Chapter 206 Escape; First Clash Against The 6 Ninja Assassins!
Chapter 206 Escape; First Clash Against The 6 Ninja Assassins!
Buffalo, the leader of the 6 Ninja assassins was a black man.
Before becoming a Summoner, he was a secret military agent for the Darvis royal family who was both effective in marksmanship and close combat. Due to certain reasons, he was attracted by the Clown's proposal.
For the first time, he got what he wanted and became a Summoner.
Rising through the ranks was easy for him, in just a few years, he became one of the strongest Red Masters at the foremost of the Clown Society.
Despite becoming a Summoner already, he still had his old customs. At this moment, he was dressed in brown military attire with a special brown bullet proof vest. His main weapon on his hand was a 3-module automatic sub machine gun.
At this moment, alongside the other 5 assassins that formed his new team, they camped a short distance away from where their target disappeared.
Buffalo had a lot of thoughts in his mind as he watched. All of them were solo assassins of the Clown Society before they were called for this mission, and subsequently asked by Black Master Einstein to form this elite assassin team.
Before now, they barely knew each other, they only knew through their records. They knew that each of them was strong but they barely knew each other's personalities, they had not even fought together once.
As a leader, Buffalo knew that this was not right, he had to remedy this.
He turned to face his teammates and threw them a question.
"What do you think of him?"
"The Sexy Chocolate?" The female assassin codenamed Crow asked.
"…" Buffalo's silent stare gave her the answer that she needed.
Crow kept quiet as she waited for others to speak.
In the end, the only other female assassin in the team who was also the 2nd in command, Owl spoke. "I think he is a formidable opponent". She said seriously.
"Referencing all his previous battle records and exploits, including his confidential secret battle against the Skull Necromancer, he is an assassin's worst and most exciting enemy".
"He is strong, knowledgeable, smart, and knows how to be ruthless".
"He is almost a perfect Summoner".
"Also, I don't know if its true but he seems to have prophecy powers. It is ridiculous that the only 2 students that he took in ended up becoming such powerhouses, it definitely has something to do with his power".
"Also, his ability to know so much about our organization while barely making contact with us before now, he is someone that we should be wary of".
"I'm not in the place to give orders but if it is up to me, I don't think we can assassinate him and his students while all we know about him is through records".
"Let's not take this opportunity to try assassinate him".
"Let's rather use it to sound him out and know more about him, his mannerism, his battle preferences, his likes and dislikes, and his battle style while revealing as little about ourselves as possible to him".
"With this, we can better prepare an assassination plan".
"…" The others all kept quiet and silently looked at this female assassin.
"…" Buffalo also kept quiet as he looked at his 2nd in command.
He knew that for her to be made the 2nd in Command, she must be powerful but he didn't expect her to be this smart. He was already grateful for it, he smiled and finally gave his reply.
"Good job, I like your analysis".
"We shall take your plan".
So, they waited…
After about 45 minutes since the Sexy Chocolate and his students entered the beast plane, the space shifted again as the familiar rainbow bridge appeared.
Buffalo closed his eyes. 'I already tried, after this last assassination, I can finally rescue all my children'.
He opened his eyes and they now burned with a fiery zeal.

Bzzz!
Legolas did not just jump out of the rainbow bridge, before jumping through, he fused with Bran as together, they flew out of the rainbow bridge.
He may only have access to 20% of his power now, but he could still fuse with his beasts which still increased his power a bit.
Through the 2 special abilities that he activated, he scanned everywhere.
He rapidly communicated with his students. "All 6 of them are here!"
"To the right, Shield!"
"Incoming from the skies!"
"Incoming from the front, a Mammoth!"
"Beware of the arrows!"
Blade jumped alone out of the beast plane as his eyes gleamed sharply.
As for Christensen, he jumped out with both Leo and Brutus, leaving only Frigga behind. As soon as he arrived, he heard his master's orders and without him even asking, Leo responded to the orders.
