To Be a Power in the Shadows!

I was taken straight to an underground warehouse.

Sit in a chair with your shoulders locked. A Doemist prisoner surrounded him, and Maximilian stood before me.

"Well..."

He looks down at me with a cold gaze.

"Five bodies with holes in their chests were found here this morning. You know anything about that?

There is still blood stain on the floor.

"I don't know anything... it's true!

"So what were you doing last night? Weren't you supposed to put pills on the princess?

Oh, you know the story around there, too.

"I was indeed ordered to grab it. But... I can't do that..."

"I mean, you ran off scared."

Maximilian's gaze sharpened.

"Such a human being could have walked through the camp with dignity. Normally he should run away and hide...?

"Hmm...?

Yes, indeed!

It's weird that Mob, who couldn't grab Clara because he was threatened, is walking in the courtyard with dignity.

Maximilian, you're smart.

"Oh, no, no! I'm scared..."

"I didn't look scared. At least until we show up. Tell me everything you know."

Maximilian pulled out the knife. The light of the lamp reflects and shines on the sharp blade.

Well, apparently I'm broke.

Good, then I'll have you dead.

At that moment when I tried to get the slime ready and into shadow mode - I felt signs of her coming into the warehouse.

Immediately after that, the lamp's fire goes out.

"Who is it?

And she came down.

Dressed in a pitch-black bodysuit, she assaults Maximilian with that slimesword.

"Ku......!

Maximilian's reaction was also fast.

When he looks back quickly, he dodges slaughter and takes distance.

But I couldn't seem to avoid it altogether. Blood was seeping out of his shoulder.

"Are you... an owl? I didn't know she was a woman."

To Maximilian's question, she did not answer.

At her feet, a Doemist prisoner has already fallen. Looks like you've lifted your arms a lot.

"Hmm, you saved me a lot of trouble..."

Maximilian took the sword out of the crate.

And he looks at her lightly. Yeah, it feels like he can be there, too, after all.

"... enclosure"

Continuously the prisoners who pulled out their swords surround her.

If this were a gun, it would be like a scene in a spy movie.

Come on, what happens.

I spit and watch. [M]

And Maximilian moved.

When he quickly packs his time, he sharply swords away.

But the sword did not reach her body. She retreated half a step and avoided the sword, mutilating another prisoner who had been attacked from the side.

Maximilian attacks the gap.

His sword was sharp and accurate.

Avoid the risks, do nothing extra, the sword of packing. I wasn't expecting to see a sword like this in the Kingdom of Oriana. I was surprised.

In the Kingdom of Oriana, demon swordsmen are scorned. Domestic demon swordsmen are mostly low-status or outsider mercenaries.

So, the highly stately do what they do, they do the swordsman.

I don't know who a swordsman is.

Read it and wave your sword as you write.

It would be easy to understand if you could imagine figure skating with a sword. In the kingdom of Oriana, the dancers dance and dance, and their beauty determines victory and defeat.

Of course, it's weak in action.

But in their philosophy, beauty and strength seem to go hand in hand.

I know, but I also feel the beauty direction is different.

I don't mind.

So I was a little surprised by Maximilian's sword. Very sensible, at least not the sword of the Kingdom of Oriana. Rather, I might say the cutting edge of this era.

He attacks her with that sword.

The sword glows in the dim darkness, plundering her bodysuit.

Maximilian used the prisoners around him to thoroughly stand in his favor.

"Give it up, you don't have a winning hand."

Hmm, a little bad for you? He's handsome.

The next moment I thought so, her sword poked.

But Maximilian stands where he can afford to avoid it. I also think about standing up.

It was an unreachable slaughter.

But suddenly - her sword stretched.

"- Huh!?

If Maximilian hadn't tilted his neck toward him, his face would have been skewered.

A slimesword plunders his cheeks and red blood dances.

He was a hard dodged Maximilian, but he lost his balance and backed off dramatically because he avoided it in an impossible position.

In that gap, she swept away the surrounding prisoners and ran straight through the door of the underground warehouse.

"Don't let them get away with it! Follow him!!"

Maximilian growls, and the surviving prisoners follow her.

"Boss, what about this guy?

One of the prisoners looked at me and said:

"Owls first. I don't care about this guy or anything if I catch the owl. Never let them get away with it."

And Maximilian followed her out, too.

I was left alone in an underground warehouse that suddenly became quiet.

"Well... what shall I do"

Upstairs, there was some rush.
