Chapter 384 – Assassination Room

000

The next moment when he thought that there was a huge shadow blocking the light of the moon from above, Cleon drew Galatea and struck his opponent with a huge ax wielding it.

Lubera, who was supporting her, naturally fell off Cleon’s shoulder her, but seemed to be conscious enough to stand still while staggering.

Kagagagak! While hearing the sound of hitting her ears her loudly, what jumped in front of her was the figure of the giant who had been talking to Rubera until earlier.

When he sees that Cleon has taken his axe, he makes a surprised expression, but soon breaks out in a cold sweat and raises the corners of his mouth.

“Hey! Now!”

Hearing such a voice, something glittering in the shadow of Adamant’s building flew towards Cleon.

‘Is it the second person?’

Cleon, unfazed at all, raises one of his hands and spreads his magic wall.

Grabbing her Galatea and fighting was a sensation she had n’t seen in a long time, but, after all, compared to when she was by her side versus when she was n’t.

The difference is in the amount of power that can be wielded, and of course the same is true in terms of controlling magical power.

Assuming that a magical wall with a definite shape was created, the wall lightly deflected the crossbow arrows that flew towards it.

“This, this guy…”

The figure in the shadows, embarrassed to see the attack blocked, quickly loads the crossbow with a second arrow, but-

Like a snake crawling on the ground, a black gust of wind rushed forward, lowering its stance his, and rushed at the assassin.

When he hears a sound cutting through the air, similar to that of a snake’s breath, the spear blades at the end of the tufts of black hair cut off the crossbow the Shadow was holding—

The hair, squirming like tentacles, tied the assassin’s body tight like a rope.

“Kyaa, oh…!? What, what is this…! I feel bad!”

Apparently, it was the woman who held the crossbow.

Ferdia pulled her along and made her fall into her path her, then stepped on her back her with one of her feet her.

“Bah, stupid…!”

Geohan, who was confronting Cleon, couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw his partner her fall so easily.

However, looking away was no different from giving up the fight.

If you think you heard the sound of something cracking.

The ax of the giant who collided with Galatea is cracked.

“What, what!?”

The moment the giant panicked and tried to back away, straining his body to remove his axe-

What reached out was Cleon’s hand hers.

Leaping forward, Cleon stretched out his hand and grabbed the giant’s head.

I put my weight on it, knock the assassin back, and climb on top of him.

At the same time, I strengthened my arms and rammed his head into the ground, causing an impact comparable to a file on a hard stone floor.

However, the man looked at Cleon vigorously, not fainting even as blood was dripping from the back of his head, as if the man was strong enough for his physique.

“Damn it… I never thought I’d be this strong…”

“Wasn’t the request starting at the same time as the march started?”

When Cleon looked down at him with his back to the moon and asked an expressionless question, Geohan answered with a smile, hehe’.

“Anyway, you’re going to die… Then it doesn’t matter if it’s a little faster…!”

“I see. Then it would mean that it doesn’t matter if you go faster than the other assassins.”

The flow of dark magic flowed from Cleon’s heart his and flowed down his shoulder his and into his hand his holding the giant.

Even the giant, who knew that it was a magical preparatory move, looked terrified.

“Damn! Let go! You bastard…! I’ll kill you!”

“A fool.”

The next moment, when a wave of magic power bursts out of Cleon’s arm, the man’s eyes show whites, foaming at his mouth his, and he loses consciousness on the spot.

At the same time, Perdia also knocked her unconscious by strangling and suffocating a woman she had subdued with her own hair.

“Are you okay, Mr. Cleon?”

When Perdia approaches, worrying about Cleon, who took the ax loaded with the giant’s weight, Cleon nodded her head as if there was no problem and got up from her seat her.

And it is to confirm that she it does not wake up by touching the giant that has been knocked down with its feet of her.

“There may be more of these guys.”

“Assassins with skill and judgment would know that even if they stare at Cleon-sama right now, it won’t work.

Cleon looked around her once more to see if she was right.

I didn’t feel any blatant murder or hostility like before, but I could detect a certain amount of people around me.

“…Lubera?”

When Cleon finds Ruba, who had fallen from his side for the battle earlier,

I saw her standing against the wall near Adamant’s entrance.

“…Lubera is in that state, so it must be difficult to continue fighting.”

“Cleon-nim. What I got from the bartender earlier is…”

“It was an address and a key.”

When Cleon says so and shows her her own note paper, Perdia looks at it and thinks for a moment.

“This address is an inn in the commercial district. From here, it’s closer than going back to Cleon-sama’s accommodation or the Tromeia Mansion.”

“…You can’t believe you’ve already memorized the map of the royal capital?”

At Cleon’s question, Perdia nods her head.

Also she was excellent.

“…Then, this key must be the key to that inn’s room.”

“I think so. The lake is engraved on the key.”

As Perdia said, it was hard to see on the key, but there was a number engraved on it.

“…That’s good. Then, let’s go there first to give Rubera a rest.”

