My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains[part 1 Complete ]

Chapter 78: Ring (1)

༺ Ring (1) ༻

Bail of the Four Leaves was an assassin proudly affiliated with Vagabond.

He was well-known for his high speed swordsmanship, a product from his four-swords style. In addition to the double blades he wielded, he had another two that he controlled through telekinesis.

It was said that he could turn his opponents to minced meat with ease by using his dazzling and swift attacks, which possessed four times more trajectories than your average swordsmen.

"..."

And now, those very swords had all been shattered.

Bail looked at his beloved swords with a blank look.

As he traversed countless battlefields, he had become worthy of being called a veteran in his own right and they had been the reliable companions that had been by his side the entire time. They were excellent blades that would receive respect anywhere he went.

But, someone had obliterated those very swords with only their 'bare hands', as if they were nothing but toys.

"Mm."

Eleanor nodded as she looked down at her own hands, clenching and unclenching them nonchalantly.

After wearing a pair of gauntlets, she somehow 'caught and destroyed' the sword strike that Bail put all his power and magic into.

"..."

'How could this even happen?'

Although he had heard the rumors that Lady Tristan was someone with extraordinary skills for her age, this was not something that could be explained by just that much.

After all, what she had done would only be possible if they had at the very least two or three level differences.

"...Ridiculous."

He spoke such words with a groan.

"I've often heard stories that even at a young age, you demonstrated martial prowess that were almost miraculous, but it seems the title of a genius isn't enough to describe someone like you."

The remains of his comrades, who had been mobilized for this 'surprise attack', were scattered around.

Their bodies were in grotesque states; some had their corpses exploded in certain areas, some had their limbs ripped off.

All of this was caused by a woman who hadn't even drawn her sword.

"So, how did you find out about this place, Lady?"

They had surely maintained strict control over information about themselves, so how did she manage to find them all the way here and carry out such acts?

"I just happened to find some people whose target overlapped with mine."

Eleanor responded to Bail's question while wiping the blood off her cheek.

"An overlapping target?"

"Recently, I felt like Dowd has been avoiding me. So, I decided to follow him around."

"..."

"As I did, I found quite a few people doing the same thing as me."

'If he was avoiding her, wouldn't there be a reason for it?'

Usually, in such a case, one would at least try to understand the other's sentiments and give them space. How in the world did she unhesitatingly come up with the option to follow him?

As an incredulous Bail fell into silence, Eleanor shrugged her shoulders before continuing.

"So I investigated the matter a little."
