Chapter 118

Swoosh!

In the tent, Shien stood up abruptly, startling Lucia and Merica.

"Mr. Shien?"

"W-what's wrong?"

Both Lucia and Merica felt uneasy as if they had sensed the change in the atmosphere around Shien.

Sean closed his eyes and fully activated his [Enemy Sense] and [Magic Sense] skills.

Under such circumstances, not only did Shien feel a strong sense of hostility, but he also sensed a strong magic power approaching at high speed. The reaction was quite intense.

It was definitely not the reaction of a monster.

The hostility and magic of the monsters would not be as subtle and active as this.

Therefore, Sean could be sure that the attackers were definitely not magical creatures, but more dangerous, more terrifying, and more evil existences, and there were many of them.

Among them, there was even a reaction with magic power that was much stronger than Killian's.

"Are they finally here?"

Shien opened his eyes and looked at Lucia and Merica.

"Follow me closely. Don't get separated."

With these words, Shien rushed out of the tent.

Seeing this, Lucia and Merica did not have time to react. After a while, they looked at each other and seemed to realize that something was wrong. Finally, they followed behind Shien and rushed out of the tent.

As soon as they rushed out of the tent, Lucia and Merica shivered.

"There's … the smell of blood …!"

Lucia twitched her cute little nose, a look of panic on her face.

"Look over there!"

Merica's sharp eyes saw the strange phenomenon in the camp, and she pointed in that direction and shouted loudly.

In the direction that Merica pointed, several tents were set ablaze, and thick black smoke rose from them as they burned fiercely.

Then, in all directions of the campsite, a series of explosions occurred one after another.

Seeing this, how could Lumia and Merica not know what was going on?

"Enemy attack …!?"

"How can it be …!?"

The two girls exclaimed in shock.

Sean was right in front of the two of them. He narrowed his eyes as he watched this scene.

"As expected of the old Demons who once planned the large-scale assassinations in the royal capital. They are very good at infiltration and sneak attacks."

Sean's [Enemy Sense] and [Mana Sense] only reacted after the other party had made a move. Obviously, the other party had also come prepared, or at least prepared a countermeasure against the skills of Perception.

"Tierre probably didn't notice anyone sneaking in, right?"

Even Shien, who had maxed out his skills, had not noticed anything until now, let alone Tierre.

But …

"Even so, it's not like I didn't notice you at this distance."

With these words, Shien suddenly turned around and kicked behind Lucia and Merica.

Bam!

Amidst the loud collision, Sean's kick landed squarely on a black shadow behind Lumia and Merica, sending it flying with a heavy kick.

"Ah!"

Only then did Lucia and Merica realize that someone was about to ambush them.

Only then did Lucia and Merica realize that someone was about to attack them, and they both let out a small cry.

At this moment, the attacker seemed to have not expected to be discovered, nor did he expect to be kicked away. After being stunned for a while, he immediately became angry.

At this moment, the attacker didn't seem to think that he would be discovered, nor did he think that he would be kicked away. After being stunned for a while, he immediately became angry.

At this moment, the attacker did not seem to think that he would be discovered, nor did he think that he would be kicked away. After being stunned for a while, he immediately flew into a rage.

"Kill!" The attacker did not waste any more words. He leaped up, held a dagger that was dripping with blood, and dashed towards Shien.

His speed was so fast that one could only see a blurry shadow, and it was soundless. Ordinary people might not even be able to react in time and would be killed in an instant.

Unfortunately …

Bam!

With the muffled sound of the blow, not only did the attacker not have a chance to swing his dagger, but he was also sent flying by Sean's kick as if he had taken the initiative to deliver himself to Sean.

If the attacker's speed was so fast that others could only see a blurry black shadow, then Sean's kick was as fast as lightning, arriving in a flash.

"So … so powerful …"

Seeing this scene with her own eyes, Lucia murmured.

"Mr. Shien …"

Merica also looked at Shien's back, her heart beating faster.

On the other hand, Sean no longer cared about these things.

Anyway, even if his strength was exposed, he could just push the blame to others. Now was not the time to hide.

So, Shien walked in the direction of the attacker.

"You …!"

The attacker seemed to have realized that Shien was a difficult opponent. Without any hesitation, he turned around and was ready to temporarily avoid the attack.

This was also their mode of action. If they could kill someone, they would kill without hesitation. If they could not, they would retreat and wait for the main force or for stronger companions to arrive.

However, the choice to turn his back to Shien was undoubtedly a wrong one.

"[Lightning]."

A dazzling bolt of lightning cut through the night sky and struck the attacker who was about to retreat.

"Ahhhhh …!"

The attacker let out a scream. Under the bombardment of the lightning, his whole body was scorched. After a while, he turned into a charred corpse and fell to the ground.

Shien came to his side, picked up his dagger, and said disappointedly.

"Since you can't be peerless, don't learn from others and become an assassin. How embarrassing."

It was the other two shadows that responded to Sean's words.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The two new attackers appeared on both sides of Shien and stretched out their hands at Shien. They spat out words full of murderous intent and released their magic power.

It seemed that the two of them were going to use powerful magic to kill Shien on the spot.

At this moment …

"Hey!"

Lucia rushed toward one of the attackers and threw a punch that carried a strong wind, forcing the attacker to retreat.

"[Burn Off]!"

Melica also cast a spell that she had unknowingly prepared towards the other attacker, causing the flames to suddenly explode towards the attacker's position, forcing him to give up on his attack and dodge.

"Ah …!"

One of the attackers was speechless. He raised his hand again and seemed to turn his target to the girls.

This was another wrong decision.

"Puchi!"

When the sound of tearing rang out, a dagger nailed into the attacker's chest and pierced through his body.

"Ugh …"

The assailant let out a stiff groan and immediately fell to the ground.

Shien maintained the posture of throwing the dagger, and a familiar message appeared in his mind.

[Obtained skill – [Throw] – do you wish to learn? ]

This was obviously a good skill for sneak attacks. There was no doubt that he had to learn it, and it was the kind that could be maxed out immediately.

Shien silently completed this task as he turned to the remaining attacker.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! "

Lucia was chasing after the attacker. She shouted cutely, but her punches were as fierce and fast as the wind, forcing the attacker, who was obviously a magician, to dodge.

"Damn it!"

The attacker cursed, and his body surged with magic as if he was about to cast some powerful magic.

He did not realize that he was one step too late.

"— This is Skywheel's Breath —"

Magic surged out of Melica's body, causing her to raise her staff high and chant loudly.

"— Crimson Flame Essence, Transparent Truth, with prayer as fuel, rise here —"

The crystal on Melica's staff immediately shone brightly.

"[Skywheel's Fire Rain (Heaven's Fire)]!"

In the next second, the Meteor Rain descended.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang —!"

Spectacular explosions occurred in a corner of the camp.

The flames lit up the night sky.

The atmosphere trembled.

By the time this spectacular scene disappeared, only a scorched land was left where the meteor shower had landed.

There, only a corpse was left.

However, the corpse's legs seemed to have been broken by something.

Shien smiled and picked up a new stone from the ground.

He had to admit that the maxed out [Throw] skill was really powerful.

Even if it was used to break someone's legs and prevent them from running, it would still work, wouldn't it?
