"… Two hearts connected… Two hearts connected…" Lena held her chin while thinking about the meaning of the words in the door . Claire was beside her, but she could not also think of anything .
Giving a glance to the two girls, Louise carefully approached me without letting the girls realize that something was wrong . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
When the distance between us was almost zero, she opened her lips .
"… Assassins?" She asked with a whisper .
I smiled softly . "How did you realize?"
"… The monsters here don't emit killing intent . "
I shot Louise a brief look of admiration and chuckled . "Smart . "
Louise rolled her eyes, but she quickly returned to an expression of seriousness . "How many? I can detect only two . "
"Five, one in the tenth layer, two in the ninth layer and the last two in the eight-layer . "
Louise's expression fell . She tightened her hands into fists and heaved a sigh to control her emotions .
"Damn, we are fucked . "
I looked at her with mild amusement . "Scared?"
Louise rolled her eyes again, but when she saw my relaxed expression, she calmed down . "… Do you have a plan?"
"Of course . Do you want to hear it?"
"Tell me . "
"if they bleed, we can kill them . "
"…"
I chuckled seeing Louise's exasperated look and unsheathed my sword . "Just focus on protecting the girls . I'll take care of the rest . "
Louise put on an are-you-crazy expression and grabbed my hand worriedly . I smiled and touched her cheek . "Don't worry, your man will take care of them . "
"… who is my man?" Louise blushed, but for some reason, she felt much more relaxed now .
At that moment, Claire turned around and looked at us suspiciously .
"What are you two whispering about?"
I grinned and pointed to the darkness . "We can feel some enemies . I'm going to take care of them . "
"Do you need help?" Lena asked, but I shook my head with a smile . "No need, I'm enough alone . Just focus on opening the door . "
Knowing the strength of the monsters we have faced until now, the two younger sisters did not find anything wrong with my proposal and nodded . I then looked at Louise and gestured her to protect the girls .
"… Be careful . " Louise whispered .
"If I die today, remember to bring flowers to my tomb every year . " I joked . "But if I survive, instead of flowers, I want kisses . "
"… Fool . " A smile appeared on Louise's face . The next second, she looked at the ground with an embarrassed expression . " . . . I'll think about it . "
Sweet .
Looking at the charming expression on Louise's face, I took a step forward while holding my sword . "Off I go!" I said and waved towards the girls .
"… How cool . " Claire whispered from behind .
"Yeah . But he is too much into the hero role . The enemies are not even real . . . " Lena shook her head .
"Mm Mm . " Nodded Claire .
… Now I'm embarrassed .
Louise looked at the girls helplessly before watching my back with a worried expression . She unconsciously tightened her fist and prayed the goddess to protect me .
I looked towards the darkness and smiled . Eldest brother sure is decisive . Although Alice was the one that provoked him, she just gave him the last push . The fact that he did not hesitate to send assassins against me means that he had been thinking about it for a long time .
But I had to admit that Alice's manipulation is impressive . Just a few days ago I created the impression that I have a super powerful master that is protecting me from the shadows, but under Alice's influence, eldest brother seemed to forget about it .
At least, these assassins look stronger than last time's ones .
Of course, they are just slightly bigger ants .
The assassins were a bit surprised when they saw me walk forward . They instantly realized that I had discovered them .
However, they did not panic . As assassins, they were conscious of the possibility of being discovered . They quickly calmed down and decided to proceed with the plan .
The leader of the assassins, a tenth-layer man, used his gaze to signal something to the two weakest assassins . He probably thought that I detected only the weakest pair .
The two eighth-layer assassins nodded and crawled silently towards me .
I smirked and took a step forward . Before the assassins could react, my figure disappeared and appeared in front of one of them .
The assassin panicked . Instantly, he jumped aside and slashed towards my neck . At the same time, the second assassin moved .
But instead of attacking me, he rushed towards the girls .
I frowned . My sword moved upwards and blocked the assassin's dagger . Then, I took a deep breath .
Even for me, defeating this group of enemies using fourth-layer strength is very hard .
Thus, I released the mana hidden inside my body .
In one second, my strength surged powerfully .
Under the assassins and Louise's stunned gazes, my fourth-layer mana increased .
First, it climbed to the fifth layer, then to the sixth and the seventh . When it reached the eighth layer, it finally stopped .
"Hmmm, it will be enough . " I curved my lips up .
A terrifying chill assaulted the assassin's neck . Feeling the powerful mana coursing through my body, the assassin instinctively jumped back .
However, distance is not an impediment to my sword .
With a thrust, my sword advanced straight towards the assassin's neck . The sword thrust seemed slow, but in truth, it was incredibly fast .
Neither the assassin's evasive measures nor his fellow assassins attempts to save him were able to change his fate .
Less than one second from the start of the battle, the first assassin was dead .
I pulled back my sword from the assassin's neck and pointed it down . Crimson red blood flowed on the metallic blade and fell to the ground .
Then, I looked at the four remaining assassins and chuckled .
"You're gonna need a few coffins . "
