100-Twenty-fourth episode: assassin reunites with friend




 The demon race Riogel is even worse than I had imagined.
 Tart and I nodded to each other and we simultaneously injected the drug with a specially made syringe into his neck.

It's only for a short time, but it activates the brain and releases the limiter at the same time.
 The world slowly flows, and my physical abilities and instantaneous magic power release increase.
 It's an overwhelming force, but it's a double-edged sword.

The brain's limiter is not just a decoration; if you ignore it, it will recoil violently.
 Moreover, the effect time of the drug is short, and if you continue to use it, you'll soon develop a tolerance to it.

It's classified as a trump card, and we don't use it unless it's a rare occurrence.

And now, that rarity is happening.
 The demon tribe Riogel flutters its mane and aims at the tart, not me.
 Both fox ears and a fluffy fox tail grow out of the tart. This is another trump card that can only be used for a short period of time.
 The tart knows that this is a trump card that can only be used for a short time. He knows that stinginess = death.
 Tart doesn't choose to evade, he rushes forward with his spear in front of him.
 Behind Tart, the wind explodes. It was a rocket of the ultra-short chanting wind magic that Dia had developed.

'Cats are fox food!

A side effect of the [Beastification] has made him belligerent.
 Its eyes are those of a predator.
The [Beastification] tart becomes ferocious, not matching its extremely lovable appearance.

The spear was different from the usual one.
 The usual spear was in the form of a split handle and a knife connected to the tip attachment in order to hide it in the servant's uniform.
 Strength and performance are sacrificed in order to have it hidden.

However, he was reminded of the lack of firepower during the recent battle against the Kabushi Demon Race.
 That's why he's new to weapons that focus on destructive power rather than portability.
 The tip of the spear spins at super speed.
 It is powered by embedded foul stones, and the tip of the spear rotates at super speed like a drill.
 In addition, the tip of the spear is made of the hardest alloy imaginable.

It's a magic spear that can pierce even diamonds.
 Such a demonic spear removes the brain limiter and launches itself with a rocket of wind, and even uses 【Beastification】 to release it with enhanced physical abilities.
 It's not just the momentum of the rush, at the moment of impact, it's a full-bodied strike that also carries the power of his waist and arms.

Because the spear is longer than Riogel's claws, it lands first.
 If Riogel wanted to avoid it, she could have avoided it, but her steel body was a treat that she couldn't pierce the woman's spear, so she just collided with it.

But it's a bad idea. Tart spears are specially made.
 It gouges and pierces the body of the steel that even played my gun.
 But.....

"Oh, no, Master Rogues' spear.
'Quite a strong female to wound my flesh. Looks good.

The spear that pierced Riogel's chest stopped spinning before his heart.
 He held it back with his muscles.
 As it was, Riogel, with his arms outstretched, embraced it and aimed at the tart from both sides with his claws.

''Please don't lick it!

Tart twisted the hilt to use the mechanism hidden in the spear.
 Then with a roar, the tip of the spear was shot out.

The recoil was so great that the person who shot it was blown about five meters away, and Riogel was blown away while being pierced in the chest.

The tart attached a spare spearhead as soon as it landed, and Riogel was nailed to a rock a few meters away.
 The tip of the spear has a bouncer, which is sewn into the flesh to hold it in place, which is why the bullet was left inside his body and he was crucified.

''The new spear is very useful!

The new model is a spear, and also a super large caliber gun.
 It has a rotating mechanism and a foul stone embedded in the tip of the spear itself, and it is usually used as a rotating spear, and when the time comes, it activates the embedded foul stone to perform [bombardment].

I did this after considering Tart's fighting style.
 Tart isn't very good at shooting, that's why I assumed that he would use it at super close range.
 Originally, the advantage of [artillery] is the range, but this guy's recoil is too ghastly, so there's no way he can aim at it.
 It is based on the operation of stabbing and blasting, an operation that roughly blasphemes the idea of a gun.

Don't do it.

Inwardly, I run, admiring the tart for his mastery of such a colorful weapon.
 I'm not a spectator.
 My role is to create enough of an opening for Dia to reliably apply the [Demon Race Killer].

