Chapter 116 – Assassination Order (6)

“Devil worshipers are here!”

Bear traps and hounds were pros. Professionals don’t try to understand the situation. They were human beings who chose the best according to their intuition. As soon as the first shout rang out, the two men met each other’s eyes. The hound began to randomly stuff torture tools and items necessary for the operation into the bag, and the bear trap pulled out its stinger while looking at the entrance.

“Fuck, did the mirage fail?”

“In addition, it seems to have reached the location of the hideout. He said he had no one to trust, so it seems that the Mirage man is also senile.”

“Let’s bounce quickly! Is there any sign of someone coming? It will take some time to get everything.”

Bear Trap said with a leisurely laugh.

“You can do it slowly. You set a lot of traps at the entrance, right? Unless a heavily armed knight comes, those traps cannot be penetrated.”

The hound seemed to be relieved somehow by the confident smile of the bear trap.

“Ah, that, but it’s my first time fighting devil worshipers, so, what if they put a curse on me? Generation after generation of deformed children…”

“Holly Protect.”

Rumia neatly ignored the whining guard captain. Each time she chanted her spell, white debt accumulated on the guard’s body. At first, the guard commander, who was trembling with anxiety, felt that his body was overflowing with energy, and his expression gradually changed to a confident expression.

“Ah, I will get rid of demons. Do not worry too much.”

They were now in front of the cave. The soldier following the captain of the guard whispered.

“By the way, who shouted that there are devil worshipers? It’s not our voice.”

“Aren’t you our kid? I must have just heard wrong.”

The commander of the guard stamped his foot with a spirited expression. The soldiers forgot the topic of conversation they were sharing and looked at them in admiration at the majestic appearance, like a bull fighting a bullfighter. Rumia said.

“Now, don’t worry about the traps and just go ahead. God’s power will protect you.”

“Aaaaa!”

The captain of the guard charged forward, brandishing his weapon like a fabled berserker.

*******

“Aaaaa!”

Hearing the guard’s scream, the bear trap snorted. Young men who recklessly tried to catch an assassin would always fall into a trap and die in vain. His ridicule also contained condolences for the dead youth.

“What, who is going to commit suicide…”

Bang!

“…Uh?”

But the mourning for the bear trap didn’t quite end. It was because, before his mourning was over, the reckless young man broke through the trap by burning himself.

Bang!

Bang!

“Uh huh?”

The bear trap was aware of the traps it had set. A trap that shoots out poisonous needles when stepped on, instantly killing a person. A trap that breaks people’s bones by protruding heavy iron balls, and a trap that breaks people’s feet by driving stakes into small pits. A trap where a crossbow shoots out and pierces the temple.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

“Aaaaa!”

But everything was pointless. It was because the man in shining armor was scattering fragments of the trap in all directions, finally reaching the hiding place. The wooden fence that blocked the entrance collapsed like a dead end, just like the trap that had previously kept intruders out.

The hounds that were packing their belongings and the bear traps that were holding poison darts were hardened by that ignorant appearance.

The sunlight coming through the cracks in the cave and the brilliance radiating from his body were exquisitely mixed, and it was to the point of falling into an illusion as if a hero from a legend had appeared. The hound stared at the guard captain, fascinated, and the bear trap groaned and backed away.

“What, what! What the fuck! Die! Die. Monster!”

However, the stinger he shot was blocked by Rumia’s sturdy protection magic, so it couldn’t even scratch. Watching the venom needles aimed precisely at the eyes and forehead break in vain, the bear trap finally lost his fighting spirit and fell to his knees.

“This… Fuck… !”

“You filthy devil worshippers. Did you think that by setting a trap like this, you could prevent the execution of justice?”

And in the bright light, a lofty woman with her blonde hair was walking straight ahead. She was dressed in priestly clothes, and she had the same radiance as the captain of the guards. The bear trap reflexively tried to draw more stingers, but when it saw the glow, it sat still again.

“Sir! Look at that! It’s a demon corpse! You filthy devil worshipers! Have you tried to summon a demon and failed? Or were you trying to resurrect a demon corpse?”

The guardsman shouted as he looked around the room. As a side effect of overdosing on divine magic, he was in a slightly emotional state. Lumia also looked at the captain of the guard with a slightly puzzled face, then moved her gaze to follow his fingers.

