On the outskirts of Iskar city, there is a small village containing about four hundred inhabitants, despite the simple appearance of the village, people here live a happy life, where the old men sit lazily in front of their homes and look at the children who play in front of them with a warm smile on their face, and women gathered around the well doing their laundry chatting with happy expressions
"Why does the master want to get rid of this village, I can't understand," said a child with a nervous expression as he watched the peaceful atmosphere in the village.
"Maybe he wants to test our loyalty," said another child
"it doesn't matter we are assassins our job is to carry out orders not to ask questions."
"But are you really going to kill those kids? I mean they are still very young."
"Don't forget the promise we gave to our master that we must complete the task at any cost."
In the middle of a nearby forest, a group of masked people is hiding and arguing in a low voice
"Shut up, after the task is done, Mr. Lucas will surely tell us why now just focus on the task," said Rin.
"Okay, let's get started quickly," Maya said
"It's… like that village," Amelia said in a low voice, looking at the village with a frightened look
Amelia still remembers vividly the simple village in which she was born, the village where her family and friends were, the village where she used to be happy and healthy, the village that was her home.
In reality, Amelia was born in a small village similar to this, but one day the village was attacked by a gang, the village was destroyed and the survivors were sold as slaves
"Amelia, what did you say?" Maya said with a questioning look
"I can't kill these people" Amelia said
"What? Amelia, didn't you notice the tattoo?" Maya said
"What? Do you know that tattoo?" Rin said
"Yes, Nor told us about a tattoo that monsters can use to be able to take the shape of a human. She said that the tattoo is so strong that it would be impossible to identify a monster using this tattoo unless you could identify the tattoo itself, and the tattoo that Nor mentioned is exactly like this." Maya
"Do you mean?" a child said
"Yes, they are a village of monsters," Amelia said, "but they are peaceful. Why should we kill them?"
"Amelia, they are monsters, not humans, why do you sympathize with them?" Maya said
"I'm sorry, I can't kill those kids for no reason," Amelia said
"Amelia, are you kidding me, a month ago you were killing your comrades in cold blood and now you can't kill a bunch of strange monsters?" Rin said angrily.
"I… I… I did it to survive." Amelia mumbled in a low voice
"Amelia, do you know the penalty for what you're doing now? It's disobeying orders," Rin said with an angry voice
"Rin shut up." Maya said to Rin angrily, then turned to Amelia and said, "Amelia, do you think we can escape our destiny?"
"…" Amelia
"Do you think we can escape being assassins?" Maya
"…" Amelia
"Amelia answered me" Maya
"No… I don't think so" Amelia
"As long as we are assassins, there will be times when we will not like our tasks, but we do not have the luxury of refusing, even if we decide not to carry out the task. Do you think this village will survive? He has already decided that he will get rid of this village, the chance of its survival is zero," Maya said in a low voice.
After some time of hard thinking, Amelia said
"You're right," Amelia said, looking at Maya with a complex look. "thank you Maya"
"It's alright," Maya said with a smile
"Everybody, this is your last warning. Mr. Lucas saved us and made us stronger he even promised to give us our revenge he is a benefactor to us, but if you think he is kind enough to forgive those who disobey his orders, you are mistaken," said Rin with a serious expression, looking at the children." I hope what happened today will not happen again."
"It will not happen again," the children said
"I'm sorry, Rin. This won't happen again." Amelia said with a sorry expression
"Okay," said Rin, "now let's start the mission, surround the village, don't let anyone escape."
And thus the masked children dispersed and surrounded the village, in fact, although they were assassins in this mission they chose direct attack
The reason they convinced themselves was that a direct attack would be faster but the real reason was that they wanted to try out their new powers.
"It's an attack, we're being attacked."
"ruuuun"
" They surround the village."
And this is how the killers attacked the village with amazing ingenuity and various kinds of abilities. For example, there is a child who controls the wind and a child who can move very fast, there is even a child who has a fifth-rank spirit that gives him wings that can fly and shoot sharp feathers from his wings, but the greatest abilities…
A woman was running with all her might towards the underground bunker, carrying a little girl on her back. Suddenly, a thin and tall man appeared in front of her, dressed in black clothes covering his whole body.
The woman knew she couldn't go back, so she took a knife out of her clothes
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" she kept running towards the black character with all her might, pointing the knife at him. Suddenly…
Suddenly a black thread shot out from the figure, blinding the woman for a while suddenly she felt that she had hit a wall and fell to the ground when her sight returned, she found in front of her a tall shadow figure without a face.
"p.. please.. don't kill my dau…" Before the woman finished speaking, the spear carried by the golden figure pierced her.
"Mama…M…maaaaama!" the little girl cried out loud, but suddenly a black arrow pierced her head too, and she fell near her mother with tears in her eyes.
