“The best strategy is to take advantage of Roland’s abilities!”
The Hero Almeria said with a tired smile evident on her face.
The hero party had taken a brief operational meeting in an empty storage unit inside the demon king’s castle.
As a brief summary of the operation, the hero, a mage, a priest and a holy knight travelled as a party to get as far as they did. As an assassin, my job is the attack the Demon King with my skill “Thin Shadow.”
This was the only plan we had.
“Almeria, shouldn’t it be you who kills the Demon King?”
Why are you trying to be an average party member even though you’re a hero?
“It’s okay! This plan has the highest success rate out of everything we could do.”
Everyone in the party agreed with the plan.
I’m flattered, but still…
“It’s because Roland is the best!”
If you look at the individual forces, in theory, it is the plan that would work the best, but…
By the time you get there, your physical strength and magic will be all but consumed.
Our fatigue felt unreal, the melancholy mood of our party felt tangible, and was drifting around the field.
It’s because of this, if anyone dies-
Everyone is a friend who has travelled so far together.
I want to end this journey without losing a single person.
Usually, this should be the customary noisy break time, but right now, nobody talked.
I think we all have a good understanding of the situation.
I get out of my seat.
“Hey.”
“What is it?”
“Where are you going?”
“To the toilet, You coming with me?”
“Jesus Christ! Get it done quick! You have no tension at times like this…”
The brave party is a group of girls the same age as me.
I wonder what Almeria was imagining, with such a red face and strong reaction.
“I’ll be right back.”
As I looked for signs and confirmed that there was no problem, I quickly left the warehouse.
I have no intention of returning, and I’m sure we won’t meet again
I will finish this journey without losing anyone.
That is my mission.
If we were to face the demon king as it is now, someone will surely die.
“…Well, it’s time to work.”
The top floor of the demon king’s castle was strangely quiet.
At the end of the long corridor, there stood a large, regal and repulsive door.
…I suppose it is over there?
I climb out of the window of the hallway without any hesitation.
In the window frame, I silently climbed to the terrace a floor above me.
Because of the structure of the castle, the only real entrance was the door at the front of the room. The only problem was that entering from there was basically announcing my presence to the demon king.
Still, my comrades had no thoughts entering elsewhere.
But when I checked the internal drawings of the castle I got, there was one off-route path I could follow.
I put a rope over the spire, and I silently slink from shadow to shadow, navigating my way to the demon king.
Why would you fight from the front ‘fair and square?’ You would have to be incredibly brave or incredibly stupid for that.
Doing so is an easy way to get yourself killed.
With the rope in my hand, I weave through the nooks and crannies of the spire and jump over the terraces.
Finally, I reached the window of the audience room.
Placing my hand against the glass, I take a deep breathe and exhale slowly.
I concentrate magic into my index finger, and trace a circle in the window glass.
With this little amount of magic, both the sky barrier and glass was pierced.
Confidently, just like unlocking a door with a key, he jumped into the room.
Right behind the king’s chair.
“It seems as if a fascinating visitor has arrived.”
As expected of the Demon King. I suppose my visit was discovered in an instant.
I leisurely take a seat while releasing the stealth magic encompassing my person.
The demon king, or queen I suppose, wore a tall luxurious wine cloak that seemed to smoulder with real flames. She looks at me from within her long eyelashes.
She had bright crimson hair, akin to dancing flames; and blood red eyes.
She was absolutely an enchanting demon woman.
A simple words cannot describe how she looked.
As I move, the demon king began to emit a free flowing black lightning spell.
This was the first time I had seen this type of magic, but I did not struggle to avoid it.
She shot the skill at the wrong place, and thus I could avoid it.
However, it seems as if the demon noticed something unusual.
“Huh?”
The power of the spell was indeed amazing.
The spell easily shattered the magical boundary and disinegated the wall with a deafening roar.
If the spell hit me directly, there wouldn’t be a trace of me left.
The demon immediately shot a second spell in the completely opposite location.
Once again, the spell’s direction was misplaced.
“―- Again…..!”
I’ve been alternating the use of my skill [Thin Shadow] since the beginning.
I am able to switch the skill on and off at the speed of lightning.
I disappear even though I should have been right in front of you, and when you think something is wrong, I’m right in front of you again.
Repeating this quickly can cause confusion.
The more you try to catch me in your field of vision, the more confused you become.
I in fact, have not moved a step since the beginning.
All living this act like this when they start to get completely confused.
“Clever……!”
The devil began to get frustrated.
The demon king’s magic power, magic technology, magic sense, and combat power are definitely strong.
But…
“Demon King, when was the last time you fought a real battle?”
The demon king doesn’t fight very often.
I’ve never heard of him appearing on the front lines himself.
(TLN: When it says Him its referring to the Demon king but there is no term for a demon king thats a women and i guess its usally a male demon king)
I always sharpen my sense when fighting against the enemy, and that flaw in the demon king is fatal.
However, my skill is one that cannot be a hero’s skill: “Thin Shadow”
Usually, out-of-class skills are skills that no one uses.
As a byproduct, an out-of-class skill is a skill that no one knows how to deal with.
If you fool around with it somewhat.
With some originality and ingenuity.
Just like that, an off skill becomes the strongest skill that no one can imitate.
“Was my skill first seen through?”
I turn on the skill, and my body figure vanishes.
“Cheh-, Whe–”
“In front of you”
The moment I deactivated the skill, I thrust a dagger between the eyebrows of the devil.
Even a child can buy a dagger if he saves pocket money. The price of this dagger is 17,000 phosphorus.
I didn’t need any special weapons.
In the end, weapons are just tools.
I, myself is the greatest and best weapon there is.
As an assassin, that phrase was my creed.
“I’ll admit to losing……………………. I’ll decrease the size of the devil army and will dissolve it altogether. I’ll tell it’s remnants to not harm human beings.”
The demon king kneeled down.
“I won’t allow it.”
Even if this woman seriously dismantles the demon king’s army and does not harm human beings, as long as the symbol known as the demon king lives, we will never hold the species back.
It’s my duty to protect the brave party and assassinate the Demon King.
I can’t abandon my duty.
“If you have any last words, say it now.”
As I say this, the demon king who was nodding raised his face.
It was a relieved expression.
The expression almost spoke, it cried that the burden it carried can finally be put down.
I guess she was prepared for this.
I killed the Demon King.
The mission was completed.
I exited from the front door, I left the demon king’s castle alone.
