Ancient Tears BloodLine-Chapter 58 - Reached Home

I confronted these two Hyenas. I am looking at their movements to find out their intention. "Which one is going to attack me? " I mumble a little, one of the Two Hyenas move towards me. Seeing that I hold my Black Sword and raise against it. I swung my Sword a little to see its reaction. But it never paid attention to it. I'm also waiting for a good opportunity to use Lightning Energy.

Suddenly,

The Hyena on the left side leaped towards me. It used its huge claw to attack me. As its huge paw with sharp claw reached an inch away from me. I hold my Sword horizontally to block it. My Black Sword took the blow. It didn't even break. Certainly, I can feel this Black sword is Something.

I'm holding on my own against this hyena. We were both matched in strength. The Hyena got mad watching that. Seeing it failed to do tear down its prey it applied even more force on the Black Sword. I knitted my eyebrow.

"Common make your move, what are you waiting for?" I shouted in my heart. From one eye I looked at another hyena. If both of this Hyena make their move at the same time. Then it would be effective to use the lightning attack.

This was all happened within a few minutes. By the time the rest of Hyena's reached me, including the injured one. While I was confronting these two hyenas. They start to surround me to block my escape. But the eyes of its Leader didn't leave me. It casually starts walk around me. While watching its members attack me.

The Hyena on the right side finally made its move. It opened its mouth which had perfect predator teeth to attack me. A smile blossomed on my face seeing that.

"RECKONING CIRCLE"

I commanded. A lightning circle appeared in an instant. Hereby electrocuting both of the monsters. Both of the hyenas got only half of their life left. They were growling in pain. Only a little sound can be heard from their mouth.

Due to little amount of energy left inside them. Other hyenas quickly got startled seeing that.

A commotion appeared among the packs of Hyena's, seeing its members beaten to death. Some of the Hyenas left seeing that incident.

Leaving behind its Leader wondering. The injured Hyena also left with them. There is a bit of hesitation that appeared in the Leader's eyes. It didn't want to leave its prey.

I saw all of the hyenas left except its leader and two other hyenas growling on the ground. I felt the leader hyena want to leave. So, I didn't waste any time attacking it. I used the same Lightning Circle making it immobile.

Sometimes later,

I store the bodies of three hyenas in my storage ring. Then I continued my journey back to the border wall. This time I didn't waste any time and quickened my pace further. Soon, I saw the border wall at distance.

My entire being become relaxed seeing that. I deactivated my perception ability. For the entire time, I didn't deactivate my perception ability.

It acts as good vigilance for me and saves me from sudden attacks. I reached the border wall and gave a last look at it. "I don't know where will be my next assignment?" I commented in my heart. As I exited from the entrance. Then I went towards the Northern border's office for reporting.

Fortunately, I made it on time. I am two hours behind my schedule. I can manage that. After reporting was done. I found an inn to eat dinner. I took an empty seat. Soon, a waiter arrived to see me. "Give me grilled meat with some side dish," I ordered. Usually, at this time, I will eat dinner at home. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

I sighed thinking that then I looked at my sci-fi watch and found so many notifications from Uncle James and Granny Park. I replied to them that I'm fine. And I will be leaving from Pinewood Town after having dinner.

The dinner arrived. I spent some time eating the food in leisure.

Sometimes later, I left the inn after paying them with credit. I booked an Air Cab directly to White Snow city. It's an expensive one. There is no train to White Snow City at this time. So, I don't have any choice. After waiting for some time I entered the Air cab and leave for White Snow City.

The Homeless beggar at the gate of the inn. Went to a nearby secluded place and operated his Sci-Fi watch to report everything. The Homeless beggar is none other than but Sir Lowell McClain's men send here to watch over Zack. After sending the report he disappeared from that place.

After five hours of travel, I reached home. My lips curved a little. These two days were nothing but an Adventure. As I was prepared to enter the room. I saw Uncle James and Granny Park discussing something serious in the hall.

My mood becomes sullen seeing that. Their expression is a little bit tensed. "I don't know why they are tensed. I already told them that I'm coming home safely."

I quickened my pace towards them. Hearing my footsteps the discussion stopped. They looked at me. I saw both of their eyes. I asked, "What happened? Anything serious!" I took an empty seat. While asking.

Hearing my question. Uncle James said, "You were quite lucky today and got escaped from great danger." I can see there is a bit of seriousness in his tone.

I knitted my eyebrow and rubbed my temple and asked directly,

"What is it, Could you explain me directly without holding anything?" I had enough with this puzzling talk. Hearing my question. Granny Park said, "We have received a tip saying that someone sent an assassin to kill you." Then she continued, "While you went inside Pinewood Forests."

A tremor ran through my heart hearing that. My eyes were opened wide there is an unbelievable expression on my face. "Nobody knows about my Energy Cultivation, How come they sent an assassin to kill me?"

Ever since I activated Lightning Energy. I have been acting low-key. Even my Blood energy is cultivation is started recently. That is a secret that is known only to me. "What's going on?" I commented in my heart.

"It was an intel sent by your teacher. He expressed that you should watch over your back. Even, if you are not in Pinewood forests and both Monsters and Humans were dangerous and cruel. You shouldn't let down your guard. Until you feel you are safe."

Hearing that my heart starts to beat faster. I tried to say something but my words started to stutter. I can feel my chest being tightened. "Anxiety or Fear. I don't know. This is something new" I commented in my heart.

Uncle James and Granny Park both got worried. Seeing me can't handle this information. They had a guilty look. I rubbed my temples and took a deep breath. I can feel that my chest is relaxed. Now, I can breathe freely.

"There is no point in being worried. Preparation is the only Key. Common Zack" I comforted myself. I asked, "Uncle James, Did my teacher tell you about the Energy Level of the Assassin?" This is important information.

Which I needed to tackle him. "Assassins are secretive. Some operate as teams. While some do their job as Solo Assassin. The Assassin who is sent after you is likely to be at Peak of Special Trainee."

Hearing that I started to think by rubbing my temple. "A gap of one level between us. That too he is Peak Warrior. I need to get a breakthrough for my Physical strength soon.

If I came across him, I can choose only to escape." I commented in my heart. Then I asked, "Do they know my level?" This is what confuses me. How come they send a High Profile assassin over me without knowing anything in certain? 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

"Looking at what was happened so far. I believe the Assassin didn't have any information regarding you. Otherwise, the assassins won't leave without finishing his Job." Told Granny Park.

"I too feel that this is what happened. The information about you is closely guarded. It's unlikely to be known by everyone." Uttered Uncle James. Then he continued, "Even at your training facility.

People can only speculate after looking at your performance on blood kill tests; they don't know anything yet. But one thing is clear. You are on the list."

If they don't know about my element. Then it will become a trump card for me. Then we discussed few more minutes before we left to sleep. I assure Granny and Uncle James that I will be fine.

I won't spend too much time outside. My schedule is already tightly packed. Even if I want to go outside, I can't. I laughed myself thinking that.

Then I entered my room. Had a quick shower. I didn't bathe for two days. I smell like garbage. There is a mix of sweat and blood over me. I had a nauseous sensation smelling that. Having got tension so much.

I didn't notice my body odor so far.. After some time, I left the shower and lie in the bed.
