Blacksmith Assassin Meeting
The following day, before the sun could rise over the horizon, Sylvia found herself going to the front of the castle. There she is met by the flames brought about by the three dark elves who are working to escort the hero of the forge. All three of them wearing black robes that are made from materials only the dark elves know of. Making them almost invisible in the dead of night for those who do not know how to get through the illusion of these cloaks.“Alright, it seems that everyone is here.” Sylvia began as an introduction.However, her statement is far from being true. Not everyone is there. In fact, the vital part of this mission, the one who is the very essence of it, is still missing. That’s right. Zeke is nowhere to be seen, making one of the three elves raise her hand to ask a question.“Lady Sylvia, where is Lord Zeke?” Aries began. “He doesn’t seem to be with you.”“Our dear hero said he needed to drop by the forge one more time. It seems that the three of you gave him an i

When Zeke arrived into the scene, he brought with him a stillness. This isn’t the same kind of impact that he created when he stepped into the fight of the three dark elves in the arena. No. This is different. Far different. After all, he isn’t making any sort of special effect to this entrance of his. Zeke merely walked towards the center. Right at the side of where Sylvia is and, as soon as his presence is made known, the female dark elf also began to step aside. Moving to the side and giving the center to the hero of the Forge.“Everyone seems to be here already.” Zeke began as he looked around. There isn’t much for his eyes to gaze at. Only the three dark elves and their respective horses. That which they will ride on their way to the elven kingdom.These horses have armor placed over them. Not heavy ones that would burden the beasts but, rather, enchanted ones. Allowing the horses to run faster and be able to last longer on the journey. Not only this but the armor actually does
Blacksmith Assassin First Battle
Zeke’s group continued their journey until they reached a point where the sun is already peeking through the horizon. There is no stop nor rest within the interval between this. Just pure movement which is guided by Aries who leads their way. The dark elf who holds their map and, is also the one who is telling them which path is safe and which isn’t.The efficiency of this same dark elf cannot be looked down on as well. Compared to the hero of the Forge who needs to look at his minimap from time to time, Aries has the entirety of it memorized at the back of her head. Not in the simple way but in the most detailed version possible.As a citizen of the Forge, Aries has dedicated a portion of her life into understanding the terrain and, all the things that come with them as well. This means that Zeke won’t have trouble figuring out which parts are dangerous because, Aries already has this covered for him.The best part about this is that, Aries can do this even in the dark. That’s right.
Blacksmith Assassin Entering the Fray
The group of elves that entered into the forest are ones who are under the direct command of the queen. As such, it is also the queen’s orders that they are following. The same queen that told them that they need to take care of Zeke before he reaches the Elven kingdom.The thing is that, even though the heroes cannot be killed within each other’s respective kingdoms, once outside the walls, that rule doesn’t apply anymore. Not in the literal sense but in a more figurative one. After all, there are no eyes that can witness what happens in the territories already owned by the demons. As such, should Zeke fall here, it can easily be dismissed that he has been killed by monsters. That won’t happen so easily though. As long as Zeke has allies with him and, as long as at least one of them survives an ambush, then the news will reach the kingdom that houses the hero or heroine that’s killed. This would instantly make the hero-killing nation an enemy of all other nations.That is why it isn
Blacksmith Assassin First Victim
The group led by Claudius is scattered across the forest, just as what’s been reported to him by Berthold, the other members are out scouting while the rest are hunting for extra provision. This tactic is due to the consideration that, there is a very high possibility for the hero of the Forge to leave the kingdom of the dark elves after a couple more days of preparation. No. That is the only logical option that this hero can take. In the minds of those who think properly, there is no way that the hero would be able to leave earlier. After all, once the request for an audience reaches the ears of the hero and the higher authorities of Forge, they would first be shaken. Afterwards they would think of all the moves they can make, none of which would make sense to their miniscule minds.This is what’s normal. They are right on the first part of course. The dark elves were shaken by the news. In fact, when Sylvia received it, she could barely think straight anymore. That is the kind of i
Blacksmith Assassin The Second Victim
“One down.”Aries said these words as soon as the arrow left her bow. The projectile launched itself towards the target in such a blinding speed that, only after a millisecond, it already hit Martin. That is how quick the attack is. And with this swiftness also comes a silence. A tearing through the wind that is so soft and gentle that you’d think it is nothing more than a small razor that’s cutting through it, nothing bigger than that.But that’s not the case. What cut through it is far more lethal and Martin died as soon as the arrow made contact with him. He didn’t even realize it. That his head is no longer properly intact. That there is now an arrow that’s pierced through his brain. Breaking through all of his defenses as the elf fell to the ground. Reduced to nothing more than a lifeless corpse as the two elves that hunted him down finally began to close in.“Man, that’s really a wasted arrow if I ever did see one.” Silver commented. “Let’s not, okay?” Aries answered back.They
Blacksmith Assassin Ruthless
Claudius didn’t waste any time and went to the site where the explosion happened. Following him is none other than Berthold who is lagging just a bit behind. This is to be expected because, Claudius is running at full speed. A feat that he is doing because he knows exactly who it is that owns the explosion they just heard.His ears have heard this countless times already so there’s no way he can mistake it for anything else. He cannot miss. This explosion can only be produced by the fireball that is casted by Dyel. He’s sure that she is the only one capable of using such a fireball and making that kind of explosion and, even if he can doubt his ears, the mere fact that Berthold thought the same means that there is a higher chance that they are right.No. They are sure that they are right. This is a guarantee and, that is why they made their way swiftly. Other than being used as an offensive spell, the fireballs of Dyel are also used as a signal for the whole of the group. When she cas
Blacksmith Assassin The Cause
Before we move to what happened to the elves that are blown up, a question needs to be answered. Two of them to be exact. That is, the nature of these explosives and how they have been set up to hit the intended targets. And the explanation of this, part of it, is contained in the conversation that Zeke had with his allies before they left the kingdom.“Alright, before we go, I want to give you guys a little something.” Zeke opened his inventory. This is one of the many features that he has which the normal dwellers of this world do not. A privilege that allows him to hide everything that belongs to him as well as carry with him weight that shouldn’t even be possible for a single human to bring.From this same feature, Zeke drew out an item. Three of them to be exact which are all spheres. In the middle of these are small gems that are easily distinguishable as mana gems. Items that can carry with them mana and, is used for a wide array of activities.“What’s this my lord?” Caster as
