Crimson Overlord

While their master was having his fun outside, he ordered the girls to visit the gang to see if everything was fine.

And now they were going back after talking with Katherina. Amber and Lilith decided to walk around for a while before returning to the academy.

The two had gotten close enough even to joke. Amber told Lilith a joke which made the usual cold beauty laugh; however, suddenly, their sharp senses caught sight of something, and they immediately jumped from where they stood.

A black dagger landed where they were, and the ground melted. It was not a normal dagger, a dagger coated in poison, a deadly poison.

Amber was so furious that she started emitting killing intent; someone dared to disturb her peaceful moment with her sister. Whoever they are, they must have a death wish; she could roughly sense a few enemies lurking in the dark.

When she glanced at Lilith, she saw her relaxed expression; there was no hint of fear on her face; on the contrary, it seemed like what she had been waiting for had come.

Looking into the dark alley, Lilith declared with a long sigh.

”I was wondering when you will appear, but finally, you are here. It took you long enough.”

Amber’s eyes widened; even though she thought something like this would happen, she had not thought it would be this soon. Assassins were after them.

”However, did you think it will be easy with your number?”

Just after she said those words, she disappeared, unbeknownst to the assassins hiding, thinking he couldn’t spot them; she was already aware of their position, thanks to her sharp sense, more accurate than Amber’s sense.

Like the God of assassins, Lilith appeared behind one of the assassins, startling the latter to death.

”What? H-”

He didn’t even finish talking before his head left his body and danced in the air. Blood spurted from the headless body like a fountain.

Lilith didn’t wait; she had already disappeared from there, so no blood landed on her. The remaining assassins quickly moved; three launched their deadly blades at her.

Those blades were too fast; kicking the ground, she did a backflip dodging the blades; once in the air with her head towards the ground, she extended both her hands and daggers appeared inside them.

Spinning in the air, she shot those daggers at the assassins like a bullet; they tore through the air at sonic speed, piercing two unlucky assassins. Life slowly left their eyes, and until the end, they still could not understand how Lilith’s reaction could be this fast; it was like she had perfect control over her body; she even located them. They may be weak compared to the others; however, never would they have thought of dying so quickly in front of the target at the same level as them. Her level should be around peak level 5, but the strength she displayed was far more terrific than normal level 4.

Fear assaulted the remaining assassins, not even two minutes had passed, and they lost three men. Two of them charged toward Amber, standing there blankly as if not understanding what was happening.

‘This one is just a pretty flower. We will capture her to threaten that monster. She is just a weak level 6 origin master.’ Thought the two assassins.

They were too focused on their fantasy to notice Amber secretly smirking, while Lilith ignored them and concentrated all her attention on the last assassins. Unlike others whose levels were lower than level 4, this one was stronger; he should be a level 4 origin master, a weak level 4 origin master.

Both were vigilantly staring at each other.

Meanwhile, just as the two assassins neared Amber, who had her face down and was trembling like a boat in the middle of a storm, she suddenly burst into a peal of laughter.

”Pft! Hahaha! I can’t anymore. Pretending to be weak is too hard. Hahahaha!”

It was like Amber had turned into a different person.

‘Shit.’

Muttered the assassin before a fist covered in red flame connected to his nose, breaking it; like a ragdoll, he was sent flying. Even though the second assassin was surprised by this unexpected situation, he decided to continue.

Amber lowered her body until she almost touched the ground; the second assassin blade passed over her head.

Surprised by this unexpected move, the assassin was almost caught off guard; he quickly crossed his arms to block Amber’s kick.

She sent a kick toward the assassin, pushing him back before flipping her body up using her hands.

Bang!

Because of what she was wearing, her underwear became visible as she jumped into the air, but she cared not about something like that because the enemies were attacking.

Amber summoned a sword from her space ring and used it to block the first assassin blade; somehow, he had recovered. Using her free hand, she shot a fire beam at the assassin.

The light beam was too fast and came from a tricky angle; hence the assassin couldn’t avoid it; it pierced his left thigh, stopping his movement.

Sensing the second assassin’s incoming attack, Amber chuckled because kicking the first assassin, but he dodged. To his surprise, it was exactly what Amber had been aiming for; she used that leg to drag the first assassin toward the incoming attack.

She sidestepped enough to let the second assassin pass her body. Everything happened too fast; both assassins didn’t expect such a move, and as such, their reactions got delayed. The first assassin shifted his blade to the opposite side to not injure his colleague; he tried shifting his body; however, it was already too late, and both assassins collided headfirst.

They got momentarily dazed because of the concussion their brains received.

And how could Amber let go of such a perfect chance to finish them off?

”Blood Arts: Bloody Sword!”

Amber’s sword was covered in a red glow before she threw it toward the assassins like a spear; the sword covered in red aura tore through the air like a snake trying to swallow its prey.

The leader of this group of assassins wanted to move to save his men; however, he couldn’t move as Lilith locked him in place with her killing intent. He couldn’t only watch helplessly as his men were going to die.

At the last moment, the first assassin used his colleague’s body as a meat shield to avoid certain death. Even so, he was blasted back as the red aura surrounding the sword exploded after piercing through the second assassin’s body. The body exploded, covering the injured assassin in gore and blood; he lay on the ground puking blood.

Sensing Amber slowly approach him, he knew his death had come. Glaring at the angelic-looking woman who played the rabbit to lure them into a trap, the assassin cursed.

”You will die a horrible death, you bitch.”

Amber wasn’t offended by the rude words; she was even smiling.

”For an assassin, you talk too much.”

She then brought down her leg; she aimed it toward the assassin’s head; she was trying to squash the latter head into pulp; however, suddenly, Amber stopped.

”Hahahahaha!!!”

While the sound of mad laughter could be heard, it came from the assassin lying on the ground.

”Haha, cough- cough. Die you bitch; it’s what you get for underestimating your enemy.”

The assassin was waiting for Amber’s body to fall to the ground.

However, no matter how much he waited, nothing happened. It was then he noticed that something was amiss.

His leader sighed while Lilith chuckled; the assassin had underestimated Amber too much. The moment he fired that poisonous needle at her because he thought that she would have let her guard down as she was trying to finish a dying man; however, Lilith, whose side job was as an assassin, used to tell her never to let her guard down before an assassin. Assassins are more deadly when dying.

Even when you thought you had their back against the hall after a deadly strike, it is at that moment an assassin would be the most dangerous. So, she had never let her guard down because the assassin was at death’s door.

”Big sister, I’ll be taking this one with him, and I will let you deal with the leader,” Amber said before breaking the assassin’s limbs and dragging him into a dark alley.

”Sure, enjoy your meal,” Lilith said before looking at the leader of the assassins; the latter was confused; he felt like the information they received was wrong. Not only were the targets stronger there was that odd feeling coming from them as if there weren’t normal.

As a veteran assassin who had taken countless missions and assassinated many people, he had always relied on his instinct. His instinct told him to run for his life, aborting this mission.

”!!!!!!!!!!!”

His subordinate inhumane cry further confirmed this feeling, and without hesitation, he turned tail and ran.

However, Lilith, who should have been behind him, appeared in front of him, and her red eyes shone; when he saw that red luster and her command, the leader’s body refused to listen to his command.

”Stop!”

”You are my prey.” Lilith declared before her fangs lengthened.

It had been a long time since she tasted blood; while the quality would not be high, it was still blood, and it would be delicious. The leader died from fear even before he had all of his blood sucked and his body turned into a bag of bones. The leader’s last thought was that the blood-sucking race was back.
