2166 Episode 2166



With death-size and twilight spears in his hand, Ray looks at two men and women.
 Originally, there was one more soldier over there, but one of them was crushed by Ray's spine and, if not quite ready to fight him.
 ...no, I didn't know if he was still alive.
 Anyway, the assassin, who had been aiming at him pretending to be fighting... was dealing with a certain kind of lethal trick, so Ray didn't have the option of being off guard here.

"Here we go,"

 A woman with a poisoned blade mutters short, and a man with a long hand nods silently.
 Even for the assassins, it would have been best if they could have been deceived.
 But now that it has failed, there are not many options available.
 Run away, fight, surrender.
 The third option disappears without any questions or answers.
 Then what remains is to run away or fight.
 But as long as Ray is looking at us, even if we run away badly, our information will only be passed on to the guards and knights.
 If that's the case, it's easier to kill Ray in the face.
 ...and I have known my comrades for a long time, and I have a slight feeling that they are avengeance.
 If this had been a decisive disadvantage, the two assassins would have chosen to withdraw immediately... in that sense, the assassins would have been unlucky.
 ...yes, I was unlucky.

"Gul-l-r-r-r-r-r-r!"

 Seto runs into two assassins facing Ray.
 The other party who attacked Ray knew very well about Seto's existence.
 But they still thought that they could handle it.
 But it turned out to be meaningless.
 Seto's speed was completely unexpected to the assassins.
 If you live in Guilm...or if you're a newcomer to Guilm, you'll know about the existence of Seto and try to gather information about his ability.
 However, there is little information available from it.
 For the inhabitants of Gilm, a set is a pet.
 It's strong when you actually fight, but Seto has never fought in the city... but very few.
 That's why the assassins couldn't get that detailed information.
 ...some adventurers had seen firsthand the power of Seto, but they probably didn't want to have as much contact as they could, just in case.
 The lack of time was one of the reasons.
 Anyway, as for Ray, who often showed his strength in the streets, the assassins seemed to be able to sense his ability, but as for Seto, it seems that he was completely unexpected...

"Phew!"

 The first man to react to such a set was a man with a long hand.
 A woman who has a poisoned dagger but has to fight close to her, or a man who can attack from a distance with flying gear. It was needless to think which was better to deal with the thrusting set.
 The man's thrown long hand makes for Seto at a great rate.
 But... when it came to throwing a long hand, Sett knew Bune, who was more skilled than a man.
 In terms of physical ability, Bune is clearly inferior to men.
 Still, Bune's long hand is clearly faster than the man's.
 Seto crouches as he runs and dodges the long hand easily.
 However, it seems that the man did not think that he could do anything about Seto with his own attack alone, and immediately, as a second shot, he throws the next long hand with his left hand instead of the first one.
 However, Seto is no longer on the ground at that time.
 He took advantage of the movement he made when he first crouched down and leaped.
 Leaping up into the sky, Seto flapped his wings and forced him to turn his course... and the next moment he opened his fist in the air at the man...

"Slurrurling.

 Crystal bracelets are released with the cry.
 The man was completely taken aback by the fact that he didn't expect such an attack to come from Seto... with a crystal brace on his face.
 a man's body covered with crystals
 The man didn't know what was going on, but he understood that he was still unable to move.  
 The crystal brace used by Seto is, as the name suggests, the ability to lock the other person into the crystal.
 ...however, because the level is still a little low, you can't use a crystal brace against the other person, and all you can do is coat the other person's body with crystal.
 It's a thin crystal coating, so it's not difficult for those who use it to deal with it if they feel like it.
 But that's only if you know what you've done.
 The man was bewildered and terrified by the unknown attack.
 My body doesn't move... No, it's hard to move, and I can hear crisp, crisp sounds just by moving my body, so it's only natural.
 And the man, who paused for less than a few seconds, was struck and blown away by Sett's forefoot, which had landed on the ground the next moment.
 The impact shattered the crystal that had coated the man's body, sparkling the sun's rays from the sky, creating a momentary but fantastic atmosphere around him.
 But such a fantastic sight will soon end.
 Since this was a dead end, the man blown away by Seto's blow naturally hit a wall far away, and was easily knocked out of consciousness by the blow.
 And... while Sett is fighting such a battle, Ray not only watches it, but takes action.
 Now that Seto has overthrown the man who was using the long hand, Ray naturally targets the woman with a poisoned dagger in her hand.
 The woman who sensed Ray approaching her, had a strong defeat... no, almost certain, but she never gave up.
 It's as if he didn't know the option to give up from the start, and he starts running toward Ray with a dagger in his hand.

(Poison? That's a nuisance.)

