Chapter 30: The Taboo
"Ahh
"Ugh!"
"Ahh
Rushing towards little Lori from different directions, the three of them crashed together and fell.
"That...... You guys...... Are you alright?"
In the midst of them, Leah, who was supposed to eat the impact from three different directions, seemed to have nothing to do.
"That's what I'm going to say! Are you alright, Leah?"
Isabella stood up and tried to hug little Lori.
"Huh?"
However, this action was in vain. Instead of being able to touch Leah, the princess passed through her body, as if the current little Lori did not exist here, and what she was in contact with was just a disembodied projection.
"Do you mean...... You ......"
Looking at the other party's slightly vague figure, as if she understood something, the princess confirmed with difficulty.
"Well, that's right, banishment. โ
Exile is a state between the present world and the other dimensional space, like Schrรถdinger's cat, which exists in this world, but does not exist in this world.
That's right, that's the final card Leah used to deal with this assassination. It is also the only barrier for her to dare to face the eighth-level powerhouse alone - as long as it is a physical attack, even if the ninth-level powerhouse is called over, she will not be able to interfere with the banished little Lori.
To be honest, there is not the only way to fight assassination, such as the moment the opponent snipers, it is good to flicker.
But the release of the flicker is only for a split second, whether it is used earlier than the assassin's attack, or later. will cause irreparable results. If it's too early, the assassin can completely re-aim and fire arrows where the little loli flashes. Opposite. If the flicker is late, it will be too late, and the flight speed of its arrows is probably no different from the speed of teleportation for Leah.
As a result, exile magic naturally has a better margin for error. First of all, it's continuous magic. Even if it is released too soon, it will continue for a while.
Secondly, its effect is not obvious. To say the only change. It is that the figure of the person being cast will become blurred.
And this blur is not very easy to detect, it is that the princess, Alec, and Saif did not notice until they collided together. Of course. Neither did the assassins. No, maybe he was aware of it, but he didn't want to give up the rare opportunity to be by Leah's side without Karen to follow him.
In any case, he made a wrong judgment and shot a meaningless arrow at Lori, who was physically immune.
"Protect Miss Leah!! enemy will attack again at any time!!"
Although it is not clear what happened, Alec, who confirmed that Leah seemed to be fine, immediately gathered the knights and surrounded Lori in the center.
"It's okay, Mr. Alec. The enemy will not attack us anymore, or rather. He didn't stand a chance. โ
But Isabella shook her head and stopped the knights from doing so. Knowing Leah's plan, she wouldn't have been surprised by where Karene had gone today......
On a tower two kilometers away from the bazaar. A young man held a huge silver-white bow, his eyes staring blankly into the distance. That was where Leah and the others were.
The assassination attempt failed. No normal assassin would fail to comprehend what was happening in front of him. It stands to reason that now is the time to leave and hide yourself, and your safety is at a critical moment. But for some reason, the boy remained motionless, just silently looking into the distance.
"Oh, you have the guts, you didn't run away. โ
Behind the boy, at some point, Karen was already standing there.
Leah's plan is actually very simple, the enemy's sniping will be dealt with by herself, once the opponent moves. Karen, who had been in ambush in a suitable position, would quickly identify the sniper's location and rush to capture him alive.
As long as the killer can be captured alive, the method of torturing the organization or country to which he belongs is as large as there are.
โ......โ
But for some reason, the young man who was the assassin didn't answer Karen, and still squatted there like a sculpture.
"Hmph. โ
Karene frowned and cautiously approached the other. An enemy who can deliver a single blow from an eighth-level powerhouse, even if he forcibly increases his strength, is definitely not easy to get along! This is also the reason why Karian must rush to the scene in person.
However......
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Karen, sensing that something was wrong, stepped forward quickly and clasped her hand on the boy's shoulder. Correspondingly, like a puppet that has lost its control, the assassin collapses......
The assassination provoked a violent reaction throughout Avedra. Leah and the others, who had successfully resolved this disaster invisibly, discussed the matter with Sharuzod that night.
"I can be sure that the giant bow in the assassin's hand is the 'silver dragon' of the Salman Holy Cult. Of course, the assassin himself was not its owner, Ned Kinglock. โ
Karenne was the first to speak.
The silver dragon is the famous bow that the Salman Holy Sect has always been proud of, made of holy silver that has been blessed by the Pope himself ninety-nine times, as well as the dragon tendons that were defeated by the Holy Sect hundreds of years ago. Until a few years ago, it was the favorite bow of Ned Kinglock, the first archer of the Holy Cult and a seventh-level powerhouse. It wasn't until Marshal Charlie had his arm cut off that the legend of this bow came to an abrupt end.
No one would have imagined that when it reappeared, it would be on the stage of assassination.
"I guess too, even if it's really Salman's Holy Sect that does it, how can it be possible to send Jin Luo to make a move. โ
Isabella nodded. Not to mention that Jin Luo has long been cut down by Marshal Charlie, you must know that once such a well-known hero is caught, even if he is dead, the Salman Holy Sect will not be able to escape from it no matter what.
"So, the killer wasn't one of any powerhouses I knew, and nothing could be deduced from his corpse. As we guessed, he must have used the method of forcibly improving his strength, of course, it is impossible for this kind of trick not to damage himself.
In fact, on the way back to him, the man's bones, blood vessels, and internal organs all began to crumble like collapsed building blocks, and I could barely tell that he looked good. โ
Karen shook her head, feeling apprehensive about that kind of inhumane and incomparably poisonous method of improving her strength. There are not no ways to improve your strength, and most of them come at a cost. However, the cost of one's life is undoubtedly the most extreme.
"It's fine if it's just like that. I can imagine that the other party wants to get rid of Miss Leah like a gambler who has lost all his money.
Did you know...... It's not just **...... On that killer......"
Sharuzod's expression was darker than that of Karen, not only because this assassination in Mage City was a slap in the face, but more importantly, ......
"On that killer...... There are unforgivable taboos!". )
