In fact, when the man in black stayed there quietly and did not move, Leo had already quietly condensed the elements and set up a lot of trap magic around him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAs soon as the man in black passes above the magic circle, the trap magic will be activated immediately, disrupting his attack, and then, Leo can perform a lightning attack on him, quickly eliminating him.

"What's going on, why didn't he make any moves?"

The man in black was puzzled by Leo's actions, and in his opinion, the first thing to do when facing a professional opponent who looked like an assassin was to distance himself from him, or rely on his own defenses to resist. Leo didn't do anything, which struck him as strange.

"Not good!"

Just as he saw Leo smile, the man in black understood that he was waiting for him to rush forward. thereupon

The man in black changed his direction in an instant.

"Excuse me...... It's late!"

"Rope of Magic"

Just as the man in black changed direction, a magic array appeared in Leo's hand, and something like a rope came out of the magic array, and directly threw the rope over.

"This guy...... Is it a magician?"

Therefore, before he could dodge, he was directly wrapped around his arm by Leo with a rope.

"With this kind of magic, how can you catch me?"

The man in black looked at the rope that grabbed him, took out his weapon, that is, the two short swords tied to his feet, and quickly slashed at the rope wrapped around his hand, trying to cut the rope.

"Gladius? Is he a speed-conscious professional?"

"Attack Method...... It should be a short-distance high-speed slash, so there is no need to pull him over in such a hurry, he should come directly to this side for melee combat. ”

After analyzing the current situation, Leo had no intention of attacking, and let the man in black use the dual swords in his hands to cut the rope wrapped around his arm.

"You let me cut the rope...... What the hell is going on with this magician?

After cutting the rope on his hand, the man in black looked at Leo, as if he looked down on Leo's lack of action just now. In his opinion, as a magician, it is undoubtedly an idiot to let the enemy unload the controlling type of magic.

"Then, in order to thank your men for their mercy, I will simply deal with you. ”

So, the man in black who cut the rope rushed directly towards Leo. It's just that when the man in black didn't notice, Leo moved a step or two slightly. It didn't take long for him to rush in front of Leo, and he could see the expression on Leo's face. Just as he was about to attack Leo, a slight glow of magic appeared at his feet.

"Hmm...... what's this underfoot?"

The man in black noticed that Leo in front of him didn't make any moves, and thought it was a little strange, why didn't he move? So, he's fallen for Leo's scheme.

"Suffered...... It's trap magic!"

As the man in black was about to attack Leo, he noticed something strange under his feet. However, he was a little late in discovering, and the trap magic under his feet had already been activated, emitting bursts of purple light.

"Trap Magic・Mine"

I saw several purple thunderbolts rushing from the feet of the man in black, enveloping the man in black.

"Damn, you stinky boy, you are so cunning, it seems that you should be a very high-level magician. However, there are many magicians I have defeated...... You're trying to bring me down with all your gadgets, boy, you're dead. ”

It didn't take long for the man in black to walk out from under the purple thunderbolt. It seems that although he was hit by Leo's trap magic, his body turned black. However, judging from his actions, it seems that the trap magic just now did not hurt him very much.

"Skill: Swift Shadow"

Seeing that Leo was still staying where he was, the man in black probably guessed that Leo must have a trap magic like the one just now. Therefore, he slowly raised the dual swords in his hands again, and the double swords took an X posture in front of his chest. Then, he disappeared before Leo's eyes at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

“…… Instant burst type of pro?"

Just when Leo was thinking about where the man in black would attack from and hadn't yet responded, suddenly, a gust of wind that felt unusual blew from Leo's right side, as if it was carrying a blade.

“！”

After seeing the man in black disappear, Leo became alert to what was happening around him. So, when the gust of wind blew, Leo noticed that something was wrong and moved a little to the right.

"Did you get it......

Then, after the sound of a blade cutting through his clothes, Leo's surroundings became quiet again, as if nothing had happened. It's just that Leo's left shirt is a little torn. If you look closely, you can see that there is still a little blood on the left sleeve of the dress.

