions of Fenghuang, the giant green snake made a bold plan. It planned to sneak attack the human sitting on the branch, while she wasn't wary of her surroundings.

It was extremely proud of its stealth skills, even some beast lord ranked beast can't perceive it.

As the giant green snake was praising itself, it opened its mouth very slowly, as it was being extremely careful so that the human in front of it wouldn't notice.

After it was sure that its mouth was wide enough to swallow Fenghuang whole, it the slowly neared its opened mouth closer to Fenghuang's body.

The distance between Fenghuang and the snake's mouth became closer and closer, but the snake felt a strong sense of crisis when the distance between its mouth and Fenghuang's body reached 1 ft.

But it was too late to retreat, as when it thought of escaping, a huge black hole opened at the back of Fenghuang, and through that black hole, a huge mouth appeared and sucked the snake starting from its head down to the tail as if it was just like a piece of pasta for the huge mouth.

Only after the huge mouth vanished did Fenghuang looked back.

"Xiao Xingxing, you would become extremely fat if you eat too much."

Fenghuang said with a teasing tone.

As Fenghuang said those words, a small mouse appeared on her shoulder pressing its fat belly forcefully, it was only the size of Fenghuang's fist.

If anyone said that this small mouse ate the whole giant green snake, that was 2 meters in height even if it was crawling on the ground and had a length of more than 30 meters, then no one would believe him.

This little mouse was Fenghuang's life contracted beast, though it was only the size of an adult female human fist it can't still be underestimated as it had the ancient bloodline of a Heaven-Swallowing Mouse. It had the same level, rank, and grade of talent as Freya.

After teasing Xiao Xingxing for a while, Fenghuang returned her gaze to the battle happening on the screen.
