Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 121.1

Conspiracy of the Noble Faction (7)

[Gaaaah!!!]

The black beast’s roar echoed through the place, and Nero attacked the knights scattered around him.

“What the heck is this monster?

“Calm down, hold your shields!”

The knights immediately responded and readied their weapons and shields. However, even if they were wearing full-body metal armor, they would not be able to withstand Nero’s attack with light armor, and would be sent flying away.

Nero, because of its huge size, decided that the knights on the outer perimeter, not in the narrow space, were the enemies, and after confirming the safety of Crown Prince Ervan from behind, I stabbed the two assassins to death with the dagger and knife in both hands as I jumped from Nero’s back.

“What the heck is happening?”

I crushed the nose of a man who screamed as his comrades were killed with an elbow strike and then snapped his neck, after wrapping my arms around it. Mikhail, who said he was a member of the Crown Prince’s entourage, shouted at us as we suddenly appeared and began killing the enemy.

“What are you doing?”

“I was sent as back up.”

I told him, flipping up my skirt and throwing the knife I pulled out of the slit at the assassins who were closing in on us.

The knife pierced one of them in the throat, and two of them dodged. As expected of assassins aiming for the Crown Prince, they would not bring in anyone lower than Rank 3….

At that moment, I jumped out of the way, and I produced a pendulum [Blade Sickle Type] and slashed the throat of a man who approached me, and another man came forward and was also slashed on the throat.

While ducking to look up at the knife the other man was thrusting at me, I kicked the man in the jaw with my toe as if I was spinning over backwards, and at the same time slashed his rattled neck with the [Slashing Type] pendulum that I was throwing out to finish him off.

“Hiii…”

Spattering blood. Life is fading away like plucking flowers. The girl clinging to the Crown Prince let out a muffled scream at the sight of me killing my enemies so nonchalantly, and one of the assassins, noticing this, ran to take hostages.

“I won’t let you do it!”

“Rockwell!”

Another member of the Crown Prince’s entourage intervened, and Mikhail called the knight’s name.

He was a boy with a knightly physique, and he seemed to be well-trained, but he must have realized that it was impossible to stop a Rank 3 assassin with his bare hands.

“Move!”

The assassin raised his one-handed sword at Rockwell, who was still trying to stand in his way.

At that moment, I lunged forward, clawing at the ground as I kicked, and smashing the assassin to the ground, jumping once more and crushing his neck with my knee as I slammed to the ground with momentum.

There was a sound like the shattering of a tree branch wrapped in a wet rag, and as the people on the Crown Prince’s side involuntarily turned away, I picked up the one-handed sword used by the assassin I killed, and tossed it to the still stunned Rockwell.

“You are Her Royal Highness the Princess…”

“I received a request for assistance from her. If you have enemies, don’t be dumbfounded. If you are still willing to fight, take up arms. You have something to protect, don’t you?”

“Ah…yes, that’s right.”

Nero was taking care of the Second Order’s platoon, so I could leave that to him.

I pulled out my black knife to dispose of the assassins, and at that moment I felt a strong killing intent, and I threw the knife in that direction while leaping to escape.

Ging! 

My knife was repelled by the “Owner” of the killing intent.

Immediately, a machete-like blade was fired at me by that “Person,” but I knew that I could not repel it, so I jumped to the side to avoid the attack, and that “Person” followed up to chase after me.

Guuuuuooooooohhh! 

A kick was released, the sound of wind pressure, and as I caught it with my heel and kicked it away, that “Person” raised his machete blade high toward me in the air.

“–[Vorpal Blade]–“

“Kuh!”

At that moment, I was hit by several slashes that were released.

I kicked up into empty air, changing my stance, twisting to avoid the blades, and as I fell to the ground and fell to my knees, the “Person” with the killing intent exchanged glances with me.

“I didn’t think you could avoid that Combat Skill.”

“…”

I didn’t manage to avoid it all, either. Blood flowed from my right cheek where it was grazed, and I held my side where it was slashed open with one hand.

[Vorpal Blade]… this man used a Level 5 Combat Skill that the same as that other person–
