The assassins cut in half by the sword qi instantly turned into paper dolls.
It was a First-Tier Assassin skill, Paper Doll Substitution!
“Damn it, what a strong little girl.”
“Fortunately, the captain had us launch a feint in the first wave, otherwise a few brothers would probably have died.”
Isabella also seized the opportunity to quickly run toward Levi.
“Your Highness, come to me quickly!”
“I won’t give you the chance.”
The assassins instantly threw daggers to block Isabella’s advance.
At the same time, someone rushed toward Levi again with a blade.
“We’ll take the Sixth Prince’s life!”
Isabella didn’t care about the dagger attack at all, because even a second of hesitation could cause Levi to lose his life on the spot.
However, what no one present expected was that the Sixth Prince, who should have chosen to escape, suddenly lifted the quilt.
From under the quilt rushed out a fully armored knight holding a sword and shield!
The assassin’s small knife stabbed into the iron cuirass, making a crisp sound.
“What the fuck!?”
A hint of bewilderment appeared in the assassin’s eyes.
No, who the fuck sleeps in full armor while sleeping in bed?
This was his last emotion in this world.
The next second, the iron sword in Levi’s hand slashed onto his body without hesitation.
“Ah!”
The iron sword that cuts through iron like mud sent the First-Tier Assassin in front of him to meet their Assassin God in one second.
“Your Highness?!”
Isabella finally arrived by Levi’s side at this moment.
“Are you unhurt?!”
Levi smiled and pointed at the motionless assassin beside him:
“I’m fine, but this assassin brother seems to have already died.”
Isabella looked with astonishment at Levi, who was wearing a full set of iron armor and holding a sword and shield.
What was going on?
Wasn’t His Highness wearing pajamas when he went to sleep?
When did he put on his weapons and equipment?
Isabella had been in the room the entire time and maintained a high level of concentration to observe any slight disturbance around her.
Yet even so, Isabella hadn’t noticed Levi doing anything at all.
But now was not the time to think about this.
Isabella stood in front of Levi without hesitation, assumed a battle stance, and completely protected Levi behind her.
“What’s going on? Didn’t they say the Sixth Prince is good for nothing and can’t do anything?”
Looking at the remaining six assassins who took two steps back, Levi found it somewhat amusing.
“You have so many people fighting the two of us, yet you’re still scared?”
The assassins looked at each other and then reached a consensus.
It was indeed impossible for one person to confront a knight head-on.
This Sixth Prince must have just been a blind cat running into a dead mouse, managing to kill someone in counterattack.
“All together!”
“Alright!”
Soon, they paid the price for their misjudgment.
Five assassins attacking simultaneously from different directions did temporarily stall Isabella’s steps.
However, the assassin facing Levi was once again killed instantly by Levi in a single encounter.
The dagger thrust by the assassin toward Levi was easily blocked by his raised shield.
Then, an unpretentious slash was directed at the assassin.
The assassin hurriedly withdrew the dagger, trying to block Levi’s attack.
However, unexpectedly, Levi’s strength was terrifyingly great.
The assassin only felt the bones in his hand fracture in an instant.
Swoosh——!
The iron sword pierced into the assassin’s body without any suspense.
Another companion was slain by Levi, which made the assassins’ eyes suddenly become clear.
They suddenly realized that Levi was not the powerless weakling rumored outside at all.
Instead, he was a professional of at least the Second-Tier!
Otherwise, how could he instantly kill a First-Tier Assassin!
Isabella was likewise extremely surprised.
Although the assassins before her were not tricky, she had been timid and constrained because she had to protect Levi.
But looking at it now, there was no need to worry about His Highness’s safety at all.
Isabella, fighting five assassins, was no longer restricted.
First-Tier Sword Skill: Heroic Strike!
A clean and neat strike.
Killed two assassins.
The remaining three saw that the situation was bad and wanted to escape.
Captain!
Why aren’t you making a move yet!
They didn’t understand why the captain was still watching from the shadows.
Could it be…
could it be that the captain had betrayed them!?
Their questions would never be answered.
Because they had already been caught up to by Isabella in a single stride,
Second-Tier Sword Skill: Triple Slash!
Three unhesitating slashes, and all three assassins bled on the spot.
Seeing Isabella’s combat efficiency, Levi couldn’t help but feel some emotion.
He really needed to learn sword skills and close-combat techniques properly from Isabella.
Otherwise, in case Isabella wasn’t by his side one day, it would be difficult for him alone.
“Well done, Isabella…”
After getting rid of the assassins, Levi wanted to praise Isabella’s performance.
Suddenly, a figure wearing black night-travel clothes suddenly blocked the space between him and Isabella.
There’s another assassin?!
And he hadn’t even perceived the other party’s existence at all?
Isabella immediately warned Levi to retreat:
“Your Highness, be careful! This guy is a Second-Tier Assassin!”
The Assassin Captain made a delighted sound:
“Tsk tsk tsk, the trash who wanted to steal the credit are finally all dead.”
He slowly raised the dagger in his hand, which could be seen from its appearance not to be an ordinary item.
Levi only felt a chill travel from the back of his neck to the crown of his head.
“Next, let me take your head.”
“If you want to touch His Highness, get past me first!”
Triple Slash!
Isabella instantly executed her sword skill, striking first.
However, the lightning-fast Triple Slash did not land on the Assassin Captain.
A transparent blue figure suddenly appeared.
The slash capable of splitting stubborn rock landed on it, but only caused water droplets to splash.
Isabella recognized its identity at a glance.
“Third-Tier Monster, Water Elemental!?”
That’s right, the one that blocked Isabella’s attack was precisely the water elemental creature summoned by the Assassin Captain using a spell scroll.
Third-Tier Spell Scroll: Summon Water Elemental!
It can summon a water elemental creature that obeys your commands.
When the summoner dies, the water elemental creature dies.
The aggressiveness of the water elemental is considered weak among Third-Tier monsters, but its vitality is vigorous and its form is variable.
It is undoubtedly one of the most disgusting monsters.
Because of its powerful entanglement ability, it is often the favorite elemental servant summoned by mages whose spell-casting startup is longer than their lives.
“Hold this Female Knight down.”
“Roar!”
The water elemental instantly surged, charging fiercely straight toward Isabella.
“Damn it!” Isabella swung the sword in her hand, trying to block the water elemental’s attack.
However, the special point of elemental creatures is that they can reduce most physical damage.
“Your Highness!”
Isabella’s eyes were filled with worry for Levi’s life safety.
Yet she, a Second-Order Knight, was entangled by the Third-Tier monster Water Elemental and had no way to break away!
Isabella, who excelled in physical attacks, had no good way of dealing with the monster in front of her at the moment.
The attendants inside the Lords Mansion had also rushed over to support after hearing the commotion in Levi’s room.
Butler Trist panted as he followed behind the attendants, shouting while running:
“Quickly save His Highness! His Highness’s life is your life!”
He wasn’t forcing the attendants to risk their lives for Levi.
