Henry has knocked out the big guy which entered first, then stealthily climbed to the ceiling, waiting for the next enemies. When the five men entered back to back, trying to cover each other's blind spots. They moved forward slowly, ready to attack at the simplest movement or sound. When they were right below Henry, he fell in the middle of the formation they created, and spun like a spinner, cutting the knees of them all with his two small daggers. He cut their knees' ligament, which was way easier to harm than the bones themselves, but would still incapacitate the enemy. As they stayed near each other and were concerned more about their front or sides where the enemy could attack, they were leaving their backs to each other.

*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

*Thump!

*Aaaarg!

All of them fell practically at the same time, making the dust on the floor rise up. They started to shout not long after from the pain, asking for help from their comrades outside. The rest six men were already entering the building with their swords unsheathed. This time Henry couldn't evade a frontal clash, so he positioned himself advantageously, waiting for the enemy to make the first move.

The enemies encircled him, and a game of "who attacks or shows weakness first" started. Henry decided not to drag it out, so he faked an attack forward, then, while the enemies started already moving forward to attack his supposed position, he turned around abruptly and attacked the enemy opposite his previous target. He parried the incoming sword with one of his daggers, then slashed the throat of the bandit with a clean cut, harming some of the most important and dangerous arteries and veins.

*Pshhh!

Blood started to gush out of the man's neck, while he was holding it with both his hands, trying to stop the pain and the leak of blood. After such a wound, it was impossible for him to survive, so Henry didn't try to finish him. He evaded an attack from two closest to his position enemies by jumping backwards, then he dashed forward while evading their swords, inserting his daggers in their throats. Seeing his performance, the other three were scared and became unsure of their own abilities. A single man managed to neutralize nearly 10 of them single-handedly, while three of those in a direct fight.

Sensing that they hesitated, Henry took two swords of those he killed, one in of his hands, storing his daggers in back. As those were short swords, not long swords, it wasn't that hard to use one in every hand. He faked another attack, making the enemy trying to evade, before throwing a ball on the floor. The ball exploded and a veil of smoke appeared.

*Boom! Sshhhh!

The smoke bomb was created based on the bombs discovered in the dungeon by Emily and her forces. While Emily waged war in the dungeon, Ledia continued to make bombs and develop them. This smoke bomb is one of their inventions. They discovered that if u put less eggshell's dust and put some herbs in the ball. Once it explodes, a veil of smoke from the reaction between the gunpowder-like dust and the herbs igniting is made. Emily gave some of these bombs to the special squad, as they were very helpful for retreating, assassinating, or taking the enemy by surprise.

Contrary to what you would expect, Henry didn't run forward to neutralize them, but retreated back. Suddenly, several figures appeared from the entrance, all clad in black, similar to Henry. Three of them got behind the remaining enemies and stunned them. Because of the spilled blood during the battle, the room had a thick iron smell.

"Good job, Henry. Where are those we came to save?" asked a woman walking forward. She was the captain of that group, Ecna Tovrei. She was one of the most powerful agents, with a high mission completion level. Her hair was of a very dark blue, similar to the night sky, with eyes of the same color. Even though she had muscles and power, she was looking extremely beautiful and appealing.

"All of them are in a dungeon hidden in this house. The head of the slavers was saying something about a backdoor, so he might be there already." he said while saluting someone of a higher rank.

"Let's go guys, we must protect the hostages from these little shits. You and you, stay here and look after them." said Ecna pointing at two of her agents, then hurried into the tunnel with Henry showing the way.

*Aahh!

When they were nearing the room where the girls should have been, several shouts and cries were heard. The group sped up their pace, and when they reached the room, they could see through the entrance the slave trader man and five of his goons catching the women and tieing them with a rope.

"These shits! I'll take the main one, you guys take the rest! Protect the women at all costs!" ordered Ecna and jumped into battle. Henry and his other six comrades rushed into the fight after her. All of them were excellent fighters and assassins as they could win against those goons 1vs2 pretty easily, but now they had the advantage, so it was like a child's play for them.

While Henry rushed towards his target, two goons were already dead. Seeing that, Henry's target took a woman close to him as a hostage.

"D-don't u dare ap-p-proach me or I will k-kill her!!!" he said stuttering, slightly pressing his blade against the girl's neck. Seeing this, Henry just got further angered, using his top speed to run towards him.

"You dare, you jerk?!" said Henry, and before the man could kill the captive, he threw a red small dagger. It was a blood equipment dagger, which could pierce and slice way easier than a steel one. That's exactly why Henry used a dagger made of blood instead of a simple one. It pierced the goon's hand, harming his nerves, making him lose control on his hand and involuntarily throw the dagger on the floor.

*Aarh!

He cursed out loud repeatedly, but before he could come to himself, Henry was approaching at an extreme speed. Henry first pullet out the dagger from his hand, making the man start another round of curses. Then stabbed the man with his full force into his head through his temple.

"Such people don't deserve to be spared! Are you ok, miss?" he asked the frightened woman. After seeing that she was fine, but just couldn't talk then, he took a look at the other's situation.
