1077: A Punch on The Face Put an Assassin on His Place

A Punch on The Face Put an Assassin on His Place

"Damn… That's so cool." Isaac looked at the stone dragon that was made of numerous pebbles. It seemed Mark had been practicing his control this whole time as the wind ability he used required good control.2

Theo must have inspired him to train his Control over any other Five Aspects.

"Motion Law…" Isaac smirked and played a bit with some stones. "I reinforced some random stones among those… it should be strong and random enough to hit them."

Mark nodded with a smile as he pushed forward, shooting that great gale and stones toward the assassins.

"Not good!" The three magicians came forward and set a huge wall to block it.

The wind and stones struck their walls, but some stones that Isaac reinforced pierced through their walls and hit five of them. And two of them were hit in the vital area.

"Gah!" They dropped to the ground while spurting a lot of blood.

"Damn. I want that kind of overpowered ability too." Isaac smiled.

"I want your unique ability," Mark replied as he was also envious of Isaac's unique ability. Just like Theo, he could think of many ways to use it as an offensive ability.

"Alright. I should stop hiding my trump card too." Isaac smirked as he suddenly took out two gloves reinforced with some metals. This was also the equipment from the Star Group that Theo bought from them.

'A glove?' Mark was distracted for a split second due to the surprise of Isaac's trump card.

"!!!" And one assassin realized that gap as he erupted his flame on his boots, launching himself past Mark.

"Shit!" Mark gritted his teeth and saw the assassin passing him. "Isaac!"

Isaac saw the assassin that suddenly changed his attack pattern with his flame, allowing him to move unpredictably. As a support, Isaac shouldn't be able to follow this swift and unpredictable movement.

However, what Isaac did was smile.

This scene reminded him of the training he had endured for the last few months.

At that time, he was sitting on the ground after exhausting all his Magic Power. He panted while asking, "I can't do this anymore. This is too harsh for me… I just want money to lead a lavish life. Mr. Felix… Come on, Joker is not here. Can you cut some slack?"

Felix looked at him with his stone face as he rejected the idea without hesitation. "No. I have promised him to train you so that your body can handle the enemy."

"But I'm just a support. My ability relies on my unique skills. My position is on the back, so the enemies won't come at me."

"It's clear that you're going to be the weakness of the party and will be targeted no matter where you go. Yet, you still dare to claim that you don't want to train your body?"

"I…" Isaac truly had no words to refute him.

"Training Martial Arts will take a long time for you. So, I'm not teaching you anything… I just want to polish your instinct and eyes so that you can follow your enemy's movement. Using that unique ability of yours and that glove, it should be enough to occupy them for some time or even land a blow… That's why I don't ask much. Don't complain and keep training… Don't disappoint him." Felix stated with a great conviction.

After his daughter was cursed, his world lost its color, turning into a black and white world. And Theo dared to risk his life and turned it back to the colorful world he saw before.

He would do anything to repay him. And there was no way he would hold back in fulfilling his task.

"So, come!" He stated, raising his killing intent as if forcing Isaac to go at him again.

Isaac was stunned at that time, not because of his power or killing intent, but his feeling toward Theo. It somehow gave him some energy to continue.

Remembering that scene truly put a smile on his face.

"Die!" The assassin finally reached him while enveloping his blade with flame, using enough hit to melt and slash the enemy at the same time. One slash should be enough to incapacitate Isaac and he wouldn't waste this chance.

"Mr. Felix is far faster than you!" However, Isaac shouted as he managed to follow the assassin's movement and punched his blade. The metal in the glove struck the blade. Normally, Isaac would feel hurt, but he had applied the second motion law to his punch, allowing him to increase his speed as well as power.

'I can't overpower him? No, he's… overpowering me?' The assassin widened his eyes as his blade was gradually pushed back until it touched his body.

At that moment, the glove slipped past the blade as the punch struck the assassin's face, cracking his skull and blowing him away.

"Hahaha. Get rekt!" Isaac laughed before realizing something. Because he slipped past the blade, the flame reached his clothes and started burning his sleeve. "Ah, hot, hot, hot!"

He immediately slapped the fire a few times until it was gone.

"…" Mark fell silent as he was also embarrassed. Although Isaac's ability was unique and cool, his personality made him like a joke. Still, it didn't change the fact that Isaac was one of the top ten experts.

"Still, good job." Mark smirked.

"I love that you're talking more, Mark. You always shut your mouth when Joker is around. I know that you have some friction with him, but he won't pick you for that petty reason. Just relax a bit." Isaac smiled while raising both hands, preparing to fight more.

"…" Mark was startled by his statement before a smile appeared on his face. "I will try."

As they had a good time with their little chat, the battlefield was shaken once again.

*Rumble!*

*Rumble!*

*Boom!*

Suddenly, a huge blue light shone from above. It was only for a split second, but the rock above the cliff suddenly slid down. Each cliff was destroyed at the same time, and the cut was so clean that it slid down simultaneously, resulting in both sides hitting each other and stopping.

The rocks became a roof on top of their heads. It expanded for at least a hundred feet, preventing anyone from escaping from above.

"!!!" Both the assassins and Theo's group were shocked by this sudden movement. However, that shock turned into relief for Theo's group when a monkey descended from the cliff with a sword in his hand.

"Kiki!"
