Assassination System

"Yes..."

When his mumble echoed out, everything around him froze. The rustling of trees, the explosion of dust, the vicious expression of the Lich and Charlotte's teary and worried face all came to a halt.

The whistling wind even stopped, and when he realized this fact, he was stunned to find that his body moved on its own. Both of his arms stretched outward, forming a triangle by overlapping his left palm on the back of his right hand and with both thumbs touching each other. The gap that they made formed a triangle where his body sized the Lich's figure.

A strange indescribable strength surged from his body. The power looked pitch-black and intangible yet when it appeared, it consumed all light and devoured even time itself.

Everything distorted as a small black hole, the size of the gap on both of his arms, condensed before his outstretched palm. His expression indifferent and his eyes lacked any life as he slightly opened his mouth and mumbled these foreign words.

"Mawala ka sa aking harapan!"

Upon the completion of his sentence, the black hole became a jet-black beam which instantly pierced the body of the Lich and upon impact, everything around the Lich and its body itself, deteriorated into dust as time once again, returned back to normal.

"Eh?"

The silence was broken by Charlotte's queer cry. She stared at the location where the Lich was supposed to be but when she blinked her eye, she found that the Lich has disappeared.

The undead that it controlled returned back to Earth and the restriction that enveloped the entire forest disappeared. Charlotte quickly snapped a jadeslip into two, sending a stream of information, flying back towards her father.

"Dan!"

She noticed that Dan kneeled on the ground on all fours. His mouth endlessly dripped with blood and his face looked purple as if out of blood. Dissipating the barrier before her. She ran towards him and inspected his condition.

"What did you do?!" She mumbled, her expression horrified when she realized that the meridians within Dan's body, looked mangled, some of his bones dislocated and his Dantian, empty.

If not for the fact that Dan's lifeforce continued burning in a fierce light. Charlotte would've thought that he was already dead. After all, the injuries that he suffered was very serious and not everyone could survive it.

She frowned, just how did he sustain these serious injuries when I didn't see him taking the attack of that Lich without defending himself? She felt doubtful, but she soon shook these thoughts away from her mind. The first thing that she should do right now was to disinfect his surface wounds and have him recuperate.

Taking a jade bottle from her Spatial Storage, she fed him a pill and Dan's murky consciousness somewhat solidified and he could finally see the figure of a young woman whose expression looked worried and filled with panic.

Inwardly cursing, he didn't realize that the price of activating such a powerful attack would be this serious. If not for the fact that Dan controlled the strange power at the last moment, he would've died from the backlash alone.

After overcoming the sensation of death, Dan heaved a sigh of relief, even if he sustained these serious injuries, at least, he didn't die outright and could still have a chance for life.

"Are you okay? Can you move?" Charlotte carefully blocked the gaping wounds and disinfected them with a cooling ointment which brought comfort upon Dan's body.

Dan couldn't even lift a finger much less reply. But still, the vibrant light within his eyes indicated that her treatment was working as she sighed in relief. Now that she was done with first-aid. His injuries wouldn't escalate anymore but it wouldn't also heal without proper treatment.

Standing up, she stared at the distant horizon and frowned upon seeing a black dot that approached their vicinity. Feeling the sensation of mightiness that enveloped that figure, she thought that it was her father and even waved her hands in the air.

"You idiot! That's not your father, that's the true Necromancer!" Dan utilized the remnants of his power in speaking these words amidst his gritted teeth. Staring at the blaring red system notification before him, his expression turned grave.

[WARNING: The System has detected a killing intent from a Divine Soul Practitioner, Escape is advised or die...]

These merciless words were displayed by the System but Dan bitterly smiled. Escape? How could we escape? I'm severely injured and Charlotte's Qi Reserves is not even half of her peak, even if she possessed her true strength that doesn't mean that she co-

Wait...

Escape?

Dan's expression turned brighter for a moment before he fiercely reminded, "Charlotte, hurry up! Activate that Spatial Artifact of yours before he restricts the space around us!"

Charlotte's figure shook and she broke away from her fear. Staring at the Necromancer that closed in at their direction. She resolutely, clenched her fist, bit the tip of her tongue and spat a huge glob of blood essence wherein she wiped on a small plate that she took from her Spatial Storage.

"Bastards! That's a Spatial Artifact!" The Necromancer hurriedly continued his chant, hoping that his Space Restriction Spell would catch up and prevent them from escaping.

However, before he could complete his chant, a distorted black hole enveloped the duo and they disappeared from his eyes as his mouth, gave a scream filled with anger and utmost hatred.