“Is it trustworthy? Adamant has chosen Cleon-sama as an enemy of her, and he continues to aim for her life of her…”

As Cleon listened to her, she tapped her on the shoulder her to reassure her.

“It’s okay. No matter what happens, just the two of us can protect Ruba.”

“…Okay. Then-“

Perdia said so, and she closed her eyes for a moment.

Then, her hair went from black to her familiar pink.

As the invisible stream of magic flowed through her hair, Cleon looked at her with a slightly surprised look on her face.

“…Rutie?”

“This is the power I borrowed from Rutios-sama. To protect Cleon-sama. …Thanks to the power of dragon blood that I took before, even if it is weak, it remains…”

Perdia said so, and after taking a small deep breath, she spread the magic of the wind around her.

“With this, enemies aiming at us within a certain distance will be able to notice and respond first.”

The magic of the wind flows fluidly and returns to the owner with various information.

“Awesome…!”

When her Cleon raises her voice her in praise of her in pure admiration, Perdia responds with her eyes wide open and her face blushing in a little surprise.

“Thank you. If I can be of any help to Cleon-nim, this Ferdia will be more than happy.”

“Okay. Then, let’s hurry up and go to the inn.”

Cleon moves along with Perdia with Ruba on his back her, who is now having difficulty even moving.

And, the eyes that looked at them were not limited to the assassins.

001

“Cleon-sama!”

As Perdia’s voice echoed through her alleyway, Cleon nodded her head and took her Galatea with both hands.

And, at the same time as driving her into her land her, her magical powers her scattered all around her-

“Shock Blast!”

A thunderbolt of black magic enveloping the surrounding area exploded.

“Gaaaaagh!”

When screams full of pain echoed through the alleyway, the six figures surrounding Cleon and Perdia collapsed at the same time, scattering all but one to ashes.

“Do assassins these days learn illusion magic…”

The assassin whose body was restrained through Perdia’s hair.

The man’s magic organ, dressed in an unusual outfit like a magician, must have been messed up by the magic Cleon used earlier.

I was a little nervous when it suddenly appeared and increased to 6 people in the air.

Ferdia’s hair that stretched out along with the words ‘You appear in the air, you want to catch me’, grabbed six people, including the illusion and the main body, and pinned them to the ground.

And, it was a simple task to finish those whose movements were sealed with Cleon’s magic.

“Leave it tied up. The magic won’t be used for a few days, so it won’t be a threat.”

“All right.”

Just as Cleon had said, Ferdia pulled out a rope from somewhere and tied the assassin upside down, then hung him upside down on the wall in a back alley.

“…Didn’t have to hang it upside down.”

“No. This much should be punished.”

Perdia was more merciless than Cleon.

Anyway, if you go out of this alley now, you will be in front of the inn written in the memo you received.

It was fortunate that Barisada changed into a human form and was supporting Ruba, but carrying a drunken person on her back her was also difficult.

At least, it seemed that even Lubera came to her senses her a little while receiving the night air, somehow she was able to walk around.

“Cleon… This is…”

“Hold on a little longer. I’ll let you rest soon…”

“Yes…”

Ruba, who had become docile thanks to her drunkenness her, was a bit fresh, but she didn’t even have time to stand still and appreciate it.

Cleon would then grab Rubera’s hand and run to get her out of the alley.

—And then, when the three of them pass through the dark alley.

Perhaps thanks to the eve of Victory Day, the commercial district was full of lights even though it was night.

Cleon felt fortunate to be out in a crowded place, and immediately checked the sign of the building to his right.

‘Inn… Styx.’

“This is it, Mr. Cleon.”

“Okay. Let’s go in.”

It was a place that was not much different from other inns, both on the outside and inside.

The first floor was a bar, and the second and third floors were rooms for guests to stay.

As with the outside, there were a lot of people, and the tables in the bar area were full and chatting lively.

When Cleon glances around and tries to find the stairs leading to the second floor.

Thinking of Cleon as a new customer, a cute looking female waitress started talking to Cleon.

“Welcome! To the tavern and inn Styx! Sorry, sir, all the tables on the first floor are occupied right now… I can only show you the rooms where you can stay.”

“…It’s okay. There’s a key.”

When Cleon says so, take out the key you were given from her pocket her and show it to her waitress.

Her eyes changed slightly, and she nodded.

“I see! Then, I will guide you to your room. Please follow me~”

An employee who works to guide Cleon with an impressive voice.

Following her, up the two flights of stairs to the third floor, the noisy voices on the first floor gradually faded away.

Passing through the dark corridor on the third floor, I was led to the innermost room.

“This way. You’re the one from Adamant.”

“…”

Cleon thought about how to respond to her words, but the waitress didn’t seem to want an answer.

“Everything in this room is free for guests to use. Whether it’s taking it out or storing it as new.”

I don’t know what she meant, but first, Cleon quietly took her key and unlocked the door.

Then, the waitress woman lifts her skirt slightly and greets them.

“Please, may God’s forgiveness be with your soul.”

