Episode 102 – Kwaein Sokhaengdan (快認速行丹).
102. Kwaein Sohaengdan (快認速行丹).
“Your face is so shiny. How many people did you have to cut just to get rid of that wrinkle? “It must have taken four years to consume half of the anti-aging elixir from the empire.”
Leon spat out whatever he could. Since I couldn’t fight, I had to at least use my tongue.
He had known from the moment of the attack what organization they were and the identity of the woman wearing the fox mask.
First of all, the name of the organization is Sahyang (死香). It is one of the largest organizations in the world behind the empire.
Their origin is an assassin group. These days, they are dealing with all types of crimes that can make money, but their main business is still assassination requests.
In this company, there are seven executives called the Seven Chairs, and one of them is that woman.
Her nickname is Ghost Tiger. She roughly means ghost fox, but Leon just remembered her as an old fox.
Widely known characteristics include wearing a fox mask and being an old monster who has been active in the underworld for over 40 years.
“If youth is that good, train hard and raise your level. Oh, am I too old to have the passion for that? Are your joints sore from moving too hard? Well, it would be easier and better to buy medicine with the money I earned by killing people, as I have done for the rest of my sixty years. “As you get older, change becomes more difficult.”
“······.”
Therefore, Leon’s personal attacks were not completely without impact. Although she looks like she is in her early 20s, it is highly likely that she is actually over 60 years old.
Guiho must not have hidden her expression by wearing the mask she had taken off for no reason.
“······Hoho. Young master, don’t you want to live a long life? “Do you think if I just get over it now, you’ll never see me again?”
Her fingertips kept twitching. She wanted to rip Leon’s mouth off right now, but she couldn’t.
Soon, the empire’s troops will flock in like a pack of dogs. If they formed a siege, even she wouldn’t be able to escape safely.
Leon is not a weakling who can be defeated within seconds. If you deal with him, it will definitely take longer than your limit.
Leon also could not hastily rush into an opponent who was clearly superior to him. That was a bit dangerous.
A strange standoff was formed in which only harsh words were exchanged between the two sides.
‘Such a bastard.’
Gwiho suppressed the anger and anger boiling inside him.
I was curious about the third Young master, who is popular these days, so I thought I’d talk to him for a moment.
I never thought he would be such a bastard with no dignity or formality whatsoever.
And looking at him fighting, he didn’t look like a master from a prestigious family.
It is appropriate to say that he was very skilled in the overall assassination skills and that his fighting style was also ferocious. Also, it seemed like he had a lot of experience in actual battles like the previous melee.
Although they were used as castaways, they are assassins brought in to infiltrate the Dragon Heart Palace. Gwiho even personally verified his skills.
You can take on the secret attack of dozens of those guys without shedding a single drop of blood?
This guy definitely has something. The person who recently lined up was not put on the list of persons of interest for no reason.
Guiho glanced at the watch on his wrist and said.
“Young master, I feel like we will see each other again soon. Are you careful on the road at night? “Let’s see if we can still make fun of that snout then.”
“Okay. See you later, old fox, toothless fox, old woman fox…”
“To the very end!”
Your arm drew a short arc.
Hwiik- Boom!
Leon jumped to the side and dodged the black fireball that flew at him. The floor where the fireball fell melted black.
It was immediately after that that numerous solid blue lines were drawn around the ghost’s body.
Kwajijijijijijijik!
Strongs of high-pressure electricity spread out in all directions around her.
Guiho quickly waved her hand. A wave of black mana exploded in a circular pattern, fading away her lightning bolt.
“Tch.”
Aria came up next to Leon and clicked her tongue.
“Oh my, what is this again?”
Guiho looked at Aria, her eyes shining.
Next moment.
Kuuung!
A tremor erupted throughout the Dragon Heart Palace. It was a vibration as if a barrier had been broken.
“See you again, Young master. “How’s your pretty friend there?”
Gwiho said a few words as if it were really the last time.
Shiririk!
At the same time, her new form melted away like a shadow and disappeared.
“······.”
“······.”
Leon and Aria looked at each other.
Leon, who was tasting his appetite, guessed.
“Are we done with the transmission magic disruption strategy?”
“I think so.”
Aria responded.
Soon.
Pajijijijijing-!
The mana in the hall fluctuated violently. New types of knights wearing full armor appeared in all directions out of the air.
