ALL NOVEL chapter 22
22 – Assassination of the 1st Princess (2)
A special hall at Reynolds Academy where a banquet is being held to commemorate the end of the midterm exam period.
Exciting atmosphere just a few minutes ago,
The banquet hall where excited hearts danced that the test was over,
“T-Terrorism!!”
“Run away!!!”
“Professors! Call the professors, quickly!”
As soon as 9 o’clock came, it turned into a mayhem.
“Move!!”
“Quick! Get out!”
Students running towards the door.
Due to the sudden terror, several people in panic pull the exit of the banquet hall roughly.
But-
– Rumbling!
“Crazy! The door is locked!!”
Because the banquet hall was locked with a magic barrier to prevent the targets from escaping,
The students inside were unable to go outside and were driven into a corner.
“Damn it! Don’t push me!!”
“Joe, go back a bit!”
The sound of the music that sounded calm just before disappears,
The laughter and chatter of the students turned into screams.
So most of the students run away to the corner,
When the center of the wide banquet hall became empty,
A few people standing in the center began to stand out.
As if the stage had been set.
A few people standing in the center of an empty banquet hall.
There are 10 assailants who appear to be the perpetrators of terrorism,
The academy’s rumored crazy prince, Raiden Lisitt, was in the middle of a confrontation.
Behind Raiden are the imperial princesses who seem to be the targets of this terror,
There was the first princess, Lucy von Lietro, and the second princess, Anna von Lietro.
The girls were sitting on the floor, staring blankly at Raiden Lisitt’s back.
“……”
A cold silence circulated between Raiden and the assailants in the confrontation.
The one who broke the silence was none other than the man with a great fighting spirit who had been exchanging words with Raiden until just now.
“Puh…! Puchup!! Puhhahaha!!!”
At the same time he burst out laughing, the robed men standing next to him also started laughing.
“Puhahahaha!!”
“Pu-hip… Kwu…!!!”
“Ha ha ha ha!!”
As if they heard a funny gag, they laugh until their belly button goes out.
“Oohhhh!!”
The assailants who laughed so much, finally started to tear up.
The man in the foreground, standing in front of him, wiped away his tears and caught his breath.
“Ah, sorry. Pooh… Big, I’m sorry for laughing all of a sudden.”
“……”
Raiden didn’t answer, and was looking at the assailants with cold eyes.
The man laughed so much that he rubbed his aching stomach gently.
“You say you’ll punish us… Does that mean you’re going to fight us…?”
“Little boy~ Go home and play hero~”
“The sword you’re holding is a wooden sword, not a real sword, right?”
The goons who laughed at Raiden as if they were laughing.
Among them, the man with the captaincy who had been talking to Raiden until just now spoke.
“Hmm… Did you say Leiden Recit?”
“……”
Raiden glared at him without answering.
His cold, hardened expression gave goosebumps to the onlookers.
The man with the great fighting spirit looked at Raiden and rubbed his chin.
“Hmm… About two years ago, there was one mission that failed.”
“Eh? Are there any missions that the captain fails?”
“Then why not? Get out of the way and don’t interfere.”
Saying so, the man pushed away the comrade who got between Raiden and himself.
And then he continued talking.
“It was probably a mission to kidnap the eldest son of a duchy.”
“What…?”
Raiden’s mouth opened.
The man continued talking as if he didn’t mind.
“It was a mission to miss the eldest son, who was the target, and kill only the poor Duchess…”
“Huh? Why did you kill the Duchess again?”
To the question interrupted from the side, the man replied scratching the back of his head.
“No… I had to go catch the escort knight who was escaping with my eldest son, but the Duchess kept sticking to me and blocking it.”
“So what?”
“I killed it and chased after the escort knight, but I was so quick on my feet, I eventually lost it.”
The man shook his head, as if regretting it.
Then he slightly turned his head to look at Raiden again.
“Anyway… the Duchess’s name is-“
Raiden’s pupil was shaking like crazy.
The man looked at him and smiled mischievously.
“-Philippa Lysitt, maybe?”
.
.
.
“-Philippa Lysitt, maybe?”
……Crazy f*ck.
what did i just hear
Is it Philippa Lysit?
Is that Raiden’s mother?
So… are you saying that one of the guys who killed Raiden’s mother is that captain in front of you?
As I was making a dumbfounded expression at a situation I didn’t understand, the man opened his mouth again.
“Hmm, that Duchess is really tenacious. Even if she cuts off her arms and legs, it was really impressive how she fought to the fullest.”
The man grinned as he said that.
Are you crazy…?
No, Raiden will be pissed off if you’re such a jerk…
-Chwiiyiing—!!!!
“Keuuuugh?!?”
Tinnitus rang loudly in my ears.
Feeling as if my eardrums would explode, I frowned and held my ears.
– Pounding
My heart beats violently.
As if it was on the verge of exploding, it thumped helplessly.
“Heh-uh… Heh-uh…”
It’s hard to breathe.
Something bubbling, was blocking the airway.
It felt as if boiling molten iron had been poured down my throat, and I felt dizzy or slightly staggered.
– Did you hear…? The corpse of the madam…
-Oh my God, that’s terrible…
– It’s so damaged that I can’t recognize its shape…
The conversation between the maids that Raiden had overheard in the mansion could be vaguely heard.
“Turn it off…!!”
Moaning, whether screaming or crying, comes out of his mouth.
What was contained in that groan was sadness and despair.
And anger that is about to explode.
kill.
sure to kill
The mind is dazed, and judgment is clouded.
