Episode 14
People who make assassinations their business are called assassins.
In other words, it could be a killing weapon.
It may have been the case in the past, but in the current empire, assassins generally refer to a single group.
[Great Family] The Dark Church, the greatest enemy and the greatest threat to the Empire.
One of the five evil gods worshiped by that cursed group – the Demon King of the Blood Moon.
Followers of Haden-Eihar.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“To act like a fool. “Then how do you explain the requirements?”
Osel’s expression hardened as he smiled and showed the dagger.
It wasn’t mine, it was something I took out from the arms of the guy who had just thrown it.
I showed him the pattern engraved on the hilt of the dagger.
“You’re not going to say you bought it at a souvenir shop, are you?”
The moment he saw the Demon King’s symbol, a large ripple was seen spreading across Arjan’s face.
Actually, I am also quite surprised.
I didn’t know that a member of the church had infiltrated Badniker, even though I didn’t know about other places.
That’s because the thing they fear most in this empire is the Badniker family.
‘I’ve never heard anything like this in my past life.’
Of course, Badniker has little interaction with other families.
Naturally, this means that it is rare for rumors to spread, and although the same incident occurred in a past life, it may not have been widely known and was buried as is.
Or, although the possibility is small, he might not have been discovered until the end.
“… … .”
Osel sighed and glared at me.
Immediately after, life began to shine in the eyes.
Are you going to kill me?
The moment I burst out laughing, Osel kicked off the ground and came running. I could see the sword in her hand turning black.
‘Is it [the cursed one]?’
Mana, and the power that is the opposite of divine protection.
The great family calls that power the [Demon King’s Curse]… … .
In the Dark Church, it is called [Blessing of Faith].
Like divine protection, it is not a power that can be obtained only through descent from a particularly great family.
And power that can be obtained without limits is generally dangerous.
‘But this guy looks fine.’
It is said that those who have been cursed have a slight taste in their hair, but Osel showed no such sign.
Maybe it’s bigger than I expected.
“Get behind me, master!”
Meanwhile, Arjan came to his senses and stood in front of me.
At the same time, he kicks up his dagger that had fallen on the floor, holds it in both hands, and immediately responds to Osel’s attack.
Osel shouted as he slashed his sword.
“Victor!”
The knight I had just thrown ran towards me.
I saw Arjan’s shoulders twitch and said briefly.
“I’m fine, so please focus on that guy.”
Then he took out the ring sword and swung it immediately.
Cough!
It’s been a long time since I felt like blades clashing with each other.
I swung it to kill a troll a few days ago, but it feels completely different from dealing with a person.
Kurrrr… … !
A bluish aura appeared on the knight’s blade.
It’s a sword technique, a mana blade.
“Tsk.”
I have no chance of winning if I go into a mana, or internal attack battle.
However, the quality of the weapon is not good.
Although the ring sword is a magic tool, it is not strong in durability.
In the end, I gave up the idea of fighting from the front and focused on avoiding my opponent’s attacks.
After fighting and observing for a while, focusing on defense, I was somehow familiar with the knight’s systematic movements.
‘You use imperial swordsmanship?’
Why do they still fight like knights even though their true identity has been revealed anyway?
It’s obvious.
These guys are assassins.
These guys show their true colors during a surprise attack rather than in a melee like this.
But since it’s a one-on-one situation now, they’re probably looking for an opportunity by pretending to engage in battle without any problems.
Hehe!
Like this.
The driver spat at me.
So, not saliva, but a thin needle.
My head snapped back.
“hot… … !”
I heard a sneer, probably thinking the attack was successful… … .
I straightened my head and showed the truth.
“… … !”
When I showed him the spit I was holding with my teeth, the driver’s face froze with a smile.
It’s natural to reciprocate after being attacked like this, so I punched the foolishly standing knight in the face.
“Ugh-.”
Blood poured from the knight’s nose and mouth.
I guess I didn’t expect to swing a fist with the hand holding the sword, but it went in better than I expected.
The knight resisted by swinging his fist even while his nose was bleeding, but if he was hit by such a flailing movement, it would be a slap in the face.
