Chapter 21: The Assassin
There were four people left, and Agni was quietly making plans.
It's a good choice when breaking out, but it will have to worry about being targeted, and killing the remaining four is also a way to do it here, but it can also attract more enemies if the number and goal of the enemy are not clear.
Agni was distressed, and it was difficult for her to make the right choice, but fortunately, her duty was to follow the princess's orders.
"Leave one behind, the others kill. ”
Sophia spoke, being targeted for no reason, anyone would hold back a wave of anger, and at this special moment, Sophia didn't believe that these people in black had nothing to do with the incident she was pursuing.
"I'll protect myself while you're away. ”
After saying that, Sophia shook her sword and put on a fighting stance. Sophia is not a useless embroidered pillow, she learned swordsmanship from a young age under Reinhardt Tolstoy, known as the "King of Swords", which everyone around Sophia, including Agni.
The fire that got the order moved, and under the effect of the ultra-high-speed movement, the fire only left a series of afterimages in the eyes of the man in black, and in an instant, he approached the man in black who died before, and slashed towards the soft throat of the man in black.
By the time the other men in black reacted, it was too late, and all they saw was splattered blood and skulls that flew up in terror.
"How dare you!"
The leader of the men in black was furious, and the magic patterns on his body lit up, and he jumped from the roof like a vigorous black panther, and hammered his fists directly into the flames.
Women are already losing to men in terms of physique, and her fighting style is also biased towards skill, Agni did not resist hard, and she easily jumped out of the attack range of the leader of the man in black as soon as she crouched down.
"You can't escape!"
The leader of the man in black failed to catch the flames' fists and slammed them on the ground, and the one who shook the ground jumped up with the help of the reaction force, twisted his body and slammed his fists towards the flames again, and launched his martial arts at the same time.
"!"
This is a martial art that strengthens muscle tissue with magic to increase one's own strength, and the increase in physical damage can be exaggerated compared to other martial arts.
Looking at the leader of the men in black who was leaping after him, Agni confirmed his inference. I had felt this way when I had killed one of the men in black before, these guys dressed as assassins were not assassins at all, and only properly trained warriors were skilled in this straightforward way of fighting.
But this is just right, the corners of Agni's mouth curl up slightly into a mocking smile. It was much easier to deal with these regular warriors than it was to deal with the Assassins who were prone to petty tactics.
Before being attacked, Agni reached for his belt with his left hand, and the fingers of his right hand pinched the metal filament hidden in the cuff.
The strength of the leader of the man in black is stronger than that of Agni, and the bounce that depends on his strength is also stronger than that of Agni, and when he saw that his fist was about to fall on Agni, the leader of the man in black, whose strength was far beyond ordinary people, was keenly aware of the smile on the corner of Agni's mouth. The strange smile made the leader of the men in black feel a sense of crisis, but the leader of the men in black, who was confident in his skills, still chose to continue the attack.
Syllable!
Agni twisted his body with all his might, but it was too difficult to exert force in the air for Agni to completely dodge the fist of the leader of the men in black, and several ribs made a terrible noise, although it would not break easily under the protection of the magic pattern, but it was also a serious injury that could make people incapacitated.
Won, a smile appeared on the corner of the black's mouth. In his opinion, even if the princess guard has not weak strength, he is just a rookie who lacks combat experience, and he can kill his two subordinates by surprise sneak attack, and when he really faces a strong enemy, he will show his flaws, and when he chooses to jump up and avoid his own attack by mistake, the princess guard is destined to die in his own hands. In fact, this was the case, the woman had received a punch from herself without any suspense, and now even if she could stand up, she would not be able to use her fists and kicks again, let alone hold a weapon.
"The poor small northern country is so poor even in talent, hahaha. ”
The leader of the men in black began to fall, smirking at the fact that he didn't notice the thinner wire than a hair around his neck.
"It's a shame you have to die in this small northern country. ”
The indifferent female voice caused goosebumps on the back of the leader of the man in black, and he hurriedly looked at the woman who should have been planted in his hand, only to see that the woman was holding her waist with her left hand, and her right hand was pulling, and the taunt at the corner of her mouth was overflowing with blood, and there was no sign of injury other than that.
This was the last thing the leader of the men in black saw, and then his consciousness sank into darkness.
Agni pressed the button on his waist, and the steel cable that had been connected to the house behind him contracted rapidly, sending Agni to speed backwards. There was a pull on the hidden wire thread in the sleeve of his right hand, and Agni did not hesitate to add strength.
Then everything became simple and clear, and the second head flew up with a puzzled expression, and fell to the ground in an arc with blood.
Sophia didn't know how the other party would feel, presumably the dead leader would not be in a good mood, in fact, she herself was not very satisfied.
