90 – Assassination of the Princess (5)

An executive of the Demon King’s Army who fights for the first time since the last fight with the Succubus Queen.

Before the first performance evaluation, he was so weak that he often just got hit.

In the fight against the Succubus Queen, he was honestly only capable of compatibility and holding on.

If we had risked our lives in a fight, there is a high probability that we would have lost.

But now.

‘I think it’s worth trying.’

During the final exam, Karen almost died due to the devil.

I felt so ashamed.

I was so arrogant when people around me praised me as a warrior.

At best, I can’t even touch the professor’s collar.

So after that, I worked hard to prevent something like that from happening again.

So that Karen never gets hurt again in front of my eyes.

As a result, he would have become as strong as a member of the Demon King’s Army.

“······.”

“······.”

There was silence between the two for a moment.

Even though they weren’t doing anything, they were looking at each other’s gaps and targeting each other.

‘I have to make them come in first.’

Usually it is a surefire win, but using it is one way.

The moment when a gap was created between the two.

-Whoop!

Baran rushes in as if he had been waiting for this moment.

Are you sure he was an assassin? His speed was much faster than that of the Demon King Army executives I had seen so far.

However.

“It’s not something that can’t be stopped.”

“What…!”

Did he not even think that his attack would be blocked? Baran opened his eyes wide and was shocked.

Sai takes advantage of the gap created by such a guy.

-Woah!

Exuded bright divinity.

I swung the sword sideways.

His sword strikes cutting through the air.

Baran looked somewhat surprised.

Soon, he quickly turned into a shadow and dodged.

“Tsk!”

The next moment, Baran had widened the distance before he knew it.

Soon, he says.

“It’s completely different from what I heard.”

“What did I hear that makes it different?”

“From what I heard, it’s the only thing you can do to hold out against the queen…”

The queen he was talking about was none other than the succubus queen.

Sai raised the corners of his mouth and answered.

“Time has passed, so it’s natural to get stronger.”

“····If someone were to look at it, they would think at least a few years had passed.”

Baran narrows his eyes and looks dumbfounded.

He continues speaking.

“I don’t know why they placed this guy first, but it’s okay. Looking at your growth now, it would be dangerous to leave you alive. “I will kill you here.”

With those words, his body completely turned into a shadow.

At the same time.

-Wooow!

The shadows gathered together and then.

-Whaaa!!

Demon energy made of shadows attacked.

Like a dragon blowing its breath.

A shadow demon flying, tearing the air.

I haven’t even touched it yet, but I’m getting goosebumps running down my spine.

But, why?

“······.”

It’s definitely an attack strong enough to kill you if you get hit.

It’s an attack so threatening that it makes you break out in a cold sweat, but why does it seem like nothing special?

Sai radiated divinity from his body.

-Whaaa!!

In the next moment, divinity comes out as if it will completely light up the maze.

He slowly concentrated his divinity into the sword.

-Wow!

Divinity slowly gathering in the sword.

Just before the shadow demon approaches.

-Whoop!

Sai lowered his sword vertically as slowly as possible.

Then.

-Kwasik!

Baran’s shadow magic was completely split.

Is that all it is?

“Damn it!”

The slash thrown by Sai tore through the air and advanced.

Baran frowned at the unexpected counterattack.

At the same time.

-Quaaang!

Dust rose up where Baran was.

I can’t see what happened to him because of the dust.

However, is it because of the experience of being beaten by Elric so far? His next move can be predicted.

Obviously.

“We will surprise you from behind.”

“What?!”

While blocking Baran’s surprise attack with his sword without even looking back.

He had expected it a little since he saw his shadow moving.

He will one day move into his own shadow.

“The movements are obvious.”

He clenched his fist.

And at the same time condensing divinity into his fist.

“Wow!”

It was inserted precisely into Baran’s abdomen.

Next moment.

-Quaaang!

Baran is thrown into the wall on the other side.

When the dust cleared completely, Baran was seen clutching his abdomen with blood streaming from the corner of his mouth.

It seems that the tenacity is not that strong.

If you look at the fact that he fell after one attack.

“Hmm. “Have I become stronger?”

He looked at his hands for a moment and muttered.

Soon, Baran asked with an incredulous expression.

“How on earth did you know? “You mean I’m going to move back?”

“Hmm?”

“Until now, no one has ever noticed. But how could you, who are just a student, be so strange?”

“Isn’t it strange that you can’t expect it? Our professor once told us a story. Originally, assassins target people’s backs. And just by looking at the shadow it moves, it is clear where it will move. “Especially if your view is completely blocked.”

After listening to him for a while, his brain stopped.

It can be said that the force is strong.

But, a guy who looks like he doesn’t have much actual combat experience can engage in such advanced psychological warfare.

What kind of monster is Elric trying to turn this hero into?

“I see what you’re saying. From what I can see, they only killed the weak ones.”

Would he go so far as to ignore himself, one of the executives of the Demon King’s army?

When Baran was dumbfounded.

“Then, let’s slowly finish it.”

Sai approaches slowly, raising his sword.

I wouldn’t know if my physical strength was fully recovered.

It is absurd to beat him in his current condition.

Escape was almost impossible in the first place.

