Chapter VII: The Beginning of the War
"You shouldn't have come to me now, I'm in a bad mood right now!" El looked at the assassins surrounding him and said in a deep voice. Follow? Dreams? .lā
"That's what the master meant, and the master wants to see you." Haas said to El.
"Then let him do it himself!" El said indifferently, as he walked along Gotham's rain-soaked paths, countless dark shadows appeared around him, and the Hundred Faces and Cursed Guards confronted the Assassin leaders beside him, and an atmosphere of slaughter filled the period.
"Hassan, is it the Old Man of the Mountain School?" Haas recognized their identities as they looked at the faces and spells.
In the West, the term Assassin originates from the Assasin School, founded by the Old Man of the Mountain, who used assassination as a means of assassination and had been a secret organization for a long time. However, they eventually disappeared under the Mongol Iron Cavalry, and the last of their descendants merged with the Assassins in Europe to form the Assassin League.
Haas was not only an assassin, but also a witcher, so he could tell at a glance that Hassan was not a human at Li Luo's side, but his skills had not faded in the slightest, and his consciousness remained sober.
Knowing how terrible a Master Assassin was, Haas was secretly on guard, he didn't think he knew El and would have survived the fight.
"Get out of the way!" The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and under the dark atmosphere of Gotham, the rain here seemed to wear some kind of terrible resentment, drop by drop, the raindrop hit El's body, and everyone was confronted here.
"Haas, get out of the way, I'll talk to him." Stepping on the rain, the Master Assassin walked up to El, his whole body was already drenched by the rain, but his eyes were like a scorching torch, and one could easily feel the fire in his heart.
"You have rejected the trial, and then you have one last chance to get rid of us before the Guardians come, and that is to defeat us all!" The Master Assassin's voice was heard clearly in El's ears.
When El heard the Master Assassin's words, he just gently let the Hundred Faces Spell Wrist get out of the way, and a magic sword burning with eternal fire appeared in his hand, and the flames instantly evaporated a block of rain, and endless mist rose, and only the Master Assassin and El could see each other face to face.
"Then I'll kill you!" El slammed his sword into the ground.
"Come, show me the power of the Brotherhood, let me feel your wrath." El's clothes were torn apart in an instant, his armor was covered, and his eyes were full of fighting intent, and El wanted to defeat the assassin in the shortest possible time.
"It's your choice!" A golden apple appeared in the Master Assassin's hand, and in an instant, the surrounding scenery changed, and they came to a new place.
El recognized the place, this is Venice, the Venice of Italy.
"You will be put to the test by the Masters of Assassins here, and only through the Masters will you be able to leave this world." The voice of the Master Assassin came from all directions.
And several white-clad and hooded masters of the past are rushing to El in different ways.
"Hey, another awesome guy, let's see how good he is, aha!" A Master Assassin who seemed to have a very out-of-the-box personality, did not wait for the other Master Assassins to speak.
The Assassin had already rushed in front of El, who picked up his Levadin and swung it to kill him, but was easily dodged by him.
"The power is good, but the speed is too slow." The Master Assassin stepped on the tip of Levardine's sword, and a backflip easily dodged El's sword. The flames on Levardin's sword seemed to have lost its effect at this moment, and it had no effect on the body of the master assassin.
"It's not that he's not fast enough, it's that he's not flexible." The other Master Assassin dodged around El's swinging sword like a graceful dancer, a chill flickering in his long sleeves, stabbing El's ribs.
El now knew that he was no match for this group of master assassins in terms of speed and agility, but El knew that he still had an advantage.
"Speed!" Behind El, a large dragon wing grew out of it, and its speed accelerated instantly, and Levardine's blade slashed at a Master Assassin who was caught off guard. But in an instant, the Master Assassin's wounds were fully healed.
"It's memory!" Although El won a temporary advantage, these master assassins were all masters of killing, and they keenly grasped Eyre's gap and stabbed El fiercely. Some of the Master Assassins even used firearms, and although they were only flint, El could feel the magic in the bullets.
"Roar!" El roared angrily, and the huge dragon roar made all the Master Assassins fall apart, and El knew that they would soon recover, so El put away Levardine. Because the bulky Levardin would only give these Master Assassins an advantage.
"It's time to finish!" The cadre Mo Ye appeared in El's hands, changing the previous strength-based attack method, El's sensitivity has been greatly improved, and the thick dragon wings can withstand most of the attacks, and El does not care about the damage added to his body.
Calmly dealing with the Assassin Masters, although these Assassin Masters are only memories now, but the habits and glory of belonging to the Assassin Masters make them not like to besiege them, most of the Assassin Masters prefer to work one-on-one, and this gives El a chance.
The Commander slashed through the throat of a Master Assassin, and that Master Assassin's memory instantly dissipated. El realized that these Master Assassins were not immortal, and that their memories would dissipate as long as they were wounded in vital parts.
"I see?" El said with a wipe of blood from the corner of his mouth.
The current Master Assassins, who is El's maternal grandfather, said that this was a trial, so the purpose of these Master Assassins was not to punish El, but to train El. Of course, this training is not friendly, and it may even be hung up if you are not careful.
But this is exactly what El needs, in fact, El already knows that his strength is growing a little faster now. It may be a good thing for many superheroes to grow their strength quickly, but the nine-story platform starts from the ground, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and sometimes it is not a good thing to grow too fast.
Only the strength that you really master is your real strength, El has always thought so.
