133. young shark
Doyoon watched her quietly.
“You know I gave up a lot, right? 20,000 in 10 years, in effect, I would be your slave.”
It really was.
A lump sum of 10,000 would be her entire fortune, and 20,000 was a sum of money that even the warrior Elisabeth could not earn in 10 years.
Under the mediation of the system, expedients are impossible, as life is sacrificed.
It meant that instead of receiving Luna, he would mortgage his life.
“That bitch is a monster. I will make her the strongest alliance in 30 years.”
There was surprisingly not the slightest hint of madness on Elisabeth’s face when she spoke of Luna. It was infinitely serious.
It was like seeing the hero Elizabeth, who had raised 100 assassins before she went crazy and contributed to the union.
“You don’t like it? Change to 30,000 in 20 years. No further negotiations. No refusal. Sign it.”
She really wanted Luna with all her heart.
However, Doyoon’s expression did not change from the beginning.
No, rather, a sharpened blade was hidden behind his expressionless expression.
Do-yoon touched the contract to burn it again.
However, a black dagger flew into the back of his hand.
Wedge!
Pak!
The dagger was stuck between Doyoon’s fingers on the table. If he hadn’t avoided it, the back of his hand would have been pierced.
“You fucking stupid bastard.”
With her face distorted like a crazy bitch, she muttered bloodily.
“Does it look like a dick to me because I did it once? After taking a prank raid once, do you think you can stab your throat again, stab your stomach, and stab your pussy? yes?”
“…”
“A bastard who has never fought an assassin… can you see anything? It sucks that I’m being looked at like this too, but I’m doing this because I fucking covet that kid. It’s the last one. burn it again Then I’ll steal the slave’s seal in my own way.”
Doyoon raised his chin for a moment and looked at the sky at an angle.
‘You’re a kid who’s never fought an assassin before…’
Come to think of it, has it been a while since you fought?
It was time to sharpen the senses of the great assassin in preparation for the 40-year-old god of death in the castle of demons.
If she had risen to the top of the Hero as an assassin…
“It won’t be bad with practice.”
Doyoon muttered very quietly.
Upon hearing this, Elisabeth’s temples became bloody. The moment when each other grasped the sword.
“…”
“…”
Elizabeth quietly rose from her seat.
Without saying a word, she turned and walked away. Doyoon also looked at her quietly.
Anyway, in this place where Dokgo Moo-yeong is, neither she nor Do-yoon can share life and death.
It’s different from the madness of the march, and it’s hard to believe that she’s a crazy woman.
Elisabeth, a madwoman who went mad after losing the assassination squad she raised, who was like her family. She found hope in a new life through Luna.
Now she was not a madwoman, but a warrior and assassin Elizabeth.
Because of this, she judged soberly.
‘I have to step back.’
If the swordsman and the assassin are of equal level, the assassin is pushed back by more than two moves in a head-to-head confrontation.
Although it was a joke, the opponent had already blocked his surprise attack once. If it was a head-to-head confrontation, I might really lose.
After stepping back, in the way of an assassin. Treat it as a surprise.
Elizabeth, who had a desperate wish. She awoke from madness and looked at the war with cold eyes.
Tboob. Tboob.
Doyoon sat still and watched her go out.
‘…Unexpected.’
Due to her unexpectedly cold judgment, she couldn’t find a justification for killing her. The turn of the war passed to her.
However, it doesn’t matter if the opponent chooses to fight as an assassin.
It is Do-yoon who has killed more assassins than anyone else on the continent. He was still confident.
In the end, if only a justification is given, if she gives priority. I just killed it then.
Tboob. Tboob.
“…”
“…”
So the two walked away without a word.
They know each other intends to kill each other. Now there is only war left.
The wind blew. It was quite cold. The trees swayed.
wheein-
I couldn’t hear the common bird or insect sounds. The only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind. It was a silence as if the trees were whispering as a metaphor for death.
The two exchanged unspoken declarations of war. A war has begun between the hero Elisabeth and the apostle Doyun.
and.
“…”
The golden eyes that watched it in the dark shone.
+++
Day 1 of the war.
‘Kill within 4 days.’
Do-yoon prepared for the battle diligently.
The opponent is a warrior. Unless you’re someone who would have been around the time of Enoch of the past or the Lion King of the present day, you could never kill him without justification. Otherwise, they would be thoroughly isolated politically.
Even for Dokgo Moo-yeong, the second-in-command of the coalition, this was impossible.
But the same goes for Elizabeth. If she kills Do-yoon and runs away, she will turn the entire union into an enemy.
But she chose to go first. It must mean that he was desperate enough to bet his life on Luna.
‘First of all, get out of the guild house.
He bought a small mansion on the outskirts of the capital. Guild members shouldn’t get caught up in it.
After that, video recording magic and artifacts were plastered throughout the mansion. It was to leave evidence that he had been preempted.
The first day passed like that, and it became night.
A dark office in a new mansion. When he entered the place, he heard the sound of rotten wood squealing under Doyoon’s feet.
The mansion, which had been uninhabited for a long time, was cold. Of course, Doyoon didn’t care, and he didn’t heat the room. This was just a place to become a battlefield.
