A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

203 – At That Time, an Imperial Assassin Appeared (5)

Imperial assassins do not use magic.

This is because there are not many people who are talented in magic even if they want to use it.

In Nostrum, a person with a talent for magic comes to the Empire and gives birth to a child. Even if the child becomes an assassin for the Empire, he does not use magic as his main force

If her mother had been gifted in magic, she would have become a noblewoman in the Kingdom of Nostrum without having to go to the Empire.

In that sense, they have now given up impersonating the Empire’s assassins.

“Ha.”

A thunderbolt falls in the dry sky.

For a moment, I remembered the bombardment pouring down the canyon and became dizzy, but I quickly came back to my senses due to the magic flames, which were different from the typical flames.

“Write.”

My mind becomes clearer.

At the same time as she feels irritated, her head spins furiously and she comes to a conclusion.

“These.”

The moment I thought about it, my body was already moving.

Suddenly!

Swinging her sword horizontally

Along with the sound of the wind cutting, the feeling of something flying remains in my hand.

“!!”

The assassin’s head, which was cut cleanly and flying away, looked at me upside down with a surprised face, and I jumped right next to it and slashed my sword diagonally.

Suddenly.

Again, one.

With the intention to kill a person with one sword, an aura forms at the tip of the blade and cuts.

“Big~”

There is no need to scream.

If you are cut by an ordinary knight or swordsman, you will most likely suffer fatal injuries and bleed profusely, but those who face a master’s sword must be prepared.

Puhwa——————-

I am prepared to die with my body cut in half without even having a chance to leave a will.

Strictly speaking, it won’t be exactly half.

Even if you cut it vertically from the top of your head to the groin, it won’t be exactly half the size.

“W-what…!”

But visual fear is a different story.

“So, you cut people up like pieces of meat…?”

“You called me that. Master.”

Grasp the sword with one hand, raise the other hand, put your index and middle fingers together, and let mana flow from the top of your nose to the tip of the blade.

“Is this your first time dealing with an Auror Sword?”

“Auror…!”

“Is it a big deal that the eldest son of Gibraltar uses an Auror?”

“You fooled the world!”

“Okay.”

I perfectly aimed the gray aura on both sides of the sword at the assassins.

“The reason Gray Gibraltar hasn’t shown his power until now is because he’s not a Master who can’t use Aurors. It was because he wanted scum like you who are under such illusions to attack him like this. “

I stretched my sword wide to the side.

“And when I see those guys, I always wanted to do this.”

He threw the sword horizontally, like throwing a boomerang.

Bu-euung!

The sword rotates like a boomerang and begins to cut through the air.

The part excluding the handle flew with an aura, and the speed was faster than a hippogriff snatching its prey.

Phu-uuk.

The abdomen of one of the assassins in the path of the sword’s rotation disappeared.

The Auror’s blade passed with precision and cut into his torso, causing the assassin to fall forward in shock.

Puhwa—

And it’s not just one or two, it’s many.

“This is crazy!”

From noble mtl dot come

The person who seemed to be the captain who spoke the most ran towards me.

The sword had already split the men behind him, but he chose to come to kill me rather than save his men.

“Die, traitor!”

“They said he was an imperial assassin, so that doesn’t work, does it?”

I stretched out my empty hand to the side.

There is no weapon on his waist, nor is there a weapon in his hand.

“But I guess that wasn’t taught in Golden Dawn.”

Pa-ah.

“Those who have reached mastery know that the body itself is a weapon.”

“!!”

The moment the assassin leader’s eyes turned to my hand, I immediately stabbed his hand forward like a sword.

“Big, big…!”

“A master is someone who can create an Auror Sword with his bare hands as long as he has enough mana.”

Gray, a traitor before returning, often created auras at his fingertips and stabbed his opponent’s heart-

“Let it be known with honor. It is rare to die from being stabbed by a sword made of pure Aura, not the Aura on the blade.”

The blade of a sword sticks out from behind the assassin’s back.

If you think about efficiency, it would be best to stab the heart with a knife and rip it out, but I can’t help but care about the eyes of those watching me behind my back.

‘You shouldn’t show Noir such a cruel murder.’

Killing people themselves has already been shown.

What matters is who you kill.

Also, how do you kill it?

When I was young, I had to resort to tricks to get to a critical point while dealing with enemies who were stronger than me.

“Where?”

“aaah!!”

But that is not the case now.

“You tried to move the knife even after being stabbed in the heart. Well, okay. “I accept your spirit.”

“Hey, with both hands…!”

“It’s not like there is no dual swordsmanship in Gibraltar.”

Instead of pointing to the hand holding the sword that stabbed his heart, I pointed to the other hand holding the sword that stabbed his shoulder.

“You go after seeing something good, right?”

A gray auror sword stretched out from each hand.

At the moment of exerting all its might, each blade would have become an auror blade, but this is not the time to show its full power yet.

“Dying by the Master’s Auror sword. Isn’t that the greatest honor for a knight? Oh, no. Is it the worst death for an assassin?”

“Kuh, keuhuh…!”

The assassin is laughing at me, bleeding from his mouth

“You’re out of your mind…! The train is on fire…!”

Grumbling.

I feel the heat behind my back.

The rain of fire aimed precisely at the special compartment soon began to spread to the end of the train, and the inside of the train began to burn brightly.

“Yes! You are a high-level wizard! You have spread the flames, so your younger brother and the princess are now dead!”

