Chapter 111 - The Assassin Attacks

"Pepe!"

"Master... are you safe...?"

 He holds Pepe, whose back is bleeding, close to him with his penis.

 Fortunately, there is no danger to his life.

 However, the wound in his back was quite deep, and the situation was clearly unpredictable.

 I looked straight ahead and handed Pepe, whom I was holding in my arms, over to Alicia.

"Get Pepe some treatment!"

"...Yeah. Just to be sure, I gave Elio the too."

 As I pushed the still-developing Alicia back, she cast a spell on me and I aimed my penis at the enemy before me, who was clearly on a different level.

 Since he appeared suddenly, we were wary of him possessing the same disappearance skill as Sophia.

 It instantly expands the phallic area as well.

"Huh? That's an unusual magic sword. But why is it hidden on your waist where it's hard to take out? If it was a hidden weapon, there should be plenty of places to hide it that would make it easier to handle."

"That doesn't matter, who are you?!"

 He ignored the (difficult to answer) question the masked woman asked and continued speaking.

 Given that she had appeared in this place at this time, there was no way the woman in front of him could be the culprit behind the contamination of the water source.

(And what about this guy who was talking about the "Holy Knight" earlier…?!)

 There are probably very few people who know Alicia's true identity.

 A bad feeling crossed my mind, and I instinctively raised my voice and questioned the woman in front of me.

 However,

"Who the hell do you think I am? You're all going to die for me anyway."sadistic pleasureEcstasy

 The masked woman laughed loudly and threw a large number of knives at the same time.

 It's incredibly sharp.

"H! No excuses!"

 Naturally, I calculated to avoid the knife hitting Alicia and the others and dodged it.

 Or knock them down with his penis.

 He then ran off to neutralize the woman in front of him who had suddenly launched an attack.

 --But the next moment.

"What?! It's gone――"

 The masked woman had completely vanished from before his eyes - and even from the senses of his phallic realm.

 That's impossible.

 But the next moment, my phallic area sensed an even more impossible reality.

 It felt like someone appeared diagonally behind me without any warning .​​​​​

"Uh, Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!?"

 I practically screamed as I reacted immediately to the presence that appeared diagonally behind me.

 He unleashed a spinning slash with his phallic sword, which had multiple branches, striking both attack and defense at the same time.

 Instant -- bang!

"Oh. You can't believe you blocked this on your first try? I was told not to let my guard down, but with Marge I can't let my guard down. I was right to target you as a bodyguard."

"...!?"

 The short sword held by the masked woman and my phallic sword collided violently.

 But――

(Are you fighting honestly with my adamantite-turned phallic sword?!)

 No matter how many times you strike, the opponent's sword will not break.

 In fact, there isn't even a single chip in the blade.

 It was like a special sword endowed with the indestructible attribute.

 No way, a terrible feeling crossed my mind, but at the same time, I moved quickly with all my might to finish off my enemy.

"Yaaaaaah!"

"Huh?!"

 The moment it collides with the opponent's sword, the phallic sword transforms.

 The movement and transformation speed of the sword was impossible in a normal sword fight, and under normal circumstances, the fight would have been decided here for sure.

 But,

"That was close. Transforming while maintaining your sharpness during combat is unfair. The way you parried the blows and exchanged blows shows your physical strength is extraordinary. If we fought seriously I would have lost. Are you really human?"

"Wha...?!"

 The masked woman had completely avoided my attacks.

 He suddenly vanished before my eyes, and the next moment he was standing in the same spot where the thrown knives had been scattered.

 Again , completely evading detection by the phallic realm .​​​

 From that, there was only one possible ability that the opponent could have.

"Could that be, a unique skill that allows teleportation!?"

"Oh? Well, I guess if I show this much I'll be found out."

 The masked woman laughs.

 And when the woman confirmed my hypothesis, the question "why?" once again arose in my mind. 

 Judging from previous battles, his teleportation ability probably isn't unlimited.

 That knife was imbued with strange magical power. It was probably the origin of a limited warp skill.

 But even if you take that into account... a teleportation skill that can be activated so freely during battle is truly an ability on which one can carry the weight of a nation.

 Was it a difference in skill or experience? Judging from the way the masked woman was fighting me now with my activated, I could tell she was a very capable woman.

 And yet――

"Why would someone with such great abilities do something like this?!"

 They polluted the water source and then attacked us when we came to purify it.

 No, in fact, from the way he spoke it seemed as if he had been targeting us from the beginning―― That's when I voiced my doubts again.

 Smack.

"a?"

 I wonder if my attack earlier had just barely hit him.

 The woman's mask cracks, and then... WHACK!

"...Tch. What have I done?"

 The woman's true face was revealed.

 A human in his mid-twenties.

 She has a beautiful and well-balanced appearance that suits her dark grey ponytail.

 On the other hand, those insane eyes had a mysterious charm that seemed to attract the opposite sex - and I felt like I'd seen that face somewhere before.

"You are, by any chance... Kokoro Anarski, one of the Thirteen Holy Swords of the Holy Kingdom?"

"Hk"

 Hearing my words, the attacker narrowed his eyes as if to say, "Huh?"

 That was about two years ago.

 I was attending a grand ceremony held to celebrate the King of the Imperial Capital welcoming a new Queen from the Holy Kingdom, as a member of a noble family.

