Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 295 Assassin! - Part 1

"THEN! System can you interrupt the ritual circle???!!" Jin did not care about the resources needed. If Jin could not stop this terror attack from happening, it would most probably absorb Ku Wai and the military vendors as its sacrifice. It would ultimately make a bad dent to his reputation as a dungeon supplier, but most importantly he needed to save Ku Wai.

"Not possible without casualties. The probability of success has been significantly reduced after the forbidden blood magic ritual had surpassed phase two. Regrettably, System analysed that this ritual had catalysts prepared beforehand to push the blood magic ritual to the final phase in the shortest time possible. Forcefully interrupting the blood magic ritual is possible but participants would undoubtedly die from the backlash of the ritual disruption." The System stated.

"Ixel, Ixa, Itori." Kraft who had emerged from the far edge of the National Stadium stood tall and proud as he placed three bullets into his special triple barrier revolver, No Mercy. "This is my present for you, Jin, for being such a nice gentleman towards a beautiful crippled girl…and bringing in a toy for me to play with once all this is done. Oi System, this is how things are done. Watch and learn." Kraft had a smirk on the side of his face as he pulled the trigger.

The three bullets came out at the same time. Once they travelled midway, three foxes overshadowed the entire national stadium as if some Kaiju were rampaging the area. The assassin saw the three foxes in white, orange and red coming towards him before they suddenly transformed yet again, this time into orbs.

The three coloured orbs started to revolve around the ritual circle. Faster and faster they spun around it, until it appeared as one giant halo in the sky. The ritual circle started to lose its layers of magic. Slowly but surely the layers disappeared and more and more of the vendors were released from the black chains that were holding them down. However, it was apparent that they were sapped dry of chi and were at the brink of fainting. If slightly more time had passed, the consequences would have been dire.

In the meantime, Milk was on the scene the moment Jin shouted for her, casting healing magic of Legendary level, that was unlocked by the System, solely for the treatment of Yuan Ba with Yang Ling desperately holding on to his hand.

"It's my fault! It is my fault! I am sorry Papa! I shouldn't I have called out to you!" Yang Ling's tears stained her face so severely that the mascara makeup she put on previously was all over the place.

"No, Mdm. It's your calling out to him that had saved him. The shot would have aimed for a direct hit to his spinal cord, causing him to die almost instantly, but your action made him react just in time for him to turn his neck, preventing such a tragedy. " Milk had actually been behind the scenes as instructed by Jin to standby even though it was still so early in the morning. (Milk and Peppers nonetheless got reprimanded by Yun for sleeping in late.) It was after all a big business deal that he was taking part with, he needed the act to proceed safely but never in his life had he foreseen there would be an assassination that was happening right in front of him.

"Savants! Rescue the victims!" Jin called out to the humanoid robots which he had aptly named as 'Savants'. Reason being, those humanoid robots were powered by gems that were courtesy of Kraft. He said that he had managed to steal the skills and experience of some of the more powerful adventurers and condensed their skills into gems. How the gems came to be was a story that Jin did not ponder to ask as he was pressing for time to get the dungeon completed. (But *cough* the rest of us know how it did happen. *cough*)

The Savants swoop in to rescue the victims without fail as the three orbs swirled rapidly around the assassin who was still doing the forbidden blood ritual at the very last layer of the magic circle. However, instead of breaking, the assassin managed to absorb all the chi power he had gathered from the victims and looked at Jin.

"I do not know who you are, but now you must die. He must unquestionably die and everyone else in this dungeon instance, too!" The assassin declared, but Jin could not identify him at all since there was a black shroud permanently covering his face.

"For the Face! For my Liege!" The assassin dashed forward and locked swords with Jin. Unlike previous opponents Jin had fought against, the clash with the assassin had his entire arm shaking. It was not due to fear but the sheer power he was wielding. This was unlike the Titan Knight, where faith and belief fueled this particular person without a dungeon manipulating such sources of feelings.

One wrong step and it would be the end of Jin, when he remembered that this assassin had substances that could corrupt the Dantian. If he was not wrong, that was similar to what had happened to Yun. "Banned Emperor?!!" Jin shouted trying to distract the assassin, which he managed with limited success, giving Jin the opportunity to throw in a sucker punch infused with Black Fire into it.

The punch burned the assassin's torso momentarily but within moments, it was recovered when a black shroud covered around it.

"You blasphemer! How dare you utter that name with disgust! But most importantly for a measly no name dungeon supplier, how dare you say even that name without any reverence!" The Assassin bellowed as he cast a purple Lightning bolt from his hand and shot it out towards Jin. With the experience from the Titan Knight, Jin summoned a white ice shield that managed to both blocked and deflected the attack partially.

Yet, all of that was just a distraction for the assassin to move to Jin's side. "Lazy Panda Swipe!" With the ice shield still on his left hand, Jin's attack caused the white ice buckler to shatter the assassin's right arm that was holding a dagger but the assassin was not done.

*BANG!*

Another shot came and the assassin had a grin in his looks. Unfortunately, he did not realise, that Jin had living armour plates running around him with one of them managing to block it with ease, though at a terrible cost. Unlike the attack that Yamazaki made, this particular living armour plate broke into pieces and fell off from Jin. It seemed that the bullet the assassin used had corrupted the living armour, causing it to be unusable. The others wisely avoided absorbing the corrupted pieces.

"Fuck this is some serious shit!" Jin thought as he opened his mouth and fired a beam of Panda Yawning, burning the handgun and assassin's hand along with it. Without doubt, the assassin had no other choice than to fall back to recover. The black shroud that was hovering around the torso extended itself towards his hand.

Instead of a hand growing back, some sort of phantasmal force recreated the look of a hand even though it was void black in colour. "How dare you…" The assassin sounded furious as he raised his phantasmal hand up and showed off his cultivation of dirty black aura revealing ten ominous shadows, that were each sitting on a thronelike chair, which ultimately combined into one large shadow. This made the shadow seem even more real, with the throne gaining an imposing aura. That darkness then raised its arms as if pointing towards Jin.

"Bodacious Banned Emperor Style. Death to all traitors of the country. For the Face! " The shroud was removed from the assassin's face and it revealed a face, that Jin could never forget.
