The Youngest Assassin Is a Swordsman Genius

episode 23

I wasn’t sure exactly what the voice echoed in my brain.

Except for speculation that it might be related to the Black Dragon Shrine.

It came to my mind suddenly after I put on the breastplate.

‘Getting out is the priority.’

The fact of the infiltration went undetected, and there was still quite a bit of time left before dawn.

But I left the compartment as quickly as I could.

In order to move the leader of wisdom to the eastern branch, he had to work diligently.

The border still looked very strict.

But escaping was much easier than infiltrating.

The magic barriers and traps have already been released, so all you have to do is come back.

It was still late at night, so the place was extremely quiet.

I glanced back at the governor’s residence and left Aberdeen as it was.

‘I’m going to eat the eggs.’

Erasing the traces and repeating the northward endlessly, the Daysol Wasteland, which is in contact with the Forest of the Dead, came out.

If you go all the way northwest from here, there was the Marquisate of Pennant in the eastern part of the Bertos Empire.

Even reaching that point was no different from a mission.

But suddenly, I sensed the people following me.

“Even if you noticed the intrusion, you wouldn’t be able to follow me here?”

Everfilt was a huge group of the best wizards on the continent of Revius.

But even if they immediately started tracking it, it wouldn’t make sense to go so fast.

Even if Governor Felix, who was said to have reached the end of Tier 3, moved directly, the result would have been the same.

Just because it’s magic doesn’t mean it’s omnipotent.

The three horsemen approached at breakneck speed, and began spinning long chains overhead.

At the end of the chain were three large weights, which were called scorpion tails.

“Stand there!”

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

He leaned heavily to avoid the flail, but the attacks continued endlessly.

As the three of them took turns striking at each other, there was no time to breathe.

Besides, the conditions were not very good for fighting on horseback.

All of them brought strong electric horses, but I was riding an ordinary pack horse.

It was extremely unfavorable in terms of speed and endurance.

‘The first thing is to stop. Fighting on horseback isn’t good at all.’

I swung to the right and swung something white.

The one who was pulled out of the waist was the leader of wisdom.

Actually, I took it out to see the reaction of the enemies.

Just by looking at how he treated the holy relic, he could guess the identity of the opponent.

However, the results were somewhat different from what I expected.

Jjoong!

When the scorpion tail collided with the white stick, a heavy repulsive force was created.

A sharp, deafening sound was a bonus.

“Oh oh?”

Despite not carrying an aura, the captain of wisdom lightly bounced off the iron flail.

I thought it was just an object carved out of wood, but it seemed that something special was inherent in it.

So, the clergy of the Krause Church must have revered it as a sacred object.

Due to the recent collision, the rider on the right fell behind.

I took a bigger turn, kicked off the saddle, and jumped off.

Tadat! record.

As if it had entered the Desol Wasteland at some point, the entire floor was ocher-colored sand.

Scratching the ground and holding my balance, I lightly swung the crown of wisdom.

Just like when using a sword.

Then the three guys who were charging hurriedly reduced their speed.

The pursuer in the lead opened his mouth with his bright eyes shining.

It was a voice that seemed to suppress a heart full of anger.

“You bastard! Do you know what kind of thing it is and handle it that way?”

“This? It’s just a wooden stick.”

“Stolen without knowing its value, what a fucking bastard. What did Nelson do?”

“Who is that?”

“An agent on our side who infiltrated at the same time as you.”

“He? He worked hard on his own, then burned to death. In the first place, he sent a guy with some skills. At first glance, you guys seem to have a higher level.”

“…”

The opponent’s eyes narrowed slightly through the mask.

The sarcastic comment seemed a bit offended.

Even while talking, I was trying to figure out their level.

‘One is at the end of Tier 5, and the other two are Tier 6.’

I couldn’t figure it out exactly, but I could guess to some extent.

Even if it’s just one step, the gap gets bigger the higher you go.

“He’s a guy that shouldn’t be spoken of. Eliminate him and recapture the leader of wisdom.”

“Yes!”

When the leader gave the order, the other two split left and right and twisted the iron bar.

Drooling!

Then, wouldn’t the length of the flail double?

It seemed to be a weapon that could be adjusted so that it could be used according to the situation.

Whoo! Whoo!

They slowly turned the pendulum at the end of the chain and began to form an encirclement.

Since it was a long weapon, the sound of cutting through the air was unusual.

It felt like my bones would break if I got hit properly.

“Hit!”

“Hurya!”

Whoops!

A total of nine weights were swung to smash my head.

The offensive that was poured out with the heavy destruction was quite powerful.

However, I was fully aware of the trajectory of the attack.

Swoop.

The white stick, which moved according to the technique of the silent-style sword, struck them lightly and passed them by.

It was only at the level of slightly twisting the direction by touching the side, but the result was quite surprising.

Follow me!

The shock wave generated from the leader of wisdom pushed the iron weight in the opposite trajectory.

“Ahh!”

The reaction force was so strong that the one who wielded the flail on the right fell down with a scream.

His arm was bent in a strange way.

It seemed that it could not withstand the impact and was broken.

“Oh! I felt it before, but this tastes bad?”

