Chapter 1906 An Unbelievable Reality
Down the forest path, the lone carriage surrounded by guards both hidden and in in sight, rode calmly onwards.
The night birds ''who-d'', the frogs crooked in the distance, and the crickets chirped blissfully, happy to see the clear night skies.
"Assassins!"
The men outside screamed defensively, drawing their daggers, swords, bows, and weapons to defend their carriage.
The nts around rustled, and everyone came face to face with a terrible group whose movements were too brisk for anyone to BELIEVE.
What''s going on? What''s going on?
Ting! The shing sounds from weapons echoed, followed by loud screams of pain. Even the hidden guards protecting the carriage now had chalkish faces when assessing such skills.
"Protect the Master!" Was all they could yell out when tightening guarding the carriage with every lifeforce left in them.
sh!
A deep wound shed across the chest of the lead hidden guard, causing him to drop on one knee, with one hand on his chest and another on his dagger suspended high above his face.
Ting!
He blocked a terrible attack, which mmed him against the carriage''s steps.
~Pouf!
Out from his mouth spewed a heap load of dark blood. Pain.. pain… so painful.
Pain and desperation quickly clouded his being.
He could feel his strength weakening by the second.
''Your Highness, forgive this unprepared one for not being able to protect you.''
With little strength to defend himself, it was only a matter of time before the enemy truly finishes him off.
Gritting his teeth, the Lead guard gathered his strength, and prepared to make one final solid attack. He took deep breaths, and raised his dagger with a loud battle cry bellowing from his mouth. And then…
Bam!!
The enemy was thrown several feet back, mming and mming into multiple trees and breaking them off along his way.
"(''0'')" [Lead hidden guard]: Am I this powerful?
"(''0'')" [ Everyone else]: What did we just see?
Suddenly, the entire battle ground froze!
You had to be there to believe it. Attacks and weapons came to a halt midway, birds stopped flying, and even the crickets packed their bags away, walking backwards in slow motion after seeing what their incredible insect eyes just saw.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap~
Everyone heard the sound of sandals, now hitting against the carriage''s steps. What? This guy has been wearing sandals all along under such intimidating attire? – Was the question many would have asked. But now, seeing him step down in loud strides, many only swallowed hard, wonderingif he was truly the one who sent someone flying back and breaking down several trees in the process.
Landon cracked his knuckles, sweeping his gaze across the battleground, "He then held out a sheet of paper, and leaned down towards the injured Lead hidden guard, as though saying: Read it.
One would be surprised just how amazing human emotions could be.
The shock from it all hadpletely overpowered the Lead hidden guard''s pain. (Q0Q)
Read? How does one read again? Howe he has forgotten how to read?
The guard''s mind was in disarray. However, after staring at the paper, his mouth subconsciously opened wide.
"I have lots of things to do, so all of youe to me at once… If you do, I promise, your death will be swifter."
–Silence–
Those were the words written on the paper.
Everyone was taken aback, wondering if their eyes had too much wax. Or else why would they hear this guy talking about taking the enemy all at once?
Yes, he indeed possessed a strength, they found unfathomable. But do you see how many incredibly skilled assassins are surrounding them?
How could 1 man take them all?
Landon had no time to waste. SO WHAT IF THEY WERE IN DISBELIEF?
"What a magnificent piece of work."
Slowly picking up the 2 daggers belonging to the assassin he sent flying, Landon suddenly vanished like magic. And when heter reappeared, the many enemy ones would have just one word echoing within their brains –RUN!
.
"Where is he? Where is he?" Several enemies questions loudly with widened eyes of disbelief.
Who were they?
The f**king Morgs! They had the most superior skills and speed. So how was it that this guy could move around and none of them could even see or feel a trace of his whereabouts?
Poouf!!!~
Several people dropped to their knees with even more widened eyes after seeing a cold light sh from their necks.
''No! No! Impossible! I am the superior one! I am A Morg, I cannot die in the hands of lowlives!''
Unwillingness, pain, and fury engulfed the fallen group who were grabbing onto their necks and chocking on their own blood.
Bam!
From their knees, their bodies fell to the ground with their chests on the ground. "Blugh-Blugh-oof"
They tried speaking and cursing, but their throats and mouths were now incapable of making a single sentence. Cold… Cold…
Their bodies were growing colder by the second, despite their vigorously beating hearts. No! No! No! They can''t die now! They don''t want to die now!
They belonged to the Sacred Order, one of Morgany''s fiercest and most powerful groups. So how could this be? When they came for this mission, they had no doubt they would survive the ordeal. But after seeing the horrors involving the strange man in ck, they soon understood the reason why the fortress leader in that coastal region had said no one could get any information on Sir Vader.
Capture him alive?
They would be lucky if they could flee with their lives intact if facing him one on one. Dammit! No wonder he said they shoulde at him all at once. If they eliminate him first, then taking their target away would be a simple task.
.
"Grahhh!~"
The fallen Morgs bellowed in dismay. And in a hidden corner close to the battleground, Torres''s entire body was growing colder by the second. With a single look, his second-inmand gave out an order.
"Everyone, attack together!" Most of the guards protecting Frederik were injured or dead. So they were not a threat. Attack! Attack the man called Vader!
Swish!
The Morgs cast their pride away and worked together to attack one man. In the meantime, Torres and his second-inmand quickly moved towards through the woods with narrowed gazes.
Their sole mission was to capture the 2nd key alive. And if by some crazy unbelievable reality, they can''t, then they must acquire his blood any means possible, so they could unlock the next stage of the Holy Core!
No one thought the 2nd option would be a reality, yet here they are. Torres readied a cloth from his satchel, the closer they approached the carriage.
''Blood… Blood.. We need his Blood!''
