Assassination System-Chapter 181 Inconceivable Even

"Big bro, you better help me with these guys, I promise that I won't hurt you when everything is done and well..." Dan sent a voice transmission towards the Thunder Winged Tiger and the two of them stared at each other for a moment.

It would normally be unreasonable for a beast to cooperate with humans but when it saw the earnest and determined eyes of the young man, the Thunder Winged Tiger nodded its head and supported Dan by creating openings that he could exploit.

Dan's comprehension regarding the Lightning Laws was higher than the Tiger so he easily absorbed its energy and recover his own injuries, taking a glance at the condition of the three brothers, Dan signaled and Natalie stepped forward from the carriage.

Activating the Second Stance of the Blessing of the Lightning God, Natalie's hair turned azure and her eyes shone in the same light, encompassed by Lightning, Natalie's speed and destructive capabilities surged, but as soon as she entered the milky-white fog, her presence disappeared like a bubble.

Malachi and his two comrades were horrified, one moment, her presence was surging, but in the next instance, all traces of her disappeared. Gnashing their teeth, the three of them endured the raging attacks of Dan and the Tiger along with preparing themselves for Natalie's assault.

Lightning and Fire scattered throughout the entire forest, turning it into a hellish purgatory of scorched earth. The three brothers lumped together inside the mist, taking a jade bottle containing several ominous looking pills, they nodded their heads in resolve before chugging them down.

"Health bar and Qi Reserves are increasing? What the hell is going on?" Dan covered in Stealth mumbled under his breath, the sudden recovery of the three astonished him as he sent a voice transmission towards Natalie's direction.

"Natalie, go back! Don't come in here!"

Natalie stiffened upon hearing his panicked voice, taking a step backward, she turned around and dashed towards the direction of the forest as a Fiery Asura manifested and destroyed the milky-white mist that enveloped them, revealing their current condition.

Two of the three brothers stood at the Asura's shoulders while the other stood above its head. The fires from the Asura looked thicker and redder than before and the heatwave that it emanated caused burns on Dan's skin as he painfully shrieked and retreated in a hurry.

The Thunder Winged Tiger moved its gigantic body away and observed the Fiery Asura with solemn eyes. Energy fluctuations from the Fiery Asura indicated that it had a cultivation of the Peak Divine Soul Realm.

[Results: Consumption of Cultivation and Strength Increasing Pills.]

[Suggestion: It's okay, fam. I gotcha, just don't be a wuss and we can definitely defeat that guy.]

[Generating three-dimensional image and labeling weak points.]

With a quick scan from the System, a three-dimensional holographic image of the Fiery Asura floated on Dan's peripheral vision. However, these weaknesses were at a great height of about five meters, and couldn't be reached without jumping and exposing himself.

"Brats from the Paradyne Academy whose lips are still wet from your mother's milk. Do you really think that you could easily defeat us just because you have this cat as your comrade?" Malachi laughed wildly, "Once we took care of this little cat, your death will soon arrive, forget about struggling, I bet that you can't even move near our current body..."

Dan ignored Malachi's threat and checked the conditions of his two brothers. Seeing their tranquil expression and closed eyes, Dan understood that it required complete participation from the two with Malachi as the Chief Controller of the Asura.

The Asura raised its arm and a fiery sword manifested in its palms, before sending a downward slash at the direction of the weakened Thunder Winged Tiger.

Roaaar!

The Thunder Winged Tiger gave a defiant howl and summoned everything that it had in an effort to defend against the downward slash. Lightning clashed with fire and the Tiger's body flew backward, striking several gigantic trees before it stopped and moved no more.

"Damn it..." Dan clicked his tongue when he saw the draining life force of the Tiger, directing his gaze at Natalie, the two simultaneously nodded their heads. Although their enemy had greater strength than them, that power was temporary and once it dissipated, a period of weakness would follow.

For now, their goal was to protect Grace and wait for the backlash of the pills that they consumed.

Natalie ignited the second stance of her Divine Art and Dan activated the first stance of his Divine Art. Lightning consumed their bodies and the two of them stood together with their weapons in tow. Natalie's soft sword gently swayed in the air like a whip while Dan wielded both of his daggers, his eyes shining in a fierce light of battle intent.

Bang!

Thunder rumbled and the earth collapsed under Dan and Natalie's feet as they simultaneously sent a volley of lightning bolts at the Fiery Asura's torso.