Bah! Bah!
I grabbed the knight by the collar and repeatedly punched him in the face before kicking him.
The knight rolled on the ground with a crash.
I immediately tried to get my bearings and stand up, but I’m not one to lose the chance to win.
He gently trampled on the knight’s chest.
Kuuuk… … .
“Turn it off… … .”
Although the limbs could not be blocked, the pressure was enough to crush the ribs, and the struggling movements gradually became more frequent.
This wasn’t enough, so he plunged the blade into the knight’s right hand.
The article was made in the form of a stuffed article on the ground, as if it had been nailed.
“Aaaah!”
Even if he were an assassin, the pain of having his raw flesh pierced by a knife seemed unbearable, and he let out a scream.
In the meantime, he intercepted the knight’s sword and put it in his left hand.
Once again, the scream of a pig being slaughtered echoes through the forest.
Only then did I take the spit out of my mouth and say.
“Shut up before I hit your tongue.”
“you you… … .”
“You idiot, speak straight.”
Then the driver’s expression hardened and he spoke in a whisper.
“What are you… Who are you… … ? Where is Luan Badniker?”
“You don’t look stupid, but your question is stupid.”
An earthquake occurred in the assassin’s eyes when he saw my frown.
You’re probably thinking about all kinds of things.
Basically, the more shady people are, the more they think.
“It’s not like I’m a double agent or wearing human skin. I am Luan Badniker. “Your target is the idiot master who is dying to kill you.”
“… … .”
To be honest, it didn’t look like a trustworthy face.
Of course, there was no reason to persuade this guy, so I continued with what I had to say.
“So what on earth are you doing? What did you believe in and impersonate the Fang Knights? “Who gave you the mission to kill me?”
“… … .”
“No. It’s probably not an impersonation. Badniker’s fence isn’t that flimsy. “Is this more plausible, that he was originally a knight and then betrayed himself after coming into contact with the church through some kind of route?”
This guy is a bitch.
That’s what came to mind the moment I saw the puzzled expression.
If it were Osel, he wouldn’t have shown much agitation at my words.
Anyway, if you’re not going to open your mouth, I don’t have anything else to do.
Wow.
I hit the knight in the face again with my fist and he fainted.
Actually, it doesn’t matter if I kill you.
There may be a way to retrieve the information later, so hold off for now.
“then… … .”
I looked at the battlefield while collecting the ring sword from the knight.
They were still engaged in a fierce battle with Osel, but it didn’t look like they would win easily.
‘Middle Ages… No, Osel has a slight advantage.’
The two seem to have similar skills.
I think the reason is that Arjan’s condition is down.
‘This is difficult.’
I don’t think it will be of much help even if I join right away.
The body is still a body, but it lacks internal energy.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to help.
I watched him silently, pulled out the knight’s sword, and threw it at the right time.
“… … !”
Osel, who was concentrating on the battle, was startled and twisted his body.
In an instant, a large gap appeared in his upper body, and Arjan did not miss it.
Squeak!
A sharp dagger cut from my thigh to my collarbone in one go.
Although it did not take his life, it was a fatal wound.
However, Osel did not even utter a sigh, but instead showed amazing tenacity and kicked Arjan’s side.
Craddangtang!
Arjan, who rolled several times on the floor, chuckled as if he had been lifted.
“are you okay?”
“yes.”
Arjan responded toughly, then looked at Osel and said.
“Drop your weapons, Osel.”
“… … .”
Osel glared at me, blood dripping.
“You should know better that you can’t win with those wounds.”
“… … .”
“Why did Hadeneihar’s assassin hide in Badniker? Depending on your statement, the lives of people around you may be saved.”
“Kkkkkk.”
The corner of Osel’s mouth twitched.
“Do you think you’ve subdued me with your wounds?”
“I advise you not to make any more noise. “You don’t want to die from excessive bleeding.”
“Excessive bleeding? “Something like this?”
The moment when Osel let out a dark laugh.
I threw the ring sword.
Sigh!
“Ouch… … .”
“… … !”
