With Death Size and Dusk Spears in his hand, Ray turns his gaze to the two men and women.
Originally, there was another force beyond, but one of them was trampled on the spine by Ray, not very much, but not in a state where he could fight Ray.
... No, I didn't even know if he was still alive.
Either way, the assassin who has been targeting himself in disguise as being in a fight... it's also dealing with quite a bit of hand-working, which distracts him from killing, so the option of being alert here was naturally not in the rays.
"I'm coming."
When the woman who poisoned the blade groans briefly, the man with the long needle nods silently.
Even for the assassins, it would have been best if they had decided to cheat.
But there are no more options to take than it has failed.
Run, fight or surrender.
Of these, the third option disappears without question.
When that happens, all that's left is to escape or fight.
But more than Ray has seen us in the face, even if we run poorly here, the guards and knights will just get their information out.
If so, it's a lot quicker to kill Ray, who was seen in the face.
... Also, I have known my fellow murderers for quite a while, and the thought of their hatred is slight.
If this was an unfavourable situation by the time it was decisive, the two assassins would have chosen to withdraw immediately too... in that sense, the assassins would have been unlucky.
... Yes, I was unlucky.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
Seto penetrates into the two assassins opposite Ray.
The person who attacked Ray also had a good understanding of Seto's existence.
But still, that's what we thought we could do.
But as a result, that didn't make sense.
Seto's speed was completely unexpected for the assassins.
If you live in the Guild... or if you're new to the Guild, if you're the kind of person who gathers proper information, you know Seto exists, and you're trying to gather information about how capable he is.
But that doesn't give us much information.
For the inhabitants of Gilm, Seto is a game animal.
It's actually strong if you fight, but it's not like Seto has fought all over the city... but very little.
That's why the assassins couldn't get that much more detailed information.
... some of the adventurers had seen Seto's prowess in person with their own eyes, but I guess they didn't want to come into contact with such people as much as they could just in case.
The lack of time was not one of the reasons.
Regardless, the assassins seemed to be able to guess their strength when it came to Ray, who often showed its strength throughout the city, but they were totally unexpected when it came to Seto...
"Chi!
The first person to react to such a ceto was a man with a long needle.
Though he has a poisoned dagger, a woman who has to do melee fights and a man who can attack away with a flying tool. I didn't even have to think about which would be easier to deal with Seto coming in.
The man's thrown long needle makes its way to Ceto at considerable speed.
But... in terms of purely long needle throwing, Seto knew his opponent, Beaune, who had more skill than a man.
Physically, Beaune is clearly inferior to a man.
Still, Beaune's throwing long needles are clearly faster than a man's throwing long needles.
Seto succumbs as he runs, dodging the long needle lightly.
But the man also didn't think he could do anything about Seto just because of his attack, and soon, as a second shot, he throws the next long needle with his left hand, not the first one he throws.
But Seto is not already on the ground then.
He took advantage of the movement when he first gave himself up and jumped straight ahead.
Seto, leaping over the sky, winged and forcefully redirected his progress… In the next moment, he opens a couch in the air towards a man…
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
With its ringing voice, a crystal brace is emitted.
The man was totally poked at the impression that he didn't think such an attack would come from Seto... bathe the crystal brace from the front.
The body of a man covered in crystals.
The man didn't know what the hell he was in, but he still couldn't move his body.
Crystal braces used by Seto have the ability, as its name suggests, to trap the target in a crystal.
... However, because the level is still low at the moment, you can't imitate using a crystal brace to trap it in a crystal, all you can do is coat the target's body with crystal.
Coating by thin crystals, so it's not a difficult story to deal with if those who use it are also interested in doing so.
But that's only if you know what the hell you've done.
The man was bewildered and frightened by an unknown attack.
I can't move my body...... no, it's hard to move, just move my body and I hear sounds like painkillers, paris, etc, so naturally.
Thus, the man, who stopped the movement for less than a few seconds, devours the blow of Seto's forefoot, which was landing on the ground the next moment, blowing away.
The crystals that were coating the man's body with that shock crumble, the sunlight falling from the sky brilliant, a flash but fantastic atmosphere drifting around him.
But such a fantastic sight will soon be over.
Beyond being a destination here, the blown opponent for Seto's blow naturally hit his body against a wall that was away, and that blow lightly blocked his consciousness.
And... while Seto is fighting like that, Ray also takes action, not just staring at it.
Seto defeated the man who was using the long needle, so as a matter of course Ray is after a woman with a dagger poisoned with a blade.
The woman who sensed Ray approaching toward herself, her loss thickened...... no, it almost became certain, but she still wouldn't give up.
That's what sets up a dagger and runs out toward Ray like that, as if you didn't know the option to give up from the start.
(Poisoned? That's a pain in the ass)
Ray doesn't know exactly what effect the poison painted on the dagger is.
If you have any knowledge as a pharmacist or alchemist, maybe you have figured out what kind of poison it has, but Ray doesn't have such knowledge.
