Rise of the Crusader

59 The Takeover III

“Command me, mistress!” The assassin uttered in a decisive tone.

And as he stared at Aliyah, the expression which he had on his face was filled with worship, adoration, and respect.

Aliyah waved her hand, and the assassin immediately leaped to his feet. “Kill all those who invaded the house.” Aliyah stated with a light frown on her face.

“Yes, mistress!”

Once Aliyah’s voice rang out, the assassin didn’t waste any time whatsoever, and he immediately dashed out. He moved about the main house, and any of his colleagues he encountered were slaughtered, just as ordered.

The other assassins the man encountered were oblivious to what had just occurred, and a few of them let their guards down, seeing that it was one of their own. It was only after the man struck his brass knuckle into them, that they realized that something was wrong.

However, it was too late, as the brass knuckle that the man had on was laced with a deadly poison. Once the brass knuckle made contact with a human body, the poison would spread very quickly, and within a matter of seconds, the heart would stop beating.

Meanwhile, after Aliyah had enslaved the man, she left the room as well. As for Raphael, he remained in that position with a bewildered expression on his face.

“Wheewww! Thank goodness, I made no advances toward her... I would have become a puppet.” It was Sebastian that spoke. He then scratched his hand and heaved a deep breath of relief.

.....

Kayla’s eyes twitched, when she witnessed the scene of the man going on his knees, and seeing how he rushed out after hearing Aliyah’s command, she couldn’t help but gulp.

PEW!

As Aliyah focused on the two other living quarters, Dwayne dealt with the remaining three.

Dwayne’s skill in his weapon was so stunning that he didn’t miss any of his targets, and those who were punctured by his arrows exploded into pieces.

Their bodies were scattered all over the compounds, and the other areas in the house.

BOOM!

The assassins in the area had considered Dwayne to be at a huge threat level, and most of them chose to place their attention on him, while the other sneaked into the main house.

In the battle between Dwayne and the assassins, apart from his unnatural skill in bow and arrow, Dwayne’s other advantage came from the fact that the arrows in this quiver were numerous.

The academy had created the quiver in such a way that Dwayne was able to stick up to three hundred arrows in there, and if he pleases the number could as well go up to five hundred. So, Dwayne just kept shooting the arrows in his quiver without having to worry about it becoming empty.

“I will take care of him, you go deal with the rest. And find me, Kayla Winchester!!!!!!” One of the assassins with a rather lanky build appeared a few meters away from Dwayne.

Once the assassin spoke, the others who were in the area immediately vanished from the surrounding, leaving only Dwayne and the assassin known as the head hunter.

Dwayne had one of his hands on his bow and the other on his arrow. He simply had to let go of his right hand and the arrow would launch right at the assassin in front of him.

The assassin suddenly brought a black long sword from his side, he also then assumed a battle stance. “The name is head hunter!” With that said, and he moved.

Meanwhile, Dwayne’s eyes twitched, and his mouth opened slightly, as when the assassin moved, it was as though he disappeared.

Dwayne was however able to keep his composure and continue to scan the surrounding.

SLASH!

Suddenly, the assassin who referred to himself as head hunter appeared in front of Dwayne. As head hunter appeared, he brought forth a sword and then aimed it at Dwayne’s throat immediately.

Dwayne reacted very quickly and before the sword could drill through his throat, he moved his body to his left. And after that movement, Dwayne used the bow to hit the assassin on his face at full force.

And as the assassin staggered several steps backward, with the mask on his face also breaking from the hit, Dwayne shoot an arrow at him immediately.

The arrow was about to hit its target when the assassin disappeared once again.

“I won’t miss next.” The assassin’s cold voice rang out.

Dwayne began to scan the whole surrounding once again, however, after a few seconds, he lowered the bow and arrow and then heaved a deep breath.

The assassin’s ability to vanish from the surrounding was a little problematic for Dwayne, as if he hadn’t moved very quickly, he would have already been on the ground already.

Dwayne was certain that the assassin’s ability to vanish from the area wasn’t some invincibility ability or something, instead, it was likely going to be an inaudible movement.

A few seconds after Dwayne shut his eyes closed, he opened them. Dwayne raised his bow slightly, and suddenly, he turned to his left and shot an arrow.

PEW! PEW!

Dwayne didn’t stop at just one arrow, as a second after he fired the first arrow, he quickly took another one from his quiver and then fired it once again. The direction in which he aimed at was the same as his first shot.

After the two arrows were fired, Dwayne brought three out and shot them all together, still in the same direction. It was only after Dwayne had delivered the third round of arrows that he lowered his bow, and a second after a man whose body was covered in arrows appeared.

“Y-You...” With blood oozing out of his eyes, the assassin stuttered as he pointed his finger at Dwayne.

The assassin had two arrows embedded in both of his eyes, and three more on his body. The black sword he was holding onto dropped to the ground, and after staggering for a couple of seconds, he fell to the ground.

Dwayne merely glanced at the assassin for a brief moment, before moving his gaze and then moving on to the next target.

While Dwayne covered the compound and the three living quarters with his arrows, Raphael decorated the room with skeletons, along with a couple of other bodies that were in the process of fully decaying.

And as for Aliyah, she led an army of assassins who were under her command.

The three of them kept on dealing with the assassin all around the house, and it was only after a while that one of them returned to the main house.

“Hmm” As Dwayne glimpsed upon the skeletons and bodies which were on the floor, his eyebrows furrowed.

Dwayne raised his head, and saw Raphael sitting on a desk cross-legged, while a blue owl with a blue cape around its neck walked all around the room.

“That was fast.” Raphael mumbled as he stared at his wristwatch when Dwayne appeared.

“It’s not over yet, they are still more of them coming,” Dwayne responded. Dwayne then shifted his gaze to the other side, and as he saw Sebastian, he glanced back at Raphael.

Sebastian sat on the ground with his hands around his leg, and his body was trembling violently. There was terror written evidently on his face, almost as though he were battling his inner demons.

Raphael kept a straight face when he saw Dwayne looking at him. As for Kayla, she was perhaps the most relaxed person in the room.

Kayla was still on the desk, and this time around she was watching the surveillance video of what was going on inside the other living quarters all at once. “This third teammate of yours is really powerful!!!” Kayla exclaimed.

“She has made over twenty of them her slaves... Look at them killing each other,” Kayla said, turning the system for Raphael and Dwayne to take a look at what was going on in the captain’s cottage.

Raphael and Dwayne maintained a neutral expression when they saw how Aliyah was in complete control over the assassins and had them kill their mates.

Aliyah didn’t entirely enslave all the assassins in the house, she placed her focus mainly on the stronger ones among them, and as for the weaker ones, she killed them.

“You stay here... My hand is a little itchy.” Dwayne was about to use another one of his grabbing hook arrows when Raphael’s voice rang out.

Raphael then didn’t wait for Dwayne to react, and he immediately leaped out of the window. As soon as Raphael made a move, Gus abruptly halted its patrol around the room and flew to Raphael immediately.

“Curhh!”

A few seconds after Raphael left the main house, he turned towards Gus who was on his shoulder, and said, “You can kill them if you’d like, I’m not going to stop you.”

There was a different kind of glow on Gus’s face when Raphael spoke. Gus then stared hard at Raphael, and after receiving another nod from Raphael, Gus dashed forward.

Raphael and Gus soon went their separate ways and when Raphael came across one of the assassins, he cracked his knuckles.

“This will be fun.”

With that said, and Raphael launched himself at the assassin. Raphael’s movement was so fast that before the assassin could realize what was going on, Raphael had appeared by his side.
