Chapter 48: Assassin

It was late at night at the moment. More than 10 people were making their way toward the orphanage gate, leading them in the front was a man wearing red armor. On the chest, part was a big, yellow, lion. Blood was dripping from the animal's hands.

This same man was also wearing a helmet, which closely resembled the head of a lion. Its color was yellow. At his waist, was strapped a golden, long sword. He also carried with him a red shield that had the same symbol on it.

This was of course, John Cavias, The Fierce Lion. He was leading the Cavias troop with him. He only brought ten here, one of which was very strong. That man wore no armor and looked more like an adventurer than a normal soldier or a guard.

He wore a helmet to protect his head and his identity. It was also a lion resembling headset. But this one was black. This guy was very close to the Fierce Lion's level of power and was more commonly known as the Black Lion.

He was an assassin, who at one point worked with the Crows of Death. He now works for the Fierce Lion instead. His work involves spy stuff. He was away during the day gathering other info on the Grey Dogs gang.

The Fierce Lion was thinking while making his way to the orphanage, 'I have let this go on for a long time now, I can't do that anymore! I must stop this farce, and now! Even if it means being made an enemy of the Poblico family!'.

'Dammit! Do trafficking children like this? I thought the Rising Sun was better than this. And now, working with the scum of the earth, the Hound! That bastard that was once also a part of the Crows of Death, just like the Shadow Assassin had been at one time!'.

'How many people have been killed by them until now? The Ashai tribe is still scarier than the Crows of Death though, they are very strong, and could assassinate anyone they want!'.

With that, the soldiers of the Cavias family were getting very close to the building, until they heard someone say, "Hey you, stop there! don't advance any further, I will treat you as enemies if you do so!".

A man that looked to be in his thirties was the person that spoke. He wore normal clothes and carried a normal sword with him. With him, were more than 10 other people, all armed as well.

The Fierce Lion couldn't be seen by them at the moment, since he had stopped advancing quite far from where the orphanage was. With him was the Black Lion, who spoke in a disinterested voice, as he asked.

"Lord, should I kill them all?". The Fierce Lion looked at the Black Lion beside him and shook his head. He said, "Bring me their leader, don't kill him! I want to be the one to kill him. Do it fast, and don't let anyone find you!".

The Black Lion nodded his head, as he disappeared in the next second. 'Hah! I might be stronger, but he's faster! Maybe as fast as the King's Power! It's funny to think that this guy could assassinate such a strong target!'.

The Fierce Lion saved the Black Lion during the war ten years ago. The Black Lion was about to assassinate the King's Power at the time but hadn't succeeded in his trial. He was left injured quite heavily but was still able to escape the King's Power's wrath.

But, he couldn't move that far due to his injury. He was about to be killed by The Green Mage when the Fierce Lion intervened. He saved him and gave him a chance to work for him. He was very impressed by this guy's talent, and they made an Origin Oath to prevent the Black Lion from killing anyone from the Cavias family without the approval of The Fierce Lion.

He became the Chief of Spies for the Cavias family. The Green Mage told no one about this story and merely kept it to himself, which was also the reason that the Cavias family was on good terms with the powerful mage.

The Green Mage wasn't a noble like the Yellow Sun was, and so, he wasn't very much welcomed by the nobles and rulers of the kingdom. Instead, he had to work hard to get the help of nobles - like the Cavias family - who had become one of his biggest supporters.

...

The Cavias family soldier stopped moving. The gang member then came a little forward with the 9 others and directed the torch in his hand to the front so he could see what this man looked like. Unfortunately for him, it was not the outcome he wanted.

The man carried the sigil of the Lion family, the infamous Cavias family. One of the strongest families in the kingdom. The man was frightened by this revelation, and couldn't think for a second, as he froze in his place.

The men beside him had the same reaction to seeing the emblem of the famous family, some of them started already surrendering from fear as they remembered the fearsome leader of the family, The Fierce Lion!

A man that was famous in the entire continent of Rosendar. Not only was he one of the main forces in the war ten years ago. He also raised an entire family name to fame by himself. Considered the sixth strongest of the 17 pillars of the kingdom.

