The Shadow Assassin

A shadow can be seen moving fast to an unknown location somewhere in an unknown island forest, so fast that not even a third-star level peak couldn't react to see how he moved from one place to another.

Swish...

No obstacle could slow its movement, as if jumping to the trees were as simple as running to the land.

He arrived at the location to which he had been trekking after an hour of hurriedly jumping from tree to tree. He slowed down and observed his surroundings for any hidden traps or enemies.

Furthermore, he had already decided to take his final course of action after another hour of observing and seriously considering his next move.

He leapt to the trees again, this time silently, as he moved to the next location where he could hear his enemies' movements. He noticed two guards conversing with each other, as if they were confident that no enemies would ever invade their base.

Swish… Bang... puchi... pfft...

The shadow silently directed his energy to send a needle to the stronger guard, killing him instantly. While he dashed to the other's back and silently pierced his heart.

In less than a half-minute, after taking the important items from the guard, he quietly disposes of the guards without making a sound to avoid exposing himself and to give him more time to complete his mission without incident.

He clutched the hidden compartment, opening the real door to his enemies' base, and smirked as if confident the mission would be even easier if the enemies hid in the darkness, as he was also sensitive to the darkness.

"I pray for the great imminence of the shadow spirits to lend me power," the person said, holding his necklace, which was glowing in black, until he was enveloped by the black fog himself, turning him into a pure shadow with only his blue eyes emitting white light.

After his transformation, he immediately entered the darkness, blending from shadow to pure darkness, and the only sounds heard in the forest were the roar and smooth blowing air.

Pu chi.... swish...

He, the shadow, began to control the darkness in order to mass his senses, the sound, and the people guarding the base, killing them one by one in silence.

He moved through the darkness, leaving only lifeless bodies behind, with no idea how they died or who their enemy was.

After another hour, he arrives at the boss's lair, the true goal of this troublesome mission.

"Great spirit, is he the only one there?" the shadow asked as he grasped the necklace.

"Yes, he's the only one there," the spirit responded to the shadow person's question, confirming that his true target was the only one inside.

"Thank you for your guidance, great spirit," he said quietly to his heart.

"Praise me, praise me, he-he," the spirit in the necklace smiled, confirming the person's true intention of devotion and thankfulness. As the spirit released black light to convey his joy,

As he heard the spirit was happy, the shadow person only smiled in the shadow and shook his head with a smile. He promised himself that once this mission was completed, he would play with the great spirit in exchange for borrowing the strength to complete his mission again. "All right, great spirit, let's finish this mission, and then let's play."

"Yeah, yeah, play! I want to play!" The great spirit released black lights again and again, as he was pleased to hear the person's words.

After confirming the target was alone inside for a minute, the shadow moved inside once more. Instead of opening the door, he used his spirit ability to pass through it like a shadow element.

He noticed the individual sitting in a chair and counting gold coins as thousands of them were placed on the table. Not only did he find gold coins, but he also discovered ten energy stones, which were extremely rare on the continent. He read some information about the energy stone in the organization, which stated that a single energy stone has the energy equivalent of a fourth star rank level, which means that whoever obtains such stones can have cumulative energy ready for absorption, minimizing resources used in cultivation, and guaranteeing them to reach 3rd star level if they are lucky, or fourth star level if they are really lucky, until the stone turns to powder after all the energy has been drained.

If not used for cultivation, the energy stone could be used as an energy supplement in battle; either way, the energy stone was a priceless must-have for star levels that anyone would covet.

'How rich is this guy, sheesh?' shadow's breathing deepened as he became excited to have the stone for his cultivation.

"Food, food, more food, hehe,  yey,  yey," the great spirits in the necklace rejoice.

When the shadow person heard this, his desire to use it in cultivation diminished.

He shook his head and promised to give the great spirit eight of the stones, as if spoiling a child, because he couldn't bear to ruin this child's happiness as long as the great spirit was happy.

After some thought, he decided that it was better to finish the mission before dividing the treasures because the stones were still in the hands of the enemies.

"Arak  Es  Latio, a noble man who had offended a great house, what a great tragedy for you," Shadow said, startling the person sitting in the chair.

"Who... who are you, Bang?

How dare you intrude on my domain?

Do you think I'm a simple pie that anyone can eat?

Guards, where are my guards, search the person who broke into the base?

I want this intruders head now!" The nobleman screamed, slamming the table and hurling his gold and stones, before becoming arrogant and calling for his guards.

"You don't have to yell. All of your guards and personnel have died. You are the final member." The shadow person spoke, his voice vibrating the room and making a noble stutter and shock.

"What, what did you say?" shook the nobleman  Arak, knowing there was no one who could help him.

"Ple, pleas, Please don't kill me. Right, I have money; I can buy my life for however much you want.

I also have stone; I can give you some.

Or you can have half my fortune if you spare me."

"Tsk,  tsk, why half when I can have all after I kill you?" Shadow confidently rejects the nobleman's proposal.

Swish...

"You...  kushh, ha…  ha…  ha…" the nobleman kneeled to the ground as his throat was slashed instantly, with no time to defend himself.

"Don't worry, I'll put your wealth to good use.

Oh, and the person who hired me left a message in the letter: "You have sin."

Bang...

The nobleman  Arak  died in his underground base, knowing who was responsible for his death.

His face fell as he heard the words, which made him despair.

"Finally, after three months in this assassination mission, haha,"  the shadow laughs as he undoes his body's spirit shadow skill.
