This was a tough voice that seemed like gravel being scraped.

Listening to this sort of voice was very uncomfortable for individuals, however when the boss of the Crow Gang heard this, his expression lit up. It was as if he had heard the voice of his saviour.

There was a big cloaked determine that had been hidden by the thugs earlier than that stood up and walked over to the place the boss was.

The boss checked out this cloaked determine with narrowed eyes earlier than asking, “Are you certain? If you happen to do that, you will not be capable to keep right here anymore.”

Although he mentioned this, there was part of him deep down that also wished the cloaked determine to do that. He knew how a lot cash they’d earn from this job, so he did not wish to give it up if he did not must.

Even when he was a wise man that understood the dangers of killing a noble, he was additionally grasping in that he could not let go of the massive sum of money that got here with this if he had a alternative.

“Ga, ba, ba, ba.” The giggle from this cloaked determine was just like the sound of rocks falling down a cliff earlier than they mentioned, “It is not an issue for me to kill a noble. You do not have to fret about me in any respect.”

As he mentioned this, I could not assist feeling a chill run down my backbone.

It was as a result of I might inform that he was critical about this.

This was a conviction and confidence that these thugs did not have, this was actual conviction and confidence that could not be defeated.

I by no means thought that I’d meet this sort of particular person right here.

However on the similar time, I could not assist feeling that this sort of voice appeared acquainted…There was one thing about it that made me really feel like I had heard a voice like this earlier than.

Seeing that he was so assured, the boss mentioned, “Alright, then do it.”

The cloaked determine gave a nod earlier than saying, “Be sure you add a bit additional to our severance pay.”

The boss gave a robust nod as he mentioned, “No drawback.”

These two weren’t subordinates of the Crow Gang, these two had been mercenaries that the boss had employed for a sure job.

The explanation that they had been nonetheless within the Crow Gang now was due to the abilities and energy that that they had demonstrated. They far surpassed any of the subordinates that the Crow Gang had, so the boss had spent fairly a bit of cash to maintain them right here.

It appeared like his funding had actually paid off in the long run.

So the boss mentioned, “Filter out the remaining and depart the noble to Rock and Bat.”

Rock and Bat was the nickname that these two had given him. Rock was the massive cloaked determine and Bat was the smaller and thinner cloaked determine that used daggers.

With this order, the battle started.

Since they knew that they did not must battle the noble themselves, the gangsters had been crammed with enthusiasm.

They knew how a lot this job would convey them, so their greed stuffed them with pleasure.

Seeing that they weren’t prepared to again down, Shaka and Jessica pulled out their weapons to face them. As they moved ahead, they made certain that I used to be behind them in order that they may shield me.

This made me really feel awkward since I used to be a part of the group that was being protected, however I knew that there was no different alternative since I actually wasn’t a fighter.

So I moved over to the place Haley and her father had been to assist untie them whereas the remaining fought.

There was nothing to say about Jessica’s skill to battle since she was a knight who had been specifically skilled by Cecilia. She was somebody who might even battle center class monsters at a slight drawback, so she had no drawback combating these thugs.

Shaka then again was surprisingly a robust fighter that did not lose to Jessica in battle energy.

He targeted extra on velocity than energy, however his velocity was at a degree that the thugs simply could not sustain with. By the point that they reacted, he was already behind them and his daggers had been at their throats.

So the gangsters weren’t capable of make any progress ahead with the 2 of them conserving guard.

That’s till the 2 cloaked figures made their means ahead.

The one known as Bats got here ahead together with his dagger raised and he stopped Shaka in his tracks. The velocity that he demonstrated was greater than sufficient to maintain up with Shaka, so the 2 of them entered a stalemate.

As for the one known as Rock, he pulled out a big sword that was nearly as huge as Jessica.

With a single sweep of this sword, Jessica who tried to dam it was despatched flying. 

She was capable of block it and he or she wasn’t damage by this assault, however the drive behind it was way over she might negate, so she was despatched flying via the air.

The massive cloaked determine did not comply with up on this after sending Jessica flying. As a substitute, he continued charging ahead in the direction of me.

Jessica noticed this and with a talented flip within the air, she landed on her toes earlier than charging on the tall cloaked determine.

·ƈθm However earlier than she might take greater than two steps, there was a dagger that flew via the air in the direction of her. She was barely capable of twist herself in time in order that the dagger landed on her sword and never her neck.

This dagger had come from Bats who had been combating Shaka.

He had two daggers in his hand, one which he was utilizing to fend off Shaka’s assault and the opposite that he had thrown at Jessica.

Seeing that he did not have one other dagger, Jessica turned again to the massive cloaked determine.

However she was improper about this as Bats pulled out a dagger from an unknown place that he threw at her once more. She had no alternative however to dodge this dagger and keep the place she was since she knew that she can be stabbed within the again if she charged on the massive cloaked determine.

Identical to this, Bats was capable of maintain the 2 finest fighters on our facet occupied by himself.

It did not even appear to be he was breaking a sweat with the way in which that he was combating.

So the massive cloaked determine was given an open path to me that he took.

As he ran at me, the massive sword in his hand got here up above his head and it was clear that he was going to smash it down at me.

Since this sword was even greater than Jessica, this sword was thought-about large for me who was shorter than her. It was so huge that it appeared prefer it might crush me simply by falling on me.

To not point out somebody swinging it down on my head with all of the drive that they may muster.

Regardless of how one checked out it, it appeared like I used to be about to die.

However I did not panic in any respect after I noticed the massive cloaked determine operating at me.
