45 45. Stupid Assassin




Bonito's down?

 Across the street from the inn where Kurt and his friends were parked.
 The man on the roof, who had been watching the whole thing, ...... Camilo, could not hide his surprise.

(Didn't they really say that they defeated Arnolt of the ...... "Four Wise Men"?

 Camilo was still skeptical when he heard the story.

 And he was dealing with a child.
 Arnauld was called the inferior of the Four Sages, but no matter how many of them Camilo gathered together, they would not be able to defeat him.

 And yet, I thought it was ...... an impossible fiction to defeat that Arnolt.
 But now that I've seen the scene, I'm beginning to think it's not so far-fetched.

(Kukuku ...... interesting. But the opponent must be on his guard, thinking that there is only one dark(er) killer. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to take the credit for this one.

 Camilo raised himself up and tried to cast a long-range spell on Kurt.


"Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing there?


 Suddenly a voice behind him.
 Camilo turns around quickly.

 And there, standing there with his hands on his hips, was Kurt, who should have been in the room a moment ago.

 Hey...

"Hey, hey. What are you doing there?

 I stupidly walked up to the man who was staring at the room I had just been in.
 I called out to him as a greeting.

"......!

 The man immediately stood up and took up a fighting stance.

 .......
 It's an unexpected situation for them, but they're still deploying their magic formula.
 It's not easy to find someone in this world who can handle this kind of situation without resorting to chanting.
 They are, after all, .......

"Empire, huh?

 I asked.
 The man didn't answer, his face contorted.

But why are you there? You were in that room a moment ago!

 He pointed towards the room where the principal and I were sleeping.

"If I'm here, it means I've just been moved.
Impossible! There is no way to travel this distance in an instant. ......
You're a ...... big shot, but you don't know transfer magic?

 Sigh.

 If you believe what Arnolt is saying, the empire has restored the magic that I created a thousand years ago.
 If that's the case, I would have thought he would know about transference magic, but ...... he's a low-level guy, so he doesn't know that much about it, right?

 When I came back to my room at the inn, I detected six reactions around me.
 And all of them were intent on killing me.
 From that moment on, I knew that they were going to attack me.

 First, one of them attacked me in my sleep.
 I also knew that there was one lurking on the roof of the building across the street, so I just used transfer magic to fly here.

 The range of the transfer spell is up to the point where you go ...... into your field of vision.
 I didn't want to use it too much because it would take up a lot of my magic, but it's such a short distance. It also minimizes the consumption of magic.
 I had no choice but to use it because there was a possibility that the opponent would run away.

"......, you're talking nonsense. It's true what they say about defeating the Four Great Sages,......!
"Was it that guy Arnolt? He was a bit(s) tough.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
 If Arnold had trained for another 200 years or so, he might have been a bit of a fun opponent.

"So answer my question. Are you from the Empire?
"Of course not!

 It was the answer I had been expecting, but once again, the clichéd line gave me a headache.

 That's fine.
 I'll give you a little exercise.

"No, it's too late to beg for your life now!
Huh. Can you use no-chant magic?

 He's working on a Lightning Arrow spell now.

 These are the assassins you sent for me.
 While we've been talking, I can at least do no chanting.

 But ...... is too slow.

"Come on! Lightning Arrow ......, hmm?

 The guy points his palm at me, but there's no sign of the magic working.

"What's wrong? A dud?

 He throws his voice at the man in a provocative tone.
 He used a backfire spell to remove his opponent's magic before it could be activated.

"I'll give you credit for being able to use no-chant magic. But why do you have to say the name of the spell as you cast it? Do you think this is a show or something and you're drunk on yourself?


Don't lick me!
"......

 The opponent tried to unleash a series of Lightning Arrows.
 But while this guy was firing one, I could probably fire a hundred.
 I completed the magic formula for the Lightning Arrow faster than the man and fired it straight at him.

"Aah!

 The man was hit by the Lightning Arrow and was blown backwards by the impact.
 He slipped off the roof and fell to the ground.

I'm not sure if this is the end. It's not like he's using body-enhancement magic to take the fall .......

 From the roof, I look at the man on the ground.

 He doesn't seem to be moving.
 It looks like we got rid of this guy without letting him use a single spell.

He didn't say anything until the end, but it seems he knew that ...... the Four Sages were defeated by me. It's most likely the work of the Empire.

 He muttered.

 I'm sure the Empire has heard that I defeated Arnolt, the "Four Great Sages".
 Then they must have known that I would use magic that is out of this world's level.

 And I'm one of the parties.
 I'm guessing that ...... thought that my presence would be detrimental to the discussion and came to assassinate me before the discussion.

"...... Well...

 I slowly turn around.
 I see three shadows approaching me.

"So there are four of us left. I'm going to take care of these guys quickly and pull out the one remaining real player.

 I put my hand over my mouth, and the corners of my mouth unconsciously rose.

 It seems that my love of fighting is quite good.
 As soon as I tried to move, the three assassins attacked me at once.