I complete the chanting while sprinting towards the one who is being crucified.
【High speed chanting】, and then stepped further into the [Multiple chanting] to use two magic at the same time.

Riogel grasps the tip of the spear, which has a rebound, while looking like a bother, and pulls it out while tearing off his own flesh and glaring at me.

''GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

A roar.
 It's not just an intimidation, it's a shockwave filled with magical power.

My body floats up and I feel like I'm about to be blown away.
 However, the chanting was just in time, and I was in range.

【Wind Cage】, 【Ice Prison】

He unleashes two types of magic.
 First, wind magic that covers the enemy with carbon dioxide and instantly drains oxygen from the enemy's body.
 The second is water magic that fills the enemy's surroundings with thick ice and binds them.

The main goal is the second one, but there's no way he's going to stay quiet while the surroundings are filled with ice.
 That's why I'm going to stop his movements with 【wind cage】 and freeze him in the meantime with 【Ice Prison】.
 As planned, in an instant, he is deprived of oxygen and faints, and the ice fills the surrounding area.

The thickness of the ice is five meters.
 If this is the case, I won't be able to move.
 First of all, this isn't just ice. It's ice at absolute zero, and its ultra-low temperature alone stops it from moving.
 Secondly, even if I wanted to smash through it from the inside, my entire body was tightly held down by the ice. No matter how much foolishness you have, if the starting point of your movement is completely held down, there's nothing you can do.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I'm sure you'll be able to take care of the rest.

While Dia passes me and heads towards Riogel, she communicates her intentions with her eyes.
The chanting of 【Made-Killer】 has entered the final stage.
【Made-Killer】 penetrates the ice. I can guess now.
 I also chant a compound magic through multiple chanting.

The magic that is released is 【Rail Gun】.
 The sniper this time is Nevan, and although he's still aiming at it, insurance is probably necessary.
 Along with the landing of the flying 【Monkiller】, Nevan's sniper and 【Rail Gun】 attack his 【Red Heart】.

Dia's chanting was completed and he was sure of his victory.
 It was then, a shiver runs down my spine.

A sixth sense sounds an alarm bell, cancels the 【Rail Gun】 chanting, grabs Dia's neck, and while shielding her back, throws a foul stone forward and orders a directional explosion.

''Kya, what's going on!

Because I pulled him from behind, Deer hit him in the ass and missed the flying [Demon Killer].
 Furthermore, if I hit a foul stone explosion, it would have ruined my efforts to restrain her with ice.

He did this knowingly. It's just that I had a bad feeling about this.
 An assassin's intuition is nothing compared to the occult.
 An assassin uses all of his five senses to constantly probe his surroundings, and that's why he picks up even the slightest of omens.
 Normally, he would examine the signs, consider whether or not there is a danger, plan a countermeasure, decide whether or not to implement it, and then take action, but that is often not enough time.

From the vast amount of empirical evidence, he skips the time to think about it, comes to a conclusion, and acts reflexively.
 That is the sixth sense of an assassin.

'It's a hit.

The foul stone cracked and a directional explosion scattered smoke and metal fragments, while the ice exploded from within, sending its fragments flying like scattered bullets.
 The two mighty forces collided, carving a trail of destruction into the surrounding area.
 If my judgment had been delayed, Dia and I would have received a fatal wound from the ice scatterers.
 And then.........

''Tch.''

Just below me was Riogel, who had lowered his posture to the limit and rammed into me.
 He's swinging his claws up at me. His body is covered in wounds and burns, with metal fragments pierced and flesh gouged out.
 The fact that he was able to close the distance so far at this point in time wasn't an easy thing to rush at the moment the ice scatter and the foul stone explosion ended.
 The only thing I can think of is that they've been able to rush through that super-powered collision.

It was beyond reckless and suicidal, but that's why I was caught off guard.
 The roar, the light, the dust and smoke, most of my senses were crushed, and the timing was such that I couldn't even use my assassin's intuition.
 No good.
 This speed, this timing, I can't let him get away with it.
 At the very least, we should avoid a fatal wound.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the market.

