The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

69 – Cat Thieves (7)

Ornet was sitting at the table in her her room her her her, tying his hair her her her.

Although it’s a bit clumsy, it looks pretty good when tied together.

He thought as he looked at his face her her in the mirror.

My hair has been bothering me lately, so I thought it would be a good idea to tie it up a bit.

The softly sparkling hair band dotted with fake jewels went very well with Ornette’s calm gray hair.

Even though she doesn’t like giant women, she likes her braids.

I touched his head and went to the floating window.

I looked outside, but there was nothing to see.

When will those assassins come?

After looking around for a moment, Ornette went back to bed.

If the attack really starts, the defensive magic will work on its own.

If the defensive magic blocks the assassins, the office manager will definitely praise you for a job well done, right?

I hope so.

Ornette, lying on the bed, played around with the hair tie the giant woman gave her for a while and then fell asleep.

* * * * *

That’s strange.

He thought as he looked out through the curtains.

Assassins were moving between the alleys.

It was a movement in which an ordinary person would not even be able to tell that there were people there, as it was a concealed maneuver using the shadow of moonlight and geographical features.

It seems like the Tenevres of Chantisy are certain.

But why doesn’t the defensive magic work?

Even if they are far away, there are still a few of them standing close to the bottom of the wall, groping for the doorknob.

Could it be that Ornette didn’t install defensive magic?

It can’t be like that?

What on earth.

I looked down at the guy hiding right under the window I was standing in.

I realized the situation when I saw the guy’s boots and gloves shining in the faint moonlight.

These use magic resistance oil.

That’s why the defensive magic couldn’t detect it.

But it’s a bit strange.

Although we installed a low-strength defensive magic due to the entrance and exit of passers-by and clients, it is impossible to prevent detection like this.

Unless it was made by a demon hunter himself, there is no way there is an oil that performs that well.

I’m curious about the source of that oil.

Anyway, since the magic doesn’t work, I guess I’ll have to do it myself.

I pulled out my Nightrend as I saw a guy throwing a hook at our guild from the rooftop of another building.

Let’s think about the strength of defensive magic later, but for now…

Boom!

Suddenly, an assassin fell from the sky, shattering the paving stones.

My back was twisted at a strange angle.

Looks like the guy who just tried to jump to the rooftop?

The assassins’ movements became urgent due to the sudden situation.

I kicked out the window and ran outside.

* * * * *

Tenevre, hiding under the shadows, sent several people in first.

Some are on windows and doors, and some are on the roofs of nearby buildings.

Their boots and gloves were shiny because they had been coated with magic resistance oil.

It was obtained through one way or another, and is the same high-quality ingredient used by demon hunters.

After finding out that the gray-haired woman was a wizard, she used it just in case.

Since he was young, his defensive magic would probably be minimal, and if so, he thought that oil would be enough to overcome it.

As if Tenevre’s judgment was correct, nothing happened even though the guild members were close to the wall of the building.

After all, it is worth spending a lot of money.

Recently, oil made by demon hunters has been secretly circulating in the back world, so it was a good idea to buy it.

Tenevre sent a hand signal to the waiting guild members.

Then, the guild members from the rooftop of a nearby building jumped to the roof of Lucas Guild.

One guild member who had just landed on the guild roof was suddenly thrown out.

The guild member who fell with his back completely bent backwards did not move at all as if he died instantly

Tenevre looked up at the roof and noticed someone standing there.

A tall woman wearing only her underwear was looking down with her arms crossed.

Could it be that she is that warrior?

Did they know we were coming and were waiting for us?

But how?

Tenèvre quickly shook his head.

If a warrior you haven’t seen before appears, there is a high probability that there will be a demon hunter as well.

What if they didn’t notice the infiltration? If they are caught, they can’t carry out the assassination.

When a hand signal was sent to retrieve the body and withdraw, the guild members began to move quickly.

At that time, the window on the first floor of the guild opened and something black came out.

Almost simultaneously, the heads of two guild members near the window fell.

Is that really the demon hunter?

However, Tenèvre found it difficult to understand that at first.

The man holding the pitch-black knife did not look like a vicious demon hunter who slaughters demons while drinking poison.

The appearance of a good-natured and tall young man often seen in big cities.

However, the moment the man stepped forward, Tenevre had no choice but to be convinced that the man was a demon hunter.

As the man blinked in a zigzag pattern, drawing a tail like black smoke, four or five guild members fell down and dropped their heads.

Tenevre, who had lost half of his guild members in the blink of an eye, shouted in a voice.

“Everyone in hiding!”

The guild members who heard the command hurriedly cast the stealth skill.

But for two reasons, it became completely useless.

