11 – Boyhood ~Protect the guest~

“…!”
How much time has passed?
Retrieves the bridge that blocked memorization and measures the time in his head.
I wanted to run away from the garden as much as possible, but it wasn’t easy to get rid of the four assassins by myself.
Even I’m not alone and I have to fight while protecting Se-hee, so the level of difficulty has increased even more.
The good news is that the assassins who were worried about the commotion didn’t actively attack.
Thanks to that, I still haven’t suffered a single injury.
If you focus on avoiding and get out of the garden, you will have a chance to counterattack…… !
{How pathetic. Can’t handle a kid.}
Oh wait.
{I was going to watch it, but I can’t help it.}
No flags here.
At the same time, I felt an eerie sensation in the back of my neck.
──!
My body moved before my head could decide.
Activates the body by raising the aura to the limit.
At the same time, spur your feet out of place.
“Whoa.”
“Tsk.”
Ignoring the unpleasant feeling at the back of my neck, I look at the person in front of me.
A different type of outfit from the previous Assassins.
A hideous dagger held in both hands.
Lastly, a large scar across one eye.
It was an outward appearance that could tell that he was the superior of the assassins he dealt with earlier.
“I never thought I would avoid that.”
“Are you the captain?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“Are you answering quite obediently?”
“Hmph. It’s ridiculous to use energy against a kid and hide it.”
I see.
He’s a kid with some talent, but it seems like he’s always judged as a kid.
It is a very good sign that the enemy is off guard.
According to his expectations, I exchanged words while acting out the sloppy side.
“What’s the purpose of targeting us?”
“We are not specifically targeting you. What we are aiming for is the princess in your arms.”
As expected.
Since it was a fact that he had expected, he did not show much agitation at the words of the assassin boss.
However, Sae-hee in his arms seemed different, as soon as he heard his words, he flinched and reacted with fear.
I patted her on the back a few times to help her relax and she twisted and lifted her head.
{… You.}
{It’s okay. Don’t worry.}
Looking at us exchanging a small conversation, he smiled and turned his dagger once.
“You’re too busy licking each other. No cat.”
“Well, you’ll have to try to figure out if it’s a cat or a lion.”
“Well, it’s no different than being a baby.”
The situation was the worst anyone could see.
There are four assassins in the front, led by the assassin boss.
The escape route is blocked by an assassin who took a detour.
‘Do I have to endure against a total of 5 assassins?’
It’s a headache.
It’s a relief if you can hold on. Considering the difference in level, there’s nothing to say even if you’re killed.
‘It’s not time to save energy.’
After making a quick decision, I immediately took off the mask and put it on Saehee in my arms.
“What’s up?”
“It’s a talisman. I’m wearing it.”
As soon as he takes off his mask, an aura gushes out from his entire body.
“It was a sealed ball…!”
Perhaps even the leader sensed the aura running rampant inside his body, his relaxed expression disappeared and he quickly hardened his expression.
“Go.”
“Kill!”
At the same time, me and the assassins were fired.
Turn your body around to avoid the memorization that flew in first, then raise your foot to block the dagger that flies after you.
Immediately, kick the stomach of an assassin who came close to blow it away, and spur the ground to evade the dagger’s trajectory aiming for the head.
“This is…!”
“Kyaaah!”
The assassin, whose composure was shaken by the sight of his colleague’s beating, gave out a short burst of energy and stabbed the dagger, and the aura-filled foot crushed the dagger as it was.
“What!? Auror user?”
And the boss of the Assassin is very embarrassed to see it.
As the irregularly shimmering aura wraps around his feet, revealing his presence, the assassins surrounding me hesitate and step back.
“Anything! If so, it’s a kid anyway! Aim for the target!”
And the assassins’ movements changed at the words of the assassin boss.
Up until now, it was a moderately fluttering movement, but this time, it is a movement that shows the intention to kill the opponent with sincerity.
Some use auras to speed things up.
Some people use magic to hide their presence.
Another uses an assassin’s unique skill to swing a dagger in a trajectory that the eye cannot follow.
I gritted my teeth and shook my head quickly as I saw them start to use their inner energy together.
‘I can’t avoid seeing everything!’