Cleon, who looked at the employee who last said those words, opened the door to the room with Ferdia and went inside.

Then, what I saw inside was-

“This, this…”

Cleon, Perdia, and even Lubera, who had been asleep, looked inside and looked surprised.

First of all, the arrangement of furniture seemed to be no different from a normal inn room.

However, when you close the door and turn on the magic light in the room, what you see around you is a variety of assassination tools that are so full of them that it is difficult to count them.

A dagger for throwing, a sword suitable for holding and wielding with one hand, ranging from unusual forms of memorization.

Scythes, bows, crossbows, and firearms similar in size to the gigantic ax that seemed to be wielded by a giant earlier.

“…Is this an armory?”

“No, not just weapons.”

Ferdia twitched her nose a little, as if she smelled something in her her, and she moved towards the closet in the room.

When I opened it, there was a display of bottles containing various unknown medicines.

Even Ruba, staggered and opened the closet-like place in the room, revealing black clothes made of material that clung to her body.

They seemed to be made of a special material, so that ordinary iron blades could not easily pass through.

“…Anyway, this seems to be a place provided for those who have received a special mission.”

At Perdia’s answer her, Cleon nodded her head.

This room was originally prepared for Adamant’s assassins.

Even in the Assassin’s House, various weapons, tools, medicines, poisons, and even armor were provided so that he could perform in the best condition for important missions.

“All of them are high-level tools. …Especially this black suit… Even if you just wear it under the armor, it will block sniping to some extent.”

Ferdia talks while looking at the clothes in the closet that Ruba opened.

“…The bartender… Why did she tell me about this place?”

“Well, she, too. She must have hoped that you would live.”

When Rubera answered that, Cleon shut her mouth.

“Let’s pack everything we can. Even if we use everything here, our enemies will outnumber us.”

“Yes. Cleon-nim has a demonic sword, Galatea-nim… But I’ve seen her enjoy using small memorizations like this. The daggers she normally uses are okay, but these too…”

While saying that, Ferdia looked over some of her memorized notes of her, then suddenly turned her head to Rubera.

Ruba was approaching her bed as if her tiredness her hadn’t gone away yet.

As it is, if you try to sit on that bed-

“…! Lubera-sama! Wait-“

“…? What!?”

As soon as Rubera sits on her bed with Ferdia’s panicked voice, something like a thick wire jumps out of her bed, and she fixes Rubera’s body her on her bed her.

“Rubera!”

“…Kuh! What, hey… This is…!”

Rubera herself was flustered and twisted her body her, but the wire seemed to nullify her magical power her, or it was holding her body her tightly so that she could not release it.

When Cleon and Perdia panic and approach her, Perdia quickly examines her bed.

“…I thought it was strange that there were beds in a place like this… But, I wonder if it was an interrogation tool…!”

At Cleon’s words, Perdia nodded her head.

“Yes. That’s a pretty bad-tempered category. The driving force is the mana of the tied person. …In other words, you have to deplete Ruba-sama’s mana to be able to get out of this bed.”

“Magic power…? Haa… Kuh…!”

Upon hearing Perdia’s words, Ruba let out a sigh of her astonishment.

Considering the amount of her magic power her in Rubera, she would have been tied up all day, even for days, but there was no time for that.

“Should I break the bed?”

“… It’s not a good decision. Rubera-sama’s magical organs may have problems… It will take a little time, but it’s better to drain Rubera’s magic.”

Saying that, Perdia quietly took off her clothes.

“Hey, wait. Perdia…!?”

When Cleon panicked and called her name her, Perdia went to the closet full of medicine bottles she was looking at earlier, and she came back with some medicine.

“Cleon-sama, this medicine.”

“…For now, let’s ask what kind of medicine it is…”

“It is a drug that causes the magical organs to run wild and strengthens the magical sensitivity. Originally, it was used to forcibly increase the sensitivity to magic, but when several people take it at the same time, it widens the magical passage between them and lets the magical energy flow. The ability to accept is also strengthened…”

Perdia is talking while her face her blushes a little.

“…As the body is elevated, people who take the same medication want each other’s bodies.”

“Are you going to use it to absorb all of Rubera’s magic…”

When Perdia nodded her head at Cleon’s words, Ruba shut her mouth for a moment while looking at the two of them.

“Wait, are you serious?”

“Sorry Lubera. If you get out of her bed, I’ll give her magic her back.”

Cleon shared the medicine with Perdia, and afterwards Perdia held the medicine in her mouth her and brought his mouth her to her her mouth her in her her Rubera-

“Town…!”

It is to push her medicine her inside her her, and force her to drink it.

“Choi, the worst…!”

Even as Ruba said that, she felt an invisible channel of magical power open between herself, Cleon, and Perdia.

“Kuh… Ha ha…!”

And, at the same time, when she feels her body heat up, she can’t move her body her, but she feels her lower leg her get wet.

“… Cleon. Perdia… See you later…”

Looking at the two who took off her clothes, Ruba made up her mind.
