[288] 5. All kinds of variables (2)

'Yeah, it was like that then. Because I met Marsha noona and came late… … .'

Then, he suddenly thought that it might be because Amy felt sorry for him. Did her dancing with her sister Rayna hurt her?

Even though he knew it was a trap, he went to Falcoa, thinking about it now, it didn't seem like there wasn't such a part at all.

'no. You're zooming in too much. Dancing with Reina was already in the plan. Amy can't do that.'

Though I thought so, I wasn't really sure.

The reason was simple. Because when he saw Amy dancing with Zion, some unpleasant ripples arose in his mind as well.

Wouldn't there be something different about Amy?

If he had felt the same feelings, he might have followed Zion with even the slightest motive.

Because Amy is such a tender child.

Shirone's steps became faster. Even though she rolled her head to control her emotions, on the contrary, her heart was beating faster than before.

"huh?"

Shirone hurriedly stopped walking and looked back.

After coming down to the basement, the back of my back was strangely creepy. However, there was not a single mouse to be seen on the path he had walked, let alone a sign of anyone.

"Is it because of my mood?"

Shirone stroked his neck and moved slowly.

'Gheuk, no, no, no.'

The man hanging upside down from the ceiling where Shirone had left opened his mouth. It was Spartur Xenoger who was given the special mission to assassinate Shirone.

He was clinging to the ceiling with only ten fingers.

The spider mimicry ability gave the clan the power to overcome gravity.

The villi growing on the fingertips and the strong adhesive oil leaking from the skin were supporting the body weight while causing a chemical reaction.

Of course, it was supported by the taijutsu honed through assassination training, so the lower body was supported only by the strength of the upper body.

Also, the oil leaking from the finger skin will volatilize within 20 seconds of stopping the leak, leaving no trace of his presence.

A near-perfect assassin.

Xenoger lowered his long tongue to the bottom of his chin and swallowed it back.

'It's a pretty good prey. for example… … Like a mosquito.'

But that's because Xenoger continues to shoot very fine living things at Shirone.

It is the basis of an assassin to observe the reaction of the prey and consider countermeasures. You can kill whenever you want. I'm just looking at the liver for a 100% success rate.

'Well, that's right.'

Assassins are those who use circumstances rather than force. That's why it's also a job group that spends an extremely large amount of time alone throughout its life. It was customary to talk to myself because I had to make my own judgment and evaluation on everything.

Xenoger liked his job as an assassin. It's because it's much higher-level than the Hitman who hits and misses on the fly.

Although her body has become so bizarre that it cannot blend into the human world, that is the height of functional beauty pursued by the assassin clan Spathur.

'A little more… … Shall I drive him away?'

Xenoger caught up with his prey by moving along the wall with his ten fingers. Then I pulled a cobweb from his ass and it came down my Shirone's back.

A thin thread clung to the ceiling, propelling Xenogger's body forward. Even a slight breeze would actually shake it, but perfect control was not difficult for the spider clan.

The back of Shirone's head was in front of him. It was at such a distance that his hair would shake when he exhaled. The white nape of her neck, like fish flesh, made me want to bite it.

Xenoger pursed his lips and slowly placed his fingers on Shirone's neck.

'Where should I feel some sensitivity?'

Xenoger's fingers came close to touching the fluff. It was a safe distance to say that it was almost reached.

Shirone turned her head away with a surprised expression.

But all I could see was the scenery of the underground passage. Even the flickering patterns of the torches seemed to be the same.

"What the hell is it?"

It was strange. It might be that I'm sensitive today, but I kept feeling like something was hitting my nerves.

'There's nothing wrong with making it clear.'

Shirone pretended to move slowly, then suddenly expanded her spirit zone.

"… … ."

All kinds of information came through synesthesia.

There were a lot of little things going around everywhere. Probably rats or c*ckroaches as there is a food storage nearby.

"Ugh… … ."

Shirone wiped away the goosebumps on his arm.

In any case, the only things I felt through synesthesia were small objects. After being threatened with assassination for several days, I wondered if something was wrong with my nervous system.