Isn’t your body moving properly right now?

‘Is this the end?’

The moment I think about that.

-Woooooh.

Suddenly, the inner pocket of the bag started to vibrate.

Sai took out a communication crystal ball from his pocket.

Soon, I received a call while tilting his head.

“Yes. Professor. I’m going to finish it now. Yes? Don’t do it? Why? Yes? Crazy… It’s clear that the professor is the devil. Anyway, you’re telling me not to finish it, right? Yes. All right.”

After breaking off contact, Sai looks down at Baran with very sad eyes.

Baran couldn’t understand the pitiful look in Sai’s eyes.

‘What is it? ‘Why are you making that face?’

While he did not understand, Sai put the sword back into the subspace ring.

At the same time.

“Appear!”

Ran appeared in front of the two people.

As if he had been waiting for this moment.

“You…!”

Baran opens her eyes wide as she looks at her.

Ran approached Sai without paying attention to his reaction.

“Thank you for your hard work! “Now then, go to the waiting room and take a look.”

“Hmm. Okay.”

“Ah! And because you had a hard time here too. “Eat this and get moving!”

At that time, she ran to her Ododo and placed one of her potions in front of her servant.

Baran is taken aback by her sudden kindness.

Ran ignored his reaction and disappeared along with her Sai.

“What is it? “Is this a trap again?”

I glanced at the potion in front of me for a moment.

I checked to see if there was any poison in it, but on the outside, there seemed to be no problem.

No. From the beginning.

‘Is there any reason to take poison there?’

Even if it wasn’t for that, there was a chance to kill him.

There is no need to kill him by poisoning him with a potion.

‘I don’t know what it is.’

If we continue like this, dying is as obvious as fire.

Baran put the potion in front of him into his throat.

Then.

“It’s not a trap…”

The abdomen that was hit by Sai has recovered to some extent.

“I don’t know why you restored me, but you will regret it.”

With those words, he took his steps back along the road.

Without even knowing that there was hell behind here.

***

Video Baran walking along the road with a crystal ball.

For a moment, I looked at him with pitiful eyes.

‘I didn’t know you would feel sorry for the demons as you live.’

In fact, I did not order Baran to be saved.

To be precise, he said he hoped the princess would be saved.

The reason is none other than to cause him as much pain as possible.

“At this point, I wonder who is the devil…”

-That’s right. Lily.

Rich nodded, agreeing with what I said.

At that time.

“Hmm. “Then am I the devil?”

A cold, creepy voice came from behind me.

Rich and I slowly turned our heads.

Next moment.

“Professor?”

I saw the princess smiling brightly.

The moment I say yes, I feel like I will be caught up in something bad.

I shook my head quickly.

“Of course not. Yes?”

-Yes! You’re right! As Nari said, there is no way the beautiful princess is the devil! Ah! Absolutely!

“Right? Imagine being watched by demons for a week. “How creepy.”

“Hmm…”

I’ve been watched by some strange kid for years.

-Huh? Who is the owner?

Are you pretending not to know even though you know? Or do you really not know?

For a moment, I was taken aback by Jukchang’s question.

“I’m here. Professor.”

Ran and Sai appeared before my eyes.

I asked Sai a question.

“How do you feel about fighting with an officer of the Demon King’s Army?”

“Hmm. I definitely thought it was worth doing. If you thought it would be difficult before or that all you had to do was endure, might it be worth it to win this time? I had a strong feeling. Well, it could be because that guy let his guard down.”

While we were talking in detail about whether we had organized our thoughts while fighting.

And the last sentence is not wrong.

Baran thought Sai was just a strong guy.

It was then.

-Owner. Look at that assassin.

Jukchang asks to see Baran.

She looked away after hearing her words.

‘It really leaves me speechless.’

Baran being beaten up by Margaret and a group of women.

For some reason, the magical girls in children’s cartoons seem to purify the villains.

-Quaaa!

In reality, it would just be a merciless beating.

Baran screams in a deathly voice.

That time when I looked at him with pity.

“Professor. Now, please move the bamboo spear there.”

As if it’s not the end yet, they tell you to send Jukchang, the final boss.

No. How did he come up with such devilish thoughts?

-He is the disciple of that teacher.

With those words, Jukchang was moved to the last room.

***

Baran, who was beaten by a group of women, somehow succeeded in escaping.

If it weren’t for the shadow movement, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to escape.

He raised the corner of her mouth, not knowing that the female companion had intentionally let go.

‘There will be no more than this. ‘We have to escape from here quickly!’

I felt like I knew why the hero looked pitiful.

Baran hurriedly follows the road.

‘····Door?’

There was a door in front of me, as if it was an exit.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a trap or not.

If you don’t go in there, you will be caught by them.

-Kkiik!

Baran opened the door without hesitation.

At the same time.

“Hello?”

I saw a small child with pure white hair.

The moment she saw her, an alarm bell rang in her head.

Run away from the kid in front of her right now.

“f*ck.”

Baran quickly tried to open the door behind him.

However, contrary to expectations, the door does not budge.

The kid in front of her tilts her head and says.

“Don’t run away. “You just get hit a few times anyway.”

After those words, she must have slowly started to approach.
