92 – Serien decides (3)
A strange man suddenly jumped out from behind Aisha with a haze-like effect.
‘Assassin!’
An effective ambush that took advantage of the moment when the two of us were distracted by the artifact at the same time.
If I hadn’t raised my head all of a sudden, I would have allowed the ambush.
At the moment of attack, I could barely notice it because I had to cancel the effect of the invisibility cloak.
An assassin wearing an invisibility cloak and holding a black bladed dagger. It was the exact opposite of the assassin the emperor had told me about.
The man who held out the dagger to his father, this time is holding out the blade to Aisha.
As expected, Aisha, like a person who has fought countless wars, quickly realized his existence and half-consciously put on the mana barrier. However, the weapon the assassin is holding is the ‘reverse constellation dagger’.
A sword made to kill only wizards.
Blocks mana and negates mana.
The black blade cut through Aisha’s mana barrier so easily as if it sliced through the tofu, and rushed toward her back.
That dagger is a heinous sword that inflicts damage in proportion to its magical power and mana as the target magician is stronger.
Luktae said that it was only a replica and that it disturbed mana, but if the target was Aisha, there was a high possibility that it would suffer enormous damage.
It was enough to understand why the assassin used that weapon.
‘Don’t be funny!’
Even if I die, I will never see Aisha stabbed in the back in front of my eyes.
In that case, I’d rather be beaten!
“Wow…!?”
Just before the assassin’s blade stabbed Ayesha in the back, I pulled her arm.
However, even the assassin was not easy enough to blow away such an ambush attempt.
Immediately following that momentum, the blade changed its direction. Now, as if thinking that he had a clear chance, he moved towards Aisha’s nape.
‘Damn it!’
Without thinking, I recklessly pulled Aisha into my arms. Then, very naturally, the dagger of the reverse constellation continued its momentum toward Aisha.
“Keep it off!!”
Stabbed me in the back.
The feeling of metal tearing through the skin and digging into the muscles gives a truly bleak yet unpleasant sensation whenever you feel it.
If it was just that, it would have been fine.
“Khaaa!!”
The cold-hearted sword of the Reverse Constellation demonstrated its power.
A sword of sin that was made to rebel against God.
The moment the dagger of the reverse constellation pierced my body, the mana inside my body created a vortex and began twisting every corner of my body.
I couldn’t contain my screams at the grotesque excruciating pain that caused the blood to flow backwards from the torn muscles and tear my blood vessels.

Mana, who has always been a strong ally of mine, turns into an enemy and attacks my organs.
The assassin’s eyes arc like a crescent moon, appreciating my screams as if he had heard a great symphony.
A pair of black eyes of a very vivid hue, revealed from between the hood.
I have never heard of a person with black eyes in this world. Who the hell are you?
I gnashed my teeth at the assassin, but I couldn’t overcome the intense pain, and his body collapsed as if I was attacking Aisha.
“Tyr?!”
Aisha, who belatedly grasped the situation, hurriedly embraced my body and poured out all kinds of magic at the assassin.
However, the moment the ambush went into vain, the assassin put down his sword without any regrets and disappeared with an invisibility cloak.
Rather than chasing after the assassin who had already disappeared without a trace, Aisha chose to pull out the dagger stuck in her back. Fortunately, the puncture was in the back, so there was not much bleeding.
The problem is that the inside is messed up.
Thanks to Aisha’s quick healing magic, her wound healed in an instant. But she couldn’t completely heal the wounds inside.
Of course not. If it could be easily treated with healing magic, it wouldn’t have been called the natural enemy of wizards.
“Cool!”
“Tyr! Tyr!! Are you okay!?”
“Seobang!”
Nemenia came too late and began to heal my wounds with the Holy Law. But she was still incompetent.
It must have been called the Reverse Constellation for nothing. The sword of the black blade inflicts fatal wounds that do not fully demonstrate its effectiveness, let alone magic.
She coughed up blood and wiped Aisha’s teary eyes with her blood-soaked hand.
Because of that, red marks were left on Aisha’s immaculate skin.
I smiled faintly as I looked at Aisha, who had become her tear-stained face.
‘Ah… But I’m glad I did.’
Because I can barely use mana now, this is the extent of the wound. If it was usual, it wouldn’t be strange if she was seriously injured and passed out immediately.
