Helmut
Episode 130
“It looks like something that would appear in a nightmare.”
Asuka narrowed her eyes. It was even more brutal when I saw it in person. Since their height is superior to this one, it is clear that it will be difficult to deal with them.
A strong and merciless enemy. This is a man who would murder three young boys without hesitation. I got goosebumps.
‘If I make a mistake, I’ll die.’
Asuka checked her plan. Despite the rising tension, he was still smiling. The fear of death did not overwhelm him.
“There’s a guy with a swollen liver.”
Fasho was also smiling.
Although they are students at the prestigious Greta’s School of Swordsmanship, they are only three 15-year-old boys.
If Fasho couldn’t handle that much, he wouldn’t have been part of Hawkeye.
Fasho is a strong man with countless practical experiences. It was not a situation where he could use his special skills as an assassin, but rather it was an unfavorable situation.
Time was limited and the target was sane and on guard.
What he needs to do now is to kill them quickly and accurately.
The target was placed where it was headed, so even if it came back alive, it would have lost some of its strength.
If you witness your friend’s corpse at that time, no matter how steel your spirit is, it will inevitably crack.
He’s a guy who doesn’t give up on his friends, so he’s going to be quite shaken up. Shake yourself physically and mentally and take advantage of the opportunity. That’s how he hunts his target.
‘But there’s no need to kill them all.’
Fasho was the type of person who preferred to minimize problems.
“Hmm, what do you like? “I’m going to make a suggestion. Why don’t you listen to it?”
“What is the offer?”
Asuka asked quickly. The other guys are too nervous to open their mouths anyway.
Fasho chuckled.
“If you leave alone this commoner who is fluttering in front of me right now, I will spare the other two.”
Asuka’s expression hardened. For some reason, he was conscious of the two guys behind him. Asuka is always suspicious. If these two weaklings caught up with him, he was dead, regardless of his original plan.
Fasho spoke eloquently in a devil-like androgynous voice.
“how is it? Noble brats. If you’re saving the lives of two nobles while handing over a commoner, there’s no need to worry. “It’s ridiculous to put the lives of nobles and commoners on the same scale!”
That was largely true. It was definitely like that until I joined Greta Academy.
But for some reason, when an assassin says something like that, the way of thinking that was previously taken for granted feels bad.
James and Andro locked faces.
“Now, there’s no doubt about it. We at Black Hawk do not touch nobles carelessly. I’m giving you guys a chance. “A chance to make the most important choice in life!”
His voice lowered somberly.
“Being weak is not a sin. The choices you make when your life is at stake are not sins. Now, the rest is up to you guys. Live or die!”
Fasho liked seeing the ugly side of humans. It would be fun in its own way if the two noble masters who were classmates at the academy left that commoner behind. It will be an example of realistic friendship.
Asuka snorted. He’s a guy better suited to being a businessman than an assassin. He says it so captivatingly that it’s tempting.
In fact, he was a little anxious, but he asked calmly.
“So Andro James. What do you guys think? “Do you want to hand me over and go back to living comfortably?”
Even then, it was an undertone of criticism, asking whether you guys could sleep with your legs stretched out. But his anxiety was useless.
“Of course not. “How can you believe that?”
“Don’t make fun of the sword family’s pride!”
The former was James, the latter was Andro. What Andro said was a bit cooler, so James looked embarrassed.
‘Your child is in good form. Hey, I don’t know. If you die, you die!’
If you live, you will live, and if you die, you will die. Now all that remains is to struggle. James raised his sword.
“I don’t care what you say. “If you’re going to fight, come at me!”
It was too much ambition compared to his skills. Fasho clicked his tongue.
“After all, young children don’t know that their lives are a waste.”
A bright blue dagger was held in both of his hands. Dual-wielding dagger technique. This was Fasho’s specialty.
“It’s too late to regret it. “You chose death, so I’ll make you pay!”
His body was quickly tackled by the three boys. It was the beginning of the battle.
***
The large rocky hill has become a shape that can no longer be called by its name. The huge rock fell sideways, and the surface where it fell and hit the ground was partially crushed, sending dust flying around.
Before collapsing at the end of the crash site, broken rock pieces were piled up like a tomb near the head of the rock.
Suddenly, there was silence, as if it had been a long time since the noise had engulfed the place.
It was then.
– Coog play.
A sound like something being scratched was heard, and a large rock bounced and rolled across the floor.
A hand suddenly popped out from where the rock had been. Then, the surrounding rock pieces collapsed.
Helmut escaped from the stone tomb and breathed a sigh of relief.
“I almost died.”
It was the first time I felt my heart pound like this since I was chased by Naho in the Forest of Pahe.
I learned that it is not good to be overconfident.
Why did I take the risk? Because of the pride of wanting to finish everything perfectly?
Or maybe he also changed as a person. Because he couldn’t leave his friend to die because of him. If that’s the reason.
Helmut pulled out the dino from underneath him. Thanks to the fact that he was still unconscious, Dino was quite fine. Although he was almost trampled, there were no major injuries. Except for the pre-cut fingers.