Unfortunately, when the bolt of lightning struck the Asura, it merely collapsed into nothingness without doing any damage.

"It's useless, it's useless unless your comprehension of the Fire Laws is higher than us, there's no way that you could find our weaknesses and even possibly damage us in this state!" Malachi shook his head and laughed out loud, the struggles of the two amused him and seeing them try and try again to no avail, delighted him.

Indeed, without high enough comprehension, it should be impossible to find the Asura's weakness. Natalie glanced at Dan and saw his determined and serious look. Nodding her head, she chose to follow her husband's decision and attacked at the spot where he's attacking.

Wielding both of his daggers, Dan entered a strange state where only he and his enemy existed. All sound disappeared and he felt incomparably peaceful while dancing across the battlefield. With each swing of his arms, a part of the Asura would crumble down.

"This brat..." Malachi's eyes widened in shock, Dan's movements looked amateurish and mediocre, yet his attacks were accurate and always aimed at a crucial spot. Not only that, his degree of mastery with his daggers was at the level where he could wield it like it was his arms.

Malachi's eyes flashed in a venomous light as the Asura waved its arm, a five-meter-wide column of fire shot downwards and flew towards Dan's direction. As it neared the ground, the earth melted like hot chocolate.

Dan didn't feel afraid of the fire from the column, but the Spiritual Energy contained within the attack was at the Peak Divine Soul Realm and something that he couldn't possibly endure. Stopping his movements, Dan predicted the arrival of the column and instantly activated Flicker just before it could hit him.

The beam of fire went through his initial location and bore a hole on the earth. Several seconds later, Dan reappeared behind the Asura as cold lights flashed from his dagger. Chunks of fire-like flesh crumbled from the Asura as Dan hurriedly screamed.

"Switch!"

With his command, Natalie arrived by his side as fast as lightning and sent a palm strike and horizontal slice at the Asura's weak points. Malachi's expression distorted into anger and humiliation. As the controller of the Asura, he was clearer than anyone about its current condition.

The sheer size of the fifteen-meters tall Asura restricted its mobility and Malachi couldn't counter-attack even if he wanted to, sending waves after waves of fire beams that hit nothing but thin-air, Malachi became increasingly crazed.

Dan and Natalie knew that once a single attack landed on them, they would definitely be severely injured or even die. Making sure that they were out of reach by the Asura's hands, they skillfully maneuvered around its body and sent devastating attacks on its weak points.

With both husband and wife that thoroughly understood each other, words were useless and with mere eye signals, the two communicated and planned their approach and attacks.

This caused an enormous headache for Malachi as his eyes reddened in rage and his figure slightly quivered in shame. Lifting his head, a vicious idea suddenly entered his mind.

"If I cannot kill you, then I will make sure to bring one of you down to hell with me!" Malachi fired a concentrated beam of fire towards Grace's direction. His plan was to stop their movements by distracting them so that they would reveal an opening. However, seeing that they merely shrugged and continued on their onslaught, his expression changed.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing...Do you not care about that mortal girl in the carriage?" Malachi uttered in disbelief, Dan and Natalie stared at each other for a moment before saying, "That girl is more reinforced than us, I bet that even if the five of us worked together, we can't even pierce her defenses in a single attack..."

This astonished Malachi, someone that had such a strength could easily crush them, yet why didn't she stepped forward and attacked them by herself?

"What do you mean...Are you saying that she's more powerful than all of us combined?" Malachi mumbled while sending a column of fire at Natalie's direction. Natalie merely side-stepped and dodged his attack before saying with a small smile, "It's because she's protected by that overly-protective man right there that stuffed her robes full of defensive talismans and a Heaven Grade Artifact..."

As her words fell, the beam of fire struck the carriage, burning everything into ashes. As the dust settled down, a coughing Grace could be seen amidst the destruction. Her figure and clothes remained pristine but her expression distorted into anger.

"You're forcing my hand!" Covered in the dozens of resplendent lights from the triggered defensive talismans and the milky-white light from the Heaven Grade Artifact, Grace ran towards the battlefield and amidst the three's shocked gazes, she rammed herself on the Asura's foot, sending it falling on the ground as cracking sounds echoed out from her defensive talismans.

"Hmmph! Defense is the strongest offense!"

She declared with her arms crossed together.
