I was told where the target would be and now the place is in front of my eyes.
"It's huge"
That was all I could say, in front of me is a large lot with a gigantic mansion at it's center. I didn't think that I wouldn't notice this but analyzing it's layout, the positioning of the place makes the huge property inconspicious, especially to travelers.
The giant mansion was indeed a sight to behold but then it was surrounded by a mini forest and the whole property is surrounded by high walls. The walls is similar to the towns walls causing the illusion that nothing is there.
How am I able to see it?
Easy, right now I'm standing on top of the walls. The guards were sleeping, guess being a night guard for a noble is pretty easy. When I saw the untouched assasination notice with a hundred gold reward I was curious as to why nobody took it but it seems that nobody really wants to go against nobility. I don't know anything about the Lancaster family but judging by the property in front of my eyes, I could infer that they are a pretty high up family.
Well, it's not like I care. I took the job so no matter how hard it is I will need to finish this and also I don't like that Julius' attitude. He reminds me of those corrupt businessmen and also the template antagonist that I'm very tired of.
Anyway I need to finish this job immediately.
I jumped off the wall and stealthily passed through the forest as to not alert any of the guards.
"Hey is the young master at it again?"
"Yeah, it seems that he's been rejected yet again"
While I was nearing the mansion I heard two men talking.
I hid in the shadows and concealed my prescence and headed towards the voices slowly. When I reached the place I saw two men wearing full silver armor drinking. They were sitting on tree stumps and judging by the strong smell of alchohol I understood that they are already drunk. I sat there quietly to get some infromation at least before I plunge into the enemy stronghold. Although I am confident in my skills, it's always better safe than sorry. I preked my ears and listened closely to their conversation.
"Well it doesn't matter what the young master does anyway"
One of the two said as he let out a sigh.
"Yeah everyone here knows what the young master is capable of"
"Cheh... that spoiled brat can only do those things because his father's is a duke. If and a high ranking knight, what would he do if he was born as a commoner?"
The other man retorted in an annoyed voice.
"Come on although you say that it's still better than following those Nobles with high a sense of justice, right"
The guy relaced and took a sip from his mug and after that the other guy continued.
"Well when the young master get's done he would share them with us after all so we should be more than thankful we got destined here"
"Well not everyone enjoys picking up others scraps!"
The other guys again answered angrily.
"It's better than not getting a taste is it not?"
The anger in the other guys was lost and he just silently drank and the two started another conversation. Their talk is now about something that doesn't concern me so I turned and headed towards the mansion.
There were no guards around the mansion and when I stretched out my senses there was really around. I cautiously walked towards the mansion and entered via the front door. I don't like goin in like this especially with houses that have giant doors but since the windows can't be opened and I don't have the necessary tools to enter any other way the front is the only possible entrance.
Opening the door a weird stench assailed my nostrils. The scent was something I already smelled before, the smell of sweat and... cum. This smell I remember it was when I was tagetting the head of a human trafficking sindicate. That guy... he was not only an asshole he was retarded enough to even have 3 to 4 year old kids in his house.
And when I looked around a similar scene was revealed in front of my eyes. There are about ten women lying powerlessly on the floor. They all had their clothes stripped of their bodies and their vagina's were no their whole bodies were covered in white liquid.
"Well at least these women are all above 18"
That was all I could say, after all I was already used to this kind of things. Women used as toys by powerful individuals, that's something that happens everyday in my previous world. Especially when I assasinate someone in their homes there would at least be two to three women waiting on them.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Of course I felt pity towards these women but not everyone can be saved, I'm not god after all. Heck even god can't do crap.
If I remember that weird white being told me that he was called god then if that's the case shouldn't he be able to fix the problems of this world in a snap. But he can't and instead sent me here with slight power up's. I then walked deeper into the mansion. I climed up the stairs and as I arrived there I could faintly here the short cries.
I then turned towards the only hallway and continued.
On the floor are women in a similar state as those on the entrance. Thinking about it I saw about twenty women already.
"That guy is surprisingly tenacious"
That is the onl thing I could say, after all seeing the 20 women who lay peowerlessly on the ground it's clear that they have been tired out by their partner. And of course I saw a room where there is light.
As I walked closer to the room I could hear the loud moans of a woman. But these moans were not purely of pleasure but you could clearly feel the sorrow in her voice.
"P-please... ahn... sto-... ah...p"
"what did you say?"
"P-please... nooo"
"hah hah hah..."
[thud]
"Now who's next?"
Just hearing his voice made me mad. Well I guess I should stop him before he takes another victim.
