Episode 103

The atmosphere in the manor was chaotic.

It had to be.

A war had just broken out.

I immediately tore the single-use stealth skill page.

[ Stealth is activated. ]

Duration: 30 minutes.

I paid quite a bit of money for this.

This should be enough.

I took out a scythe-like climbing equipment called a vile from my inventory.

Gripping the vile in both hands, I struck the castle wall and climbed up without hesitation.

There were guards on the castle wall.

But thanks to the stealth skill, I could cross over the wall without being detected and enter the manor.

I ran again.

My target was the lord’s castle.

After running across the manor for quite a while, I was able to reach the castle.

Infiltrating the castle was even easier.

The lord’s castle was only large in size, but had less security than the gate at the manor entrance.

By the time I infiltrated the castle, the stealth duration was running dangerously low.

While searching inside the castle, I found a servant walking alone.

I approached from behind, covered the woman’s mouth, then drew Barisa and held it to her neck.

Around that time, the stealth duration ended and was deactivated.

“Shh. I’m going to ask you some questions now. If you scream as soon as I take my hand off your mouth, I’ll stab you in the neck and kill you immediately. Nod if you understand.”

The woman trembled and nodded her head.

“Good. Answer my questions and stay quiet, and I’ll let you live. Question: where is the lord’s son right now?”

Then I carefully loosened the strength in my hand.

I brought Barisa even closer to her neck.

Then the woman spoke in a crawling voice.

“The 3rd, 3rd floor. Deran Gongja is in the room at the end of the third floor.”

“Is Deran Gongja the lord’s only son?”

“Yes, he’s the only, only son.”

“Then he must be the heir?”

“Yes, yes.”

“A territorial war has broken out, so why didn’t the son go out?”

“Well, since he’s the only son, just in case…”

“I see. Then where is Lady Preuzan?”

“She’s in the room at the left end of the second floor.”

“Good, put this in your mouth.”

I took out a grape-flavored hard candy from my pocket and put it in her mouth.

“It’s a bomb I commissioned a mage to make. The moment you take this out of your mouth before completely dissolving it with saliva, it’ll explode immediately. So if you want to live, work hard to dissolve it. Nod if you understand.”

Nod nod-

“Good, then take care.”

Having obtained the information, Choi Hyun immediately took out another stealth skill page and tore it.

Then stealth was activated again, and I let go of the woman and moved quickly.

Thud-

The woman, whose tension was released, slumped down on the spot.

If I had scared her a little more, she would have almost wet herself.

She couldn’t open her mouth.

Instead, a sweet grape flavor spread in her mouth.

‘The room at the end of the 3rd floor, right?’

The lord’s wife was likely to be with servants.

Noble ladies usually don’t stay alone.

So I decided to target the only son first.

Fortunately, there was no one in the third floor corridor.

I passed windows where sunlight poured in and slightly opened a large door.

Perhaps because it was made luxuriously, despite being quite a large door, it opened without making any sound.

The only son, Deran Gongja, was reading a book while basking in the sunlight.

That scene was truly absurd.

‘What a lucky bastard.’

I don’t know the detailed circumstances, but his father is currently out on the battlefield, and this son is here just reading books?

He should at least pretend to be worried.

Shaking my head inwardly, I approached Deran from behind.

Then I immediately pressed his head down onto the desk and put my weight on it.

“Who, who are you!”

“Deran Gongja?”

“Didn’t I ask who you are!”

“That’s right.”

I immediately drew Barisa and stabbed his shoulder.

“Grrrrgh!”

Extreme pain.

Barisa’s wicked hobby of reducing damage while doubling the pain.

As it gouged through Deran’s body, the young master’s eyes instantly turned red and blood vessels bulged all over his face.

He couldn’t scream.

Because I was covering his mouth.

“Your mother is in the room at the end of the 2nd floor, right? If you answer my questions, I won’t kill your mother. But if you resist or scream, I’ll kill you both. Okay?”

Then Deran shed tears and barely managed to nod his head.

At his nod, Choi Hyun loosened the strength in his hand a little and asked.

“Question. Why did this territorial war break out? What would it take to stop it?”

“How, how would I know that?!”

“You don’t know?”

“I don’t, I don’t know! I’m saying this because I really don’t know!”

“Really?”

I immediately stabbed his neck.

Blood spurted from the stabbed nape.

If he doesn’t know, I can’t continue the conversation further.

So I killed him.

I drew another sword, activated the mana blade, and immediately cut off his neck.

Then I tore a nearby curtain, wrapped the head like a bundle, and put it in the warehouse.

I can’t put living things in the warehouse, but a severed head is fine.

Because this is no longer a living creature.

Without delay, I immediately headed to the 2nd floor.