"Whoa, let's go quickly."

As Shirone moved away, a hearty smile appeared on Xenoger's lips, which clung to the ceiling.

'I got caught. Celebrate death.'

The Wizard's Spirit Zone is one of the trickiest abilities for melee assassins. This is because it is not easy to approach those who perceive things through synesthesia by expanding their minds.

But Assassin says.

There is no sense without a blind spot.

The Spirit Zone integrates all information within its area. It was a quality close to a kind of sixth sense, not a precise feeling like sight, hearing, or touch.

Then, what if we become assimilated to a specific object or creature? As a sixth sense that accepts information integrally, you cannot distinguish the difference between the two objects.

The blind spot of that sixth sense.

Just as creatures of the natural world have mastered concealment techniques through evolution, assassins have also developed unique techniques while fighting the Spirit Zone over the ages.

That was the equalization of object assimilation ability.

'Well, that's right.'

Shirone felt Xenoger's presence through the Spirit Zone, but could not tell the difference between the stone wall and Xenoger with only his sixth sense.

Also, this was exactly what Xenoger was aiming for.

The magician's dependence on the Spirit Zone is as great as that of an ordinary person on their eyesight. I even thought that if I couldn't feel it as a spirit zone, it didn't exist.

It was that reason that had stimulated Shirone so far.

As she checked her surroundings with the Spirit Zone, Shirone's alertness was much lower than before.

that's why it dies

Xenoger doesn't kill. Circumstances are killing.

Hitman, who specializes in hit and run, risks his life with a 50% chance, but Assassin doesn't move easily even with a 99% chance. The only time they move is when the target takes the first step into the swamp of death itself.

This was the reason why high-ranking people in power feared one Assassin more than many armies. Once they appeared, it means that their current situation is in the middle of death.

However, the best Assassin is not the best swordsman. This is because equalizing is such a difficult skill that you have to devote your whole life to it to become a master.

but they are strong

If the swordsman fought with equal ability from 1 to 100, the Assassins were those who became invincible on 1 out of 100 and subdued the opponent.

So there is nothing wrong with Shirone. He just believed what he believed. And Xenoger used that blind spot to make the target completely defenseless.

The current Xenoger was invincible.

'Well then, shall we go soon?'

Xenoger climbed the ceiling and landed on the floor without making a sound. Then he pursed his lips and put his fingers in to pretend to pull something out of him.

A thread as hard as wire was pulled out.

That's enough.

'It is true.'

Xenoger's chosen method was the death noose.

Tie the steel wire in the form of a noose, throw it at Shirone, and then pull it, and the face will fall straight like picking grapes.

'Next 7 seconds.'

Xenogur stirred the fluttering thread in the air and in an instant snared it into a noose.

Then, as it flew along the air current, it moved forward and floated like a kite over the top of Shirone's head.

A perfect murder with no sound, no sign, no smell.

'Four seconds ahead. 3 seconds. 2 seconds.'

The noose passed through Shirone's face and came down to her neck.

'Now!'

Xenoger grotesquely tore the corners of his mouth and pulled the thread.

The sharp noose of spider web narrowed the border in an instant and gathered into a size smaller than millet.

"… … ."

Shirone looked back at Xenoger with her butt on the floor.

"What, what? who are you?"

"… … ."

Xenoger was just watching, like someone who had lost the ability to think. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand the current situation.

As soon as the noose was tightened, Shirone suddenly lowered herself and rolled on the floor. Then he looked back and met her eyes.

'what? Where did my calculations go wrong?'

Shirone must die. Because that's the situation.

So there is nothing wrong with yourself. It was clear that there was an unexpected variable.

Shirone gulped and glared at Xenoger.

After checking the surroundings with the spirit zone, I was walking safely, but suddenly, a loud voice, 'It's dangerous!', popped up in my head.

Without even thinking, I rolled across the floor. And when she turned around, a man with a hideous appearance was staring at her.

Xenoger asked in a grim voice.

"how… … Did you avoid it?"

