Chapter 359 – Assassination of Catherine

Chapter 359: Operation to Assassinate Catherine

Woo woo… !!

Passing through the dimensional door, the queen’s bed arrived before she knew it.

Chuck! Chuck!

The assassins who arrived first took control of the sleeping quarters.

“Are you ready?”

“It’s over.”

Van Dark whispered quietly.
Two attendants and two maids, presumably in the sleeping quarters, were dead with their necks twisted.

“!”

“Take heart.
Goes.”

Stella finally took her eyes off the corpse when I tapped her arm.
Stella clenched his fists and made up his mind.
I put on an iron mask and carry a battering ram to break down the door.

Whirik. Took.

Let’s signal, everyone stand in position.
Near doors, near curtained windows, and walls.

Tuk-tuk.

Adolf raises two fingers in front of his eyes and points to the wall.

Nod

Whoops.

Fluidization initiation.
Penetrating the wall, sneaking out with only your eyes out, reconnaissance.
Give a signal with your finger.

[Two articles.
One torch.]

Another crew peeks out through the curtains.
Him nodding his head.
There is only one magical power induction torch.

Adolf’s son, Asuf, puts on a fluid image and sticks his head against the wall.

[No one.]

The green torch shimmers and sways wildly in response to the release of magical power caused by fluidization.
And the flames grow, and they begin to glow with a green light.

“Hmm… ?”

A royal knight that moves in response to the green light of the torch.
Van Dark looks back at me.
Respond with a hand signal.

[Let’s go.]

The magical power induction torch reacted, so you shouldn’t waste time.

The way the door pulls from our side.
After pulling it silently, stepping on Zach’s outstretched hand, the two leopard beastman warriors climbed to the ceiling of the shady hallway.
Centuries and battalion commanders, respectively.
I can’t hear the soles of my feet stepping on the wall.

Swish

At the same time, Adolf and Asuf pass through the wall as a body image, go out into the hallway, cancel the body image, and pull the bow.

Puppy!

An arrow shot out like a single sound.

Tuck! Puck!

“Kkeuk… !”

One was shot through the head and died instantly, and the other was hit in the neck.
It is difficult to kill a person in one hit with an arrow.
Especially if it’s a heavily armed knight.
The knight who had been hit in the neck was about to shout as he wrapped his arms around his arrow, foaming blood from his neck.

Papa pat!

Zach and the leopard beast tribe warriors who went out first rushed at them.

Whirik!
Hooked! Snap!

He stabbed his dagger into the gap between his armor and helmet, and into the gap between his armpits, and took down the force at once.

Taoism, cat steps!

Tat tat!

Stella flew, and the rest moved forward at a brisk pace, hushing their footsteps.
First, Gan Zach sends a hand signal.

[Two articles.]

Looking back, Van Dark is following me.

[One in the back, end of cleanup.]

Good.
Just round the corner of this corridor is the king’s bedroom!
First, as a result of continuously checking with observation magic, there was no situation where Catherine came out.

[Let’s go.]

Papapat!

Leopard beast warriors run with their claws into the ceiling, and Adolf and Asuf snip them with their longbows.

Puppy!

Right! Tuuk!

As it was close range, the knights whose heads were pierced at once by the increased penetrating power.
They collapsed as they were, and the leopard beast warriors jumped over the corpses and shot them dead.

Tata that… ! Flutter—!

After that, the crew entering, me and Stella.
The crew is on alert, and Van Dark quickly opens the door.

Clap.

Kiki-.

OK, I got the locked door…

Rattle.

Damn, then it is!
It’s a double lock!

Bean. Bean.

Van Dark hit his head twice with his fist.
Means to break the door.
I hit it hard with the battering ram I was holding.

Depower, joint interlocking, cheongeunchu, diamond surgery!

Huong- Jjaeong!
Kwajik!

“Kyaaak?!”

Screams are heard inside.

As it is the king’s bedroom, the door is very thick.
It was a heavy door covered with wood and ironclad, so it was not easy.

Siege attacker, one more time!

Huong- Jjakkuk!

