/CLIP/ /CLOP/
After riding for another full day, we finally reached Lismore City.
"There my girl, you can slow down now."
Since I regularly let her rest, Night was also in her top condition.
And as I approached the entrance of the city, a guard came beside me.
"ID."
"Here."
It was the same process that was pretty normal in these lands.
"Hmm…. Here."
However, there was something different.
Something was wrong with the guard in front of me.
'His posture is not like a guard. He is a bit sharper…. And he is expanding a bloodlust?'
While he extended his hand to me to give me the card, I thought.
/SWOOSH//
Just as I was about to use my All-Seeing Eye to see what was happening in front of me and whom this person was, a dagger aimed at my neck was drawn out reversely.
/SCHLINK/ /CLANK/
However, immediately drawing my sword at a fast speed, I blocked the strike.
/THUD/
Then threw a kick to his chest, making him stagger.
"Who are you?"
'All Seeing Eye.'
While asking this, at the same time, I activated my All Seeing Eye.
-----------------------------------
Name – Calum, the Vilespike
Age – 31
Class – Rogue
Mage Rank – 4-star
Knight Rank – 3-star
Attributes – Poison
-----------------------------------
'Ho, a poison user, you say.'
Seeing his class and his attribute, I thought.
"You don't need to know."
Hearing his response, I readied my sword.
"Is that so?"
"It is. Do you have any last words?"
With a smirk on his face, he asked.
"Last words? Why?"
"You will see."
Seeing the smirk on his face, a smile bloomed upon mine as well.
"Ah, you are talking about this poison you applied to me while giving my ID back, right?"
"Huh?"
In the end, it was supposed to happen already, and it was not the first time I had encountered someone that wanted to assassinate me either.
"That is why I like to act like nothing happened first."
"Hu-"
/SWOOSH/ /SLASH/
With a fast speed, I drew my sword in a crescent motion which was aimed at the neck of the man in front of me.
/THUD/
And then a head fell soon after.
"Because the expression on your face before you realize how foolish you were….. It is magnificent."
And it was…..
Because his head which was now rolling on the ground, had a funny expression.
Although I am not a simple psycho who murders others just for fun, I had already got familiar with killing people by now….
Then, why not make it a bit more enjoyable, if you can say so?
However, there is one thing a person needs to pay attention to.
It is a fact that there are a lot of things that could be done with magic.
That could go against common sense.
/PISSS/
Just like the smoke that is being excluded from the dead body of the adventurer in front of me.
A smoke that colored green.
"Lirienne, grab this for now."
Taking a mask from my spatial ring, I threw it to the elven girl behind me.
"This gas is poisonous."
'I knew he was going to do something, but to think that he was already predicted his death…. Or maybe he is forced to.'
I don't know which one it is, but I am pretty sure that the smoke in front of me is not a spell that could be conjured by a 4-star mage.
'The mana in the environment had already been turned mostly into the poison one.'
Sensing the mana being changed in the environment, I thought.
'I guess they are really prepared…. They even went to the length of hiring a bunch of assassins for the job.'
'But, how did they know I was coming here?'
Before I thought about that question, I sensed a lot of mana signatures circling me.
'I guess I don't have time to seek the answer to that question for now.
/SWOOSH/
Thinking that, I raised my sword and started focusing around with my senses.
'An attack from behind.'
/CLANK/
Rotating my waist and reposturing myself, I blocked the dagger attack aimed at my back with my sword.
/THUD/
Then with my aura focused on my hand, I threw a simple palm attack to the chest of the newcomer.
"Blurghk-"
Making him puke whatever he had in his stomach.
/SWOOSH/
Following that, with a slash to his chest, I cut him on his shoulder.
/STAB/
And then stabbed him in his heart, killing him.
/SWOOSH/
However, there was more than one person that was there to attack me.
/CLANK/
With my sword raised, I blocked another strike coming to my face.
/CLANK/
'Hmm?'
And there, I heard another sound of clashing.
'Ah…. This girl was here too.'
Since I had been fighting alone for a while, I missed the fact that there was another person beside me that were fighting.
'Losing such an asset in such a way would be one of the most nonsensical things. I should protect her.'
Although I am not a fan of protection people, for this case, we can think of it as an escort mission whose dangers stemmed from me.
'Then, I need to make this quick. I should not leave it to any type of risk.'
/CLANK/
Deciding that the playtime was over, I blocked the following attack that came from another one.
'There are three people in front of me, one fighting with Lirienne, two conjuring a spell, a total of six enemies.'
'Then, using this move would be most optimal.'
Thinking that, I started preparing for the attack that I had prepared for fighting a lot of enemies.
"Hiss…."
Releasing a frost breath from my mouth to slow down the poison that was spreading to my body, I took my position.
/CRACKLE/
With lightning imbued to my food, I stared, channeling my aura to my foot.
"Stop him!"
And seeing me charging, the three men in front of me rushed at me instantly, trying to disrupt my pace.
'You are too late.'
'Sword of Annihilation. Lightning Flow.'
At that moment, it was the beginning of the slaughter.
