Unstopable Fury.

Edward had finished off one of the assassins who were attacking the Regional lord, Baron and now progressed forward to confront the remaining two.

"Where are the rest of them?"

The battle with the assassin lasted longer than he thought and now, he had now lost the trail of the other two assassins.

"Ahhh!!"

A scream of pain echoed loudly in an alleyway near a small market upfront.

Edward was altered by this and ran into the market but the crowd had already spilt chaos all out in the area.

"I can't find them this way. It's the hard way then."

Edward jumped on the small shop and climbed on it with the support of his shoulders, he observed the running crowd and understood that the event was taking place in the south part.

He then jumped from shop to shop climbing on different buildings to make his way forward avoiding the crowd as he need to get there as fast as possible. Running on narrow edges, taking long jumps and whatnot, all that came naturally to him.

"There they are."

Edward saw the confrontation between the soldier trying to protect their lord from the hitmen.

"It's gotten quite bloody."

The confrontation was much less of a fight but an all-out massacre, the two assassins had spilt blood all over the marketplace,

Soldiers' bodies lay down and the two of them, Assassins, still fighting and surviving holding up their front.

"Here I come!!"

Edward jumped off the building into a cloth shop,

".."

He came crashing down from the open roof and fell into the garments, preventing any vital damage.

Edward got ready to get into the fray himself but,

"!!!"

A soldier in red attacked Edward taking him for an enemy but Edward defended himself by grabbing his arm.

"I am your side, dumbass!"

Edward lashed at him and tried to negotiate with him.

"Who are you guys?!"

"That doesn't matter, all that matters is that I need to kill the two of them or you and everybody else die, so give me your gun."

The nervous soldier was visibly shaken by Edward's surreal-looking words but brought out his gun. Edward took it as he had forgotten to bring his second gun which he needed now.

'I'll take the blocky one first."

Edward first decided to fight the assassin who had been in maintaining a good position by keeping his back against the wall to protect against any back attack as his skills as a fighter protected him from the front.

The soldier had a circle around but could go out all at once due to fear of a bomb or a trap,

"I am coming in!"

Edward pushed aside the soldiers and got in the front which was still 5-6 meters away.

"!!!"

Edward shot two attack shots back to back right at the Assassins who couldn't protect him because he had no place to run, with his back on the wall and Edward at the front.

"One down."

Blood splattered all around as the two shots spilt the assassin's body's insides out. Edward's cloak became white to red with the blood.

Edward set his eyes on his next target, who was already wounded by the soldier and barely continued fighting.

Edward threw his cloak off and got ready to get another kill and end this fray for good but,

"Smoke bomb!!"

Smoke bombs consumed the entire area and changed the situation by a far margin,

"No one attacks each other, try to catch that weak one, we need to capture him alive."

It had become increasingly difficult to see through and it became harder to breathe.

"Ahhh!!"

"!!"

Screams of pain came out loud out of the smoke while,

Edward was attacked by an invisible individual, which tried to kick him but coming to this close Edward was able to block.

Another jab was made right at his face but Edward clutched the enemy's fist,

"!!!"

A blade came out right out of the sleeve which Edward barely dodged, still it left a cut on Edward's forehead which instantly began bleeding due to the sharpness of the blade.

"YOUR DAUGHTER AND YOU WILL BE PAYING FOR YOUR ACTIONS."

The mysterious figure said this and freed himself from Edward as he fell to the ground.

The smoke cleared out and the wounded assassin had been reduced and many soldiers were killed but the biggest blow,

"Lord Baron has been killed."

Baron who had been hiding from the assassins was killed and Edward was not able to protect him.

"I failed?"