"This kid, as a magician, can still detect me using the Wind Shadow, this is still a wonderful magician...... However, even if you can detect me, as long as you can't dodge, you're going to lose!"

At this time, the man in black who had slashed Leo was hiding under the eaves of this inn, and the double swords in his hands glowed with cold light, reflecting the face of the man in black.

Because, Leo is standing on the roof and can't see here. So, this became his best hiding place. Also, the best place where Leo's actions can be observed.

"Is it just a minor injury...... It seems that his attack style relies on speed, not strength. In that case, as long as I can ignore his attacks, I won't lose. ”

Leo looked at the wound on his arm, it was not very serious, and he could still move normally. After thinking about it for a while, Leo had some idea of what to do with him.

"Enhanced Magic・Stone Skin"

"Enhanced Magic: Wind Speed"

"Strengthens Magic and Muscle Strength"

"Enhanced Magic: Eagle Eye"

Since Leo had a lot of magic in mind, there were even some enhancement magic and support magic. So, Leo now took advantage of the fact that the man in black had not yet attacked, and strengthened his magic on himself. It is estimated that after adding four enhancement magic, Leo stopped using enhancement magic. Because, the second attack of the man in black...... Here we go.

Suddenly, the man in black reappeared on the roof, and he was still moving so fast that his figure could not be seen, and only the sound he made as he moved could tell where he was.

"It seems that he hasn't found out yet. ”

For the man in black who pays attention to speed, as long as Leo can ignore his current attacks, he can only use more powerful moves to deal with Leo. However, there is also a problem that arises with this. The more powerful the move, the slower it will be. In the face of someone like Leo, who has a keen sense, he only needs to use powerful moves. Well, his advantages...... Speed, it's gone.

"Elemental Condensation: Darkness"

"Blessing Wind"

Thanks to Leo's practice in his spare time, instead of his previous speed, a black, scythe formed by the dark element quickly appeared in his hand. The handle is about the same size as Leo's, and the blade is half the length of the handle, and the scythe is completely black.

Hidden in the deep night, the black scythe in Leo's hand seemed to exist at all, like a poisonous snake hidden in the grass, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, and the enemy was the man in black in front of Leo.

"Look at the move!"

"Skill: Swift Shadow"

The man in black didn't know that Leo's defense had been greatly improved now, and he continued to maintain the power of the attack just now, without change. Therefore, as long as he dares to confront Leo head-on now, he will definitely lose.

"Huh"

With the sound of a blade cutting through his clothes, a short sword in the man in black attacked Leo's clothes, and just as he was about to stab another sword into Leo's body and prepare to end the fight, he noticed something terrible. His sword can't be stabbed in, so a sharp sword can't hurt a person's body, how is this possible, just kidding?

"How...... Possible....... ”

The man in black is now revealing a flaw because of his miscalculation of Leo's strength. And this flaw is the opportunity that Leo has been waiting for, an opportunity to quickly bring down the man in black.

"Huh"

So, now Leo wielded the black scythe in his hand. It felt like cutting tofu with a knife, without any pause, and the right hand of the man in black was cut off very neatly. As a result, the right hand of the man in black fell from his right shoulder, and blood sprayed from the wound on his right shoulder and spilled all over the ground.

"Ah......h

After the black-clad man's right hand was cut off by Leo, he half-knelt on the ground, covering the huge wound on his right shoulder, looking very painful.

"How...... Maybe? I actually ...... Lost ....... ”

The man in black looked at his arm that fell to the side, and couldn't believe it, he actually lost, lost! As a man in black, he actually lost, and he also lost an arm.

"How is that possible...... How can it be...... How can it be...... This must be fake, it must be an illusion, it must be ...... You're using psychic magic!"

I thought that after the man in black lost one of his arms, he should have left here obediently. However, the man in black seemed a little crazy, it should be said, a little hysterical.

