Revenge

My former client starred at the body that fell to the floor before yelling in outrage.

"What is the meaning of this!?" He yelled, his voice filled with anger.

"Oh this? This is nothing, just an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. You wiped out my family and village so I am going to wipe out your branch family." I replied.

"You! Could it be you are one of the villagers from that place? It seems they missed one. I knew we should of taken matters into our hands instead of hiring mercenaries. It seems I have to take care of this myself." He talked while his remaining bodyguard handed him a sword.

"We may only be a branch family but our swordsmanship is still one of the best." He stepped into a sword stance and launched a slice to my neck clearly going right for the kill. I ducked underneath the sword and thrust at his chest.

He widened his eyes and sidestepped out of the way. Then he launched a chain of attacks at me and I either blocked or dodged every strike.

"I was expecting better. It seems I overestimated you." I said with a bored look on my face as I parried another one of his attacks.

"Fine. You forced me to do this! Take this!" He screamed.

His attacks got faster for a moment and a rapid flurry of attacks came my way I tried to block most of them but then I noticed a few strikes got killed though only to bounce off my armor.

"Are you kidding me? All you did was sacrifice strength for speed. You got a few hits through but they did no damage to my armor." I said.

Honesty most fights I had so far were boring and easy. The only hard fights were with those who could use shinsu. Here in the outer tower most people lacked in strength and experience in fighting. Right now I feel like I am playing a game on easy mode. Once I reach the inner tower that will probably change. After all that will be like going from easy mode straight to extreme. I think I'm finished toying with him. Let's make him lose hope.

His attacks slowed down before eventually stopping as he planted from exhaustion. His bodyguard stepped in and tried to punch me only for me to stop his blow and knock him back. I started walking towards my former client.

"P-P-P-Pls, if you want money I can give you it. Just spare me." He trembled and fell backwards on his butt.

I walked toward him "Tell me, do you feel fear? This does put a smile on my face." I smiled as I said so.

"However I won't be the one to kill you. After all I already had my fun with the mercenaries you sent. The one to kill you will be my sister. Your bodyguard will fight my other friend. I brought them here for experience and their first kill. I am not leaving without results."

Elana approached from behind me and stared at the man on the ground before lifting up her axe. She hesitated for a few moments and hope filled the eyes of the one below her. However hope did not last long as the axe fell down.