The door is half broken, revealing a tenacious lock.
It’s in the form of a chain, so it’s holding up quite tough.

“Whoa… !”

Tung.

Drop the Battering Ram on the floor,

Chuck!

I put Master’s dagger through the crack in the door and stab it between the locks.
And,

Kwajik, Tkang!

Twist the chain and break it.
Chains are strong against pulling force, but weak against twisting force.

Fighting!

While kicking the door with a back kick, move aside, take out the shield that Van Dark was carrying on his back and enter.

Dada dot… !

The members who entered hiding behind Van Dark’s back spread out to the left and right…

“Kyaaaaa… Oops!”

“Ugh… Pressure!”

A lady-in-waiting and a naked man who appears to be a mistress scream.
Of course, I immediately shut my mouth and suppressed it.

Udangtang! Jump!

He broke through the door of the next room and searched the king’s chambers.

“I have no goals… !”

Why ah ah ah ah ah… !!!

To make matters worse, an alarm goes off.

Hooked!

“Ugh… !”

Van Dark puts a dagger into the thigh of a naked man.

“Where is Catherine?”

“Hey… I-I only know that he went to the next room…”

“When?”

“Bar, when you hear the sound of just opening the door…”

Spam.
Hooked!

Get info and remove both right away.
I run into the next room, but there is nothing.

“It seems to be a secret passage…”

Under the bed, in the closet, even the picture on the wall.
I touch and turn everything over, but there is not even a trace hidden anywhere…

“Camyu, enemies are coming.”

Said Adolf, who was guarding the door.

Indeed, footsteps can be heard at both ends of the hallway, and torches move in disarray outside the window.
The goal is, of course, here.

Why aaaaa-!

The alarm sound is very loud.

It was then.

Chunk. Deed deed deed… !!

Van Dark, who was carefully examining items on the floor and in the next room, touched something, and the cabinet on the wall spun around, revealing an emergency passage underneath.
A passage in the shape of a whirlwind slide.
It seems to have moved at once with this.

“Here it is.
I went here.”

“Is that also a magic nullification area?”

“I don’t know.
Shall we pursue?”

Whoop! Right!

“Keep it off!”

“Two in the hallway on the left.
Approaching.”

“Come up the stairs at the end of the corridor on the right.
Several shields.
Several spearmen.”

“Camu.”

“Camu!”

Adolf standing outside the door, Van Dark standing in front of the secret passage.
Both are demanding decisions.
Will you pursue or retreat?

Shall we pursue?
I came all the way here prepared… Catherine said that she was a normal woman, and that she had just run away.
If you chase closely, you will catch up, and the secret passage is narrow, so it seems difficult for many people to enter.
If Catherine hadn’t encountered her reinforcements, she might be able to catch them.
Do you know
It’s not a passage to escape to the outside, but a place that leads to a secret underground space?
Then it’s not too late to join the guards.
It’s a secret place, so you wouldn’t have revealed it to the guards.
If you ran away alone, there’s no better situation than that.
Just catch up and kill him!

No.
I chased after you, but what if that aisle is the magic nullification area?
And what if the end of this aisle is outside, after Catherine joins the guards and the Royal Knights?
Could I be forced to chase and kill him?

“What are you going to do?”

In case of retreat, Stella is outside the door.
The inner area is a magic nullification area.
When Stella enters, there is no retreat.

Why aaaaa-!

Chuck, Chuck, Chuck!

“It’s narrowing left and right!”

“Kamu, no time! Make a decision!”

This room is a magic nullification zone.
The portal must be opened in the hallway.
It’s over when you’re driven into the room.

What do we do?

[If you don’t come back… I know I will die.]

To be sick…

“Retreat.
Everyone to the hallway!”

Okay.
Shit, the alarm went off, no info on the other side of the aisle.
It’s a pity, but let’s aim for the next opportunity!

“Stella, the portal!”

Stella immediately hides behind the crew and recites a spell.
Thanks to the Valkyrie Armor, spell casting time is reduced and portal duration is increased.

Jiying—.

A dimensional gate that seems to flow with twinkling starlight in the darkness of the night sky.

“Run!”