Sure enough, on the 2nd floor, the lady was with other maids.

It looked like they were having tea time, but they weren’t just playing around – they seemed to be receiving comfort from the servants while praying for the territorial war to end safely.

I slightly opened the door, entered, and locked the door.

And I killed them all.

If she had been alone, I would have only killed the lord’s wife, but since they were all together, I had no choice.

This time too, I cut off the lady’s head, wrapped it in nearby cloth, and put it in the warehouse.

Bang bang bang!

“My lady! Are you alright!”

Soldiers came looking.

This was because someone inside the room had screamed as soon as the first death occurred.

The stealth skill was still being maintained.

No one had used a stealth cancellation skill, nor had anyone used detection magic.

He moved to the side of the door and pressed against the wall.

Soon the door burst open, and other servants and guards who saw the scene were startled and began searching for the culprit.

Choi Hyun drew his sword again.

And killed the nearest guard with a single strike.

“Kyaaaak!”

“It’s an enemy!”

“There’s an enemy hiding their form!”

Choi Hyun did not respond.

Instead, he quietly killed them all.

Killing enemies while using stealth skill was a very easy task.

After killing everyone, he stripped the armor from one of the guards and took it.

The stealth skill was still being maintained.

He immediately escaped from the castle.

In the process of escaping the castle, he also grabbed one of the family banners.

Then he moved to a deserted place and put on the armor he had secured earlier.

But the size was different.

That’s fine.

Choi Hyun was a blacksmith after all.

He took out his repair hammer and hammered the armor to adjust the size.

It was an incredibly easy task.

Having quickly finished adjusting the size, Choi Hyun put on the helmet as well and began moving back toward the castle.

In the meantime, 30 minutes passed and the second stealth effect also wore off.

That’s fine.

He didn’t need stealth anymore.

Running toward the castle gate, Choi Hyun shouted.

“Emergency!! Emergency!! An assassin has infiltrated the castle!!”

“What?!”

“An assassin?!”

“This is insane!”

At Choi Hyun’s shout, all the workers on duty at the castle widened their eyes and began rushing into the castle.

No one checked Choi Hyun along the way.

Since Choi Hyun was wearing Pruzan soldier armor and the situation was so urgent.

Thanks to this, Choi Hyun was able to easily escape the Preuzan Estate through the side door that was only visible from inside.

“Phew, running is more work than assassination.”

Now all that remained was heading toward the Preuzan Ruler who would be in the midst of territorial warfare.

Choi Hyun ran without rest.

After running and running, when he could finally see the lord’s army, he took out the family banner and the bundles containing the Young Master’s and Lady’s heads that he had stored in his warehouse.

Then someone who saw Choi Hyun’s family banner shouted.

“Someone has come from the manor!”

Anyone could see he was from the manor.

The family banner and armor proved his identity.

A soldier who came to greet him asked Choi Hyun.

“What is it, what’s wrong?”

“The castle! An assassin entered the castle! There, the Young Master’s and Preuzan Buin’s heads…!”

“Su-surely this isn’t that?”

Acting with all his might.

Choi Hyun burst into tears and nodded, and was immediately guided directly to where the Preuzan Ruler was.

No one suspected Choi Hyun.

The ruler, having heard the news, came to the rear with his retainers and gathered around Choi Hyun.

“What are you saying! My son and wife are dead! An assassin!”

“My lord…!”

Choi Hyun, with a face red from crying, held out the bundles to the ruler.

The ruler unwrapped them with trembling hands.

And as soon as he confirmed the contents inside.

“Uwaaaaaaah!!”

He raged more than anything Choi Hyun had ever seen.

The retainers also couldn’t say anything about the tragedy that had suddenly occurred.

“This!! This!! What the hell is this, damn it!!”

The frenzied Preuzan Ruler.

Now was the opportunity.

As soon as Choi Hyun confirmed that the ruler and retainers were in complete panic, he immediately drew his sword.

Swoosh!

Choi Hyun’s sword sliced through the ruler’s neck.

[ Magic Sword activates. ]

[ Dexterity activates. ]

[ Salvation Sword activates. ]

[ First Strike activates. ]

[ Critical activates. ]

[ Back Attack activates. ]

Skills activating in rapid succession.

Without stopping, he killed all the retainers as well.

The soldiers nearby froze.

They were shocked by the tragedy that had occurred in an instant.

Choi Hyun did not stop his momentum.

He immediately beheaded the Preuzan Ruler and raised both the head and sword, saying.

“Everyone pay attention!! It’s all over now!! All of the Pruzan Family bloodline is dead!! So stop fighting now!!”

Choi Hyun’s voice rang out resoundingly.

It was a cry announcing the end of the territorial war.
