chapter 30
Finding the Hidden Girl – 4
“Are you worried?”
Offense answered my question a few seconds later.
“Made.”
Thankfully, the answer allowed him to determine his position and posture.
In this darkness, information is truly like gold.
[You idiot. You also gave him a piece of information like gold. Offense is an assassin. If you read his presence, then he must have read yours too.]
‘Well. Well, if we fight, we have the confidence to win.’
[In this darkness?]
As I was about to say something, I heard a woman’s voice.
“Maid? Maid, the immortal swordsman?”
“Are you Ariena?”
“No, that’s right. I’m Ariena. Please… please save me.”
“Sure. That’s what I came here for.”
Sreung.
At that moment, the sound of the sword being drawn resounded in the darkness.
Offense said.
“Ariana. Do not move.”
“Ugh.”
“I am so paralyzed that I wonder if I have ever been this sensitive in my life. If I feel anything other than Maid and I, I will unconditionally cut them.”
Ariena seemed to be able to clearly see her body trembling.
Offense told me.
“Did you know my abilities?”
“okay. It was a great magic trick.”
“I don’t even need to ask how…” And you’re going to answer that it’s the same as being a hero, right?”
“uh. Are you ready to take it a little more seriously now? Can Kayle do it like me?”
“……”
“Gently drop your weapon. and help me I’m going to kill the Demon King, but I don’t have enough staff.”
“Heh heh.”
A low laughter rang in my ears.
“I tried to assassinate Kayle.”
“yes?”
“There was a high-ranking yangban who called himself a hero and gained the trust of people. I have been commissioned.”
This is a secret that I did not know before the return.
My ears were pricked up at the curious thing.
“But it failed.”
“failure? Even with this shadow magic?”
“no. This magic must first check the shadow of the target with your own eyes. First, go far away and scan the target’s shadow with your eyes. The next step is to use magic.”
“……”
“Just at that stage, I made eye contact with Kayle. He smiled and waved at me.”
I swallowed a moan.
Needless to say, Offense must have been hiding his body by fully demonstrating his talent as an assassin.
It was so easy to see through the cover-up of a heroic assassin.
‘Also.’
Caled’s personality is second to none, and his skills are real.
Offense continued.
“At that moment, I had a strong curiosity about Kyle. It’s not shadow magic, it’s just enough to make me want to try it properly.”
“As an assassin, that’s an absurd idea.”
“I admit it. It was the first time I had that urge.”
He laughed lightly.
“Anyway, I got a big one…”
“I must have lost.”
“okay. He was terribly strong.”
Again, a light laugh was heard.
But soon, the laughter stopped.
“Are you that strong?”
“flaw. Try it.”
Having said that, I quickly drew my sword and swung it.
Kaka River!
I can’t see it, buried in darkness, but something hits my sword and falls to the floor of the rainwater.
A little star, a memorization commonly carried by assassins.
He blew that thing in my head with no fuss.
Offense said.
“Young-ae is under the bed.”
“Yes Yes?”
“Well, getting caught up in battle is a good picture for me too… but Maid will blow my head off if I do. You seem to be taking good care of you.”
Ariena seemed to quietly go under the bed.
Then she said something unexpected.
“He won’t kill you.”
“yes?”
“The Immortal Sword Master… No. No.”
“……”
“Because a hero doesn’t hurt people.”
uh, uh
Even after coming all the way here, we haven’t seen each other officially yet.
thank you so much.
Ariena’s presence soon ceased.
Offense smiled and said to me.
“It’s popular, yes.”
I smiled and answered.
“Well, it’s everyday.”
hey hey hey! chalkan.
As the battle began, Offense began to memorize in earnest.
I don’t know how he did it, but the trajectory of the little star, which should definitely fly from the front, changes every moment.
taat!
I jumped out of my seat and ran sideways.
The sound of memorization hitting the floor resonated in my ears.
“Don’t flirt with something like this and stick with it from the front?”
The answer came back with a piercing sound.
I hurriedly lifted my body to the side.
It was really dangerous this time, Little Star tore my collar and flew back.
‘You don’t even answer. Now, he’s going to completely hide his location.’
[okay. So you shut up too. Why are you giving yourself the location?]
‘I told you to attack. To see the direction the memorization flies and figure out where he is.’
[Reckless.]
‘Looks like that. It’s also pointless.’
Memorization was literally flying from all directions.
It seems that he is controlling the movement of memorization, or he is changing his position.
When referring to the memory before regression, the latter is more likely to be the correct answer.
‘I’m keeping my ears up like this, but I can’t hear a single scratching sound and change positions.’
After all, the bright name of death did not come for free.
That was then.
hey hey hey!
The direction of this wave was very strange.
“Over your head?”
I got cold and threw myself away.
Quang. breakage.
The sound of a small memorization about two fingers smashing the floor could be heard.
But what surprised me was the direction, not the power.
“How did you target my crown? Are you even clinging to the ceiling?”
Of course, I thought there would be no answer, but surprisingly, I hear Offense’s voice.
“I cannot say that the method is my means of earning a living. But I have to tell you this.”
“What.”
“I don’t know how to avoid my memorization in this darkness. It’s like acrobatics. I want to commend you.”
