Chapter 36

Massacre

Lightning strikes instantly enveloped both of Raff's hands, the guardian immediately jumping up while pushing the wizard's body, while the fighter immediately turned around while swinging his fist at Raff's neck.

"Arrgh!" the archer screamed as her heart was pierced by a lightning knife from Raff's left hand.

While the lightning knife in Raff's right hand only slashed the guard's waist, the fighter's fist only hit the wind as Raff's body disappeared from the four of them. The archer's body immediately collapsed to the ground in a pool of blood, while the wizard survived being pushed by the guardian.

"Damn it!" shouted the fighter who had failed to attack Raff.

"What was that move? Even my eyes can't follow it," muttered the assassin, who looked shocked that Raff's form was now in a different place.

"I'm going to finish you!" shouted Lancer as he got into position to throw his spear.

The ground around the dungeon began to shake like an earthquake, and Lancer's spear was enveloped in a burning fire. While the fighter and the assassin immediately stood near the lancer to protect him from Raff's attack, the fighter in another place also immediately covered both fists with wind to protect the wizard who was giving potions to the guardian.

The air around the place where they were fighting became hotter as the flames surrounding Lancer's spear grew larger, and a fiery red magic circle appeared in the center of Lancer's spear.

"Fire spear!" shouted Lancer as he threw his spear at Raff.

The sound of rumbling wind could be heard accompanying the spear, and the ground that the fire spear passed through was instantly scattered into the air, with sparks flying from the spear in different directions.

But Raff stayed where he was, shaking his head as if to say that the attack was useless. The sound of a powerful explosion rang through the ground, and the ground wall where they were fighting shook violently like an earthquake. Chunks of earth were scattered from the ground wall pierced by Lancer's fire spear.

Lancer's spear continued to pierce the earth wall on the fifth floor until it penetrated another area on the fifth floor. Dust flew into the air, covering their battle area. There seemed to be a huge hole behind where Raff had been standing, but Raff's form was now elsewhere, unharmed.

"No way, that attack shouldn't have been dodged at such a close range, a rank A assassin like me couldn't even dodge it at close range," the assassin said with a confused look on his face.

"Who the hell is he? I've already used half of my remaining mana," Lancer thought after seeing that even his strongest attack couldn't hurt Raff.

Meanwhile, the swordsmaster facing Hayato seemed to turn around in an instant when he heard the powerful explosion, but he couldn't see anything because of the thick dust. Soon, the thick white mist that enveloped Hayato's body began to dissipate, and suddenly, the swordmaster turned his eyes back to Hayato.

Now Hayato's figure was back in sight, smiling nonchalantly at the swordmaster who was still standing alert.

The swordmaster looked confused as nothing happened. "What are you doing?" the swordmaster asked as he drew his sword to attack Hayato.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"My skill can make people who see the white mist hallucinate and attack their own friends, you will think that you are attacking me, but you are actually attacking your own friend," Hayato explained with a grin.

The swordmaster looked hesitant to continue his attack, "What are you saying?" he said quietly.

"What I'm trying to say is simple. Now that you have fallen into my illusion after seeing the white mist earlier, you are actually unknowingly trapped in my illusion. Are you sure that the me you see and hear right now is your real opponent?", Hayato asked with a casual smile.

The swordmaster's face immediately turned anxious, his angry gaze now fixed on Hayato, "Fuck!"

"Everything you hear and see right now is a hallucination, you can't hear the sound and see the reality that is happening right now. Actually, me and my friends are busy with your other friends right now. That's why I saved you as the last target," Hayato said with a satisfied smile.

"Damn it, you think a lowly skill like that can beat me, huh!" the swordmaster snapped as he raised his sword.

"Hahaha... attack me right now, right now your friend is right in front of you, you can't even see or hear him. Hurry up and attack me!" challenged Hayato while he gestured for the swordmaster to attack him this time.

"Damn it," the swordmaster grumbled while reversing his intention to attack Hayato.

"Tch. Your friend really protected you, I couldn't even attack you. Even though you didn't move," Hayato said.

"Ouch! Fuck, they can even hurt me," Hayato shouted as he threw himself to the ground holding his chest.

"Damn it, this attack almost killed me. If I die from them, then this illusion skill will also disappear," Hayato said while getting up with a grimace of pain on his face, his hand also seemed to be holding his own chest.

"Attack him! Finish him quickly!" the swordmaster shouted happily after seeing Hayato's grimace of pain.

"It's useless! They won't hear you!" said Hayato.

While Raff looked at his remaining opponents, he also glanced at the swordmaster Hayato was facing; it seemed that the swordmaster still hadn't done anything. Even though Raff had been ready to help Hayato if he was in danger.

"What's that freak doing?" muttered Raff, furrowing his brow at the sight of Hayato knocking himself out.

"What's he doing in this situation?" said the opposing assassin when he saw his friend screaming incoherently in front of Hayato.

"Here he comes!" said Lancer as he saw Raff charging towards the three of them.

"Go!" the fighter shouted as he tried to use his punch magic to hit Raff, but the magic enveloping his hand vanished in an instant. "Damn it! I can't use my powers," the hunter grumbled.

The Fighter's blow was dodged by Raff by twisting his body to the side, and Raff countered by aiming the lightning blade in his hand at the weakened Lancer. But the opposing assassin didn't stop there, he used the knife in his left hand to parry Raff's lightning knife.

But the lightning knife in Raff's hand turned into a bolt of lightning that traveled to the assassin's hand, and without hesitation, the assassin immediately cut off his left hand before jumping backward away from Raff. Meanwhile, the fighter behind Raff swung his kick at Raff, but his attack was again successfully dodged by Raff jumping into the air.

The Fighter's kick hit the Lancer's neck instead, causing his friend to roll to the ground, and Raff, now airborne, instantly vanished as dozens of wind spears shot toward him. A loud explosion sounded as dozens of wind spear magic hit the dungeon's dirt roof.

"Looks like I don't have to worry about him," Raff muttered as he saw Hayato rolling on the ground while pretending to scream in pain.

Raff's figure was suddenly close to the fighter who had kicked the lancer, suddenly the fighter was surprised and tried to attack Raff with his punch, but a small bolt of lightning from Raff's right hand preceded the fighter's attack, the steel armor worn by the fighter could not withstand the penetration of such a small and sharp bolt of lightning. In no time, the fighter's body fell to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose.

"Gotcha!" the assassin shouted as he lunged at Raff with his remaining right hand.

"You idiot," Raff said as he parried the assassin's attack.

The fire that surrounded the assassin's knife vanished instantly as it approached Raff. The assassin's right hand was held directly by Raff's left hand, while Raff's right knee was lifted up as Raff's left hand pulled the assassin's right hand down.

"Argh!" the assassin screamed, spitting blood from his mouth as Raff's right knee slammed into his stomach.

Raff grabbed the knife in the assassin's hand with his right hand, and in no time at all, the knife had sliced through the assassin's neck until he was dead, writhing on the ground. Suddenly, the ground shook again, the sound of a strong wind rumbling as the wizard prepared to make her strongest attack on Raff.
