Chapter 19

As soon as it became clear that the pincer attack had failed, several arrows caht

Then, a man whose presence was clearly different for the other assailants, started running towards Lunaria while wielding a two-handed sword He was likely the commander of the assassins

Perhaps he had judged that he could no longer afford to start by neutralizing Kurats

【”Hey, c’ht, that’s just rude”】

Normal arroithout any mana in them were absolutely not a threat for Kurats

However, the two-handed sword of thewith mana

Although there was no telling what kind of effect was added to the sword by thetrump card

『If you can, try to catch hi the assassins who has communicated with their employer, it must be this man』

(Alright, alright… Hmm?)

At that e poined itself around Kurats’ foot

(―― Now’s the time! )

Thought Mordred, as clenching his teeth as he watched the progress of the fight

Even though Kurats was a hts in physical combat In Mordred’s case, the first surprise attack alone would have been enough to end him

Sicne he ell aware of that, Mordred’s irritation and jealousy towards Kurats was growing more and more

With the way things were, it see any time to intervene

But Mordred’s inner-crisis had only lasted a few moments before he saw the head of the assassins rush towards Lunaria

For a brief instant, he hesitated

(Should I defeat the assassin now and save the princess?)

However, as soon as Kurats moved Lunaria towards his back in order to protect her, Mordred made his decision

―― “He came to the palace out of nowhere and suddenly obtained the rank of baron, he’s aa close retainer of the king, likeas he is alive, this frustration and this hatred that seems to be fated to burst out of my chest will never disappear!”

【” ‘Bind’ “】

With a low voice, Morded whispered the incantation of a spell

Although he was lacking, Mordred was the still the head of the royal court’s es, and his “bind” spell was so powerful that it could even bind a top-notch knight

“I’ve never tried it but I’, would never be able to get rid of ht Mordred

However…

【”And there it goes”】

Kurats only had to use a little bit of extra strength to get rid of thethe lower half of his body

To Kurats, who had not been using ht, Mordred’s ic restraint was no trouble

After that, Kurats caught the assassin’s sith his thuer, and then drove a

The kick was so nonsensically powerful that at thedid not si

【”Woops, sorry I didn’t hold back properly ’cause a certain fellow did so unnecessary and distracted me”】

Kurats s an intense pain and had fallen to the ground after losing both his leg and his balance

『The head of the royal court’s es is pathetic Is a restrictive pressure spell the only thing he can use in a range of at most a few hundred kilometers (miles)?』

(No, I think it would probably be plenty enough against a normal person)

Kurats suppressed his desire to mock Mordred, as likely very confused by this outcome which completely differed from his expectations, and he instead turned towards the assassin on the ground, as glaring at hiuish

【”Ugh!”】

With a single leg left, it was impossible for the assassin to escape

Nevertheless, his eyes did not show any will to give up on fighting, he was ready to attack

attack again

【”Look, even needles can’t pass through my skin So how could a normal sword ever wound me?”】

【”You… you freak of nature!”】

Realizing that his last h, the assassin hurled abuses at Kurats with great venom in his voice

At the saer to assassinate the princess, but to destroy the evidence instead

【”Yeah, sorry, I can’t let you kill yourself”】

As soon as the man prepared to bite the poison hidden in his back tooth, Kurats grabbed his head with his left hand and then shook it heavily

Thespeed, and before he could realize it, his consciousness had already fallen into darkness

【”Kurats! are you are alright?”】

When Lunaria finally ca was already over

She could still feel the touch of Kurats’ rugged hand on her right shoulder, even though he had let go of her already

Her heart continued to beat very fast, infor her that what she had just witnessed was not an illusion
