208A pitch-black night (4)

The emergency bell rang loudly..

Roman Dmitry sat down at the table and looked at Brakan's data and said:.

“If Ecorche fails in his assassination and is destroyed in return. How do you think the assassination industry will react?.”

It was a question whose intention I could not understand..

Bracan looked at Roman Dmitry's eyes..

He didn't understand everything from start to finish: why he pressed the emergency bell or why he didn't run away..

‘Roman Dmitry is, as rumored, a warlike person. He usually doesn't react this extreme to being assassinated, but he is a crazy person who crossed the borders of the Kronos Empire for the sole purpose of revenge. Judging from the question just now, his goal would be Ecorsha. If so, he still has a chance to turn the situation around..’

I rolled my head.

The number of opponents cannot be estimated..

There may have been more enemies gathered outside the office than expected, but in fact, the likelihood of that happening was significantly low..

The reason was because of the content of the report I received just a day ago..

Brakan made a request to the Intelligence Guild to understand Dmitry's situation, and received information about it yesterday..

Roman Dmitry's whereabouts are unknown.).

instead.

His minions found out that Dmitry exists..

Chris, Kevin, Henderson, etc. were all in Dmitry, and there was no report of any known troops moving separately..

That means. It was highly likely that Roman Dmitry moved alone..

If we assume that Ecorche understood the situation and made the decision to prevent escape, the situation was roughly correct..

It was reckless.

Not a common choice.

However, considering Roman Dmitry's actions so far, it was a realistic enough hypothesis..

Brachan said.

“……If Ecorche were to fall, the assassination industry would probably be turned upside down. Ecorche is by far the best assassination guild, except for the two major assassination guilds, Black Castle and White Moon. That means you're not in a position to slack off that much..”

changed my attitude.

I puffed up my body on purpose..

Scratching off the opponent's pride, aroused the spirit of winning..

“As you said, the emergency bell is a signal to summon my subordinates. There are dozens of assassins out there, do you think you can handle it? Roman Dmitry. I will admit that you are strong. But the longer you spend here, the more assassins, as well as Kronos' troops, will flock to you..”

It was a ploy to buy time..

People with a strong desire to win.

With remarks like the one you made now, there is a strong tendency to prove it rather than to run away..

If you do that, things went as planned..

It was clear that the guild members of Ecorche who stormed into the office were going to overwhelm Roman Dmitri with their sheer numbers..

however.

“There are about thirty troops remaining at Ecorche's headquarters. Excluding troops on missions, that would be the force you can currently mobilize. Bracan. I pray that it is not your power..”

Moment.

I got goosebumps.

Bracan could not hide his shaking eyes at the fact that he had already figured out Ecorche's strength..

Cracking.

The sound of footsteps coming from afar.

As if he had been waiting, Roman Dmitry stood up with a calm expression..

* * *

Guild members stormed in.

The first thing they saw was Roman Dmitry and Brakan bleeding on the ground..

“Master!”

“attack!”

no explanation needed.

The assassins rushed in at once..

They sprayed daggers from all directions to induce defense, and then attacked Roman Dmitry simultaneously..

It was a well-coordinated joint attack..

One for the head, one for the right, one for the left, and one for the legs..

And the assassins who arrived late also threw daggers, taking advantage of the opportunity for their colleagues to rush in..

It was a threatening sight.

When he was one step closer to death, Roman Dmitry swung his sword..

Papa Park.

All the daggers flew out..

At the same time, he grabbed the head of the rushing assassin and dragged him away, smashing his face into the wall..

Kwasik.

I heard an eerie sound.

Roman Dmitry left behind the corpse, which left a mark like a brush dipped in red paint, and turned his body to let go of all the incoming attacks..

The moment when you make eye contact with the other person. One flash of light blew off the opponent's head..

Then he leaned in close and smashed the opponent's face with one punch..

puck!

The human skull is hard.

It was indestructible to normal attacks, but it had no meaning in the face of Roman Dmitry's might..

narrow space.

Assassins and Roman Dmitry got tangled up..

Among the assassins, there were those who used auras, and they were experts at utilizing narrow spaces..

Crumbling rumbling.

The aura exploded..

Aura-manipulating assassins rushed at the front, and several figures moved along the walls, targeting blind spots on both sides..

I threw the dagger without even having time to catch my breath..

Normally, it would be a time to allow one or two wounds, but Roman Dmitry's presence did not waver even in a storm..

A dagger striking from three directions.

I avoided it.

The assassin predicted Roman Dmitry's direction and thrust his sword in, but his head was blown off before he could achieve his intention..

The end of the assassins rushing in from the side was no different..

Roman Dmitry pulled up one man's body and used it as a shield for his dagger, while another kicked him and smashed his face..

Blood splattered everywhere..

The blood of the assassins dyed the space red, to the point where the walls were dyed red..

one two.

corpses piled up.

The assassins seemed confident at first, but at some point they realized that things were not going well..

something is wrong.

Aside from the fact that Roman Dmitry is strong, Roman Dmitry did not display his aura even once from beginning to end..

Completely with physical strength. The fact that they were dealing with so many assassins made them realize that something was wrong..

But there is no retreat in the world of assassination.

People who live with death buried in their hearts know that one step back has irreversible consequences..

at last.

Suddenly-

Even the last assassin's head was blown off..

A frightened face appeared in the sky, and a headless body fell to its knees helplessly..

Just 5 minutes.

This was the time it took for the assassins that Ecorche boasted of to fall into the abyss of death..

