With Merlin's illusion abilities, he could completely create a small town-sized illusionary space in the real world, blurring the lines between what was real and what was fake. It could be said that this KTV room, and even the entire KTV, would now become their home turf. In fact, Merlin was very grateful to these few assassins for coming to them. At the very least, it allowed a certain crypter to use another method to vent the emotions she had suppressed for a thousand years. As long as she wasn't singing, everything was fine.
To some extent, these assassins were practically Merlin's saviors. Therefore, Merlin had to ensure that these assassins returned to paradise. For these assassins, that should be returning to the embrace of their True Lord.
Akuta Hinako held a bass guitar that had been completely broken in two. She glanced at the assassin who had been slammed into the wall, shrugged her shoulders, and slowly took off the mask she was wearing. She looked with great interest at the other two assassins. Heroic Spirits should be quite durable, right? It's a good chance to properly loosen up my somewhat stiff body.
Seeing the assassin she had slammed into the wall still trying to get up, Akuta Hinako took two steps forward. Once again, she shoved the broken bass in her hand directly into this assassin's mouth. The immense force sent the assassin's body slamming backward again. His head smashed back into the wall, almost breaking through it.
Perhaps having let herself go a bit too much, at this moment, this crypter uttered some slightly vulgar words.
"Just a few scumbags like you dare to disturb this old lady's mood? But since you're here, you can act as my punching bags so this old lady can get a good workout!!"
Akuta Hinako directly grabbed a beer from the table, quickly finished a can, and crushed it fiercely in her hand, as if wanting to crush the few assassins before her into the same twisted shape. At the same time, she looked at the masks on the faces of these two assassins, then looked at the prop mask she had been using for her death rock performance.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Akuta Hinako's face. "Your masks aren't bad. Let me just tear them off and use them as performance props."
The two Hassan clones swallowed hard. To be honest, was the girl before them, who was so ferocious, really human? She was basically a Berserker that had run out from who knows where!
However, although there was fear in their hearts, these two clones understood that their mission was to kill the girl before them. So, no matter how afraid they were, they would not retreat half a step. The two clones looked at each other, then charged forward together.
Akuta Hinako cracked her knuckles and charged directly at the two Hassan clones. This time, she didn't even plan on using a weapon. After all, how could using a weapon be as satisfying as feeling your fists connect with flesh? Merlin could only give a wry smile, then turn and walk to the door of this KTV room. On one hand, he would prevent these two Hassans from escaping. On the other, he used his illusion magic to prepare to renovate the entire interior of the room.
Merlin rubbed his chin. He reckoned that this battle probably wouldn't require his intervention. Perhaps if he rushed in and made a move, he would, on the contrary, be beaten up along with them by this clearly irritable big sister before him. So he should just obediently stay here and not let others disturb this irritable big sister.
In the room, looking at the assassins rushing towards her, Akuta Hinako directly raised her fist. She quickly reached out and grabbed, ignoring the blade to seize this assassin's wrist. At the same time, her palm and arm were also cut by the blade.
Looking at this Hassan clone she had caught, Akuta Hinako did not hesitate. She directly raised her fist and sent a punch at him. That non-human strength directly sent the Hassan clone's head snapping to the side. You must know, the current Akuta Hinako was not in a state where her power had not recovered. Before coming here to vent her feelings, this crypter had eaten a meal of Maoxuewang¹. Although it was not as good as fresh blood, and the amount of blood was not too much, it was enough for this crypter to recover most of her power, albeit only for a short time.
Akuta Hinako directly pinned one clone to the floor, then tore off his mask. She then took the weapon from the clone's hand and stabbed it into his throat. As a beautiful girl who had lived for over 2000 years, it was very normal for her to learn a bit of assassination and combat in her spare time.
Then, Akuta Hinako discovered that her injured arm was showing signs of paralysis. Purple and green veins spread outwards from the wound. The last Hassan clone shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. "Hey, look at that. So what if you have a stronger physique than us? We are assassins."
The personality of this last clone was perhaps a bit flighty and liked to show off. Seeing that his target was indeed showing signs of being poisoned, he had the thought of showing off.
"Your arm has no strength now. Perhaps you are also experiencing some tinnitus in your ears. Soon your vision will blur, and you will not be able to see me clearly. Then you will feel your mouth go dry, and even your heart will race, causing panic. And these toxins will, with the blood circulation brought by your accelerating heartbeat, rush quickly towards your heart."
The Hassan clone danced around, even twirling the dagger in his hand. At the same time, he took two steps back, seemingly prepared to retreat directly through the ventilation duct. "When the toxins rush into your heart, your heart will beat even faster. Finally, after reaching a critical point, pop~ it will explode. Of course, before that, it's very likely you will have already died from the massive rush of blood to your brain. But rest assured, because of the toxins we prepared, you will not feel any pain. You will only fall into a coma in a blur, and finally, die silently. This is the final mercy we assassins grant you. Hehehe."
The Hassan clone's hand was already on the ventilation opening. He then waved his hand, preparing to leave. However, he saw the girl before him suddenly curl her lips into a smile.
"Just this little bit of poison is nothing? Heh..."
Akuta Hinako directly lifted her head. Immense magical energy rapidly brewed in her body, and then her entire body rapidly expanded. "It's just poison. I just need to self-destruct once to get rid of the toxicity. Feel my resentment and my anger!!"
Under the dumbfounded gaze of this clone, Akuta Hinako directly blew up her own body, washing away all the toxins in it. At the same time, the power of the explosion also destroyed the entire room beyond recognition and took the life of this last clone.
