“This is going nowhere. Kill the boy!”

The assassins must have understood the difference in combat power as well. The group’s leader and a band of five individuals who seemed particularly skilled fell into formation, hiding one another, then rushed swiftly toward Isaac.

This wasn’t a normal formation in which they covered one another’s positions.

It was an offensive formation—or, more accurately, a formation geared toward surprise attacks—in which each member hid in the blind spots created by the others’ figures. A wishy-washy attack wouldn’t bother Isaac’s Armor of Divine Flame one bit, but Iselus, whom he’d flung over his shoulder, was different. In particular, if they used poison darts, nothing would be more of a pain. He could swear he wouldn’t let him die, but the day a stray arrow hit Iselus, there was no telling what kind of harassment he’d get from the maids.

With a ferocious smile, Isaac turned around, unleashed Merciless Strike as a parting gift, then set off running with Random Step.

“Iselus, don’t breathe that stuff. Just hang out up there a bit longer.”

“I can’t, Isaac the Young!”

As Isaac had expected, the pseudoninjas chased after him. Well, no, they were probably really after Iselus, on his shoulder. There were five of them. His earring was vibrating slightly, alerting him to hostility. There seemed to be several more of them lurking outside the hall as well.

Isaac had seen that coming. In the first place, he and the others had realized early on that spies were watching them. Shiroe had also warned them that the spies might be planning some sort of attack.

They probably could have caught a few of them. However, they hadn’t thought they’d be able to shut down their plan or see the whole of it that way. The Knights of the Black Sword was a large-scale guild specially designed for combat: Intrigue and urban espionage were outside their field of expertise.

For that reason, they’d decided to let them attack and round up the whole group at once. He didn’t think that had been a mistake. Every member of the ruling family had a guard covering them.
