A chill ran down my spine when Dia opened the window

A sixth sense that defies logic.

My crisis sensing ability, possessed only by assassin’s has given me a warning.

Almost involuntarily pulling on Dia's shoulder and start crawling to the window, I charge the mana stone with magic to the critical point before leaning out from the window and looking out.[TL Nevermind Note: I changed Farle stone to mana stone for the sake of simplicity.]

Big man standing on a faraway part of the wall threw a spear towards Dia.

The man had standing up red hair, and handsome enough to be disgusting ferocious smile..

When I looked at him with my eyes of touahade, the surroundings of that man were filled with enormous amounts of ominous magical power that couldn’t be considered a thing of this world.

Is that really a human!?

It's only possible for me to understand because I can see the magic power.

The spear contains a huge amount of magical power that’s incomparable to the amount of magical energy I emit.

I shot out the mana stone in the critical state.

The tip of the spear that the big man had thrown cracked, and the spear started to deform and expand whilst accelerating.

Its speed surpassed even a tungsten shot with my [Gun Shot]. If it wasn’t for my special eyes, I wouldn’t be even able to detect it.

After the spears have passed, the land has been broken and soldiers of the nobles faction and soldiers of vicone territory has become minced meat in a moment. Not only by the tip of the spear, but also the shockwaves that surrounded it.

It's a spear, but it's also a mass destruction weapon.

The spear that he threw and the mana stone that I flicked with my finger collided.

This mana stone I made is special. It has explosion magic that is directed forward.

A supersonic spear and an explosion from a superhuman containing power of 300 man collided.

The spear pierced through the explosion, shattered the walls, stuck into the walls of the castle and stopped.

If the mana stone explosion didn’t weaken the power, the spear with it’s shockwaves would have destroyed the surrounding area, and neither the mansion or us would be safe..

The spear that pierced the wall began to move back to it’s owner.

…Is that an artifact?

The information was collected, and finally there once was a chance for purchasing one, but this was the first time he saw a real one.

There was an eye with the guy. The distance to the man is about six hundred and fifty meters. Even if it is my [Gun Shot], it’s a distance at which precision shooting is impossible..

At this distance, he accurately aimed at us with a javelin.

The performance of the Sacred Treasures? It’s also that, but not only that. I can't do that.

I want to think that the emitted amount is abnormal and the total amount is just the same, but that's just wishful thinking.

Anyway, you should return.

Chant magic.

I didn’t use a gun this time, I summoned a cannon.

120mm barrel with rifling.

The gun barrel is thick, and the bullets grow in proportion, as if it were a different kind of bullet like a milk bottle.

And the fact that the barrel is thick means that it can withstand a stronger explosion.

It will withstand a full-blown explosion.

"Both of you, cover your ears and keep your mouths ajar!" [Gunfire/Gun Shot]】」(TL note: I don't know what Ajar means so I put “Mouth closed”)

In his hand, the fourth most powerful, deadly magic was activated..

The ultra-heavy and ultra-hard tungsten bullets are shot at ultra-high speed by the cannon towards the man.

It can’t possibly be compared to [Gun Shot]. If the first one can be compared to a rifle, this one is like a main cannon of a tank.

The firepower that pushes out the tungsten is a true all-out explosion magic. The thing that made it possible is the ultra thick barrel of the cannon.

It’s easy to be misunderstood, but the accuracy of the super-large cannon exceeds that of a rifle.

The faster the speed and the shorter the arrival time, the smaller the influence of gravity, and the larger the kinetic energy and mass, the smaller the influence of wind etc. and the higher the accuracy.

Although the range is limited to 400m with a gun, when I use the cannon it can reach 1000m.

…The problem is that it's too flashy to be used for assassinations.

Using the [Gun Shot], the bullets velocity reaches 1650m/s. It reaches around Mach 5 as well.

It travelled 600m in 0.4 seconds.

The cannon’s roar lingers in the air, as the dust rises from the ground.

The cannon was fixed in place by spikes and anchors, which resulted in cracked wall and window in this room.

Dia and Vicone’s jaws dropped to the floor from shock.

"Wow, I haven’t seen it for a long time now, with Lugh’s [Gun Shot], I think there in not even a trace left of that guy.”

"What was that just now?"

"It is one of my assassination techniques. It’s used to kill distant targets.”

“I don’t even know what is assassination.”

Well, I hope he died with this.

The answer came immediately.

When the dust has cleared, the man was alive and well.

The was was pouring from his forehead, but his smile was as ferocious as ever.

I wanted to start laughing too.

I was hoping for something more.

[Gun Shot] comparable with direct hit of a tank’s cannon, and damage to that extent.

The man yelled.

