123. Am I the king of life?

I thought I was the only one who could get this far before Serge Geis.

But I guess I was overly self-conscious.

‘Well, they still don’t know that King Sal is dead.’

In fact, King Sal was bound to be a more expert in this kind of infiltration than I was. Plus, just looking at my outfit right now, I was a king of flesh. It feels even more so because they are hiding even their presence.

Anyway, I shouldn’t have panicked.

I opened my mouth calmly.

“You don’t usually notice.”

“Heh, is that so?”

Fortunately, Serge Geis had no suspicions. It was a fortunate situation for me.

‘If I do this, do I have to pretend to be the king of flesh?’

At that moment, a good idea occurred to me.

‘No, should I blame King Sal for everything that happened like this?’

There was quite a stir in Trier at the moment. Of course, it was all because of what I did.

‘Hmm, I couldn’t help it.’

Suddenly, a student from the special department and head of the Zenith upper branch disappear, a loud explosion occurs in the mansion, and the elixir will soon disappear as well.

At this level, there was nothing to say even if the royal family made a major move. And if you’re unlucky, you could get caught.

But what if all of this is blamed on the dead King of Sal?

‘We are taking advantage of the notoriety that King Sal has.’

If this happens, only King Sal will be pursued.

For a moment my eyes lit up.

I thought it was a really good idea.

I opened my mouth. Of course, I spoke in a highly modulated voice.

“You killed a disciple, and then the teacher came forward?”

“What?”

“Heh, no.”

“Perhaps you…!”

Serge Geis understood what I said at once. There was no need to elaborate further here. This was enough.

At that time, Serge Geis’ voice was heard again.

“Wait a minute. Come to think of it, there have been a lot of strange disappearances in Trier recently. Were you also responsible for the disappearance of the Zenith branch manager?”

I didn’t answer. I just kept my mouth shut.

But this was enough of an answer.

“……Did you? Come to think of it, there was information that you and Zenith Danang were in a partnership. Did you betray me?”

He asked his own questions and made his own judgment.

This is it.

It was much easier to blame King Sal than I thought.

However, the difficult part started now.

‘We must safely take the elixir and escape from Serge Geis.’

This was the most difficult.

I was a little worried. And then I said something different to him. It was as if he didn’t want to talk about the topic we were talking about anymore.

“More than that, if you knew my identity, you would also know my assassination skills, right? Rather, get your hands off this matter. Then, let’s move on quietly.”

“Hmm…!”

It was a recitation of the threat King Sal had given me last time.

And it was not for nothing that King Sal made this threat.

This worked quite well.

I soon saw Serge Geis looking like he had been hit.

“……What if you refuse?”

“It would be better not to think about sleeping comfortably from now on. And it won’t end with just you.”

“Is that so?”

Once again, very few people could ignore King Sal’s assassination.

And this does not include Serge Geis.

Soon, I saw his face in distress.

“Make a decision quickly.”

“What do you mean by not moving on to just me…?”

“The person who ordered you to do this will also be targeted. Probably, the highest person in the Kingdom of Aachen would fall into this category.”

“Ha… I can’t help it.”

Soon Serge Geis appeared to have made a decision.

I said that I would even aim for the king.

Of course he had no choice but to accept my offer…

Cheaeng!

It wasn’t.

Soon the sound of a sword being drawn was heard.

And the swords started flying towards me at high speed.

Wedge-!!

‘No, you refuse this?’

Actually, I didn’t have high expectations either. He was a knight among knights. There was no way for a knight to compromise with an assassin.

‘You probably thought that if you got rid of me here, everything would be resolved.’

Anyway, it was a pretty embarrassing situation.

I had to offer strength. This meant that only the power of the King of Sal should be used.

Most likely, if you use excessive force, you will be caught immediately.

‘Can’t we help it?’

Of course, there was no need to fight. If you were a swordsman of the level of Serge Geis, you could recognize his skills just by touching his sword.

I immediately pulled back.

And I prepared to run away quickly.

Soon my image disappeared in thin air.

Slurp.

“Did you use a secret?!”

He thought he had used the secret technique that King Sal had shown him last time.

Of course not.

It just moved quickly.

I moved quickly and hid myself under the tablecloth. And I hid my presence as much as possible.

It felt like playing hide and seek as a child.

“Hmm…! Even if I hid, it would definitely be here!”

Fortunately, he didn’t notice my movements. I thought he used the body-disappearing technique that King Sal had shown before.

Soon a terrible sound began to fill the surroundings.

“Silver spirit sword.”

It was the sound of him using his secret sword technique.

Squirt-!! Squirt-!!

I knew that technique.

It was a fairly famous technique, with silver sword energy surrounding all directions. In a way, it was similar to the warrior’s heavenly sword.

‘However, the power is a little weak.’

Of course, there was no need to worry.

A silver black energy clearly filled the room.

But strangely enough.

The only table was intact.

He adjusted the range because of the elixir.

Of course, I was safe hiding under the table.

I quickly lost in thought under the table.

