chapter 12
12 – 12.
“Whoa… ?”
Frio, who pulled her body back for a moment at the impact of the aura hit, exclaimed in admiration.
To think he was hiding so close to him, avoiding his feelings as a Master.
“Assassin? It’s been a while since I’ve seen the Master Assassin again.”
Unlike Prio, who spits out his words in interest, the assassin Khan who appeared was very nervous.
Now, they finally exchanged agreements, but unlike Prio, who was fine, Khan’s mouth was covered with blood, showing the gap between the two.
“Shouldn’t you have attacked as soon as I entered this room? If so, there must have been some possibility.”
In spite of Prio’s sarcastic remarks, Khan didn’t respond and raised his sword and glared at Prio.
“Dude, why are you staring at me for something like a joke?”
Because hiding from the master’s feelings and ambush avoiding the feelings are completely different stories,
Prio did not lose his composure despite unexpected circumstances.
“Your Excellency Marquis. Stop fooling around and surrender. Do you know Will His Majesty the Emperor generously leave at least His Excellency’s family?”
As if the appearance he had shown before was a pretense, Frio holding the sword even mocked the Marquis.
“Don’t say anything you don’t believe in yourself.”
The Marquis Gior, who was sitting still in the seat of the conversation, spoke calmly.
Tak!
Khan, who was looking for a gap, kicked the floor and charged Prio, and suddenly disappeared in front of him, then appeared from behind Prio and swung his sword.
Kwaaang!
Once again Aura collided with Aura, but this time Kahn was greatly pushed aside.
Looking at Khan, who broke the wall of his office and flew away, Frio took a leisurely step.
“Your Excellency Marquis, please stay here as I will be back soon. There will be nowhere to run to anyway.”
Our members have already besieged His Excellency’s mansion.
After speaking, Frio kicked off the ground and moved his body in the direction Khan flew.
___________________________________________
‘It’s stronger than expected.’
Because it is the Hwangyoung Knights, whose exact information is not known, we have not been able to find out the exact inaction.
Even if there is a difference in compatibility between an assassin and a knight, being pushed this far means that there is a difference in the realm.
I can’t do it alone. Having concluded that, Khan took out a small signal flare from his bosom and fired it.
“Oh, a call for reinforcements? It’s been a while since the outside of the mansion was surrounded, so if you want to call them, you’ll have to call those inside the mansion.”
Frio approached before he knew it and spoke to him while lightly brandishing his sword.
It was a sword attack that was wielded for fun, but the result was by no means light.
Looking at the scars left on the ground as if they had been scratched by a huge beast,
Khan hid himself as if he had disappeared again.
“Is that a joke again? I’m getting tired of it now.”
Seeing the disappearing Khan, Frio spread his aura and widened his senses.
“Oh?”
Concentrating on his senses, Frio was able to notice the numerous assassins surrounding him.
Prio was surrounded by assassins, and the rest were surrounded by the Imperial Knights.
“Kill.”
At Khan’s order, dozens of assassins rushed at Prio all at once.
Quaaagh!
A single sword.
A handful of blood was scattered from Prio’s sword.
“Wow, what kind of a marquise family has so many assassins?”
Originally, Auras do not have properties.
Because it’s just pure energy, the things knights and other warriors can do with Aura are more limited than you think.
To strengthen the body, strengthen the sword, and explore the surroundings.
However, the master’s aura is different.
Because they are the ones who establish the small world inside their bodies and turn the result into reality, the master’s aura follows the master’s image.
Thus, masters embody their will in reality, ignoring the laws of the world.
Though dozens of assassins exploded right in front of their eyes, the remaining assassins kept their eyes on Prio without wavering.
“I get tired of it.”
As Frio swung his sword wide, the assassins surrounding him burst out all at once,
Kan, who was aiming for that gap, quickly dug into Frio and swung his sword.
Quaaagh!
I confirmed that it was a gap, but I probably didn’t have time to retrieve the sword I swung.
The sword that Khan wielded failed to cut Frio, rather it was thrown away.
“I don’t think he was a complete master, was he half?”
“Just about… what was it?”
To Khan’s question, Frio answered with a grin.
“Um… How do I explain this?”
“Have you ever heard the saying that the best offense is defense?”
Frio swung his sword again and continued talking while arranging the remaining assassins.
“My favorite adage. No matter how fast and sharp the attack is, isn’t it enough if it doesn’t reach in the end?”
“Everybody run away.”
At Khan’s order, the surviving assassins all retreated, but Frio did not pursue them.