"Can't you accept the reality...... This guy is a little too proud, it's just a failure, there's no need to work hard. ”

Originally, as this kind of assassin and thief-type professional, he should have fought with a single hit and thousands of miles away. Now, the man in black has lost his cool because of the huge contrast between the current situation and what he thought, and he actually wants to fight Leo head-on.

"In that case, let you sober up....... ”

"Die......!"

Just as the two were about to clash head-on, a breath from a distance stopped the battle between the two.

"What's going on...... His reinforcements?"

"How am I ...... Uh...... Have you lost your cool?"

Both of them were a little surprised by the sudden appearance of this aura, and they both fell silent, staring at each other. It's just that the man in black calmed down because of the appearance of this aura.

"Damn...... If this continues, let alone take the woman away, it's a question of whether or not you can go back. ”

After calming down, the man in black briefly analyzed the current situation.

"I have no choice but to go back!"

The man in black gritted his teeth and decided to escape from here, deciding to come back to the field later.

"Hmm...... Is he gone?"

When Leo was on guard against that aura, he didn't pay too much attention to the man in black. So, the man in black in front of him disappeared from the roof while Leo was not paying attention.

After the man in black disappeared, Leo looked around the roof, ready to disarm the magic array he had just set up here, and by the way, dispel his own breath.

"Now that you're gone, ...... The magic array that was set up nearby just now has been lifted, so it's a shame that others will find out. ”

With a wave of Leo's hand, more than a dozen magic arrays of all sizes suddenly appeared on the roof, and then gradually disappeared on this roof.

"Then I have to go back quickly, if I am discovered by that breath, I will have more and more troubles in the future, and it is better to do less of this kind of trouble. ”

After perceiving it a little, he found that the aura had not come here so quickly, so Leo hurried back to his room.

Leo returned to his room and roared, first setting up a lot of magic circles for vigilance near Chrissy's room next door. Then, after carefully checking for a while, and after making sure that the magic array set up here could delay for some time, Leo returned to his room, lay down on the bed, and slowly fell asleep.

However, not long after Leo fell asleep, a man in papal armor appeared on the roof of the inn, standing where Leo and the man in black were fighting.

"The breath of the dark element...... Has anyone ever used the dark arts here?"

The man noticed the anomaly here, and it stands to reason that the appearance of dark elements is usually a sign that someone is using dark magic. However, under the suppression of the Holy See over the years, black magic has not appeared on the mainland for a long time. Unless...... There are demons appearing!

"I heard that there were demons three years ago, could it be ...... Do those guys from the demon clan want to start a big war again?"

The man looked at the calm town in front of him, and his heart was very complicated.

At this time, the man in black returned to a very luxurious house and half-knelt in front of a young man.

"What do you say, you failed? and lost an arm...... Or was it chopped down by a young magician...... You're kidding, right?"

The young man was shocked, as a black-clothed man, he had not failed in the past few years, and he had lost an arm, so he could only escape in embarrassment.

"Yes...... If your subordinates are ineffective, please punish the young master. ”

The black-clothed man was half-kneeling in front of the man, with a thick bandage on his right shoulder.

"Alas...... , forget it, it's not your fault either, this time it's free. However, what kind of person is that magician, who can actually defeat you as a sixth-order assassin? He shouldn't be an ordinary person, right? If it's her guard...... Could it be that she ...... identity?"

Although the young man was very unhappy, because he was now away from home and understaffed, he still let the black clothes go and did not punish him.

"Young Master, do you need me to investigate him?"

Seeing that he was not punished by the young master, the black clothes wanted to redeem his defeat and offered to investigate the information of the magician who made him fail.

"Investigate? Hmm...... Surveys can. However, it's not you who go, you are not lightly injured this time, I will let someone else take over this matter, you can go and rest for a while. ”

"Yes....... ”

Black-clothed heard the young man's words and walked out of the room.

Just when the man was thinking about what to do, the person who caused him so much distress...... Leo, who was sleeping on the bed in the hotel at this time.

(I won't get the chapter name in the future, I feel like it will be a spoiler...... ）
