Chapter 238 - Counterattack
Suddenly, Desmond shifted his attention toward the assassins. His instinct screaming in danger as his body unconsciously moved the side.
*swoosh*
The sound of something heavy passed his ears, making the ringing buzz sounded repeatedly. When Desmond saw what happened, his expression darkened. A sword mark successfully injured his leg arm, leaving a heavy wound and revealing his inner flesh.
But what most surprised him was all of the bodies of the assassins were bulging like him. Even with their bodies covered with black clothes, they cannot hide some of their clothes were torn apart, revealing their muscles full of veins.
Desmond expression turned solemn; he took a step back and landed on the stone chair with his arms crossed. While observing their condition, Desmond was sure they were using the Power boost skill.
"Don' get too cocky after you killed one of our friends." One of the assassins spoke without waiting for Desmond's reply; he already vanished into thin air and reappear behind Desmond.
The assassin was in mid-air; he slashed his sword horizontally toward Desmond's neck. The grin expression on his face grew wider when he noticed Desmond's did not move.
The other assassins also did not idle; they have arrived near Desmond body. Unlike before, their sword already aiming at Desmond's heart.
When Desmond saw this, his reaction was too late; even when he expected them to use the power boost skill, still he did not count their stats were higher than him.
Still, even in this dire situation, Desmond calmly observed the situation. Like before, the time slowed down again, showing every trail of swords slowly approaching his heart. The assassins' expression also gradually changed from solemn to delighted.
Upon seeing this, Desmond noticed the short-haired woman did not participate in this attack as she only standing on the rear, watching this with the look of pity.
From the start, only you who did not attack me, Desmond muttered inwardly. His hands already moved toward one of the swords. He gripped the sword edge until it breaks while he also bent his body and used his other hand to pierce the other assassin's chest.
When Desmond killed one of the assassins, he noticed the short-haired woman expression slowly changed as she began to grip her weapon with her feet trying to move.
*crack*
When the time speed back to normal, the sound of sword breaking was heard, sending the remaining shard to the rest of assassins. The assassins agilely doge the fragment while at the same time, "Guhh..." one of the assassins spit out a mouthful of blood with his eyes already lifeless, and his body fell backwards.
*clank*
The other assassins' swords collided, while the sword from the assassins behind Desmond slashed an empty air.

....
Their expression was shocked. Immediately their eyes scanned around and found Desmond already bent down with his head lowered.
"Disperse!" the short-haired woman suddenly shouted; the three assassins that were facing their backs to the short-haired woman did know what happened; two of them successfully managed to take a step backwards.
"Argh!" but the last assassin who was standing in front of Desmond felt something big and long piercing his abdomen. He screamed in pain when his body keep moving toward Desmond.
Upon seeing this attack, Desmond wanted to dodge but only found his body bumped with the stone chair.
Another person body bumped to his front, blocking his vision; their faces were met when Desmond staring at the assassin with cold eyes while the assassin staring at him in pale.
"Ugh," Desmond also spit out a mouthful of blood when he felt his abdomen was pierced by many swords at the same time.
After feeling this pain, Desmond immediately used his hands to push the assassin that was bumped him, but the assassin only moved a bit, revealing a long steel stick stuck toward the assassin and pass through toward his body.
When he lowered his head, he found the weapon carried by the short-haired woman has many swords edges stuck into the pint; at a glance, this weapon looked like a broomstick.
"Body enhancement... Body enhancement... " Without any delay, Desmond shouted in his mind. A new surging power enveloping his cells, making his arms and feet felt full of power.
But at the same time, along with the power, a new sudden pain attacked him. He feels like burning and peeled repeatedly. His bone letting out a cracking sound while his blood sounded boiling.
Desmond pushed the assassin with his new additional power and managed to pull out the weapon from his abdomen. His arms and feet looked can't hold power as they began showing a crack on the surface.
*thumb*
At the same time, the healing effect from his passive skill activated. His blood around the hole slowly extended, forming a root-like covering the hole in his abdomen from all sides until it made a cocoon and generated new skin.
Desmond's action was too fast; the assassins only came back to sense when Desmond already vanished into thin air.
Desmond already held one of the assassins heads; his fingers managed to pierce the assassin's eyes while his right foot, already locking one of the assassin's legs, preventing him from escaping.
When his arm almost breaks the assassin's neck, a shadow of broomstick heading toward his location from upward, slashing down toward his body and the assassin's body.
*boom*
Desmond managed to dodge this attack, but as a result, the assassin head was split apart, revealing his juice brain and fell forward. But he did not manage to completely dodge; his fingers were torn apart while some were cut.
Desmond coldly staring at her, his body not too far from the dead assassin. He also scanned the other assassins found them staring at her with rage in their eyes.
"What are you doing?!" When the other assassins realized this crazy woman attacked their friend, they roared at her and pointed their sword.
In response, the short-haired woman who was scared like a cat before revealed an indifferent expression and disgusting look toward the assassins. She just snorted at them before her body dashed toward Desmond.
Suddenly, the short-haired woman expression changed. She changed her stance from pointing her weapon forward became holding her weapon in 45 degrees near her chest.
*clank*
Two swords suddenly appear in thin air, slashing toward her heart, revealing the assassins in black clothes assaulting him. " You bitch! Dared to ignore us and killed our friend, the imperial assassins!" the assassins shouted at the same time.
On the other side, Desmond did not join the battle as his eyes starting to analyze their weakness and find a chance to kill them. " It's funny, since when the assassins cared about their teammates. " he also commented in a low tone.
