Chapter 14
‘Аrrоw.’
Аs Кhan silentlу rесitеd thе incantatiоn, bluе mana аrrows formеd аrоund him.
Аt Lеvеl 4, the number оf arrows hе сould сurrеntlу сrеatе was tеn.
“This guy, hе’s а rеаl mage!!”
“R-run аwaу!!”
The assаssins, whо had never seеn а proper magе bеfore, shouted with their еуes wide оpеn.
“First, lеt’s rерort to the boss…!”
Тhey turnеd thеir bаcks to flее, but it wаs alreаdy toо late.
Flick.
Khаn еxtendеd thе hand hоlding his staff towаrd the assassins.
Vwоom…!!
Sssshwааaaaak!!!!
Thеn, the tеn mаnа arrоws around him shоt tоwаrd the assаssins, emitting а bluе light.
Тhud. Тhud. Тhud.
“Guhk…!!”
“Gwaааk!!”
Тhe mаnа arrows pierced through the assassins’ chests and passed right through.
Ting! Ting!
However, a few of them blocked the arrows with the daggers in their hands.
And they stopped their fleeing footsteps and looked back at Khan.
“That guy is alone! It’ll take time for him to cast the next magic anyway! Kill him quickly!”
“Right.”
“He’s nothing special anyway.”
“There’s no way a real mage would be in this neighborhood in the first place.”
The ‘Arrow’ Khan used was a 1st-grade skill, so honestly, its power wasn’t particularly strong.
It was a skill good for dealing with low-level monsters.
And if he were an ordinary mage, he would either lack the mana to use the next skill, or it would take quite some time to use the next magic due to cooldown and casting time.
Swish!
Swish!
The assassins began rushing toward Khan quickly.
But this time too, Khan showed no panic at all and merely recited the incantation.
‘Arrow.’
Vwoom…!!
Vwoom…!!
With the manifestation of blue mana, mana arrows instantly formed again.
“What the hell, that bastard…!”
“Just kill him quickly!”
The assassins couldn’t understand how Khan had used magic again.
Before they knew it, they had reached right in front of Khan.
The daggers swung by the assassins flew toward Khan’s neck, chest, and stomach.
‘Barrier.’
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
This time too, Khan merely recited the incantation silently and did nothing.
All the daggers swung by the assassins were deflected by the transparent veil enveloping his body,
Sssshwaaaaaaak!
Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.
and the ten mana arrows around him pierced through the remaining assassins’ bodies and passed right through.
Splurt!!!!
Blood gushed out like a fountain from the skin where the arrows passed.
Fortunately, Khan had a barrier wrapped around his body, so no blood got on his body or clothes.
‘Is this the level of Level 5?’
Compared to when Khan played the game, the difficulty was far too easy.
After all, he had just dealt with eight Level 5 assassins alone without moving a single step.
He had killed people right before his eyes, but he felt no guilt or anything like that.
Even though holes were pierced in people’s chests and blood gushed out, he wasn’t shaken.
‘This must also be because of the Sage’s Heart.’
Seeing that the squad leader of the assassination squad, Godrik, wasn’t here, he must have gone upstairs.
Having put out the urgent fire, he needed to go upstairs immediately.
But then.
Click.
“K-Khan Gong…!”
Deilis, who had been sleeping inside the room, opened the door and came out.
“It seems they were after you too.”
Deilis alternately looked at the two mercenaries collapsed in front of the room door and the pitifully dead assassins, quickly understanding the current situation.
‘I clearly asked Khan Gong to protect Sharin… Why is he on the 1st floor…? No, more than that, if it weren’t for Sir Khan, I would be the one lying here…’
Before he knew it, he was looking at Khan with a moved expression.
‘I clearly asked him to escort Sharin… To save even my lowly life…. Sniff…!!’
A very faint amount of tears welled up in Deilis’s eyes.
“Khan Gong, really……!”
Deilis intended to at least convey his thanks, but his words couldn’t continue to the end.
“We’ll talk later. Your daughter is in danger. There might be more assassins hiding elsewhere, so you run to where the mercenaries are for now.”
“A… Alright!”
Having said that, Khan immediately quickly went back up to the 2nd floor where Sharin’s room was.
“Kyaaak!!!!”
When he went up to the 2nd floor, Sharin’s room door was open, and her scream could be heard from inside.
Khan hurriedly ran there, and Byutek was standing in front of Sharin, holding a longsword.
Facing him were two men.
One was nothing special, but the other was a guy even the current Khan would find tricky to deal with.
[LV.5 Skull Assassination Squad Executive]
[LV.8 Skull Assassination Squad Leader Godrik]
Godrik, whose size was about 1.5 times larger than an average adult male, was there with one assassin.
“What, did the guys on the 1st floor get taken down.”
“It seems so.”
“To die by the hands of such a greenhorn, useless bastards. You handle this guy. He’s hollow inside. For a guy like this to be a knight…”
As Godrik said that, Byutek, who was facing him, shouted angrily.
“What? How dare an assassin disregard a knight of Kilpheon?”
Byutek shouted loudly at Godrik without knowing his place, but he just ignored him.
The assassin standing next to Godrik approached Byutek and swung his sword.
Swish!
Clang!!!
“Your opponent is me.”
“Where does this lackey bastard think he…!”
Clangclangclang…!!
Ssswaaaak!!!
Ssswaak!!
The fierce exchange of attacks and defenses between Byutek and the assassin continued.
It wasn’t clearly visible to Khan’s eyes, but it seemed Byutek was being pushed back a bit.