 Ray doesn't know exactly what effect the poison on the dagger has.
 If you had knowledge as a pharmacist or alchemist, you might have figured out what kind of effect it was, but Ray didn't have that knowledge.
 However, given that it is the kind of poison used by assassins, there is no doubt that it is not a gentle effect, such as paralyzing the other person...
 It's almost certain that a normal person could die instantly with just a little bit of it.

(Well, that poison doesn't make sense unless it hits the other person... I don't know if it works for me in the first place.)

 I don't know if the poison works on my body, made by the zepiles.
 Nevertheless, I can never imagine wanting to taste the poison blade with my own body.
 That's why Ray wields death-size toward women.
 a clear blow to a woman
 Seeing it, the woman smiles at Ray's mistake... but the next moment Ray's twilight spear in his left hand swings sideways and blows it off as it hits his side.
 The woman had reasonable confidence in her ability, and there was nothing she could do but to withstand the enemy's attack.
 But that confidence completely collapsed the moment he was struck by the spear of twilight.
 an unparalleled blow that cannot even be tolerated
 ...just by the looks of it, I don't think Ray has this much power.
 But the woman's powerful blow easily reverses such common sense and hits the wall just like a man with a long hand.
 Unlike the man with the long hand, he never fainted when he bumped into a wall.

"Uh... Uh... Uh...

 She moaned and tried to get up, but the shock of Ray's blow completely touched her feet, shaking her feet like a newborn fawn.
 Even under such circumstances, he picked up the dagger... and suddenly turned the blade towards him, and tried to pierce himself... and the next moment, with a violent shock, the dagger was blown away.

"Do you keep your mouth shut? You're very enthusiastic about your work."

 Ray wants information about who attacked him.
 I couldn't have killed myself before I could talk about it, especially because I wanted to know about my employer.
 He hit a woman in the dove with a stone butt of a twilight spear and knocked her unconscious.

"Well, considering that this woman tried to kill herself without hesitation, that man could kill himself if he came to consciousness."

 To prevent this from happening, both men and women are tied up with ropes, and the monkeys are also made to bite their tongues.
 The other man confirmed that he had already died.

"... and what should I do?"

 I'll check my current situation while muttering.
 At the dead end of the road, a man was crushed to death, and two men and women were bound hand and foot together with monkey fetters.
 There are Ray and Sett.
 ...when you look at it, Ray is obviously suspicious, and if he is caught by a guard who knows nothing about it, it's no surprise that he'll be caught.
 Ray looks around, thinking about it.
 If there is an assassin, someone who basically has a role to watch it is deployed.
 I wonder if we can find such a person.
 I thought so, but unfortunately Ray can't find it.

"Set, is there anyone hiding or watching over here?""Glu-lu? ...Glu-lu-lu-lu?"

 Ray's words confirm the situation, but he immediately shook his head.
 I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is in the woods... but outside the guillem, you could find someone like that.
 But this is inside the guillem.
 There are a lot of people, and that's a lot of them.
 It's like looking for gold dust in the desert to find one of those people who doesn't even know if they are there or not.
 Ray gently caresses Seto, who bows his head apologizing for it doesn't bother him.
 I just felt lucky if I could find it, so I'm not going to get angry at Seto for not finding it.
 Seto is happy to hear Ray's feelings.
 As he caresses such a set, Ray wonders what to do now.
 Having attacked him in such a play, there is no doubt that the assassin's aim is Ray.
 And Ray remembers that the only reason he's being targeted is that he's not even getting enough fingers on both hands and feet.
 The best thing I can think of in recent circumstances is, after all, the relationship between Vienna.
 It's not strange to think of Ray as a nuisance to Dusker.
 Above all, he has sent nobles to the tower of birth.
 If Ray knew it was in the way, he would take it for granted.

(Well, isn't that a little too early? I caught the nobleman...? Well, it hasn't been long since I caught him. But do you have an assassin of that skill? ... It's more likely just because he was the mastermind behind the scenes, and the timing coincided with it.)

 It's possible that you've read everything and done something like this, but it's still better to think of it as a coincidence.

"Anyway, what kind of people are aiming at me is, if I live my normal life, I might attack them again... and above all, if I could get the information out of them, I might find it easier. ... Then the question is how do I get the information out?"

 If you're a gangster or bandit, they'll give you some information with just a little bitterness.
 But the two men who are now at Ray's doorstep are trained... well-trained assassins, too.
 When asked if he could prepare more than one such assassin, Ray is unable to nod honestly.

"Well, let's say we're going to ask the guards for that? ... The question is, who's watching these guys here, me or Seto?"

 When Ray calls in the guards, Seto watches out for the fainting assassins, and when Seto goes out, Ray watches.
 The question would be which is more appropriate.
 I didn't know what to do... and then Ray made a decision.
