Chapter 70 – Royal Capital Gaul (17)
Following Edelis’ advice, the party moved toward a place where the ‘body’ might be.
In the meantime, he encountered nobles and royalty inevitably.
As usual, Leon shared a conversation that was ordinary on the outside but thorny on the inside.
They didn’t know about other abilities, but they were terrifyingly good at their senses and senses, so unlike the knights I talked to before, I had to sweat every word they said.
I don’t think this is pointless fatigue.
I wanted to ignore everything and go, but that would get me in trouble.
As a result, progress was slow.
How far did you go through the maze-like palace?
It was a moment.
Strangely, silence lingered.
I couldn’t feel the popularity or the secret gaze anymore.
It gave rise to the illusion that something was wrong.
It is as if all life has died from this space.
I wonder if it was only Leon who felt that way, and the expressions of the other party members also strangely hardened.
Edelis said.
“I will hurry.”
As she hurried along, she soon saw a closed door.
Beyond this, an antique corridor spreads out.
This is the place where Edelis and the “Body” Leon often quarreled after the ‘doppelganger’ Leon was created.
To say it was a quarrel, it was an argument close to an argument.
‘Shall I stay here?’
It is a place where memories that are not good even if you think objectively are located.
But why did Edelis think he was here?
You never know.
Is it a woman’s intuition?
Edelis pushed the closed door.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day.
As she pushed through the large door, she saw a corridor as expected.
It’s night, but it’s not too dark with torches hanging on the walls.
Torches swaying in the wind illuminated the surroundings with a bright light.
It was before the other party could take in the surrounding scenery.
Wheeeee
The wind blew.
A thick bloody smell wafted in the wind.
Everyone’s alertness sharpened.
It’s bloody in the palace.
It was an obvious anomaly.
In the foreground, I could see people who had fallen down like weeds.
When I followed that line of sight and reached the end of the corridor, there were two people there.
A purple-haired nun with shadows split into forks like the legs of a cephalopod creature.
And a blonde man who collapsed on the floor bleeding.
The man was ‘Leon’ whom he had been looking for so long.
He was unconscious as if he had been attacked.
“Lowering!”
The sight must have cracked Edelis’ reason, so she took a step forward.
The trembling felt so strong that if Leon, his doppelganger, hadn’t raised his hand to stop him, he wouldn’t have run out and cut that girl down right away.
“Hmm?”
A small nun, her Gina nodded her head.
She put in a lot of effort.
Because there were so many obstacles, I had a hard time clearing them up.
The case was staged in a riotous manner, but in any case, if there were no witnesses, wouldn’t it be an assassination?
I thought it was finally over.
… I thought, but there are obstacles left.
Were there still small pikes left?
Guy Dipole, I think you made a pretty tricky order.
Gina did such contemplation and found Astein and Arya.
“Who is this?”
Why are you here
The wick in my heart is set on fire.
It burns brightly.
The enemy said to meet on a single wooden bridge, isn’t that the case?
That’s great.
Shall we say hello?
Gina gave a sly smile.
Then there is a ripple.
The atmosphere rang.
The shadow beside Gina ran through the space.
Chaeeng!
Einstein came forward and knocked out three shadows.
It is said that even if it rots, it is a warrior who can clearly capture the shadow even in this darkness.
Meanwhile, Arya checks on Gina and she trembles.
“… Pass?”
“Did you do something very shallow in my absence?”
By shallow, I’m sure you’re referring to an act that harmed Bishop Rhonin.
Leon and Edelis rushed at her, but Gina skillfully fell behind her.
Azazel, seeing this, snapped her hand.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a light-year dressed as a nun and trying to assassinate a prince.”
Several stone hands reach out from the ground and aim for Gina.
It is Azazel’s magic.
Gina turned the shadow beneath her feet into a blade, slashing her approaching stone hand.
What gap was it?
Einstein was already out of the way.
Gina smiled coldly at the hero who closed her distance with her high speed.
“It’s pretty fast, you beast.”
Cooong!
There was a shock wave.
A dull shock shook Einstein’s stomach.
Einstein saw what he blocked with the Holy Sword.
It was a stabbing blow that Jina made her spear out of her shadow.
It’s hard to believe that she radiates from her dwarf-looking body.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day.
An exciting stab that scratches the surface of the holy sword.
However, the durability advantage could not cover the holy sword.
Gina pursed her lips and grumbled.
“It was and still is a needlessly strong sword.”
Her spear slithered like a snake, and she struck the blade of the holy sword.
Fighting!
It looks like a light blow, but the power contained in it is considerable.
Before the holy sword crashed to the floor, Einstein managed to stop it from descending with force.
However, there was no ingenuity to stop Gina’s follow-up.
A spear that bends like a whip.
Kaaaaang!
Azazel, who judged that it was dangerous, made a wall to rise from the ground to block the spear’s advance, and Einstein took advantage of the gap to avoid his body.
