Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

532 The Trio's End.

In the air, Hal released Cee who fell fast towards the ground, falling even faster as the Cosmic pagoda realm expert released a blast of cosmic energy to propel him even faster to the ground.

Hal was not having it though as he flew even faster than Cee could fall to intercept him and kick him and send him back into the air where he moved to strike him with Executioner.

*Clang*

Cee actually managed to deflect the strike with his saber artifact before he tossed his sword at Hal who reacted fast enough in the air to avoid getting hit.

However, that brief moment of respite was enough for Cee to finally propel himself to the ground and finally get himself a foothold.

After which he surrounded himself with Cosmic energy to stop Hal from attempting another uplift.

Hal landed soon after with some distance between them while he watched Cee with a smile.

What annoyed the Assassin the most about this situation was how Hal was the one making him worried when it should have been the other way around with him having the stronger cultivation.

That was not to mention that he was still wondering what the hell Hal was.

He charged a cosmic attack and imbued it with a force befitting of his Cosmic pagoda realm cultivation which in the case of a successful hit was sure to put an end to this battle since the cultivational pressure Hal was giving off remained at the mid-stage of the cosmic aurora realm.

Hal suspecting what was on Cee's kind grinned before he slashed at the attack the assassin tossed at with Executioner charged with frightening Devil energy.

*Bang!*

*Boooommm!!!*

The blast sent Cee sliding back with widened eyes as he had not expected Hal to be able to meet the attack head-on and still cause a stalemate.

Hal who had flown up to avoid the blowback of the blast now started forming daggers with nightmarish devil energy, all of which he tossed at his opponent with a snap of his fingers.

"Hmph"

Cee let out a sound of contempt at the attack which saw as an insult to his strength.

The daggers were not even moving at a speed he could not intercept.

Dual-wielding his saber artifact and his sword cosmic armament he struck at the daggers but soon found himself unable to repel or deflect them. Instead, he was only cutting each danger in half.

Halves that soon formed individual dangers to continue on their course to make contact with his body.

Surrounding himself with cosmic energy which was Cee's last-ditch attempt at protection and one that he believed would succeed, the assassin was left helpless when the dangers pierced his cloak of cosmic energy to pierce multiple parts of his body.

"No more than scratches... As I would expect of a Cosmic pagoda realm expert" Hal said as he eyed the damage with a frown.

Indeed, Cee was not overly injured. The cuts by the daggers were not too deep to be life-threatening,

"Bastard" Cee snarled before dashing towards Hal with barely a care about the injuries he had sustained.

His urge to fight Hal and put an end to that confident pose of his caused him to neglect the possibility that there was more to the devil energy attack even as they lingered on him and seeped into his wounds.

Hal took a second to crack his knuckles with a smile before he met Cee's double weapons with Executioner which resulted in a loud clang sound after which they briefly separated, only to connect again and resume their weapons battle.

Making full of his dual-wielding, Cee managed to keep Hal's broadsword busy with his saber artifact while he swung his cosmic armament at Hal who stopped and grabbed the sword with his other hand...

... Without sustaining an injury.

This was the occurrence that caused Cee's eyes to widen the most...

He pulled his sword out of Hal's hand, -with the Devil not resisting too much- slashed it at Hal's midsection and watched it slash Hal's clothes but leave his actual body uninjured.

Hal's Mid world Devil form when accurately reinforced with Devil energy was not what a Cosmic pagoda realm expert (a mere realm above him) wielding a Sword, could possibly cut through.

Hal chuckled sinisterly before summoning his cosmic Armament with his free hand and stabbing it into Cee's midsection.

Cee had seen the stab coming and had made to leap back and out of Hal's reach, not willing to test how sturdy his body would be against the sword but finding himself feeling sluggish and unable to react in time.

The sword went through him and splashed blood over Hal's clothes but the devil ignored it and smiled on just as Cee finally managed to leap back, the sword getting pulled out in the process.

"*Cough" *Cough"

With a strong taste of blood in his mouth, Cee retrieved a mending pill from his spatial ring to heal his wounds but even as he swallowed the pill, he found that his wound continued to bleed nonetheless.

Even the superficial wounds he had gotten from the multiple dagger attacks were still bleeding.

Something he had not noticed all through his battle with Hal after the injury.

"What the hell?" He mumbled before Hal was suddenly in front of him and kicking at the already injured midsection.

"Shit" Cee cussed right before the hit connected with his body that was once again feeling too sluggish and slow in reaction.

*Bam*

When the assassin's back made contact with the Dome wall, he flicked his finger in a bid to most likely retrieve a trump card but Hal was there to cut off his hand and stop such an attempt.

"Arrghhhhh" Cee yelled before Hal shoved a mending pill into his mouth not to help him but to prove a point.

"You see that?" The handsome Devil asked as he raised the still bleeding stump of Cee's hand for the assassin to see clearly,

"That will never stop bleeding. None of your wounds ever will. The devil energy that lies in your system has corrupted all your wounds and made it impossible for any of them to close or heal. In other words, I don't really have to do anything..."

Hal said before stabbing Cee in the stomach once again to which the Assasin once again yelled out loud.

Hal continued,

"I don't have to do anything and you will simply bleed to death in excruciating pain since my Devil energy will make sure you keep hurting until you can no longer hurt I.e when you're dead.

But seeing as I am a generous devil... Oh yes, that's what I am, a Devil albeit a generous one, I shall end your suffering.

Besides, I feel you've learned your lesson enough to know there are certain jobs you should never take.

That should be enough to make you wiser in your next life... If you do have one, that is" he said before leaning away from Cee and then beheading him swiftly with Executioner.

The headless, one-handed body fell in front of Hal while the head rolled for a while before stopping.

Hal then looked back at the battle between his women and the other two assassins right on time to see it reach climax as well...

Thinking to take their opponents who despite having lower cultivation were more than holding their own against the assassin duo, by surprise, Tee and Dee switched opponents.

With Dee suddenly facing Sassy and Tee facing Melinda.

Neither Melinda nor Sassy were bothered by the switch.

In fact, Sassy welcomed Dee's attempt at going right for the kill with her daggers. With the female assassin moving even faster by boosting herself with Cosmic energy.

Sassy dodged one of the daggers which had been targeting a vital organ but still got stabbed in the shoulder.

The Familiar groaned but continued to smile as she used close contact to strike Dee's chest with her sharp nails.

The assassin was spinning her dagger, the one that Sassy had avoided getting hit by, to use it to finish the job when she felt a sharp pain in her chest.

The pain was not from the nails stabbed into her chest but the poison Sassy had used the opportunity to inject directly into her heart.

Sassy grinned as she took Dee's wide eyes of shock as a sign that her poison was already reacting even before she began to see the green tinge spread and show up on Dee's body,

Dee leaped back, leaving her dagger in Sassy's shoulder to attempt to fight the poison with Cosmic energy but it was too late.

She fell to her knees, looked to the side with her final view before she died being to see Melinda's sword sticking out of Tee's back with both of his arms limp by his side having been burned completely and rendered useless by Melinda's Ordinance flames even before she stabbed him and ended his life.

There were multiple burned scars on the silent Assassin's body that showed he had sustained even more injuries and the sword stab was merely a definitive end to a battle that was unequal in the favor of the golden-eyed beauty from the moment It began.
