The Assassin

After Alice left, Ezio stayed in the forest as he waits for the person that's been watching him this entire time.

LuLu: you got beat up really bad master.

Ezio: yeah I know, she went pretty rough on me. But at the end of the day I still got the last laugh.

They both laugh as they remember what just happened to Alice.

LuLu saw how beat up Ezio is, so she had a thought and remembered what Alice was doing before she left. She closed her wings and sat beside her master, LuLu then did the same thing as Alice and used her lap as a pillow for Ezio.

They just sat around the forest admiring the beautiful nature around them. The forest that was hell a while ago came back to how it originally was, while Ezio was sleeping on the ground Alice used her magic to repair the damage in the forest.

(After a couple of hours)

The two started walking towards their home but while on the way, they felt some presences deep in the forest. Ezio wanted to check who or what it was giving this sinister presence.

As they tried to walk closer from the source, they then heard sounds of laughter, now they got more intrigued at what these people are doing so deep in the mountains.

They then carefully walk closer towards it, while of course concealing their presence. Then the moment they got close enough by around 50 m, they can now hear them more clearly.

???: you're a disgrace to us.

???: you deserve to die, but before that tell us where it is.

???: I...I...will never…

???: you've always been the toughest one amongst us, it's gonna be hard for me to do this.

Even though he said those words, in his face is a smile that clearly shows his lust and hunger towards the fallen woman.

The guy slowly walks towards her and knelt in front of her, he then whispers something to her ear.

???: kekeke, I've always wanted to do this... should I defile you before sending you to hell.

???: you...bastard *cough* you...will...go to *cough*...hell

He was about to do the thing that would defile this beautiful woman but one of his lackeys came in running.

???: Saka-duno we've found her. Our scouts are chasing her at the moment.

Saka: ahaha you heard that Shiori!!, we've found your daughter.

As he said those words he lost his interest in the fallen woman, and kicked her away.

The reason why Shiori is in this position is that she tried to give Akeno, her daughter, time to run away. She could win a fight with these people if it's one on one, but going against ten of them at the same time would be impossible for her.

Saka: you five stay here. Do whatever ever you want with her.

All the onmyouji that was left behind had the same smile as him from before, all with lust for the beautiful woman.

???: ….Ak..eno...

******

Ezio: could it really be..

LuLu: master??

LuLu has never seen Ezio look this serious, and without noticing he has stopped concealing his presence and is releasing a heavy aura around him.

The five people that were laughing a while ago felt the heavy pressure that was directed to them.

???: what is this?!! Such as strong aura….

???: who's in there!!

???: show ur self!!!

Ezio turned his face at LuLu with a confidence look. He knew that he could take care of these low life people.

Ezio: LuLu survey the area and find the rest of them, signal me when you've found the rest of them. I'll just deal with these people here.

LuLu: O..Ok.. master… be careful…

LuLu doesn't know what was going on but she knows that Ezio can take care of these guys, therefore she did what Ezio asked her to do.

Ezio had notifications in his system but at the moment he didn't dare to check as he is focused on what's in front of him.

Ezio started to walk towards the five people who were outside of an old lamber house.

When they felt the presence getting close they sent talisman towards it. One of the talisman became a fire javelin, the other one became a thunder, the other one became a water dog.

Ezio saw all their attacks as it was very slow for him, these attacks are nothing compared to what Alice could do. So for him this are just basic sh*t.

Ezio: such weaklings..

He caught one of the talisman and slowly burned it with his fire. Both his hands are now covered in black flame, hellfire.

After they sent those attacks Ezio concealed his presence again making them believe that they succeeded in killing Ezio.

Onmyouji 1: did we kill it. What was that all about.

Onmyouji 2: hey you check that thing.

Onmyouji 3 it was probably a beast or something.

Onmyouji2: just go and check, make sure it's dead.

Onmyouji 1: that scared me for a bit *huff*

He slowly walked towards the bush, with his talisman ready to attack.

Ezio was just hiding inside the bush, waiting for the right moment to attack. And when he's target, the onmyouji, got close enough *swoosh* a quick sound was heard and everything became silent.

Ezio perform a quick and clean assassination without anybody knowing there was someone there.

Onmyouji 3: *ahhk*ahhk *cough*

Onmyouji 2: hey what are you doing, is it dead!!

The onmyouji that was checking the bush was stabbed by Ezio in just seconds, he didn't even realize what had just happened, the last thing he saw was a hand going towards him.

When he heard the call of his clansmen he followed it, that is the only thing his brain can process as it slowly shuts down. He turned around and looked towards them and when the others had seen his state, they ready themselves to attack.

A wooden branch that is about 6in long and 2in wide is stuck in the onmyouji's throat going upward, it must have hit a part of his brain as his eyes and ears slowly start bleeding.

Just seconds later the body fell down at the ground, as a sign that the body is now lifeless. That was not the end though, as the wood that was in his head started to lit on fire and burned the whole body of the dead men, until it turns into ashes.

Onmyouji: WHAT THE F*CK!!!