Also, Edelis and Leon caught on both sides of Gina.
The two swordsmen follow.
As if it wasn’t worth blocking directly, she easily blocked it using her shadow.
Close to automatic defense.
Aria, watching this, unfolded her sexuality.
Reinforcement type protection? Or convalescence?
Gina watched her saintess for a moment.
And I realized
That spell was not aimed at the battle line.
The target she used her spell on was the fallen ‘Leon’.
Whoaaaaagh!
The prince who lost his life quickly healed, and his complexion returned.
Gina clicked her tongue.
A saintess who can cure severely injured people who are about to die.
From an assassin’s point of view, it’s not an easy bet.
We’re almost done.
The shadow deflected Edelis’s sword coming from the right.
He didn’t forget the ice spear created by Azazel, who was approaching afterwards.
Judging from the waves of mana felt on the ground, it seems that her ice spear was intended to lift the decoy ground and upset Jina’s balance.
If you know, don’t get hit.
She stepped back.
Behind her, Einstein was waiting as if she had waited.
The Holy Sword is coming.
No matter how old they are, even if they are high-ranking demons who live forever, the holy sword is a contradictory item.
Moreover, since even the power was given to Ronin, it is quite harmful if hit.
‘But I won’t be beaten by a young hero.’
Gina rotated her body.
She used her centripetal force to strike her sword with her spear.
Aaaaang!
It was hard to believe that it was the sound coming from swords and spears.
At this point, it is safe to say that the prayer binic has been thrown away.
Explodes shadows to randomly attack surroundings.
Each one is not powerful, but multiple attacks should be able to take out the soul quite a bit.
In fact, they suffered minor injuries.
It was a significant blow.
If you drain her stamina like this, it will work in Gina’s favor.
“Do you think I will leave it like that?”
Arya, who finished Leon’s treatment, healed her comrades who suffered minor injuries with her spell again.
Gina’s annoyance deepened.
She always was
She always was
What annoys you the most at a warrior party?
It is not a warrior who draws aggro because he is ignorantly strong, an archer who blows a check from a distance, or a wizard who takes time and shows insane firepower.
The existence that makes them all endure and connects them.
Priest.
This priest was the most pissed off.
However, Gina cannot immediately go after Arya.
It is because the walls that protect her are unexpectedly strong.
‘Three lines.’
I don’t know if it’s those who don’t have skills.
It wasn’t something to be ignored.
Gina responded by deftly brandishing her spear.
They were pushed by numbers and focused on defense, but they couldn’t easily break through Gina’s defense.
Because it is sturdy and sturdy.
The experience and strength accumulated over many years cannot be underestimated.
Percussion.
Gina widened the distance to clear her disturbed breathing.
Her faint moonlight from her crescent moon shone on her like a spotlight on her.
Einstein snorted.
“That nun at that time.”
“You have a good memory, hero?”
“Did you hide your power?”
“I never hid it. You just didn’t notice.”
Their confrontation did not last very long.
The doppelganger, Leon, was questioning Gina.
“Are you also Gina?”
You?
Gina felt curious.
Interesting words uttered by a being that resembles the man he just tried to kill.
How can I just skip this?
“What do you mean?”
She said, “She also introduced herself to the demons she met before.”
Gina raised the corner of her mouth as if she had any idea.
“Have you met that little boy?”
“Are you a demon too?”
At Leon’s question, Gina snorted at her.
Demon?
Is she herself?
“I gave up on that.”
“Are you giving up?”
Gina shook her head at Leon’s question.
It’s not worth telling them that far.
“You’ll regret not killing the prince right here.”
At those words, Edelis spat out as if in a fit.
“The wrong man speaks nonsense!”
Gina squinted her eyes as she plugged her ears with her hands.
“Well, you’ll see that later.”
She turned her gaze to Einstein.
It was Gina’s sharp gaze, as if she was looking for a gap in her.
Is a tiger cub also a tiger?
“It’s heavy duty. What did you say to him?”
Dipole said that he must kill the second prince.
Otherwise, great bad luck will come to the king and Gaul.
But look at them.
It doesn’t seem like they’d willingly offer up the prince’s head.
He’s digging his own grave.
Gina stepped up onto her corridor with her light steps.
She saw Arya.
Arya also saw Gina.
“You will be back soon.”
Arya’s pupils dilated.
Come back
Who?
“You can look forward to it.”
Thump, thump, thump.
Arya felt an unpleasant sensation of something around her neck.
Like shackles, like chains.
Breathing is difficult
Tears seem to fill up.
“Excuse me?”
“Your master is coming.”
Aria trembled at Gina’s words.
A gripping fear.
It can’t be.
Because he’s dead
Because Einstein got rid of it.
“It’s bullshit.”
“Huh, think about what’s convenient for you.”
Arya denied it.
“Lie.”
Einstein’s sword went into light and released a torrent of strong light.
Gina narrowly avoided her and left her seat without saying a word.
“It is absolutely true.”
