Sigh...
I sat on the red carpet in the trophy room, my mind totally exhausted.
"I couldn't even see his shadow.." I thought.
This power system really had some levels to it.
The library was a place filled with Countless knowledge I could absorb, I thought of that, but quickly dismissed the thought because, the guards in the front wouldn't let me pass.
The red robed assassin was faster than me by leaps and bounds, so I have to be more skillfu, And that means i need more knowledge.
The slash book I learned through the system, really came helpful in my fight with the female assassin. The way I welded the knife too so I need more.
I also thought of the super human boost package but I had to use that one as a last resort.
"Grey.." I heard Amy's voice one again.
I looked aboved to see the blonde maid hold a tray with a perplexed look on her face.
"You haven't eaten anything sinc morning so.." she paused.
"Just put the tray down," I sighed, dying a lot of times has really messed up my perspective on time, for her it had only been, a few hours since morning, but for me I felt like it had been days.
The tray or rice balls and stew tomato sauce was placed in front of me, my eyes followed the tray as my mouth inwardly watered.
"Thank you.." I said.
"Are you really going to eat it here?" She asked. Honestly I didn't car anymore, my life could probably end this evening so I just want to enjoy the little peace I had.
I dipped the rice ball into the stew sauce and took a bite, the sweetness exploded In my mouth and I groaned in delight.
This was tomato sauce stew with, rice balls, one of the very dishes I had mastered to cook over the years, the cooks really did their jobs exceptionally well.
I quickly ate the food and headed straight for the corridor, giving one of the empty trays to the maids passing by the corridors.
I had to reach the library somehow, but the two guards blocked my way, both of them wearing black masks.
I could go through the windows, but the shattering of glass would definitely attract the guards.
I thought about it for a moment and and an idea, now that I think about it the assassins naver really took the door, neither did he break into the windows.
"He must have gotten in through the ceiling vents" I thought, but there was no way I would reach the roof that high up.
In the end I had to rely on the blood ritual.
Immediately the maid leave I'll take out the female assassin, and rushed to the library unnoticed, then I'll absorb more books and stand a chance to win.
The night came like a creeping storm, and I stood at the kitchen exit once more.
Immediately the last maid exited, I activated the frist package of the blood ritual.
My vein glowed under my skin and my eyes flashed with a tint of red.
I lazily glanced at the counter were the female assassin sat relaxed brandishing her rainbow daggers.
Her hood lifed slightly revealing a slightly puzzled expression plastered across her face.
"Oh my a measly slave like you managed to notice me.. I'm actually kind of embarrassed" she chuckle Playfully.
I just rolled my eyes, this wasn't the frist time she had said this so it was starting to get boring.
"Just come at me", I taunted. "I don't have all day".
Her smile faded, and I reacted in an instant, turning around and landing a sweeping kick to her left side, this time she blocked the incoming attack jumping back and landing on her feet.
"What?." She blinked a few times looking at me with bewildered eyes.
"What you haven't seen a strong maid or what?" I asked.
"Stop waisting my time and just come at me".
The female assassin stood deep in thought, looking at me with an unreadable expression.
I don want to be the one to move frist but she was delaying, so I charged at her, with my extra points in speed I quickly got in front of her, delivering a right punch to her face, luv doged the actrack gritting her teeth a proceed to counter by stabbing her knife right at my chest.
I caught up to it already and used my punching momentum to channel a kick, delivering it so fast it looked like a red blur.
Boom*..
My feet collided with the assassins arm, and a cracking sound was heard.
"Argh..!"
The assassin groaned and she clutched her broken arm, kneeling in one knee she looked at me with a grit.
"Who are you..?"she groaned out those word as I stood above her.
"Oh Me..?" I pointed to myself, "I am nobody", I appeared behind her and with a quick jab the black assassin was left lying on the floor, unconscious.
This battle was a lot less damaging than the latter the kitchen was in one piece, and the walls were intact.
I quickly headed towards the library walking across the corridor, the knights laid dead in the rentrace as I paused open the door.
This time I was early, the library wasn't wreaked like it was in the previous lives, the shelves were perfectly arranged and the artistic chairs and tables stood unbroken.
The price sat beside the huge glass window, holding a book in his hands, now staring at me in confusion.
"Who told you to come in ? " He asked, slightly irritated.
I blinked a few times.
"Sir, if you were a bit more aware of your surroundings you would've noticed the assassin lurking behind that shelve over there planning a surprise attack against you"
The price eyes furrowed in confusion as he turned to the shelf I just pointed.
"Well, well, well" the t d robed gentleman stepped out from his position.
The prince's movement was instant, he got up form his seat unsheathing his sword in a single fluid motion facing the assassin.
"I can't quite fanthom how you noticed my presence, you slave" he glanced at me grinning.
"This is gonna be more difficult than I thought". I sighed.

I took in a deep breath.

I could also feel my blood deducing at a speedy rate.
" Your highness" I called out.
"What" The price, with sword in his hand replied, not taking his eyes off the assassin.
"I hope you can keep up" I got into my stance.
"Oh my," The red robed assassin looked at me, and then at the prince, he unsheathed the two short sword at his back look at us with a killer expression on his face.
"Come at me then".