The black demon’s corpse was lying in a leather bag. Neither the hounds nor the bear traps could understand the current situation. Someone had set a trap. I couldn’t tell if it was a mirage or Evan, but it was clear that someone was calling them devil worshipers to blow their noses without touching them.

The hound twisted his face.

“Devil worshipers! No forgiveness! Take my sword!”

Like a drugged man, the captain of the guard drew his sword and snorted at him. The trembling figure looked like a murderer, and the bear trap shrank involuntarily. The hound shouted before his sword struck the bear trap.

“Hey, wait a minute! Hey, this is a false name! This is a trap! We are not devil worshipers! Come on, look!”

The hound poured out its sacks in front of Rumia and the captain of the guard. The sacks were littered with brutal instruments of torture and assassination plans. The hound smiled while breaking out in a cold sweat, and Lumia narrowed her eyes to examine the blades that had fallen in front of her feet.

“It is an instrument of torture. It is clear that this is torturing people into demons.”

The hound shook his head. He said as he rolled up his top and took off the top of the bear trap sitting next to him.

“No! That means we are not devil worshipers! Ruler! There are no unholy symbols in this instrument of torture! Our body! Isn’t there such a symbol on our bodies too!”

Rumia nodded her head with her calm face.

“You don’t even have an unclean symbol tattooed on your body to pretend you’re not a devil worshiper. They are really nasty people.”

The hound seemed to go mad with resentment. If he died, he wanted to die better than this. He did not want to die caught up in a crime he did not commit. The hound shouted again.

“No! Why don’t you believe what people say! We are not devil worshipers! We are the Assassins! Look at this! With an assassination plan! It’s a torture plan I made to torture and kill the target! Now look at this!”

Rumia and the captain of the guard began to read the page he held out in silence. Rumia’s expression darkened. The chief of the guard looked at the report for a long time with his eyes narrowed, and his face turned red. Tendons sprouted from his arms and face, and his eyes turned white.

“Ugh… ! Eww… ! You, these devilish bastards! How dare you try to inflict such cruel torture on a human being!”

The hound looked at the bear trap. The bear trap cast a pitiful glance at the hound. Said the Hound with a laugh.

“Sorry. Friend. Come to think of it, torture and murder were also illegal.”

The guard’s sword rose high into the sky. The hound faced the knife flying right in my face. There was always something I was curious about during torture. If your bare skin is cut off, how much does it hurt? It was a question that the people I had tortured would never answer.

“You must be a devil worshiper! You guys don’t even need a trial! Die here!”

The hound opened his arms. The head of the hound was cut in half by the head of the guard. His sword didn’t stop there, and he pressed the blade even more, cutting the body of the hound dangling from the face in half. As if looking at a human anatomy, the two neatly cut sections face the bear trap.

The bear trap alternated between the hound’s gruesome corpse and the guard’s captain.

“Die. Devil worshipers and murderers.”

He raised his sword high. The Bear Trap lowered its head and shouted.

“It’s all what he did! I don’t know anything! Please save me!”

The guard’s knife stopped. The bear trap looked expectantly at the captain. However, the captain of the guard did not believe his excuse. Rather, he was looking at the bear trap with an even more furious face.

“Looking at the way you make excuses, you are the main culprit! You despicable bastard! You can tell just by looking at it! The suffering of the victims you killed! Let me feel it with your body!”

The bear trap distorted his face. He shouted in an urgent tone.

“Wait a minute! Wait for a sec! Aaaaa!”

A ghastly scream echoed through the cave.

The demon’s corpse and the gruesome bodies of two worshipers were loaded onto the guard’s wagon. The guard captain, who had been briefly excited by the elixir of an overdose of divine magic, lost his senses when he faced the horror he had inflicted, and the guards had long since lost their words at the terrible murder committed by the captain.

Only Rumia, cool and composed, led the soldiers to load the pieces of the murderers’ bodies. She wiped the blood from her face and sang her hum.

Be very quiet so others can’t hear you.

*****

At that time, Evan was basking in the sun and drinking wine with his family.

Lying on the back of her chair, she raised her wine glass and shouted her toast.

“For love and justice.”

“For!”

Sophia echoed her words and clinked her glasses together.