‘But I need Byutek’s help to kill Godrik.’
First of all, to clear the early section of the quest, he had to defeat Godrik, who was Level 8.
A quest absolutely impossible to do alone.
In the original game, you had to fail the quest a few times, level up, and then clear it.
But now that it had become reality, the moment you failed, you would die.
“Let’s see what this mage brat can do. I don’t know how my subordinates got taken down, but tricks like that won’t work on me.”
Swoosh—!
Godrik drew the greatsword he had on his back and approached Khan.
Khan didn’t answer Godrik’s words and silently recited the incantation.
‘Arrow.’
‘Barrier.’
A transparent veil enveloping Khan’s body, and the ten blue mana arrows that formed around him.
“Hoh… Ten mana arrows at once? I seem to have misjudged the person. It makes sense they got taken down. Kuhaha!! But it won’t work on me!”
Swish!
Whoosh!!
As soon as Godrik’s words ended, he rushed at Khan with tremendous speed.
His speed was quite fast, mismatching his large build.
Clang!!!
Crack—
His sword flew as if to split Khan’s head in half, but it was blocked by the barrier.
‘His movements are too fast, I can’t see them at all…’
It was good he used the barrier in advance.
Otherwise, he would have died in an instant.
The level difference was one thing, but Khan, who chose the mage class, had significantly lower reaction speed and stamina compared to other classes.
Even if they were the same level, it would have been impossible to follow Godrik’s movements with his eyes.
“Is it a shield made of mana? It’s my first time seeing it, interesting. But to me, it’s just a trick!”
The weakness of the 1st-grade skill Barrier appeared here.
The barrier cracked from just one attack.
It was a situation where he could die if he made a mistake, but Khan wasn’t panicked at all.
‘Barrier.’
As he silently recited the incantation again, another invisible transparent veil formed around Khan.
Clang!!
Crack—
As Godrik swung his greatsword, the barrier cracked again this time.
The moment the barrier cracked, Khan immediately recited the incantation again.
Clang!!
Crack—
Clang!!
Crack—
After repeating that a few times, when a slight opening appeared.
Khan extended the staff he was holding in his hand forward.
Sssshwaaaaaak!!!
The mana arrows that had been standing still around Khan finally shot toward Godrik.
“Hmph, useless.”
As Khan’s magic arrows flew toward him, Godrik hid his body by placing his greatsword, as large as his own body, in front of him.
Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.
Splurt!!!
But what Khan aimed for wasn’t Godrik, but the assassin fighting Byutek.
The assassin who had been exchanging attacks and defenses with Byutek died as his body was pierced by the magic arrow.
“You bastard…!!”
Godrik swung his sizable greatsword at Khan again upon seeing that.
Clang!!!!
Crack—
“Die! Just die!!”
Clang!!
Crack—
Clang!!
Crack—
Godrik swung his large greatsword incessantly, but Khan’s barrier never broke.
He felt as if he were striking down a giant wall with his sword.
‘Arrow.’
Vwoom…!!
Sssshwaaaaaaak!!!
The magic arrows that had appeared around Khan before anyone knew it now flew quickly toward Godrik this time.
Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!
But Khan’s magic arrows were helplessly blocked by Godrik’s greatsword.
“Byutek.”
If things continued like this, it probably wouldn’t end.
Or it could be a situation where Godrik, enraged, might suddenly rush at Sharin and kill her.
Khan called Byutek, and Byutek, as if he knew, rushed at Godrik.
“Huaaap!!”
He let out a strange battle cry and swung his longsword at Godrik.
Clang!!!
Thwack!
Bang!
Byutek’s full-force single strike was lightly blocked by Godrik, and he kicked Byutek away.
“Guhk…!”
Byutek, who flew far and hit the wall, fainted on the spot.
‘He’s not even sufficient as a meat shield…’
Still, it was a mistake to have expected that Byutek would be of even a little help if he progressed the quest together.
Sssshwaaaaaak!!!!
Khan shot the magic arrows he had created before anyone knew it at Godrik, but Godrik reacted to all of them too.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
“Die!!!”
Godrik, perhaps very angry, swung his greatsword with his bulging arm muscles.
Khan kept creating barriers and barely managed to block his attacks.
During that, Khan and Sharin, who was trembling in the corner of the bed, made eye contact.
“Do everything you can!”
Khan, who always had a calm tone, shouted at Sharin like that, and Sharin also realized what Khan’s words meant.
Sharin, making a gesture as if she understood, began to draw up mana.
Vwoom…!!!
The one Circle in Sharin’s heart surged and emitted blue mana.
Godrik paid no attention to Sharin like that and was busy continuously swinging his sword at Khan.
That was his mistake.
As Sharin stretched out her hand, blue mana chains were created.
The mana chains flew toward Godrik, who was swinging his sword, and began to wrap around his entire body.
“What is this!!”
Godrik’s body was instantly bound, and his movements were completely restricted.
Khan didn’t miss that moment and immediately shot Arrow at Godrik.
Crackle!!!
As Godrik exerted strength, the mana chains Sharin created broke.
But it was already a situation where Khan’s magic arrow had flown right in front of Godrik’s eyes.
“Die.”
Along with Khan’s shout, the magic arrow pierced Godrik’s head.
Splurt—!
[You have cleared the quest.]
[You have acquired an extremely small amount of experience points as a reward.]
[Your level has increased.]
Before his eyes, the message and the sight of Godrik with blood spurting from his head overlapped.