The Frost Wolf growled as his frost energy converged, forming a gigantic ice shield towards the right that protected them all right on time.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The shield erected right on time to thwart Buffalo's sabotage.
The leader of the assassins did not call his beasts, he only used his special automatic sub machine gun.
He timed his shooting time so well that it directly coincided with when they came out, without the shield, Christensen would have received a direct lethal bullet shot to the brain.
Holes were cut through the ice shield but it held its ground.
Apparently, from this attack run, Buffalo only gave authorization to Mammoth and Vulture to make use of their specially created beasts.
The ground vibrated like an earthquake was imminent as the gigantic Mammoth beast charged forward. Unlike a normal Mammoth, the eyes of this one glowed green, this beast was one of Clown's successful test subjects.
Powered by psionic energy, the Mammoth had impenetrable defense.
The assassin who rode on its back wielded a lethal Sniper rifle. Combining impenetrable defense with lethal offense was Mammoth's battle strategy, he pulled the trigger the next moment but they were already prepared for him.
Whoosh!
With one flap of his wings, Legolas flew into the skies, dodging on time.
As for Blade, this Pugilist rolled through the ice beneath him effortlessly like a ball rolling through a football field, also dodging the shot.
As for Christensen, Brutus ran the show.
Brutus used his abilities as together alongside Leo and his master, they became invisible, effortlessly dodging as the shots hit absolutely nothing.
Legolas flew into the skies but the skies were also not safe.
Vulture, this male assassin rode a literal mechanic vulture through the skies. He was a ranged combatant as he unleashed his load the next moment.
On his orders, the Vulture that he rode flipped and mid-flip, from its mechanical wings, metal spikes and slashing swords were shot down.
Not only his beast did his work, he was dressed in a special attire with metal components filling most parts. As his beast flipped, he did not become dizzy as he aimed and from his hands, poisonous darts were shot at their opponents.

Among the 3, Legolas had the easiest opportunity by far to escape.
As soon as he disappeared into the void dimension and reappeared, he was already far away as without hesitation, he flew away like he was abandoning his students. Vulture followed him but Buffalo ordered otherwise.
"Leave him, focus on his students!"
They returned their attention here but Christensen and his beasts were still nowhere to be found. As for Blade, this Pugilist's eyes already turned pitch-black.
"Master of Debuff Ability: Ear Curse!"
By focusing all his energy on this, the effect was amplified.
Though they were already warned about this annoying ability, experiencing it for the first time in an amplified manner, they were all affected.
Blade took advantage of this little opportunity and bolted away. With his Speed talent, his speed was like that of a Formula 1 race car.
He didn't run for the wide expanse of ice though, knowing that some of his opponents had flying beasts, he rather bolted for the edge of a cliff.
All 6 assassins already went after the Pugilist in pursuit.
Buffalo's eyes shone brightly. "Vulture, predict his movements and corner him, it seems there is a chance that we can capture or kill this one".
When Blade made it to the cliff, he didn't even look before he jumped.
Below the cliff was a complicated set of ice glaciers, some with sharp ends that pointed upwards. If he fell on them, he would definitely die.
Blade didn't even bother to look at them, he simply closed his eyes to allow himself float as he glided through the air, effortlessly riding the wind.
Vulture accelerated after the free-falling Pugilist as he aimed to catch him but mid-flight, his eyes suddenly detected something.
Masked by Brutus' ability, he did not detect the arrow on time.
The arrow from Christensen dug into the assassin's back, after practicing his marksmanship for months, Christensen was already a master.
"Ugh…"
As this assassin grunted and as blood flowed, Legolas who was still fused with Bran who was made invisible by Brutus already finally came out of his invisible state. With one smooth motion, he grabbed Blade and flapped his wings.
Whoosh!
They flew away to safety.
As they escaped, Legolas turned to look at the assassins, their plan was good but unfortunately, he already guessed that this would be their plan.
You don't make plans before the master planner.
He smiled at them. "Adios".
"Till next time".
