Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 710

As a legendary assassin, Noi Tanissa has many aliases.

The person concerned did not remember them properly because he wanted his own name to be a greater threat than the various nicknames, but most of them were related to shadows.

It was obvious what it meant for an assassin to be given the nickname of Shadow. Noi Tanissa’s stealth skills were outstanding and his infiltration skills were considered unparalleled.

However, contrary to the evaluations of those around him, Noi himself did not think much of his own infiltration skills.

He couldn’t deny that his shabbiness helped, as the best hiding is to remain unnoticed and forgotten, but he truly believed that it was a shabby ability compared to his own abilities.

And it really was like that.

In a world where magic is so common, he simply chose the traditional and cumbersome method.

“It’s the same for humans, but it’s even worse for demons. Regardless of race, humans tend to crawl only in the direction they feel most comfortable with.”

They use magic to monitor, magic to hide, magic to kill, and so they also use magic to track. Noi, who recognized that trivial blind spot, chose to exclude magic from all work.

“I guess Mr. Noi was determined to use that change to his advantage.”

“That’s it. It wasn’t as easy as it sounds…”

Even though they are expensive and cumbersome to manage, I trained myself to not rely on magic tools and learned how to erase my tracks along with tracking techniques.

Thanks to the fact that he prepared and carried out the entire process in a classical manner that could be called anachronistic, he was able to survive for a long time and, after going through many practical battles, he has reached the present.

“I think it’s great that you can reach an equal level just by walking the same path as Noi-nim, but···”

The words of the special forces agent, who reacts as if he has heard a heroic tale, are half sincere and half pretentious.

The special forces already knew the character of Noyra. They also knew his working methods, but since he was the first to speak and gave them a chance to strengthen their relationship, there was no reason to turn him down, so they just answered him in a coquettish manner.

The Special Operations Unit agent’s calculations were probably correct, as the corners of Noy’s bearded mouth twitched upward for a moment.

“That might be the case… This is crazy…”

Although it started out as a matter of having nothing to do while standing on a tree in the forest at a considerable distance from Levien and observing his subordinates entering the city through his telescope, Noi was enjoying the conversation with the Special Operations Department agent so much that he would have continued to chat if it weren’t for the sight he had just caught through his telescope.

In other words, it meant that he was no longer happy because of the sight he had witnessed firsthand.

“They all died”

“yes?”

“I killed all my subordinates.”

Even with the master-level vision and the telescope, it was difficult to see the process of death clearly due to limitations, but it was clear that five people died without any time to react properly.

“That guy is the famous Eldmia.”

“···Weren’t you observing the gate?”

“Do I really need to explain to you that he showed up at the gate?”

Noi came down from the tree pretending to laugh playfully, but his mood instantly became uncomfortable.

If he hadn’t known the mutant wizard’s disguise, he wouldn’t have even realized that they were his subordinates. The magic was so perfect. How on earth did he catch that?

“Why now of all times···”

“It’s too exquisite to be a coincidence, so I guess it’s right to think that the ones that were planted inside beforehand were caught. I don’t know if they all died or only some were caught, but the plan… definitely went awry.”

It doesn’t seem like the pursuit team came out and they knew about it and caught it in advance. So should we consider that there is still some time to spare? As Noi continued to think about how to fix the broken plan while folding the telescope and putting it in his bosom, something unfamiliar touched his fingertips.

It was a support item received directly from the Demon King before leaving the capital.

‘Write this when you feel like you’re going to have a hard time handling it.’

‘What is this? Is it edible?’

‘Yes, a kind of magic detonator.’

The demon king, who had become increasingly haggard, handed over a small bead-like object. Noi, who had accepted the object with no smell and was examining it here and there, frowned in discomfort.

Although he has been known to have many problems recently, he has been called the Demon King of Foresight since he started the rebellion and has shown amazing insight. It is surprising that he, who has never withdrawn troops from the capital defense force, has given himself a new request, and he is giving him this item out of the blue.

Doesn’t it seem as if he is expecting himself to fail?

‘Do you think I can’t kill one half-baked warrior right now?’

‘If you look at your skills alone? Even if you leave aside the possibility, it’s amazing that you survived. However, if you look at the influence of the gods who protect the existence of warriors, it’s a different story.’

