‘Instigator’ belonging to ＜Parade＞. Lesis von Chrysos was infiltrating the Empire.
He took a seat in one of the empty houses and watched the situation.
There was already a commotion outside, and the soldiers moved to their respective positions.
“Let’s see.”
As much as Lesis hid in advance, they were aware of their movements as well. Most of the elite soldiers guarded the interior of the empire.
Then who is guarding the most important wall? A place to be most thoroughly guarded. This is where the fiercest battles will take place.
“Have you diverted the conscripts to the most important side? He is too much of a monarch.”
Contrary to what she said, Lesis giggled as if she couldn’t stand it because she was amused.
The situation is confusing.
The noise mixed with shouts and shouts, the rich scent of blood flowing into the inner walls of the castle, and even the faint vibration felt in the aftermath of the battle.
Isn’t it a situation where fierce battles are being fought over and over again? If so, now is the turn of the main character.
“Looks like the tidying up is over.”
He grasped the movement of the soldiers and the situation outside. Now, when, where, and whose side it will appear on.
It would be okay to take the side of Theo who swallowed Delade’s body and attack the Empire.
Conversely, it would be okay to side with Eleanor and kill Theo.
And. Killing them both wouldn’t hurt either.
“Which side should I stick to?”
“Well? I personally would recommend not moving.”
“… … !”
As soon as she heard the voice, Lesis rolled over and left her place. When he got up again and checked where he was, the place was already a beehive.
Lesis raised her head and surveyed the beings surrounding her.
Suin, a cat with eerie red eyes and black hair.
[SR Blending Cat]
Lucia Punisher
The Empire’s intelligence department ＜Tenebris＞ began its activities on the battlefield.
“under… … ! Are you taking revenge on me for harassing you last time?”
“yes! I’d like to say… … . Unfortunately, this time I’m here to exclude you for public reasons.”
“A public reason?”
Lesis finally realized that she was surrounded by Lucia’s words.
It is a group with bad character. They must have known of Lesis’ existence.
But he didn’t move until right before he did.
“You were watching the imperial army’s movement, right? It seems that I was more meticulous than I looked, but I was short-sighted.”
Lesis moved secretly, but after all, it is an amateur movement that has not been professionally trained.
There’s no way the Imperial Intelligence Service couldn’t detect it.
He was already under surveillance at the time he entered the Empire.
And the fact that they only moved now means that they decided how to treat Lesis.
“You knew about us too, right? Then you should have paid attention to our movements first.”
If he was going to look at the imperial army’s movement in the first place, he should have anticipated the movement of ＜Tenebris＞ as well.
Isn’t controlling and manipulating information the basis of the intelligence service?
It should have been preceded by predicting the opponent’s behavior first.
“No, wait. I feel bad.”
Lesis was momentarily taken aback by the sudden situation, but answered as deftly as possible.
“Are you embarrassed? what?”
“I’m sure I’ve been working in Spellage, but I haven’t plotted anything in the Empire.”
“But isn’t it enough to be suspicious that there was an intrusion in a foreign country in a wartime situation like this?”
“If you think about it that way, so is Eleanor. Is that guy my brother? It belongs to Skientia, so in a sense, it doesn’t belong to the Empire.”
“I see, that’s a great sophistry.”
Lucia shrugged.
It seemed that the older brother was better at using the snout than the younger one.
“Sophistry? Did I say something wrong? What drives me this way now is speculation. Do you think I will commit a terrorist act? Do you have any proof?”
“Then, did you come to see anything?”
“I came to see my sister fight hard. Is that a sin?”
“Yes, it is not a sin.”
“right? Then may I go?”
“No, unfortunately, that is not possible. Lesis von Chrysos.”
“You’re not trying to screw things up because of a personal grudge, are you?”
“Of course not. But Lesis von Chrysos. You don’t know what the orders were given to us.”
Lucia sneered. Her gun was pointed at Lesis without hesitation, and so were the agents of ＜Tenebris＞ nearby.
“It’s the handling of everything that will be a variable.”
“… … .”
“Your Majesty hates audiences who interrupt his scripts.”
“under… … !”
Lesis burst into laughter at Antares’ mad judgment.
At this point, there is no law, self-defense, or anything else. The purpose of ＜Tenebris＞ does not exist in a series of processes such as patrolling or identifying hazards.
It is the exclusion of things that have been figured out in advance.
“You said that a long time ago.”
I just fooled around with sophistry.
Thinking she had wasted her time, Lesis immediately threw out her spear.
bang!
The target is Lucia, who is ridiculed right in front of her eyes. It was a surprise attack that followed right after the dialogue broke down.
“… … Do you know that you were petty?”
“know.”
However, Lucia did not avoid or block Lesis’ attack.
