Chapter 40 – Infiltration – 2
It was quite easy to infiltrate the palace.
Even without the skills of a thief, no one suspected anything thanks to the power of the artifact.
My appearance now will look the same as the guards.
Since awareness has been lowered, there is almost no chance of being caught.
“But… What are those guys? “
There are strange guys hovering around.
At first, I thought it was a servant in the palace.
However, just in case, I hid myself and turned around, but he suddenly turned and was following me.
Have you been caught?
Their behavior was strange.
It’s as if a tracker has been installed on my body, and it’s following me.
“Did I step on some strange magic somewhere?”
I should have studied magic.
After infiltrating the palace, I may have touched or touched something wrong.
Considering the current situation, that is highly likely.
If you discover an intruder, the first thing you should do is inform the surrounding people.
But the people who are secretly chasing me like that mean they’re dirty people.
A guy who behaves badly while in the palace.
It would be safe to think of him as a fake Sylvia’s assassin.
It might have worked out better.
Thanks to the artifact, I noticed the situation before they did.
I have an overwhelming advantage.
“Just be stupid and follow me.”
They followed me to the garden without hesitation.
Without even dreaming that I was waiting.
The palace garden is larger and well-decorated than expected.
It is made up of numerous grasses, trees, and flowers, as if to represent the national power of the Loomis Kingdom, so the view is greatly obscured when you enter.
It is truly the perfect place for a surprise attack.
As I hid completely in the bushes and waited, the two guys slowly approached.
Thanks to weakening their perception of me as much as possible, they had no idea that I was behind the bushes.
They were looking closely at the bead emitting a faint light.
Did you know where I was going with that?
Fortunately, it seems they don’t know the exact distance.
If that were the case, I would have realized that it was hiding in the bushes right in front of me.
The guys made eye contact and gave signals to go back down the path blocked by the bushes.
Just as he was about to turn around, he quickly pulled out his sword and plunged it into one of the guy’s necks.
“Keuok…”
Short terminal.
Due to the unexpected surprise attack, the guy immediately lost his breath and fell to the floor.
“Nice to meet you.”
“…!”
The remaining guy’s face quickly turns pale, as if he’s seen a ghost.
The guy quickly put his hand inside his chest, as if he was trying to pull out a weapon to respond, but it was enough time to pierce his heart.
“Knock…”
The sword pierced through the hand in my arms and penetrated straight into my heart.
The body that appeared in an instant was immediately hidden in the bushes.
Surprisingly, assassins are weak against being ambushed.
It wasn’t easy when I dealt with it before, but this time I reversed my stance and made a surprise attack, so it was easier than I thought.
Maybe it’s because my abilities are stronger than before.
“Okay… Then, I’ve done my job, what should I do next?”
The situation has already been recognized by both parties.
The purpose of assassination has already failed.
If you still use the artifact, it will be easy to run away.
Instead, unless the enemy is a fool, it will be more difficult the next time you infiltrate.
Maybe there won’t be a second chance.
“Fortunately, they don’t seem to want to cause too much trouble.”
I don’t think there will be a better opportunity than now to target fake Sylvia.
As I thought that, my steps were already heading towards the palace.
No matter how big the palace was, it didn’t take long to reach Sylvia’s bedroom.
A gorgeous and extravagantly decorated door.
Just open this, and you will see the fake Sylvia for yourself.
It’s probably not a trap or something that escaped.
Err, I don’t know.
Squeak-
What greeted me when I opened the princess’s bedroom was an unexpected situation.
Fake Sylvia in a white dress.
And there was a corpse rolling on the floor that appeared to be that of a nobleman.
“Why don’t you come in?”
Fake Sylvia was smiling with a relaxed yet sexy smile.
A bewitching yet glamorous atmosphere.
If anyone were to see her now, they would immediately realize that she was fake.
“It’s good to see you confident.”
There was nothing good about staying in the hallway, so I went into the bedroom and closed the door.
“You’re Eugene, right?”
“What if I say no?”
“Hmm···. Well. I think I might be in a similar situation to the man rolling around here.”
As the bewitching eyes stare at me, a cold sensation envelops my entire body.
All of her heightened senses were telling her that she was not an ordinary being.
“For now, let’s just say it’s true.”
“That’s a good thing. She waited on purpose, but if it had been someone else, she might have been a little disappointed? Hehe… “
The way she looked at me was like looking at a fun toy.
An attitude that gives you confidence that you can defeat it at any time.
