Sovereign of the Firmaments

"Beck, which one do you want?"

Even though both the assassins that were rushing towards them had the strength of tier 1 General assassin, Lucas and Beck didn't show any fear on their faces.

Instead, Lucas asked Beck with a slight smile on his face.

"The short assassin looks powerful. So, I will take him."

Beck replied after looking at the two assassins and replied.

"Die."

However, just as Beck replied to Lucas, the two assassins were already in front of them.

'Clang'

"Looks like I will be taking the short one."

In front of Lucas and Beck, a huge sword appeared which was big enough to block the two assassins in front of him.

After blocking the attacks, Lucas selected his opponent and attacked the short assassin leaving the tall one to Beck.

"Be careful, young master."

After spending some time with her young master, Beck knew her young master became so mysterious and believed that he would be strong enough to stall for enough time until she went to his rescue.

'Kacha'

In the next second, the huge sword that blocked the assassins' earlier attack broke into tiny pieces.

"Kid, you are brave to choose me as your opponent."

The short assassin was surprised to see that Lucas was taking the initiative to attack him and continued to say, "But, you will be dying today."

'Swoosh'

'Slash'

Just as the short assassin finished his words, Lucas made a small cut on the short assassin's hand.

'Huh?'

Seeing that cut on his hand, the short assassin was surprised for a moment before saying, "Kid, your footwork is very good. You move without any sound and at the same time, you are very fast for a tier 3 lesser knight."

Surprisingly, the short assassin was not at all furious; instead, he revealed a slight smile on his face as he praised Lucas's footwork.

'Fiery rage'

'Thunder knight's rage'

'Ding,

 The host's battle prowess will be increased by 10 percent for the next 30 minutes.

'Ding,

The host is angry now and triggers the 'Thunder knight's rage'.

'Ding,

 The host's battle prowess will be increased by three times for the next 10 minutes.

Just like always, Lucas used the time where the short assassin was speaking to boost his strength by his basic spell and skill.

"Huh? A boost up? Interesting...no wonder, the bounty on your head is so high."

The short assassin who was praising Lucas for his footwork was surprised once again.

"Those who wish to kill me should prepare to die."

As for Lucas, once he received the boosts, he was like a fired bullet, rushing straight at the short assassin with his rank 3 short swords.

'Clang'

Even though Lucas was very fast, it was not enough for the short assassin to become anxious as he casually used one of his two daggers to block Lucas' short sword.

"Since you want to play, let's play."

The short assassin lightly chuckled as he allowed Lucas to attack while he remained on blocking Lucas' attacks without much difficulty.

…..

On the other side,

"Little girl, you are feisty and I like that."

Looking at Beck, the assassin revealed a lewd look on his face as he continued to say, "I will give you one last chance. If you leave this place silently, I will remove your name from my head."

Compared to before, the assassin liked Beck even more as he gave another offer to her.

"Everyone, come out."

However, Beck had a disgusted look on her face as she summoned five spirit beasts and all of them were rank 3.

Ada, the winged white lion, Spade, the netherworld spider, Dane, the forest imp, Fenris, the silverback wolf and Aria, the forest fairy.

Compared to a few days back, all the spirit beasts became rank 3 and gained new skills.

"Huh? Do you have five rank 3 spirit beasts? No wonder, you are feisty….Haha."

Seeing the powerful-looking spirit beasts in front of Beck, the tall assassin chuckled and at the same time, he silently muttered, 'What the hell! According to the intel, she should only have two rank 3 spirit beasts. I need to be careful.'

Even though he was laughing on the surface, he feared fighting Beck.

Actually, that was the original reason why he asked Beck to leave this place again and again because a beast tamer is a powerful profession.

Moreover, he was expecting Beck to have another rank 3 spirit beast from the beginning; however, he didn't expect her to have a total of five rank 3 spirit beasts.

"Battle forms."

Beck didn't want to waste any of her time and wanted to kill the assassin as soon as possible before helping Lucas, who was having a hard time against the short assassin.

As soon as she used her first advanced spell, all five rank 3 spirit beasts in front of her turned into fierce spirit beasts except for the forest fairy who became more beautiful.

In her battle form, she looked just like a human; however, she had transparent wings on her back.

Soon, the battle between the tier 1 lesser assassin and Beck has officially started.

....

'Huf huf'

On the other hand, Lucas was breathing heavily as he continued to attack the short assassin.

"Kid, I think I played enough with you. It's time to end."

The short assassin noticed that his brother was having trouble in dealing with the spirit beasts of Beck and decided to stop playing with Lucas.

'Huf huf'

"Me too. You are a lousy assassin and your skills as an assassin are making me bored."

Even though Lucas was breathing heavily, he still had a calm look on his face as he mocked the short assassin.

According to Lucas, an assassin should not let his presence known by others, mainly his target. 

Not only did the short assassin in front of him fail in it, but he was also even talking nonsense and wasted time by toying with his target. 

So, Lucas felt, even though this world had powerful assassins, it was entirely because of the skills they gained by sacrificing the spirit beasts at each rank.

'They are really lacking compared to the 10 deadly assassins from my world.'

Lucas silently muttered to himself looking at the short assassin in front of him.

"Damn you, brat. Even though you don't have the strength, you can talk big."

The short assassin was a little furious; however, when he thought Lucas was just trying to make him angry. So, he mocked back as he rushed towards Lucas to finish him.

'Hehe'

In return, Lucas revealed an evil smile on his face that made the incoming short assassin frown a bit; however, he didn't stop as he slashed his dagger at Lucas.

'Swoosh'

However, Lucas who learned the fighting style of the short assassin until now, easily dodged the attack and said, "A good assassin need to watch his back for the possible sneak attacks."

"Advanced spell 'Teleport'."

As soon as he finished his advice to the short assassin, Lucas shouted as he jumped back before disappearing without a trace.

'What? A teleportation spell?'

The short assassin was shocked when he saw Lucas disappear right in front of his eyes.