As I watched the assassins disappear in an instant, I reflexively closed my eyes and raised my senses.
-Brother, bear this in mind. Illusion is something that exists and does not exist. It is the art of transforming what is not into what is. Don’t rely on what you see.
At the same time, recalling what the instructor on the side told me, I drew an instinctive style, sensing a killing spree that made my skin tingle.
“Die monster!”
Sissy hiss—
At the same time, countless daggers with skills rushed at me.
‘Calm down. Reality is few. Filter out the fantasy and attack the reality!’
“Whoa…”
Bang-! Ta-t-t-t-t-tang——!
The assassin’s face is shocked as he boldly ignores the fantasy dagger and picks only the real thing to counter it.
“Muh…! Uh, how…!”
“I can see everything, you idiot!”
Kwaang—!
“Kuuk!”
The assassin who was using the skill was blown away, followed by a dagger aiming at Sehee, and the assassin who raised the aura was kept in check.
There was no change in expression, but the assassin, whose eyes were trembling violently, seemed to feel uneasy about the brief confrontation and immediately rushed at me with gritting teeth.
“Wait! Don’t just jump in…!”
The boss, who belatedly noticed the suspiciousness, dissuades him, but the assassin is already within range.
‘I didn’t expect to show off my skills here….’
It’s the first skill I learned after using my main force as my martial art.
Gakbeop, which is the basis of the Yeon Family Kwonbeop.
“Dragon Castle Pavilion—!”
At the same time, a golden dragon rose from under the attacking assassin.
“What…!?”
Kwaang—!
“Hey!”
“Damn it!”
When two assassins fall, the leader of the assassins senses the crisis and steps forward.
“Looks like you’re good enough to shout!”
A shadow rose from his steps and began to hide the new model.
“But that’s all luck, kid.”
Slowly—
With the leader’s words, the new model completely disappeared, and only the figure of the assassin blocking the retreat was visible in the garden.
‘The boss will definitely be looking for my gap. There’s a guy who hid his presence using magic earlier, so he might take a joint attack.’
It would be better to deal with even one enemy than to pay attention to the surroundings and stay still.
I moved my feet while being wary of the assassins hiding their presence, and ran toward the retreat.
“My dear! What are you thinking!”
“Let’s get rid of him and get out of the garden! The escorts will come after you go outside!”
Saying that, I bowed my head to Sehee.
Se-hee, who looked surprised at the muttered words, made a determined expression after a while and nodded.
“Okay! Then let’s try it!”
After a short conversation, I sprinted toward the exit at full speed, and the assassin at the exit, who had been guarding me, began to recite a spell.
“Ice Wall!”
That’s right—
After the assassin’s spell ended, a large wall of ice rose as if to block the exit.
From nob le mt l dot com
Did you choose defense over attack?
I was a little taken aback, but my steps were unstoppable.
As soon as I reached the exit, I kicked the ice wall behind the assassin who was in a defensive position.
“What!?”
Leaving behind the startled assassin’s voice, he puts an aura on his feet and climbs the ice wall.
At the same time, the air shimmers and an assassin, who had been hiding his presence, shoots poisoned saliva.
“Watch out dear!”
“Shut up! Bite your tongue!”
Holding Se-hee, who warned her, in her arms, she spurred the ice wall and jumped higher and higher.
The poison needle that had been shot this way pierced the ice wall and leaped once again using the firmly fixed object as a support.
As I approached the end of the wall and began to glimpse beyond the garden, I whispered to Sehee in my arms.
“Roll your body round!”
“Okay!”
“Good!”
“But what the heck…Ugh…!?”
Immediately after her, as her Sae-hee’s body curled up, I threw her away without hesitation.
The voice of Se-hee disappears leaving an afterimage after the aura-loaded throw.
“I won’t let you go like this!”
On the other hand, the boss who was looking at it released his stealth and tried to memorize it quickly, but he couldn’t reach the flying Se-hee and instead got stuck in my outstretched arm.
“You bastard! How dare you steal the princess!”
“What? I can’t hear you’re a scumbag who couldn’t kill a princess from a kid?”
After falling off the ice wall and landing on the floor, I let out a sneer as I pulled out the memory stuck in my arm.
