Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"First, go to King Melvin's room. Have you got any magic tricks?

"This one's fine. What about Mallane?

Mallane also nods with a serious face. Exit the hallway and head to King Melvin's room first.

When I knocked, there was an immediate reply from King Melvin.

"It's Matthius."

"Uhm."

The unlocking sounded. King Melvin himself welcomed us, as he said he was waiting for us when we entered the room.

"Something."

"It's an enemy. There's a group dressed as guards approaching from the woods outside."

Briefly and concisely report the situation to King Melvin.

"You've hit me with a big hand..."

King Melvin, naturally, immediately guessed what it meant.

"I'll strike out better than this. I'll make sure the killer doesn't understand the disturbances outside... but if they do, get out of here."

"Yeah, but I kept the rest of my fate."

Turn this one back and turn to King Melvin, who smiles at his mouth. Leave Albert in his room and leave Mallane all in the hallway.

I've been up all night. It's so quiet that I don't think there's going to be any disturbances.

Well, and.... how the killer moves from here.

If we get here, the rest is already a simple story. It would be like a thief stepping in and attacking from the inside where he's responding.

Multiply the confusion and know you may intend to assassinate your target yourself.

In other words, if the outside enemy is not distracted from arriving in the hall, the other side has a high official plan to keep waiting for certainty.

Leave surveillance by Cadkeus in the hallway and go outside through the main entrance to the mansion.

Mallane flies out of the junction with Levitation and Airblast demonic props. Withdrawal from the main battlefield and to use summoning magic outside the contiguity.

After I drop him off, I activate the Magic Circle. It is the sixth class of water magic Lainey Cloud that is used.

When the surgical ceremony is built, clouds gush, and pounding and rain begin to fall around the building.

It is a magic to build fields to enhance and aid water magic by causing widespread rain, or to counter flame-based magic and magic... If Battlemage exercises it in a circulating state, it will be localized heavy rain. Even if there is disturbance outside, the sound of rain will make it impossible to detect.

- Come on. We're ready. Shall we eliminate the enemy?

Continue walking straight from the front toward the enemy regiment as they line up to advance through the woods.

I put Uroboros in the shade of a tree and made contact with them.

"Mm."

I have eyes on one of the leading men. The men who looked like guards look at me and look at me with a strange look on their face.

"I'm Mattius, a servant. I saw you from the mansion, but what happened at this late hour?

"... I'm lost."

That's what I say. Keep the siege narrow. There will be nothing lost. But, well, just in case, that's possible. I'll go out with the farce.

"Was I? I'm not bright on the road, so I'm going to the mansion now, and I'm going to call people. Can you wait here?

"Oh, okay"

Turn your back. I heard a small metal noise - a rubbing sound of my body and sheath.

Because we kill them all, we should not commit foolishness to those who are in the mansion until the end of the day. You don't have to go back to the mansion.

If that's the case, it's like I've decided how to get out.

Let's take on a dirty job and raid a lot of people who can't use magic. I don't even feel like putting my hands on it. Some of them... it would be enough to beat them up with enough force to stay alive.

"Come, Uroboros"

Wind cutting noise. Kick the magic shield and fly diagonally upwards on the verge of a blade swinging down on your back. A moment late, the dragon wand fitted into my hand.

"Become!?

Stunning voice. Using the trunk of the tree as a scaffold, he draws a sharp, angular orbit, approaching the assassin, who is still pointing in a direction that does not remain in a sword-wielding position. Leaving it to the momentum of penetration to slap Uroboros, he heard the shaking feel of armor and the crushing sound of bones.

"All of you!"

Another assassin who was nearby jumps at me. I don't even need to look back. Sense movement with a thin shield deployed behind you. He bounced up the reverse end of Uroboros and jumped up his jaw, crushing his tibia as he turned around and stroked his feet.

"Gee!?

It collapses with a voiceless scream.

The others seem to have noticed something unusual. I'll pull out my sword and run over here.

Well, I guess he's trained just to be entrusted with assassinations. We are well lined up for the unforeseen. But - I don't take people for granted.

Fly from tree to tree. I lost sight of this one without being able to follow through, and I took the uppermost of the people trying to rearrange the line in a circular fashion.

"Play."

Class 4 water magic icicle spike. A small lump of magic with a blue and white brilliance landed at the center of the circle. As soon as they do, a radially icy spear pops up and puts their legs together to skewer them. By the time the distressed voice echoes into the dark woods, there will be no more of me there.

Fly with screams chasing from your back sewn between trees on your ass and zigzag, fleshy to your next prey. The assassin's body flies higher than a tree when he thinks up from the lower section. Fly the man who looks up at it in a glance. Fly straight to the side and hit the trunk of the tree decently.

Unstoppable. Randomly strikes the one who has caught his eye, no matter how close he is, and fortunately strikes him down. Leaps and disillusions the statue split into the trees by Mirage Body.