Shirone wrinkled her brow at the incomprehensible words.

'How did you avoid it? yea of course… … .'

Because I heard someone's voice. However, looking at the reaction, it seemed that the other person did not hear it.

Then there was a crack and the sound of breaking glass.

Shirone rummaged through his pockets without taking his eyes off Xenoger. When I took it out, the jewel that Wu Lin said was worth well over 100 million was separated into two pieces.

Xenogur's shoulders trembled. The jewel of Shirone, which he saw with the eyes of an insect, was definitely what he knew.

"?"

There is no possibility that Shirone has that. However, was clear. Otherwise, there is no reason to save his life from his perfect design.

'shit… … Of course.'

According to records, there was a Jaeger family in the western continent 480 years ago.

Then one day, an incident occurred in which people from the main family were assassinated one person a day. No matter how much the security was strengthened, there was no doubt that one body would be found in the morning.

The head of state made every effort to find the culprit, but there was no way to stop the increasing number of victims day by day.

When the number of members of the family fell to less than half, he made an extreme choice.

The mansion was closed.

But that night, another attendant died.

The householder intuited that there was an assassin inside and interrogated the family. However, he was unable to find any suspects in anyone, and as time passed, the number of family members in the original family, which had been 287, decreased to 63.

The family was already ruined.

Everyone's spirits were impoverished and they didn't even talk to each other out of distrust.

The patriarch didn't try anymore.

Whoever dies will just wait. As long as the identity of the culprit could be confirmed, it didn't matter even if the family died.

It was the 286th day since the assassination took place.

There were only two people left in the mansion.

It was the family head and the youngest daughter he loved the most.

"Uh, how could you… … ?"

He couldn't believe the reality in front of him.

he is not an assassin So it was clear that the culprit was the 14-year-old youngest daughter.

"no! I'm not guilty, Dad! I really am not!"

The family head pulled out the sword from his waist.

have to kill No matter how much she loved her daughter, everyone died because of her.

However, the family chief could not kill his daughter.

because he's already dead

The family head, who had been looking down at her youngest daughter, who had turned into a corpse, finally realized and shook her chin.

Finally all the secrets are out.

The sword fell and both knees hit the floor.

"Oh no! It can't be like this! no!"

The head of the household shook his head and screamed.

no one will die anymore except for yourself.

He took a strong drink and headed for the study. Then he sat down at his desk and wrote down the events of 286 days in one letter.

It is said that the fate of the householder has not been confirmed until the end.

Opinions are divided as to whether he left the mansion or whether he was the last one to be assassinated, but in any case, the Jaeger family disappeared from the world.

Two years later, a merchant took over the Jaeger family's mansion at a bargain price.

Because it was the private property of the head of household, he could not touch it, but after the legal period of two years had passed, the kingdom sold it.

When the door to the mansion, which had been sealed for two years, opened wide, the first thing that caught the merchant's eyes were 287 red marbles spread on the floor.

This is the secret story of . It was also an example given by the Curia auction company as a reason why objects are not 100% safe.

The origin story of the actual object is not clearly revealed.

It's just that the name of an object has been handed down from someone, and through that, people just let their imagination run wild.

However, is unique in that it contains actual records.

The merchant who took over the mansion soon noticed what powers the 287 marbles possessed.

If you have it in your possession, you will hear the girl's warning the moment you touch it. It was an alert device that was so nimble that even a super-advanced person with restrained life would have no chance to avoid it.

The merchant sold it at auction and became the richest person on the continent. And 287 objects passed into the hands of the powerful people of each country, and it is estimated that about 82 objects remain today.

'It is true.'

This was the story that Xenoger had heard during his assassination training.

That's why the current situation is even more bizarre.

Shirone could not own something that could not be obtained by anyone other than the highest nobility or royalty of each country.

"That… … where did you get it It doesn't sound like a very expensive life."

Shirone hurriedly stood up and took a fighting stance.

"What are you? What were you trying to do to me?"

Xenoger waved his hand in the air without answering.