Lesis’ space-crossing attack pierced exactly where Lucia had been.
But that’s it.
Lucia’s [Schrödinger’s Cat] lets the attack itself go away.
It doesn’t matter whether it jumps out of space or jumps right in front of your eyes.
“I want you to die peacefully. Lesis von Chrysos.”
As soon as Lucia’s words ran out, Lesis rolled on the floor like she did the first time.
However, it took much longer to get up.
Because the gunfire followed his movements.
‘How many people are there?’
I can’t straighten my stance due to the relentless follow-up attack.
Lesis thought angrily.
In ＜Tenebris＞, even though each person’s specialty is different, everyone is an assassin.
It was also unusual to hide their presence, so Lesys couldn’t even notice until they approached.
“But, well, I guess.”
In the middle of rolling, Lesis deflected the bullets flying through the window and threw them out at the same time.
It was not a prepared attack, but the power was weak.
“Ouch!”
“What?!”
If you can hit a vital point, you can make it fatal enough without a very strong blow.
Of course, the opponent won’t take it straight away, but it will be a check.
And above all… … .
“I thought one or two would get caught.”
It’s not a simple attack that you can easily avoid just knowing it.
Even if they couldn’t kill them, more and more agents were injured in the process of avoiding the spears flying towards vital points.
There is a gap in the siege net.
‘Okay, now slowly… … .’
Lesis, who was busy rolling in all directions while dodging bullets, gradually regained her composure.
“If you wanted to kill me, you should have done it before you talked to me.”
After adjusting her posture, Lesis let out a sneer and grabbed the spear.
If it was intended to be a surprise attack in the first place, it shouldn’t have known its existence.
“An ambush is only effective when it goes undetected. You don’t seem to have much talent as a commander, do you?”
Lesis ridiculed the current situation as if it were a failure stemming from Lucia’s mistake.
‘Well, actually, it’s not like that.’
It’s not enough to just kill yourself as much as it bothers you.
I will kill you by making you look as miserable as possible and resentful.
“Uh, um. As a commander… … .”
However, Lucia did not blink an eye at Lesis’ provocation with such an intention.
No, rather, he sighed as if it was absurd.
“Who says I’m the commander?”
“What? what is that… … .”
Snap!
“… … uh?”
Lesis rolled on the floor without even finishing her question.
However, it was not an action to avoid an attack like before.
He has already conceded an attack.
Right now, it would be more accurate to say that the force of the attack gave way to his legs.
Fortunately, he was able to prevent the pursuing blow, but it was already fatal.
“what is this… … .”
hit from the front
And even though the opponent was right in front of me, I didn’t even notice until I was cut.
Lesis, he is also a warrior.
Of course, it is also possible to see through other people’s gicheok or life.
But this time it was different.
Even though he sensed a sense of incongruity in Lucia’s words, he couldn’t avoid it.
Even though I expected an attack to be exact, I couldn’t avoid it.
It’s because I didn’t notice the fact that there was a person right nearby.
Lesis didn’t know that her opponent was nearby until right before she was cut.
“The response is quick. As I heard beforehand, I thought it would be an annoying opponent, but it is more than I thought.”
Dark hair, red eyes.
A man with a long sword and a cold expression on his face.
[SSR Penetrating Shadow]
Discre Punisher
“no… … Isn’t that what I’m supposed to say? what the hell are you Did I get my eyes on you? I can’t see well.”
Lesis muttered with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
“You don’t have to know who I am.”
Lesis could feel the guns pointed at her.
An eerie sensation of piercing the skin.
But there was something else more frightening than the visible threat.
‘This really makes no sense. The corpse must be more popular than that.’
It was that he couldn’t feel anything from the opponent in front of him.
“Whoa… … .”
Let’s run away.
To fight an opponent right in front of you, you have to put a lot of effort into it.
However, it is unreasonable no matter how much you think about doing it in parallel in a situation where you are being targeted by so many assassins.
Whoo!
Resis made that conclusion and swung her spear wide.
“I didn’t want to show it in front of you guys.”
Showing off secret skills in front of an intelligence organization is the worst. Even more so if it’s a skill for escaping, not for killing enemies.
The arcane spearmanship of the Chrysos royal family that transcends space.
He is still immature compared to Delay, who can throw a spear in any direction he wants.
So, penetrating a straight space was the maximum, but… … . There was something that could be applied just for that.
Whirik.
The tip of the spear forms a circle by swinging it round and round.
There are also gaps in the siege net.
That’s near the leader, Discre. No matter how tight the siege was, it wouldn’t make the leader of his group into a beehive.
It is an inevitable gap.
“You better be prepared. The moment you miss the tip of my spear is the moment you will lose.”
