[Assassin POV:]

We received word that a convoy transporting 3 rich nobles was to come our way. Protected by only 20 soldiers, this was a rare opportunity to fill our empty treasury. Being a bandit is difficult but we had survived thus far by being especially careful of who we attacked, making sure not to leave witnesses and never moving when jumpers were around.

This time it was 2 young, rich nobles accompanied by their mother. Easy picking. We made sure to keep a safe distance from them and coerced a passerby into giving us information about their little convoy. They would arrive at our location in an hour.

As we waited for them to arrive something that shouldn't happen, happened.

“Well hello there young lady.” (???)

With my incredible speed I jumped back and readied myself for battle. There, in front of me stood 5 tall cloaked figures giving off a vibe of insurmountable strength. My 6th sense told me it was the moment of my death and that I could only accept it.

“Are you perhaps thinking of attacking the convoy that's coming this way?” (???)

Unaware that these nobles had backup I quickly lied and said no. The man standing in the middle removed his hood allowing me to see his face. A man looking to be in his late 30's early 40's with bright red hair and terrifying yellow eyes. [Identify]

“Urgg...” (Assassin)

“Kukukuku* Don't worry, we are not here for you. Actually you will help us. If you want to live, you will attack them like you had planned and will do everything you can to keep them busy.” (???)

“What is your objective?” (Assassin)

“None of your business. Just know that when you begin to encounter difficulties, we will take care of the rest.” (???)

Difficulties? How are we supposed to struggle against 3 nobles? I don't like this at all why are such intimidating fellows even interested in them? I can smell a trap from miles but I am now stuck. I can't consider disobeying them.

The feeling of pure power floating around them was simply overwhelming and seemed to announce impending doom. I have no other choice than playing along for now. Curse my luck.

One hour later we did like we were supposed to. We attacked from all directions taking them totally by surprise. Everything was going well, the soldiers were dying one after the other as we gradually made it closer and closer to the carriage.

As for me I stayed in the shadow ready to intervene if any problems were to arise. Suddenly one of the young nobles got out of the carriage with an annoyed expression on his face. He grabbed one of my men by the face and made his head explode in millions of pieces.

Gaspp* So he was the reason these dangerous looking men were here. This young man wasn't a simple noble but was a powerful mage. Mages are weak and slow so I was still confident in my ability to deal with him when he began to use weird magic.

Wanting to learn his abilities before acting I waited and watched as he murdered my men one by one. I had witnessed him using a lightning based ability and a plants based one. Clay and lighting? This young man had the 4 basic elements? No wonder powerful people were after his life.

Using my stealth skills I closed in on him and stabbed him in the back.

Stab* Critical -750HP

“Urggg!*” (Kneeko)

This was my best skill and should have been a one hit kill but this bastard only lost a fraction of his health so I repeated the same action once more.

Stab* Critical -570HP

Uhhmmm Still not enough. Even the home made poison on my blades didn't seem to affect him. I readied myself for a long battle when something unexpected happened.

“KIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” (Kneeko)

A sound that could only be described as blood chilling forced me to hold my hands over my ears. All I could now hear was the distinct ringing sound in my ears. My eardrums must have been ruptured as I could feel blood trickling out of them.

Panicked, I quickly backed away trying to widen the distance between us with my legendary lightning speed. The young (by the way beautiful) man suddenly transformed into some type of big cat and bolted toward me at a speed he didn't have before.

My only hope was to lure him into the forest and use the trees to my advantage. Running into the forest the young man followed me like a predator unwilling to let his prey get away. The anger in his eyes made me shiver in fear. What have I gotten myself into.

[Kneeko POV:]

This annoying assassin was as fast as lightning and I had difficulty keeping up with him as we got deeper and deeper into the forest. I was waiting for him to attack me once more but he kept running like the slippery cockroach he is.

Having targeted him as my prey I wouldn't let him get away no matter what. Tired of running I stopped and began flicking my tongue in and out keeping track of his location. What's this smell? This was not how humans usually smell.

The smell of this assassin had a distinct smell reminding me of this stupid golden winged cat from back in the dungeon. Could this assassin be a demi-human? The cat type? Highly likely from the smell. I stood there immobile keeping my attention on him.

BOOOOOOOOOOommmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!*

Suddenly something unexpected happened. Turning my attention back toward where our carriage should still be I could only see a giant cloud of smoke. The assassin took the opportunity to launch at me but since I hasn't stopped flicking my tongue I saw it coming and did a round house kick that sent him crashing into the forest.

Now my attention wasn't on the assassin anymore, something ominous was happening back to where mother and sister were. I had a very bad feeling about it.

ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!*

A blood chilling roar suddenly erupted from the location of the explosion dispersing the giant cloud of smoke. Then what I saw sent shivers down my spine. A giant red dragon was currently rampaging in a fit of rage. Mother?

Immediately after 4 more dragons suddenly appeared and began fighting with the dragon I suspected to be Anastaria. What is going on? Dragons are attacking us? Panicking I quickly made my way back to where they were fighting and understood why mother was rampaging the way she was.

All the soldiers were dead and next to the carriage laid a big heart and few other items in the middle of a puddle of gore. Irene? Rage suddenly began boiling inside of me. To work in a group, these had to be pure blooded dragons.

“ROAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!” (Kneeko)

FUCKERS!!!!!!!!! I WILL KILL THEM ALL!!! I should have expected them to keep track of Anastaria's movements. They most likely discovered what she was planning to do and decided to kill the threat before it became too hard to deal with.

I grabbed Irene's heart and placed it in my inventory ring next to Irya's core. Both sisters were now reunited in death and I had no intention of letting their deaths go unpunished. I didn't have time to wait anymore. I needed to take drastic actions even if it killed me in the process, now was not the time to grief.

Monster Rank UP!Phoenix (1 of 3)Quickly Nii-chan! Pick this one!

Da fuq sister! Why are you telling me to pick this one when it's the only choice I have? And she didn't even bother adding a proper description. It's not even a dragon DAMMIT! Being left with no other choice, I picked the only choice available to me. Like before my body began to glow in a bluish light as my body expanded.

I grew, grew and grew until I became as big as a mountain. My shadow darkened the entire area as I was even bigger than mother. Once I was finished growing, my entire body suddenly burst into flames. I wasn't casting a shadow anymore and my body seemed to be made out of pure red flames only.

The usual message boxes began popping out but having no time to read at the moment I closed them without paying attention to them. Me being a phoenix meant that our plans had failed. I would never become a pure blooded dragon.

Since I am a highly adaptable individual, it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. Instead of becoming a pure blooded dragon I would become something completely different aimed at destroying them instead. I would become their nemesis, the god of fire and rebirth, the immortal phoenix. The being who will bring justice upon those who dared kill my little sister.

“CROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” (Kneeko)