In any case, being crushed by a person is better than being crushed by a rock.
It was fortunate that I was unconscious. If you had witnessed it in person, you would have experienced a situation so severe that you would have panicked.
There are many wizards in the academy, so they might be able to heal some wounds.
“My hands are sore.”
Helmut finally put the sword he had been holding until it hurt, to his waist.
The moment the rock struck, Helmut snatched Dino and pulled out his sword at the same time.
It is impossible to completely escape the collision range. However, upon reaching the end, some of the rocks are crushed with a sword.
That was Helmut’s plan that came to mind in an instant.
It was also the most uncertain plan he knew. Because although he has split people, he has never split rocks.
“What matters is that you succeeded.”
My whole body was covered in wounds. There were no major wounds, but small chafing and scratches made it throbbing.
A lot of Vis was also consumed. It burned demon energy and even destroyed rocks. Is there more than half of it left?
Still, I don’t think I will lose against Fasho. It wasn’t arrogance.
“Now I have to go deal with that pervert. “I don’t know if they’ll be okay.”
Dino was saved. Helmut, who was carrying him around, looked back towards the rock for a moment.
I could only guess how that huge thing fell. The rock had already lost its balance and was delicately maintained by magical power. The magic has been taken away.
“Is it a small piece?”
Although he didn’t feel any presence, Helmut was concentrating on burning demon energy. It wouldn’t be surprising if he didn’t feel it when he approached the other side of this big rock.
This guy probably has such mediocre skills that he can’t even get close to Helmut and stab him with his sword.
Otherwise, they would have attacked while Helmut was focusing on Dino for a moment.
‘There is no time to waste.’
Helmut immediately kicked off the floor and jumped up. Return to the campsite in the same way as before. It will take a little more time than when it arrived.
Until then, I can only hope that Asuka and James Andro will endure well.
***
“Ugh!”
James screamed. My shoulder was cut by a sword. A sharp pain rushed up.
James’ entire body was already covered in blood. Blood poured out from where the dagger cut. Andro and Asuka, watching from the side, were also shocked.
“You are a very cruel young man.”
Fasho stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. This bloody scent is fragrant. My mood is heightened. The smell and the moan of fresh game as it bleeds out are both satisfying.
This mission was a golden opportunity to kill a nobleman. I gave up that opportunity and showed mercy, but it was rejected, so is there any right?
‘No matter how much time is limited, you can’t give up having fun.’
It wasn’t something I did just to have fun. Since there are three people holding the camp, no matter how weak the opponent is, they cannot attack at random.
Although we had never practiced otherwise, the three of us worked well together, perhaps because we went through the same training every day. But Fasho knew how to deal with them.
‘If you attack the weak side, the camp will collapse.’
Fasho immediately saw who the most vulnerable of the three was. It was James.
He blatantly targeted only James, stabbing him with a dagger whenever he got the chance.
It is impossible for an ordinary second-year academy student to completely block the dagger of a first-class mercenary-level assassin.
James, with eggs all over his body, looked like a living piece of meat.
‘It can’t go on like this.’
Asuka frowned. About 10 minutes have passed. Time passed slowly. No matter how fast Helmut runs, he won’t be able to come back already.
Looking at what he’s doing, I’m sure he’s up to something there too.
In an emergency situation, they had to figure out how to fight Fasho on their own.
Fasho took a breather. He knew how to control his pace. After acting so leisurely, he stabs me all at once.
Each time, his attack was effectively used against James.
Whether it’s quickness or technique, there is an incomparable difference. The other two, especially Asuka, were quick, but it was impossible to stop them all.
‘If things continue like this, James won’t be able to fight anymore.’
It’s still at stake. James, bleeding from repeated attacks, was becoming noticeably duller.
When your body becomes weak, your mind also becomes weak. Fear filled his eyes.
If James falls, this camp will be completely destroyed. The assassin will not miss any crack in the once-shattered balance and will dig into it.
If so, it would be better.
Asuka suddenly declared.
“Hey, don’t be like this, let’s go one-on-one with me.”
“Asuka!”
Andro shouted in astonishment. In his eyes, Asuka looked like she was crazy because she wanted to die.
“You were talking earlier as if I must be killed. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be easier to fight with just me?”
“What kind of arrogance is it when all you can do is defend with three to one?”
“What is arrogance? I think I’ll win. you? Do you think you’ll lose?”
Asuka shook her head. That act was enough to provoke Fasho. He was the kind of person who couldn’t stand a young guy being arrogant.
Underneath the mask, Fasho’s mouth was torn apart.
“Okay, I’ll give you time to clean up your friend.”
“Andro, take James and step back. You don’t need it either. “I do it alone.”
It would also be difficult if an assassin suddenly rushed in and took James hostage.
If the two of them couldn’t move as one body, it was better to just take Andro out.
If two insignificant guys can last this long against a first-class mercenary-level assassin, they’ve done their job.
‘You can’t expect much from people who aren’t capable.’
Helmut, the chief, had gone to rescue Dino, so now it was up to him, the deputy, to deal with the assassin.