The opponent doesn’t even move, as if they think they’ve already won.
No, since it is an intelligence organization, it might be trying to look at Lesys’ technology.
If so, that will get you in trouble.
Lesis headed for the completed door towards the crack near Discre, and charged using her body’s anti-elasticity.
straight line.
Moves with the spear the maximum distance he can penetrate.
Based on the standard of crossing the circle, he thinks even his body is a window.
“Idiots. I was told to see it, but I’m really just watching it.”
Lesis jumped over the space in front of everyone like that. A run away that could not have been expected with a dignified appearance.
While most ＜Tenebris＞ are embarrassed by the absurd situation.
Lucia shrugged and asked at Discre.
“Is it okay if I let them run away like that?”
Unlike usual, this was a public situation, so it was an honorific.
don’t you have to chase
No, why did Discre let him escape in the first place?
＜Tenebris＞ was not something I just watched stupidly. I just thought that Discre would cope with it in the first place.
But Discre did not move. To Lucia’s question with such a meaning, Discre answered with a calm expression as usual.
“Oops, the thought was brief. to have such an ability. It’s a pity, but I’ll give up the chase.”
“Yes… … ?”
“Withdraw.”
It’s a lie.
It was a lie to anyone.
But no one could dispute that.
only one person.
“No, wait. brother. What the hell are you thinking?”
Except for Lucia Punisher.
Lucia approached Discre and whispered in his ear.
“What were you doing up until now in the first place and why is it so late?”
“Wait, I have something to do.”
“What’s your business?”
“Yes, I have someone to meet.”
With those words, Discre moved towards the next point.
“He’s a family member, but he’s a very difficult person to talk to… … .”
Lucia let out a deep sigh as she saw the discree begin to move during the conversation.
“… … .”
Diskre thought as she went to find the next disturbing molecule.
He allowed Lesis to escape.
I couldn’t help it.
‘At this rate, killing was everything.’
he is a soldier And the order given to the emperor is the elimination of the disquieting elements.
He knows that Lesis has hurt Lucia.
And that Lucia was quite depressed about it. That’s why it wasn’t enough to kill him.
‘Killing is not enough.’
I hope that the wounds suffered by my sister will be many times greater pain.
With that meaning in mind, Discre let Lesis run away.
Precisely, he induced the direction to move. made such a deal.
Where he will go from now on… … .
‘He’s a much more emotional and ruthless person than I am, so he’ll do just fine.’
There is a person who should be looking forward to Lesis more than anyone else.
* * *
When he arrived in the Empire, the war had already begun.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be late, but it could be said that it was a confusing situation.
Despite the circumstances, the promised goods were delivered to me.
“After all, he is competent.”
The one sent to me is a man with blue-silver hair and blue eyes like Eleanor.
Lesis von Chrysos.
I expected this guy to intervene, but I can’t help but laugh when I run into him like this.
“You didn’t think you really ran away against Tenebris, did you?”
“This crazy… … .”
I knew how hard it was to get out of it when I became the prey of ＜Tenebris＞.
It’s hard even if it’s the original Oz. Even the bluff I used to make in the first place worked only under the assumption that I had graduated from ＜Skientia＞.
So it’s no coincidence that this guy appeared in front of me.
Discree induced his thinking to run away this way.
“Uh… … So, the successor of the King of Darkness? Nice to see you like this I heard that your sister owes a lot to you. Oh, can I pass by for a minute? I have something urgent to do.”
Lesis, who had a devastated expression on her face, immediately spoke to me in a calm tone as if she were talking to a friend.
It’s like we bumped into each other on the road. Do you really think that will work?
Or are you trying to shake my mentality? Anyway, if that’s the case, I think it’d be better for this side to return an appropriate answer as well.
“I am no longer the heir, but the King of Darkness… … of course. To be honest, I have a slightly different opinion from Lucia.”
“Oh yeah? What did she say about me?”
I remember.
When Lucia explained the guy with a gloomy expression.
“I told you it would be better if you didn’t run into Eleanor.”
“So you’re saying you’re different? Well, the guy who blocks the reunion with his family is the weird guy.”
Yeah, unfortunately I couldn’t agree with her argument.
“I think no matter how trashy you are, you should meet Eleanor at least once.”
Isn’t this guy one of Eleanor’s surviving family members?
If you have a family, Eleanor will be able to ease the burden on your heart as well.
They will be caught sooner or later, but until then, the position of a lucky surviving family member is sufficient.
“only.”
yes, so
Even the limbs that wander.
Even the bullshit snout.
Even the stupid thinking brain.
“After I became a vegetative person with my limbs cut off.”
don’t you need it
“no… … . You seem like the weirdest person I’ve ever seen.”
wow oz is so pissed off.