The moon in the sky was a crescent moon. Sitting on a chair by the window where the soft moonlight streamed down, Doyoon leaned against the chair. I closed my eyes.
he muttered softly.
“Luna.”
When I opened my eyes, she was in front of me.
“Starting today, don’t go to Elizabeth.”
Since she is greedy for Luna, she doesn’t know what to do.
Of course, since the purpose is Luna, there will be no direct harm, but the opponent is a crazy bitch. It’s something you never know.
“…”
But Luna didn’t answer.
Doyoon could understand the meaning of silence. his eyes twitched.
“…Luna?”
“no.”
Doyoon, as always, was expressionless hiding his emotions.
But his eyes were shaking like an earthquake. My heart was pounding.
‘…what?’
I didn’t understand her answer.
Is it a betrayal? Are you by Elizabeth’s side? already?
‘…Should I kill him?’
The existence in front of my eyes is the seed of a monster.
If she harms the coalition, if she gets out of control. If you see unexpected behavior.
must be killed And now is the time.
“…”
However, Doyoon’s hand did not move readily.
“…okay.”
he said weakly.
It was a voice that was more pitiful than ever, not like Doyoon.
Luna, no, the Shinigami’s daughter behaves contrary to his expectations.
must be killed now Saving lives is a really stupid decision.
But I didn’t want to kill him. I didn’t want to believe that I was betrayed.
The thought that she had betrayed him made his heart, which he thought dull, agonize over the loss.
Even though there is no reason for that, even though it’s been a few months since I met. Even though they knew nothing about each other.
It was strange.
‘It just… seems to want to learn more.’
At this moment, he showed a dull appearance rather than a cold-hearted commander.
Like an idiot who only looks at one girl. It was as if he believed in that child unconditionally and would give him his liver and gallbladder.
It looked like a fool.
“…”
When Doyoon closed and opened her eyes, Luna was not there.
Doyoon sat quietly in the chair and closed his eyes.
‘…kill.’
No matter what, I had a reason to kill Elizabeth.
+++
Day 2.
With the help of Tiamat, Doyoon put various debuff magic and barriers around the mansion to prevent escaping.
Do-yoon would win even if they just bumped into each other, but after the death, he was the one who did his best every time he faced an assassin.
And this time, the opponent had to be killed without missing anything.
At night, he entered the office again.
The mansion was still cold. It was colder than yesterday. The chill that came in through the cracks in the window chilled his skin.
The night sky was full of clouds. Only a thin crescent moon floated alone among the clouds. The moon looked miserable today.
Doyoon leaned against the chair. I closed my eyes.
after a while When I opened my dry eyes, Luna was half-exposed in the moonlight.
“What did you learn today?”
Until the day of the decisive battle, we must listen to Elizabeth’s trends.
He had doubts that Luna might be deceiving him… but he soon put his thoughts aside. It was only complicated in my head.
“Use of the fusion of twin swordsmanship and shadow magic.”
“…okay.”
Doyoon’s left hand rested on the handle of the chair.
That was all the conversation between the two of them. It was the same as always.
However, unlike always, Doyoon was wary of Luna. Should I kill her? I was in constant conflict.
Even in his dream, Luna who got out of his control attacked Doyoon. Luna in the dream was strong enough to be compared to the Shinigami.
‘Come to think of it… How much is Luna’s inaction now? I wonder if I have grown a lot.’
Probably already stronger than Sophie. How many moves can you survive against Ray?
He turned his thoughts elsewhere. It was a pitiful struggle.
“…”
Doyoon closed his eyes tightly to shake off his thoughts. When I opened my eyes, Luna was not there.
He sat in the chair and looked at Luna for a long time.
+++
Day 3.
Doyun did image training all day long. The opponents were the assassins who had targeted him in his previous life. There were also deaths.
Strangely, Luna’s image kept projecting onto the Shinigami during training.
Doyoon’s mind became more and more sensitive. He still wondered if he should kill Luna.
“Whoa…”
He sat in the same chair today. A heavy exhalation came out.
The mansion grew colder and colder. The chill of the mansion, devoid of human warmth, seeped into his bones. Doyoon shuddered in the cold.
He closed and opened his tired eyes. Luna was there.
“What did you learn today?”
“How to Assassinate the Many.”
“…okay.”
Doyoon’s left hand rested on the handle of the chair.
He still couldn’t fathom Luna’s will.
However, the kindness she felt towards herself from Luna was still the same. At least it soothed Doyoon’s spirit, which was gradually building me up.
No, maybe even that is acting or an illusion.
“…”
Doyoon closed and opened his eyes. Luna was not in front of her.
The crescent moon shed tears and gently wet Doyoon.
+++
Day 4.
It is the night of the showdown.
According to the calculation, Elizabeth will definitely attack today.
There was blood in Doyoon’s eyes. It was because he was alert to the assassin and kept worrying about Luna.
His mind was weary.
A chair under the lonely moonlight. cold chill. I opened my eyes. Luna was there.
“What did you learn today?”
“I killed Elizabeth.”
“…”
Doyoon’s left hand rested on the handle of the sword.