“…”

“Your brother is dead, and your father will reprimand you, and since the princess is dead, the empire will try to execute you! Hehe…!”

“If you came to die with those thoughts in mind, I feel a little sorry.”

Really.

“Burn the train and kill the people inside, or burn the train itself and cause property damage. Well, if you think that in itself causes damage, then let’s do it.”

I pushed the assassin’s abdomen with my foot and pulled out the Auror Sword.

“And someone died.”

I pointed back.

“All three are alive and well, not a single hair was sung.”

“Uh…”

The driver was pushed back, blood spurting out, and looked at the train behind me.

“How… ?”

“Why? I’m asking the obvious.”

When I looked back, a circular protective shield began to come out of the train covered in fire.

“Would the imperial princess and next heir of Gibraltar walk around without any means of protecting herself from such terrorist threats?”

“…”

Deeply.

The assassin was left alone.

“Ugh, leader!”

“Step back! For now…!”

I wonder if he was really the leader. As soon as the person I killed fell, his subordinates started looking left and right at each other.

“Oh, it doesn’t matter if you run away.”

I put one of the swords on the ground and then twirled the sword widely with my right hand.

“It’s too much of a hassle to run around the forest trying to catch petrels. You guys, just go back and tell your heads. If you don’t want to kill your petty underlings, be a man and come here yourself.”

“Tsk… !”

“A man who is old enough to keep sending his subordinates away because he is afraid of turning 18.”

“Withdraw!!”

Another knight shouts quickly, and the assassins all turn their backs and run.

If I wanted to, I could throw the Auror Sword I’m currently holding or ‘ride on’ and kill them all, but-

“There is such a thing as priority.”

I tightly grasped the spinning sword, turned my body sharply, and threw it back.

Towards the sky.

New love ㅡㅡㅡ!!

A sword thrown diagonally flies towards the sky, spinning round and round as if it had been launched by a catapult.

It’s not just a sword, it’s a sword made of aura, and as it falls, the gray mana falls like ash and the auror’s bond slowly begins to break down.

It’s a huge waste of mana.

To recharge as much mana as that Auror Sword, you would have to chew five bags of Somnus raw.

However.

“Wow!”

“You set someone else’s train on fire and run away somewhere.”

Just before it disappeared, the Auror Sword hit the back of the flying dragon-riding wizard who was running away in the sky.

Wow…!

The wizard fell straight down, and the drake tried to head downward as the rider on its back

Flap.

Kyaak…?!

However, the drake immediately looked up, folded its wings, and began to run away.

“Guy.”

Flutter, flutter.

“You didn’t have to come, but you came all the way here.”

The reason he ran like this even though I didn’t call him was probably because he had an intuition.

It wasn’t really a big deal, but it was a moment that made my heart fill up.

Or else.

‘Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since I’ve felt this sensation.’

You can never get used to the feeling of killing someone.

I try not to get used to it, but I can’t erase it from my memory.

The feeling of cutting something sometimes makes a person feel isolated.

“…After.”

Take care of your breathing.

Although there is no silver-

“Grey.”

“…Princess.”

“You look a little tired.”

Astasia comes to me and hugs me.

“Thank you for your hard work. Shall we rest for a moment?”

“…Wait a minute, can I take a breath?”

“I can close my eyes and take a nap.”

“Not that far. 1 minute, no…”

I buried my face in Astasia’s shoulder.

“Just 3 minutes, I’ll take care of you.”

* * *

In the five minutes between suppressing my desire to live and refining my seething mana in Astacia’s arms.

“It’s burning brightly.”

The rain of fire that spread on the train began to spread beyond control.

The good news is that only the train is on fire, and the entire area around Lembury Station has been reclaimed as wasteland, so there is no chance of the fire spreading unless it is carried by the wind.

“Noir. What about the tracks?”

“I cut it. Because I cut it large, there will be no fire spreading along the track.”

“Okay. Then… You can think of it as a campfire on a train.”

It was burning so brightly that there was no need to throw the firewood of corpses lying on the floor.

“By the way, bro.”

“Huh?”

“That… “

Noir looks at Astasia with a complicated face.

As if he had not expected it at all, as if he had seen something indescribable.

“Noir Gibraltar.”

“Uh, yes!”

“A man must know how to keep the secrets of the woman he loves.”

I lightly tapped Chat Noir on the shoulder.

“No matter what is behind the woman you love, you must know how to embrace and love even that.”

“Hyung, that, over there… “

“Yes. There were so many assassins outside the train, but the assassin could have come from a direction that I couldn’t see.”

This is, after all, a story of possibility.

“The elite soldiers may have come in to assassinate you as you tried to set fire and run out, but…Noir, remember? When you were kidnapped before.”

“Ah, if that’s the case…”

“If there were such assassins.”

“…Can I just pretend that I killed him?”

“…”

I lightly ruffled Noir’s hair with my hands.

“Same goes for Wednesday.”

“…Okay. But brother. If you fight with Princess Astasia… Who will win?”

“…Are you calling that a question?”

It’s absurd.

“Of course.”

“What are you talking about, Gray?”

“…It’s not a big deal. Rather, it’s coming slowly.”

Beyond the horizon, dragons dressed in black began to fly towards us.

“I was wondering for a moment how to tell President Winchester… Huh?”

When I looked back, Noir was shocked and Astasia was giggling.

“Astasia. “What did you say?”

“Oh, I didn’t say anything.”

Astasia winked at me and pointed to the sky.

“You win during the day.”

“…”
