Hwaat- The miyaw’s claws scratched Shin Nara’s neck. However, it was rather shallow to be flustered. It was natural that once caught on his nails, the target would turn gray, but what was with her reaction?

The miyaw’s nails could not penetrate her neck, which had been coated in a glistening white liquid, as if it had been candied. It just slipped as the nails drew a few thin solid lines.

“Psss?! Toad poison?”

Petyr’s center of gravity was shaken by the unexpected sensation, and at that moment, Shin Nara’s skill was cast. 

“-attaque! ”

“Uwaaa! Slow, slow!”

It was a sword shot like a snake, however, it was not able to catch the squirrel-like cat. Even though it was a posture that would have completely collapsed if it was human, the Miyaw, who walked on four legs, was able to endure. Shin Nara’s counterattack was only able to shave a little bit of hair from Petyr’s body.

“Tsk, Biyemi-ssi! Push him!”

Shin Nara shouted in front of the king’s bed. If they left the king’s presence against that quick guy, something unstoppable would happen.

“Kikis, leave it to us! Tale-nim!”

“Let’s go quickly, Biyemi-nim! Fire dash!”

Tale’s sword lit up as he held his sword in a drawing posture. As the name suggest, Tale’s body moved. It had a similar move in kumdo, it was an attack in a straight line, and it quickly narrowed the distance, Petyr smiled and waved his arms. 

“Pfft, with only these things-”

“I knew it would be like this. Poison resin!”

Biyemi cast and green grains seeped out, as the lizardia moved to support Tale, he spat out poison as much as he could. The lump of green poured down, passed through Petyr’s body, and fell to the floor. Even standing still, he couldn’t help but laugh at the attack that couldn’t hit him.

“Pffft!”

“Kikis, it’s still too early to laugh! Tale-nim!”

“Prick!”

The flaming sword pierced towards Petyr’s neck with precision. Of course, such an attack was meaningless to an assassin who could avoid it without having to respond. The lizardia chased after the miyaw, who turned and avoided the attack.

“Aren’t you fast for a wizard?”

Swiik. Biyemi swung his dagger. Petyr recognized the dark turquoise-covered dagger. And that he should never run into that.

“Kiik-!”

So he hesitated and backed away, and his face wrinkled for the first time. Because the miyaw noticed something clinging to the fur of his feet.

“Resin containing poison……. I wasn’t able to avoid it with skill?” 

His raised cheekbones slowly went down. As his face, which had been smiling all the time, became serious, tension quickly revolved around the room.

“That dagger……. And you reading my movements as if anticipating it……. As well as the poison resin that seals evasion skills……. You’re probably-”

His eyelids tightened and glared at Biyemi. However, he was not able to easily recognize the scaly lizard’s face. Most importantly, no one would watch when they are able to see the gap. If his movement was sealed, this would be the only chance!

“Exodus Sword (出道劍)!”

Tale’s feet moved like water. It was an unavoidable attack if the target’s skills were locked.

“-I guess you know me. But that’s just the ‘old me’. Puhihihi, ‘Shadow Switch’!”

“New skill?”

Biyemi’s eyes widened as well. Petyr, who got caught in the poisonous resin, and Tale, who was rushing, switched in an instant.

“Cough?! T-This-”

The person standing on the poison resin was Tale. And in his previous position, Petyr was located. As the poison that sealed skills seeped into Tale’s skin, the fire in his sword went out. And because Tale had a similar level to Biyemi, the effect was greater. 

Shin Nara still had to protect the king, Tale’s skills were sealed, and Biyemi could not stop Petyr by himself! The fortunate thing was that the three of them have been fighting for a long time now. Petyr knew well that the sleeping gas was running out of time.

“Puhihihi, besides Shin Nara, will ‘Biyemi’ and ‘Tale’ keep blocking’? 42 days?”

“Shut up, you animal! I will stop you without fail!”

“Uhihihi, all I need is a second out of 42 days! One second is enough to cut off the king’s head! But you? Puhihihi, how about you?! If it’s 42 days, there are still 1,008 hours left 60,480 in minutes! And in seconds?”

Petyr walked on all fours to the king’s bedroom. He showed a natural four-legged walk and had a clear sense of ease with his tail. Although he would not be able to kill the king right away, he was confident that he would be able to get out of this place.

“Puhihihi, it’s 368,000 seconds! While you have to keep him alive for 368,000 seconds, I only need a 1-second gap! Isn’t it obvious who would win this game?” 

They wanted to pierce Petyr’s body right away, but Shin Nara and Biyemi stopped themselves Petyr stood up on both feet and gestured like a gentleman. 

“It’s a pity, but I have to step back today, see you next time! Puhihih! This is just a preview!”

Shhh- The cat hid in the dark. Shin Nara, Biyemi, and Tale did not relax until his presence was definitely gone.

“He’s gone.”

Tale clenched his teeth. He thought he was quite familiar with fighting against humans and monsters. Tale thought it was a pity that he wasn’t familiar with the movements of the miyaw race, what was worse was that he was against Petyr, the 5th in the global ranking.

