As Ashmus got closer and closer to him, the man's body shuddered unceasingly.
He staggered backwards, trying to run away from him. But his legs were trembling so much that he couldn't even walk properly.
Then he remembered something and turned towards the blue haired girl. He thought of threatening Ashmus and ran to her with unsteady steps.
He grabbed her beautiful hair roughly and lifted her up from the ground and placed her own blue sword on her throat.
He then looked at Ashmus with fearful eyes and said," D-don't come here. If you dare to take one step forward, i will kill this girl right here." His arms were trembling by how scared he was.
When Ashmus heard his words, he stopped his advance.
The blue haired girl's eyes teared up even more by how roughly she was being treated as a hostage to threaten someone and she couldn't even do anything against it.
Ashmus looked at her despair filled eyes and the flames of rage in his heart boiled even more.
Even though he stopped his advance, he has no plans to let this hateful pig go. He will make sure this man dies painfully.
And to do that, he just unhanded the sword in his hands and crossed his arms over his chest.
He just stood there calmly without doing anything.
But even after he had released the sword, it didn't fall to the ground and kept hovering beside him.
A second later, the sword moved by itself and pointed it's tip at the lecherous man. After that, blood started appearing on the blade and turned into dozens of blood spikes.
Instantly, the blood spikes shot towards the man with such fast speed that he couldn't even see those spikes.
When he realised what had happened, there were already dozens of large holes all over his body.
The hand, which he was holding the sword, was out of shape after several spikes pierced it.
Be couldn't keep holding her blue sword and dropped it to the ground.
Then he perceived the pain cruising through his entire body, he staggered backwards and screamed miserably.
"Aaagggghhhh...."
Before he could get used to the pain, a fairly big blood spike shot at his right shoulder and impaled him to that same half-broken tree.
You can notice that the spikes didn't strike any of his vital points of his body. Because Ashmus didn't want to kill him this easily.
When the blue haired girl was realised from the man, she couldn't keep standing by herself and started falling.
Just before she was about to hit the ground, Ashmus arrived infront of her and caught her from falling.
He grabbed her slender waist and brought her into his embrace.
The girl was stunned when she was embraced be a man for the first time. But she didn't try to fight it. She felt warm and comfortable in his arms.
Seeing her stunned face, Ashmus directly looked at her eyes and asked in a gentle tone," Are you okay?"
When the girl heard his soothing and gentle voice, her last defence broke and her eyes turned red.
"Wuuu..... Waaaaa..." She buried her small head in his wide chest and cried like a little girl.
She ignored the blood covered clothes of his and continued crying with a loud tone.
She felt extremely comfortable and safe when she was in his arms.
Ashmus, who saw her crying so loudly, was very surprised. He didn't think this strong headed girl would cry like this.
She must have been bearing all these frustrating feelings to her heart for a long time.
So he didn't disturb her crying and squeezed her even more tightly and gently patted the back of her head.
When the girl felt his soft touch, she cried even more loudly to vent all these sadness she has been keeping in her heart for a long time.
She continued crying and Ashmus continued holding her.
But no assassin in this place dared to even go near them, forget about attacking them sneakily.
Because all of them could clearly see that red sword and those dozens of blood spikes hovering all around the two of them.
If anyone dares to disturb them, it will surely be their last mistake. So noone dared to even make a peep.
The only other sound which could be heard slightly was the lecherous man's groan.
You can see that one of the blood spikes is covering his mouth because he was making too much noise by screaming so loudly here.
But he was still groaning painfully from all the holes in his arms and legs.
A lot of blood was coming out from all the holes in his body. And all of those blood that was flowing out are being absorbed by the the red sword.
At this time, some of the smarter assassins slowly moved towards his family to capture them as they knew that they won't be able to defeat this damn sword.
If they can capture them and threaten this man with their lives, maybe they would be able to leave here alive.
But before they could get close to them, the blood spikes, that was hovering around Ashmus, shot at them with a fast speed and kill them for good.
And just after they are killed, the red sword would go to their corpses and devour their spiritual energy through the same black gaseous fog Ashmus had used.
When the other assassins saw this, they were scared witless and didn't dare to do anything to his mother and sisters.
Some of them were too scared that they tried to run away from this place.
But before they could get too far, the same thing happened. The blood spikes would shot towards them and kill them and afterwards the red sword would devour their corpses.
Seeing this, the assassins knew that they won't be able to leave here alive. So they just sat down and kept waiting for their death.
It was a type of mental torture.
