One of the assassins took a step forward, trying to shorten the distance .
There were still a certain distance between them and Epsilon . But even if Epsilon launched a surprise attack from where she was, they would be able to take that with ease .
─ However .
“What!?”
Suddenly, the assassin’s head flew into the air .
And Epsilon slashed at the assassin’s body of which blood flying in all directions, and fell down because of lacking strength .
“How can this person release such a strong magic!?”
The remaining four assassins quickly changed to a defensive posture, but they couldn’t cover their surprised look .
Releasing magic from a sword .
A magic-swordsman could do that as long as he reached a certain level . However, as it is impractical in real combat, no one uses it .
Control on magic would be lost once it leaves one’s body and rapidly disperse . To maintain magic that was dispersing, one had to use even more magic . And it took some time to prepare a large amount of magic, which would also delay the attack . The longer the distance, the time and magic needed would increase in proportion .
Only those who had a far tighter control on magic than ordinary people did could solve this problem . Only a small amount of magic could reach a place far away in a short time . Only provided the caster can use his tight control to suppress the consumption of magic and shorten the time accumulating magic . But even if one could do that, if he didn’t have enough amount of magic, he would lose in a long-term war .
“The time she used to accumulate magic was almost zero… Can someone really do that?”
They knew how difficult it was to attack from far away in a real combat, so they were quite surprised .
“Don’t stay together . Split up!!”
“─ Useless . ”
Countless slashes cut the space .
The slashes, letting out a sharp sound indicating they would cut anything, mercilessly rushed to the assassins who were running helter-skelter .
“Dammit, I can’t dodge . ”
“Keep away from it for the time being . ”
“Don’t back down . If we can’t shorten the distance, we can only unilaterally…”
“It won’t work . You are absolutely unable to escape from my attack range . ”
Another assassin’s head was cut down .
The blood was hit by Epsilon’s slash, and dispersed after turning into red mist .
“Things are going badly…”
“How could she control so many slashes to such an extent?”
“This is [seven shadows]…”

An anxious look appeared on the assassins’ face .
Then, another assassin turned into a blood mist after being chopped by Epsilon .
─ Just at this time .
“Ga . ”
Epsilon stopped attacking after letting out the dull sound .
Epsilon placed her hand on her chest and got down on her knees .
Then she fell down .
“Not right now…”
Red blood issued from the gap of her bodysuit .
The wound had cracked .
“I heard that she had been seriously injured by Mordred . ”
“This seems to be her limit . ”
Yes, Epsilon had reached her limit .
She knew that, so she launched a short-term decisive battle . If it was an ordinary enemy, the result would have been determined at the beginning .
But enemies were members of the cult who had a second name .

Although she killed one as soon as the battle began, she spent too much time in the later fight . Then, after killing three assassins, Epsilon’s wound finally cracked .
“Ku…”
The sword fell from Epsilon’s hand .
“… it seems that we will be the first one to kill [seven shadows] . We will definitely be promoted!”
“But there are another six people like her . If only they wouldn’t threaten the cult…”
“Mordred-sama will kill them all, including the so-called Shadow-sama . ”
“If that’s the case, then it would be fine… hey, stay there!”
They looked down at Epsilon, whose face distorted because of pain .
“We won’t kill you yet . After coaxing the information out of you… oops . ”
Epsilon reached out and tried to pick up the sword that fell on the ground before . An assassin immediately stepped on her hand .
“U…”
“Give it up . ”
“Sha… dow… sama…”
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“I’m… so… sorry…”

Epsilon made her final effort to make a dagger and tried to stab herself in throat .
“What… stop her!!”
At the crucial moment, an assassin kicked the dagger away .
“U…”
“It was damn dangerous . ”
“Hey, hey, your… feet…”
“Hmm? My feet?”
“Your feet… were cut down…”
“Eh…?”
The man who kicked the dagger away had his feet fell down on the slabstone .
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my feet!!”
Then, ko, ko, ko .
Came the footsteps .
