Fate Online: Shadow

Chapter 86: We, The Assassins!

Michael is currently following behind a black man, who is around late thirties and there is only a ten meter distance between them. He didn't even try to hide his intention as Michael just blatantly followed behind the man, while the said person on the other hand, clearly noticed him already as the man is making his way outside of the village.

Michael on the other hand wasn't even fazed that he was discovered and started enjoying the food and scenery along the road.

After a couple minutes later, the two finally arrived at the outskirts of the village.

"Who are you? You were so audacious that you're even blatantly following me. I don't remember knowing someone with your face"

Michael didn't answer, and just grinned coldly, and dashed towards the man!

"Bastard!"

Peng!

Both of their fist collided with each other, as it surprisingly produced a metallic sound, like two pieces of iron colliding with each other, and both sides immediately took a couple of steps backwards.

"You're still strong as ever, Mr. Viper!"

"Who are the heck are you?"

"No one!"

Michael yelled as he once again charged towards Viper, as his feet would leave deep imprints on the grassy ground.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Both sides started exchanging blows after blows, but as the seconds went by, Michael is starting to be at the advantageous side as he started to hit his target more as the seconds went by.

"It seems your skills have gone rusty, old man!"

"Hmmp!" Viper just snorted, as he quickly retreated backwards to create a distance between them.

"I don't know who the hell you are, but you're gonna regret messing with me today kid!"

Viper snorted as his body executed a stance called Ban Mu Bu, a stance derived from the Ma Bu stance, also known as horse stance.

'Shit, he's getting serious'

Michael also went serious, one of his legs stretched outwards while the other leg bent, supporting the whole body, while he crossed his arms at the side, with his fingers curved inwards like a claw.

It's the Tiger Stance!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Both men immediately charged towards each other!

BAM!

*****

Two men are currently lying on the once grassy field, both breathing heavily, and their arms, legs and some parts of their bodies are full of bruises.

"Who the heck are you, kid? I've never seen or heard about you before"

"Hahaha! Shadow, call me Shadow old guy! I've just joined the organization an hour earlier"

Michael laughed, feeling really refreshed, but at the same time, he's feeling pain all over his body, proving how deadly their attacks earlier, and a normal person taking those multiple hits would are either dead or luckily just passed out.

"I would have killed you if you even showed a hint of killing intent earlier"

"I doubt you can even kill me, old man!" Michael just laughed it off, as he certainly knew that he could escape or even kill him if they really fight to the death, but his chances of killing Viper is only ten percent with his current abilities, and Michael's chance of getting killed is around twenty percent.

"Tell me, how did you hear about me? I've been living peacefully for a couple of years here now, and you just appeared out of nowhere and started attacking me, and your skills is definitely on par with those Two Blade rankers, like me! Charon would certainly not tell you about me!"

"Yes, I was just assessed with that rank earlier, and no, Charon never told me anything regarding about you, I just know"

"Tsk! I already expected that you wouldn't tell, but for someone as young as you to achieve something like that is already amazing enough, but don't think that you're the only one with that kind of talent and abilities"

"So tell me, what is your purpose of looking for me? Don't tell me you just came to exchange blows with me?"

"What if I tell you that I really came looking for you with that reason?"

"Bullshit! I'm not that dumb"

Viper cursed as he quickly got up, while Michael also did the same, and now, the two of them are looking at each other, just staring in silence.

Both of them never really went all out with each other earlier. After all, Viper wasn't called as Viper for no reason, it was because he is someone who specializes in poison, while Michael is someone who is more skilled in using daggers and firearms.

They just stared at each other, but the one who broke the silence was Micheal.

"Alright, I came looking for you because I want to recruit to join me in Fate Online"

"Fate Online? Are you talking about that game that's getting more popular these days?"

Viper raised an eyebrow as he didn't expect that the man in front of him came looking for him just to invite him to play a game.

"Sorry, but I'm not interested"

Viper said as he immediately walked away, and headed back to the village.

"Are you saying that being a tour guide is better than playing a game, where you can experience a thrilling adventure?"

"Are you satisfied at just being a tour guide? Don't tell me you don't want to go back to those days? Where you, as an assassin ruled in the shadows?"

"And don't tell me that you don't, because a retired person wouldn't have that kind of abilities for someone who already retired for a couple of years!"

Michael said, the moment Viper was about to pass by him, which made the latter stop.

"Sorry, but I'm not the person you're looking for. I'm pretty sure that there are also others you're planning to ask that question"

Viper said as he continued walking away from Michael.

"I'll only stay for a day, if you change your mind, come look for me at the village entrance before the sun sets tomorrow"

Michael said as he didn't try to persuade him anymore.

'Hmmp! People like us are very different compared to normal people who don't have a clue of what's happening behind the curtains. Living a normal life doesn't satisfies us!"

'Because we, the assassins are the ones who rules the lands, the moment darkness envelops the skies!'
