[Somewhere Far far away]

 

In an Icy frigid place there is a hidden fortress deep within where hundreds and thousands of assassins were being trained to the arts of the silent killers.

 

There a ceremony is being held in front of a gloomy dark temple where thousands of cloaked individuals kneeled and prayed to their deity.

 

 

"Tonight! We will welcome our brothers and sisters in the worship and devotion towards our God, Orton, the God of chaos, Sins, Pain, Terror and every other dark desires of the mortal world! They will join us in the mission to spread chaos and pain all over the world!" a tall hunched figure with long embroidered robes preached in the podium.

 

"For these thousands of our brothers and sisters be the one to bring the vision our divine God has dreamed of! Oh God Orton! These seeds are the fruits of years of training and guidance blessed by you and they will usher the world into the darkness it was born with and shall return into your eternal embrace…" the hunched figure preached while dozens of figures watched from the insides of the large cathedral.

 

They looked over to the result of their years of nurture and training. These young Assassins were the best of the best, taken from various parts of the world to deliver the plan to its success.

 

"Hehehe… two decades of culling and taking out the useless ones we now have talents that are going to bring the Ortonese to claim the world as our own." An old lady looked over while sipping wine from a chalice.

 

"Sons, daughters as well as orphans who have been blessed with great talents brought in one place. Out of a million we now have ten thousand polished diamonds ready to drown themselves in blood." an old man with a beard as long as his body said as he looked over the ceremony.

 

"For Orton we will bring this world to his embrace, the world shall tremble upon his name and feel the touch of darkness descend taking all of us into eternal blissful rest." a seductive bodies woman giggled as she looked at her companions who was also satisfied at the result of their decades of hard work, she then pierced something on a plate with a fork then brought that into her veil covered face.

 

There a long tongue slithered out to eat the thing on the fork, which was an eyeball still twitching about as it was brought towards the mouth hidden by the veil.

 

"The weakest is a -B-ranked who could take down A-ranks with preparations and the best are ++A-ranks who only lacks the quality of their magic and aura to reach the next threshold." A middle aged man who was pale as the deathly snow with red eyes said as he looked indifferently towards the young blood taking their oaths.

 

"Hmm…" a figure that seemed to have been covered with bandages looked over inside the cathedral where a portal was being opened.

 

"That's Rosche's token being opened, what kind of enemy is he facing that he needed to use his token to…" the old lady said before a bright flash of light passed by from the portal. But for the five on the top of the cathedral they were able to see the short spear slightly before all hell broke loose.

 

 

*BOOOM!!*

*CRACKADUM!*

*DOOM!*

 

A massive force pierced through from the back of the large church through its front where the thousands of inductees were about to enter to make their oaths to their God.

 

The eyes of the five on top widened as they saw the crushing force that instantly evaporated the ones in front of the church as their senses were much better than the others.

 

They watched in horror as their years of work vanish before their eyes, all of them jumped down as fast as they could to try and save those below but the force behind the short spear was much more faster and formidable.

 

The pale middle aged man's eyes became bloodshot as he exuded red aura to the best that he could. He charged first head on the front of the short spear and blocked it with his arms that became crimson as it got coated with blood-like substance.

 

"RAGHHHCK!!" the man used all his strength to block but he was still push back with much force that those behind him still died at the shockwaves.

 

But this slowed down the spear enough for the other four to arrive and help him push back the spear. It took a few seconds of their full power to finally be able to stop the destruction.

 

Yet when the smoke cleared those that were still alive saw the five Great Elders looking disheveled as they stood in line while looking down on a spear that got broken to many pieces.

 

"Hah!" the five Great Elders panted as they trembled at the force behind the attack.

 

"!" the one with bandages all over suddenly looked around and was horrified.

 

"NOO!!!" the long bearded man kneeled besides a corpse that was only the chest up of a person. The Great elders looked around and saw the devastation that the one attack had done to their church.

 

"T-this can't be…" the albino middle aged man trembled as he watched the ones that are left.

 

"Your arms…" the sexy woman who now looked worn out said as she looked at her colleague. This made the other great elders turn around and saw that the man now has no arms up to the elbows.

 

"Urghk!" the middle aged man then puked blood as he finally felt the damage done within his body.

 

"Lie still…" the walking mummy appeared near his colleague and started controlling the bandage on his body to wrap around the wounded parts of the albino man.

 

"W-who…why? How?" the old woman saw that out of the ten thousand talents they have raised, only eight hundred were left. More than half of their top talents were also killed and one of those was the grandson of the other great Elder who is now mourning on the side.

 

"An attack that needed three Saints and two Sages to stop, who could have such strength…" the seductive Lady slumped as she saw years of the churches resources turned to dust in a blink of an eye.

 

"NOO!! WHY!! NOT HIM!!" the long bearded Elder screamed and this time hundreds of men and women arrived as they had felt the explosion from far away.

 

They too were shocked as the ceremony had now become a field of death and they could not understand why. The middle aged albino kneeled besides the broken spear parts and stayed like that for a while.

 

"Rosche, there is no sign of him…" the bandaged man said as he had already helped those in critical condition.

 

"Did he betray us?" the old lady murmured as she looked at her fellows.

 

"No, he's here." The long bearded man said as he calmed himself down then pointed to a tree by the side, there they saw the shocked face of the Elder.

 

"He went to kill that sister of the Emperor of Solesinese didn't he?" the curvy woman walked towards the head and pulled it out of the branch it was stuck in.

 

"Last I heard he was going to the Wildlands…" the old lady said as this made the Great Elders look at each other except for the albino dude.

 

"Oh Lord Orton, your darkness bless me and let me peer into the last thought of death. Let abyss look back and search this soul, let deathly woes scream out and show!" the lady chanted and a spell circle formed burrowing into the still twitching head of Rosche.

 

A man's brain is still active even minutes after his head is cut off, so as the spell ravaged the mind of Rosche who still felt everything. The pain and crawling feeling under his skin, his face then showed agony as his eyes shone purple and light flashed out.

 

There an image formed just before Rosche was killed, but all that showed as a golden warrior throwing a spear made of golden light and the image suddenly broke.

 

"T-that… who was that?" the curvy lady gasped as she felt the pressure of death when the spear was thrown making her lose focus in her spell.

 

Even the other Great Elders and Elders that arrived were sweating as the second hand pressure seemed to have been felt by all of them.

 

"Is it true? The rumors… the tales that a great being is sealed within the Wildlands…"the old woman murmured as she felt the danger from the attack that seemed to have been a split second.

 

"Whatever that is, I will have my revenge…" the old man with the long beard said as he etched to image of Marc in his head, even when the image was not so clear.

 

Unbeknownst to Marc, he had stopped a global war from happening due to his curiosity of using everything he has with a simple spear throw.
