Chapter 140 - chapter 140

Adonis fights the 6 assassins, handling the situation pretty well as he blocks and parries most of their attacks without many issues.

"Who do you guys work for again?"

"Lady Grahas, wasn't it?" He says as one of them throws knives at him, which he avoids as they hit the wall behind him.

The men then rushed at him, swinging the blades at him with great speed as one of them came at him with a blade coated in a light blue aura and thrust it in the direction of Adonis.

[SWORD FLASH!]

!?

"What the-" he let out while catching the blade as he coated his arms with his energy when suddenly another swordsman came at him from the side as he swung with the intent to cut his head off, but luckily Adonis avoided an unfortunate event from happening by releasing one of his arms and swinging the blade away as if it was a crayon.

Tch!

"Surround him!" One of the swordsmen who was slightly farther away shouted to the others as they quickly went around him, then attacked him from all available angles, not allowing him to do anything else other than black dodge.

"Shit!" He said as he used his energy, hardening it with his skill like a metallic coating as he continued to take in the attacks from all sides when he suddenly went for a ground stomp that was infused with aura, sending an immense shockwave that sent them flying into nearby walls and windows.

BOOM!

Although he sent them all away, they quickly got up as they continued to attack him.

Every step and blow could be heard in the silence of the alleyway as he and the attackers traded blows when suddenly footsteps could be heard from afar, making the swordsmen retreat as one of them spoke to him before quickly leaving into the shadows.

"Consider this your lucky night."

As the noise became closer to him, he noticed that the people coming towards him were Clad and Jill, and he waved at the two of them.

"You were the one behind all of this noise?"

"What happened?" Clad asked him.

"I got ambushed by a group of people."

"They said they worked for a woman called Grehas."

"Did you...do something to annoy said Grehas?" Jill asked him as he replied that he didn't and that it was actually his first time hearing about her at all, which made them wonder why they even attacked him in the first place and what they wanted out of it.

"Don't worry about it too much."

"I can handle my own back just fine!"

"I'm not weak after all." He said, remembering the food he bought as he looked at where he placed the bag, only to see that it was even more damaged because of the fight, and he ended up taking whatever seemed intact, and he ended up with only fruits and vegetables.

TCH!

"These motherfuckers done make me waste my damn money!" He muttered to himself as Clad and Jill watched in silence before helping him pick things up.

Seeing this, Adonis thanked them, and they left the alleyway as Adonis asked where they would be staying, with Jill replying that she'll work things out with her currency and title as a noble of the Darkheid household.

"Aw yeah, Jill!"

"Thanks!" Adonis says.

"Yeah, we don't know what we would have done without you on this team..." Clad said, which made Jill blush.

...

"Y-you're welcome..." Jill replied as Adonis smirked at both of them while they continued walking the quiet streets toward a hotel, teasing that they looked like a couple, which resulted in Jill slapping the back of his head in embarrassment as they all laughed.