“……”
“But I also have little stars left. At this point, we are trying to increase the number of wins.”
“Are you talking about that? We wouldn’t be fighting a duel of knights either.”
“I don’t want to kill you.”
At that, I shut my mouth.
Offense continued.
“I still can’t choose between Kyle and you. So let’s do this. You will go to Cald with me.”
“……”
“And make a discussion about who the real hero is, you or him. Whether it’s arguing, punching, or gambling, it’s up to you.”
“Is the winning side on my side? Childish.”
“It’s a pretty serious matter for me.”
“What if you don’t like it?”
“Rejecting this in itself means that you are afraid of Kayle. Then I will just kill you without hesitation.”
I laughed out loud.
Then, with the blade pointed down, the right knee was bent.
Distribute exactly the same amount of force to your right arm and right leg.
This technique took a long time to prepare, so it was not often used in practice. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
“Don’t tell me either. I’m going to use a technique, so be careful.”
“……Hoo. Is there anything hidden?”
“A lot. I’m going to take one of them out and use it.”
“……”
“I don’t want to kill you either, do I? So, if you want to live, jump to the bed where Ariena is. Because I’m just going to cut it all down and leave it there.”
cheap
For a moment, a great silence enveloped the room.
“Try it once.”
A moment shorter than the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, hundreds of little stars started shooting at me ‘at the same time’ from front, back, left and right, up and down.
My five senses became extremely sharp and I realized that all of them were targeting my head.
It comes as a sheep, right?
Then don’t deal with this as a sheep.
[A sheep? Hundreds of memorization and only one of your swords!]
‘I’m not using this technique.’
[What skill… Don’t tell me!]
‘Great cut.’
[Aww.]
Among the quests I received, there was a many-to-one fight.
It is not difficult to deal with many enemies at once.
The problem was that there was a time limit on it.
So, we developed a technology that can cut hundreds of enemies with one skill.
That’s a huge cut!
-Hwii profit! Kaga Gaga River!
I swung my sword countless times as fast as the wind.
The amount of time for a general swordsman to take out a sword and put it in once.
During that time, I swung 211 times.
And in the orbit where the sword passed, Little Star collided with it and fell to the floor.
[Hey, what is this? It feels like this room is full of swords!]
‘Thank you.’
[Is this the ‘Sword Barrier’, one of your secret skills?]
‘It’s a huge cut.’
[ha. I put it on at the most.]
aah!
One of the swords that neutralized all the Little Stars flies away aiming for the offense.
“Wow! Nonsense.”
Offense followed my advice properly.
The guy was face and nabal, and without thinking he flew towards the bed.
In the place where he was, he just made a pounding sound that made his black ears sting.
profit. saa.
After the technique was over, nothing but silence was left.
‘My limbs are numb no joke.’
It’s a technique I’ve been writing for a long time.
“Uh-huh.”
Offense’s harsh breathing is heard.
A guy about that size wouldn’t have gotten tired of running up to the bed a bit.
I asked.
“You must have been very surprised.”
“……”
“Anything else left?”
“haha. Uh-huh.”
Chalgrang.
There was the sound of something hitting the floor.
He had dropped all the other memorizations he had.
“I lost. Take the young girl.”
I smiled and pulled out the communication marble.
Then I contacted Neryl.
“Neryl. done. Cancel the magic.”
– It’s over sooner than I thought. dealt with it now
“thank you. See you at the inn a little later. Please tell Xenia.”
-yes.
I put the marble in and lighted the room.
Offense lying on the bed as if to catch me.
And under the bed, covered in blankets, Ariena was trembling.
I told her.
“Nice to meet you. This is Maid.”
Offense did not return to the inn with me.
He opened his mouth to me supporting Ariena.
“Let’s meet once this is all over.”
“Well?”
“I want to see how you handle this. I want to compare what’s different with Kayle.”
“So. Do you know the inn I’m staying at?”
“okay. how long will it take I wish I could check it as soon as possible, Seonghwa, so Kayle is telling me to come back soon.”
“It will be over in two days. Let’s take a good look at it from a special seat.”
Offense retreated with a satisfied face.
As the fearsome assassin disappeared, Ariena’s legs relaxed as if relieved.
“oh.”
“Are you okay?”
“Sorry, I’m sorry. Suddenly leaning.”
“It is rather admirable that you have gone through something like this and reacted like that. Please recline.”
Ariena blushed and leaned against me.
She asked, walking so quietly.
“Father… No, when is Count Tobira going to start a war?”
“I asked for a week to find Young-ae. There are three days left.”
“okay. I must hurry.”
She bit her lip.
“If you get your hands on the ore veins of the Kitur estate, of course, the value of the Avis estate will skyrocket. Who doesn’t know that.”
“……”
“But if it were me, I would have chosen a different method than a war where innocent people were driven to their limbs through this scheming. It would have created greater wealth in other ways.”
“Youngae will do well.”
stand tall.
She stopped at my answer.
The eyes that looked up carefully were full of tension.
Ariena asked as if in a test.
“I’m sure you’ll be fine. What can I do?”
“I do not know. Let’s discuss that with your mother.”
“……?”
“We also rescued Settlia-sama. I am waiting at the inn now.”
Ariena opened her mouth.