As the threads tangled, a skein of white thread that could be seen was wrapped around the wrist. Attaching one end to the ceiling and pulling on it, his body soared at high speed.

Shirone cast teleportation. However, Xenoger's appearance had already completely disappeared from sight.

It was a great master. At least from Shirone's point of view.

Xenoger moved along the wall and chased Shirone.

Anyway, it was a target that could be killed more than 90% with the Hitman method. Above all, there will be no more , so the fact that Shirone will die has not changed.

Shirone couldn't escape.

No matter how he hid it until now, it was suffocating from Xenogor's life.

Moreover, the source of life was not one place. It was said that it was disrupting the spirit zone's synesthesia at a tremendous speed.

'I will die at this rate!'

Shirone gave up running away in a desperate situation. He instead lowered his fists and unleashed his berserk with all his might.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

The walls of the basement shook and dust fell.

"Kekeke! It's magic, magic."

There is no occupational group in the world that looks down on wizards, but the Assassination Clan Spathur had a manual to deal with every situation.

When Xenoger pushed his lips out, a steel wire tangled in spider webs popped out. The steel wire that penetrated the width of the beam pierced Shirone's shoulder.

"Keugh!"

Shirone hurriedly pulled out the thread and rolled on the floor. It wasn't a fatal wound, but with this blow, I clearly realized the difference in his skills.

Expansion-type defense magic such as wide-breadth boasts a wide range of defense, but is weak against local penetration.

A skilled person at a level that sees through magic and responds to it as soon as he sees it. He probably far exceeds Shirone's speed of thinking.

Xenoger, who had stayed out of Shirone's line of sight, suddenly fell down. It was the perfect spider to land with both hands on the ground.

Xenoger's tongue came out long and licked his entire face.

"Kiki, good response. I aimed for the heart, but I dodged it. A kid like you is my taste. I want to tie it up with a spider web and give it a lot of cuteness, but… … ."

Shirone trembled at the chilling feeling.

"Because this one is also busy."

As Xenoger disappeared from sight faster than before, Shirone fell into a state of inability to judge.

Wizards can produce powerful power that transcends human common sense, but it is true that it is difficult to deal with those who have raised their physical abilities to the limit if it is limited to interpersonal combat.

Xenoger was a master who had never been seen before, and it was a mistake to think of responding from the beginning.

Shirone completely turned around and deployed teleportation.

If it was impossible to escape and difficult to deal with, the only option left was to hide and buy time.

Flashes of light bounced off the walls and entered the pantry. The space was huge enough for hundreds of royal family members to eat, and the food was divided into compartments.

Shirone leaned back and hid in the place where the milk bags were piled up like a castle wall. He hadn't cast any spells in particularly long, but he was already out of breath.

'Where is the place to target me? ceiling? behind the turret? Or the other side?'

Shirone moved her eyes and tried to find Xenoger's traces.

But in reality, Xenoger was stuck in the ceiling of the corner of the warehouse, completely different from Shirone's expectations.

'Kikiki, you fool. To think common sense would work for someone with mimicry skills.'

Xenoger's eight eyes accurately captured Shirone.

@

Borrowing the power of the Geumgang Armed Forces, Zeon's combat power was comparable to that of a public figure's swordsman. Without even time to cast teleportation, Amy was attacking with sharp attacks.

Seeing Amy with a pale face, Ji-on felt relieved. Armand, which is evaluated as an S-class object even among manufacturers, truly deserved its value.

Effort doesn't suit royalty. Of course, the same goes for talent. The reason why the royal family is noble is that bloodline, and that bloodline is enough to buy effort and talent.

"Still, it holds up quite well."

I certainly didn't expect the battle to last this long. I thought he was a weak wizard, but his movements were nimble like a swordsman.

"Hey, did you mean that you prepared thoroughly from a young age? If so, it's even more sad. To be beaten by me who didn't even learn swordsmanship, let alone magic."

"Stop talking nonsense! I will never lose to a child who only relies on weapons like you!"

Amy gritted her teeth and ran towards Zion.