The foul stone explodes in his mouth and blows up to his chest.
 I watch it happen, keep my distance, and form a formation with Tart and Dia.

'NEVAN saved you,'

It was Nevan who blew the tip off of his right elbow.
He must have used the blow that was supposed to pierce his heart after the [Demon Race Killer].
 If it wasn't for that, he would have been badly injured.

''It's amazing that you could hit it from that distance. ........I'm glad that everyone is safe. But it's not good. It's almost time for the medicine and [Beastification] to wear off. That thing is too strong.
Yeah, it's strong. That.

It's simple.
 I didn't expect him to break through that icy prison by exploding his magic and miasma.
 And the inexcusable and overwhelming physical ability and defense.

It's back on his head.
 We have a new plan in mind at this hour, and if this plan doesn't work, we're done.
 I keep an eye on Riogel, looking for the right moment to make my move.

But he does something he never expected.
 He's going full speed ahead, and he's not even paying attention to us.
 It's not safe to go in that direction.

"[Bombardment]

From the bag of crane leather, he fired [artillery fire] loaded with bullets and foul stones, but he avoided it.
 There's no arrogance to dare to receive it until just now.
 He can get out from behind, and moreover, this distance.
 It's tough to catch up with them and hit them with an attack.
 And his goal is to crush the sniper.

With the earlier blow, he must have noticed Nevan's presence and decided to crush him first from the depressing sniper.

You're going to be able to find out what you're looking for, and you're going to be able to find out what you're looking for, and you're going to be able to find out what you're looking for, and you're going to be able to find out what you're looking for.
 But the light is too thin, the wound is small, and the guy goes forward while regenerating.
 Nevan is unusually impatient and his face is twisted.
 There's no way for her to take that thing down or buy time for me to arrive.
 If I don't, it will bite me off.

''d*mn.''

He clicks his tongue and runs.

No, it's impossible to save Nevan now....
 No, think about it. There's no way I'm going to let him die.
 That's when it happened.
 A great black sword pours down from far above and pierces in front of Riogel's eyes.
 Considering Riogel's stubbornness, he could have ignored it and rammed it in, but he stopped in his tracks.
 And then the man in all black landed on the hilt of the sword that was stuck in the earth.
 Crossing his arms and flapping his cloak.
 Riogel should stop in his tracks, too. What an evil and tremendous sword with tremendous power. What on earth is that sword........it surpasses even the [divine weapon] Gunnir I once encountered.
 There was no one to answer my questions, and the owner of the sword and Riogel were facing each other.

''Who are you. Are you one of the same kind? It smells like us.
"My kind, phew, you see. I'm a corrupt person.

I wasn't sure, thanks to the costume that covered my face, but I was sure when I heard his voice.
 He was the owner of this overwhelmingly powerful sword.
 ........I knew he would come, but the timing was right.

"Do not interrupt me. I must tear that man limb from limb and eat him in front of him while I rape his women.
I won't let you. They're my friends. And she's special.
Then you're going to fall prey to my claws.
'You bark a lot for a puller. You're just the right bite. I'm here to prove to you that I'm not just chasing after her anymore.

A swordsman in all black leaps down from the hilt and draws his sword.

"Now, scrape off. I have fallen into darkness. And carve my name. My name is Noish the Dark Knight!

In a lofty, intoxicated voice, like an actor in a theater, he proclaims his name.

'My God, it's gruesome,'

I was stunned when I saw Noish, who had become a changed man.
 The snake demon tribe Meena will not forgive you.
 I can't forgive her for doing that to my friend.
 I clench my fists.
 ........Is this what it means to be a toy?
 I couldn't stop him.
 No, I'll put the regret behind me. Right now, I'm going to do what I have to do. I can only think about defeating the demon tribe Riogel.
 And when this battle is over, I will heal him with all my skills.
 That's the only atonement I can make for not being able to save Noish.

The demon race Riogel is even worse than I had imagined.
 Tart and I nodded to each other and we simultaneously injected the drug with a specially made syringe into his neck.

It's only for a short time, but it activates the brain and releases the limiter at the same time.
