Ch 71: HAURIA VS EMPIRE - PART 1

"What!? What happened!?"

"Iya~a!? What’s with this!?"

The aristocrats of the Empire who were suddenly deprived of one of their senses shouted out angrily in a shaky voice which contained confusion and unrest.

"Don’t panic! Use magic to create light-ga~a!?"

"What’s wron-gya~!?"

"What happen-gu~!?"

A relatively calm person tried to create a sphere of light while giving out instructions to others to secure their vision. However, the sound of a scream and something falling down happened right afterward. At the same time, the confused aristocrats all begin screaming one after another.

The place soon sank into confusion once again. Especially, the Mademoiselles who completely fell into panic and began running around blindly, the sounds of collisions and people falling resounded out rapidly from various places.

"Calm down! Can you bastards still call yourselves soldiers of the Empire!"

Gaharudo’s voice filled with ambition resounded throughout the hall in the darkness. With the loud scolding voice, the aristocrats who started falling into panic and screaming due to the darkness stopped.

However……

Hyu! Hyu! Hyu!

"~!? Chi! Sneaking around so annoyingly!"

Countless arrows came flying toward Gaharudo from the darkness.

With short notice, a surprise attack of arrows that held amazing speed and power attacked Gaharudo from all directions. Moreover, it was pulled off with exquisite timing, being bombarded with incredibly accurate arrows was a bad position to be in, with so much flying towards him Gaharudo had no choice but to be pushed into a one-sided defensive battle. He couldn’t afford to give out instructions to recover the situation anymore.

Still in the pitch black darkness, while fending the blows with the ceremonial sword, he could only grasp where the arrows were coming from due to the noise of them cutting through the air. The noise surrounding Gaharudo began raising roars. Gin! Gin! Gin! The sound of metal colliding resounded out.

The sounds of people's screams resounded one after the other while collapsing, due to Gaharudo’s scolding, people who regained their calm created fireballs to act as a light.

They called out to the guards loudly while looking around their surroundings with fierce expressions.

Something like a black shadow zinged by on the edge of their sights! It traveled quickly as if slicing through the wind.

" Who are y-ggebu!?"

Immediately the aristocratic man tried to shoot a fireball toward the shadow.

However, the shadow that dashed out from the darkness dressed in black immediately pulled out a small black sword that completely blended in with the darkness, as if it was a joke, a head was mown down instantly.

*Pon* the head flew through the air and rolled around on the ground with vivid sounds. The head had a blank face, it seems he didn’t notice that he was no longer connected with his body.

Before anyone noticed, all fireballs which were illuminating the surroundings had disappeared and the only color left was the darkness.

The aristocrats and Mademoiselles gathered towards the people who created fireballs like moths being provoked by the light, they managed to catch a glimpse of the shadow’s Usamimis immediately before the fireball was extinguished, then the spectacle of the persons head flying through the air was witnessed immediately afterward. Then once again, their waists gave out against the assailant who disappeared under the cover of the darkness.