[Slam]
I went in explosively and with my entrance 7 pairs of eyes stared at me. 6 of the eyes are filled with fear while the last pair were filled with anger.
"Who are you!"
He angrily shouted as he picked up his sword and pointed it towards me. This is very much like our confrontation this morning. The only difference is that he was naked and the audience are 6 girls.
"I'm here to take you life"
I told him bluntly and he then looked at me up and down then he smiled.
"So that's it huh, do you think you could just barge in here and take my life?"
He said as he showed me a mocking smile. And before I could reply he screamed.
"Ben!"
Then from out of nowhere I felt a hint of bloodlust. I shifted my body a bit and with that a strong wind passed by rising up my cloak.
"Master stay behind me"
The old butler who appeared. He was holding a knife and seeing it a smile formed on my face. The knife the butler was holding is the knife that I sold to the guild, it seems he bought it huh. While I was thinking that the butler staightened his body and started talking.
"Sir, I know you took the job but if you go back now I promise that the Lancaster Family will reward you plentily."
He told me in a business like manner, but I didn't have any thoughts of backing down on a request. Moreover I already saw the sins that this man has commited and my rule during assaination is that I would never kill anyone besides my target unless he protects him. Well that and many others but since this guy wants to protect this assholes life then I have no choice.
"I won't go easy on you even if you're an old man"
"Oh are you declining the offer"
"I am a man who sticks to my promises also I don't like this guy so I will kill no matter what it takes"
The butler made a stance and with eyes filled with resoluteness he declared.
"If you want to kill the young master you'll have to get through me first"
With that the butler leaped towards me. The movements were exquisite and refined they were obviously not the moves a regular butler can do, could this person be the legendary [Combat Butler] but I have no time to think about that.
Evading the blade I shifted to the left and thrusted my fist towards the butlers abdomen. But the butler was able to react accordingly and curve the trajectory of the blade and move his lower budy back. If this continues I would be stabbed and he would recieve only little damage. But it's not like I will let him hit me that easily.
Using my left hand that was holding one of my blades I parried the knife with my sword and in that moment I succesfully landed a blow on the butler. But that wouldn't stop it, he was able to avoid taking all the power of my punch by making his body move with the force. He made it so the impact's damage wouldn't focus on one point but instead be spread. Although his whole body would surely be hurt it's better than getting knocked out.
"You're better than I expected"
I told the butler, for an old man like him to be this powerful I could only imagine what hardships he'd come across. Although I am proud of my own agility in terms of strenth I would be happy to even be able to damage my opponent with a punch but in this world my stats have all been increased so I think that I have enough power to knock this old man out with a punch.
"Same here, to think there would be a person who could keep up with my magic"
His words didn't rattle me, after all if it was anyone else they wouldn't be able to sense the activation of magic but I know this old man activated magic. Others would praise his speed but it's all in magic and of course I don't hate him or look down on him because of his trick but I instead fell admiration towards this old man. To be able to use his tricks that magnificently and also having that incredibly high battle sense if that's not praise worthy I don't know what is.
"Judging by your reaction you knew that I used magic to boost my speed I presume"
I nodded silently as I watched this old man, of course I didn't continue to talk as he might be able to make a connection between my voice and the voice of the adventurer that his young master battled this morning.
"Hoho~ well then let's see if you can see this"
After he said those words he disappeared and then, behind... I raised me sword to block attacks from behind
[Clang]
The sound of metal clashing and the grinding of two blades. Although I am still curious why this bones are able to make those sounds since it's a fantasy world I'll just not mind it.
"You... then how about this"
Our battle laster for ten minutes and all I did was block the old butlers attacks. After the ten minutes of using differnt techniques he dropped to his kness as he looked at me while he breathed heavily.
"To... think there... would be... someone... capable... of... following my movements..."
Saying that his body shoock and his eyes opened and closed. He's clearly losing energy and with a small push he would get knocked out so taking the chance when he blinks I dashed and cut his head of.
It happened in mere moments.
[Thud]
The severed head of the old butler fell near one of the six women making them all release cries of fear.
Julius when he saw this was frozen I took this chance to attack him and again in a split second another head went flying.
The head fell and a fountain of blood gushed out of the dead mans neck painting the room red. The women all fainted and I left the place quietly. After geting out of the residence I hid in the shadows again and just in time the sound of footsteps echoed in the courtyard.
A groupd of 5 armored men entered the mansion and taking this chance I escped from the premise and returned to the roads. I then walked towards the assasins guild to get my reward of course I took something that would prove my kill that was... Julius' head.
