“What… kind of operation is this?!”
The Assassin Captain couldn’t believe his eyes.
What the hell did he just see?
How could a person suddenly rise from the ground and stand on a stone pillar that was a full three to four meters high?!
Is he an Earth-type mage?!
Where is your spell chanting?
The Assassin Captain ran quickly, stepping on the side of the stone pillar as if it were flat ground like a parkour master, rushing toward the top.
This was just what Levi wanted.
You can move at high speed on the ground, and I can’t hit you.
Now that I’ve restricted your range of movement, let’s see how you dodge!
Levi directly slashed horizontally with his sword toward the assassin.
The Assassin Captain hurriedly parried with his dagger.
To his surprise, Levi’s strength was shockingly huge.
This sword strike was as heavy as a mountain, directly knocking the Assassin Captain down from the air.
The immense force coming from his arms made him ache all over.
Such great strength?
Levi provocatively beckoned to the astonished assassin standing on the ground.
“With just this level of skill, you come to assassinate this king?”
“Damn!”
Cursing, the Assassin Captain pulled out his few remaining ranged attack methods—throwing knives.
He frantically threw them at Levi, who was standing on the stone pillar.
His skilled technique was worthy of a ranged weapon throwing master.
Every blade aimed at a vital spot, and every blade was lethal.
The Assassin Captain was confident that his throwing knives could pierce through the wooden shield in Levi’s hand.
To his unexpected surprise, all the thrown knives were easily blocked by the wooden shield.
Kid, do you understand the value of one hundred percent projectile immunity?
While holding up his shield to defend against the throwing knives hurled at him, Levi ate potatoes to restore his hunger.
His hunger had dropped a bit when he was regenerating health earlier, so he had to replenish it quickly.
He hadn’t thought of using this action to taunt the other party.
But in the eyes of the Assassin Captain, this was simply an insult to his personality and his profession.
As an assassin, the target of his assassination was eating right in front of him, calm and composed…
Baked potato?!
“You guy!”
After swallowing the last bite of the potato into his stomach, Levi let out an exclamation of praise.
“Mhm~ Delicious.”
[Hunger +0.5]
[Current Hunger 20/20]
“Damn it! I’m going to cut off your head! Then kick it into the river!”
The Assassin Captain was driven mad with anger.
Yet he didn’t have any effective way to deal with Levi.
His attack range limited his performance.
The throwing knives were all blocked by the shield in Levi’s hand.
Clearly, as long as he could get close to Levi, he could finish off the opponent within a few knife strikes.
But right now, he had no way to harm Levi at all!
He stamped his feet angrily at the bottom of the stone pillar.
After toying with the Assassin Captain a few times, Levi lost interest.
Because he didn’t have any effective means to harm the other party either.
The two of them fell into an exceptionally awkward situation.
The Assassin Captain could kill Levi, but his attack range was not enough.
As long as Levi’s attack could hit the Assassin Captain, he could kill him, but the attack couldn’t hit.
One was up and the other was down, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, which was just so subtle.
Levi understood that now he could only wait for Isabella to come save him.
Assassins emphasize a one-hit kill; when it came to frontal combat, they would definitely be crushed and beaten by Isabella, a Knight class professional.
But the problem came.
The Tier-3 monster Water Element was simply a god of war.
But she was countered by the mechanism, and physical damage simply had no way of dealing with the Water Element.
Not to mention the other First-Tier attendants.
It would already be considered doing their best if they weren’t counter-killed by the Water Element.
What should be done about this?
Levi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Wait!
Water Element…
is a liquid, right?
And according to MC Features, as long as it’s a liquid, it can be scooped up with an iron bucket.
Eh~
Levi nodded thoughtfully, feeling that he could try this MC Features.
He snapped open his inventory.
Then, with a snap, he placed a crafting table beside him again.
He took out three iron ingots that had been smelted earlier.
He arranged the crafting recipe for the iron bucket on the crafting table.
Picking up the newly crafted iron bucket, Levi seized the right moment and fiercely threw it at the Water Element, which had happened to turn into a giant wave form.
The Water Element transformed into a giant wave naturally couldn’t be hit by an empty bucket.
But the direction of the water current successfully brought the empty bucket to Isabella’s feet.
Isabella was about to kick away this inexplicably floating iron bucket to prevent other attendants from tripping over it.
Then she heard the command coming from Levi in the room.
“Isabella! Use the empty bucket I threw out to scoop up the Water Element!”
Eh?!
Isabella’s raised foot stopped abruptly.