I was so upset that I was in tears. It was a result of 10 years of hard work. A human who had never suffered in his entire life could not defeat himself with just one demonic sword.

Amy used the Schema's ability to the maximum to unleash a distraction tactic. However, she changed Armando Gion's constitution accordingly.

-Enemy object acceleration change detection. Removal of retinal afterimages. Maximize visual perception.

The reason why afterimages occur is because the human brain remembers things for one tenth of a second when it sees them.

However, when Armand removed the retinal afterimage, Amy's movements came in as clearly as if they were cut off.

Ji-on stood for a while and then suddenly flew away. She grazed Amy's collar as the sword mounted on her gauntlet slashed through space.

Zion is not a schema user. However, Keumgang Armed Forces' body coordination ability reproduced the effect of the schema as it was.

'no. I can never admit something like this!'

Amy bit her lip.

Avoiding Zeon's gaze requires speed that exceeds his cognitive abilities. But his own schema did not reach that level.

'then… … .'

Amy entered the Spirit Zone.

In a confined space, even against an agile warrior equipped with a short-range weapon, he didn't know how well magic would work, but if the straight attack method didn't work, it was a wrong situation to survive.

'Eat this!'

Amy spread fireballs in all directions. Instead of targeting, it was a tactic of convincing and limiting movement.

'Sheesh! plaguy.'

Zion gave up the charge and retreated.

There are numerous objects in the gallery. As long as Armand was there, the other things didn't matter, but the problem was that the placenta belonged to Uorin.

'I have to save the object for now.'

After reading Ji-on's emotions, Armand stretched out his tentacles in all directions.

As the tentacles clung to the wall, Zeon's body floated.

As the tension worked, Zeon's body flew like a flying insect. As he swung his sword at great speed, the fireball split in two.

Amy snorted.

'Hmph, do you think you can stop that?'

Even if the form changes, the heat does not disappear.

As expected, as the flames hit Ji-on, a combustion reaction took place in Armand's organic matter.

However, the charcoal-like epidermis fell off and was filled with new organic matter.

Self-existence is the strength of living things. The reason was S-class was because it possessed the strengths of both metal and living things.

Zion, who blocked the fireball, looked down at Amy while standing in the air.

"You have a surprisingly hot personality. But I won't be able to install any more."

Amy stepped back and put the fire mist around her. She wouldn't be able to turn the tide in particular, but there was nothing like heat to block the creature's approach.

"Hmph, you're very luminous."

Amy knew too. It was miserable that all I had to do was improvise.

However, the opponent's movements were unpredictable, and even her sniper mode, her specialty, was impossible in a small space.

But the reason I don't give up is because I saw a glimmer of hope. The reason is unknown, but Ji-on clearly seemed to hate the destruction of things in the room.

'It doesn't look very expensive.'

It was questionable, but it was the only gap in the current situation. As an experiment, Amy fired her fire strike openly at her display case.

As expected, Ji-on threw herself. A tentacle extending from over his shoulder blocked the path of Fire Strike.

A popping sound erupted, burning the tips of the tentacles.

Amy, who was thinking of cutting off the tentacles, clicked her tongue at the durability that was stronger than she thought.

But her magic had only just begun. She fired fire strikes all around her as she rotated the target-type spirit zone.

Zion swung his tentacles and blocked them one after another, but Armand's durability also had a limit.

'joy! Then I just need to catch the wizard!'

A tentacle pressed down on the nape of Amy's neck and pushed out. As he hit the back of his head against the wall, his mind shook for a moment, but he activated his red eyes and immediately reset it.

"Keugh, I can only stop it with something like this… … ."

At that moment, a sharp needle protruded from the tentacle and pierced his throat. Then, as the Spirit Zone disappeared, his magic was broken.

Zion heard Armand's voice and came down to the floor.

-user pituitary hormone extraction. Combination. Manufacture of nerve-stabilizing substances. complete. Injection.

The human body is like a huge chemical factory. Armand extracted the hormones in Zeon's body and manufactured its own nerve-stabilizing substance.

Amy couldn't contain her drowsy mind.

