Chapter 38: Joint Struggle

The Lilith Central Hospital stood among one of the largest structures in the city.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

Along the corridor, which was wide enough to accommodate at least three beds, Matthias walked soundlessly.

Even though it was nighttime, the noises that arose from everyday occurrences were not audible at all, especially on this particular day since all the patients had been transferred to the basement.

Even Matthias, an assassin by trade, had no intention of implicating unrelated people. Now the concentration on his work could be unrestrained.

No one had been encountered so far in this after breaking into the hospital, despite the fact that the hospital room where the Princess was sleeping was just around the next corner. No matter how thoroughly Matthias has suppressed all signs of his presence, the fact that not a single sentry has been spotted up to this point probably reflected that the forces were converging on the front of the main building. Instead of spreading out their forces, they were gathering all of their forces within the inner citadel in order to avoid inflicting needless harm, where the enemy would undoubtedly attempt to attack there. However, doing so would mean that they would temporarily abandon measures against assailants other than Matthias.

In other words, Hunter has either been overthrown or dealt with in some other way.

And when Matthias turned the corner, a young man with the moonlight behind him stood at the end of the corridor.

There was no surprise attack that he had anticipated. Perhaps he sensed that it would be futile against Matthias. Even when Matthias showed up, the young guy didnt seem phased; he just pointed his magical toolwhich even Matthias had never laid his eyes onat Matthias.

Matthias was persuaded by that aspect alone that the young man standing in front of him was of a higher rank than the Shiva he had just met.

But Rain and the others were already aware of this.

Once the trap was averted by Matthias, the door to the left sickroom was kicked open sharply, and Sharon flew out at the wind-like velocity.

Sharon Rose, a member of Selbeth Academys 61st graduating class. While currently a member of the Garrison Corps, in her student days she also served as a Kaguya commander, and her spectacular war achievements were passed down as a kind of legend even among the later generation of Kaguya.

Accordingly, she successfully passed the qualifying round of the student knight competition with no magic in use and excelled in the finals. She was the sole fifth-class magician among all former Kaguya commanders throughout her service, and single-handedly defeated a rate S- wanted person at that time

You seem to be an expert at close-range combat, but unfortunately for you, I specialize in that!

!?

An attempted knee strike to the jaw by Sharon was guarded by Matthias with both hands. But then Matthias figured out that he had misjudged the situation.

Wrong. This is a two-stage kick

Shiiii!

A sorcery-enhanced roundhouse kick landed directly on Matthias unguarded side of the head at the following instant, blowing Matthias body back.
