Chapter 26 – Episode 26 Legendary Items
I fell for the beauty world.
That was Verde’s impression.
An untainted, pure smile, comfortable and pleasant conversation, and frequent contact without resistance.
Above all, even a decent appearance that is not wary.
“I’m sorry…”
The mere thought of Rome’s face made her blush and her heart thump, and Verde assumed that she had been ‘worked’ under careful planning.
She was so perforated that she realized she couldn’t be that way if she thought about it coldly, but Verde, who was tightly capped, hadn’t even dreamed that she was leaping her logic.
“Hot…! Perhaps, when we first met her, I showed her sex on purpose…!?”
Recalling Rome’s big, long, big cock, which is suitable for turning women into females and dominating them, Verde’s face turns even redder with her astonishment.
“…Huh… It’s fun. But, I’m the vice-captain of the ‘Golden of Dawn’, the intelligence department directly under the emperor.
Having said that, she took several deep breaths as she gathered her equipment for battle.
“I-I mean… Let’s do it a few times…!”
She was a Verde who never thought of herself as an easy woman.
***
At dawn, when only moonlight illuminated the streets, I took Merina and Verde into the streets of the middle class.
Half of the [Heart brooch containing the wishes of the person who broke up] Was hanging from my collar, and I gave the other half to Monica just in case.
“Merina. How about the full body armor?”
At my words, Merina, dressed in golden full body armor accented with a red sun pattern, speaks in a shy voice.
“…It’s a new feeling. Really.”
“I guess so.”
I couldn’t see her expression because she was even wearing a helmet, but she was probably smiling bitterly. After she kicked herself out and was deemed dead, she put on the armor of the Imperial Knights again.
“Verde. She must have enough of her power to protect herself, right?”
“Don’t worry. It will never be a burden.”
Equipped with a pair of daggers and slightly thicker leather armor instead of her usual tight suit, as she spoke confidently, she couldn’t help but nod her head.
Well, it wouldn’t make sense if the intelligence department directly under the emperor lacked combat skills.
“Okay. Then let’s go.”
Approaching the middle class district, which was spinning around yesterday, as expected, I feel a sense of incongruity in the shadows of the surrounding buildings. In particular, the sense of incongruity felt in the shadows around the three-story mansion, which seemed to be the richest in the middle-class district, was intense.
“Can you feel something?”
“…I’m sure.”
Her Merina asked as she looked at me, and she nodded her head heavily.
“Seeing that I can’t feel it clearly even with my senses, it seems that they are trained assassins to the limit. It’s not just one or two.”
“That’s right…”
I haven’t felt anything yet, but listening to Merina, a former knight of the imperial family, makes me even more convinced.
“Inrush.”
Immediately after chanting in front of the building, he ran out first and broke down the front door.
“What, what!?”
“Who are you!”
The gatekeeper guarding the large gate was startled and tried to stop me, but when he saw Merina wearing the imperial knight’s armor, he stiffened on the spot.
“Uh, uh…?”
“That armor…!?”
Ignoring the absent-minded gatekeepers, I quickly broke into the front door and entered, then looked back at Merina.
“Merina! Where are more of them gathered?”
“This way!”
As I searched for a place where more assassins were concentrated, I broke through the door to the largest room at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
“What, what! Who are you guys!?”
The place he broke into was a library, with books tightly packed in several bookshelves, and there was even a sofa and desk for reading.
“I asked who you are! Guard! What are guards doing!?”
The middle-aged man shouting loudly had a plump body and a virtuous face, as if he had nothing to do with combat.
“Whoa…!”
I don’t like to think too much.
Among the many skills, the reason why he trained with a focus on blood energy was not only because he could convert divine power, but also because he could lose his reason and fight.
I haven’t grown to that stage yet… Anyway, I hate going through procedures or going round.
If you can solve it by force, isn’t it the fastest and most convenient way to do it?
“Suck!”
That’s why, I swung my sword with all my might at the fat middle-aged man in front of me.
“Huh…!?”
Chaeeng! Chaechaechaeng!
The attack with all my might was blocked, but a deep smile bloomed on my lips.
“…Bingo.”
Assassins are more sensitive to life than anyone else.
In the process of training to kill to live, on the contrary, you become most sensitive to living.
To be precise, it is to become sensitive to self-inflicted killing, but in the end, that is what it means.
If you can feel even the millimeters of life that you emit unconsciously, you can easily notice the life that others are sending.
“…How did you know? Hero rom.”
“Oh, have you been looking for some information about me?”
A sword was drawn from somewhere, and his body blurred as if fog spread, and then a tall, thin middle-aged man with a sharp impression, with tanned skin, appeared without a trace of fat and virtuous impression.
That skin color is the characteristic color seen in the western desert regions.
“…Whatever it is, you have to die because you saw me.”
Squeak, squeak.