Guards escort around the dimension gate,

“Stella, run first!”

Flutter.

Start with Stella, an important person.

Whoop! Puppy!
Tang! Cacan!

Adolf and Van Dark blocked the flying arrows with their bows and shields, respectively.

“Inspiration!”

“According to training! Hurry!
Fire Arrow!”

One by one, the members jump into the portal, and Adolf and Asuf stand in front of the portal and shoot arrows at them.

Tang! Taetaeng!

However, for those who held out thick shields in the hallway, the arrows were only for check.

“Camu!”

“I am last! Hurry!
Mind suppression!”

Coo kung!

“Ah Suf! Go in!”

Adolf’s son, Asuf, enters and Adolf shoots three arrows at once and falls through the portal as if lying on his back.
The shield soldiers who collapsed with my magic ‘mental suppression’.
A scream emanates from Adolf’s arrow poking through the gap.

Perpuck!

Enemy arrows pierce my chest and back, but I don’t care.
Are you okay.
It doesn’t matter as long as you cover your face and neck with your arms.
The baby hero’s armor is almost absolute in terms of physical defense.
Especially if it’s a penetrating attack.

Blocking the enemy’s attack with my body, I finally run toward the dimension gate…

Sereung.
Well… !

“Big… ?!”

Uturi’s armor worn under the clothes.
Its only weakness is the gap in the lower armpit.
According to legend, while making armor from roasted beans, the baby merchant’s mother picked up the beans that flew out of the pot and ate them, leaving a small hole there.
A cool sensation pervades it.
A pain like burning.

“We have a really bad relationship, iron masks.”

When after… ?
Damn it
Could it be that he ran while hiding through the hallway walls and high ceilings?!
I had to raise my arm to cover my face… !
No, did you aim for this?
By figuring out the weakness of my armor?

“Sister Agnes… !”

“It is time to pay off the debt.
Dispel Magic.”

“”Dispel Magic!””

The Royal Magic Division ran behind Sister Anise and the royal knights and guards in the corridor.
They try to close the portal with a dispel magic spell.
No!
If the dimensional gate closes before we arrive, those who pass through now might be in danger… !

“Mental suppression!”

Coo kung!

“Big?!”

“Mmm, the head?!”

“Ouch… !”

The nuns and wizards have high intelligence and strong mental barriers, so they cannot be held for long by spirit-type magic, and cannot be strongly eaten.
This is the reason why I was always at a disadvantage in the Demon Magic Tournament, even in a one-on-one match.

Well… Tzu Geuk!

“Big… That’s it… !”

I pulled out the blade of the scythe that had dug into my armpit, and grabbed the spearhead of the long scythe.
Then, he thrust Master’s dagger into Sister Agnes’ stomach.

Spaw!

Agnes rolls backwards to avoid releasing the reaping scythe.

“Shoot!
Never mind me!”

“Launch!”

Puppy pup!

The crossbowmen hiding behind the shield soldiers fired their crossbows all at once, and Agnes jumped up as if she would touch the hallway ceiling with a jump in place.
No, not even fleas!
What kind of jumping power is that?!

Shun Shu-Shuong!

I also tighten my legs and kick the hallway wall alternately from side to side and jump up to avoid it.
Arrows passing narrowly down.

“Summons.”

Tsutsutsu… !

“Sheesh! Annoying!”

Sister Agnes, who recovers the scythe of harvest that was stolen from me by summoning.
Damn it, I’m bleeding so I can’t keep avoiding it!

“” “Dispel Mae…”””

“Mind pollution!”

It is difficult to break through a wizard’s mental barrier with mental magic, but it is easy to cancel a spell cast.
Spellcasting is a very delicate process of redeploying the natural forces with their original magic.
Calculation formula, circuit composition, rearrangement of natural force, maintenance of magical power flow… I have a lot to do.
It is different from Taoist magic that activates both imagination and enlightenment at once.

We have to protect the portal somehow!
The kids who went first should be safe at this point, but I have to go in too!

“Strike!”

Wow!!

The spearmen rushing after seeing me alone.
It’s a straight corridor, so it’s scary even if you just line up and run through it!
Furthermore.

