Hope You'll Stay with Me Until the End

"————!"

There's absolutely no need for explanation.

In that instant, even Subaru Natsuki could clearly sense the murderous aura permeating the air.

The murderous aura, like blood gradually gushing out, explosively filled the entire Thieves' Den, at a concentration that was enough to suffocate people.

This alone is enough to understand what kind of person this assassin known as "Gut Slicer" really is.

They kill without blinking an eye.

It was extremely bloody.

Even amidst a sea of blood, she could still display a bewitching smile, a murderer laughing gleefully.

This is Elsa Gransilter.

A highly renowned Assassin.

Sensing the bloodlust and cruelty within the alluring woman before him, Subaru Natsuki felt a wave of nausea surge up his throat.

If he hadn't already experienced it once, and even been killed once, Subaru Natsuki would never have been able to endure such terrifying killing intent.

Even Felt and Old Man Rom's faces turned ashen, clearly realizing just how dangerous this client was and what kind of dangerous person they had been associating with.

"Parker..." Emilia spoke to Parker with a serious expression, seemingly intending to step forward.

"Wait a minute." Parker understood Emilia's meaning, but refused Emilia offer, saying, "They're after you. If it's not necessary, it's best not to get involved."

Upon hearing this, Emilia immediately wanted to refute it.

It's not that Parker's words were wrong, but rather that Emilia was able to stand out precisely because they were accurate.

After all, since the other party was targeting her, it wouldn't make sense for Emilia to hide behind someone else and have unrelated people protect her.

However, before Emilia could retort, another person spoke up.

"Please don't worry, Emilia."

Reinhard had somehow untied the ropes binding him. He stood up, removing the ropes that seemed to have been forcibly torn from his body, and looked directly at the battlefield before him, speaking to Emilia.

"That gentleman can handle that assassin without any problem."

Emilia was somewhat surprised by those words, which were even more confident than Emilia herself.

Reinhard simply responded with a smile, placed his hand on the Knight Sword at his waist, and said this.

"That's someone who can draw the Astrea Family's Dragon Sword; he's no less than the ' Gut Slicer.'"

At least, Elsa was unable to draw the Dragon Sword.

However, Fang Li caused the Dragon Sword to react.

Given this, it's quite obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.

Of course, I had already anticipated this outcome.

"Although I never thought I could achieve my goal with just one or two sentences, I don't dislike this development either."

Fang Li met Elsa's murderous aura head-on, and with a calm and composed attitude, suddenly smiled.

"However, for me, it would be rather boring to have an opponent like you, an assassin."

With that, Fang Li took a step forward.

In that instant, Fang Li's figure vanished.

He appeared in front of Elsa as if in a flash.

"————!"

Elsa's pupils contracted sharply.

Only then did a voice slowly reach Elsa's ears.

"After all, I've fought countless times with the two best of my kind of Killer Demon."

A flash of light appeared suddenly in the space.

Like a flash of light.

Like thunder and lightning.

The cold arc of light appeared without any warning, instantly cutting through the air like a crescent moon, and swept towards Elsa.

"Clang—!"

The loud sounds of impact reverberated throughout the room.

Accompanying it were sparks that exploded suddenly, like fireworks.

Faced with the rapid slash, Elsa timely raised her ferocious weapon, resembling the fangs of a beast, and blocked it.

Immediately afterwards, an absolutely terrifying force ripped out from her hand, sending Elsa's tall and voluptuous body flying like a ball. Her feet slid forcefully across the ground, creating two deep grooves and sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Elsa only realized it when they stopped.

My hand holding the knife had gone numb.

"Oh...!"

Seeing Elsa forced back by a single strike, both Felt and Old Man Rom exclaimed in surprise.

"That's amazing..."

Emilia and Parker were surprised.

"Really..."

Reinhard looked completely unsurprised.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Subaru Natsuki chuckled dryly.

"They're all people who were summoned to Other World, but the differences between them are so huge, damn it."

Unfortunately, Elsa, the person directly involved, was even more surprised than others.

"Ah..." Elsa shook her numb arm, her gaze towards Fang Li gradually becoming intoxicated, and she murmured in a daze, "I didn't see wrong, I didn't see wrong, you are truly a worthy target to hunt down."

"Thank you for the compliment." Fang Li met Elsa's infatuated gaze, a crescent-shaped dagger appearing in his hand at some point, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Although we are different in nature, I don't dislike fighting with others."

So, I hope you can stay with me until the end.

These words caused Elsa's rapt gaze to curve into a crescent shape.

However, the murderous aura surrounding him expanded explosively.

"Smack—!"

In the next instant, Elsa shattered the floorboards, her figure transforming into a black shadow as she burst forth.

At first glance, it looks just like a ferocious beast pouncing on its prey, both swift and brutal.

In his hands, the pair of ferocious, fang-like weapons gleamed with a cold light. Under his master's wielding, they transformed into two sharp blades of light, striking forward mercilessly like thunderbolts.

"Clang—!"

With a crisp clash, the Moon Blade swiftly rose, deflecting the two incoming lightning bolts.

However, Elsa simply used this force to glide away lightly, as if surfing in the air currents. Then she lowered her body, got on all fours, and like a spider, darted to Fang Li's side, suddenly slashing at Fang Li's abdomen.

"Clang—!"

Amidst the clanging of steel against steel, a crescent-shaped dagger appeared out of thin air, blocking the incoming slash and causing sparks to burst forth again, illuminating Fang Li's profile.

The two raids failed completely, but this only made Elsa's smile grow wider and wider.

Thus, Elsa's figure completely transformed into a ghostly shadow, floating around Fang Li as if weightless, constantly unleashing sharp blade slashes as she wandered.

Countless flashes of light suddenly appeared in the air, exceptionally bright.
