NIGHT OF SWALLOWING SNAKE

Chapter: twenty-three: Night of the Swallowing snake

Number Five P.O.V

To think those idiots would speed up the assassination so quickly. Well, they are paying us and it's our job to finish them.

"(Puppet style: crawling spider)." I say summoning a dark blue spider around four feet tall. 

I get on it then use it to slowly climb up to the room of my target. Upon reaching my target room, I see them sleeping, bingo. 

"(Spider ray)." Within a second the spider opens its mouth and fires off a giant beam of energy destroying the target and the room. Leaving only dust.

Target one destroyed. For some odd reason, I feel the aura in the air building up and hear a weird whistling sound. Finally realizing what's happening I jump off the spider quickly.

"(Puppet style: soaring hawk)." Before I could fall a red and white hawk catches me out of the sky and brings me higher up in the sky.

"What a shame you dodged it. Oh well, this means more fun time for me." 

Flying in the air wearing a blue and orange Hawaiian shirt and blue shirts along with two shade glasses is the worst person I could meet. 

Kaboom! Behind me even more of the building goes flying apart due to the attack of this monster before me.

"(Hawk dance)!" Unleashing my attack on him I send the hawk towards him at blinding its speed instead of dodging he just smiles. Well if he won't dodge then I will just have to run him over! 

Crack! 

I heard, almost like glass shattering. I turn towards him and see a bunch of transparent barriers around him and I was only able to slightly damage the furthest one from him. 

"Is that all you can do if so how sad, I'm a bit riled up since I've met my destined rival again today so I may not go easy. Let's start with a simple swing of my hand (infinite: amplification)." 

He simple swings his hands but for some reason, I feel like I'm in the middle of a hurricane as I'm flung to the ground. My head gets slammed into the concrete and I hear an audible crack meanwhile the hawk I summoned has been ripped to shreds due to taking the brunt force of the attack.

"You survived how great, how wonderful now it's your turn hit me, hit me, hurt me, destroy me!" The rumours are true he is truly a crazy bastard and enjoys fighting.

I didn't want to use this ability but I have to or else I won't make it. 

"Puppet style: Marching Dragon!!!" I shout and puff in a big cloud of smoke that comes out a red western dragon with four gold wings and red horns. 

"Oh my I see, so your an Alphian mana beast tamer, interesting I've never fought one of you before." 

"(Dragon roar)" Not giving the monster anytime to talk I have the dragon to unleash a massive quantity of flames on him while I run towards Number three. 

"Ah that's hot, just kidding (infinite world: Ice age)!" 

This is his famous ability where he traps his opponent in a separate dimension. The only known way to escape is to Have more aura than him or have the ability to escape.

"(Puppet style: swap)!" I say clapping my hands together and despite being heavily destroyed I was able to barely get away using the spider. I've lost the spider and the hawk during this fight and now the dragon.

"(Puppet style: self-destruction)" With that the entire courtyard gets bright and with a massive boom everything goes into flames.

"I wonder how the others are doing." I say placing my hands in my pocket begin to walk away.

For some odd reason, I fall to the ground. How did I fall to the ground? Did I ran out of aura, that can't be possible. What's this sensation? Why can't I feel my legs?

"( infinite: amplification)"

Number nine P.O.V

Ten minutes before Grandmaster arrives.

"Remember that we have at least 20 minutes before Grandmaster returns from fighting off the Flock." The person who is speaking now is my superior called Number three, he's quite mysterious since despite working together for more than ten years I've never seen his face.

"To think they would sell out their allies like that, that's why I don't trust the mob." Number five says. Despite possessing a higher number than me he's the youngest of the three of us.

"It doesn't matter, besides its reasons like that is why we get paid." I say taking out a cigarette from my pocket. 

"No smoking, it will give away your scent. It's time to go remember never commit to fighting anyone." Number three says disappearing right in front of us.

It's go time, I put on a tiger white mask. Then place a silencer on my pistol.

I begin to run towards our target at superhuman speed. Standing at the gate is two men armed with rifles I then take aim then fire. Like that two men are out although not targets, who cares.

I then approach the guards searching them and taking their pistols. I begin my slowly walk my target. 

On the way, their two more guards appear and I make short work of them. Finally, I reach my target's destination I take off the silencer push open the door then with guns in my hands I begin to unload on everything and anything in the room. 

"That's my job done, let's see fifteen minutes left until Grandmaster appears here." Well, it may time to leave then.

As I begin to walk through the hallway I see someone dressed in a plain shirt and jeans walk towards me. I point my gun and fire. I missed for a strange reason. I jump to the right dodging something was thrown from him I'm sure about how he's the famed blitz. He shouldn't be here, what about their Godfather. 

