Chapter 115. Kang Sebin (2/2)

“You should be thankful that you’ll leave here today alive.”

“You must be crazy.”

Kang Sebin’s lips twitched.

This kid was mad.

At this moment, a bright red light appeared from Kang Sebin’s sword.

Bang-!

Cho Ryu Hyang stood unflinching, even after a red gang qi blasted past him.

A man had blocked the gang qi for him.

It was No Jin Nyung.

The usual playfulness was completely gone from his face.

He was looking at Kang Sebin with a maddened look.

“Who the hell do you think you are to try and touch him? Hm? You bastard, I’ll test the strength of your bones personally today.”

Craack-

When No Jin Nyung made a threatening face as he cracked his fingers like a backstreet thug, Kang Sebin made a surprised face.

Someone like this dumbass blocked his attack?

‘A harmonious expert?’

Kang Sebin’s cheeks began to tremble lightly.

Wasn’t this nice?

It was exceedingly rare to come across a harmonious expert.

Of course, this meant that the chance to have a fight with these people was low as well.

Plus, Kang Sebin was a man who thirsts for battle.

Meeting No Jin Nyung here was like finding an oasis in the middle of the desert.

“Come and get me, idiot.”

Kang Sebin straightened his posture and gripped his blade.

It looked like the man was about to charge in at any moment.

A black aura began to come out of No Jin Nyung at this time.

The aura seemed to pressure everything in its surroundings.

No Jin Nyung had taken his incomplete technique to its limits.

He let out a snort and walked forward.

Boom-!

“I’ll rip your spine right off.”

When No Jin Nyung punched after saying this, Kang Sebin smiled a toothy grin.

‘A chance.’

There was a woman hidden amongst all the experts of the church.

Due to her average face, she seemed a little hard to recognize out of the crowd.

The woman’s name was ‘Hwaryeong.’

She was an assassin planted by the Four Families.

She, who had managed to sneak in even under Sunwu Cho Rin, had but one goal.

‘Cho Ryu Hyang.’

She was aiming for the heir’s life.

Hwaryeong was very confused when she first got her mission.

The heir of the church… the future pope…… it was an extremely powerful position, but that wasn’t important.

The person she needed to kill was a child.

Why couldn’t the Four Families kill someone like that by themselves?

Well, after watching him for a bit, she could see that the boy was pretty talented.

‘But that’s it.’

Talented or not, the boy was still human.

A single stab should finish him off nicely.

‘Death is fair to everyone.’

Hwaryeong moved quietly to the heir.

This was the perfect chance.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the current battle.

Hwaryeong looked around Cho Ryu Hyang quietly.

‘One, two…… three, four…….’

There were about twenty people stationed around Cho Ryu Hyang.

Mara’s Heavenly Wind Division.

The strongest troop within the church, who acted as the pope’s direct bodyguards.

They, too, were drawn to the fight in front, which made their guard at the back a little weak.

She could see them catching any debris that was about to fly into the heir.

Hwaryeong suppressed her smile.

‘I’m sorry, heir, but you’ll have to go with me.’

She was dead anyway, no matter what she did.

She was absolutely certain that she’d die before confirming her kill.

‘But it’s not that bad if it’s now, is it?’

Assassins like her were tools.

It would be pretty good to take herself out with someone as tremendous as the heir.

Hwaryeong comforted herself while saying this and moved.

She had found her chance.

‘Now!’

She could see Cho Ryu Hyang’s neck.

Once she took out a knife, however.

Cho Ryu Hyang turned to look at her.

He seemed exceedingly calm.

‘Eh?’

Something was weird.

She had never anticipated this happening.

At this moment, a warning went off in her brain.

And once the heir put something down on the floor, her vision went dark.

“Lord heir!”

Lim hak Gyum quickly emerged from the shadows to protect Cho Ryu Hyang.

He made a confused face when he saw what had happened.

Somebody who was approaching Cho Ryu Hyang had just disappeared.

“I’m fine.”

“…….Yes.”

When Lim Hak Gyum looked around a little longer and tried to leave, Cho Ryu Hyang opened his mouth.

“Not that way. I trapped her there.”

“Ah!”

It was a formation.

Lim Hak Gyum looked at the heir as if he was looking at a monster.

Even he felt threatened when he felt something come closer to him, he could not react on time.

Someone who learned assassination all her life had tried to kill the heir.

He reacted far too late to her movements.

But the heir seemed to anticipate all this before it even happened.

‘Just what is he……’

It seemed that the heir had something other than just formations.

Just as Lim Hak Gyum was thinking this,

A red eye blinked once above Cho Ryu Hyang’s head, then disappeared.