* * *

Bracan was speechless..

It was shocking.

During the battle, he tried to attack with his remaining arm, but Roman Dmitry's overwhelming power prevented him from daring to do so..

My eyes were spinning. Even though he wasn't specifically using auras, it was difficult to see how Roman Dmitry would defeat his opponents..

What is certain is.

As blood splattered everywhere, the assassins inevitably met their deaths..

Jump and run.

Roman Dmitry didn't care about Brakan.

I brushed off the blood from my sword and walked forward, passing Brakan and heading towards the safe behind me..

And then.

Suddenly.

I cut it down in one fell swoop..

Ecorche's safe was not only made of steel, but was also made so that it could never be destroyed by physical force thanks to the magicians' strengthening magic..

However, it was cut so cleanly that it seemed pointless..

The steel fell away, revealing the contents inside, and Roman Dmitry checked the documents..

‘Ecorche is an assassination group whose main client is the Kronos Empire. In addition to assassinating me, we can guess Kronos' intentions based on what they are targeting..’

Palak.

handed over the documents.

After getting past the unimportant characters, we came to the content that caught our attention..

[1Assassination Calderon Drake]

[1Assassinate Count Rondon]

two figures.

It was a name Roman Dmitry was familiar with..

Calderon Drake is the eldest son of the Drake family, and his father, the Marquis Drake, can be said to be a key figure in the Kingdom of Umberto..

head of the military.

In a situation where the country was shaken by the ongoing war, he was a very upright person who insisted that there would be no compromise with Kronos until the end..

people said.

The moment Marquis Drake kneels on the battlefield, the Kingdom of Umberto will fall into chaos..

But if.

What would happen if the Marquess of Drake's son died?.

Even so, there were people talking about compromise with Kronos, and it was clear that Marquis Drake was convinced that it was the work of traitors..

It was a really simple way to overthrow Umberto's kingdom..

Even though it is not dealing with the powerful Marquis Drake, the Kronos Empire is able to collapse the Umberto Kingdom from within without much effort..

and the Count of Rondon.

The rich man of Redford, unlike his reputation as a miser, he was a hero who helped the country from behind the scenes..

The enormous debt incurred by the king.

The Count of Rondon moved east and west to solve it..

Knowing that once the conflict with the Golden Bank started, there was no turning back, he used his own wealth to stop the flames that spread throughout the country..

The amount of money already invested in this way was astronomical..

If he goes down, Redford will be in disarray, just like Humberto..

names of two characters.

That alone showed Kronos' intentions..

They did not seek to defeat their enemies through direct war, but rather induced strife among their opponents..

slowly.

If it gnaws away from the inside.

Even if all the kingdoms join forces, there will be no way to stop Kronos' attack..

Grumbling.

I burned the documents with Samadhijinhwa (三昧眞fire)..

OK.

“……Is there any way for me to survive?”

It was Bracan..

There was no hostile attitude to be found..

admitted defeat.

Roman Dmitry looked down at him for being so polite..

“does not exist.”

With those words at the end.

Suddenly.

Roman Dmitry blows off his opponent's head.

* * *

that time.

Cort ran like a man whose feet were on fire..

After a week of torture, my body was not healthy, and every time I stepped on the ground, a terrible pain shook my mind..

But I couldn't stop.

Now was not the time to worry about myself, as I knew that if things continued like this, Ecorche's stronghold would be dangerous..

I gritted my teeth.

I ran and ran again..

The cold dawn air bit the wound, but Cort gradually forgot the pain through his strong desire..

Pap-duk-duk.

‘Roman Dmitry. I will definitely take revenge.’

Living as an assassin.

I may forget grace, but I never forget resentment..

keeping yourself alive.

It was a huge mistake.

Kort arrived in a territory, not the Kronos Empire..

“No, what the hell is that??!”

It was the Cairo branch of the assassin guild Dante..

It is a group headed by Dante, a top assassin, and they have a friendly relationship with Ecorche..

Depending on the situation, they helped each other to the extent of joining forces or providing a safe home in a dangerous situation..

Dante's eyes widened..

Cort is a monster that even he cannot match, and his appearance is so pitiful..

“I don't have time to explain. First, bring a magic communicator, a magic communicator.!”

From Dmitry to Kronos.

time was running out.

Believing that the situation could not be resolved on foot, Cort planned to use a magic communicator to communicate the situation..

It was the best decision.

I brought a communicator that even provides a video screen, and immediately connected it to Ecorche..

“I can't connect?”

“Shit!”

The situation was unusual.

If Ecorche doesn't accept it.

The next best option was the client..

[By the looks of it, I guess I failed in my mission..]

beyond the screen.

The face of the client, Baron Charlton, came to mind..

Kort spoke in an urgent voice..

“Roman Dmitry anticipated our plan and laid a trap! All of Ecorche's assassins who attacked Dmitry were annihilated, and Roman Dmitry has now crossed the border of the Kronos Empire to attack Ecorche's stronghold. Baron Charlton. Now is your chance. If you move Kronos' forces and send them to Ecorche's stronghold, you can deal with Roman Dmitri.!”

I shouted desperately.

Despite Cort's words, which raised blood in his neck, Baron Charlton's expression did not change much..

[Is that the end??]

Moment.

Cort's expression hardened..

Surrounded by an unknown ominous feeling.

Only one possibility flashed in my mind..

“……no way.”

Kronos Empire.

They didn't expect Ecorche to succeed in the first place..