"Agni! How many times have I said it? Girls have to use gorgeous and beautiful fighting methods! Your fighting style of not caring about means is not beautiful at all!"
Agni rolled her eyes, how many times had she heard Her Royal Highness say it, but she was still a little unimpressed, the battle was just the process of killing and being killed, where did it come from gorgeous and beautiful.
"I've said it many times, Your Highness Princess. I'm not a swordsman or a knight, I'm an assassin, and killing them accurately and quickly is my beauty. ”
The two of them had to discuss this issue for a long time each time, but fortunately, both of them knew that now was not the time to debate the topic of 'aesthetic combat', so they just expressed their opinions and quickly returned to the fight
"Retreat!"
Seeing that the leader was dead, the two men in black who blocked the way immediately made a decision, and the two (tentative A and B) jumped on the roof, grabbed the men in black on the roof (tentative C), and quickly retreated.
"You can't escape. ”
The leader of the men in black had said something similar not long ago, and it was not long before his position was completely reversed, and it must be said that the word 'retribution' can always be used for most accidents.
Agni said as he lowered his body and made a sprint stance.
" and . ”
Two consecutive martial arts made the magic patterns on Agni's body shine brightly.
Just one step, just a single flame trampled the ground to pieces, and the ultra-high-speed movement through the increase of strength was like a high-pressure cutter, tearing apart the ground and houses in the straight line of the flames.
Even the stony ground and houses could not withstand the aftermath of the attack, and the necks of men A and B in black were destroyed in an instant, and only man C in black, who was deliberately avoided by the fire, was only slightly injured.
Shaking off the blood on his hand, Agni lifted the frightened Man in Black C and returned to Sophia's side.
"This is the mage in charge of cover-up in the Man in Black?"
Sophia, who rarely sees a magician, curiously looks at the man in black, who is thrown to the ground and doesn't dare to snort.
"Judging by the behavior of the man in black, it should be right. ”
Sophia, who received Agni's answer, was even more excited.
"Magicians are so versatile, they can do anything. ”
Sophia refers to the fact that the man in black hides his aura at the beginning, and the fact that the shadow hides his sound and strange appearance during the battle so that others will not notice it.
"That's just the usual illusion. ”
Although he knew that his princess was interested in magic, Agni dutifully reminded him.
"Now that the illusion has been lifted, it won't be long before the clothes here will be discovered, and Her Royal Highness would be better off changing places if she wants to interrogate. ”
"No, no. My question is simple. ”
With that, Sophia's bayonet pointed at Man C.
"You're from that organization?"
Men in Black C were no longer able to resist, and his eyes avoided contact with Sophia.
"The Brotherhood of Yin and Shadow. ”
The "Shadow Brotherhood" is a well-known underground organization that operates all kinds of dark side work such as assassination and espionage, and they will accept any job as long as they are paid, and it is a mercenary organization known for its cold-bloodedness and absolute discipline.
Sophia nodded, erasing the "Shadow Brotherhood" from her list.
The Shadow Brotherhood's killers would not have such a formal way of fighting, would not run away, and would not be able to betray the Order.
"Mephistopheles. ”
Immediately after, Sophia said the name she had just known.
"W-What?"
Man C in black asked puzzled.
Answering him was Sophia's bayonet, the tip of which fluttered like a butterfly and slashed across the throat of Man C in Black.
The flickering in the eyes of Man C in black did not escape Sophia's eyes.
"Can you be sure there's no one else around?"
Agni closed his eyes, used all his senses, and carefully checked twice before answering.
"Nope. ”
Sophia breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to pick up her luggage.
"The other party's purpose is also Mephistopheles, so why not join forces with them?"
Agni asked puzzledly, no matter how you think about it, it is more efficient than two people to track down, it is impossible for the princess not to understand, so the princess's decision seems a little strange.
"If I had known that the merchant named Mephistopheles was a demon, I would have joined forces with them. ”
In other words, 'the problem is that Mephistopheles is the devil'.
"I can probably guess the identities of these men in black. ”
Sophia replied a little tiredly.
Combined with their purpose, the answer is obvious. ”
Agni and the princess have been together for a long time, although they don't have Sophia's flexible mind, and they can roughly guess Sophia's meaning by virtue of their familiarity with Sophia.
"Holy See ......"
The corners of Agni's mouth twitched. In the current situation, it is the worst and most troublesome enemy, and if it is revealed that this country has a connection with the devil, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
"Hopefully I'm wrong. ”
Sophia reluctantly pressed her temple, which was a little painful.
Gossip: Thank you for the reward from "My name is Little Soldier B", this is the first time I have received a tip, I am a little excited, I am very happy to know that someone likes my novel, and your support is my biggest motivation. By the way, I would like to ask for a recommendation.
