＃When we returned, the family was ruined (98)
“It is one of the secret training halls owned by our black society.”
The place that Decal guided us to was the secret training ground. Inside the training hall, several executives were continuing their training.
The eyes of those wearing masks focused on the two people who came inside. Decal said while looking at Ethan.
“They are the core force of our black society. “Can we check the demonstration with them?”
It was precisely for this reason that the duke was led to the secret training hall.
If you were going to persuade someone, you had to finish it not only for yourself but also for the executives at once to avoid backlash.
Besides, wouldn’t it be possible to confirm for sure whether craftsmanship skills are truly useful only if there are more eyes to see? Ethan, who immediately understood the intention of the decal, nodded.
“Does not matter. “It’s actually good.”
“Can you tell me what the Duke wants to show me?”
“Simple. “It’s just the assassin’s swordsmanship and tricks.”
“…Is it possible that the Duke’s family had that type of swordsmanship?”
“no. “I created it.”
Marquis Bloten.
In the past, when he handed over materials containing information about the dragon race.
The materials he handed over at that time did not simply include orthodox techniques.
‘Shadow worshiper.’
One of the six dragon races, he was a dragon race that could literally hide in the shadows. It was one of the dragon tribes optimized for escorting important dragon tribes and assassinating hostile targets.
Surprisingly, the information the Marquis gave included information about the swordsmanship used by shadow worshipers.
‘It wasn’t very detailed information, though.’
It was enough to establish a minimal framework.
Just a few months ago, didn’t they come up with the dragon slayer sword after seeing the dragon swordsmanship used by some collateral families?
For Ethan, it was not difficult to use the tricks given to him by the Marquis.
Ethan, who was looking around, looked at the decal.
“Black socialism.”
“yes.”
“Swordsmanship and footwork. “Which of the two would you like to see first?”
“…If I had to choose between the two, it would be footwork.”
“Then try attacking me.”
“…yes? You may suffer fatal injuries. “Don’t you know to some extent the methods of our assassins?”
Black socialists waved their hands.
As he was the head of an organization, he had learned the secrets passed down from generation to generation in black society.
Even though he is an assassin.
Even in an all-out war, he was able to demonstrate that skill to some extent.
Assassination is an 8-star knight.
And in an all-out war, he has the ability to embarrass even a 7-star knight.
‘It is said that the Duke’s talent is very outstanding…’
In Decal’s opinion, it was a risky proposition. In his opinion, the duke’s mana amount did not seem likely to exceed 7 stars.
Moreover, the techniques he learned were all sword techniques with the trick of targeting the enemy’s blood vessels.
If you are not careful, the duke could be fatally injured.
The executives around me had similar reactions. No matter how skilled the Duke was, he had no idea what would happen if he faced a black socialist attack head-on.
It was then.
Ethan answered with a grin.
“The assassins are very cowardly.”
“…This is not a fearful decision, but a common sense decision. Besides, how could you hurt your benefactor?”
“Hmm. “It seems like black socialists have a really high level of self-consciousness.”
“…yes?”
“Do you think you can touch a single hair on my head with that skill?”
And that was not a surprise attack, but an all-out war.
Decal showed a puzzled face at Ethan’s words, but soon after, he trembled and spoke.
“Your words are a bit… harsh.”
“What can we do about something that is so obvious to the eye?”
Black socialist decal.
He still didn’t know that there was a sky above the sky.
No, I know.
‘I’m not really feeling it.’
The world is wide and there are many true experts who cannot be judged simply by the amount of mana.
Ethan understood.
Carmen.
I lived in a place that could be called a big city for decades, and I would never have bowed my head in regret to anyone.
In this case, the solution was simple.
All you have to do is make your whole body realize that the ground you are stepping on is actually underground, not above.
“If you don’t want to regret, swing the sword with all your heart. “Then let’s begin.”
It was the moment the conversation ended.
Ethan’s new brother came right in front of him in an instant. Black socialists were astonished by this very natural yet secretive method.
‘what!’
It felt as if a shadow had approached me without any sign of presence.
My eyes trembled for a moment.
The Black Socialist urgently pulled out the sword from his waist and quickly swung it.
It was not an attack aimed at bloodletting.
Because it was simply a sword swung to remove an approaching peacock.
however.
Contrary to his thoughts, the duke did not increase the distance at all.
Rather, he dodged the sword with just one step and was already aiming his great sword at Decal’s neck.
‘What the hell is this…’
Decal widened his eyes.
The great sword was not called the great sword for nothing.
It is called a great sword because it is much larger and heavier than an ordinary sword.
Not only did he approach so secretly that even he wouldn’t notice, with a weapon like that, but he took over the head in an instant?
It was an unbelievable result.
Loud!
Decals weren’t the only thing that saw incredible results.
Because the executives also saw it in real time.
“What… what?”
“The Black Socialist Lord was suppressed so easily?”
Black socialism!
What kind of person was he?
Except for a very small number of transcendents and superhumans in the West.
He was a man with such outstanding skills that he was known to the point that no one could take his mind off his assassination.
How could he be subdued so easily, like a child?
Even executives could not help but be shaken by the shocking results.
It was a time when the executives of the black society, including Decal, were unable to say anything.
“You already died once.”
“….”
Wow!
Decal chewed his mouth.
To an assassin, being exposed to blood was as shameful as a knight showing his back.
Normally, it was a profession where you had to live your whole life in the opposite direction to enjoy a long life.
Just a moment of anger.
Decal’s head gradually grew cold.
‘…He’s a huge expert.’
An exceptional expert whose level cannot be guessed by simply looking at the amount of mana.