I felt like the corpses rolling on the floor proved that.
“I’m just asking out of curiosity. Is that person on the floor a colleague?”
“No way. Are these lower races your colleagues? “The joke is too harsh.”
With this, I am 100% sure.
The senses and attitude felt from her.
Definitely not human.
“Humans are, at best, lackeys.”
“As a fellow human being, it’s a bit uncomfortable to hear.”
“Ah! You are the exception. Even though I was a disruptor, I’ve never met a person as unpredictable as you.”
“Thank you so much for that.”
She twists her words and takes her hand to the sheath.
“To fight?”
A playful tone.
However, from my perspective listening to it, I felt like I was getting goosebumps all over my body.
A chilling sensation spreads like poison.
“It’s not like we’re going to make up and leave, huh?”
“It’s not wrong, but if I had intended to fight, I would have killed you right away when I entered this room, right?”
Fake Sylvia playfully pretended to slit her throat with her lustful hand gestures.
Confident attitude.
I guess not…
“Are you a dragon?”
Chilly silence.
What broke it was fake Sylvia’s laughter.
“Foot… Haha… That sounds interesting. I liked you.”
Fortunately, judging from her reaction, it doesn’t seem to be a dragon.
That didn’t make the ominous feeling that enveloped her body go away, but it did provide some comfort.
“If not, then I have a chance of winning.”
“If you’re thinking of killing someone for fun, you might have a good chance of winning, right?”
Grumbling-
She pulls the sword out of her scabbard and points it at the fake Sylvia.
Anything will work out as long as it’s not a dragon.
At least if you cut her throat, she will die.
“It’s good to fight, but before that, how about listening to the proposal?”
“Suggestion?”
“I already killed this guy, so I need someone to do the work for him.”
Percussion—!
When she snaps her fingers, a black air current appears and sticks to her body.
The corpse quickly turned to bone in a matter of seconds and quickly disappeared as if it had never existed, leaving no trace of dust.
“How is it? I will listen to whatever you want as much as I can. Female. Money. Authority. “Anything”
“No matter how much I think about it, I think I’ll end up with the same ending as the body that just disappeared.”
If you join hands with a guy like this, the end will definitely not be very good.
A being that casually kills humans.
You don’t have to deeply imagine what will happen if it becomes useless.
“Ah… That’s a misunderstanding. Even though he is like this, he is good to his talented subordinates. “This guy was so incompetent that I discarded him.”
I guess the monster in front of me doesn’t know that what I just said wasn’t a very good suggestion.
It’s not even worth listening to anymore.
“Unfortunately, that will be difficult.”
He puts strength into his hand holding the sword and charges at the fake Sylvia.
“I have no hobby of being loyal to a corpse.”
Just before the blade touches fake Sylvia’s neck.
Our eyes meet his ominous eyes.
The next moment, an incomparable amount of black air flowed out from the guy’s body.
“Keu… “
The body is forcibly pushed to the door by strong wind pressure.
When the airflow disappeared, and she opened her eyes, the fake Sylvia was gone.
No… To be precise, a being with a different appearance was standing there.
Beautiful pink hair.
Red eyes full of lust that makes you feel like you’re being sucked in.
Dressed only in black underwear that blends well with her white skin.
It seemed as if she was showing off her alluring body by exposing it.
And… It had wings similar to those of a devil on its back.
“Ah really. “It’s a hassle to transform again.”
“What is it?”
“There’s no need to tell me. I feel sorry for you, so should I tell you? “It’s a succubus.”
Succubus.
A dream demon that absorbs a man’s energy.
I never thought it actually existed.
There were no clear records of its existence in this world, so I didn’t notice it at all.
“For a creature that seduces men, I didn’t know it was so insignificant.”
“In today’s world, there wouldn’t be a succubus who works so inefficiently, right? “It is easy to absorb regular energy just by making men have dirty dreams at night.”
Are you saying they come and go without anyone knowing?
It’s quite possible that there are no records.
You can’t record that a succubus came and went just because you had a dirty dream.
“Then. “Let me scold you a little.”
A stream of black air gathered in her hand, and before she knew it, she was holding a whip with a black glow.
“Even a succubus will die if its head is cut off.”
“If you can do it…♥”
Whipping!
A whip being swung.
A black air current was wrapped around the whip.
The moment when the whip was struck by the sword.
A sound different from usual came to my ears.
Changgang-
“···Fuck”
The sword could not withstand the whip and broke.