'damn… … ! What kind of swords do you have?'

I tried to activate the red face, but I couldn't concentrate to form a spirit zone in the endless flow of tranquilizers. Rather, more chemicals flooded in and poisoned the liver.

"Huh, as long as you distract the wizard, it's over. Both you and Shirone. What the hell is magic so arrogant about?"

Amy took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling. It was difficult to lower her gaze as her eyes rolled back on their own.

"It must be hard, but why don't you just pass out? In the meantime, play with your body. Of course, don't expect to wake up with limbs intact."

"Kuh! Keugh… … !"

Amy resisted desperately.

"ha ha ha! It's really a spectacle to struggle. Do you understand now? What will happen if you touch the royal family?"

Amy squeezed out a bit of strength to activate her red eyes.

"Is it really so?"

Zion snorted. He knew he couldn't get into the Spirit Zone anyway.

But in the next moment, something amazing happened. A lump of flame burned in Amy's hand.

Before Ji-on could organize her thoughts, Amy fired a spark at the shelf.

"shit! Stop it!"

As Zeon's consciousness focused on the ledge, Armand withdrew his tentacles and threw the master's body backwards.

Just before the display case exploded, Ji-on managed to block the way. The moment I held my breath in preparation for the heat, the fireball vanished in vain.

"What, what?"

It was a jack-o'-lantern's crappy spark. Since the spirit has its own spirit zone, it could be cast regardless of Amy's mental state.

After being freed from the tentacles, Amy reset her mind to red eyes. Her sedatives were so overpowered that she vomited, but she managed to get into the Spirit Zone.

Equipped with a fireball of conversion, Amy waved her hand as she jumped through the door. The organically entangled door shattered as a powerful fireball hit.

By the time Ji-on realized that he had been tricked, the second door was already bursting through.

"Oh, Mr.… … !"

Ji-on questioned the prickly Armand.

"What have you been doing? You missed it!"

It was the typical appearance of an inexperienced user.

Armand can copy the user's brain to promote intelligence, but strictly speaking, it was just a sword symbiotic with its master. It is not possible to make judgments on behalf of a situation.

Therefore, swearing at Armand only meant cursing at his own stupid head.

"You have to chase it. let's go."

As if in response to Ji-on's words, numerous tentacles came out from the Geumgang Armament and stuck into the wall. Ji-on rose to the surface with the power of the tentacles and was pushed forward as if on a swing.

@

Reina stopped walking and pointed her ear in the direction of the sound. The Sound of Silence's ability detected a huge vibration echoing underground.

The sound passing through the walls was clearly subtle. However, the fact that the sound could be heard from the castle, which boasted the highest durability in the kingdom, meant that an enormous shock had occurred at the epicenter.

'It's underground!'

Reina jumped onto the stairs in front of her.

Power enough to shake a building is impossible even with the sword of a dizzying swordsman. It was evident that Shirone had cast magic.

The moment I stepped into the basement, I heard someone running at the end of the hallway. Examining the rhythm of the footsteps, it was the movement of an extremely excited person.

Reina clung to the wall, wary of the approaching opponent. He saw a man running through the darkness.

Reina, who spotted Amy, hurriedly blocked the way.

"Amy!"

"Aww! It's a surprise! sister?"

"what? Why are you here?"

"Run for now!"

As if Amy didn't have time to explain, she grabbed Reina's arm and ran. Then Reina also activated her schema and matched her speed with her Amy.

bang! bang!

The sound of a heavy impact hitting the wall was transmitted.

Reina unlocked the Sound of Silence. Listening to the vibration in this state was about to blow out the eardrum.

"what? Are monsters following you?"

Amy sighed. She wants to tell the absurd story of her experience, but her first priority is to find Shirone.

"I'll tell you later. What about Shirone?"

"This way. I heard a noise over there."

The two entered the fork in the road on the left and looked at the warehouse waiting for them at the end of the single road. On the information board that came down from the ceiling, the phrase "food storage" was written.

Upon entering, the inside was a mess with traces of battle.

