“this… ”

Countless people approaching them with their swords raised.

Bahamut automatically frowned at the appearance of an excessively large number of people, at least twenty.

‘damn. I knew they would attack, but I never thought that they would come and kill me in broad daylight like this… ‘

Normally, when the sun went down or went to a certain distance, not only Ophelia, but also other guards belonging to the upper guild accompanied her, making the security as solid as possible.

But… now the distance traveled was short, and above all, it was a day when the sun was in the middle of the sky.

It was not the right time to plot something, so he only served as a bodyguard for Ophelia…

The result came back to the worst situation like this.

‘I never thought I’d even use a strategy to disturb Ophelia. This… it must be really dangerous.’

The fortunate thing is that if you cross this alley, you will find a castle.

It was the time when Bahamut slowly looked into their eyes, pinning his last hope on that fact.

“!..this..isolda?”

“Go first. This is… I’ll try to stop it anyway.”

Lee Sol-da speaks while holding a wooden stick, unknown when it was prepared.

As a result, Bahamut’s face began to look different from just before.

“Muh… what are you talking about? I… how could I…”

“I am your slave anyway. that it is merely a tool. Wouldn’t that be a good thing if it could be consumed for the sake of the master?”

With those words, Lee Sol shows a slightly lonely smile on her lips.

In response, Bahamut still seemed hesitant, feeling guilty about the past, and Isolda once again spoke to Bahamut in a determined voice.

“Come on! Don’t waste your tool life in vain!”

“Kuh… .”

Bahamut forcibly moved his footsteps not to fall at Isolda’s words.

If this continues, everyone will die anyway, and the only possibility is that Bahamut drags the soldiers guarding the castle to rescue her.

‘Hold on for a little while, Lee Sol-da… Never… Never die!’

After seeing Bahamut disappear from sight, Isolda let out a small sigh.

“Sigh… really… I’m not used to this kind of role…”

With those words, it is Lee Sol who looks back at the ‘assassins’ who are not moving at all, only looking at each other while Bahamut is running away.

Then, as she slowly approached with a stick, the atmosphere began to stir up a bit.

at that time..

“What… what are you doing? Why didn’t anyone attack?”

“… what?”

An incomprehensible voice is heard the next moment.

At the same time, as if something had exploded, voices began to emerge from among the twenty assassins.

“What are you talking about? What else is there after this?”

“What! Of course you should have killed him! Why are you standing there blankly and just letting him go?”

“Ah.. No, I didn’t see anyone stepping out next to me..”

“what? G.. are you talking right now? Who are you going to assassinate?”

“Assassinate Bahamut? Did you really mean to do something crazy like that?”

“This is just mock training, right? Don’t be swept away by the atmosphere and say strange things!”

“What?.. training? Did you really think this was a joke? Are you still Sakiel?”

“Sakiel?..”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Are we adventurers from the Beden Merchant?”

“… to?..”

“!…..”

The flow of inconsistent conversations between 20 or so people.

Seeing this situation in which two groups with different goals accidentally got mixed up, Isolda started to feel a little dizzy for a while…

Soon after, she hurriedly organized her thoughts and gave orders to those in front of her eyes faster than anyone else.

“Stop mock training! Members of the Beden Merchant take off their hoods! Those with their faces covered are the real assassins!”

“ah… ”

As soon as Isolda’s words were finished, the adventurers at the top of Beden threw off their masks and masks.

Immediately after that, about 20 people were divided into two groups, and a battle ensued.

“Quit!”

“damn! I don’t know what it is, but kill them all! Bahamut must be defeated!”

“Stop! Don’t let them chase after Bahamut!”

Even while they still can’t figure out the situation, Sakiels swing their swords and watch.

The numbers were similar, and the skills were equal.

Lee Sol-da… To be precise, they were adventurers who were mobilized in the name of training according to Yuria’s plan, but their skills were real. It’s a bit inferior to the bait used to bring down Ophelia, but it’s strong enough nonetheless.

At the same time, the Sakiels who were aiming for Bahamut were also selected elites.

Although both sides were weak, they were showing physical abilities that surpassed those of ordinary humans while handling magical powers.

At that time, the tight battle between the adventurers of the Beden Merchants and Sakiel continued…

“!”

“Die you bitch!”

Sakiel takes advantage of the melee and rushes at Isolda

In response, Isolda tried to defend herself with a wooden stick, but the opponent with a steel dagger lightly tore it apart.

And..

“Keugh!”

It is Lee Sol who cuts his forearm with the dagger he wields.

In an instant, a tremendous pain overtook her, and Isolda lost her balance and fell to the floor.

‘That’s right.. This bastard’s dirty salesman… Nothing happens!’

Lee Sol-da laments over the current situation that has been twisted like a beggar.

At the same time, the word death began to pop into her mind.

And..

“Aagh!”

“Faaak!”

next moment,

The screaming man’s head flew away in an instant, and Isolda’s body was covered with blood that gushed out of the man’s neck.

“uh?”

Isolda’s face began to show surprise and relief at the sudden situation… and a strange feeling of fear.

Sakiel’s body collapses on the floor in front of her.

Then, in Isolda’s eyes, the person who was usually not very welcome, but at this moment, the person she wanted to see more than anyone else began to come into view.

and at the same time…

The atmosphere there, which had been in a tense battle, suddenly changed.

“… .ah..”

“Everything… you…”

The adventurers whose faces start to glow the next moment.

On the other hand, deep fear began to dwell in the eyes of the Sakiels who had gathered here for the assassination.

A terrifying sensation that penetrates the depths of the soul.

In their fearful eyes… The appearance of such an existence that makes their instincts scream out with a simple gesture began to be included.

“Kill… absolutely kill… bastards who dared to touch my master… Bahamut… Not even one left… kill them all… ”

A woman slowly approached me with a greatsword while muttering words full of murder.

Ophelia Crimson.

A green light was shining in her eyes, and the tremendous magic power that flowed along the great sword was ripping the air around it and shaking like crazy.

“eww… aaagh!”

Sakiel wields his weapon without hesitation, seized by a fear he has never experienced before.

But..

“grasp!”

His body split into two pieces in an instant before he even got close to the pole.

Watching his body collapse with blood pouring in an instant, Sakiels began to recognize the seriousness of the situation.

“This… this is… dangerous!”

“Okay.. stop the operation! This… Hurry up and retreat…”

She vividly showed the presence and power that I would not even dare to face. In response, the Sakiels gathered their weapons and hurriedly tried to escape from there.

But…

“Quaaagh!”

“Keoouk!”

Their screams begin to echo the next moment.

Right after that, Isolda turned her head away from the scene in front of her without realizing it.

Streams of blood gushing out right in front of her.

She couldn’t bear to watch with her bare eyes as Sakiel rolled on the floor with his arms and legs falling off as he tried to escape.

‘what. that woman… I’m scared… ‘

Ophelia ‘subdues’ the assassins with mechanical movements, with an expressionless face.

Seeing this, the adventurers who participated in this work according to Isolda’s ‘simulated training’ began to feel chills running down their spines.

‘If we got the timing wrong, we might end up like that…’

‘I knew it was strong to some extent, but… To think it would be like this… ‘

‘Ophelia Crimson… I wasn’t Bahamut-sama’s direct escort for nothing… ‘

‘There must have been a reason why a low-ranking adventurer became an executive at the Beden Merchant Army overnight…’

The way she shows a power that is different from theirs in a terrible way and unfiltered.

The gossip about Ophelia, who was a low-class adventurer and was lucky enough to succeed, completely disappeared that day.
