The Absolute Martial Deity of the Fallen Family - The Absolute Martial Deity of the Fallen Family chapter 68

68. You Don’t Need to Know

Crash!

The window shattered, and a member of the Night Guild fell to the entertainment district street below.

The screams of the intoxicated people echoed, while the sound of members of the Night Guild scattered throughout the entertainment district could also be heard.

“Try to be careful not to spread to the surrounding buildings when you set it on fire, brother.”

“That’s a tall order, little brother!”

Sirius and Andres had decided to call each other brother.

Now that they were men in black hiding their identities, they couldn’t call each other by their names.

Now, the rumor of the mysterious men in black brothers would spread throughout the south.

“What are you guys doing… eek!”

“You don’t need to know, hohoho…”

Did he like that line?

Andres recited the line that Sirius had taught him earlier again and cast a fire spell.

Andres was a genius magician who reached the 8th Circle at a relatively young age.

He could cast simple flame magic in the blink of an eye.

The members of the Night Guild tried to subdue Andres somehow, but they were no match for the flames that he continuously spewed out.

“You’re quite skilled, brother.”

“You too, little brother.”

Like that, Sirius and Andres defeated the remnants of the Night Guild.

They didn’t bother chasing after those who ran away.

That wasn’t their objective.

Those who escaped here would spread rumors of the Black Magician far and wide.

“Hold on, weren’t we supposed to get information on the Sinclair Swordsmanship Conference?”

Andres, who had been diligently defeating the remnants, looked at Sirius with a start.

“Don’t worry.”

Sirius approached the fat man who had been wielding a sword at the beginning.

He was actually the leader of the Night Guild, and he was still breathing.

“Spare me, spare me…….”

“Where are the executives of the Sinclair Swordsmanship Conference right now?”

“Si, Sinclair Swordsmanship Conference? Why…….”

“I’m the one asking the questions, not you.”

The man’s pupils dilated as Sirius brought a dagger to the nape of his neck.

“The Si, Sinclair Swordsmanship Conference is holding a banquet in Yokland, near here, today…….”

“Are you sure?”

“We, we delivered alcohol there, so we’re sure. Really…….”

“I see.”

Sirius turned his head and looked at Andres.

“How long will it take to get to Yokland?”

“If I use my flight magic, I can get there in 30 minutes.”

“I see.”

As he put away the dagger, the man looked relieved.

He thought he had been spared.

“Brother, let’s leave with one final big fire. But make sure it doesn’t spread to the surrounding buildings.”

“……!”

Andres shot out a blazing fireball, and the room was engulfed in flames.

As he listened to the fat man’s screams, Sirius leapt out the window.

“I don’t know the way, so you go ahead, brother.”

“Little brother, that line just now…… ‘I’m the one asking the questions, not you.’ It was pretty cool.”

“You can use it later.”

As he ran through the darkness with Andres, Sirius briefly wondered, ‘Is this right?’

Until now, Andres had lived a dignified life as the noble son of a prestigious family.

It would have been unimaginable for him to put on a mask and go around wantonly killing villains.

Was it right to teach Andres such deviance?

“We’ll make do somehow.”

“What did you just say?”

“Nothing.”

As we headed toward Yokland using light and flight magic, we saw someone riding like mad in the middle of the night.

“What’s that person doing?”

“It’s obvious.”

Sirius threw a dagger and knocked him off his horse.

“That’s the guy we saw briefly earlier. He must be riding off to report this to the Sinclair Swordsmanship Association.”

“I see!”

“He might have been dispatched by the Sinclair Swordsmanship Association.”

After retrieving the dagger, Sirius continued to ride on with Andres.

Yokland wasn’t as bustling as the city we had just visited.

There was a large mansion in the middle of the city, brightly lit as if having a party in the middle of the night.

“I think that’s it.”

“Are you sure?”

“I have a feeling.”

In fact, he had already extended his senses to check the magical energy.

There was someone with the magical energy of a 7th Circle in the mansion.

“Are we going to go through the window again this time?”

“As you can see, there aren’t any windows we can go through.”

“Ah…”

“We can just go over the wall.”

The mansion was surrounded by a large wall.

It seemed like they were having a gathering with lights brightly lit in the garden.

Sirius used light magic to jump up onto the wall.

Andres landed on the wall after Sirius.

Two men in black standing on a wall in the middle of the night.

It seemed very plausible.

“……”

The atmosphere was different from the Nine Guilds in the entertainment district.

Men with swords on their waists were drinking and chatting.

There were also some using test swords for practice inside, with a wrinkled old man watching them.

“Hmm…?”

The old man flinched and raised his head.

Then he spotted the two men in black standing on the wall.

“Who goes there?”

“You don’t need to know, hohoho…”

Andres replied without hesitation.

“I see you like that line.”

“It tickles my fancy.”

Why is this happening?

Sirius felt as if he had corrupted the young heir of a prestigious political party with the ways of the dark arts.

“Get down from there at once!”

“At Master’s birthday celebration, how dare you…!”

Men with swords rushed toward them, but Sirius and Andres simultaneously leaped from the wall.

“We won’t have to worry about the fire spreading here.”

“Yes, feel free to use your full power.”

Right after.

Crimson fire dragons erupted from Andres’s hands.

In an instant, the dragons of flame turned the garden into a sea of fire.

“Wha, what the…!”

“To unleash such high-powered magic in such a short time, then that means… Keugh!”

As someone began to deduce, Sirius immediately threw a dagger, cutting off their breath.

“What kind of person are you!”

“You don’t need to know.”

