Chapter 166 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is the Hero, the Half Is XXX
The other person’s mood changed in an instant when Eugene spoke to them with a faint smile and raised a scream.
Even up until now, he was scattering his life around, but it was focused on his target, Nefty.
However, now, it is clear that Eugene is not defeated by the assassin’s momentum, which is spreading his deadly force towards Eugene rather than Nefty, and he also shows a bitter smile in response, showing that he will kill himself.
“Hey, hey. Are you so blatantly using Crescent’s school of assassination that you thought I wouldn’t know?”
“You…”
The assassin spewed out a murderous plan, indicating that he would prioritize killing Eugene from now on, rather than Nefty, who was clearly the target of Eugene’s remarks.
“… “I don’t know how you know, but with that comment you just made, the option for me to keep you alive has disappeared.”
“Ha, you’re talking as if you can kill me at any time, assassin.”
The assassin, who had originally intended to kill only Nefty as much as possible, with a voice that was nothing short of bloody, rushed towards Eugene again in earnest to kill him.
As if to counter Eugene, he lets out a scream in response to the assassin rushing towards him.
‘Crycent… ? A pseudo-fanatic group? Why me there… ?! And this kid… ?’
As Eugene and the assassin clashed again, Nefty, who had no choice but to be held in Eugene’s arms and protected, felt dizzy.
As I said, Nefty, who was very perceptive, realized through Eugene’s remarks that the assassin in front of her was an assassin sent by a group of pseudo-fanatics who were causing quite a stir in the world these days.
To be honest, the moment he understood that he was being targeted by an assassin, Nefty was the one behind it and had the writer in mind after clashing with him during the entrance exam.
However, contrary to what she thought, it appears that the assassin in front of her is an assassin dispatched from Crescent, a cult of fanatics with whom she has never been involved.
That fact alone is enough to make him dizzy. Who is this boy who is protecting him and how does he know this?
‘Aaaaah!! What on earth is this? Someone please explain… ! No, save me more than that!’
Nefty was screaming in confusion as he felt the blood drain from his face as a dagger surrounded by an Auror passed right before his eyes.
He couldn’t help but be scared, not realizing that if Eugene, who was protecting him, had not moved while holding him in her arms, he would not have been able to react and would have been pierced from the nose down by her dagger.
Pajik! Bang! Squeeze! Bang! Bang!
When Nefty, a top idol, was screaming as she felt as if her lifespan was shortening in real time, Eugene, who was protecting her, was not in a relaxed situation either.
‘It’s harder than I thought… !’
In just one moment, two daggers are stabbing indiscriminately, aiming at five vital points, and they are blocked by counter-attacking and moving quickly with the sword body raised.
Then, in an instant, Eugene correctly caught the scream again and at the same time covered the resulting delay with a roundhouse kick using her externalized foot, and Eugene, who kept the assassin in check, took a quick look at Nefty in her arms.
‘This is such a burden…’
Since she was a sub-heroine whose potential reached the sky, it was natural that she had to be protected. That’s why he was held in his arms like this, but it was a situation that interfered with the battle.
The target of the assassin in front of him right now was Nefty, so in the process of exchanging attack and defense with Eugene, he was forced to take a loss by targeting Nefty, not Eugene.
It was the same just before. Some of the attacks aimed at vital points could have been avoided through Eugene’s movements.
Since all attacks could be detected through Unirat radar, they would have been able to be avoided without much difficulty.
However, evasive maneuvers were limited due to Nefty being held in one’s arms.
Even if he dodged, the dagger’s trajectory was drawn so that Nefty, not Eugene, would be attacked.
Therefore, Eugene ultimately had to choose defense rather than evasion even though evasion could bring the best benefit, and as a result, he had no choice but to suffer a loss overall in the battle with the assassin.
‘Right now, I have the upper hand in martial arts itself…’
It is difficult to benefit from the martial arts that has the upper hand.
Therefore, Eugene continued to take losses in battles with the assassin, but soon had no choice but to allow the assassin’s dagger to pass by his cheek.
Whick! Awesome!
“Tsk… !”
He momentarily twisted his head to the side, but the dagger, which was surrounded by aurors and had a wider attack range, caused a shallow stream of blood to flow down Eugene’s cheek.
As a result, Eugene notices a slight pain in his cheek and stabs the assassin’s solar plexus with all his might.
Quang!
The assassin took a defensive stance by crossing his daggers behind his solar plexus to block the attack.
Accordingly, Eugene was the one who caused the tangible energy surrounding the assassin’s dagger and his own scream to explode in opposition, causing the assassin to retreat about a dozen meters.
“This is harder than I thought.”
After making the assassin retreat, he muttered while wiping the light blood flowing down his cheek with the sleeve of his clothes.
“Uh, over there… ? I feel like I’m in the way, but I’ll just leave it alone…”
Nefty, who was quick to notice Eugene’s appearance, realized that he was being pushed away because she was protected by him in his arms, and tried to talk to him, but Eugene flatly refused.
