The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - chapter 205

Ch 205

pitch black night (1)

Dmitry Square.

There was a man sitting on a shady bench in a place where people were actively coming and going, spending a leisurely time.

Thistle.

The man chewed the jerky.

The face with the robe turned back was rather pale and shabby, and although it gave off a slightly strange atmosphere, no one cared about him.

Dmitry draws people from various places.

Among them, there were people from slums, some from nightlife, and there were various types of people such as mercenaries working on the continent, so the strange atmosphere was not very conspicuous.

the man’s name.

It was Cliff.

As the deputy master of the assassination guild écorché, he looked around with a dazed expression on his face.

‘Dmitry’s guard showed up twice during the hour of his stay in the square. This means that Dmitry mobilizes a number of guards at regular intervals to patrol. Normal territories never have such a security system. It is a job that requires a lot of manpower, and the incidents and accidents discovered by the guards are actually controversial. Since it does not cause any great damage to the territory, it can be said that it is a meaningless suffering.’

Simple logic.

In order to prepare for the accident of 1 by putting a hundred efforts, it is right to sit by the side and solve the accident of 1 and solve the problem of 2.

nevertheless.

Dmitry’s guard was tight.

Not only that, but his skills didn’t seem that great either.

‘The rumors in the West seem to be false. Ordinary soldiers show the same momentum as any other knight. If things go wrong in a place like this, I can’t guarantee my life.’

swallowed jerky

There was no sign of nervousness.

There were many more dangerous things in his life, and what he was doing now was the process of obtaining the information necessary for the assassination.

Overestimate what you underestimate.

It was a famous saying in the assassination industry, and Cliff had no intention of underestimating Dmitry, who has recently taken the most radical move.

timely.

A man came to the side and sat down.

With a familiar expression as if they were in a party, he reported what had happened without people knowing.

“As a result of infiltrating the iron mine and checking the surroundings, it is said that Dmitry has few incidents compared to the number of people coming and going. The Dmitry Guards are not just fakes, but when an incident occurs, they are dispatched in about 5 minutes, and they are so talented that even the most dangerous mercenaries are said to be handed over. The same goes for night guards. It is less than during the daytime, but compared to other provinces, the nighttime is also quite high.”

“Any other precautions?”

“There are many talented people in the territory. We need to watch out for them.”

a fortnight ago.

The members of the assassination guild had already dug into Dmitry.

Cliff grinned.

It was as expected.

Roman Dmitry seemed to have formed an excessively tight guard at the announcement of the Kronos Empire’s assassination.

It was fun.

His struggle to live stimulated his interest.

“I mean. The more my target fights, the more my blood boils. Every day, in a situation where he can’t sleep because he doesn’t know when he’s going to be attacked, when he nullifies everything he has prepared and puts a dagger in his heart, the pleasure is indescribably exhilarating.

It was fun just to imagine.

He swallowed even the last jerky, got up and said:

“Tell the informants. The plan will go ahead as planned.”

* * *

It was the day of the showdown.

pitch-black night.

The beings who permeated like shadows hid themselves in the darkness from the sight of the guards patrolling at night.

among them.

said the man in the gray cloak.

“From now on, the more you go to the inner city, the more the number of guards will increase. The interval between the enemies arriving at the same point is about 15 minutes, and we have to unconditionally enter the defense within 15 minutes after we dealt with the guards for the first time. keep in mind Kronos does not allow failure. Even if we have succeeded in every assassination under the orders of the Empire, a single failure will plunge us into hell.”

It was Cliff.

this operation.

The fate of the assassination guild was at stake.

The Master had commanded supreme-ruler to succeed, so Cliff’s attitude was different from usual.

“I will take the lead. If you deal with the guards, get rid of the corpses quickly.”

Okay.

The servants nod their heads.

Cliff confirmed the positions of the guards, and manifested the power of the gray cloak he wore.

“Invisibility.”

evil.

A soft light arose.

The light from the gray cloak enveloped Cliff’s body, and he permeated the surroundings, becoming invisible to the naked eye.

It was a magical artifact.

Assassins tend to use many tools to kill beings stronger than themselves, and the gray cloak was the most expensive item among them.

killed the popular

Moving carefully, he approached the guards moving in pairs.

‘There are only two. According to the security system that I have learned so far, if I go straight to the inner city after dealing with these guys, I will only encounter the guards once. Roman Dmitry. I don’t know what kind of existence you are on the battlefield, but you will not be able to withstand the assassination taking advantage of the darkness.’

so far.

Killed many strong people.

Among them, there were beings called rankers, but there was no way to do an unprepared attack.

It was no different this time.

Cliff followed the guard with a strong conviction.

I heard the opponent’s breathing.

Seeing the guards looking around without knowing that death was approaching, Cliff immediately picked up the dagger.

And the moment you want to cut your throat.

Kaang!

‘ ?!’

The attack was blocked.

The guards momentarily turned around and smashed Cliff’s attack away.

embarrassing situation.

When the guard and Cliff met their eyes, the guard blew his whistle as if he had been waiting.

beep eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

“The enemy! An enemy has appeared!”

* * *

It was confusing.

one guard

I don’t know if it’s the process of entering introspection, but I never imagined that such a problem would arise from the beginning.

“shit. Get these guys out of the way!”

Barak exclaimed.

The guild members who were hiding came out all at once and attacked the guards simultaneously to erase the traces.

By the way.

Kaang!

Kaka Kaka!

The movements of the guards were unusual.

They did not get pushed back by the attack like Deukdal, and two guards protected each other’s backs and blocked the dangerous situation.

It was then that Cliff felt his mouth dry.

At first I thought the guards were lucky enough to block the attack, but now I see that they are by no means ordinary guards.

That was then.

Beep profit!

“There!”

