My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Happy Wednesday!

Heres the chapter, enjoy.

ED: Ignite

I came to warn Amelia-sama. I received information that the demon king had begun to move and is aiming for Amelia-samasResurrectionskill.

I frowned.

I was confused about various things, and wanted to write them down on a piece of paper to sort through them.

Of course, it was impossible to do so on top of Yoru who was moving at such high speeds, and I didnt have any paper to write on in the first place.

Master-dono, this is the room of the tenth floors boss.

This was what Yoru said as he was listening on in silence .

I turned around, and in front of Yoru, an enormous door could be seen.

Even though weve only been in the dungeon for a short time.

Who do you think I am. What are we going to do, Master-dono.

I turned my entire body that had been facing Ria around.

I put my hand in front of me, and closed my eyes.

Charge in.

Understood!!

Without even a single doubt toward me words, Yoru charged at the door.

Behind me, Ria screamed and clung onto my back.

Shadow Magicremote activation.

The moment the door had been destroyed, I opened my eyes.

The interior of the dungeon which was, even under normal circumstances, dimmer than the surface, was bathed in complete darkness.

However, that darkness had, in the next second, dissipated.

The corners of my lips curled at the expected development.

Hiii!!

It seems that before Yoru could change directions and head towards the door that led to the next level, Ria saw it.

The disconnected body of the boss that was cruelly scattered about in the middle of the room.

So far, I had only used my shadow and the other shadows that had accumulated within my shadow to activate my Shadow Magic. However, I knew that because I had remotely controlled my magic in the Continent dungeon and used my Shadow Magic to its limit, this time I could use shadows other than my own.

Unfortunately, It was limited to only the shadows within my field of view.

is it scary.

I raised my voice towards the person behind me who didnt make a single noise.

Yoru quickly found the stairs that led to the twelfth floor.

Just like in the Continent dungeon, the traps activated, but in the next moment, Yoru was no longer there.

I would be lying if I said that it wasnt scary. However, you let me come along with you, I wont complain.

Although she said that, the hand that was holding onto my clothes was trembling.

She certainly thought that it was scary in her mind.

However, there was no mistake that instinctually, she wanted to run away.

This was how living things, people were.

Fundamentally, they couldnt go against the feeling of fear.

You, just who are you?

I gave it some thought and then started to speak.

I am just an assassin who got dragged into this, Amelias lover, and one of the people who you hate the most.

ehh!?

Rias voice sounded very surprised by my remark.

I paid her no mind and retreated into my own thoughts.

I did not think that the demon king would be aiming for Amelia.

I was certain that he was aiming for me, but keeping in touch with Yoru and inviting me was probably because of Amelia.

In that case, why did he want AmeliasResurrection.

Was it to extend his life because he was about to die?

As for me, it was hard for me to understand why he would go that far and why he wanted to live in this world.

were you summoned here to this world?

Aah, thats right. Im one of the people who were summoned here using the magic power of your family. Are you going to kill me?

Since I heard the story, I had no reason to be killed by Ria.

However, Rias circumstances were something that I sympathized with.

I could let her hit me if she pleased, but I wont allow myself to die just yet.

However, I despised Ria.

No, you yourself are not guilty. I understand that the hero summoning was something that was truly unreasonable. However, I will not forgive the people of Retice who summoned the heroes.

Thats right, when asked point blank, she would dodge the question.

Under us, Yoru trembled.

She got you, Master-dono.

Youre noisy.

I turned my body around once again and faced Ria.

This time, she wasnt panicked and was clutching onto Yorus fur.

Then, lets change the question. Do you want to kill the heroes?

When I first met Ria, she was definitely directing her bloodlust towards us who were summoned here.

If she said that she wouldnt kill me who was among the crowd of people, then it would be the heroes.

Just as I expected, Ria nodded.

I know that the heroes had no choice in the matter, but.

Ria hung her head.

It wasnt something that it wasnt something that she could let go of so easily.

Maa, its not going to hurt me, so its ok.

If it negatively affected the heroes, that was fine too.

The heroes matters and the like had nothing to do with me.

Lets go back to what we were talking about. You came to warn Amelia. You met us after following Amelias smell, and now, you are accompanying us.

Yes, its as youve said. is it alright if I asked you a question?

Ria nervously asked me who was pondering it over.

I made a sound of acknowledgement without raising my head.

Who kidnapped Amelia-sama?

When I was about to answer her, I suddenly realized something and raised my head.

I see! Yoru, hurry!!

Yoru didnt give any response, but he ran faster.

The one who kidnapped Amelia was a demon named Aulum Trace.

Rias eyes widened.

I bit my lip.

Ever since meeting Ria, I have come to understand various things, including the sacrifices required to bring myself and the other heroes to this world.

Aulum Trace was a demon.

In that case, theres a high possibility that the one who ordered him to kidnap Amelia was the demon king.

Although, it seems that Aulum Trace was ranked third among the demons, so it wouldnt be strange even if he ordered the first and the second to do it.

We still didnt know what the demon kings objective was, but I knew that it wasnt anything good.

No matter what, I will definitely get Amelia back before we leave this dungeon.