It hurts~~~, this is really painful! It’s a first time for me. Not so bad, hey!

(TLnote: Use your imagination here )

I can hear his cries from here.

Dia is shaking The man’s muscles swelled up, his clothes burst apart and ogre-like horns grew out from his head.

... I think I recognize it, S rank skill [Berserk].

It’s triggered by anger, increases physical abilities and magical powers, and the aura of anger corrects the upswing in attack and defense.

In other words, now he was stronger and firmer than before being shot with the cannon on his forehead.

A conditional skill that has a range of bonuses far surpassing other S rank skills.

The next time I hit him with my [Gun Shot] will not have any effect on him at all.

"Lugh, get Dia and run away quickly. Something more terrifying come out of that man, he no longer cares about hiding his death aura. A guy who ended the Civil War by himself. Even royal family surrendered to that man, he cannot be stopped. I didn’t expect him to show here.”

Count Vicone explained everything to me.

A person who could end the war by himself.

If that’s the case, the Touaahade are better. Capable of ending the war before it even begins. That man, while looking at us joyfully, continued to shout.

"If there’s a woman you love, you should come to me, even if you don’t come out I will find you. I will give you a chance to decide. If you don’t come out, I’m going to kill everyone here and then kill you, but if you win, I’m going to let everyone here go, and never bother the Vicones again. But come out now, because I don’t think I can hold myself back right now. I’ve finally found someone who can fight with me.

I think I finally understood his line of thought.

He was sent by a group of nobles who had been fighting with Vicones for more than 3 days.

And because he is so strong, he had nothing to do, but now he is happy, because he finally found someone who can fight him. A man with huge fighting spirit, I also appreciate a decent duel, and finally I found a toy that can duel me for the first time in this life.

... He is too arrogant and careless, it’s a fatal gap for me to enter.

I’ve found a fatal weakness in a man who thought of himself as an invincible.

"Count Vicone and Dia’s eyes were fully open. Our basic specs are too different for us to escape. I have to answer to his duel invitation.”

"Lugh, wait. You can beat him right?”

Dia looked at me earnestly.

*I shake my head slowly.*

"If it’s a duel, I will definitely lose. It’s the same reason as for why we can’t escape. It’s a great game, but I’m too low leveled. In the first place my [Gun Shot] can’t kill him, even my other physical attacks that don’t use too much magic with a short chanting time that can be used during a duel are completely incapable of killing him. I can probably only last for a few tens of seconds.”

Knowing that, I create a big two-handed spear made from tungsten with magic..

Because of tungsten being a dense and heavy metal, the spear made from it weighs exceeds 100kg..

Then I added two other magics to the spear..

"Then why are you so calm!? If you lose you are going to die. This duel is reckless, let me fight with you too.”

"I just said that I can’t win in a duel… That’s why I declared that I’m going to duel with him, even though I’m not going to do a real duel with him. That’s why this spear is enough.”

I threw the spear out of the window.

Dia anxiously stared at me, whilst hiding her tears.

You might think that it’s crazy to throw the just-made spear out of the window.

But this has a bigger meaning.

"Dia, I’m an assassin, not a soldier or knight, much less a hero. I can’t possibly duel… I’m going to do what I do best, assassinate him..」

I smiled as if there was no problem.

There is surprisingly many ways to assassinate people.

There is even a way I can assassinate him even in this situation.

Or rather, I already prepared most of the necessary steps..

"Count Vicone, come with me. If we’re going to finish this war with a duel between knights, you need to be present.”

In fact, it’s pretty common for wars to end with a duel between two knights..

Most wars are very resource and man consuming. So to reduce the losses and time it takes for a war to end, both sides would send their best knight in both skill and equipment, and let him decide the wars end. .

And for it to take place, both sides had to sign a contract beforehand..

... I thought that there was no correlation between assassins and knights, but if I was appointed by the other side I had no choice but to cooperate. But the situation is very good for my assassination plan.

The plan by itself is just crazy. However, crazy stuff can happen in unexpected situations. But the assassin needs to keep the details of the situation vague.

Hide the facts. If the goal can be achieved, nothing else matters.

“Okay, I understand. I’m sorry that I got you involved. Let’s go… With all the remaining forces I will try to stop him. You go get Dia and run away.”

"Stop it. If that man has a partner, all of it would go to waste. Besides you don’t have to do this. That’s what I was talking about. I have a plan, I’m going to assassinate him.”

What is the reason behind that man’s strength..

He might be hard to kill if he really is the hero.

But I don't think that's the case.

If I can’t assassinate him here, I can’t afford the luxury of thinking about the mission anyway.

First, I shall kill you, then I will think.

That's all I can do.
