Chapter 450: Assassination from behind
"Poof!"
The moment Aster snapped his fingers, the sound of a sword entering flesh rang out.
Fujimaru Rika was stunned for a moment, and then she felt a sharp pain coming from behind her back after realizing it, and the pain came to her mind through her nerves, making her instantly pale.
"Lord!"
"Master!"
"Ritsuka!"
The three people on the side, Wind Demon Kotaro, Treasure Courtyard Yinshun and Musashi, all changed color when they saw this, and they all exclaimed with anxious and worried hearts.
Where the three of them met their eyes.
Kiyohime's eyes seemed to be in a state of sleep, as if she was completely unconscious at the moment, and she held a dagger in her hand at some point.
At this moment, the other end of the dagger had sunk deep into Fujimaru Ritsuka's back, causing blood to gush from the wound and stain the white Chaldean uniform red.
"Aha! Stupid, stupid! Are you only on the lookout for her safety, and don't think of the possibility of her being manipulated by me? Gohehe...... Haha, hahahahahaha! ”
As if seeing that his long-planned plot had finally been carried out, Aster let out a maniacal laugh, laughing and insulting the intelligence of the people below him, and by the way, he made a declaration of victory.
Last night, he used Shikigami to move his hands and feet to Kiyohime, not to hurt her body, but to secretly manipulate her spirit.
The previous action of snapping his fingers was not only to attract the attention of the other four, but also to make the technique of manipulating Qing Ji effective, that key gear.
"Despicable villain!"
Musashi's eyes widened unconsciously, and a thick coldness appeared in his gaze, and the Myojin in his hand was about to rush up and shatter it into pieces.
"Wait, Lord Musashi! Now the safety of the lord's life takes precedence! ”
Kotaro immediately stopped Musashi's moves, and quickly came to Fujimaru Rika's side, pushed Kiyohime away from her, and then carried the crumbling Fujimaru Rika on her back.
"Retreat first! Finding a way to treat the lord's injuries is a priority! Otherwise, there is a risk of excessive bleeding over time! ”
Musashi's movements froze, the exuberant anger in his mind cooled down slightly, and although his heart was still surging with killing intent towards Aster, he still barely calmed down, put away his sword and prepared to retreat with Kotaro.
"Wait...... Kiyohime ......"
Fujimaru Ritsuka lay on the back of the wind demon Kotaro, although the pain stimulated the brain almost lost the ability to think, but still reluctantly raised his head and looked at Kiyohime on the side.
"She's right...... ...... her too."
Kiyohime fell to the side, her eyes still dull, completely unconscious, after all, it was Aster who manipulated her, if she was still conscious, with her infatuation with Fujimaru Ritsuka, I am afraid that she would never stab her in the back.
"Then it's up to you to carry it on your back!"
Seeing that Kotaro had already carried Fujimaru Rikka on his back, Yinshun of the Treasure Courtyard took the initiative to walk up, intending to carry Kiyohime, who fell to the ground, on his back.
"Huh!"
But before he could get close to Qing Ji's side, several shuriken flew from the air on the side, and shot rapidly in the direction of Yin Shun of the Treasure Courtyard in a burst of breaking air.
"What people!"
Yin Shun of the Treasure Courtyard took two steps back, and after dodging the shuriken, he put the ten-character spear in front of him, and looked at it in the direction where the shuriken was thrown.
In that direction, a figure jumped from the beam not far away, half-crouched beside Aster like a squire, and looked cold eyes to this side.
It was a female ninja who looked no more than twenty years old with her black hair combed back in a high ponytail and a tight-fitting ninja uniform, and at this moment, she was holding two shurikens in her hands, as if they were about to be projected in the next moment.
"Aren't you ......?"
After Yinshun and Musashi of the Treasure Courtyard saw her figure, Qi Qi showed a look of surprise.
"You are ——!?"
Seeing this, Wind Demon Kotaro suddenly changed his face, as if he had become incredulous.
This female ninja is the female ninja who followed Yagyu Zongju's side, they had met each other yesterday, but they didn't expect to become enemies directly today.
Wind Demon Kotaro's face is particularly bad, but most of his face is hidden under his bangs, so people can't see his face clearly.
"You take the master first, and then you come down and break off!"
Yin Shun of the Treasure Courtyard did not hesitate, put the ten-character spear in front of him, and said with a solemn face: "Now is not the time to hesitate, hurry up, I can still support it for a while with a special treasure, but the master can't last that long!" ”
“…… Sorry, please! ”
Wind Demon Kotaro was silent for a while, and then, still carrying Fujimaru Rika, immediately jumped up from the spot, jumped onto the beam, and then left the castle tower and galloped away in the distance.
"Monk! You've got to catch up! ”
Musashi immediately ran to Kiyohime's side, picked Kiyohime up horizontally, and after giving a solemn expression to the treasure house Yinshun, he also hurriedly followed behind Kotaro and left here.
Seeing this, the female ninja immediately threw the shuriken in her hand at Musashi, trying to stop her from taking Kiyohime away.
But with two sonorous sounds, the shuriken she threw had already been quickly shot down by Yin Shun wielding a spear from the Treasure Courtyard.
"Your opponent is the Treasure Courtyard Stream Ten Character Gun!"
Treasure House Yinshun held the spear horizontally in front of him, blocking Aster and the female ninja from all of them, and an awe-inspiring smile appeared on his face.
"When there are only two opponents, it is much easier than when you were in the bamboo forest, and one of them is still an aster, you two don't want to pass through here easily!"
Among the servants of the seven ranks, the servants of the three ranks of Saber, Arher, and Laner often have relatively excellent ability values, so they are also known as the three knights, and relatively have stronger frontal combat capabilities.
Rider, aster, and Assassin are the types that rely on mounts, spells, and assassinations to fight, so their frontal combat ability will be slightly weaker.
Especially among them, most of the Asters are magicians who are not proficient in combat, even if they are gods and magicians with extremely high magical attainments, they may not be able to confront a second-rate third-knight follower in a head-on battle.
Among the two people opposite, one is a female ninja who can't detect the breath of the servant, and the other is just an aster, although the technique is difficult, but the frontal combat effectiveness is not high, even if he is one against two, there is a possibility of victory.
"Only two opponents? Uh-huh-hehehe-hehe......"
It's just that after hearing his words, Aster covered his mouth and laughed for some reason, and then gave an order to the female shinobi on the side, "Up, take him down...... Since it was a heroic spirit summoned by His Excellency the Sorcerer, there was no reason to let him run away. ”
