Solutus

With the attack many assassins started flocking the 100-odd Exousians. Broly's elite teams were covering as much ground as they could as they attacked the incoming assassins. Most assassins had strange abilities which had shrouded the surroundings in colorful lights.

Although the abilities were strange and had a numerical advantage on their side, it wasn't much in front of the destructive power of Exousia's most elite soldiers. The assassins could only be called mediocre compared to the Exousians.

Not only couldn't most of them contend against the average elite but as they saw a giant, no a beast, bulldoze through their ranks with just its body, panic quickly followed. Many attacks landed on that beast, but it seemed like it had no effect at all.

"Acid Rain!" "Paralysis!" "Fireball!" The attacks flashed with rays of lights, but the beast was running through them as if they were just splashing some water his way. Not only didn't he stop or slow down, he got even faster, the stronger the attacks became.

It was like he got more excited as the fight went on. The beast was swatting the assassins like flies, but instead of sending the victim flying, every slap would rip apart its victim. Most were terrified after seeing it casually slap a guy, only to leave behind two legs. Of course, some where still confident.

"Flame Tsunami!" A giant wave made out of scorching flames was heading straight for the beast. The assassin that had used the attack was a high-ranked senior, known for his flame magic. It was said that even if he was deep underwater, he would still be able to create flames.

His flames were said to have reached star level temperatures. The other assassins were elated as they saw their senior take it upon himself to engage this beast, but before they could rejoice, their countenance changed into a terrified one.

They saw how the beast didn't evade the tsunami of flames but just ran straight through it as if the flames didn't exist at all. The senior was flabbergasted as well. He couldn't believe that someone had ignored an attack that he took pride in, but there was nothing he could say anymore as the beast had already reached him.

It didn't even look like the beast had noticed him as he was staring into the distance. The beast didn't even attack him but just ran against the senior. The senior wasn't able to react and was sent flying by a knee to his face.

He flew for hundreds of meters until he crash-landed on the ground. He was dazed and he heard his whole skull cracking with every moment. He was dizzy and didn't know for a second what happened until he noticed the trembling. He raised his head with effort to see what was heading his way, but he was only greeted with a giant foot.

The assassins that were able to see the situation were frightened out of their wits. A high-ranking assassin was accidentally being squashed as the beast ran over him. The body with its squashed head was still twitching slightly.

There was no need for more evidence for the assassins' present. They weren't able to contend against that monster. Even the other stronger assassins that were previously confident in their abilities were avoiding it like a pest.

Broly didn't bother with these little insects, as he would put it. He had his eyes at something different. While he was killing a few people, he sensed their lifeforce fly towards a tower in the middle of the city. He didn't know what it was used for but he sure as hell wouldn't let them continue whatever they wanted.

He didn't worry about his team as Alea and the others were enough to take care of the stronger assassins. As for the normal assassins, if there aren't too many, they were just easy prey for the elites.

Broly dashed to the tower in a straight line. Whatever was between him and the tower didn't slow him down at all. Be it buildings, trees or assassins, they were crushed, pierced and ripped apart as he went through the city.

On his way he didn't forget to send out some casual ki blasts to lessen the burden of his troop a bit. Just a casual wave of him was enough to decimate dozens of assassins and cause chaos in their ranks. Their fighting moral was heavily hit by this anomaly called Broly.

In only a few seconds of dashing through the city, he left behind a trail of destruction and traumatized assassins. Only a few kilometers away from the tower his eyes suddenly constricted, and he dodged to the side.

For the first time he was here, he had to dodge an attack and deviate from his path. After he dodged, the ground, where he just stood, was split apart. Broly had already spotted the attacker.

A 2.4-meter-tall stout man with explosive muscles. He had a giant black sword on his shoulder. It absorbed all light in the surroundings. Broly frowned as he noticed that the space around that man was distorted and reality warped around him like he was about to leave this dimension. He knew that this person could travel through space and time with his sheer strength.

He was far above the assassins on the level of Reap or Kou, who mostly relied on their unique abilities. It wouldn't even be far off to say that this person could give Broly a run for his money. Broly also speculated who this person was, the number one assassin.

There were some rumors that had told of his might. It was said that he could slay any person from light years away without causing a single disturbance. Of course, Broly knew that legends and myths would be exaggerated with time, so previously he wasn't too concerned about this number one assassin.

Even if those myths weren't exaggerated, if he put his mind to it, he could do feats that would overshadow those. But still now he needed had to reevaluate this assassin, especially because of his weapon. The sword of his, Broly couldn't sense it.

It looked like there wasn't anything in that assassins' hands, like he was grabbing the air. Broly was only able to see it with his eyes, but otherwise it would be a blind spot for him.

Broly studied the assassin in front of him. A tall strong body, short red hair and red eyes with a gaze that seemed to pierce through anything. Pale skin with a lot of scars on his upper body.

He didn't wear anything except for black pants. Even his feet were covered in scars. He looked more like a warrior than an assassin, even his posture and his aura was that of a warrior not of someone that attacked out of the shadows.

Even if he attacked him without warning just a moment ago, for Broly it felt more like a welcoming. Besides he even attacked from the front, which was also reason why Broly was able to evade the attack.

Although he couldn't sense the sword, he saw how the assassin raised his hand and slashed down. With his instinct warning him, Broly had quickly evaded to the side.

As Broly was studying the assassin, so was his opponent. Broly was standing 3-meters-tall in his battle armor and gave off a terrifying aura that crushed the ground around him.

After observing their opponents, their gazes met.

For a moment, it looked like the center of the universe was those two that were about to face each other in the middle of a floating city.

"I suppose you are the strongest around here?" Broly broke the silence. The assassin nodded slightly. He was silent for a moment before opening his mouth again.

"I heard about you, King Broly. The people in the light praise you and your subjects as the peace bringers and the ones in the dark call you a tyrant, who hunts them down like cattle. You are equally hated as you are worshipped."

Broly raised an eyebrow.

"You know about me but what about you. Mister number one assassin." The assassin smiled slightly.

"I am just someone who threads the same path as you. I was known as Solutus."

"Alright, enough chitchat, let's get down to business!" Broly said. His voice couldn't hide the thirst for battle any longer. He was here to completely eradicate this organization and after he defeated the backbone, the rest of the organization would inevitably fall with him.

He put the tower into the back of his mind as he concentrated on the opponent in front of him. Even if he tried to go for the tower, he wasn't confident in escaping Solutus pursuit unharmed. So, if he couldn't shake him off, he would just stomp him into the ground first!
