8 Episode VIII: Fighting Assassins (1/2)
The enemy was not just a slave trader. I thought I wasn't the only one at the time I chose the 10th floor as my meeting place, but I didn't know it was a full top compatible job of my ”sheaf”...!
”... I think I see a difference in his strength.”
The right hand of the black robe flickers. Super fast stone crushing. Aim for the right eye. It's rare to have been able to avoid that.
”... well, adults, leave your daughter,”
Soon the left hand of the black robe, which was suddenly approaching, reaches out. There were steel claws on the tip of the gloves, painted with plush and purple liquid.
- Poison!?
He hurries and releases a kick, but only hits the robe, and he's far away again.
”Ha-ha-ha... ha-ha... ha-ha!
My breathing is shallow and fast. It's bad. I'm in a hurry. They'll do it one day as it is. This situation is fucked up!
”... your, life, only, help”
Loose, and black robes approaching. So,
”- That's not enough, that's all!
Screaming, I threw my hand axe in a shitty mood.
”... untie, no”
'I was running in at the same time as I threw my hand axe,' my right fist poke hits the black robe that approached me as it moved like a shadow.
- I got it!
Distracted by the scream and the hand axe, the black robe misread my movements. To one of the most famous human steeplechases, Misochi Mizuki, my fist was sucked in so accurately that it was interesting,
”... why,”
The right hand of the black robe grabs my fist disappointingly and holds it back. And his left hand... poisonous claws aimed at my neck.
”... you,”
But there was something piercing its left palm. It was picked up at the same time I ran out, ”The Opponent's Throwing Knife.”
”- My life isn't enough!
When I stabbed the left hand of the black robe with a knife, I returned the blade as it pierced and hit his bone, hanging his entire weight down. The shadowy body of the black robe was lightly slammed to the ground.
”... crap, what?
There,
”Give me my share of Prine and Mary, too!
Meow!
A right fist all over his body was thrust down into the face of a black robe.
”Oops... Ha ha...”
”Ha, ha, ha...”
Seeing the black robe cramp tingly makes me sit on the ground, too. Now the pain and fatigue came. Especially my right arm. But...
”Ha... Thanks...”
Take your breath and retrieve the hand axe that was stabbing you in the wall. Then,
”... I can't solve it”
The black robe was still sleeping in the big letters, talking. In a clear tone. It's like, I want to talk to you, not fight, but say.
”Have you ever lost to a runaway rookie?
”It's not. Not there.”
”Then where are you?”
”... instead of protecting your daughter, you dared to throw it away and go towards it”
When throwing his hand axe into it, Prine did put him to sleep on the spot. Because I thought we were both going to die while protecting you.
”Knowing that my job is superior compatible, I was afraid I would use this weapon to drive.”
The last throwing knife? Naturally, he's still stuck in the left hand of the black robe.
”But the most incredible thing - why did you get so sharply stronger...?
”... what do you mean”
”In the first to prevent my knife with a magre and the last to break my poisonous nails, the quality of the movement was clearly different. It's like, during that moment...”
Go ahead from there, but the black robe didn't talk.
I answer.
”At first, I was confused by your words. That's why I read breathing, not your words. I'm learning to be an adventurer if it's a simple exercise. After that - my heart won't give up!
”F -”
They laughed. I was laughed at with my nose. This guy, you lost.
”You, what's your name?
…… It's Larna. Larna Plata. ”
”Let's remember, Rana Plata”
”What?”
”My name is Kurokiri, the black fog. Sooner or later, I'll pay back this debt.”
That's when I finally realized. Under his black robe, his right hand is holding something.
Intuition as a sheaf alerts the trap. I held the prine and lay down on the ground. However,
- Shijuban.
The sound and slight twitching just made the black robe disappear.
”Metastatic crystals...... Is that what it feels like?”
I missed it. Shit. I don't have a choice. Would it be good if Prine just wasn't taken away?
”You can't stay long... it hurts.”
When I woke up, I recovered items and money stolen from two sleeping men. Finally, I will also take up the weapons.
The pain eased a little when I hit the potion on the wound. That's how I took out my share of the metastatic crystals and held the prine still asleep,
…………………………
I looked at the two men who remained passed out, thought for a while, sighed, and woke up the bigger one. In a low kick.
”Uh!”
”... Ouch!? Oh, what, uh, wow, you, no, you!
”Doesn't sleeping here kill a monster eating you?
”So, who told you to pass out...”
”Ah?”
”Yes, no, oh, you woke me up no...?
”I'll take you to the guild later.”
”.................. hey”
”If I run away, I'll chase you to the end of the earth.”
”Heh!”
I guess I noticed. When the man fell disappointed, he used the metastatic crystals he had and disappeared into the wind.
The other guy sleeping disappeared with me, so he can still get in on it if it's the same party. Now I can use it without worries.
I called out to the prine I carried.