The emblem of the imperial family was engraved on their breastplates. As soon as the obstruction was lifted, the knights of the imperial family arrived.
“On alert!”
“Arrange your battle lines!”
With their eyes wide open, they quickly prepared for battle as soon as they landed on the ground. A lot of sword energy and swordsmanship rose from the drawn sword body.
“Prepare for an attack!”
“Don’t relax!”
“Damn it! “My heart has been stolen!”
“Do well, do well…”
Leon crossed his arms and looked at them, then suddenly shouted.
“Stop messing around and take care of things!!”

The next morning.
“The nine cadets, led by Leon Crusip, must obey the will of His Majesty the Emperor.”
The emperor’s envoy arrived at the Asonia family.
“······.”
Leon followed his companions and knelt down on one knee and bowed his head slightly.
Puck, puck.
“?”
Essa Belle hit Leon’s side with her elbow.
Leon spoke to her with her mouth.
‘Why?’
‘You should go to the front.’
Leon curled his mouth, lowered his head and moved away.
The envoy, who had been licking his lips, continued speaking.
“His Majesty the Emperor expressed considerable regret over this incident…”
Leon fixed his gaze on the pattern on the floor tiles and listened.
Roughly speaking, the contents of this attack on the Dragon Heart Palace were that it happened because the imperial family was not enough, that they were sorry, and that they would compensate for the damage caused.
“I will pay a leap forward to the one -day Yongsimgung Palace, which was not first used for everyone. In addition, a special prize will be given to Prince Leon Crusip, who contributed greatly to the destruction of the evil beasts.”
The scroll the envoy brought was folded. An attendant behind him approached carrying a large box.
– Master, wake up.
Aria’s mana message stuck in Leon’s head.
“·······?!”
Leon’s shoulders trembled as he shook his head. He reflexively got up from his seat.
“······.”
“······.”
Leon and the envoy holding the box made eye contact.
‘······You bastard, why don’t you give it to me?’
Leon, half asleep, glared at him in silence. A trembling silence passed.
– Sit back down, you idiot!
Esabel’s words resonated with me. Only then did Leon come to his senses.
“Oh my, thank you. “I will accept it.”
Leon knelt down and held out both his hands.
The envoy kept his expression as calm as possible and handed over the box.
“······That’s it.”
The envoy and attendant briefly bowed their heads and walked out. The steps seemed urgent for some reason.
Leon placed the box on the table with a thump sound without even looking at it.
“Would you like to see His Majesty’s castle? “Guys, gather around.”
He hummed excitedly, rubbing his palms together.
“I will check it out. Ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-dan, thump-jjak, thump-jjak…”
The cadets’ attention was focused.
Leon grabbed the bottom of the box wrapped in luxurious decorations and opened it.
An elegant scent that fills you as soon as you open the box.
“Oh.”
“This.”
Short exclamations came out here and there.
Glass bottles, wooden boxes, ampoules, etc. Were packaged like a Korean beef gift set exchanged on holidays.
The names of the cadets were engraved on golden nameplates on top of the different types of elixirs.
“Hey, this is Geumryeongdan (金靈丹)!”
“The breath of Meldes…”
A suitable elixir was given to each cadet, taking into account the martial arts, magic, and physical constitution that each cadet learned.
“Oh… I paid some attention.”
Leon also picked up the wooden box under his name and opened the lid.
Click-.
A herbal medicine was produced with a subtle mixture of sky blue and gray white.
Leon read the enclosed manual.
“It’s called ‘Kwiein Sohaengdan (快認速行丹).’ Does this mean you recognize quickly and act quickly?”
According to the description, it significantly increases reflexes, visual acuity, thinking speed, and agility, so it will be effective for martial artists who focus on training.
It seems like the imperial family somehow found out about Leon’s recent training in quick sword skills and sent him to him.

“Is there an elixir that has this effect? “Goren will be foaming at the mouth when he sees this.”
Obviously, this kind of elixir that had this special effect was a hundred to a thousand times better than an elixir that vaguely boosted or purified energy. It couldn’t even be compared to the tears Melshakra gave to Goren.
“You have to eat something like this right away.”
Don’t worry about someone stealing it, Leon headed straight to Jeseonggwan to consume it.
“······.”
Aria followed closely behind him.