‘It’s funny. When you, who ignores God, say something like that, it feels so credible to the listener.’

It could be said that it was an excessive statement, but there was no restraint on Noi in the wide hallway. It was natural since he had taken the Demon King’s side under a contract that allowed him to do so.

‘Everything goes wrong when it reaches its end, whether it’s an insect or a god.’

And the Demon King who had made the contract himself just shrugged his shoulders and responded as if it was nothing. The long clothes and the cotton thread covering his face rustled as he followed the movement, but the Demon King’s face was not revealed.

‘The difference is that, unlike insects that are trampled to death, those who have been touched by the divine can go wild and bring about results that go beyond common sense.’

‘For example?’

‘Making mistakes that absolutely cannot happen’

‘I don’t make mistakes’

It was a reflexive answer mixed with anger and discontent, but it wasn’t completely wrong, so Noi was confident. Then, the Demon King nodded in agreement as if he had no intention of refuting it.

‘That may be possible, but even if it’s you, you can’t stop the ground you’re standing on from suddenly collapsing, right?’

‘That’s about it···’

‘It’s something like that, you can just jump up and touch different ground. But what if, in a life-or-death situation, you take a step forward to strike the enemy with the final blow and your balance is upset because you step on weak ground?’

The strangely specific description left Noy speechless. If he could overcome that, it would be a lie.

But the Demon King didn’t laugh or anything when he saw Noi speechless.

‘That’s what divinity is. That’s why we should feel anger towards the god who abandoned us despite having such power. If you don’t have a use for it, then take it.’

I just quietly turn around and wave my hand to see him off.

The back of the Demon King, who was moving without any hesitation and without even listening to an answer, seemed to already know that Noi would not throw away the thing he had given him.

‘Fuck·’

It is not a pleasant memory at all. In fact, there was a time when I tried to throw it away because the Demon King’s attitude was not good. The reason I didn’t do that was because I didn’t feel any power from this tiny bead.

It’s not too late to throw it away later since it won’t be a problem. I had been holding onto that thought, but I never thought that the thing I was holding onto would end up making me feel this bad.

“···First, let’s approach Levien. Unless he has two bodies, the guys who approached from the south gate should have gotten in safely. It’ll be a bit tight, but it’ll be fine. ”

He hurried his steps to shake off his memories and feelings as quickly as possible. The special operations agent who had been silently guarding his position quickly followed him. It may be because you can create capable subordinates, but you cannot create tactful subordinates. The attitude of the special operations agent who catered to his exact tastes was quite helpful in relieving Noi’s discomfort.

But even that relaxed feeling soon plummeted as I got closer to Levien.

Suddenly, without any warning, a ray of pure white light appeared from somewhere in Levien.

“Hee heeeek!”

When Noi first saw the light, he didn’t know what it was. So he was puzzled by the sight of the special forces agent suddenly falling backwards in shock, and he had to turn his head to look at the light that didn’t disappear and him.

“What is that? What is that?”

“This warrior’s magic is clear! It’s not good. It’s really not good…”

“Fuck, you have to tell me what’s wrong so I can understand, what’s the problem?”

Even though he said that, he wasn’t particularly offended by the way the special forces agent had acted before, but the answer that came back with full fear made him furrow his brows in earnest.

“I don’t know”

“what?”

“There is no way to know what effect it has or why it stands out so much. That’s the problem.”

“What kind of crazy nonsense is that?”

Are you acting like a scared little dog because of a ray of light that you don’t even know what it is? Noi’s hands, which were about to be killed like his subordinates because of the momentary irritation, were stopped by the words of the special operations department agent who was not finished yet.

“The northern front line was blown away by that beam of light, and an elite special forces agent chasing the Demon Sect almost died in that light. The former was a violent act that left witnesses with an indescribable shock, and the latter is not yet known exactly how it happened!”

Because they are so accustomed to grasping various information and understanding the target, they are still afraid of the unknown despite the continuous efforts of the group. Even so, the special operations department agent was trying hard enough just by opening his mouth to explain the situation.

“What the fuck is going on?”

From Noi’s perspective, who knew nothing, it was overwhelming to try to understand and accept the situation as calmly as possible…

Whether or not, the ray of light that burst forth again silently decorated the sunset sky.