Sereung.

From the air to the vacuum of Sister Agnes!

“Chit!”

Use swordsmanship to cut illusions and invisible things!

The home country swordsman, Jeongmu Sword!

It slashes the side of a slash that flies in the air with a neat diagonal slash.

Puff! Phew!

Parrying that is closer to ‘knock out’ rather than ‘shedding’.
My favorite sword, ‘Nene ♥ Kamu’, is a magic sword, so it can beat qigong skills, magic, miracles, etc. With normal sword skills without sword skills.
In addition, it is even easier if it is a Jeongmu sword that can withstand magic and Qigong slashes!
However, as if that is not right, Sister Agnes’ hands become busy.

Pod!

Scythe of Harvest Second form, twin scythe.

Shu Shu Shuk!
Snap! Snap, Snap!

By shortening the length of the scythe, it became easier to wield.
A vacuum rampage.

Wow!!

“Stick the first row!”

Vacuum in the air.
Poke through the window on either side of the hallway.
What I chose…

Mental control delayed activation.

The target is the spearmen in the back.
Activates after 3 seconds.
The content is ‘Poke the person in front of you.’

One.

Cacan! Kang! Kang! Visor!

“Heh, heh… !”

“I almost got it!”

“Force!”

2.

“It’s a giant!
If we catch him, let’s fix it!
Kill!”

3.

Pupuk! Hooked!

“Uh… ?”

“Big… !”

“Keuk!”

“What, what are you doing! Allies!”

The 2nd row of spearmen stabs the 1st row of shieldmen, and the 3rd row of spearmen stabs the 2nd row of spearmen.
There are quite a few enemies with a mental barrier, so magic bounces off them, but even controlling some of them is enough to confuse them.
Now I know who the magic works for.
Only troops capable of mental attacks were designated and magic was used.

Mental control, the order is ‘magic attack’.
Mental pollution, madness.

“Kuaa!”

Fu-wook!

“What, what are you doing?!
Protect the mage!”

“Hey, these guys… !”

“Jackie!
Now wait, it’s me! Aww!”

Confusion erupted in an instant.

Puff!

As I set off a smoke screen back and forth, confusion reached its peak.
Alright, let’s dive into the portal!
It’s almost time to close, so hurry up and throw yourself away… !

“Dispel magic.
Summons a whirlwind.”

Dig… !
Whoops-!

A gust of wind from the end of the corridor blows away my smoke screen and closes the dimensional door that was my destination.
My God, the portal is so easy to reach?
Did the royal wizards memorize long spells like that?
Is that a double spell?
Could this be… !

“Russo!”

A person equipped with a fire-colored wizard’s clothes and a wizard’s attire.
Archmage Russo.

“Everyone come out!”

Papapat!

Sister Agnes lands to my left.
Rousseau blocks the corridor on the right.
Behind the two, the undisturbed soldiers hid behind their backs.

So what are my options?

“Eh!”

Kwa Dang Tang!

The portal is gone, so we have to find another way!

“Catch it!!”

I close the door to the king’s bedroom that I broke earlier, and knock down the closet near the entrance to block it.
And… Dada dot!

Clink!

Break the window and jump down.
Down in the dark.
Can you land?

Taoism, ‘cat’s steps’!

Increased movement speed, erased footsteps and footsteps, and even reduced fall damage.
It’s an option that I can’t throw away, so it’s my favorite technique.

Tadat, pat!

“Oh, my son!”

Grab the window frame to slow down, grab the window frame downstairs and break through the window one floor below.
At the same time, the hair is pulled out and thrown out.

Fuck! Pew-!

When I snap my fingers, my hair turns into my alter ego, lands and runs swiftly.

Kwak!

“Catch him!
Chase!”

“Big… !”

For a moment, in the room two floors below, I applied a hemostatic agent and took painkillers.
I haven’t had enough strength in my left arm since earlier, damn it… !
Still, since I sent the alter ego, I drew attention for a while.
So, do some maintenance…

I’m sorry! Kong!

“Fuck…”

It was a dog.