The tip of her toe was only a dozen centimeters away from the empty bucket.
She almost kicked this iron bucket away.
Isabella didn’t understand Levi’s instruction at all.
But that didn’t prevent her from executing it immediately.
Because Levi had already displayed too many magical “spells” in front of her.
The casting and effect of every spell were strangely incomprehensible.
The Highness’s command must have its reasons!
Isabella bent down to pick up the bucket and fiercely rushed toward the Water Element.
The attendants behind her were somewhat dumbfounded.
Commander!
What on earth are you doing!
Acting Knights Order Commander Isabella was equally confused.
Scoop it up?
How on earth can you scoop up a Water Element!?
Damn it, what on earth does this sentence mean!
Isabella felt that her brain wasn’t enough to process this.
But she still bit the bullet and fiercely scooped the bucket at the Water Element.
Seeing someone rushing over, the Water Element immediately prepared to unleash its attack methods.
But unexpectedly, before it even had time to strike, after being hit by the iron bucket, the Water Element began to shrink.
The attendants watched in horror as the water that had originally spread across the corridor was now miraculously retreating.
Until all the water completely entered the bucket Isabella was holding.
The attendants exclaimed:
“Lord Isabella!? The Water Element was scooped up by you with a water bucket!?”
Isabella likewise couldn’t believe it.
She looked at the Water Element still churning constantly inside the bucket.
Its eyes were big and small at the moment, as if it felt baffled by what had suddenly happened.
Water Element: O.o
The Water Element that a group of people had just tried their utmost to defeat.
Now it was actually scooped up so easily by an iron bucket?
Is there such a thing as a magical water bucket?
“How is this possible! What kind of magic is this!”
The Assassin Captain felt that the contract with the Water Element had actually disappeared.
He turned back in disbelief, only to see Isabella holding the bucket in her left hand and a sword in her right hand as she rushed into the room.
“Mhm?!”
When Isabella saw the stone pillar rising from the ground in the room, she was also stunned for a moment.
Especially when she saw Levi standing on the stone pillar, her pupils directly underwent an earthquake.
This…
what kind of operation is this again?
Such a novel combat style.
The attendants who followed her charging into the room likewise showed the same expression.
Why is there a large stone pillar in the Lord’s bedroom?
Is this a special hobby of nobles?
“Damn it!”
Knowing that the general trend was lost and unwilling, the Assassin Captain rushed toward the window.
Time to slip away!
Let’s make a clean getaway!
“Stop this guy!”
Butler Trist immediately called out to the attendants to intercept him.
However, the speed of interception was ultimately a bit slow.
Isabella, who had been on guard early on, took a stride forward and instantly used a sword technique.
Second-Tier Sword Technique · Triple Slash!
Bad news, it only hit one segment.
Good news, it hit the assassin’s leg.
The Assassin Captain cried out in pain, but still struggled to rush forward.
Smashed the glass and directly fled into the back garden.
“Damn it, did he escape?!”
Isabella leaned against the window, just wanting to leap down and pursue.
But she immediately dismissed the thought.
Because she dared not be sure whether there were other assassins waiting for an opportunity.
In case another Second-Tier Assassin came after she pursued, no one in the entire Lords Mansion would be able to stop them.
“Go to the back garden to catch the assassin!” Trist immediately ordered the attendants to take action.
The attendants who received the order left the room and ran toward the back garden.
Seeing that the assassin had left, Levi didn’t intend to continue standing on the stone pillar to pay tribute to the Three Men under the Moon.
Levi gently leaped, jumping down from the three-to-four-meter-high stone pillar.
Afterwards, he did not forget to use a stone pickaxe to reclaim the Cobblestone that made up the stone pillar.
It wasn’t that he was being industrious and thrifty.
But rather because leaving this stone pillar in his bedroom would look very ugly.
“Your Highness, are you alright!”
Trist and Isabella came up wanting to show concern for Levi.
Levi waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
“Your Highness, this is your iron bucket.”
Taking the iron bucket handed over by Isabella, Levi saw the water inside.
“What a pity, it actually turned into water?”
Because it lost the magic power of the magic scroll, the Water Element turned back into ordinary water.
He had thought he could own a Water Element.
The assassin boss wasn’t caught, and the Water Element was gone too, sigh…
Just as Levi was feeling a bit disappointed, he heard a miserable scream coming from the back garden.
Accompanied by a loud crash of a heavy object hitting the ground.
And the furious cursing that resounded through the entire Lords Mansion:
“Holy shit! Who dug such a deep pit in the back garden!”