When I asked back with a twirling smile, the boss gnashed his teeth and expressed his anger.
“Kwaaaaah! I looked at you as a kid, but you climb up without even knowing the subject!”
The boss, who had been shaking his whole body, gripped his weapon tightly and rushed in front of me in an instant.
“As long as the poison needle hit the arm, the poison must have already spread throughout the body! Dying slowly feeling the pain… Ugh!”
However, the boss’s cry turned into a scream of despair as I grabbed his arm.
I dug in reverse with the arms of the approaching boss, punching various vital points and putting a fist into my chin as a finishing touch.
“You said you looked at me as a kid? Rather, I was the one who looked after you until now? I was fighting with only her feet to protect the princess, but someone looked after someone!”
Since then, he has been recognized as a soldier by various instructors.
The best genius of the Yeon family, and the owner of the Cheonmujiche, a constitution that has been passed down only in legends, can’t handle just one assassin.
‘For an assassin who was aiming for the princess, his skills are often lacking.’
Originally, it is common for at least top-notch assassins to be attached to the big mission of killing the royal family.
That’s the minimum condition, and if you’re the princess of an empire as large as the Yellow Empire, you’ll have to bring in a master-level assassin to hope for, but what she’s seeing right now is a high-level assassin at best.
Of course, even a high-ranking assassin is by no means a low level.
If I hadn’t been vigilant against me right now, I wouldn’t have been able to ‘never’ defeat him.
But even a guy like that is too low level when you consider that the target of assassination is the princess.
Yes.
‘It’s as if you’re getting caught while assassinating.’
And when the thought went crazy there.
I suddenly came up with an assumption.
‘Couldn’t these guys be trying to ruin our relationship with the imperial family?’
This is within the premises of the Yeon family.
In addition, the emperor and the princess’ party came here as honored guests.
In this situation, if something goes wrong with the princess, we cannot avoid our responsibility.
Then, naturally, the emperor would keep away from the Yan family, and the Yan family wouldn’t be able to get close to the imperial family, which couldn’t properly protect them.
Umm… Even looking at it, you’re trying to tickle this thing, right?
“Uh, how… Poison must have been there. Poison must have entered…”
“Even if you look at it like this, it’s a special body. Quite a bit of poison doesn’t work.”
“Keep hee…Billion.”
After those words, the boss, who was about to collapse, suddenly thrust a dagger into his thigh and forcibly began to stand up.
“Damn it… Damn it! I’m afraid I’ll die like this!”
“So why did you take the assassination of the princess when you don’t have the skills…”
Thanks to the hit to the jaw, the brain was shocked and the whole body was in a state of trembling, but it seemed that there was no abnormality in moving, as if the damage was slightly insufficient.
“Die! Hwanjuk Sword (幻竹劍)!”
“Wait! You’re using your sword skills here!?”
Crazy! I’m going crazy out of nowhere…… !
As a faint green aura shimmered along the dagger, I stepped back in great panic.
Sword skill is generally a skill that can only be offset by using the same sword skill, so no matter how much I hit my body with an aura, it can’t be stopped.
‘Damn it, I should focus on avoiding it as much as possible….’
I can’t even dream of attacking as long as the opponent has pulled out the sword. I just do my best to evade so as not to be hit by the attack.
However, my vigilant movements put them to shame and the situation was quickly resolved.
『Found. Disrespectful.”
As soon as I heard that voice from the air, the leader’s movements stopped like a lie.
“What!?”
Quaaa——!
“Whoops!”
Shortly after that, the shadow of the leader shimmered and began to slowly subside him.
Chaehyun appears in the dark at the same time.
“Bocchan, are you okay?”
“Ugh, yes.”
“I’m sorry. The disrespectful things attacked the Emperor and I wasn’t in a hurry. Still, as the boy in charge of escorting the young master, I made the same mistake as this time. Please accept the harsh punishment.”
As she bowed her head with her respectful expression, I felt her guilt for not being able to protect me and the admiration that she did well on her own.
“Ugh, yes.”
Of course, all I could do was show a firm smile as I looked at the shadow that was swallowing the whole garden before I knew it.
