Fantasy Assassin in a modern world-Chapter 156 - Improvement

156 Improvement

After separating from Matsuri and his siblings, Loki’s movement changed, for with every step he made his presence seemed to be fading from the world. Loki was finally feeling comfortable with this new body of his, it took him nearly a year before he could adapt to it this well.

The people who noticed Loki jumping from building to building suddenly saw him disappear from their sight, most of the people who saw him were martial artists with powerful senses, but despite that, they were still unable to see how Loki disappeared. Some started to think that they might’ve seen a ghost.

...

Loki didn’t disappear from their sights as he simply became one with the surroundings he was there but at the same time not there. This was the breathing technique of his clan which he improved upon with the help of the annoying Spirit. Back in his old world, he would need to waste mana to use this technique, but now after modifying the technique there was no longer a need to use mana.

Loki could now use the modified breathing technique with minimal inner energy. Because of his mana interacting with his inner energy on a daily basis the inner energy his body produced was purer than any other person in this world. It meant that despite being a rank four martial artist, the quality of his inner energy was comparable to a Grandmaster’s but not the quantity.

...

Loki took out his gloves changed his shirt and wore a white mask. At this moment Loki had turned into Fade, he jumped on top of the tallest building and looked around at the destruction that the Giganteses had brought. It was a sight that Loki was used to seeing in his old world but he never expected to see it here in this world.

On the ground, Fade noticed a few martial artists trying to guide several dozen civilians toward a safe zone. Of course, he also noticed the Bear Gigantes that was killing those martial artists.

‘Ok then let’s see how much I have improved.’

.....

Fade locked onto the Bear Gigantes and jumped down from the tall building, onto a building near the rampaging Gigantes.

Fade made his mana burst into the surrounding area so that he could sense if there were any people inside the nearby buildings. It would seem that there were no longer people inside the buildings, once he was sure of this Fade manipulated his steel wires and spread them to find and bind the pillars of the nearby buildings.

After he was done binding key pillars he pulled the wires back to him destroying specific pillars of the foundation of the building making it collapse while sliding down towards the Gigantes.

The weight of a high-rise building fell onto the Gigantes burying it in the rubble. Fade was not yet finished with it, as he could still sense its breath. Fade then made the opposite building fall on top of the Gigantes. 𝗳𝔯𝒆e𝘸𝗲𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃𝘦l. 𝒄o𝓂

The people who were fleeing for their lives stopped to look at what was happening. As the dust cleared the group of people stared at Fade. Seeing them stop running Fade shouted at them.

“What are you people doing?! Quickly leave while I hold this thing back!”

The people were still quite stunned by what they saw, but when they heard what Fade said they were confused, even with that the Gigantes was still alive. Now despite hearing Fade say that the Gigantes was alive most of the people stayed to see if it was true. Some of the people even took out their phones to take pictures and videos.

“Did you people not hear me?! I said leave!”

Fade could not help but sigh as he looked at the foolish people. As his anger was rising Fade felt something strange, he suddenly felt the breath of mana. The pile of rubble that the Gigantes was under started shaking, no the entire area started to shake as of there was an earthquake. The pile of rubble then burst out hitting everything near it, a little bit of the rubble was about to hit some people, so Fade quickly used his steel wires to intercept them.

As Fade was busing catching the flying rubble, the Bear like Gigantes started changing forms, its brown fur turned red and was now covered with cement which formed into armor covering its entire body. The armor was only a physical representation of its defense but beyond that Fade actually saw that the Gigantes was being surrounded by earth spirits. The only ones who could see these earth spirits and ask for help were people that used mana.

This Gigantes was finally looking like one of the great monsters in his old world. Based on the mana it was emitting, it wasn’t at the level of those supreme beasts but in its current state, it was just a little weaker than the named monsters in Fade’s old world.

“You guys run away already, I’ll stall it for as long as I can!” The people continued to look dumbfounded which made Fade shout even louder. “What the f*ck are you guys doing! I’m already saving you for free, and you still won’t go! You people f*cking go already or I’ll be the one leaving!”

This time the people watching finally started fleeing again, before the martial artists fled with the others they faced Fade and gave him a martial artist’s salute.

Seeing the fleeing humans the Gigantes was about to give chase, but then something hit its face. Fade had flung one of the huge rubble that he caught a while ago. Fade then kept on flinging rock after rock at the Gigantes’s face, catching its attention.

“Come at me big guy!”

The Gigantes growled as it raised its paw and swiped it toward Fade who was able to evade by jumping backward. Unfortunately, even after evading the gust of wind created by the swiping motion of the Gigantes’s paw Fade who had jumped backward to evade was still blown away.

Fade was about to smash into a building, but before he reached it Fade twisted his body and pointed his arm forward.

“[Air Shot]” Fade had used a spell, a strong wind burst out of Fade’s hand hitting the nearby wall and slowing him down. Once he had slowed down a bit Fade did a mid-air somersault and landed on the ground.

Fade then quickly used his wires to fling himself upward evading the charging Gigantes that hit the building instead, destroying it. After evading the strike, Fade looked around and saw that the people were still close by.

“This is going to be one long day.”
