Garou Ga Kill

Chapter 11: Crushed

In Nightraid's hideout, Shelee entered the throne room where the rest of the assassins were gathering except for Bulat and Lubbock.

"I treated Bulat and Lubbock wounds, their injuries are not life-threatening but still bad enough to prevent them from moving for a while" Shelee said

"I'm more worried about their mental state than their physical one, especially Lubbock" Najenda said with a frown, making her subordinates shiver remembering Lubbock's....

"So Leone, What happened? And how many people ambushed you to end up like that?" Mine asked Leone, who was standing at the side silently, Leone shivered a little before looking back Mine and the others, who were all staring at her.

Leone took a deep breath then spoke bitterly "We were not ambushed, we have been attacked head-on. Also, it was a single attacker."

"What ?!" The Assassins were stunned

"It was that bastard from yesterday!" Leone said

"Again?! Didn't you beat him yesterday and forced him to run away?" Mine asked

"Yesterday, he was injured and tired, barely able to stand. Today, he was at full power" Leone said bitterly.

"He recovered to full power in a day despite his injuries and came back for a fight ?" Tatsumi said

"Yes, he is fully recovered. And Tatsumi, he came back to insult us, to crush us but not for a fight. After all, he was too strong to call it a fight, calling it bullying is more suitable" Leone said as she clenched her fists remembering Garou's might.

"Tell us everything" Najenda said in a grave tone. Three top assassins with Teigus losing against a single man was no small matter. She must get all possible information about such an individual.

Garou arrogantly and slowly walked toward the three assassins causing their instincts to scream danger, especially Leone, whos Teigu gave her animalistic nature. The assassins didn't hesitate even a moment. They went all out from the beginning; this time, their opponent was not someone they could afford to underestimate.

Bulat used his trump card and went invisible, while Leone moved forward to confront Garou. Unlike the previous time, she didn't charge thoughtlessly. Her previous experience told her that thoughtless brute attacks might provide her with nothing but more pain and suffering.

Leone got closer and prepared to punch Garou, who was still smiling without reacting to her attack. She suddenly stepped to the right opening a way for Lubbock, who threw few Knives toward Garou. Garou extended his right hand and caught the knives effortlessly. His smile didn't fade as he moved his hand like lighting to interrupt Leone's kick from the side with the back of his hand.

Leone seeing her attack blocked wanted to step back and attack again. However, Garou didn't allow her; he extended his hand and caught her leg. She felt as if an iron claw caught her. She wanted to struggle, but Garou didn't allow it, he rotated with her still in his hand and threw her to the back, hitting an invisible Bulat, who was about to hit him.

With their relationship and years of working together, the assassins developed a decent teamwork. Leone attracted Garou attention with her fake attack opening the path for Lubbock knives. Then she tried to land a kick using the chance provided by Lubbock. Finally, Bulat was going to hit Garou's blind spot while he was blocking his other two teammates. Sadly their plan didn't work, against any other person it would have been good enough to take them down or at the very least forcing them to use their trump card. And even with then, their escape was not assured, but against Garou, it was only a child play.

"Is that all of you got? Disappointing" Garou gave them a disappointed look angering the three of them. It is not that he expected much from them. He saw how sloppy they were in their first encounter. To Garou, they were a group of brutes with strength and speed above average, and that is it. They didn't possess the skill or discipline to face him, even if he had lesser speed and strength, he would still be able to crush them all the same.
