Chapter 204: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 7
Kayn soon cleared the first floor and second floor of the library.
As expected, every single people present in the library were members of the Assembly of Freedom who are hiding from the flames of war currently taking place outside.
Apparently, because this is a library, people would not think of looking for members of the Assembly of Freedom inside.
Unfortunately for them, this was the place those men Kayn had beaten up at the alley of the tavern went after waking up.
"Where could possibly Natas be," Kayn is still searching for Natas as the latter didn't show up after he entered the library.
It wasn't troublesome though since he is still progressing smoothly. The only problem is he still hasn't found a clue where Cade is right now.
"Natas is mostly likely with Cade right now. So, as long as find him, I'll also be able to find the fourth Executive of the Assembly of Freedom," Kayn pulled out his dagger from the head of the man he just killed.
"Time to go to the third floor," Kayn looks up to the last remaining floor of this library.
It didn't take him long to find the stairs to the third floor.
He quickly went up, but just when he was about to reach the floor, dozens of arrows shots in his direction.
Bang! Bang!
Kayn swiftly evaded all the arrows. Afterward, he looks up to see where it came from.
Two men holding a crossbow each were blocking his way.
"Assigning to marksmen to block my path? He shouldn't be stupid," Kayn smirks.
In the next moment, Kayn hurls himself forward.
Whoosh!
Two arrows were shoot in Kayn's direction.
He easily evaded the arrows, and with a three-hundred-sixty-degree turn, he threw a pair of daggers at the two men.
The two men weren't expecting Kayn's move, so they were unable to evade the attack on time.
Kayn passed by the two men as their dead bodies started rolling down the stairs.
Clang!
Kayn immediately raised his Molten Ice Sword to block two swords aimed at him. He immediately raised his right foot to send a kick to the man on the right side.
Bang!
Afterward, he slid forward to slip away from the stalemate before stabbing to his rear.
He quickly pulled out his sword which is now covered in blood and swing it at the man he just kicked.
Clang!
The sound of metal hitting against metal was heard as the man blocked Kayn's attack. But what the man didn't realize was that it was exactly what Kayn wanted him to do.
Kayn waved his left hand and a dagger immediately appeared. "This is the reason why you should master two weapons,"
He stabbed the man's heart before kicking him forward to the two men rushing at him.
"You guys just won't stop," Kayn looked down below and saw the sword of the man he just killed. A thought immediately pops into his head.
He flicked the hilt of the sword using his feet and as the sword flew in front of him, he kicked its hilt once again to send it flying to the man on the left.
Bang!
It was a clean and direct hit to the head.
Quickly after, he lunges forward to engage with the man to the right.
Whoosh!
In just a brief moment, Kayn killed six men who tried to ambush him.
He looked around his surrounding, waiting for the next wave of attack. But after waiting for tens of seconds, no one appeared.
"Was that all of them?" Kayn felt slightly disappointed. He was expecting dozens of people waiting and lying in ambush, yet not even half of that number appeared.
"I guess I've killed most of them on the first and second floor," Now that he thinks about it, he had killed close to fifty people before coming up to the third floor. Normally there would only be thirty or forty men around each Executive, so these six people should be the last remaining in his squad.
Walking around the rows of bookshelves, Kayn soon notices a shadow that moved very swiftly to his right side. "Is he an assassin?"
Since he already found a clue to where Cade is, he immediately followed the direction of where the shadow was going.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, two daggers went flying in Kayn's direction.
"You mess with the wrong person," Kayn easily parried the pair of daggers without affecting his movement.
"It seems like I won't be able to catch him if I continue with this method,"
While running, Kayn started looking for alternatives to catch up with the shadow.
"That's it,"
In the next moment, Kayn jumped on top of the table in front of him. Upon landing, he jumped once again in order to get on top of the bookshelves.
From there, he started jumping from one bookshelf to the other.
After a few jumps, Kayn notices that he is getting close to the shadow.
Aside from the shadow, he also notices Natas following very closely.
"Kayn?" Natas quickly saw Kayn.
Without needing to ask it, Kayn immediately understood that the shadow is Cade.
"Let me make you stop running," Kayn waves his hand, immediately throwing two daggers in the location of where Cade was going.
Bang!
As expected, Cade immediately stopped running in order to jump back in time to evade the pair of daggers.
Whoosh!
Before Cade could land on the ground, a sword wave came in his direction.
Bang!
Cade quickly turned around and raised his two daggers to block the attack.
Boom!
Kayn was slightly surprised to see that his sword wave exploded upon making contact with the daggers on Cade's hand.
Although a sword wave is made out of mana, its penetrating power isn't something to underestimate about.
The only explanation as to why it instantly exploded was because Cade isn't just using two ordinary daggers.
As an expert with daggers, Kayn easily understood the reason why. "You used magic diamonds to make your daggers?"
Magic diamonds are diamonds that have been exposed to mana for a very long time. They basically possess ten to twenty times the natural ability and attributes of ordinary diamonds. Hence, their price is always astronomical.
With those factors into consideration, magic diamonds are one of the best materials used in making weapons and equipment as they possess natural resistance to damage and when sharpened, they become one of the deadliest and sharpest objects.
Cade simply smile in response.
"I would definitely not let you go," Kayn instantly became interested in Cade's dagger and plans to steal it for himself.
