"You will regret making an enemy out of the Lunarstella Empire."Selena said coldly as her mana put huge pressure around her.The man before her quickly jumped back.He was shocked by Selena's strength.She was stronger than he thought.Selena Lunarstella was quite famous on the Dreamland continent.There was no doubt that in a few years she would be as strong as Zack.Her win against Prince Albert from Solaria and Prince Arnold from Fulgura spread everywhere on the continent.It caused quite an uproar after all.With Bryan Nychterin, they were the strongest youth.Swish!"Selenite Wave."She swung her spear horizontally and a trail of crystal reached the man.The man snorted and a huge pillar of flames appeared before him.Booom!Several pieces of crystal grazed the man's body."This…!"Before he jumped away, he was surrounded by crystal pillars around him."Selenite Vault!"She shouted, swirling her spear around.The pillar's head moved and dived toward the man to crush him."Shit!
[Aita's side]A few minutes before…Bam!Crash!"Aren't you pathetic guys, for assassins, huh ?"Aita asked in a mocking tone."T-This guy…"The man who was punched right on the nose stood up staggeringly."What the hell is this ?"Another man asked with a fed-up expression.They were at an advantage at first, but suddenly Aita's fighting style changed.He attacked with his legs and hands. His movements were very fast and smooth.More importantly, he attacked vital spots with great accuracy.They couldn't know that he was using Krav-maga.Orion's perfect memories and his own strength made his attack extremely strong and fast."Shut up brat !"Another man was angry at Aita's ridicule, so he rushed toward him."Die!"He swung his fist covered in wind magic.Aita tilted his body and raised his legs shrouded in dark green wind.Then, with a cruel smile, he kicked the man's kneecap.Crack!"Aaaaaaahhhh!"The man let out a pained scream as his left leg was bent on the wrong side.Aita raise
"Now you can't run away from me with your tail between your cowardly legs."Aita's disdain for his opponents could be felt in his words.Narvi slapped his face at Aita's umpteenth provocation.Two veins popped out on the two remaining assassins' foreheads as expected."I-I will kill him!!"The wind-user man snapped as he channeled a huge amount of mana.The same was for the earth-user man as he glared hatefully at Aita.Bam!Stomping the ground, the wind-user man jumped at Aita but this time he was careful.He wasn't the only one, as even his mate took Aita seriously now.Aita's tattoo shone as he gathered mana on his left hand."Njord Wind.""Wind…!"Aita punched his left hand while his opponent punched his right."Air blast!""Cannon!"Booooom!A huge shockwave rippled through the surroundings and the wind fiercely pushed aside any light things.The earth user had to cover his eyes while Narvi was desperately clinging to a tree.As soon as their attacks canceled each other, they sli
"Shut up, it's cringe."Aita cut him off as the man started speaking.""Pfft!""Selena and Narvi stifled a laugh at that.The man's expression became mad.As expected, he really wanted to kill Aita.It was not about his mission anymore.He needed to kill Aita for his mental health."Njord Wind, Blades."Aita didn't waste time any more and attacked."Earth wall!"Boom!The wall protected him from the wind blades."!"Sensing a threat, he quickly jumped back.Crash!Several spikes of crystal pierced the ground."Narvi, step back!""Y-yes!"Confirming that her brother had stepped back, Selena continued to support Aita from behind."Air blast!""Earth pillar!Boom!Dodging the pieces of earth flying everywhere, Aita clenched his fist.Bam!"Gah!"The man who was punched in the stomach lost his breath and rolled on the ground."Selenite lances!"Selena immediately followed as she launched several spikes of crystal toward the injured man.The latter glared at them and punched the ground.Ba
Thud!"Ah…ah…ah…ah…"Aita knelt on the ground, as he was out of breath.He was totally out of mana now."Are you okay ?"Looking up, Aita saw Selena and her brother.Narvi was hugging Selena's waist, he seemed scared of Aita...When Aita's dark green eyes fell on him, Narvi hid completely behind Selena."Hey, don't scare my brother."Selena said with a frown, though she just wanted to annoy him.Aita moved his gaze to Selena's beautiful sky-blue eyes.It was really a beautiful pair of blue eyes bordering cyan.As for Selena, she was fascinated by Aita's dark green eyes."He-"It was the first time she saw that close his eyes and she couldn't help but find them very beautiful."Lunar princ-"Then looking at his face, she frowned. With half of his black hair turning golden, he really looked like a stranger."Hey!"Flick!"Ouch!"Selena, whose forehead was flicked, groaned in pain."Why did you do that?!"She glared at him while stroking her forehead."Noisy. You were not answering me."
"What the hell happened to him...?"Aita muttered as he stared at Zack's state.Boooom!A shockwave rippled suddenly toward them."Selenite wall!"Piercing the ground with her spear, Selena shouted.Crack!She soon reacted as a huge wall of crystal appeared before them."Uncle!""!"Hearing the familiar voice, Zack pushed away the leader of assassins and landed on the ground.Thud_Turning around, he was surprised to see them all there."Selena, Narvi, Aita...""Uncle, what happened to your body ?! What are these stains ?"Selena said, grabbing Zack's purplish and bloodied left arm."It's nothing Luna, I just need a healing elixir."Zack said with a reassuring smile."Then!"Selena immediately took a healing elixir but..."It's useless."A muffled voice rang out.They all turned their heads toward the voice and saw the leader with earth armor.Behind him was one of his subordinates.They were the last two remaining of the nine."What do you mean?!"Selena glared at the men."Ahaha! Qu
"Soren!""Eh ?"A ten-year-old child turned around and saw a lance approaching at great speed toward him.Whooosh!But before that, a shadow came in front of him.Spurt!Blood splattered on Soren's face.Looking up, he saw a familiar pair of dark green eyes and froze."M-Mom..?""Cough! A-Are you okay Soren ?""M-Mom!"Soren moved from his frozen state and hugged his mother.A spear was pierced on her back."Mom! We have to heal y-!"Bam!"Kah!"A fist collided with his stomach and Soren rolled on the ground."Soren!"Vanadis crawled on the ground toward her son."You are pathetic, Vanadis."A cold voice rang out from behind.Thud_A burly and tall man came out.He seemed no more than eighteen.Shoulder length golden-blond hair tied on his back, beard and several tattoos on his face reaching his neck.His cold red eyes looked with disappointment at Vanadis hugging Soren."I-I will kill you Bjorn...""Hm ?"Hearing the low voice, Bjorn turned his gaze to Soren, who was hugged by Vanadi
Selena didn't think twice before rushing toward her brother.She immediately hugged him protectively."Si-Sister..."Narvi's body shivered in her embrace."Don't worry Narvi, I'm here."Selena said and created a huge cocoon of crystal around them.But she was sure that it wouldn't be enough.She was out of mana and tired mentally.Moreover, her opponent was far stronger than her."Die!"The leader's voice rang out from the outside.Selena closed her eyes and hugged Narvi tightly.Crack!Boom!As expected, the crystal cocoon didn't last long.'Father! mother!'Spurt!Warm liquid spattered on her face.She knew it was blood but was surprised as she didn't feel any pain.Opening her eyes slowly, she saw the back of Aita.A pointed tip was coming out of the left side of his stomach.Drip_ Drip_ Drip_Blood was still falling on Selena's face."W-Why?"Selena was shocked.She thought that Aita would never put his life below others.There was a deal of protecting them but was it just that ?