“Well, in conclusion, I can block any attack. At any angle, at any speed, in any posture I was in.”
Ha.
Kan let out a laugh and murmured softly.
“That is absurd.”
“Well, isn’t the world originally like that? Your hiding wasn’t bad either. You don’t seem to have reached the level you reached with your own abilities, can I ask how you did it?”
“… Kill.”
“Well, if that’s the case.”
—————————————————————
“This is strange… “
After the battle, Frio muttered as he walked back to his marquis’s office.
“It wasn’t that strong. This would have been enough for our members to deal with.”
Since the stealth was quite good, even if one person was killed in the first attack, it doesn’t make sense that all the other four were killed.
“Are there other masters?”
Well, you can ask the marquis.
Thought so, Frio arrived at the office and found the Marquis lying dead in a chair.
The medicine bottles strewn around the dead Marquis were announcing the Marquis’ suicide.
“Oh, damn it. “
I’m going to get scolded by the captain.
———————————————————————
Giel Bendio, the leader of the Hwangyeong Knights, left his subordinates in the care of Prio Constantia and headed for the mansion alone in the forest.
According to reports from his subordinates, this is a place where you can feel the energy of a strong man presumed to be a master.
Probably the guy who brought the Lute guys out of the prison of the Triel family.
It was unsettling to entrust the work of writer Hu to Prio, who was not good at handling things, but he couldn’t entrust the task of dealing with an unknown master, so there was no other way.
The mansion is protected by several barriers, so it was difficult for ordinary people as well as quite a few warriors and wizards to notice it.
But it wasn’t enough to fool Giel’s eyes.
Taking out his sword, Giel lightly cut through the barrier and moved towards the main gate of the mansion.
How many steps did he take, and when the mansion got quite close, dozens of spears of lightning struck Giel with a piercing sound that pierced the air.
“Tsk.”
It was eaten by the shadow that rose from behind Giel and disappeared without a trace.
Immediately after that, a greatsword covered in red aura rushed at Giel,
Giel responded with a sword wrapped in a black aura.
Immediately after that, an enormous shock wave exploded with a roar that seemed to pierce the heavens and earth, and the trees filling the surroundings were shattered and blown away.
“Ha ha ha ha! Feel so good!”
The giant with the red greatsword, who exchanged a sum of money, introduced himself with a satisfied smile.
“Knight’s knight, Bern Bissein!”
“I am the leader of the Hwangyeong Knights, Giel Bendio.”
Giel asked Berne with his sword pointed.
“You are accused of helping the survivors of Lute who dared to harbor resentment against His Majesty. If you’re innocent… “
“hahahaha, yes. I helped them What now!”
Looking at Vern shouting confidently, Giel shouted with a distorted face.
“You arrogant bastard! You will be sentenced to death on charges of treason!”
“If you can, try it!”
The two masters collided with red and black energy mixed in a mess.
———————————————————————
Mage Sylvia bit her lip and frowned.
‘What should I do… ‘
The ambitiously prepared surprise attack had no effect, and the knight commander Hwang Young was not pushed back by Bern’s successive attacks.
I can’t even get in touch with the Marquis Gior, who wanted to receive support.
Every time Bern and Knight Commander Hwang Young increased their distance, they fired lightning, but
I was just blocked by that damn shadow.
It was a self-lightning that would burn up ordinary knights at once, but it didn’t work for that mysterious shadow.
Bern’s attack, which he thought would be unmatched in a head-to-head confrontation, was easily received by Hwangyeong Knights Commander.
Judging from the fact that his gaze turns this way every time he shoots lightning, his location has already been revealed.
As soon as he gathered his mana to prepare for the great magic, it was certain that he would charge at him, leaving Vern alone, so he couldn’t even do anything about it.
“This is… “
A communication phrase connected to the King, not Gior.
After making contact with the ‘king’ through her communication port, Sylvia ran to Vern.
——————————————————
“Hmm?”
When I competed with her knight named Vern for a few moves, I suddenly saw a woman running this way.
Looking at the position, it seems like a mage who has been shooting lightning since a while ago, looking at his skills, he probably looks like a mage, but he suddenly closes the distance?
She didn’t know what might come, so she raised her aura a little nervously, and the woman pulled out a small jewel from her bosom.
“Huh?”
The jewelry was broken, and the woman and Vern disappeared somewhere surrounded by a halo of light.
“What is this… “
Giel, left alone in the half-broken mansion, had no choice but to stand there blankly.