Arjan looked at me with a surprised face.
Osel also groped his neck with disbelieving eyes, smoothing out the blade that had pierced his throat precisely.
Osel is making strange noises, like he’s gurgling with blood and phlegm.
The body slowly collapsed.
“Do you, master?”
“Deacon, I don’t want to listen to a guy like that until the end. Just by looking at him, he acts like there’s something there.”
“but… … .”
“Besides, if you’re being rude, interrogation doesn’t work on the [Cursed One]. “It would be a waste of time to press on here.”
The cursed are those whose demonic energy has even invaded their brains.
It means that they are insensitive to pain like a drug addict, but even a torture specialist cannot extract information from these guys.
As far as I know, the only people who can interrogate those guys are heresy inquisitors belonging to the church.
“I knew this would happen, so I saved one person, so let’s get rid of him first.”
At that moment, a sound as if the air was being torn was heard in the darkness.
I detected this attack, but the reaction was a completely different matter.
“young master!”
Suddenly, I felt the blade pierce my raw flesh.
* * *
“Bwak bwak…” … .”
Osel stood up and laughed.
Crack, clap. A horrifying sound rang out as if muscles and joints were mixing together.
But there is no pain at all.
Rather, Osel was struggling in a swamp of pleasure he had never experienced before.
“Master, heal the wound quickly.”
“It’s okay, just stay still.”
Even in the midst of experiencing catharsis, Osel could not resist without saying a word.
“Is there any way it’s okay…? … .”
In the meantime, the change in the body was complete.
Osel realized that he was no longer human without even looking in the mirror, but it didn’t feel too bad.
Luan said while looking at that figure.
“… It looks exactly like a walking toad. But he’s as big as a troll-.”
“I guess you still have the strength to speak your mind.”
That too will be soon. Osel didn’t bother to say anything, but Arjan’s expression became stiff.
The dagger stuck in Luan’s shoulder.
It wasn’t a vital area, and the wound wasn’t very big either.
Nevertheless, Osel treated Luan like he was looking at all the fish he had caught.
“… “What did you put on your dagger?”
“okay. “You seem to think our way of thinking well.”
Osel said with a smile.
“It’s the most terrible poison in the world. May you know with glory. Originally, it was a means to be used in battle with the Jewel Beast… … .”
“Jewel Water?”
“We were scheduled to fight the Jewel Beast [Sapphire Snake] afterwards. “He is a monster with the energy of extreme cold, so most people will freeze before they even get close to him.”
Osel felt like he was going to fly and casually revealed top secret information.
It was a side effect of demonic energy eating into the brain, but it didn’t really matter.
They’re all going to die here anyway, so what does it matter?
“In order to pierce the Sapphire Snake’s scales, we searched for a spirit herb with the energy of the extreme yang, and finally obtained it. “What was just applied to the dagger was the extract extracted from the spirit herb.”
“Yeongcho… … ? In that case, medicine is-.”
“You’re talking stupid. “In the first place, there is a difference between poison and medicine.”
Only then did Arjan realize the situation.
“Give me the antidote.”
Osel looked happily at Arjan, who had stopped making formal remarks.
“How foolish, there is no antidote to this extreme poison!”
The moment Osel opened his mouth, a thick tongue shot out from his mouth.
Kwak-gagak, Osel’s tongue swept through the forest like a whip. The giant tree that touched it broke like a rotten branch.
Arjan was busy avoiding.
Unlike the previous engagement, there was no thought of counterattack.
“I experimented with this poison a few times before putting it into practical use! Even the Salamander, which is particularly resistant to fire, screamed like a pig for 10 minutes and then turned to ashes!”
“… … .”
“I’m getting interested. Luan Badniker, how long can you last?”
Osel expected Luan’s expression to be filled with fear and despair, but he was wrong.
Luan had a blank face.
Apparently, that idiot still couldn’t believe that he was dead.
“5 minutes.”
Then, in a dazed voice, he says something strange.
“I think it will take about 5 minutes.”
Osel thought Luan’s tone was somewhat subtle.
No, more than that.
‘How can I still talk?’