 Among the six of the Thirteen Holy Swords who came as envoys to demonstrate friendship between our two countries, I had certainly seen this person's face. This person was carrying an indestructible weapon - the Holy Sword.

 I remember it well. 

 After all, they were the finest of the Holy Knights, whom I admired.

 Alicia and I had talked about wanting to be as strong as her one day.

"Well, if you've been found out, that can't be helped... That's right, I'm the 6th ranked member of the Thirteen Holy Swords. My name is Kokoro Anarski. I'm the church's exclusive cleaner, here to eliminate you, the Alicia Blue-Eyes."

"What…?!"

 As soon as her true identity was revealed, the woman began babbling away about her purpose - Kokoro's words left me frozen.

(The church is trying to take the life of the - Alicia!?)

 "That's impossible!" my rational side repeatedly screamed at that unexpected statement.

 Certainly, after what happened with Sophia, I strongly felt that the church could not be trusted.

 I was almost certain he was after Alicia for the worst reasons.

 My trust in the church had fallen so much that I could easily accept the suspicious words of Sister Claire, a fallen monk I once met, who said, "The church today is corrupt."

 However - the reason why the Holy Kingdom of Romalia, the headquarters of the church, still reigns as a huge religious nation is due to the achievements of its religious leaders at the time, who united heroes from all over the country to oppose the demons who had once banded together to destroy the human race.

 And the foremost among these "heroes from around the country" were the Holy Knights of that time.

 For this reason, the Holy Knights are known as legendary Gifts, and as the ones who lead the Holy Knights, they are considered second only to the Oracles by the church.

 And yet――

"Why would the church try to take < >'s life!?"Holy KnightAlicia

"Huh? Who cares about that? I just want to be able to kill in the name of..."Absolute JusticeGod

 Kokoro dismisses my desperate question and says something unbecoming of a Holy Knight.

"More importantly... why do you think I took the time to tell you that it was a church order? It's because I wanted to see the look of despair on your brats' faces!"

"...!?"

"Haha, it's scary. Even if you manage to escape, a huge religious nation that has a huge influence on the continent is seriously trying to take your lives. They're so serious that they might even send the Thirteen Holy Swords to kill you. You'll lose all hope in life, right? So, look, don't you think it would be better for both you and me if you were to be torn to pieces here? Right!?"

"Huh?!"

 The moment Kokoro shouted with a crazed smile on her face -- Zugagagagagagan!

 A large number of knives were thrown at me again, and Kokoro's fierce attack, making full use of her teleportation ability, attacked me without any hesitation.

"Aha! Ahahahahaha! Amazing, amazing! You're seriously amazing! To think you've done this much at your age! Ah, I'm getting seriously excited...! When a cute brat like you resists me like this, I can't believe it! Just imagining pulling out my guts is enough to make me cum, hey!"

"~~~!"

"Elio!"

 As Alicia's screams echo as she protects Pepe, genuine murderous intent is hurled head-on.

 The insane murderous intent was even more intense than when I fought the demon Regina, and it blew away all of my minor doubts.

 I have no idea why.

 But the Church is seriously trying to kill the Holy Knight - Alicia...!

 They even go so far as to pollute water sources to lure them.Holy KnightAlicia

 They would dispatch one of the Thirteen Holy Swords, whose teleportation ability would be able to greatly shorten the marching time.

 That's how serious I am. Alicia's life――!

"That's something...who would allow that?! Phallic sword!"

 Using his shape-shifting penis, Kokoro uses it as a warp starting point to knock all the knives that are thrown at him, one after the other, into the water.

 At the same time he attacks Kokoro with his sword - bang!

 Kokoro warps towards the knife that must have been thrown in my blind spot and puts some distance between them.

 Then, in the wrong direction, he took off running towards Alicia, who was protecting Pepe with a defensive barrier.

"Shima――?!"

"You idiot! My true goal is to become a Holy Knight, so there's no need for me to keep fighting with you and be so honest!"

 Kokoro runs at incredible speed.

 He throws a knife towards Alicia, trying to close the distance between them in an instant.

「Damn――!?」

 In order to protect Alicia and the others who were being targeted, I tried to activate my ability to draw the two of them to me, but at that moment...

"Just kidding❤"

"Huh?!"

 With my consciousness engrossed in what was directly in front of me, Kokoro's presence appeared behind me - in a place where no knife should have been lying.

"Wha――?!"

"This cave is already filled with my knives. Did you fall for my ostentatious knife attack?"

 The moment that I thought for sure that Kokoro had said that during that drawn-out moment, the murderous blade closed in on me.

"Guh?!"

 Although he was slow to react to Kokoro's cunning surprise attack, he somehow managed to slip his phallic sword in front of the deadly blade in the nick of time and successfully defended himself.

 But the next moment.

"I've already seen through the strength of that magic sword - Holy Knight Skill !"

"Wha――?!"

 In an instant -- BAAAAAAAHHH!

The short sword imbued with the magical powers of the Holy Knight - a holy sword with the indestructible property - shattered my adamantite penis.

 With that momentum, the holy sword slices through my shoulder.

 Zap! Boom!

 Fresh blood spurted from my body, and Alicia's scream, "Elio?!", echoed through the cave.
