CHAPTER 49: Blood league

Before the assassins could react, an invisible force grabbed them and threw them through the window, shattering it in the process.

"Augh!!"

The assassins groaned in pain, as the closest assassin raised his head, his face turned pale with horror.

"Aaahh...!" His scream was cut short as the jaw of the Rocky anaconda closed, biting off his head, the other assassins drew out their blades. Even though they were in a peculiar situation, they are all killers with countless lives in hand, so they quickly recover and attack Sam. To them if they could kill this girl, the big snake will stop attacking, but... The real problem Is, the big snake in Front of her.

Leo and Mike sat down watching the assassins with a smile. "What are they planning on doing?" Mike asked.

"They are planning to take out Sam, then escape" Leo answered calmly.

"Kill!" Sam said weakly, and the big snake let out a hissing sound and rushed towards the assassins in full speed.

"Boss! What should we do?!" An assassin asked their leader.

"How should I know!! Let just try to hold on, as far as I can see, this girl is weak, and the other is also injured. We just need to hold on" the leader said with gritted teeth.

"But..., what about those guys? What if that big guy is more dangerous than the girls?" The subordinate asked.

"We are here for Leo, he might be strong, but he's still a human, that big man might just be his subordinate, for him sitting there he might be weaker than this girl." The leader said.

"Boss!! Here it comes!!"

"We can do this!!" The leader shouted, but the next moment the snake stopped and round his long body into a circle shape. All the assassins were dumbfounded, but the next moment the snake shattered and several stones flew in all directions taking forming wild dogs in midair.

"Are these?" An assassin asked stunned.

"Ten Wild dogs!! Watch out!" the leader roared, jumping to the side dodging the surprise attack from a wild dog.

"Hmm… This guy is good, but his subordinates are not" Mike said calmly.

"Ahhhh!!"

"Help me!"

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

"No...! Please"

Countless ear-piercing scream rung out in the room, as the wild dogs tear down the assassins to shards. The leader watched in horror as his men were being disintegrated, piece by piece. A dog leapt at him. With a slash of his sword the Rocky dog head fell off.

"Did I just kill one?" The leader asked stunned, looking at the rock wild dog which remained motionless, the next moment it turned back into rock. Leo and Mike frowned and turned to Sam. To their surprise Sam was sweating all over, with her clothes soaked with her sweat.

"It looks like she's in her last strength" Leo said calmly and Mike nodded.

If the two could see this, the leader would also see it, without second thought he dashed at Sam, planning to kill her instantly. But the next moment, an iron rod flew out with lightning speed and struck his right shoulder, plunging inside.

"Aaaaahhhhhhh....!!!!!"

He let out a scream, falling to the ground, he clutched the iron rod, with gritted teeth, he pulled out the rod and threw it away. He removed his mask and tied the wound with it, he then turned to the two guys in terror, even Leo was stunned.

"Did I asked you to attack her?" Mike asked, stood up, and walking toward the assassin leader.

"Don't get close to our leader!" The last two living assassins stood in Front of their boss.

"What are you two doing?!!"

"Boss, you need to get out of here, we will hold them back. You need to report this" one assassin said with gritted teeth, holding his sword shakily, facing Mike.

"Yes boss" the other added.

"This is lovely, I like your loyalty. But you are here to assassinate Leo, and that had already signed your death warrant, so I can't let you guys leave here alive, or his sister will kill me for leaving those who planned to kill her brother" Mike said calmly.

Leo smiled faintly, 'Nora, what did you do to these guys, I will reward you when I get back.'

"Sister? We are not here to kill him" the leader said at the moment. "Oh, really?" Mike said a little surprise and asked. "Then why are you here, and with weapons?"

The leader took a Deep breath and said "we are here to asked for the spirit stones."

"What if he refused to give it to you guys?" Mike asked again.

"Our order is to take the stones, we are allowed to use force if he refused to give it to us." The leader said truthfully.

"Who gave you this order?" Leo asked at that moment.

"We are from the blood league, our leader gave us the order, I don't know who gave him the order or if he's the one who need the stones" the leader said with gritted teeth, feeling the pain from his shoulder.

"Where is this league of yours located?" Leo asked again.

"At the border between the 6th and 7th nation" the leader answered.

'6th and 7th nation, hmm... Did I have any enemy around there. Vanilla and Xu, those are the only people in these two nations I had associated with. Vanilla didn't look like she could do it. It might be Xu, but... Never judge a book by it cover, vanilla might be more ambitious than she appeared to be.'

"Ahh, all this thinking" Leo said rubbing his temple in frustration. "Forget it, I will meet them in the future" Leo said looking at the three assassins and continue.

"I never spare anyone who planned to kill me, so you guys have to be killed as a lesson to your league. If they offend me again I don't mind wiping them out in the future." Hearing Leo word the leader face turned pale and he stammered.

"B-But, I-I had told you e-everything you need to know, and our league is not a small force but a force that can even rival some countries."

"Thanks for that information" Leo said flatly. Hearing Leo word a devilish smile appeared on Mike face. "It looks like it's time to die" before the assassins could react an iron rod shot out from Mike hand and struck one assassin on his head, killing him instantly.

"You didn't say you have this skill" Leo said looking at Mike. "I just learned it." Mike said and opened his two palm, a set of iron rod appeared in his hand. With that he moved, the second assassin gritted his teeth and charge at him.

Whoosh…

Everyone only see a blur, well... apart from Leo and his group, but the leader was different. The next moment the head of the assassin fall off, then followed by his body.

'What made my subordinates this ruthless? Well the more ruthless they are the better.' Leo thought with a smile.

"What, devil!! Don't come close" the leader of the assassin was scared out of his wit. Backing away in fear.

At this moment, Mike looked like the grim reaper coming to take his life.

"The countless people you killed, did you spare their lives? I thought you were even good at fighting" Mike said a little disappointed walking toward the man, with a wave of his hand. An iron rod shot out, plunging itself inside the leader right thigh causing him to scream in pain.

"Aaaahhhhhh!!!! Please I will do anything, don't kill me"

'Potentate, what is this skill?'

[Skill: metal spikes]

[Skill description: can summon metal spikes from the caster hand, which have the power to kill anyone two realms below the caster. A-class skill.]

'Hmm, it's just like pain in Naruto.' Leo thought with a smile.

Mike looked at the middle-aged man with an indifferent expression. As he raised his hand to finished him, Leo voice sounded.

"Let me finish this" before the leader could react to Leo word, he snapped his finger and the leader caught on fire.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The leader screams rung out in the soundproof room, after a moment he turned into ash. Mike and everyone present was stunned looking at Leo as if he was a ghost.

"When did you become a fire enhancer?" Sam asked weakly.

"It's a long story" Leo said walking towards her, with a wave of his hand, endless energy flood inside her body, filling her spiritual energy to a stable level. "Next time, don't over use your unique skill" with that said he walked toward Mila leaving the stunned Sam behind.

Mila was leaning on the door, looking at Leo. "Are you ok?" Leo asked. "Am good" Mila answered half-heartedly. Leo nodded and brought out a low health potion. "Drink this, it will heal your injuries." Mila looked at Leo for a while, then she nodded and took the potion and gulped it down, Leo nodded and said. "You did good, but you need to practice your skills more." Leo stopped and turned to his subordinates.

"When we get back, I will reward you all. You guys impressed me today" Leo said with a smile.

The three looked at each other, after a while they nodded. "Time to take care of this room" hearing Leo and looking at the messy room, the three face changed slightly.