I was in a mayhem. Looks like we still have the headcount - but if this happens, they don't have any more hands to deal with.

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I have arms!

"Damn it! What the fuck!

"That way! I went that way. - Whoa!

The sound of destruction, echoing constantly into the darkness of the night. A distressed voice. Screaming yells of anger, growling. Everything is sucked into the sound of rain and the darkness of night, and it doesn't reach anyone's ears in the mansion.

The perimeter of the mansion is already closed in the dark. That's Mallane's bill. The service of Shade, the Spirit of Darkness, prevents not only the sound, but even the light of a few nights, from prying into this likeness.

"Shit! Shit! I didn't hear you hang out with such a monster! I'm not listening!

They are quite smelly, albeit at the extreme of confusion. Some of them are enough to take their first shot. But I don't do anything to screw the assassin over with skill.

If you can't get the light to the mansion, you don't have to pick a hand. The moment you slap Uroboros on the sword, you wrap a thunderbolt around it. He made his body jump and swing through where he was electrically shocked, trying to smash his face, swinging through his wand, and spinning through the hollow.

"Impossible! There's no way I can use magic!

The man who shouted so screamed in agony after being captured by Tramplesawn and trapped inside Tsukuba.

Already a total collapse. There are also those who try to escape. But that won't happen. First, where do we go from the isolated island to the outside world if we can escape this scene?

Ice bullets loom from the back and sew them into the trees. An assassin screaming and scratching an ice bullet gives a palliative look, but at the next moment it was distorted and frozen by fear.

A knight without a neck that echoes the sound of a hoof and emerges from the void blinking a green flame. If Durahan waves that sword, the assassin will shed blood and fall down.

The demon horse scratches the void with his forelegs and hisses, and the knight without his neck also laughs proudly and high with his own neck.

Because it was already after I scratched around, the impact of that appearance was tremendous.

"Hih, hih!

I'll make sure Durahan kicks me out and smashes me where I've been running away to this one.

I'm gonna smash one or two of the men who ran away, and I'm about to hit the third one.

"No, you can't! Captain!

That's how I made the noise. One man turned around in response to that.

He realizes he's reacted, and he looks at me with a flashy face.

"You."

I narrow my eyes and laugh, windmagically winding up the assassin in front of me and dancing high and high into the sky.

Then we walk toward the man who has led the assassin.

Let them hit me - with a wand, with magic. It literally twists and crushes.

I can't hear anger or screaming already if I'm aware of it. The distressed voice just leaked from here and there.

Several have just skipped consciousness so that they cannot harm themselves. Evidence would be enough here.

"How many people - I think there were. We... in this, this little time...?

A man, called captain, checked the situation around him and raised his voice in dismay.

"Come on? I don't know because I didn't count it."

I'll check with the life detail, but other than the captain and I are getting a fine reaction. I could see the reaction I had seen in the distance being truncated by Durahan.... now I think I crushed it coarsely.

"Duh, to the Duobelis congregation, glory!

I accidentally laughed because the captain lays down his sword as he says that.

"Hey, what's wrong!

"Hey...... I know the M.O. The Duobelis' assassin was assaulted, so he stigmatized the Order and defended the honour of the assassin mastermind?

When I say it, the captain opens his eyes in amazement. Apparently, it's a drawing star.

Indeed. Information has also been passed on to Termwilds that the Duobelis are hostile to demon killings. I guess it's a measure that uses that information and the environment.

If only we had succeeded in the assassination, we would have been able to push through the impossible with power, even if there were those who suspected it - but it's a bad idea to get a name out of yourself in a phase where you're about to lose.

You think I'm gonna have a body with a denominational tattoo? Leaving stamped spots and halpers on the scene to be used by the denominational people... There seems to be that degree of preparation, but I can assure you that these guys are still different.

"But too bad. Your swordsmanship - the technical system belongs to the Knights of the Kingdom of Verdogal with no one left. It's not the technique used by the Order's assassins. You've brought in a man with a lot of arms."

"... what, what! You! What the hell!?

He jumps in furiousness. If you lack calm, that's it. A laughing uroboros was swung through, crushing the captain's sword and blowing his body together.

"Done"

Take him with Mallane and return to King Melvin's place for a report. Same as when I left. It's raining outside, but the situation is quiet.

It was an earlier captain man who brought him in restraint with a light bind. He's fractured and passed out... well, there's nothing else in his life.

"... this person"

"Is it something like a commander? These are the people with the technical system that will bring them to the Knights of the Kingdom of Verdogal. They cut from behind, so I twisted them all apart. It must still be rolling in the woods outside."

"... you pushed for a troublesome role, Theodore"

"No."

I don't think it's a hassle. Something about Mallane.

Even this kind of plot is harmless to my life in the first place. These are my enemies.

"Someone! Get Josiah and the others!

Come on, let's pack it. If you don't crush the mastermind, it won't be over.
