Chapter 418

"It sounds as if you knew we were coming here, Knight of Peletta."

"Do you know who I am?"

"It's impossible not to know the dogs that were running around looking for us everywhere in Tainu."

It was a nearly provocative statement, but the knight didn't respond. His attitude seemed to indicate that he was satisfied with the answer he got. Nahan asked again.

"So, what's the answer? I asked first, after all."

"His Lordship said you would certainly come here."

The knight finally opened his tightly closed lips and spoke. With a look that was more desert-tribe-like than anyone, the aura he wore was as cold as a winter lake.

"To achieve what you desire, killing the Baron’s younger brother inside, along with Baron Willhem, and exposing it to the world, will be the most efficient method, and therefore, I will not give it up."

"..."

"The turmoil you've created outside is just a distraction, isn't it true that you've come this far because what you really want is that person?"

"You seem to think you know very well what we want."

"Seeing that you're not denying it, I guess so." Nêww chapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(e)l/bin(.)com

Nahan responded without showing the slightest perturbation, but the expression on Hosanna's face behind him turned unconcealably pale.

The Commander of the Cavalry, Duke Peletta, had not been wrong in his conjecture at all.

'How did he know...?'

"So, why did the Commander of the Cavalry know we would come here, yet sent an ordinary knight instead of a member?"

"He said to practice."

"...Practice?"

Nahan, who slowly retorted, shortly after burst into a small laugh, as if finding it ridiculous.

"Did you treat me as a mere practice dummy for someone who is not even my brother? That's interesting. Did you really think it would be possible and come all the way here?"

"You'll know if you try."

The one who responded slowly and calmly then grabbed the sword that had been hanging loosely with both hands. A sharp premonition flowed over the raised silvery blade.

'What is this feeling? I'm scared, even though he's just holding a sword. I don't understand why.'

Hosanna was having such thoughts while looking at the impeccably clean sword that didn't show the slightest bit of energy, when Nahan opened his mouth with a similar thought.

"I thought a knight who knows how to use Aura would be confident, but why not use it? I must ask, are you an Awakener?"

'Ah, yes. That's right. I've heard that the Cavalry has those with abilities resembling Aura.'

If the man were an Awakener, this strange feeling could somehow be explained. However, contrary to their speculation, the knight shook his head.

"No."

At that moment, the knight again revealed himself and launched an attack. Dodging back, Nahan spat out his words as though grinding them between his teeth near Hosanna.

“I suspect he might not even have what we consider fear, besides his hidden power.”

“...What?”

Hosanna turned his head. A sour taste began to creep in beyond his gradually labored breathing, but he couldn’t help it. A fearless person? Could such a person exist?

With a thoughtful expression, Nahan slowly opened his mouth.

“It seems I have no choice but to give something away, as I did when I faced his master before. Stop using the teleportation ability now, Hosanna.”

"No!"

"If things continue like this, you'll exhaust your energy before achieving our goal, and we won't be able to escape."

"...But!"

"Hosanna."

Hosanna couldn't say a word in response. Nahan, his face streaked with blood, wiped it away gently and spoke quietly.

"He will be my opponent, so you go to the third floor and find our target. The moment you find them, kill them, and then escape with me. Can you do it?"

"But, but... I have never... not even once..."

"Just because you've never killed someone doesn't mean you can't do it now. You're my only option at this point."

In the words of the man whose face was half-covered with burns, there was a heavy and terrifying resonance. Hosanna couldn't meet his pale eyes and bowed his head. His clenched hands turned cold and trembled uncontrollably.

"...Hosanna."

"...I understand."

But faced with that unyielding expression, the only response he could muster was that simple agreement.

Hosanna nodded his head, his throat tensing as he used his teleportation ability once more.

As soon as he headed towards the corridor on the third floor, the knight, who seemed to have been waiting for them, raised his sword, looking no different than before. His appearance was more akin to a defensive wall than a human being.
