Chapter 54: Report

One by one, the individuals in black cloaks dropped to the g. Their bodies fading into the air as they turned to dust.

Merlin, with a water shaped dragon suring her body, watched as they faded into the air.

"Assassin classes, sigh, so annoying." She muttered to herself, before turning to the side where she could see Mordred, stabbing the bodies of the individuals, before th slicing off their heads.

All a here were the dead bodies of these individuals, their body parts soaked in their own blood.

"Tsk! Disgusting bunch, I was so angry I forgot to keep one alive." Mordred sighed, wiping the blood on her face, "How the hell do I find that idiot now?".

"You were able to kill them? They kept regerating, weird." Said Merlin as she approached.

Mordred looked at her, "Curses and most magic types don't work on my blade, they were probably getting a direct magic source keeping them immortal, my blade severed that." She answered.

"How come this is the first I'm hearing of this?" Merlin looked perplexed.

Mordred simply raised her shoulders.

Merlin sighed, "Anyway, let's go fine Ha Joon, if something happs to him, you know damn well Artoria is going to lose it".

"Since wh does she ever care about anything other than the kingdom?" Mordred asked back.

"You are seriously asking me that?" Merlin's face was hitched with a deadpanish expression.

Meanwhile, Ha Joon was moonwalking in the backg with Sinex on his shoulder.

"You're the one blabbing about her being worried. I'll find the idiot myself, I don't need your help." Mordred spoke back.

"Ohhhh, I see how it is? You want to help him so he thinks you were the only one strong ough to, and you're secretly hoping for him to reward you, oh you naughty girl." Merlin placed her hand in front of her mouth teasingingly.

"W-What?! That's not what...why on earth would i... shut up!" Mordred pointed her blade at Merlin.

"Ohhhh, I do remember us having a duel before, I don't mind us continuing that fight." Merlin said with a smile.

Mordred frowned, "You think I can't?".

"Ar't you two just a ball of sunshine".

Merlin and Mordred's eyes gaped the momt they heard Ha Joon's voice.

.....

Bakkk!

Artoria took a swing, hitting the dummy on the head with her wood blade.

Bakk!

She took another shot, hitting yet another body part.

She th moved her sword back, before slashing it to the side.

"It's be a while since I've battled." Artoria uttered to herself, gtly placing the wood sword back in its slot on the wall.

"Now that I think about it, I hav't had a reason to battle ever since he arrived. That explains why I feel weird, if I can't battle, I'll feel useless as king, all I've be doing is signing bills and accepting documts."

Sigh!

"Perhaps I'm losing my edge, all I think about is war, and killing those who stand against Camelot, but these days-"

Artoria suddly pictured Ha Joon's face.

Her face turned red a bit before she sighed once again.

"Maybe I'm just sick."

The door to the training room oped.

"Artoria darling, we may or may not have a problem on our hands." Merkin walked into the room with Lancelot and Belinda beside her.

"Your highness." Lancelot wt to his knees and bowed his head.

Belinda did the same.

"Merlin, what's happing? I thought you were supposed to be with Ha Joon, did something happ to him?" Artoria asked as she turned a to look at them.

Lancelot couldn't help but feel disgust at the mtion of Ha Joon's name.

"We were attacked by a group of cult earlier, Belinda here says she has countered them before, these people ar't just any cult... they claim to be right under the goddess of Discord, Ishtar, yes, that goddess."
