Kieran couldn't help but squint his eyes when he saw the sword jump up and heard the snake hiss in his ears.
Snake school?
Kieran was astonished.
Thanks to the book "Words of Sects", Kieran knew a little about the many martial arts sects in this dungeon world.
Of course, "Words of Sects" was one of the few items that Kieran deemed useful among the special rewards.
After carefully reading through the book, Kieran knew Snake school had been annihilated 10 years ago.
It was annihilated by the most outstanding genius of Snake School, Folly.
Including the hundreds of disciples, none of them escaped.
And it was also because of this' merit 'that Holly became Jeanne James's guest, and then rose step by step to the position of Minister of Military Affairs.
The annihilated sect reappeared?
The doubts and shock didn't make Kieran hesitate. Kieran didn't back off with Mary in his arms. He dished out a kick and the tip of his foot landed on the back of the flying sword.
Chang Chang!
The flying sword that was like a venomous snake that was spitting its tongue fell to the ground as if it was hit where it hurt.
However, the attack didn't stop.
The snake hiss sounded again and a couple of flying knives penetrated the tent.
This time, the flying knives weren't just targeting Mary, but also … Kieran.
However, the flying knives were useless against Kieran.
Just like the flying sword from before.
For Kieran who had [Viper Kick] and [Sword Skill, Myriad Viper], he knew Snake school's fighting style very well.
Other than the techniques that they displayed on the surface, they were the ones that affected the five senses and illusions.
However, for Kieran, with his SSS + Spirit attribute, he wasn't afraid of illusions at all.
Pak Pak Pak!
He raised his right leg and launched a series of kicks.
A couple of flying knives were struck away almost at the same time.
Then, the assassin who appeared out of nowhere wanted to retreat without a second thought. He realized his attacks couldn't do anything to Kieran.
Pestering wasn't the style of an assassin.
But the supernatural darkness shrouded the assassin.
However, what surprised Kieran was that the speed at which the assassin retreated did not slow down at all after losing the use of his eyes.
"Relying on memory and hearing to determine the path of retreat?"
Kieran's interest in the assassin grew as he watched the scene unfold.
Not only because of his background, but also because of the skills he had displayed.
So, when the man was about to dash out of the supernatural darkness, Kieran freed his right hand and grabbed the back of the man's neck, dragging him back.
It was only natural that he wouldn't stop resisting.
As a matter of fact, when Kieran grabbed the back of his neck, he had already lashed out with a kick.
[Viper Kick]!
The hissing of a snake sounded, and it was extremely strange.
It completely defied the structure of the human body. With his back facing Kieran, he stabbed his leg towards Kieran's throat.
Proficient Level.
With Grand Master level [Viper Kick], Kieran gave an accurate evaluation in his heart before he also dished out a kick.
Hiss!
A loud snake hiss sounded and it made the assassin who executed the [Viper Kick] shiver.
It wasn't just because Kieran knew the Snake school's martial techniques, it was also because he was under the effect of [Viper Kick, Snake Hiss].
The supernatural darkness dispersed.
After dragging the assassin back into the tent, Kieran sized up the assassin.
The assassin looked like a young man in his early twenties, with a common face and a neat black outfit.
His hands were full of calluses and his eyes were sharp, striking fear in common men. However, the young man before Kieran's eyes was at a loss.
Outside the tent, soldiers' footsteps sounded.
Under the night sky, the supernatural darkness might be able to be covered, but the sound of the tent being torn apart was extremely abrupt under the night sky.
"My lord, what happened?"
However, the soldiers didn't barge into the tent right away, instead, they shouted from outside.
Their tone was extremely respectful.
After witnessing the battle between Kieran and the Prairies invaders, the soldiers' reverence towards Kieran had reached its peak. It was a concept that far exceeded the norm.
It was very unfamiliar.
However, it had a sense of obedience to every order.
"Nothing!"
As Kieran's voice came from inside the tent, the soldiers dispersed right away. They returned to their posts and continued with their duties.
Inside the tent, Kieran put Mary down after she recovered from the shock.
The blushing little girl was holding Kieran's hand, recalling the scene just now.
She then said softly, "Thank you!"
She was thanking Kieran for not letting the soldiers in.
As the crown prince of a country, it wasn't appropriate for others to see her in such an embarrassing state, especially on the battlefield.
However, the little girl felt a little disappointed in her heart.
She hoped that others would see how intimate she was with Kieran.
The conflicting feelings caused the little girl to be slightly irritated.
Before her eyes was a good outlet to vent her frustrations.
Mary drew her short sword and pierced the assassin's palm, pinning him to the ground.
"Aaaargh!"
The pain from his palm finally brought the assassin back to his senses from the shock. He instinctively wanted to raise his hand but the cold and sharp edge of the sword made his movement extremely dangerous.
"Aaaargh!"
Another cry of pain.
"If you don't want your palm to be crippled, you better not move!
Likewise, for the sake of your life, you better tell me honestly, why did you try to assassinate me? "
Mary said coldly.
"Hmph!"
The young assassin grunted coldly in a tough manner, expressing his disdain towards Mary.
Mary, on the other hand, gave the most direct reply.
She took out a dagger from her boot and stabbed it into the assassin's thigh.
The dagger went halfway through and although it avoided the veins, blood still gushed out and dyed the assassin's pants, forming a small patch of red on his lower body.
"Speak!"
Mary yelled.
The young assassin didn't grunt coldly to express his disdain but he didn't speak either.
Mary pulled out the dagger and slammed it down on the floor.
After repeating the process a few times, Kieran finally spoke.
"Wait!"
Kieran stopped Mary.
It wasn't that he was soft-hearted.
Kieran was a person who was very clear about which side he stood on. Those who were categorized as enemies by him would never be treated with mercy.
The assassin before Mary didn't just attack Mary, he also attacked Kieran.
It was natural that the assassin was an enemy.
However, this enemy was still useful.
"If you keep stabbing him like this, he will really die. There are still some things I want to ask him."
Kieran explained to the confused Mary.
Mary's face instantly flushed red again.
This time, it wasn't because of shyness but because of the awkwardness.
Although she had the intention to ask before, it was more of a way to vent.
"I'll go get the doctor!"
Mary reacted to the situation and ran out of the tent after saying that.
Inside the tent, only Kieran and the assassin were left.
Kieran looked at the assassin. Although the assassin was in a weakened state, he was still acting tough.
However, when Kieran raised his left hand, the tough assassin's face changed drastically.
"Witch's Ring!"