The air was opaque, with flour pouring down and parts of it releasing like smoke. Vegetables were cut into pieces, as if they were left over from slicing, and were dressed in flour. Amy thought it was a relief that this wasn't a meat store.

"Where is Shirone?"

As Amy looked to the left and right and moved on, Reina spread her arms to block her.

"Dangerous. Don't move."

Stunned, Amy looked where Reina was staring. Numerous cobwebs stretched through the flour smoke.

"This… … !"

When I came to my senses, I looked back and saw that there were spider webs everywhere. It was a dreary sight, like a sealed warehouse for 100 years.

"Why is there a spider web in a place like this? It looks like a huge spider too."

"be careful. I have something."

Reina slowly moved through the webs, leaving Amy behind.

At that moment, a faint voice was heard from the other side where the sacks were piled up.

"… … Hit it."

Reina and Amy blew themselves off at the same time and headed there.

Shirone was caught upside down in a giant spider's web. His clothes were tattered here and there, and there were numerous stab wounds all over his body.

Amy had tears in her eyes.

"Shirone!"

"Run away… … . this guy… … incredibly strong… … ."

"wait! I'll save you now!"

Amy ran right away.

Just thinking about the sight of a stranger caught in a spider's web gave me chills, but the fact that the target was Shirone was shocking horror.

After examining the web for a while, she grabbed it with her hands and tore it when she couldn't find a way. The cold pain was intense. When I removed her hand and examined it, I saw that her palm had been cut sharply.

"What kind of spider web is this?"

Shirone shouted with all her might.

"Amy! Run away!"

At that moment, Reina hugged Amy by the waist and threw herself. The shrill wind was a sound wave that she could never hear except for Reina's hearing.

Amy, who fell to the floor, looked back at Reina, not knowing why. But her gaze was fixed somewhere in the dark.

"Geuk, that's quite right."

Xenoger, who was hanging upside down by Shirone's side, came down.

Amy and Rayna were taken aback by the man's grotesque appearance. I couldn't see it closely because the torch was far away, but there were definitely several pupils.

"When a string moves, it vibrates. If you have the ability to hear that vibration, you certainly can't kill it with a two-dimensional cut. Yes, it is."

Amy took a step forward and shouted.

"What have you done to Shirone! Release me quickly!"

Xenoger turned his head at eye level with Shirone, who was hanging upside down.

"Oh, this? I got it for now, Kiki. You can tell by touching it, but it is quite sharp. If you struggle, your whole body will be cut to pieces. That's why I can't even lift one of her fingertips."

"this… … !"

Just as Amy was about to vent her anger, Xenoger said.

"Okay, here's the problem. Then, when did the scars on Shirone's body appear? 1, before being caught in a spider's web. Number 2, after being caught in a spider web."

Amy didn't know why that was important in the current situation.

However, as he pondered Xenogor's words, his face grew red. If the answer was the latter, he was going to twist Xenoger's neck no matter what.

"You will never forgive me."

When Amy was furious, Zenoger found comfort. In fact, number two was his favorite game. If you place it on top of a spider's web and injure it little by little, the prey can move or not.

Unfortunately, the correct answer was number 1.

Shirone's sense of recognizing the existence of the assassin was truly amazing even to Jenoger. After 10 minutes of tracking, I was just about to be caught in a spider's web.

I heard Ji-on's voice from the entrance of the warehouse.

"What, is it not over yet?"

Amy looked back with a bewildered look. Zion, her tentacles hanging down like the legs of her octopus, was arrogantly looking down at her with her hands behind her back.

Amy and Rayna immediately turned their backs.

Shirone is captured by the assassin and even blocked from retreating. The whole situation was working against me.

However, Ji-on did not pay attention to the two women.

It was unexpected that Reina chased this far, but it was a rat in a poison anyway. She was more interested in Shirone, who was caught in her web rather than him.

Landing on the ground, Xenoger bowed and saluted.

"Are you here, Prince? I was just about to finish it."

"finish? It's way past the promised time. How did this happen?"

"sorry."

