Chapter 152
——The arrow that pierced the hostage was shot by the mercenary who had been watching the battle.
The man was wearing light armor and a strange mask on his face, and his dress looked quite exotic.
In Aarons's opinion, it was very much like the image of a warrior and a knight mixed in his previous life.
"——You are my only target!"
After making a declaration in a loud medium voice, the mercenary finally slowly put down the longbow in his left hand, and walked towards Aarons and his group firmly.
"... He seems to be a serious person."
This person neither took advantage of the chaos in the battle just now to attack, nor used the bow to snipe him. And he not only rescued the hostage just now, but now walked in front of him uprightly-
It was completely different from those unscrupulous mercenaries just now.
"Woo waaa--"
The child who was forcibly abducted and taken hostage just now finally burst into tears in fear.
A sergeant ran up and took the frightened child back.
"Okay, don't cry... Take him back to the car. If there is any problem, drive the children away first."
Aarons personally comforted the rescued child and asked the sergeants to take the child back to the car first.
However, the mercenary standing proudly in front of everyone did not make any moves from beginning to end.
"Master, this man..."
"Wait, I think we can talk to him first."
Although Karin wanted to defeat the other party as soon as possible and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. But Aarons shook his head and took the initiative to walk in front of her.
"Although I don't intend to let you kill me like this, but... Can I ask a few questions?"
"—— I will not disclose the information of my employer."
"No, I just want to know one thing... Since you are a mercenary, why didn't you sneak attack us in the chaos just now?"
Even if Aarons took the initiative to walk outside the cover of Karin and Zhu Ying, the mercenary still did not put on a fighting posture.
Although the dress looks a bit strange, Aarons can clearly feel the other party's upright will.
——He should be disdainful of doing those despicable things.
"Although I am just a mercenary who works for money, I also have principles in dealing with people - I will only kill you here in an upright manner and will never implicate innocent people!"
"Principles... Even if you are reduced to killing others for money, you must stick to the bottom line."
The other party's words reminded Aarons of what happened when he first came to this world - at that time, he also suffered a lot of losses because he insisted on his moral bottom line.
"Then can you tell me, since you have such principles, why do you want to kill me, who is also innocent, for money?"
"I heard that Aarons Moti is a treacherous, cruel and evil person, so I accepted such a commission... Maybe I did have some misunderstandings, but since I have accepted this commission, I must do my best to complete it."
"It seems that you are not the kind of person who is rigid-minded, so I will also make it clear - you have wasted the best opportunity to complete the task."
At this point, Aarons waved his hand. Karin and Zhu Ying, who received the instructions, stepped forward together and blocked him.
"Since you didn't sneak attack me just now, you will have to deal with my two servants alone now. In such an unfavorable situation, do you still want to fight us?"
"If I am really inferior to you, I will never complain about failure! There is no point in talking more - I want to fight!"
At this point, the mercenary finally took a fighting stance.
He pulled out the long sword hanging on his right waist with his left hand, and took out a narrow and long sword from his back with his right hand.
After the center of gravity of his body sank slightly, his posture and momentum became solid and heavy.
——The posture seemed almost flawless.
"In that case... Karin, you are okay alone, right?"
"... Young Master?"
"Since he intends to fight openly, this is not an assassination! So I won't do anything despicable... If you can defeat my two servants in a one-on-one battle, then you can take my life!"
This is not arrogance - if the opponent really has the strength to defeat Karin and Zhu Ying head-on, then even if he is not so noble, he will die.
And Aarons couldn't be sure whether the opponent would sneak attack him in the battle, so it was necessary to keep someone around to guard.
"Since the young master said so, let me go first... Mr. Mercenary on the opposite side, may I ask your name!"
"Sir... I don'tHe is just a mercenary, his name is not worth mentioning! "
Although an assassination somehow turned into a serious duel, Aarons did not hate this feeling - compared to those hypocritical nobles, this mercenary was more upright.
"Okay, let me see if you have the strength to maintain integrity... Karin, do it!"
When Aarons announced the start of the battle with his own instructions, Karin, who had been ready for a long time, rushed towards her opponent in one step.
As she approached her opponent, dark red crystal arm armor condensed on her arm. The weapon composed entirely of psychic energy can destroy all defenses of fighting spirit and magic.
- She is not good at overly delicate battles, so she planned to fight quickly with all her strength from the beginning.
"- Hey! "
Karin threw a straight punch without any technique, and the gushing hot spiritual energy crystals drew a dark red trajectory at the same time.
However, the mercenary did not release the fighting spirit flame for protection, but quickly raised the long sword in his left hand and used the blade to meet the heavy punch that broke through the air.
Then, Aarons saw an unexpected scene.
"What..."
The simple long sword suddenly slid under Karin's arm at the moment of contact with the crystal arm armor.
And at this moment, a force that was not A strong wind pressure suddenly burst out from the blade, cleverly unloading Karin's power to the side.
At the moment when Karin's movement was unbalanced, the long sword in the mercenary's right hand also slashed at her body from top to bottom.
Ding——
Karin subconsciously raised her left arm to forcefully block the slash, but a sharp chill suddenly came from the blade, making her feel a distinct dull pain.
The body that had reached the taboo level was actually cut by this simple and weird sword with an obvious wound!
"... How could it be?!"
Not only did she fail to hit the opponent, but she was also injured by the opponent's attack?
After forcibly bursting out power and retreating to distance herself, Karin immediately looked at the wound on her left arm - the cut with frost attached was completely frozen at this time, making her arm feel a little numb.
This is not fighting spirit!
"There is such a thing... Karin, be careful! He is not a fighting spirit warrior... He is a magician!"