Sirius retorted as he brandished his sword.

The garden, surrounded by a fence, had completely turned into a sea of flames.

Running through it, he cut down the men, again and again.

His target was the old man who had first noticed the men in black earlier.

“Halt!”

“That’s far enough!”

At that moment, two people, a man and a woman, jumped out.

They were the Sword Ash who had been practicing in front of the old man earlier.

Judging by their movements as they charged toward him, it was clear that they were highly skilled.

Honestly speaking, they were a cut above Aileon.

“Haaa!”

“Haaa…!”

As the man and woman charged at him from two directions, Sirius extended his sword energy.

Unlike his usual energy, it looked like an ordinary magic sword.

This was because revealing the energy of the Northern Lights or the White Wave could reveal his identity.

However, it was more than enough to deal with these men.

“Swish…!”

“……!”

After knocking away the sword of the man who had charged in half a step faster, he slit his throat with the momentum.

Then, he half-turned his body to avoid the woman’s sword and stabbed her in the back with another half-turn.

Leaving the two collapsed people behind, he moved forward, and only the old man with wrinkles remained before him.

“Hmm….”

The old man was驼背.

However, his gaze was more ferocious than anyone else in this mansion.

“A top-notch corrugated sword. I remember now.”

The old man pointed a trembling finger at the sword Sirius was holding.

“That’s the item I personally delivered to Lord Francis. Did Lord Francis send you?”

The old man’s voice was laden with anger.

“What’s the problem? I’ve been following orders all this time. When I was told to kill, I killed, and when I was told to deliver money, I delivered it. So why are you doing this?”

“Are you curious?”

Sirius said in a cold voice.

“You don’t need to know.”

“Ugh…!”

The old man kicked off the ground and leapt up.

A brilliant magic sword unfolded from the blade.

“I’ll kill you and go find Francis to get some answers!”

The old man’s movements were sharp.

And fast.

Like the Kalstein he had fought before, he seemed to be using wind magic to increase his speed.

The extended tip of the sword aimed for Sirius’ neck.

It was a swift sword that would be invisible to ordinary people.

But when it came to swift swords, Sirius was no slouch either.

“No way!?”

Clang!

The blades clashed.

The old man’s eyes widened as his perfect trajectory was thrown off.

Gritting his teeth, the old man moved his entire body.

He had already noticed that the speed of the assailant before him was on par with his own.

“Hup…!”

The old man decided to use technique to win.

He mixed deception into each of his movements. He pretended to make the same move but changed it slightly each time.

He tried to dazzle the black-clad figure before him with a series of continuous attacks.

But Sirius didn’t budge.

He didn’t fall for any of the old man’s tricks and solidly defended against every attack.

Impatience began to creep into the old man’s eyes, while Sirius’ gaze, on the contrary, was relaxed.

“Ugh…!”

The old man let out a scream-like battle cry.

Immediately afterward, a blood vessel burst in the old man’s eye.

But at the same time, the old man’s magic sword became much more intense.

Since neither speed nor technique worked, he intended to win with the power of his magic sword.

Boom!

The moment the blades clashed, Sirius’ swordsmanship was dented.

That’s how powerful the old man’s magic sword was.

A triumphant smile spread across the old man’s lips.

He thought that if he could corner Sirius like this, he would be able to seize victory.

However, the moment a burning tree collapsed with a loud roar.

“……!”

Sirius’s sword energy turned white.

He reconstructed his sword energy with the White Wolf’s energy.

The old man’s eyes widened at the sight of the blade that had suddenly turned white.

“That magic sword is…….”

Crack!

The old man couldn’t finish his sentence.

His magic sword shattered and the blade itself broke the moment he received the sword that Sirius swung.

The old man glared at him, trying to identify the technique that had broken his sword.

However, Sirius had already retracted his sword energy.

“Ugh……!”

Swish!

The jagged sword cut a deep wound into the old man’s chest.

The old man fell onto the burning garden, unable to even scream properly.

“Ouch!”

At that moment, Andres’s voice rang out.

He had been cleaning up the rest while Sirius was dealing with the old man.

“There were some guys who just escaped through the west gate. They weren’t carrying swords at their waists, and their atmosphere was different from the others.”

“They must be the ones Francis sent. They probably ran off to tell Francis this news.”

“Francis?”

“He seems to be the one giving orders to the Sinclair Swordsmanship School. Do you happen to know him?”

“He’s a famous merchant. He leads the Francis Trading Company, but surely not……?”

“We’re entangled.”

They hadn’t known who was above the Sinclair Swordsmanship School, but now they finally knew.

“Let’s go after the guys who escaped through the west gate. Then we can meet Francis.”

“Got it.”

Sirius headed towards the west gate with Andres.

At that moment, someone collapsed, bleeding and moaning.

“Who the hell are you guys. You’re not only after us, but also after Sir Francis, just who…….”

“…….”

Sirius and Andres paused for a moment, then spoke together.

“You don’t need to know.”

“…….”

Leaving the speechless man behind, Sirius and Andres left the burning mansion.

People were gathering around the mansion to watch, but they walked through them without a care.

People gasped and made way for them, and the two men in black advanced without hesitation.

Now, these people would spread rumors far and wide about the mysterious men in black who had destroyed the Sinclair Swordsmanship School in a single night, or rather, in an instant.

Everyone here would become a collaborator in Sirius’s plan to conquer the south.

“There go those guys.”

“Let’s give chase.”

Sirius and Andres shot off, going after the fleeing men.

The crowd cheered as the two men in black disappeared into the night sky.
