513. Termination
The operation went smoothly, and the militarized temple of Athena was probably equipped with nearly twenty soldiers to defend and patrol.
But among these twenty soldiers, there were no people who were 'approved by the gods' and 'held artifacts'.
They are just a bunch of ordinary people with military training in their time.
And there is no chance to form a battle formation to face each other head-on, but scattered patrols around a complex structure.
For people like Lan and Kassandra, who are accustomed to the rhythm of extraordinary-level battles and the battlefield environment, their flaws and gaps are too many, too big.
Less than thirty minutes had passed, and there was not a single living person left in the entire temple, except for the last inner sanctum.
Standing in front of the doorway to the inner sanctum, Kassandra's broken spear danced in her hand before retracting the strap on her back.
"That's all there is to it."
The falconer turned his face sideways and said to Lan En, who was clean and tidy.
The witcher didn't say much, just nodded at her and gently opened the door.
The two walked in silently.
At the same time, the movement in the inner sanctum was heard.
"Speak, little bastard!"
"Say, who sent you around the city of Megara to inquire about it? Who sent you up the mountain to enter the temple? โ
Fierce yelling and scolding came from within.
Judging by the sound, there must have been two people interrogating a 'little bastard'.
Kassandra listened, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
She turned her head to look at Lanen, and she knew only by that look that she knew that the two of them wanted to go together.
But to Kassandra's surprise, the expression on Ran's face was more of 'worried' than 'worried'!
Before she had time to think about it, Kassandra simply raised her leg and kicked it sharply. There was a loud "bang", and the small door in the inner hall was kicked directly!
"Put her out of me"
Kassandra roared anxiously and furiously, a war cry filled with oppression.
But before she could finish shouting 'let go', a petite black shadow 'whoosh' burst out of the door!
If it weren't for Kassandra's control, her broken spear would have almost stabbed up!
The black shadow that popped out of the door was also startled.
But the dark shadow's mood soon turned into surprise, and she cried out happily, "Kassandra! โ
Then, as if remembering something, her mood took a sharp turn and turned into horror.
"Don't look inside! Cover"
Cover what?
Kassandra was already a little stunned from watching Fauber burst out of it, and she couldn't react at all.
Fauber's expression became more and more anxious, and inside the inner sanctum, the sound of Athenian soldiers chasing could be heard.
Suddenly, a tall, muscular body encircled Kassandra and Fauber directly in its arms, and then one turned around and turned his back to the door of the inner sanctum that had been kicked open.
Almost at the same moment - "Bang! โ
A blinding light and a violent noise suddenly burst open from the inner sanctum!
The extraordinary brightness is enough to impair, and the sight of a person who sees directly is temporarily blind. And the noise that is locked by the sealed building structure and constantly impacting back and forth can directly damage the cochlea of ordinary people!
Not only can it cause deafness, but it can also disrupt the body's balance center, leading to vomiting, cramps, and loss of muscle control.
These are the bloody experiences of the Witcher's predecessors after igniting the [Dancing Star] in a sealed cave!
Kassandra had never experienced such an attack, and she cowered blankly in Ran's arms. Fauber was a little more skilled than she was.
But Kassandra could feel that her own unique 'senses' didn't seem to be too affected by the attack.
"Fauber, look at the good things you've done!!"
Lan En roared as if he were teaching a bear child, and it sounded a little erratic to the vibrated eardrums.
And the little girl even refuted it for the first time under the explosion.
"Didn't you tell me it was so loud indoors!"
For some reason, Kassandra thought it was a little funny at this time.
She scurried out of Lan's arms and into the inner sanctum.
As she expected, there was only one big brute and one guy with a fully covered metal helmet.
Icanos.
Kassandra was immediately sure that this was her goal.
She didn't think about it, almost instinctively took off the broken spear hanging on her back, and then threw it with a 'whoosh'!
Ikanos, who was originally holding a helmet, is undoubtedly also a 'chosen by the gods', and he also has some supernormal perception.
Kassandra's spear was blocked by his raised hand, and an illusory golden light exploded from the point of contact between the broken spear and his arm.
The sharp blade of the spear failed to penetrate the flesh, and the illusory golden light on Ikanos' arm dimmed considerably.
Kassandra felt bad when she saw that the broken spear had failed to penetrate the other's body.
However, her ability to teleport with the Broken Spear in mind has begun to take effect.
The sturdy and beautiful body had turned into golden particles of light, and as it converged on Ikanos, Kassandra raised her hand and grasped the broken spear that had been bounced off in the palm of her hand.
Then she threw it again without hesitation, not daring to stop, and the flying broken spear stabbed into the throat of the large brute five paces away, and Kassandra appeared at the brute's side.
The last time she had appeared, two double-edged daggers that were shorter than their normal Greek daggers, but with mirror-like blades that were as delicate as mirrors, were tearing through the air and crossing each other.
It's hard to deal with.
Kassandra immediately recognized the difficulty of this guy.
If you put aside the artifact on her body, this mercenary named Icanos has a reaction speed that is almost a minute slower than her.
But the good thing is that today she didn't come alone.
ใAlpha Sealใ!
"Pong!"
A burst of air was squeezed by a force created out of thin air, followed by the sound of crashing into a metal helmet.
Lan En, who had put Fauber down from his arms, was turning around and raising his hand, retracting the gesture he had pinched.
Seeing that Kassandra's broken spear couldn't even penetrate the skin of her arm, the witcher didn't think that the ammunition in his wrist armor would be stronger than Kassandra's.
Therefore, he deliberately spread the striking area of the [Alpha Seal].
Icanos' entire helmet was so violently impacted that he even somersaulted in the air and smashed his leather-clad back to the ground.
Inside the helmet, the man who had not yet shown his face let out a confused moan.
This is equivalent to being hit against the wall with a helmet, and it is even enough to knock an ordinary person into a violent concussion. But in people like them, they are only confused for a while at most.
Kassandra wasn't ready to give her opponent a rest, the broken spear she held in her hand already glowed with a golden glow, as if some kind of power had been gathered.
Then like an eagle pounced, she rushed to Icanos's side on her knees, and stabbed him in the neck with a broken spear that shimmered with golden light!
With a "poof", a layer of golden light shattered outside of Iconos's body, and arterial blood spurting from his neck spilled long marks on the floor of the temple.
An assassination that is not too difficult.
The dust settled.
On Lan's side, he knocked Fauber's brain crash with a 'bang'.
stared at the little girl with an unkind face.
"All right, miss. Now we can talk about your problem. โ
