Job Overview: Liber has been informed that two of the Elite Kou soldiers from the invasion are hiding at an inn in Remano.

Take these two soldiers out and await your next assignment.

It had been a few days since Liber had completed his first job from Octavius and his men. The red headed assassin had been making daily visits to the fountain at different times of the day ever since and was beginning to feel disappointed that there weren't more jobs coming his way. But Liber knew that it took time to gather information and if the slow income of jobs meant that Octavius' men were doing the extra research to ensure that Liber's marks were men who deserved killing, Liber was more than happy to endure the wait.

Finally, another job came through. This time as Liber removed the hidden stone and retrieved the parchment inside that held information about his targets Liber felt a sense of excitement and foreboding settle upon him. Returning the loose stone to its rightful place, Liber opened up the paper with his targets on it and silently read up on the information. It seemed that this time he was being sent to deal with a pair of men who were known for being highly destructive. The collateral damage they had caused on the night of the invasion was excessive and far more than what would have been necessary. Perhaps even their own commanding officers would have been appalled by the chaos they had inflicted upon the city.

Letting a smile curl upon his lips, Liber crumpled up the paper and held onto it to be burned later. Returning to his inn, Liber disposed of the document and prepared his things before heading out to the location where the two suspected sinners were last known to be residing. As with his last target, Liber had to make sure with his own eyes that these two Kou soldiers were indeed that. He also had to know in his own mind that it would be just to end their lives. The former slave was not fond of oppressing the freedom of others and there were few greater ways to do so than to take ones life from them without good reason. Assassin's Kiss needles secured in hidden locations all along his body and Swordsman's Cloth wrapped firmly around his abdomen, Liber was ready.

Unlike Rocky whom had been laying low in a shack outside the capital. These next two targets seemed to enjoy the high life far too much to accept such bare bones accommodations. They were staying at an establishment that served as extended living arrangements for wealthy traveling merchants and high class diplomats. Liber arrived on location just in time to spot the two well dressed soldiers leaving the building. Watching with a stalkers eyes from the rooftops, Liber hid within the darkness of night and followed the men as they made their way to a near by bar of equal expensive nature to the place they were staying. Liber could tell from their clothing that these men took appearances seriously and sought to be visually impressive even at a glance.

Dropping down the the streets below, Liber entered the flamboyantly decorated bar after the two men and took a seat close to them as though it were natural to do so. Ordering an expensive drink, Liber sat with his back to the two and listened in as the night progressed and liquor loosened their lips. It was difficult resisting the urge to kill the men right here and now as they didn't even require inebriation to begin talking with glee about some of the terrible things they were up to. One was involved in one of the underground slave trades to make money on the side and bragged about how sometimes he got to "play" with the goods before turning them over to be shackled and sold. The other seemed to find the stories amusing and shared his own of how he was making a good living off of shaking down local business for "protection money" lest he burn their shop to the ground with his magic tool.

Liber had heard enough long before the men were done drinking and stood to exit the building leaving behind a half finished glass of wine. There was no sense in finishing the cup when the drink's flavor had been turned so sour by the poor company. It was no longer a question of whether or not Liber would take the lives of these men. The only questions that remained was where and when. How was already a given. It would be painful.

Staking out the building from the roof tops once more, Liber waited for the two men to have their fill and head back to the building they were staying at. It was early morning hours where the moon was still high in the night sky and the streets were barren. Since there were no witnesses in sight around, Liber determined that now would be as good a time as any. No sense in letting these walking sacks of scum live a single day longer lest they spend those hours oppressing even more innocent people. Leaping down from the roof tops once the men had made their way to a slightly more abandoned part of the street, Liber landed in front of the two men announcing his presence to them both.

"See? I told you we were being followed." Raze said to Stormy with a nudge. The soldier replied with a grunt as he handed over a few gold coins to his partner. They'd bet on it. Liber's eyes narrowed and he began slowly walking towards the two men as he let out a miasma of killing intent that made his stance on this meeting quite obvious. He was there to kill the two men. But Stormy and Raze were not keen on dying tonight.

Both men drew their magic tools and began the attack first. Stormy lashed out with his fan performing a Vicious Wind and then again to follow up with a Dicing Breeze. Raze slashed with his blade and generated a large Fire Wall to compliment Stormy's own attack. Liber drew his Swordsman's Cloth as he was blown back by the wind and rose his arm with a twisting motion in his wrist which sent the blade into a Spiral Parry surrounding himself with a spinning coil of the blade. The cutting winds and the wall of fire both clashed against the shell of metal surrounding Liber allowing intense heat and small blades of wind inside, but both were only able to cause discomfort and no real damage was done to Liber's body.

The two Kou soldiers thought that their combo attack would have done the trick and let their guards down against the smoking cloud that remained where Liber had once stood. They were unprepared when Liber slashed his Swordsman's Cloth dispersing the cloud before he rushed both the men head on. Raze rose his magic tool katana to the sky to try and make a Rain of Flame fall upon Liber, but the fanalis was too quick and he cleared the distance to the two men with his fanalis speed before the balls of flame could ever rain down upon him.

With the gap between them closed, Liber performed a chop to Raze's forearm. The soldier's arm shattered under the impact of the blow and his magic tool fell to the ground. Stormy lunged out to strike Liber with his fan as his partner fell to his knees screaming in pain. The assassin was ready for the strike and leaned just outside of its reach before swooping inside Stormy's guard to perform a rising knee strike to his solar plexus. With the middle of his rib cage broken, Stormy also fell and dropped his weapons in favor of holding his wounds.

Liber then grabbed both men by their collars and dragged them into an alley where their screams would echo for another few minutes. Liber beat both of the men using his for arms and legs so it would look like they were pummeled by clubs and other blunt weapons. When Liber left the alley way, it was only after both soldiers had been given so many broken bones they would be dead from internal bleeding within moments of his departure. It would be a slow and painful exit from this world as Liber had deemed was suitable for these two men.

Liber would sent news to Octavius through the dead drop that the two soldiers were taken care of and await his next target.