“Tsk, I got it all……”

Shin Nara made a sound of regret. However, ‘I got it all’ was an inappropriate expression.

“Now they won’t have a choice but to believe.” 

Biyemi did not even laugh. There was only one card left against Petyr, who was stronger than he expected.

-The sparrow went out of the basket. The grain is unharmed.

-Copy. Waiting for a catcher.

“Phew-“

In the dark, the night wind fluttered in Leeha’s hair. Now the ball has been passed to him.

‘He really came……’

When he heard the story from Kidd, he didn’t expect it. But as soon as Lotzac showed abnormal behavior, he immediately appeared like this.

‘Their connection with each other has become even stronger.’

Leeha bit his lip. If he knew this would happen, it would have been better if he called everyone and prepared. If the king’s bedroom not only had Shin Nara, Tale, and Biyemi, but also, Ram Hwajeong, Bobae, Kijeong, and Jacheong, the situation would have ended. Even the miyaw, who was similar to a human only with strange movements, would not have been able to escape from those people.

‘It’s too late to think about it now. A lot of hours would have passed if I log out now and call them…. Now, I have to focus.’

There was only one goal, Petyr. Leeha took out the Black Bass’s magazine, checked the five bullets, put them back together, and quietly pulled the bolt to load one shot. Click! He watched from the central tower during the day, however, he did not see Petyr. It probably meant that Petyr made use of the darkness of the night after Lotzac tried his best in preventing the trap from working properly.

‘He could come whenever he wants. But when he gets out……’

Its been a week since the surveillance was created at the central tower of the royal palace. The structure of the palace as well as the trap locations were .invisible from the ground but visible in the air In addition, what if one considered Petyr’s condition of getting out in a hurry?

The sound of a small beast running on the grass reached Leeha’s ears.

‘He is moving right about here.’ 

However, the darkness was deep. The light magic of the royal palace, which was regularly arranged, could not illuminate the square’s shadow. He was also well aware of that fact.

-Ram Hwayeon! Fire!

In an instant, red grains gathered from the top of the tower of the central palace, where Leeha and Bobae stood guard all along.

In the quiet night of the royal palace, a woman’s voice spread like ripples.

Marble Flare!

Whaaak-!

Red and yellow flames spread through the darkness into the sky of the royal palace.

Like the northern lights of the north pole, the flames that spread through the air illuminated the ground as if it were the sun.

“Ohoo! Suprise fireworks?!”

Petyr made the awning with his hands and looked up at the sky. He couldn’t even open his eyes properly because of the sudden brilliance. In other words, it was already too late when Petyr realized that there was another figure watching him in the dark.

“No, this is the real surprise.”

Even the light that lit up the night sky could not bring out the luster of the weapon Leeha was holding. The matte black gun and muzzle of the [Legendary Black Bass] that beyond musket was aimed precisely at Petyr’s chest. With the knee-shooting posture intact, Leeha pulled the trigger.

Baang–!

The sound of the gunpowder explosion was different from the sound of a musket firing. The monstrous bullet with an estimated attack power of more than 17,000 ripped the heart of the beast apart.

[Intimacy with Fibiel’s Royal Family increased by 5%.]

“Phew…”

Leeha slowly cleared his breathing. There was a hole in Petyr’s chest, but the miyaw’s eyes were staring straight at Leeha.

“Puhihi, I will remember you, ‘Ha Leeha’.” His face, like a clown’s mask, was full of blood, and it was terrifying, but Leeha did not avert his eyes. “Remember me dearly.”

Kuung, the miyaw’s body spread across the palace ground. Leeha whispered to everyone.

-The situation has ended, the situation has ended. The sparrow was shot by the gunner.

– Waaaah-?! Really?! You really killed him, Leeha-ssi?

-As expected! Ha Leeha-kun, I knew you would definitely do it.

-What, you were able to catch him because of my light! Don’t pretend that you did it yourself!

While the whispers of Shin Nara, Tale, and Ram Hwayeon, filled with joy, echoed through Leeha’s mind, a quiet foreboding sentence was heard.

– Petyr’s dead?

-Yes. Biyemi-nim, please come quickly too.

-What about the body? Body?

Hearing the urgent voice, Leeha tilted his head. Normally, Biyemi was the kind of person who would laugh and say that he was surprised….

-The body? It is in the garden with a punctured chest-

And when he turned again, Leeha could understand Biyemi’s concern.

-No, it’s not there! It disappeared-

Looking around, Leeha had no choice but to shout.

“Stop, Petyr!!!”

Because the miyaw, who had a hole in his chest, was crawling on the ground on all fours. With a click, he immediately pulled the bolt to reload. Now, he didn’t need time to reload, he didn’t even need to use skills. 

When he tried to pull the trigger toward the miyaw by lifting the [Black Bass] again, which produced higher attack power than a skill of a musket with normal attack damage.

The duration of the marble flare has expired. The moment the light source that lit up the royal palace disappeared.

Baaang—!

A gunshot rang later.