It was an instant.

Dmitry’s soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded him, and Cliff and the assassins lost track of time to escape.

desperate crisis. At Cliff’s signal, the assassins gathered in one place.

As assassins who are strong in raids, they are weak against head-on confrontation, but there is no other way to survive now.

grabbed the dagger.

The invisibility had already been released while attempting to attack.

Cliff looked around nervously.

Dmitry’s soldiers.

The moment he checked the face of one of them, Cliff couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

” you, you?!”

It was a familiar face.

beyond memory.

The face of the restaurant owner Thomas, whom he had bumped into a few days ago, matched exactly the man he was looking at now.

My heart raced.

This operation was seriously wrong from the start.

“Cliff. Deputy master of the assassination guild Ecorche. The reason you set foot in Dmitry was probably because you were instructed by Emperor Cronus.”

The guard who blocked the first attack.

he stepped forward

Looking at it now, it was the face I remembered.

He couldn’t recognize him at once in disguise, but the information he knew in advance contained information about a man named Lucas.

“A week ago. We found out that Ecorche’s assassins had set foot in Dmitry. You may have thought that you completely hid your identities, but you also knew that you had joined for a full-scale operation three days ago. From the look on your face, you must be wondering how I found this out.”

Hao Moon.

Lucas created an information guild.

People belonging to Haomen reported everything they saw and heard as they melted into their daily lives.

not much information.

But combining them, Lucas created useful information.

“The restaurant owner you first met when you set foot in Dmitry. He was a member of the Dmitry Intelligence Guild. When you looked around in the square, the merchant who was doing business right next to you was also part of the information guild. Not only that. Innkeeper, blacksmith, miner in iron mines. They all have Dmitry’s eyes and ears, and they tell us about the strange beings they’ve seen. From then on, it wasn’t that difficult to find out who you were. It is a public fact that the Kronos Empire hired assassins, and I thought the Écorchet was the right tool for that.”

from the beginning.

Dmitry ignored Ecorchet’s existence.

Knowing that they were looking around, they let them grasp the information, and as soon as they reported that they were moving in earnest, a new guard was formed.

Lucas teamed up with Henderson.

And in other areas, manpower was deployed to prepare for enemy attacks.

Attack in the dark.

Cliff thought it was perfect, but from start to finish they were a toy played with Lucas’ intentions.

‘ At this rate, you will die.’

Cliff looked around.

I didn’t expect it.

When I was ordered to assassinate Roman Dmitry, I didn’t think it was that difficult.

Their secret movements are not something that can be prevented just by anticipating them.

But how do they know their existence in this way?

After all, in order to enter the castle, you have no choice but to meet people.

No matter how much he manipulated his identity and covered his face with a robe, all the information flowed into Haomen.

And.

Lucas did not miss the slightest change.

Having put the assassins into a corner, he sent a signal to the soldiers.

“Attack.”

That moment.

Cliff also shouted with a poisoned face.

“Open the way! Break through the enemies, and head straight to the fortress!”

* * *

assassin.

The reason they are strong is that they raid when they want.

That means.

Conversely, it meant that in a head-on confrontation, it was inevitable that they would be weak.

poof.

“Great!”

“Uh-huh.”

It was one-sided.

As soon as they ran into each other, Dmitry’s soldiers drove the assassins, and many people fell without having to exchange a few battles.

However, Cliff’s presence stood out.

He looked menacing with a dagger with sharpness, but that performance did not last long.

Lucas ran away.

As he pushed, Cliff was instantly cornered.

‘strong!’

Lucas.

He was a prominent figure in recruiting enlisted men.

He fell into the information guild because of other uses, but he experienced battles on the battlefield and possessed combat abilities that were at the top of the list among those who followed Roman Dmitry.

Swords and daggers that are slightly shorter than normal swords.

Using two weapons brilliantly, he cut off the opponent’s chest in an instant.

Scratch!

“Aaaaah.”

screamed.

As Cliff stepped back, Lucas kicked him in the ankle and knocked him down.

quadang.

It was over.

When Cliff woke up again, a sword was pointed at his neck.

“Give me ten seconds from now. To explain why I have to keep you alive.”

Shh.

The sword pierced his neck.

Seeing the blood dripping down the blade, Cliff showed a full smile on his face, presumably because he had lost his temper.

“You bastards. Don’t be fooled into thinking that you guys have already won. Even though the Kronos Empire had predicted an assassination, they hired us because we were confident that we would somehow succeed in the operation. You know it too. Ecorchet said that the real sword (劍) exists separately. Along with that, assassins attacking from all directions will come to the fortress by now.”

smirked

It’s a dead life anyway.

That’s why I wanted to see the opponent panic.

this operation.

It wasn’t his job.

Ecorchet tried to attack in four directions based on resistance, and the being called Ecorche’s sword moved separately.

An operation that is bound to succeed.

In recognition of his leadership and years of experience, he rose to the rank of Écorchée Deputy Master, but in fact, his skills were not that great.

It’s just one of the baits.

The operation will eventually succeed.

By the way.

“Not what we know. Any other information?”

opponent’s reaction.

Cliff’s eyes twinkled.

I felt my heart sink when I saw him calmly accepting his remarks.

Lucas looked at him with cold eyes.

“If you have nothing to say, you have no choice but to die.”

spatula.

“Cruckle.”

asked for a blood bubble.

With the sword that cut off his throat, Cliff stopped the bloodstream with his pathetic hand and fell to the floor.

A situation in which all enemies have been dealt with.

Lucas said, wiping away his blood.

“Group 2, clean up your surroundings. And from now on, Team 1 will follow me and form a siege network so that enemies cannot escape based on resistance.”

not tolerant.

There were no worries there.

What was happening there was not his own, but Roman Dmitry’s realm.