"I can't believe boss was right you guys would show up, now I owe him ten million dollars, hey pink hair girl can I borrow ten million dollars from you I will pay you back."  What is he talking about has he gone crazy.

No now not the time to think about it, I should use this opportunity to escape. 

"Sorry I don't carry money on me, but I can give it to you once I'm back home." I say with a flirtatious look on my face.

"Really that's sad then (Time acceleration)." 

His body explodes with electricity and he disappears before my eyes, I duck immediately and I can feel a heavy breeze above my head. I roll backwards again dodging another strike. I quickly stand up then fire a round of bullets until the gun is empty. Unfortunately, they still miss. So this is his codex Quick Flash.

"Oh my your quite skilled but using guns are useless." He disappears once again then he appears right beside me forcing me to block a strike from him. I immediately use that opportunity to grab him and sweep his legs away then go into a choke with my legs. That was the point at least until he managed to somehow slip through my legs. 

"Oh my you're quite dangerous." he says trying to kick me but like many time before he misses.

We both roll away from each other then stand up and get into a fighting stance. I take the first strike going for a low jab he blocks it with his arm then he goes for a high knee but despite my weird position I was able to dodge again.

"I finally realize how you're blocking my attacks despite not being able to normally. Future sight isn't it? How annoying but I got a solution ( time acceleration: human bullet)." Once again he disappears this time I feel a violent breeze beside me. 

"This ability has a strange property to it, unlike with my other abilities it doesn't just faze me through people. Question how long can you dodge me before I hit you!" 

That crazy son of a bitch if he actually does that I'm going to. . .

"(Bullet time), if it was anyone else I would have tried to run away but running is pointless in front of you. Why am I even telling you this, you can't hear me." 

Due to my ability, the once super speedy Blitz is stopped in time like he's frozen although that's technically not true. I approach him to place my hands on his shoulder then a black aura exit my body then enters him.

"(Bullet time over)." I say falling on the ground covered in sweat.

"That's weird did you stop time, no if you did it wouldn't work on me. Well, it doesn't matter." 

This is it, first number ten now me probably number five as well. Well, you live by the sword you die by the sword.

Number Three P.O.V.

This is a stupid dangerous mission I told my boss. Many times before, if Hades was there then many powerful people would follow along too. Hold and behold now I'm crawling through a mansion with Grandmaster soon to be here.

At least with my codex, I can't be spotted. To describe it, it's like being in a different dimension filled with many doors and people are made of balls of light.

As I open the last door I enter the place where my target is. How funny would it be if I exit my dimension. I'm not that stupid though, I extend my hands to the ball then crush it. If only killing codex users were that simple.

Wait what's this sensation, normal humans don't just disappear after death. Don't tell me this was a trap, no way.

"( Reveal the unseen)." I say then a white wall of aura covers the entrance place. Unsurprisingly for me, this place is covered with illusions,  the only people in this place are the guards, my allies and members of Ouroboros. 

"That's odd my illusion was destroyed but by whom." A little girl says entering the building where I am. 

She is wearing a white hoodie filled with snake patterns on it and a black skirt with knee-high socks. In her hand is a strange cube that's bright.

"Well it would seem that my precaution was necessary, Death Thirteen is truly dangerous." Despite having the ability to sneak attack her I choose not to why? Because my ability doesn't work on codex users at least the destruction part.

I then open a different door then begin my journey back home. The boss will be mad but what can I do you live by the sword you die by the sword.

Grandmaster P.O.V.

To think my time with my rival has been cut short, the fight with Death Thirteen wasn't enough I need more. I know, why don't I take out my frustration on the Vennetti family, I'm sure my clients won't be mad. 

"Blitz protects False Life, maybe the other member of Death Thirteen is still here, (infinite world: Airwalk)." I say flying away even destroying the roof. 

I take out a bullet out of my pocket and begin to fiddle around with it.

"I can't wait for the auction, not only Hades my rival will be there but also that bastard King!" Yes, I can feel my heart racing I can't wait for this auction. 

Finally, I see the Vennetti mansion below me probably sensing my approach the area is frantic but it doesn't matter anymore.

"(Infinite: amplification)!" I say launching the bullet towards them it begins picking up speed and like a god sent meteorite it begins to descend on the unfortunate heathens. 

Boom! Like a star in the sky, everything lights up. Smoke begins to raise up, the sweet smell of burning corpse begins to fill the air and after a minute the only thing that remains is a hundred meters deep hole. 

"This is my gift to you Hades, see you at the auction!!!!!!!!"