However, given that it is the kind of poison the assassin will use, it will definitely not have a gentle effect, such as paralysing the target or...
Almost certainly, such poison, like it's not strange for a normal person to die instantly after just getting a little inside his body.
(Well, that poison doesn't make sense if you don't hit them either... I don't know if it works for me in the first place)
I don't know if the poison will work on my body made by Zeppyre and the others.
Still, I don't think I want to taste the poisonous blade in my body.
That's why Ray waves a death size at a woman.
A blow at a distance that obviously won't hit a woman.
The woman who sees it smiles at Ray's mistake... but at the next moment the spear of dusk that Ray holds in his left hand is waved by a sideburn and blown as-is wondering if it hit him on the flank.
Women were confident that their abilities were commensurate, and there was nothing they could not do if they were capable of carrying a single blow to the enemy's attack.
But such confidence completely dissolved the moment he was struck by a dusk spear pattern.
A vicious and unparalleled blow, impossible to withstand even.
... just because it looks, not very much but I don't think Ray has all this power.
But the intense blow a woman receives lightly overshadows such common sense and hits the wall just like a man who had a long needle.
Unlike the man who had the long needle, did you mean that he never stunned when he hit the wall?
"Gu... Ugh..."
She was a woman who groaned but managed to get up, but was totally on her feet with the shock of Ray's blow, shaking her legs as if she were a newborn deer.
Even in such a situation, he took the dagger in his hand...... accidentally, he pointed that blade towards himself and tried to pierce himself with momentum...... At the next moment, the dagger was blown away with a severe impact.
"Seal yourself in the mouth. You're very enthusiastic."
As for Ray, I want information about the person who attacked me.
Especially since I want to know about my employer, I couldn't have killed myself before they talked about it.
Beat the woman's dovetail with a twilight spear stone poke as it is and stun her.
"Now, considering this woman tried to kill herself without hesitation, that man over there could kill herself if she regained consciousness."
To keep them from doing so, both men and women are bound with rope, and apes are also bitten so that they do not bite off their tongues.
The other man confirms, but you were still dead.
"… so, what should we do"
Whimpering, I'll check my current situation.
One man dies when his spine is crushed at the end of the line, and the two men and women are fitted with apes and their hands and feet are tied so that they cannot move.
There's Ray and Seto.
... Normally if Ray is obviously suspicious and found by guards who know nothing, it's not strange that Ray is caught, such a sight.
Even with that in mind, Ray looks around.
If there is an assassin, someone is deployed who basically has a role to see it through.
Perhaps we can find such a person.
I thought so, but unfortunately Ray can't find me.
"Seto, is there anyone hiding or looking out for us?
"Grrrrrr?...... Grrrrrr"
To Ray's words, it was Ceto checking what was going on around him, but he immediately shook his neck to the side.
I wouldn't even say this is in the woods...... but if it were outside the guilds you would also be able to find someone like that.
But this is inside the guild.
There are many, and countless, of them.
From that, looking for one who doesn't even know if he's there is like that's what you look for sand gold in the desert.
I'm sorry and I'm going to bow my head to Seto, and Ray tells me not to worry, and I gently stroke him.
I'm not going to be mad at Seto just because I couldn't find him, because if I could find him, I would have felt lucky or something like that.
Seto felt Ray's thoughts like that, too, and he snarls his throat with joy.
With such a stroke of Ceto, Ray worries about what he's going to do now.
You've been attacking me since I played a play like that, so I'm pretty sure the assassin's aim is Ray.
And Ray remembers that that's just not enough fingers on both hands and feet for the reason that he's being targeted.
The most recent situation I can think of would still be Veen's relationship.
It's not strange to want to get Ray out of the way and get rid of him just because he's perceived by Dusker as a troublesome opponent.
Above all, he's the one who's been pointing nobility at the tower of his birth.
If you knew Ray was the one who got in the way of it, you'd naturally think it was the one who got in the way.
(No, isn't that a little too soon? I captured that nobleman... captured him? Well, I got him, okay? Either way, it hasn't been that long since we captured him. And yet you have all those skilled assassins ready?... it's more likely that another opponent is behind the scenes and the timing just coincides)
It's possible that I've hit a hand like this by reading everything, but I'd still rather consider it a coincidence than that.
"Anyway, what kind of guy is after me, if that's what you live normally like, you could attack me again... and most importantly, if you can get information out of these guys, you could tell it's easier. … then the question is, how do we get the information out?"
If they are like chimps or bandits, they throw up some information that only hurt them a little.
But the two of you who are currently ahead of Ray's gaze are trained... which is also a fairly highly trained assassin.
Such an assassin, Ray cannot honestly nod if he asks if he can prepare more than one of them as well.
"Well, suppose we ask the guards around?... the question is which one of us is keeping an eye on these guys here"
If Ray calls the guards, keep an eye on the assassins Seto is passing out, and if Seto goes to get them, Ray keeps an eye on them.
The question would be which is more appropriate.
Not sure what to do... and eventually Ray made up his mind.
