The Young Noble Ascendant-Chapter 51: Murder Plan (2)
When Theo was in disguise, he was seen selling fruit.
Suddenly he saw several people chatting happily.
And they seemed to be discussing something very important.
Then, Theo tried to approach them while still pretending to offer the fruit he was selling.
As he got closer to the people, Theo overheard their conversation.
The conversation turned out to be related to the De Ashmere family receiving an anonymous letter.
The letter, according to circulating gossip, was about how the De Ashemere family was cheating in the booming potions business.
According to the gossip, the potion made by the De Ashemere family was stolen from the Merchant of Staellar.
Not only that, the gossip also mentioned that the De Ashemere family had stolen a potion with the blood of innocent citizens.
Because of that, this news spread throughout the De Ashemere family area.
However, the Head of the De Ashmere Family, Roland De Ashmere quickly blocked off his entire territory to prevent anyone who knew the rumors from leaving his territory.
Hearing this, Theo finally succeeded in making the De Ashemere family panic and be alert regarding the news.
And at this time, Roland quickly asked his troops to find out who spread the news and also who sent the letter that Roland received.
Because in the letter it was written that if they did not want this news to spread, they had to meet with the anonymous person, namely the person who sent the letter.
And that also made Roland immediately look for who sent the letter, and also asked some of his troops to meet the anonymous person at the designated place.
The place turned out to be the same as the place the Leonhardt family was going to.
_______
The appointed Meeting Day...
Vincent, along with his troops and friends, started heading towards the designated location.
They plan a stealthy ambush with three of their troops disguised as merchants carrying potions from Rey (Theo).
Then, when troops from the De Ashmere family arrived, they approached the three traders.
Shortly after, a mysterious figure appeared wearing an all-black robe, and the troops of the De Ashmere family thought that this figure was the figure who sent the letter to the head of the De Ashmere family.
And suddenly....
"Clang!"
The sound of swords clashing was heard, and it was a surprise attack from De Ashmere’s troops on the mysterious figure wearing an all-black robe.
Then the entire Leonhardt army rushed to quickly attack the army from De Ashmere.
A battle ensued between De Ashmere’s forces and Leonhardt’s forces.
Then, Vincent gave orders to his team.
"Come on everyone...! Kill those thieves...!" Vincent said to his team loudly.
"Clang!"
"Boom!"
The clash of swords and the explosions from De Ashmere’s troops’ magic made Vincent’s troops have a bit of trouble.
Because De Ashmere’s troops have some pretty great Mage troops.
And also has a fairly skilled Knight troop.
This left Vincent and his troops feeling cornered.
"Ugh... they’re pretty strong!"
"Young master... it looks like we should step back for a moment."
Said one of Leonhardt’s troops to Vincent, to retreat first from the battle.
Vincent at that time did not expect that De Ashmere’s troops were quite strong, especially the mages who had C Rank, 5 Star level.
One of the mages from De Ashmere tried to summon a rain of fireball magic, and launched it at Leonhardt’s troops.
"Boom!"
The large series of explosions seemed to hit Leonhardt’s troops, but luckily some of Leonhardt’s troops managed to stop the flying fireballs with shields and powerful sword slashes.
"Clang!"
The battle continued, they slowly entered the Greywood forest area.
However, during the battle, both sides suffered significant losses.
And Theo took advantage of that loss very well.
Theo, who had been watching the battle from a distance, used his eye ability, the Origin Eyes.
He continued to watch over them until both sides suffered heavy losses.
From here, Theo began to act, he covered his identity by wearing a black robe and a mysterious mask.
The sword Theo used was also not his own, but a fragile sword he found around this forest.
"Huh... looks like it’s time for me to make my move." Theo said with a serious face and started using his sword skills.
"Shatter Blink"
Instantly, the entire area seemed to have cracks in the air.
Theo quickly moved towards the battle.
And then, Leonhardt and De Ashmere’s troops began to feel a fairly strong change in wind direction,
"Woosh!"
"Crack!"
The air moved rapidly, and a crack appeared around the battle.
One of the Leonhardt team was also shocked by what he saw, saying,
"What is happening?!"
"Young master....!"
"Look..! Are there cracks around this area?!"
"It looks like a tear from the air?!"
They began to be shocked and panicked by what they saw, and it made the previously tense battle suddenly stop due to the phenomenon.
However, when they all panicked....
Suddenly a slash appeared out of nowhere.
"Slash!"
The slash moved quickly, and sliced through several people, like cutting through meat with ease.
"Woosh!"
"Crack!"
then a scream was heard....
"Argh!" (sounds of pain from those who were hit by the swift slash)
The cracks in the air continued and the wind gusts grew stronger.
Then, one of Vincent’s troops screamed in fear for help.
"Master..! Young master... help me!"
"Slash!"
The troops were killed with their bodies split in two.
Blood started to splatter everywhere, They started to get scared by the cracks and the gusts of wind.
Then, suddenly, the wind stopped blowing. The atmosphere began to grow tense.
They started to get confused, who did all this? 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Soon....
Theo, who was in disguise at the time, began to reveal himself in front of them.
They started to get scared and their bodies trembled, as if they were feeling a very strong fear.
Vincent also bravely shouted,
"Who are you really!?..."Vincent said in an angry tone, but his body felt scared.
Theo answered,
"I am...."
"Shadow Reaper."
