Battle Master

8:30 pm somewhere in the city of blood...

A wounded man is running away from two unknown guys who wanted to catch him. When one of the guys throws a knife targeting his foot to immobilize his movement.

"You can't escape now. You damn traitor."

One of the unknown guys suddenly vanishes and appears in front of him while drawing his katana. When the man swings his katana who are prepared to kill the wounded guy. A bullet came out of nowhere that hits and stops the sway of the katana.

Ceto appears and confronts the guy who is pointing a katana at the wounded man.

"If I were you. I wouldn't do that especially in this place" Ceto said while making a death stare.

One of the guys charge Ceto and draws a dagger to attack him. But Ruslan comes out and blocks the strike.

"Hey... it is not fair to handle these two guy. Don't be a selfish one. You better leave this guy to me" Ruslan smiling while blocking the strikes coming from the dagger.

"You better shut your mouth and focus on your enemy, Moron" Ceto replies to what Ruslan said.

"Now... as I said earlier... You better stop now or else you'll take your last breathe tonight" Ceto said to the guy who still pointing his katana at the wounded man.

Instead to stop. The unknown guy swings his katana to finish off the wounded man. But Ceto shoots his katana to avoid the wounded man from getting hit and quickly used his feet to dash add it to his attack rhythm to make a powerful penetrating stab.

"That was a close one. I didn't know that there is a guy who is capable to do such a dangerous and interesting attack in this city. A city known also as the weakest city in the east. Anyway, my name is Freed... Freed Saunders and you are?" Freed's cape gets a scratch from Ceto's attack.

"Oh... I'm glad to meet one of the top ten strongest assassins from the western continent, Freed Saunders... what are the Battle Master of Arcana doing here and what are you up to with this guy?"

"That's none of your concern. I'll give you a choice... Let me finish that guy off or I will end your life instead? Choose wisely" Freed said it to Ceto with a smile on his face and fierce-looking stares.

"Don't be so confident even if you are a Battle Master of your clan. You are just a mere assassin just like the others for me" Ceto answers Freed confidently and try to intimidate it with his signature death stares.

"That stares... So you are the one who is known as the paragon huh?" Freed laughs at what he found out about Ceto's identity.

"Laugh while you can. I'll finish you off in an instant" Ceto draws his blade and try to make a move. But Freed was vanished in front of him and attack his back with a devastating one-hand slash.

"Is that so?"

"So this is what the paragon is capable of? Don't make me laugh. Pathetic..."
