Luc is landing on the front yard of the house with the green roof, he takes out his small sword he uses in combat, and he is walking in a slow rhythm to the house main door. He left the gadget who helped him fly attached on his back, thanks to two ropes who are attached to the gadget who helps his feet keep staying steady on it. As he goes closer to the door, Judah and with Ulfred are heading to somewhere where they can hide from the assassin, to the kitchen room.

***

As we got to the kitchen, Ulfred has an idea to use the table. He was about to throw the dishes which Taka has made for us to eat at the dinner, but him and with me, realizing we have morals and care about Taka, we are coming to both agreement to put the dishes as fast as we can to the counters of the kitchen, and use the table to shield the window.

"I think we are safe." whisper Ulfred to me.

Then, an arrow hits the table, and it breaks in half, flies to the house, and hits the wall of the house.

"What is that arrow made of?!" yelled Ulfred after they put down to avoid that arrow coming at them.

"HA!HA!" laughs Luc who is barging into the house and sees Ulfred and me on the kitchen. "You two are done, now!"

He aims his short sword to Ulfred, and he says to him in an evil manner.

"Where is Garnet?"

"I will not tell you." says Ulfred not being intimidated, like, by that sword who is almost at his neck.

"Is that so? Then... Take this!"

As Luc was close to stab Ulfred, I immediately interfere by taking my wand and aiming while the assassin was focussed on Ulfred. The spell I launched to the assassin it is "Slowin'", a spell which is making the one hit to be slow for a small period of time. This spell was the one who came to my mind, plus, I have rarely used this spell. The last time I use it, was to slow down a thief who was trying to steal from an old woman while she was checking the squire, at the time I was out from the coma.

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

Ulfred used this opportunity I gave to him. He dodges the attack of Luc, he takes his sword, jumped on him from behind, grab him, turned around from the window, and he stabs Luc in the chest area one time. Then, he takes out his sword from the chest of Luc, and he stabs again on the chest area, and he takes out from that place again, and with a last swing, he manages to cut his neck with his sword. The body of the brown assassin fell on the floor, with shocked look as I can see from the decapitated head who is at three meters from the body.

This grotesque image made me feel sick, and almost made me vomit. Then, Ulfred comes to me, he taps my shoulder two times I was vomiting, and he tells me with an exhaustion.

"Y-You did good, kid. You did good with the spell."

"S-Should we help Kata?" I ask Ulfred, looking at him worried.

"No." he says. "This is her battle."

"Huh?"

"She probably almost arrived there."

***

Meanwhile, on the building, Kata is looking at the house where Luc has entered, not knowing her comrade got killed by Ulfred and Judah. In that room, Kata is carefully watching at the roads, where a few clones of Taka are coming at the archer. Kata, being sick, she prepares some arrows, and she shoot three of them, all three flying into different directions, and managing to hit three clones from a few meters apart each other.

"Got them!" she looks at the place where Vidraru was sitting, and she sees it empty, Vidraru is not there. "What the? Where is that asshole?"

***

A few meters from the building, Vidraru, is running from that tower, he is carrying a blanket tied to a stick, carried on his back. The things there are some magical items which Vidraru is going to use for the next battle he will have against those four enemies. He leaves the tower, because he saw Taka, coming there, and he came to the conclusion it would be a good idea to flee from there, rather to fight her and her clones while he is still in a bad shape from the fight he had against Judah.

***

In a few minutes, Taka got at the end of the tunnel who is going through the Bran Village, she sees the building where arrows were flying from and where that assassin flees with the gear who made him fly. Taka prepares her spear, and she heads to the door of the building, ready to face Kata, the green assassin with formidable skill in archery.