Xenoger made no excuses. No matter how excellent an assassin he is, he can only give one reprieve to those who possess , but Spatour's pride comes only from his skills.

Ji-on waved his hand as if he was annoyed.

"Okay, let's get this done quickly. Cut Shirone's head."

Xenoger immediately lowered his head and climbed onto the web that was tied to Shirone. But when I was about to finish the work, there was someone who came to mind.

"Is one person still invisible?"

I was talking about Arius.

But Zion didn't care.

The flicker magic, the exclusive patent of the Scale Wizard, can be said to be short-distance space movement that occurs from extreme space-time distortion.

Even if they were imprisoned, if they didn't have a magic control device, they would move to the other side in an instant.

Therefore, time and space were not so important to Arius. He was probably looking for an opportunity to appear at some coordinate in time and space by now.

"I will be waiting. Now, quickly separate Shirone's head from her body."

"All right."

Amy shouted, adopting a fighting stance.

"You are laughing! Who do you think would let that happen?"

Ji-on finally looked back at the women and spewed out his life. Tentacles rose over his shoulders, ready to poke out like witch's claws.

Even in her distant consciousness, Shirone sensed that the armor surrounding Zeon's body was Armand's reality.

I thought that if I stayed like this, everyone would die, so I struggled and shouted, not caring about the fact that my flesh was being torn.

"Run away! Take Raina sister and Amy and run away!"

Amy didn't even listen with the back of her ear.

What's the use of running away if Shirone dies? For now, I had no choice but to settle with Zeon.

Reina seemed to have come to the same conclusion, so she lengthened her stride and glared at Zeon.

Auguste is a family that worships swords. Although he did not carry his weapon, the skills he had honed since childhood were never easy.

Amy and Reina split left and right and attacked Zeon with pincers. Unexpectedly, Armand's reaction weakened noticeably.

No matter how symbiote it is, all judgments are made by Zeon. However, since he had no combat experience, he could not properly respond to the diversionary action, and as such, Armand's tentacles could not find the exact point of impact.

Amy immediately noticed the change in her partner.

'You look at me funny! I'll pay you back properly!'

Ji-on gritted his teeth in an unexpected situation. Armand was blocking the visible magic with his tentacles, but Reina, who was invisible, was concerned.

"damn! These girls!"

Zeon retreated as far as he could and blocked the door. If you can subdue your opponent anyway, you should at least block the escape route.

But that was exactly what the two of them were aiming for.

Reina took a long detour through the warehouse and jumped on the sack.

"It's here!"

Any other knight would not have looked back at Reina's voice. It's a fact that even a child knows who is more dangerous between Reina who fights with her bare hands and Amy who uses her magic.

However, Zeon looked back with a sense of urgency, and Amy cast a fire strike aiming at the blind spot.

'finished!'

The moment Amy thought so, her body was suddenly seized by a strange power and flew away. She struggled to get out of her inertia, but it was beyond her control.

In the middle of the flight, it was only when I looked back at Reina that I realized what had happened.

The skein that flew like a cannon came loose and turned into a spider's web and attacked Reina. Her body clung to the wall near the ceiling with cobwebs.

The moment I checked that far, Amy felt a strong pain in her back as she was slammed into the wall.

I looked down at the cobwebs that were holding me down. Even if she tried to break it by force, it was too tough.

If the thing holding Shirone was a steel wire as sharp as a blade, it was like sticky slime.

Reina and Amy struggled with all their might, but they weren't Xenogers to be left alone.

Xenoger inflated his upper body like a balloon and spewed out cobweb beads from his mouth.

A series of spider webs stretched out at the mid-point and continued to cover Reina and Amy.

"Aww!"

Each time the spider's web adhered to it, the restraining force became stronger.

As more than five sheets stuck together, Amy was eventually immobilized. It was the same for Reina, who was on the wall opposite her.

"Cheuk, wait too long. Are you all right, Prince?"

Only then did Jion let go of the hour and come down to the floor. I was very satisfied to see the three people who looked like flying flies, unable to even struggle and restrained.