The Cavias family soldier was holding a long red spear in his hand. He gestured at the frozen man and said, "Drop your weapons, and this ends nicely!". At that same moment, 8 other soldiers carrying the same emblem appeared beside him.

And then, the most fearsome man. The man wearing the lion's armor - The Fierce Lion - appeared.

The men belonging to the new gang called the Grey Dogs, shriveled in fear at the sight of this one man. Most of them froze in their place. Still, in the next second, they were even more shocked, as they saw someone drop from the air beside them.

Inside the orphanage, the Chief of Guards for the Ankston family was looking around, as he wore his night vision goggles and advanced toward the office where the man in charge of this place worked. He suspected that the leader of this small group of Grey Dogs was there.

Gleeward continued toward the office room, in his way was a man wearing adventurer clothing. He looked average and was probably a normal guard. Gleeward advanced in the shadows, and attacked with a small dagger, cutting the man's throat open.

The guards beside him couldn't believe how skilled he was at murdering another human being. But then again, they knew a little about their Chief, especially the title he was given during the Monster War, The Beast!

The gang member had no idea what happened, and could not even scream, since his mouth was covered. He died with blood spilling from his throat onto the ground beneath them. Gleeward put down the body and continued forward.

It didn't take him much time to reach the office. He readied his sword and broke down the door with ease. The light was off, and the room was dark. Yet, in the next second, a Cling sound could be heard.

It was the sound of two swords clashing with each other. The person on the other end of the sword was a man wearing adventurer's gear. He also had a large scar on his face. It was of course, the leader of this small group from the Grey Dogs.

"Hah! I knew it was suspicious when you said you wanted to meet me earlier on!", said the man holding a black sword in his hand, as he retreated from where the Chief of the Ankston family was.

Gleeward smiled and readied himself to attack, instead of defending like he just did. "Of course, but you weren't smart enough to prepare for our comeback, were you now?".

With that, the sound of a cling could be heard again, as Gleeward attacked with his sword and was countered by the black sword used by the captain of the Grey Dogs.

Unfortunately, their little fight ended in the next instant, as they both turned to look at the new figure there. This man wore normal adventuring gear as well, but he had a lion mask on, a black one at that.

Gleeward recognized him, as did the other man. It was the famous Black Lion. (To clarify something, the man called Black Lion didn't use to wear this kind of mask. It was only after he joined the Cavias family, that not reveal his real identity as the one who tried to assassinate the King's Power).

The man's expression turned dark from fear. He had heard from his leader, the Hound himself, about the Black Lion's true identity. He also knew what this meant, 'the Fierce Lion, is here'.

The scary man had come for him!

Still, the man didn't retreat but pushed Gleeward away before he tried to attack the newly arrived man. Unfortunately, his sword was stopped by the Black Lion's hand.

The black sword he was using was now being held in between the Black Lion's hands. The sword was snatched from him by the man wearing a black lion mask, after which, it was thrown to Gleeward who caught it.

The two then heard the Black Lion say, in a cold and uncaring voice, "I will be taking him with me now, don't get involved!". With that, in the next second, the Black Lion disappeared from his place again.

Next, he was behind the man with a big scar on his face. The man's arms were twisted and broken, a scream could be heard coming from him. The Black Lion took the man with him and disappeared once again. Just like that, Gleeward was left alone by himself in the office.

The man leading this small group of the Grey Dogs, felt like he had lost control of his body. He was being held by a strange man. A man even his leader - the Hound - had warned him about, the Black Lion.

A dangerous assassin, that was trained by the Shadow Assassin himself. The notorious assassin in the continent of Rosendar.

The Black Lion finally stopped, and the man felt like he was about to throw up from all this running. Especially since the speed was inhuman. But at the next second, the man was shocked to find himself being thrown out of a window.

'What? Wait, what is happening? Am I really falling down at the moment?', thought the man. In a few seconds, he felt a huge impact on the ground. He had fallen from a height of one floor.

He didn't die but lost something. One of his eyes was closed due to the impact damaging it, he would never be able to see with it again.

He opened his other eye, only to find another guy wearing a lion mask. The only difference was that this one was colored yellow. The man with a large scar immediately knew who this person was.

'The Fierce Lion!', thought the man as he gulped and said, "Hah! I am done for now!".