“No. If you get out of my arms, that guy will target you, not me. “Then it will be more difficult for me to protect you.”
“Ugh…”
It was not for nothing that Eugene, after saving her from the attack of her assassin, held Nefty in her arms and protected her, even though he was a burden to her.
Because it was luggage, protecting it like this was the safest and most reliable way.
Therefore, when Eugene calmly explained the fact to Nefty, Nefty looked quite proud.
Well, that’s because for Nefty, who comes from the Orbital World, a world where the genders are reversed, being embraced and protected by a boy would be a situation not much different from having her pride as a woman fall into the gutter.
However, no matter how much it hurt her pride, the assassin in front of her was not someone she could do anything about.
Therefore, realistically, she had no other choice than to be protected by Eugene, so in the end, she quietly surrendered herself to him while being held in Eugene’s arms.
“… “Aren’t the professors coming?”
“Well… , Because the academy grounds are so large and this place is so rare. Even if I can’t do it, it will take about 10 minutes.”
At the same time, in order to break up this situation where Eugene seemed to be being pushed out, Eugene gave a rough answer to Nefty who spoke to her and then focused on the condition of the assassin in front of her.
‘Hmm… , I think this is pretty dangerous?’
From the moment Eugene received a cut on his cheek and started bleeding, the previously quiet assassin began to breathe heavily.
And Eugene, who clearly knew the reason, sighed inwardly, feeling a slight deviation from the plan.
‘Write… , I can’t help it. ‘I have no choice but to advance my plan slightly.’
Originally, the way to get the assassin into that state would have been to divide the attack and defense a little more and tire the assassin out, but Nefty was more of a burden than expected.
As a result, Eugene unintentionally gets slightly injured and sees ‘blood’, so he decides to advance his plan a little.
‘Well, I guess there isn’t much of a difference.’
With that thought in mind, Eugene noticed the opponent starting to emit essence as if he was going to attack him at any moment, and pushed the magazine to the side.
“Huh… ?”
Then, he calmly transforms the Speed Rider, which was in a spiritualized state, into a mind object again, and then loads bullets into the magazine through the Speed Rider.
Nefty, who was watching the scene in her arms, let out a voice filled with doubts about the unusual form of the weapon she had never seen before.
“Let’s shift gears up a bit.”
Eugene, who did not pay attention to Nefty’s voice and lightly pushed the cylinder loaded with bullets with a snap of his wrist, showed a different behavior from before.
Taaat!
“To?!”
Until now, Eugene had been holding Nefty in his arms, so he showed his best defensive attitude.
At this moment, after finishing loading the bullets, he rushed towards the assassin first, even though Nefty was in his arms.
When Nefty, who was in Eugene’s arms, let out a panicked voice at that fact, Eugene, who had reached the assassin’s eyes even while carrying the burden of Nefty, let out a loud scream.
“Ugh?!”
Eugene’s sudden surprise attack. The moment he saw Eugene’s blood, the assassin, whose condition had deteriorated rapidly, panicked and blocked the attack by crossing his dagger over his head.
It’s so scary!!
As a result, the Auror surrounded by the two daggers and the external fire surrounded by Eugene’s screams collided again and began to rebel, and if the power struggle continues like this, it will break the limit and cause an explosion due to the resistance. But…
Slam! Kwaaaaa-!!!!!
As if waiting right after the dagger and the roaring sound collided, the moment Eugene pulled the trigger on the ringing sound’s handle, a bullet was fired, and before the backlash of the auror and the externalization could even surpass the critical point, the externalized Unirut exploded from the monster’s sword body.
“What?! Huh?!”
A sudden explosion, even that explosion, was not a simple explosion, but an explosion caused by an externalized unirut exploding.
Aurors are weapons in themselves, and externalized Unirats are also weapons in themselves, just like Aurors.
However, to put it another way, having such externalization explode in front of you is not much different from having a grenade explode in front of your eyes.
As a result, the assassin caught up in the unexpected explosion spontaneously swung the dagger surrounded by Aurors and retreated, minimizing damage from the explosion.
“Isn’t it true that Cheonmujiche’s ability to respond is no joke?”
“You… !”
Eugene pursues the assassin, cutting through the explosion he created, and screams again while holding Nefty in his arms.
He was an assassin who tried to block Eugene’s screams with one dagger, but…
Slam! Quaaaaang!
… The moment the dagger and the roar collide again, an explosion occurs along with the sound of the metal being pulled.
The assassin caught up in it suffered some injuries all over his body and had no choice but to take a further step back.
‘What is that… ?!’
As the assassin steps back, the sound of an explosion erupting every time Eugene swings causes the assassin to wonder.
‘Shouldn’t this have happened during the entrance exam?!’
Moon Ae-ri, an assassin dispatched from Crescent, had experience dealing with the boy in front of her during the entrance exam. Therefore, the boy has become somewhat accustomed to Eugene’s fighting style.
However, that’s why I couldn’t help but be even more embarrassed by the screaming explosion and bombardment function that wasn’t shown during the entrance exam.
