Kuro no Maou

hed with a shaky, pathetic voice.

“Who will miss this chance——“

I raised my voice, and cheered myself up.

I forcibly escaped the stakes while tearing the pierced parts of the robe.

I swung my baton and materialised bullets and at the same time brought out 10 long swords this time.

Moreover, I hold the cursed hatchet [Tsujigiri] in my left hand.

“Sariel! I’ll kill you here and stop the crusaders!!”

“Is that so……”

Facing my full magical energy as well as bloodlust head, there was not a single change in her sculpture like face.
She didn’t even take a stance with her spear.

That’s fine, that composure of yours will become my chance of winning—-

“Let’s go!!”

“Because I’m the supreme commander of the Crusaders.”

Sariel definitely said that.

If not for those words, right now I would have been running along with Lily on the highway.

But, I recklessly challenged Sariel, no, that’s not it, lives are on line here.
This is an assassination.

[Assassination] is to kill by using a gap in the opponent’s defence.
If going by those words, then this moment is Sariel’s ‘gap’.

As the top of the Crusaders, to have appeared without any guards; if there was an assassin, there was not any better situation than this.

Even now, not a single soldier has come to assist Sariel and it’s still one-on-one.
Conveniently, for some reason, Sariel is not trying to kill me.

If she wanted, she could pierce through my heart any time no doubt about it.
But to have tried to pin me to the wall is a proof.

This robe is a high class good with defensive ability higher than a steel plate mail.
For a second I was worried that the robe had lost its magic and become a normal cloth.

Basically, my life is in danger.
This is the only chance for me to defeat her.

But why did I have to take this chance with my life on the line?

If it was the me 2 months earlier, I had nothing more important than my own life.
I would never put it in danger.

But, now I have things I want to protect even at the cost of my life.

Lily and Irz village, even though it hasn’t been very long, I still can’t let the Crusaders do whatever they want.

I will never trust these bastards who wear crosses.
I don’t care if it was something wished by God, but that’s nothing more than using a god’s name to kill, steal and destroy.

In the end, the Crusaders are big enough to have invaded and occupied Daidalos.

If the Daidalos army fell to them means that the Crusaders are very strong.
I don’t know if even other countries would be able to win against them.

But what will happen if the top of the Crusaders is killed here? I don’t know how the chain of command of Crusaders work but if the commander dies then an organisation shouldn’t be able to sustain itself.

I don’t know how much authority Sariel herself possesses, but I do know that she is a major part of their military force.

If the top loses, the invasion plan would definitely be largely affected, or maybe, it might end all together.
At least the effect would be much better than fighting the whole Crusaders head on.

But, that’s only if I am able to successfully complete this assassination.

I am well aware of how strong Sariel is.
In terms of level, it’s a gap between 1 and 100.

But, even if this is a magic world, doesn’t mean it’s a game world.
There are always ways if you want to ‘just kill’ someone.

It doesn’t matter how hard I have to try if I can just kill her, I’m fine even if I am able to take her down together with me.

If that can save Lily and the villagers, then I’ll bet my life as many times as I can!!
