Proceed to the plan!

In the land of Gaia, there are numerous mercenaries specializing in various tasks, including assassinations and dirty work. Among them, the most renowned organization is called Crimson Cobra. The Black Mambas are only a subsidiary of Crimson Cobra. It is rumored that the leader of Crimson Cobra has reached the level of Martial King.

The world of Gaias Land consists of five continents: Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern, and Central. Each continent has its own unique geographical features, cultures, and kingdoms. The Central Continent is often considered the most significant and influential among them.

The Alvestia Kingdom is recognized as one of the top three countries in the South East Continent, which is commonly referred to as the Eastern continent.

Crimson Cobra is based in the Central Continent, which is widely regarded as the most powerful and influential continent in the world, often referred to as the Main Continent.

Two elderly men stood in front of Andrian, each with a crimson tattoo on their face. The man with the tattoo on the right side of his face was named Yuga, a Martial Master. The man with the tattoo on the left side of his face was named Yagi, a Master Mage.

"Hahaha, sorry elders, but Andrian is indeed the strongest fighter in Alvestia," Sebastian said with a smirk on his face.

Yuga, one of the elderly men, spoke to Sebastian with a stern voice, "Stop wasting time, end it now."

"OK, ok," replied Sebastian. He then raised his hand and commanded, "Come forth, Black Mambas!"

Assassins hidden in the shadows dashed out and swiftly killed Andrian's guards. All have tattoos in their arms.

"ARGH!" cried one of the guards in pain. Andrian guards died one by one

"PROTECT THE KING AND MY FAMILY!" shouted Andrian, his voice filled with determination.

The field descended into chaos as the assassins, many of them Force Refining fighters, unleashed their attacks. Blood was shed everywhere, and the situation became dire. Shu and his friends, however, managed to dodge the incoming attacks and quickly realized they needed to escape. Shu urged his friends to run away with him, seeking safety from the unfolding chaos.

Andrian, determined to protect Shu and his friends, swiftly moved to intercept the assailants. However, he was abruptly halted by the two elders, Yuga and Yagi, who stood in his way. They blocked his path with a combination of their formidable skills, impeding his progress.

Andrian, frustrated but understanding the gravity of the situation, reluctantly halted his advance. He knew that his priority was to ensure the safety of the king and his family, as well as Shu and his friends.

Andrian swiftly engaged the assassins who were pursuing Shu and his friends. With his skilled swordsmanship and unwavering determination, he fought ferociously against the assailants, striking them down one by one. His movements were precise and lethal, leaving no room for mercy.

As the assassins closed in on Shu and his friends, Andrian stood as their shield, deflecting their attacks and swiftly counterattacking with lethal precision. His blade sliced through the air, dispatching the assailants with ruthless efficiency. Each strike was calculated and deadly, ensuring the safety of those he swore to protect.

With his unwavering focus and skill, Andrian managed to eliminate the immediate threat and create a temporary opening for Shu and his friends to escape. He fought with an intensity fueled by his dedication and duty, determined to keep them out of harm's way.

"Go! Find a safe place and stay hidden," Andrian commanded, his voice filled with urgency. "I will do everything I can to protect you."

Shu and his friends, filled with both fear and trust in Andrian, nodded in acknowledgment. They dashed away from the chaos, seeking shelter and safety.

Andrian, left to face the assassins and the two powerful elders, braced himself for the imminent battle. He knew the stakes were high, and he would give everything to fulfill his duty and protect those he cared for.

Yagi, the master mage with the crimson tattoo on his left face, channeled his power to unleash a formidable spell. He conjured a tier 4 spell called "Flame Snake," sending a powerful torrent of fiery serpents towards Andrian. The flames hissed and crackled as they approached their target with great speed and ferocity.

Sensing the imminent danger, Andrian quickly tapped into his inner strength and summoned his protective aura. The aura surrounding him shimmered and glowed, forming a formidable barrier against the incoming Flame Snake spell. As the fiery serpents collided with his aura, a burst of intense heat and light erupted, creating a powerful shockwave that rippled through the area.
