would find out soon enough by trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cost would be his life and the day itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there would be gains as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't be a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after facing death countless times, Enkrid never let any day pass meaninglessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even on days sacrificed out of necessity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such situations, he always aimed to gain something, no matter how small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This repeated resolve had shaped an instinct within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That instinct whispered now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That strange-looking half-blood fairy assassin would not be an easy opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, High-ranked Soldier, the Spell breaker!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack always brought a lightheartedness to the atmosphere, making the mood more relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't known better, it might've worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But knowing the intention behind it, it was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a calculated move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excessive flattery to inflate egos and disarm vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'When I see it this way, he's rather meticulous.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An assassin targeting an ordinary soldier like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he a perfectionist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As thoughts of the half-blood fairy's face swirled in his mind, trying to gauge his personality, Enkrid arrived at the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, it's disgustingly crowded,\" Jack quipped as he approached from one side, closing the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, it is,\" Enkrid replied, spotting a ragged figure moving toward them from the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Enkrid spread his arms wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, Jack took the blow, while Bo dodged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid deftly twisted his body aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His muscles were stiff from the cold, but Audin's exercises had helped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't as rigid as he was on his \"first day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even drawing his sword, Enkrid grabbed Bo by the collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bo reflexively threw a punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the boldness granted by the Heart of the Beast, Enkrid predicted its trajectory by following it to the end and tilted his head to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fist grazed his earlobe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it was Enkrid's turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strengthening his grip on Bo's collar, he twisted, choking off his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bo groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid inhaled sharply, spinning Bo to use him as a human shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his light frame, the weight of an armed adult man bore down on his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted and twisted his waist, utilizing centrifugal force to swing Bo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pulled Bo halfway around, Enkrid's eyes caught the half-blood fairy throwing off his rags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment their gazes locked, the fairy seemed to smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why in this situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid had just secured a human shield, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fairy should've been alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The target had anticipated and reacted to the assassin's setup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the half-blood fairy remained composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smirking, he merely waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant his dangling hand reached his chest, it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dagger flew with speed invisible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassin's hand had barely touched his chest before the blade launched forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Enkrid could even position Bo as a shield, the dagger struck near his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fweeeet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The delayed sound of the whistle pierced his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thud followed by intense pain conveyed what had just transpired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassin had thrown a dagger, and it had pierced his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, that's how it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His instincts had been right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy wasn't ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the skill in throwing that dagger was enough to say so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if he prevented the enemy from throwing more daggers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with a dagger lodged in his body, the only thing bystanders perceived was two soldiers fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let go of me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bo shouted, kicking Enkrid in the stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grip on his collar loosened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid had taken a hit to the abdomen and released Bo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dagger lodged in his heart—it was strange he could still move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood welled up and spilled from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he fell to one knee, barely holding himself upright, the half-blood fairy approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You expected this, didn't you? Was their acting that bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as screams erupted around them, the half-blood fairy paid no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the world seemed to narrow down to just the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid asked, saving his last breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the chaos, the assassin heard him clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why ask? Because I'm curious. It seemed like you knew and reacted accordingly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid nodded faintly, gathering his last strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The acting was awful. Even a stray dog would've laughed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fairy nodded and flicked his hands sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two daggers flew at close range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid caught sight of their blades embedded in Jack and Bo's foreheads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two grooves, whistling blades—whistle daggers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They...what...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither could finish their sentences as they collapsed backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-blood fairy stopped there, sparing any further action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid knew Rotten was nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rotten didn't rush in during such situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was probably hiding somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-blood fairy didn't bother with Rotten—for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he'd chase him down once this was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, it didn't concern Enkrid anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The persistent lover never lets prey escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, Enkrid nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you surprised?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, most would be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry, but this is my third time already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of showing surprise, Enkrid grabbed the dagger stuck in his chest and pulled it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Schlick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the blade left his heart, a wave of excruciating pain followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed out from the gaping wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid's vision quickly blurred, and the assassin remarked, \"You're an interesting one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that so?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'll make things even more interesting.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he closed his eyes, Enkrid thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With darkness came the sight of the ferryman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keekeke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferryman cackled without saying much, seemingly amused.