‘I have to think of a way.’

I couldn’t just hide like this.

Oh, of course I could run away. All I had to do was make a hole in the floor and escape.

But then he runs away, leaving the elixir behind. That didn’t work.

‘Is there some way?’

I also thought about drilling a hole in the table from underneath. However, there was no way the designer had not prepared for that.

‘Probably, even if the table is damaged, the elixir will be destroyed.’

Besides that, there was also a way to hold the elixir at extreme speed. However, my hands couldn’t be faster than lightning. This didn’t work either.

‘Should I just take the whole thing with me?’

It was then.

A good idea suddenly occurred to me.

‘Oh yeah! You can take the whole thing with you. ‘Why didn’t I think of this?’

It seemed like I was thinking too much about common sense. Sometimes bold thinking is necessary.

I quickly took out the space bag from my arms.

‘I’m putting the whole thing in a space pocket.’

The space pocket could hold one wagon’s worth of luggage. And currently, the inside of the space pocket was empty. The space to enter was full and overflowing.

I immediately opened my pocket. Then I attached the mouth of the pocket to the table.

‘You just have to wait like this for about 10 seconds. But… is it possible?’

Generally, 10 seconds was a very short time. But for superhumans like Serge Geis and me, it wasn’t short at all.

I counted 10 seconds in my mind. It was a more tense 10 seconds than ever before.

’10, 9, 8, 7.’

Fortunately, it went well until 3 seconds. But soon a problem arose.

“That’s strange? There is no feeling of being caught.”

At that moment, Serge Geis’ voice was heard from outside the table. It was a voice that I immediately realized was strange.

Soon the presence of Serge Geis was felt. It felt like my body was moving quickly.

“Surely he went out already? no. King Sal can’t be that fast.”

I held on to my trembling heart and used magic.

Oh, I didn’t attack Serge Geis.

Soon a wind sword appeared and a hole opened in the floor. He had prepared to run away in advance.

‘I used silence magic at the same time, so the sound wouldn’t have leaked out.’

I caught the circle that was about to fall with telekinesis magic. And so I continued to waste time.

‘There are two seconds left!’

It was the long-awaited 2 seconds. If I could just hold on to this, I could escape safely.

But no luck.

“Couldn’t it be here?”

Suddenly, Serge Geis’ hand appeared inside the tablecloth.

In the end, he sensed something strange.

Soon the tablecloth began to rise.

It was a moment of desperation.

‘hurry!!’

I quickly shouted inside.

I don’t know why the remaining 1 or 2 seconds don’t last like this.

It was that moment.

Pot-!!

Suddenly the entire table disappeared.

In the end, the space pocket swallowed the entire table.

I canceled the telekinesis spell I was holding at that moment.

Soon my body started to go down. It was the natural law of gravity.

I fell down and glanced at Serge Geis.

He had a very embarrassed face. So I couldn’t respond at all.

‘Well, I wouldn’t have guessed that the entire table would suddenly disappear.’

It will be like seeing magic.

I smiled lightly.

I felt like I was a legendary thief.

Soon Serge Geis disappeared from sight.

In the end, I came down to the lower floor.

I immediately moved to the window. I could see that there was no room for pride.

I quickly move to the window.

I immediately went outside through the open window.

Sooo!!

Of course, I didn’t forget to fly quickly.

Soon a strong wind began to hit my cheek. And that feeling was better than anything else.

It felt like something refreshing.

However, I couldn’t rest assured.

“Is it there!!”

This was because at that moment, the voice of a warrior was heard. The warrior did not fight with the blood sword without any thought.

He also had thoughts.

‘Probably, he was planning to wait for the moment to come out of the building.’

If it weren’t for me, Serge Geis would have taken the elixir. And he won’t drink the elixir inside. This was because they had to present a tribute to the king. Therefore, all you had to do was target that time and take it.

However, unfortunately for the hero.

‘I’m not Serge Geis.’

Soon, bloody sword energy started flying towards me. The hero was aiming at me.

It was clear that he thought I was Serge Geis and attacked me.

Of course, once again, I was not Serge Geis.

And that means…

Swish.

‘An attack like this can be easily avoided.’

I easily dodged the sword that flew at me. Of course, I didn’t avoid it outright. It was as if I had been lucky enough to avoid it.

‘If you’re the king of cancer, you should avoid it like this.’

Soon, black energy passed over my head. It must be a very disappointing sight for the warrior.

“Avoiding that?! Then, try avoiding this too!”

I saw the warrior trying to throw his sword at me again.

But there was no need to worry.

I ignored the hero and started running away quickly.

Squirt-!!

And there was a reason for everything.

“No, if you do this, you will lose too!”

“Ah! I don’t know! How dare you touch me?!”

This was because the blood sword would not leave the warrior alone. Soon, the blood sword began to attach itself to the warrior like a leech.

Of course, it was the best situation for me.

So I walked away from the mansion.

Serge Geis caught up late.

But I could see that it was already too late.

‘You’re slower than the king of flesh, so where are you trying to catch me?’