Having seen the technique just now, I had no choice but to admit it.
“…yes. “He died.”
but.
The reason the sword was pointed at his neck so easily was probably because he was careless.
“Please… please give me one more chance. “I will never let down my guard this time.”
“Sure.”
Ethan took a few steps back and looked at the decal.
“Are you ready?”
“…yes!”
“Let’s begin.”
This time, the Duke’s new model slipped away smoothly. Decal saw this and swung his sword with his eyes shining.
The place where his sword was aimed was the duke’s neck.
There was no hesitation once I found out that he was a more expert than me.
Like a poisonous snake writhing in the dark, Decal’s sword created several sword images.
Sigh!
With a sharp crack, his sword grazed the duke’s neck.
However, there was no distinct taste of cutting flesh at all.
‘…what?’
Even though I couldn’t stab him properly, I definitely saw the sword pass through his neck.
I saw it clearly.
That was the moment I thought about it.
The Duke’s new form in front of me flowed down to the floor as if it was melting.
“You died twice.”
“…!”
The familiar voice coming from behind sent chills all over Decal’s body.
The moment I turned my head to the side.
He was able to face the huge sword pointed at his neck.
‘How on earth!’
Decal was not as careless as before. That was the reason why he used the arcane swordsmanship he learned in the Black Society.
But what does this result mean?
I couldn’t follow that step with my own eyesight.
There was no way that even the most expert Decal could have identified a footwork that he had not seen before. The interior of the secret training hall was already full of confusion and turmoil.
“What kind of walking method is this…?”
“Eumyeongbo.”
Shadow method.
It was a simple name, but I wondered if there was a better name for it.
“Would you like to try some more?”
“That footwork… is it not only possible to dodge, but also to avoid a frontal attack?”
“This can be happen.”
“Ha…can you show me just one time? I will utilize the best arcane swordsmanship learned in the Black Society. “If you can completely avoid even this, I will admit it.”
“Sure.”
Ethan nodded willingly.
It was a somewhat profane statement to stab the duke in front of him.
‘Good.’
Ethan had been hoping for this from the beginning. Wouldn’t you sincerely agree with what you say when you know that even if you go on the offensive with all your might, it won’t work?
Decal, seeing Ethan standing still, swallowed his saliva and said.
“…Can we begin?”
“So be it.”
“I’m really coming!”
Decal, who shouted as if warning, spun the mana spread throughout his body.
Sura sword (修羅劍).
It was an offensive sword technique that could only be used at the last moment when you came face to face with someone with a deadly sword technique.
His sword began to pierce blood vessels in dozens of directions.
Increased sword strikes.
Every time he continued using Sura Sword like that, Dekal was astonished.
Neck, shoulders, spine and even the heart.
Even though he was swinging his sword aiming only at fatal blood loss.
The duke was dodging all of his attacks, leaving behind only a faint trace, like a candle about to go out.
Even though every last handful of mana was squeezed out, the result did not change.
“…Huh! “Huh!”
“Are we finished?”
“….”
Decal looked blankly at the Duke.
“Do you think you can touch a single hair on my head with that skill?”
When I first heard it, it was a question that sounded extremely arrogant.
but now.
I thought I knew why the duke said that.
“Ha ha ha….”
He already knew.
The gap between the two is so deep that it cannot be bridged.
“….”
Unlike Decal, who smiled in frustration, the executives maintained a heavy silence.
‘…Are you able to avoid all of the Sura swords?’
What is even more surprising is that even amidst the onslaught of black socialism, the duke did not take even a single step.
The executives who realized this fact belatedly let out silent astonishment.
‘…oh my god!’
‘…It’s a monster.’
They are real monsters that even hundreds of people cannot fight against.
The rumors that shook the West turned out to be insufficient compared to his true skills.
Everyone here clearly realized this.
“…You told us that we were not frogs in the well.”
“It did.”
“I understand that perfectly. If… we end up in the duke’s arms… Can we get out of that well?”
“I will help you do that.”
It was a calm answer, but because of that, it was an even more trustworthy answer.
Ethan said after looking around at the people around him.
“Even if you come under me, the basic principles are the same. You might be able to dig up information and sometimes even order an assassination. “One thing I can promise you is…”
Ethan said while looking around at the people in the secret training hall.
“It means we will kill someone who deserves to be killed.”
“What is the standard for someone who deserves to be killed?”
“I’m talking about a piece of trash. “You’ve seen it a lot so far, haven’t you?”
“Hehe… These conditions are too good for an assassin.”
Not only can you acquire better technology, but it is also an opportunity to experience a wider world.
The only thing you have to do in return is to kill someone who deserves to be killed.
For the assassins, it was a proposal that could not have been better.
Decal looked around at the executives and nodded. If such an offer had come from somewhere else, I would not have easily accepted it no matter how great the technology was.
However, the person in front of me now was the head of the Ardan duchy, a family that had benefited me in the past.
There was no more hesitation.
Decal said while looking at the executives gathered in the secret training hall.
“…As of today, I will be under the duke’s command. “What are you going to do?”
I already knew about the conditions presented by the duke. When the executives were gathered here, Decal had already told them about the conditions.
“It would be difficult for you to leave us alone and go alone. “Didn’t we already say we would follow the Lord’s opinion?”
The executives all nodded. Decal saw that and fell to his knees.
“Will you accept our black society?”
Ethan nodded.
“From now on, we will serve you as our lord!”
“I will treat you as my lord!”
Even dozens of executives knelt down together.
Bringing in the black community.
The job was completed successfully.