When he gives a signal, the assassins hiding in the shadows of the study reveal themselves one after another.
Seeing this, I slightly pushed him away and opened the distance.
The distance to him was about three steps at a moderate pace. A bit far
“Kukkeuk. You’ve come to the right place. Merina, Verde. As I said before, capturing alive is the priority. However, if your life is in danger, I don’t mind killing you.”
Back! Back!
Little by little, with the power of his toes, he closed the distance so that he could not be noticed.
Even so, he was wearing shoes, so he moved slower than a snail… But it didn’t matter as long as he was within range.
“I see! Lord!”
“Yes! Mr. Rom!”
The skinny man who heard me opened his eyes.
“You’re so confident. Do you think you can beat us?”
“Of course.”
Spaw!
“…Uh?”
Unknowingly, the man whose right arm and right leg had been cut off opened his eyes a beat late.
“It’s pretty sneaky, right? Shall I try an assassin too?”
“Uh, how…!? When did you approach me!? I couldn’t see anything, let alone live…!”
“It’s like magic.”
It is the result of using the [Berserker’s Blood Crystal] To increase all physical abilities and mana by 1.5 times, and injecting a large amount of energy only into the muscle fibers of the right arm by injecting a large amount of energy into the muscle fibers of the right arm while simultaneously squeezing the muscles to the limit.
The key is whether you can cut off limbs with only the strength of your wrist.
In order not to be noticed by the other party, the only thing I moved was my wrist.
He couldn’t even live, and he didn’t even move from the top of his wrist, so from the guy’s point of view, it must be a ghost to wail.
Even, he was even careless against me.
He probably thought that since he had just become a hero, he couldn’t be his opponent.
“Hmm…”
Thump thump!
However, in order to make this attack successful, I squeezed my right wrist to the limit, so I don’t think I’ll be able to use my right arm for a while.
“Keep, ahh…!”
When the pain came a beat late and he collapses and makes a sound of pain, agitation spreads throughout the black assassins.
“Bo, Boss!?”
“Go, attack! Kill them all!”
“…!”
At the boss’s command, the assassins, who quickly captured the agitation, rushed with cold eyes. Also, not normal bettors. Did these guys come to the ecliptic for something to eat?
“It’s been a while since I fought with only my left arm…”
“Rom-sama! Are you okay!?”
“Lord!”
“Oh, don’t worry, you guys do it right.”
Whirik! Awesome!
“…Kwaaaaagh!?”
As the two legs of the approaching guy were cut off in an instant, Merina and Verde also came to their senses and grabbed their weapons tightly.
“Aaaaap!”
“Yeahap!”
Merina, as expected, was heavy.
Even as heavy as he was, he was wearing full body armor that had excellent defense capabilities, so he just accepted most of the attacks and swung his sword.
After all, you’re an imperial knight. Strong is strong
Although he couldn’t defeat me, he was not in a position where he could be forcefully pushed back if he were a knight of the imperial family. Not to mention, assassins aren’t the ones who compete head-to-head, so the pulse was even worse.
“Whoop!”
What was surprising was Verde.
She evaded her dagger with movements similar to those of her assassins, and was dutifully exchanging attacks. Even if she couldn’t get rid of them instantly like Merina, she was steadily reducing the number one by one.
“Good. Then all I have to do is…”
Awesome!
“Kwaaaaagh!?”
After splitting the torso of an attacking assassin in two, he gathered all his blood to shoot him.
“Whoa…Is it there!”
When the sufficiently compressed blood was directed toward the shadow of the bookshelf behind Verde, the assassin who was about to jump out and attack Verde hurriedly tried to stop the blood, but the blood entered the curved track and pierced his chest.
“Watch out for the shadows! They are assassins, not warriors!”
“Go, thank you!”
She seemed completely oblivious to the assassin trying to ambush her, but Verde looked at me with a surprised expression and nodded her head slightly.
Kwajik! Good luck!
“Kwaaaaagh!?”
“Aagh!”
How many minutes did the battle last?
By the time the tumultuous study became quiet, the only people standing were me, Merina, and Verde.
“Turn it off…!”
“Aaaaa…”
A few of the assassins died, but the survivors were numerous, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that this was a great victory.
“Whoa…Is anyone hurt?”
“Haa…I have no problem, lord.”
“Me too… Whoa, it’s okay. It’s a little scratched, but…”
“Scratched? Look.”
Approaching Verde, I saw minor wounds on his limbs.
“Now, drink this.”
When I took the potion from her waist and handed it to her, she shook her head in amazement.
“Po, it’s too much waste to drink potions on such a light wound! Isn’t that really expensive!?”
“It’s nothing. I’m more concerned about scarring your skin than that, so don’t talk nonsense and drink it.”
“Rom-sama…”
Her eyes twinkled as if she were moved, she nodded her head slightly, took her potion, and gulped it down.
