I can't fucking believe my luck... It was a simple job to kill a priest 150 gold a bit less than what I usually charge but I still can't believe that bastard had ties to the church of The Six Swordsmen and he had enough pull to call in the fucking sword saint. If I can just make it to the swamp, I can lose her there, maybe even kill her now that would be a story for the heavens to talk about a mortal man who killed a sword saint.

Suddenly a pain goes through my left arm. I look down at my arm and it's a long sword, as fast as it was there it's gone. Dammit! She found me I let off my smoke bombs behind me as I charge forward. More swords appear I dodge a few but 3 pierce my ribs and another one in my left leg.

I am only a meter away from that swamp. I can make it; I can see it the swamp there in the distance. I can now use all my tricks.

BOOM! Before my eyes the swamp bursts into flames, destroying my entire plan and going up with the smoke. Suddenly a fireball comes right for my chest. I jump to the side and barely survive I look at where it came from and I see one of my worst fears: the saint of flames.

What the hell is she doing here the priest could not have ties to the Holy flame church no this is something else. Damn it why didn't I see this sooner someone has paid the churches to kill me and what better death machines then saints beings with powers like gods.

Well if they think I'm going to take this lying down then they are wrong. I'm going to run for my life, I make it a few feet before both saints are attacking me with everything they have swords and fireballs lucky for me though they have no teamwork whatsoever some of their attacks even block the other ones out. I have only one plan in my head right now and that is to make it to the demon country the saints can't enter there because there powers don't work inside demon territory.

But there is one problem with my plan I don't know what other saints there are, I don't think the saint of space or the saint of time oh man I hope that they didn't come no they couldn't have or I would already be dead so there's still some hope.

I was now only a few meters from the border, I burst through the thick trees that are in my way and land on the barren ground and across from me about only 6 meters I see black soil and purple skies.

To anyone else this would be certain death, but for me it is salvation a charge nothing can keep me from that demon land but suddenly I feel pain erupt from all my nerves and a cold wind pins me down I now see the floor and it's covered in lighting crawling up me and into my body causing my pain only I know who did this.

It was the twin saint sisters of lighting and wind who come from the church of Storm I look up and there they are floating in the sky soon joined by the fire saint, I wait for the sword saint to join them but then a blade enters my chest I guess that's her way of saying hello after planting the sword in my chest she walks over and joins the others.

Fuck... Why did I have to die like this? Was it because I was an assassin? Am I going to die like this because I never prayed to any god? Or is it because I just had shit luck?

Well... All I can say is: fuck you gods!!! And I think the saints knew how I felt because of the finger I had raised but you see they have one thing wrong... They think I'm going to die quietly? Well, I am going to take all of them with me.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

I slip a special pill into my mouth and I feel energy rushing through me, this pill was a gift from my master he said to only use it when pushed so far into a corner. I can see the grim reaper already. 

I'm able to stand up and the look on the saints’ faces when I pull the sword out from my chest they are completely shocked now... For the real kicker I pull a blue diamond from my left pocket and a red flower from my right pocket both of these are dangerous poisons but when combined with water they turn into a very big explosion.

I throw both at the saints they but up there defenses I start running but when they see nothing happens. They lower their guards just like I wanted and when they start running after me that is when I throw my water satchel fully open and it collides with the other ingredients of my plan.

BOOOM! The shock wave alone send me flying I stop when I crash into a tree I get a good look at the explosion area all that's left is a massive crater, fire everywhere along with smoke for that nice after explosion look but then I see something in the smoke that really upsets me the saints there still alive they all banded together and blocked my explosion but not unscathed some burns and cuts here and there but still no major damage.

Dammit, finally when I thought I got them I need to run now before they catch me. I start running back inside the forest but this time no plan no bright idea no card up my sleeve just fear pain and a will to survive I keep running I start to hear explosions from behind me I guess the saints are looking for me now but maybe I should have been looking where I was going because. I run off a cliff the fall down hurts but I still have the pill in my veins so for now I'm good.

Once I land I see my surroundings more forest not as dense as before but still a green forest I start to make my way through it. When the pill starts to wear off all the pain comes back and I feel weak but I need to keep going. I see something only a few feet in front of me I rush towards it.

When I get a look at it, I can only guess what it is. By my guess it is some old magic mechanism it looks like a big hexagon but made out of stone on the and covered with thousands of runes carved into it and beside that are two pillars only a bit bigger then me with the same runes carved into them I have never been one for magic always went with a sword in one hand and a smoke bomb in the other but for some reason I had something pulling me to look at this.

I walked over to the hexagon covered in runes and I kneel down and looked it over but suddenly my vision goes all blurry, I cough up blood all over the hexagon. I guess the aftereffects of the pill are kicking in or all the injures I got from the saints finally took their toll on me doesn't matter because I am dying goodbye cruel world I give in to death and the world goes black.

The unknown assassins blood starts to leave his body and flow into every rune on the hexagon and once they're all full of his blood the entire thing starts to glow the hexagon and both of the pillars do the same there glow intensifies into a bright blood red until a white sphere appears in the middle of the hexagon it is the size of a fully grown man it says they're not doing anything for a few seconds until it starts to pulse like a living heart.