In the eyes of Leonard, who was much stronger and had sharper senses than the assassins, those in hiding were vaguely visible.

And the second reason was a disaster falling from the sky.

Lucene, who threw herself from the roof, landed and slammed her fist into the ground, knocking all the hidden assassins into the air.

“Retreat! Everyone retreat!”

Tenevre took out his hook and shouted at the unbelievable sight that occurred one after another.

The surviving guild members leaped with their hooks onto a nearby building.

However, those who suddenly appeared from the roof cut off the hook with a dagger.

Except for Tenevre’s.

Tenevre, soaring above the roof, and falling guild members intersected in the air.

“No!”

Landing on her roof, Tenevre tried to jump again, but someone threw a noose around her neck.

“I came to save you, sister.”

Drapener, who was wrapping the end of the noose around his wrist her, let out an evil smile.

Tenevre, looking at her brother’s face, recognized everything.

“You, you… !”

As Tenevre tried to draw out her dagger, Drepenner pulled hard on her noose.

Drepenner said, looking at Tenevre moaning on the floor.

“You stormed into that guild without really finding out what kind of place it was? Huh?”

“Pfft! Release me… !”

“She’s always been like that. Didn’t I always tell you that the basis of assassination is gathering information? She’s always been lacking in that aspect. So, wouldn’t she end up in the same situation today?”

Dreffener expected Tenèvre to be like this.

Tenevre is the type that only focuses on the assassination itself and doesn’t pay much attention to anything else.

So she thought it would definitely happen like this, and her prediction was correct.

Tenevre tried to retort, but Drepenner tightened her noose.

“Let’s go to our guild first. “I will protect you for a while.”

Dreffener dragged her by her side, not giving her Tenevre a chance to speak.

“Come on, sister. It’ll be fun guild life. Just like before.”

Drapener and her guild members fled the scene, taking Tenebre with them, who was completely subdued.

* * * * *

“Oh, my waist.”

It entered Lucene’s skill range and violently rolled on the floor.

Lucene laughed and grabbed her arm as she tried to get up while groaning.

I was forced to my feet, almost jumping, looked around and clicked my tongue.

About a dozen corpses were rolling around on the floor in their own way.

When I peeled off the shoulder of a corpse lying nearby, the tattoo was clearly visible.

As you guessed, Tenevre Guild of Chantisy.

I wasn’t embarrassed because it was something I expected.

“Stupid guys. Those who want to assassinate will get caught for making such a fuss about living.”

Lucene giggled and began to gather the corpses in one place.

Lucene, like me, sensed them in advance and was waiting.

“Ahh! What is this!”

The guild door opened and Celestine jumped out and screamed.

“They’re all dead. So stop screaming.”

Leana, who came out next, unlike Celestine, first looked at her corpse’s shoulder.

“It’s Tenèvre. You finally came.”

“Yes. One of them ran away.”

“Then it’s almost annihilated?”

Said Leana, counting her corpse with her fingers.

“The last time I checked, there were twenty-three registered Tenevre guild members. Six people died last time and thirteen died here, so there are only four left.”

“That’s right. One guild disappeared.”

“Anyway, you’re really persistent. All the guild members are coming to take revenge. But the guild leader is there too.”

At those words, Lucene took off her mask one by one and asked.

“What does it look like?”

“I just know she’s a woman.”

“There are no women?”

“It’s strange. The Tenevre Guild has a very strong sense of belonging, so if it moved on this scale, the guild leader would definitely have followed.”

While we were checking the body, Ornette came out without a sound and was groping the wall of the building.

* * * * *

It’s strange.

It’s clear that there is a defensive spell, but why didn’t it work?

Isn’t this really ridiculous?

No matter how many times I check and recheck, the defensive magic is currently protecting the guild normally.

But why didn’t you do anything while more than ten enemies approached?

Why is this really like this?

You’ve done well so far, so why at such an important time?

If the giant woman and the office manager hadn’t been awake, we would all have died today.

Quickly find out exactly what the problem is and if it’s my fault…

Ornette bit her lip and glanced at the secretary talking with the guild leader.

What if the office manager considers me a useless employee?

“Thanks to you, Lucene.”

The office manager spoke to the giant woman.

“Luckily, you were on the roof at the right time, so we were able to prevent the intrusion into the guild.”

“How could you stay still when you were making so much noise? I was impatient, so I went out to meet you first.”

“Okay.”

The office manager smiled and tapped the giant woman on the shoulder.

“Good job, Lucene.”

That was definitely a compliment to me…?!

Ornette clutched Robe’s chest as her heart pounded suddenly and unpleasantly.

The defensive magic I created didn’t work and that ignorant giantess stopped the assassins.

The secretary came to think that the giant woman was more important to the guild than me.

What do we do… ?
