I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 94: True Target

"Come, little dog." taunted Angus

"Dog!! Brat!!! I am… *Arrrgghhh*" shouted the assassin as he was pierced by a short dark blade.

*Cough* *Cough* "W-Who are you?" said the assassin.

"Naz, the Jackal. By breaking the code, You are no longer part of the Bloody Star." heard a hoarse voice from the black cloud behind the assassin.

"Grr.. Who do… you think… " before Naz could finish his sentence the person behind him beheaded Naz in one move.

Looking at this, Angus immediately takes up his guard and is ready for another battle.

'This person is strong. I couldn't even detect this person even with [Mana Echolocation].' thought Agnus while keeping focusing on the new intruder.

Looking at Angus put up a guard, "At ease, kid. If I want you dead, you will already be dead by now." said the person.

Still Angus didn't lower his guard as he felt a dangerous feeling from him. Then, the person ignored Angus and took out a card.

"Before I forget, I thank you for delaying Naz before he did something unforgivable. So, On behalf of Bloody Star, I thank you for your effort." said the person while throwing the card to Agnus.

"Why do you thank me?" asked Angus while catching the card easily.

"We Bloody Star may be an assassin but we have our own codes to keep surviving since ancient times. One of them is never to target royalty or leaders. Naz breaks this code while even using our organization name."

"If it is not because you delay him, he may already finish his job. So, we are in your debt. Use that card if you need one of our services. As long as the target is not royalties or a leader we could fulfill our contract." said the person before disappearing into nothingness.

Looking that the person is completely gone and the silence returns to the hall. Angus feeling relieved before finally slumping on the ground. For the first time since he reincarnated into this world, he feels that he is being so close to death.

'Huft.. I should just stay in the manor.' thought Angus inwardly.

Then, Angus takes a look at the card. It has a picture of a black background with a red star in the middle. The other side there are two words 'Silent Killer' with red blood color. Besides that he didn't see anything.

After a moment, Angus feels Darius approaching from far away at fast speed. Then, Angus stores the card and his Sky Thorn before calming his surge adrenaline and rough breath.

Although the battle only happens for a few minutes, Angus feels like fighting for hours or days. Each of the Naz attacks may not target his vital point but it still wound and hurted him badly.

Moreover, Angus needs to constantly imbue his body with mana or he will be thrown away by Naz's attack force.

After a while, "Fourth Princess!!" shouted Darius

He noticed that all the guards beside Angus and Jayna were dead. Furthermore, Angus is constantly bleeding from all his small wounds while the princess is unconscious. He also found Naz's corpse and his broken bloody star emblem.

"Uncle Darius…" said Angus.

"Safe it for later, young master Victory. We need to tend your wound now." said Darius.

Then, Darius commands the other guards to take Angus and Jayna away. During the way, Angus couldn't help but fall unconscious from losing too much blood.

Fortunately, there is a medical doctor that stays inside the Royal Palace. By using healing magic and potion, Angus's condition will be recovered easily.

While Darius and some guards take him to the medical room, the other royal guard is fighting against the Lefty Coin's member at the Royal Palace entrance. Still, because of the difference in both parties.

The Lefty Coin's members could easily be subdued by the Royal Guard and Ban. At first Ban is going towards the capital city, however arriving at the entrance few people run towards the guards and explode themself.

By using his magic eyes, he knows that there is something wrong with these people as their mana is too volatile before they explode themself and avoid them.

'Something is wrong. This is people… only low grade people without any significant power.' thought Ban while he kept subduing the Lefty Coin's member.

"Boss, most of our members are getting subdued already," said one of the intruders towards Victor in the back.

"Really?? Then, it's finally our time to shine." said Victor.

Victor flares up his mana. Ban who noticed this, "Quick!! Kill that man!!" as he ran towards Victor.

Feeling he couldn't reach Victor in time, Ban brandished his sword [Sword Art - Sword Thrust]. Many invisible bullets flying hit Victor's body, However Victor already finished what he wanted to do. Soon, all the subdued Lefty Coin's member mana begin to volatile.

Noticing this, "Everyone, get away from them!!" shouted Ban.

Before long all the members of Lefty Coin exploded themself. *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* The explosion was so strong that it could have wounded all the nearby royal guards. Even Ban with his superior speed couldn't avoid it perfectly from such a close range.

"*Cough* *Cough* Is everyone alright?" said Ban while he stabilized himself.

Most of the royal guard decimated and tried to stabilize themself from the huge explosion. They didn't think that the subdued member will be suicide in this way.

Looking that some of the Royal Guard were heavily wounded and killed. Ban feels a little bit angry and approaches Victor who is thrown away from the explosion.

"Did you realize what you are doing?" asked Ban while glaring at Victor who was bleeding from all over his body.

"Kekeke… Of course, *Cough* All of what I did... is for the sake of my lord. *Cough* *Cough* You.. Are too… Late." as Victor died from his wound.

'My lord?? Who?? Why am I late??' thought Ban inwardly.

"Master Ban, are you alright?" said one of the light wounded royal guards.

"Yes.. How are the others? Any casualty??" asked Ban back.

"So far there is no casualty but there are few seriously injured guards." said the Royal Guard.

"Alright, increase the security be it inside the royal palace and the surrounding perimeter. I will be back to the Fourth Princess side." said Ban.

"Right away, Sir." replied the royal guard before commanding the others.

As he went back inside the Royal Palace, he found that Angus and Jayna were in the medical room. Worried about his disciple and her friend he immediately went towards them.

Meanwhile, In the outskirts of Capital City there is a hidden fortress. The fortress is concealed with many magic rune and defense mechanisms.

Besides few important people in the Heart Kingdom, no one knows the location of this Fortress. The Fortress is called Altez Prison. The most secure prison in the Heart Kingdom.

This is a special prison for high grade criminals that could not be executed in a normal way. High Grade people have more resilient bodies than ordinary people. Most of the criminals that are sent into this place are the ones with the most heinous crimes.

Most of them are already sentenced to death, however some of them are so bad that even a death is not a good punishment. So, the Heart Kingdom create this most secure place in the outskirt of capital city to torture the criminal for eternity.

After a certain time, the King himself will execute the criminal in his free time. However, because of the monster overlord incident, more people are coming inside the prison than people that are getting executed. As the King has become busier in recent years.

Suddenly, this secure prison heard a loud explosion sound and tremor from the capital city direction. All the guards immediately become alert and look at the outside. During this moment, something is thrown towards the fortress.

The elite guard immediately reacts and shatters the item. Then, the other guards found that it was a crystal with a rune on it.

"That's Sealed Crystal. Everyone get away from there!!" shout one of the leader guards.

Before everyone could move out, the guard nearby slump on the ground while coughing blood from all of their orifices. Soon, panic and chaos start from inside the fortress. At this moment, a group in the black cloak approaches the hidden fortress.

"Claire, it's your turn." said one of the men.

Then, the woman named Claire raises her hand above and creates a gigantic magic circle encompassing the whole fortress while chanting some unknown word.

Meanwhile, inside the chaotic fortress, more guards start to bleed from all their orifices and dying.

In one of the inner rooms, a guard coming in hurry, "Sir, we are under attack."

"What!!" said the warden before coming out to the outside.

Looking at the gigantic magic circle in the sky above the fortress and his poison that killed many of his guards, "Everyone, cover your body with mana!! There is poison in the air!!" Someone, notify the Royal Palace about this current situation!!" command the warden.

He could feel that this is not an ordinary intruder. Furthermore, he could feel that all the approaching group was high level combatant.

"Want to break into my prison!! Come get it over my body!!"
