Chronos part 4

He quickly looked at the prince as his skin starting from the place he was injured, slowly started to change its colour to that of a violet grey color, as he started to make slightly movement showing signs of pain and unconfort, as he was distracted from his enemies one of the assassin's launched at him with the two curved unique daggers in his hands he striked him at his back but Mark was able to back filp from the location resulting in a shallow cut but that wasn't the problem, Mark knew for a fact that they are using poison  which means that their weapons are already coated in poison which means his now been affected as well, if he falls here all his future plans will end he flexed his back muscles using them to put pressure on the cut to try and stop the poison from spreading.

He dashed quickly at them realseing his killing intent, it was clear that his mission now was to survive and save Gilgamesh and then ask questions later, before he could land his sword strike on one of the assassin's to his right, a chain was launched at his leg to render him incapable of movement but his reflexes were too fast for the assassin's to predict he backed flipped launching his sword with great force and at full speed at the assassin's that threw the chain, he launched it at his blind spot but the assassin's was able to dodge it but he did not go free as the sword cut of his ear, Mark damaged one of them but this was not the time for regiousing as before he could set his foot on the floor he was attacked from his blind spot by one of them who was bearing a spear, the spear inpaled his ribs as he hung from the spear it was clear that the assassin's were victorious in this battle, as Gilgamesh the King of Chronos laid on the floor dying from both loss of blood and poisoning while Mark hung from the spear like a Dead body from a tree.

This would have probably been avoided, if Mark signaled the palace guards for help but Mark could not trust anyone in the palace with his life and with the life of his brother not of blood but of heart, he knew that if he called the palace guards or anyone from the palace it would only be adding salt to injury as they may side with the assassin's which would make their situation that much worse.

But the battle is not over yet because the Man they are fighting is far from an ordinary Man, the assassin's are a forminable foe but even they made one of the worst mistakes of battle, that is underestimating your opponent and fighting in your ememys territory, no matter how skilled an assassin is and no matter how powerful a warrior is when they make these two mistakes they are as good as Dead.

Mark hanging from the spear began to laugh in a loud voice like a mad man, as he bled his behavior was so terrifying that it put fear into the dead like eyes of the assassin's something that was near impossible.

Mark broke the spear with brute force like a bresker, Mark said.

"You bastards I commend you guys for having pushed me this far ahh"

As he pulled the broken part of the spear from his body.

"You are all fools , I recommend you start to pray to any god you worship now and forget about completing your mission causes you just woke up something you shouldn't"

The assassin's were still num at what is going on, the assassin that used the spear attached again with a kick the bottom of his Boot coated with little spikes, Mark douged the attack before the assassin's could withdrawal his foot Mark grabbed it and started crushing it with all his strength, as the sound of bones cracking filled the room the assassin's took out his sickle from his back and cut his leg off as blood poured from the injury, but Mark was a bit shocked up to the point that he said what thinking aloud.

"Such mental fortitude, to cut your own leg off and still maintain calmness, a lot of money must have really been invested into you guys, I'll ask for the last time who sent you, tell me now and I'll try to make your deaths a painless one".

But there were no response from any of them which is expected of assassin's , one of the code of assassin's are to not reveal your contractor no matter what happens even if you're on the verger of death.

Mark breath of relief and then said.

"I guess I'll have to take that route then".

As Mark took a fighter stance that of a boxer and rushed at the already injured assassin who lost his leg, he used the leg as a weapon like a beast in a forest he threw the leg at the assassin's to nock him off balance, but the assassin reached out his hand and pulled the Marks single edged blade from the wall and slashed the leg in two but never the less the leg served it purpose, as it distracted the assassin  mark grabbed his his face blocking his filled of vision, and with brute force crushed his jaw like a tomato and slammed his head into the wall completely destroying his skull and killing him.

The rest of the assassin's did not stand still, they launched their daggers attached to the chain, Mark was able to see it coming and jumped over the dagger that were incoming, the distance between him and the daggers was just a little bit, but two other assassin's attacked from up as he douged the daggers it was clear he could not douge the incoming attack so he decided to block it they punched him and he was smashed into the ground as he started bleeding internally, he jumped back up and moved towards the wall panthing as his injuries were weared him down, a hole in his rib side and internal bleeding, he looked left to right seeing that he already took one down and said.

"Well well just five more to go you better get yourself ready"

Before he could attack them the celling of the veranda shock as if something heavy was coming upon them, the celling was destroyed as a man over seven feet tall with a body built like a giant descended from above his skin colored grew he wore clothes that of an eastener his beards reached his foot with no sign of hair on his head, he wore gauntlets in each hand carrying a large hammer on his back and two curved daggers in his hands his aura was that of the devil.

Mark instinct told him to run, what he saw in front of him was an undefeatable enemy, it was death in the form of a man so much so that he could move even an inch from where he stood, the assassin's attacked Mark impaling him with their daggers before he even had time to react, Mark fell to the floor bleeding through multiple places it was clear that the end was near only a miracle could save them.

In the holy empire in an unknown location a man wearing a cloth entirely white his hands bounded by chains his eyes covered with white cloth with a cross symbol ,siting on a throne he shed tears endlessly saying

"Oh how wicked faith is, it seems we are all cursed if only we could buy more time"

The Apostle of Azirel approached from the rear saying.

"What did you see now"

In a clam tone

He responded I saw it the horrors that awaits us Genesis is upon us.