And above all, Aisha is very fortunate that she does not feel this pain. I’m like this, but what if I was Aisha?
Rukhtae… You make artifacts so well. Is this really a replica?
“Aisha… Cool!”
“Yes! Tell me, Tyr!”
“You know I won’t die at this level… Don’t cry.”
During the war, there were many times when he suffered even greater wounds than this. At that time, she said that this was a matter of course for her, and she had even fired at her.
“Huh, ugh…! But still…!!”
Now, even with just a small scratch on my body, I have become a woman who bursts into tears.
His blue eyes, which were always clear and never lost their vigor, were moist and trembling pitifully.
I couldn’t help but want to enjoy it leisurely.
“Let’s leave this to those people and go back to the castle. It hurts…”
It hurt too much for that.
—–
The man named Garharp, escorting the saintess, quickly settled the situation after Count Sow and the Archwitch teleported away.
You could tell at a glance what a seasoned person he is just by seeing him skillfully arranging people in the right places.
He approached me and the saintess, looked down at the blood that Count So had poured out, and spoke in a bitter tone.
“First of all… it looks like the raid was the devil’s real goal.”
“The West! West is going to be all right?!”
“It will be fine. It didn’t look like it was hurt that badly.”
I couldn’t help but cry at that insensitive comment.
How can you say that someone vomited blood and it wasn’t a serious injury? It was the same for Amant and Sir, but are all those with excellent abilities like this?
The saintess must have felt the same emotions as I did. She screamed at him with passion.
“You must have been in so much pain! It can’t be that bad!”
“Candidate Saint. Haven’t you seen many more patients in the holy kingdom?”
“Wow…!”
It is a holy country where people suffering from all kinds of serious diseases gather. As he said, the saintess bit her lips tightly.
“It was an unexpected surprise attack. However, it would be rather fortunate if it ended to the point where you could speak normally with the remaining consciousness.”
Then he added a terrible word.
“If the blade had been pointed at the throat, the irreversible would have happened.”
He nervously trampled the dagger on the floor and broke it. The sword, a symbol of blasphemy, shattered so easily like a parched twig.
He slowly opened his mouth while thinking about something with us standing silently as if nailed to our feet.
“How the hell did he get into the temple?”
“…Yes?”
“Even before the invasion of the Marsh of the Five Elements, the temple was surrounded by a strong barrier against foreign enemies. After the princess came in, the entrance was thoroughly sealed.”
The moment I heard that, a family came to my mind.
‘Ah, ah…!’
From nob le mt l. co m
My whole body started to tremble.
Like that or not, he continued to speak calmly.
“Even an invisibility cloak cannot break through the barrier we have spread.”
“Hey, couldn’t you have penetrated the barrier with the dagger of the Reverse Constellation?”
The saintess looked at me and hurriedly refuted his words. She probably came up with that to draw her own conclusions and be considerate of me.
But the man was staring at the floor with cold eyes, not even looking at me.
“From the first attack, I thought it was strange. If it were me, I’d have made up a bunch of better assassins. But if the raid was just for blindfolding and was meant to prepare a foothold for a more reliable ambush…”
“Brother!!”
The saintess cut her tongue off with a loud voice, but it was as if she had already said everything.
He was scolding me.
You brought the assassin.
It’s as if you put a dagger in Count So’s back.
“It’s not anyone’s fault. So please focus on your future work. And senior… Please rely on me more.”
Before leaving the small temple of Sobaek, he said that with a smile that he tried to suppress the pain.
Now I know. Those words were obviously caring for me. It was his consideration, worried that this ugly senior would hurt his heart again.
“It’s not your fault, senior.”
Suddenly, I remembered what he had said to me. Those warm words that comforted my troubled heart now flew into my heart as a dagger.
It’s my fault. It’s because I’m stupid.
It is because I obeyed the devil’s words without any doubt or resistance.
“Why is it the senior’s fault?”
No, Count So…
If only I had a little more courage and stabbed the devil’s mark. If you hadn’t yielded to the devil’s words. Nothing like this would have happened.
The person who gave me warmth would not have had to vomit blood.
‘Again… My fault.’
From nob le mt l. co m
My heart was broken.
‘I have to make a decision…!’
And I made up my mind alone.
Even if Garatroso collapses, Serien Garatroso won’t collapse!