Perhaps the leader of wisdom was not a weapon.

It didn’t even have a handle, and it was thick.

However, the effect at the time of collision was quite satisfactory.

Even if I just swung it, the opponent was at the level of falling out, so there was no need to cause an aura.

I tried injecting it just in case, but Ji-hye’s head bounced it off, whether it was aura or mana.

As expected, it seemed that it was because the essence was holy.

‘It’s nice that there’s no wasted energy. Like the artifact that Nelson was carrying.’

The battle was so easy that you could do a bit of thinking on the way.

The remaining one also failed to overcome the counter-resilience of leader Ji-hye and collapsed.

Now, only one leader remains.

He was looking at his scattered men with broken arms with complicated eyes.

I pointed at the other person with the leader of wisdom and gave a fishy smile.

“Why is that? Aren’t you staggering?”

“What are you talking about? When will I…”

“It was said that it would happen in the future!”

Wow! Damn!

The leader reflexively applied the flail to the white stick aiming for the lower end.

There was no time to swing the chain, so it was a defensive stance taken as a last resort.

However, the power of the sacred object was stronger than he thought.

“Keuouh!”

The leader staggered and swung his scorpion tail at the tingling shockwave that penetrated even to the bone marrow.

However, the attack that the lower body did not properly support was nothing more than a meaningless floundering.

I dodged the iron weight with light movements and stabbed the leader of wisdom.

“Look at that, it’s staggering.”

Whoa!

Then, the leader, who was hit right in the chest, fell backwards.

He was wearing a hard breastplate, but it didn’t seem to be of much use.

It was to the extent that the iron plate was crushed by the unbelievable force.

After lightly subduing the three, I put the leader of wisdom on my shoulders.

“Now, shall we find out what they are doing?”

Now it was time to interrogate them and dig up information.

But isn’t it a strange vibrating sound in my ears?

Jiying.

I was just tapping my shoulder, but the leader of wisdom was activated.

“No, you crazy relic! Take care of the caster!”

Whoa!

There was a moment of commotion due to the shock wave that was triggered out of nowhere.

Fortunately, I didn’t suffer any damage.

As soon as there was a sign that Wisdom’s commander would be activated, he rolled his body.

Of course, these damn white sticks are quickly placed.

Anyway, now the head of wisdom was being used for a different purpose.

“So, there is a faction in the Krause Church, and they are fighting to get this… What’s so complicated about it?”

“Well, that’s what I said as briefly as possible.”

Surprisingly, it was Bishop Del-Pero of the Holy Church of Krause who sent Nelson and these guys.

It was the opposing faction Archbishop Mu-Ogent who placed the request for recapture to the Landsvalger Assassin.

When it came time for the pope to decide on a successor, it seemed that they were frantic to raise their performance.

It was milder than the battle for the throne of the Kingdom of Railhash, but it was a very similar situation anyway.

I looked at the bloody bastards disapprovingly and fell into deep thought.

Then the pursuers’ expressions became uncomfortable.

“What?”

“Oh, no.”

It’s not a word, but it seemed like it was because I was wearing Wisdom’s head as an elbow rest.

I’ve hit people with this, but isn’t this kind of use a big deal?

My tongue clenched, I just confirmed the disposition of these guys.

“If you die by being hit by the holy relic, you will probably go to the heaven you cry out for. Whether you live eternal life there or not.”

“Now, let’s go to sleep…”

The leader tried to say something, but Ji-hye’s leader was already being swung around with a terrifying force.

Poo-!

* * *

“The target was successfully recaptured without any special notice. Here.”

Took.

Returning to the Eastern Branch, I placed the head of wisdom on Dusk’s office desk.

The holy relic, which emitted an auspicious light, was soaked in red blood.

Seeing the state of things, the branch manager looked up at me with an absurd expression.

“What is this…. not the leader of wisdom, but the leader of the fresh blood.”

“If you clean it, things will be clear. I’ve experienced the power of it myself.”

“This holy relic was not made to be used as a weapon, right?”

“Are you sure your performance is okay?”

“…”

With a small nod, Dusk called an agent and instructed him to clean the head of wisdom.

While the agents who brought the handkerchief removed the bloodstains, I finished my return report.

Of course, the highlight of completing the mission was the special allowance.

“When will my allowance come out?”

“You’ll have to wait a bit. The amount is large and you need to get approval from your superiors.”

“Hey, can you just give me some right away?”

“There are more important things than special allowances, anyway.”

“All right. I’ll just take the money and go.”

“Ugh! That doesn’t work.”

“why!”

“That’s what you mean…”

Dusk had changed seriously before he knew it.

When the playful branch manager hardened his expression, the atmosphere instantly became heavy.

Since the original was so rough, it seemed to feel that way even more.

I asked a question thinking that I should take good care of my face.

“What’s the matter with you holding so much weight?”

After a brief pause, the branch manager looked out the window and said,

“The summoning order has been issued from the island of Black Rin.”

“To say this out of the blue… do I really have to go too?”

“yes.”

“why?”

“Because the head of household has returned.”

thud!

The moment Dusk finished speaking, I could feel my heart beating fast.