All that pours into my empty head is anger, anger, anger.

Just before the reason that has become so blurry goes wild,
A familiar mechanical sound rang in my ears.
-Titling!
[Skill ‘Spirit of Iron’ resists ‘status abnormalities (overimmersion, anger, rage)’!]
[The overflowing emotions have stabilized.]
As several blue spears appeared in front of my eyes, my unstable breathing returned.
The anger that seemed to burn his throat slowly faded.
No, rather than a feeling of being fading, it was a feeling of being suppressed.
“Hee-euk… Hee-euk…”
I caught my breath and clenched my fists.
……
…what the f*ck was that?
For a moment, the whole initiative of the body almost passed to Raiden.
Right now, the state of my body is moving with the intentions of Raiden and Naru Kim mixed little by little.
However, just like that, it was different.
It felt as if Raiden had swallowed my consciousness.
My body trembled at the terrifying sensation.
Perhaps Raiden’s feelings were too strong, and he suppressed me for a moment and stuck his head out.
“Whoa…”
“Huh? Why are you like this all of a sudden?”
“Leave it alone, you must have been too shocked.”
“They say the person who killed their mother is right in front of them~”
The assailants giggled while exchanging stories with each other as I suddenly gasped for breath.
I’m sorry but that person is not my mother.
Raiden’s mother.
I muttered that to myself and sighed.
“ha……”
I feel dirty.
It was a very unpleasant feeling to be swallowed up by the emotions of others and almost lose my reason.
Even now, I sense that Raiden’s emotions will stir without hesitation.
Seeing that it burns without stopping even if it is suppressed with the ‘iron spirit’, it is possible to guess that Raiden’s anger is not ordinary.
haha… yes, I get it.
Because I lost my mother too.
As you.
right in front of my eyes.
Because he died trying to save me.
If it was another time, I would have cursed Raiden with anger inside, but I won’t do that this time.
No, I rather sympathize with him.
I know what a cruel pain it is to lose someone you love, someone who loves you.
Respond to his anger and sorrow.
I raise my closed eyes, blue and blue.
I glared at the man with anger, contempt, and disgust.
What’s so funny, the way you smile.
I gritted my teeth as I watched it.
– far away
you won’t die well
I muttered that and straightened my messy posture.
Then the monsters look at me.
“Oh~ What is it? It looks like you’re trying?”
“Well, let’s do it quickly. I think the professors will come soon.”
At those words, the man with a high profile nodded as well.
“We don’t have much time, we move fast.”
-Seureung
Following the man’s instructions, all the assailants drew their swords from their bosoms.
The man who had been fidgeting next to the captain from earlier stepped forward and took his stance.
“Sorry kid~ The guys are very busy, so let’s pass by?”
I frowned at those words.
What kind of a kid is he, Raiden is 185 tall.
The man raised his eyebrows at my gaze and kicked the ground.
-Tatak!
At the same time as a short sound echoed, a man jumped towards me.
Seeing the man raise his shining sword sadly, I also prepared my defense.
Cool your head and figure out the situation.
It’s a 1 vs 10 situation, but only one person attacks.

Judging by the straight movement and the way the sword is held, the flying attack is likely to be a classic up and down slash.
“You just can’t stop it.”
What I’m holding is a wooden sword for practice.
In contrast, what the opponent is holding is a sharpened sword.
If I make a mistake, the moment I block it, my body will be cut in two along with the wooden sword.
then……
“aaa!!!”
The man who had approached me before I knew it, brandished a sword with a loud spirit.
I looked at her and quietly pursed my lips.
“blink×2”
– Pajik!
My body flashes at the same time as I cry out the incantation.
After I disappeared, the man’s attack cut through the air in vain.
“Huh…? It’s gone…”
-Bahah!!
Before the man went mad and could express his doubts, I, who had moved behind him, struck him on the head.
-Titling!
[Title being activated: ‘Sword Slayer’]
[All attack power increases by 15% when dealing with a swordsman.]
Possibly because of the title’s buff, power that could be formidable even with a wooden sword came out.
-Quad deuk!
As soon as it touched my wooden sword, the head was smashed with a ghastly sound.
The skull must have been completely shattered, and the head could not keep its shape and was crushed.
His distorted skin on his face vomited up muddy brain fluid and eyeballs.
A crotesque scene unfolded in less than two seconds.
The rest of the assailants who were watching the situation were shocked.
“……”
“What just…”
“Jackson… is… dead?”
Was his name Jackson?
I left behind the murmurs of the assailants and picked up the sword that Jackson had dropped as he died.
Um… a side sword.
Side swords are still awkward… well, it’s better than nothing.
With that thought in mind, I brushed away the fragments of Jackson’s hair that were on the sword and took a stance.
Unlike Japanese swords, I felt a sense of difference, perhaps because of the long cross guard.
Why are you using a sword like this?
Does everyone just use Japanese?
I grumbled inwardly and turned around to look at the assailants.
“……”
The assailants stood still, glaring at me.
Her eyes, which had been ridiculed and delighted just a moment ago, were now filled with wariness and astonishment.
I said looking at them.
“Aren’t you coming in?”
“……”
“If you don’t come in, I will go in.”
[Remaining duration of super sense: 6 minutes 14 seconds]
“I don’t have time for this either.”
I trampled on Jackson’s scalp, which was sprawled on the floor.
– Pooh!
Drops of blood splattered, and the contents of the skull splattered onto the shoes.
“I’ll turn you all into chunks of meat like this bastard.”
Saying so, he memorized a chant.
“Blink×3”