Chi profit…
Wounds that regenerate rapidly within seconds.
I don’t even know if there were any injuries.
“Um. That’s good. As expected, advanced potions are effective.”
“Pu-huh!? Yes, advanced!? What I just drank was an advanced potion!?”
“Yep.”
“That, such a precious thing…!”
“Ahaha. Never mind. Now, then… Can you gather these guys in one place? Merina and you too.”
“Yes!”
“…Yes.”
Merina, her face a bit pouty, pounded her helm and approached her leader, whose right limb had been cut off.
“Hey. Boss. You’re the head of the ‘black dagger’, right? With a naming sense.”
“Keuugh…! What the hell, how…!”
“Actually, I just guessed it. Why did the shadows around this house bother me? So I went in first.”
“…Damn it. Even if you’re out of luck… Of course, for a bastard like you…”
“Don’t be so unfair. Seeing this, I’m a bit of a great person, so it’s okay to be honored instead?”
In the 1st playthrough, the demon king was also captured, so this is it. Albeit salty.
“Well, you’ll find out anyway, but shall we talk openly and honestly? Then I’ll help you die painlessly.”
“…Everyone! Let’s die a glorious death! Kkaduk!”
The guy who suddenly shouted loudly bit his molars tightly.
“Oh no, no.”
“Oops!? It’s so…!?”
When you insert your finger into the guy’s throat and stir up the blood, black poison floats in the air and comes out in a row.
“…!”
The guy who saw my control widened his eyes.
“Where!”
“No pigs!”
The quick-witted Merina and Verde also moved quickly to eliminate the Assassins’ arbitrariness, but were still more than half dead.
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
In fact, as long as there is the boss in front of you, the rest of them are probably fine.
“Now, tell me. Why did the assassins come all the way to the ecliptic and do shit? This must be a tough place for guys like you to make ends meet.”
If there was a request, a small number of people could come to the ecliptic, but there were very few cases where the entire assassination organization settled in the ecliptic. It is because the high-ranking people are extremely vigilant.
“Keuugh…! Damn it! It’s not like we want to do it either! If it wasn’t just the goddamn god of death…!”
“Reaper?”
“Kirsten Maeve! That bitch destroyed our organization! That bitch…!”
“…What?”
When the name of the one who was a colleague in the first round came up, I tilted my head without knowing.
“Kirstin Maeve destroyed your organization?”
“It’s not just us! All of Harkal’s assassination syndicates are being wiped out or absorbed by that one bitch! We’re running away from her!”
Hakal is the largest desert kingdom established in the west.
“Hmm…”
After thinking for a moment, I couldn’t help but tilt my head.
Because nothing could have been guessed at all. Why did she do that?
“…Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.”
We’ll find out later when we meet.
“Then, the next question. Who is the guy who looks after you guys? Where is the source of the money?”
“…”
At my question, he kept his mouth shut.
Looking at the strong determination in his eyes, it doesn’t seem like he will open his mouth easily.
“I see. Then prepare to be tortured. I don’t know, but the intelligence department’s torture will be very terrible…?”
All of a sudden, all the strength went out of my body.
After the effect of the ‘Berrosionist’s Blood Crystal’ had ended, the aftereffects had begun.
“Wow, this is really hard to lift…Merina, Verde. Please clean up.”
“Leave it to me, my lord.”
“I’ll finish it soon.”
They tore the curtain and perfectly captured the assassins, and immediately contacted the Imperial Knights to hand them over.
***
Elf footprints.
After taking a break until the aftereffects disappear, I visit the general store run by the eccentric elf again, and the owner, Maronet, looks at me with interest.
“To dispose of the black dagger so quickly… To be honest, I thought I would give up, but it’s quite good?”
“Don’t talk nonsense… I’ll get what I promised.”
“Okay. Follow me.”
I followed her and entered the back of her, and there came out a small room of hers.
“It’s okay.”
She lifted her carpet and opened the door to the basement, revealing her staircase.
Upon entering, three doors lined up side by side greet us.
“You must have been a legend, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Then here it is.”
She opened the door on the far right and gestured for us to enter as well.
“Choose one. If you have any questions, ask.”
“Hmm, let’s do this.”
“Huh?”
As soon as she enters, her eyes sparkle as she picks up a crudely-looking bracelet without paying attention to anything else.
“Did you know what it was?”
“Know.”
[Ideal bracelet]
It is an item that increases the ‘Charm’ stat by as much as 80 when worn.
Of course, it doesn’t overlap with other charm items, but honestly, you can chew on most charm items with just one.
“Oh…”
“Haaa…!”
When I wear the bracelet, the eyes of Merina and Verde looking at me are different.
Maronet had a nonchalant face, though.
“Good.”
I gave her a satisfied smile and handed her the heavy bag of her gold.
It was part of the gold stolen from the ‘Black Dagger’.
