The Eternal Debauchery's

“...Two hearts are connected..Two hearts are connected..” Lena holds her chin while thinking about the meaning of the words on the door. Claire was beside him, but she couldn't think of anything either.

 Glancing at the two girls, Louise carefully approached me without letting the girls realize that something was wrong. When the distance between us was almost zero, he opened his lips.

“... Killer?” He asked in a whisper. I smiled gently.

“How did you realize it?"

"… The monsters here do not emit any killing intent.” I looked at Louise with a look of admiration and a small laugh.

"Smart." I said. Louise rolled her eyes, but she quickly returned to an expression of seriousness.

"How much? I can only detect two. ”

"Five, one in the tenth layer, two in the ninth layer and the last two in the eighth layer." Louise's expression fell. He clenched his hands and sighed to control his emotions. 

"Damn it, we're screwed." louise said.

I stared at him lightly.

"Fearful?" Louise rolled her eyes again, but when she saw my fine expression, she calmed down.

"… Do you have a plan?"

"of course. Do you want to hear it?” i'm saying.

"Tell me."

"If they bleed, we can kill them." I said again.

“...” louise was astonished by my words.

I chuckled at Louise's desperate expression and unsheathed my sword.

“Focus only to protect the girls. I'll take care of the rest.” Louise put on a look-you-insane expression and grabbed my hand anxiously.

I smiled and touched her cheek. "Don't worry, your man will take care of them."

“... who is my man?” Louise blushed, but for some reason, she felt much more relaxed now. At that moment, Claire turned around and looked at us suspiciously. 

"What do you two whisper?" 

I grinned and pointed to the darkness. “We can feel some enemies. I'll look after them.”

Knowing the monster strength we faced up until now, the two sisters did not assume anything was wrong with my request and nodded. I then looked towards Louise and gestured for her to protect the girls.

"… Careful." Louise whispers.

“If I die today, remember to bring flowers to my grave every year.” I joke.

"But if I survive, instead of flowers, I want a kiss."

"… Fraudsters." A smile appeared on Louise's face. The next second, he looked at the ground with an embarrassed expression.

"… I'll think about it." Sweet. Seeing the charming expression on Louise's face, I took a step forward while holding my sword.

"I'm leaving!" I said and waved towards the girls.

 “... Cool once.” Claire whispered from behind. 

"Yes. But he's too much into the hero role. The enemy is not even real.” Lena shook her head.

 “Mmm.” Claire nodded.

Now I'm ashamed. Louise looked at the girls helplessly before looking at my back with a worried expression. He involuntarily clenched his fists and prayed to the goddess to protect me. I looked towards the darkness and smiled.

Oldest brother must have been the one to decide. Although Alice was the one who provoked him, she only gave him a final push. The fact that he had no hesitation in sending assassins against me meant that he had thought about it for a long time. 

But I have to admit that Alice's manipulation is impressive. Just a few days ago I created the impression that I had a super strong master protecting me from the shadows, but under Alice's influence, the eldest brother seemed to forget about it. At the very least, these assassins looked stronger than the last time. 

Of course, they were just slightly larger ants. The assassins were a little surprised when they saw me walking forward. They soon realized that I had found them. But they don't panic. As assassins, they are aware of the possibility of being found.

They quickly calmed down and decided to continue with their plan. The leader of the assassins, a tenth-tier man, used his gaze to signal something to the two weakest assassins. He probably thought that I only detected the weakest pair. The two eighth-tier assassins nodded and crawled silently towards me. I smiled and took a step forward.

Before the assassins could react, my figure disappeared and appeared in front of one of them. The killer panicked. Instantly, he jumped to the side and slashed my neck. At the same time, the second assassin moved. But instead of attacking me, he instead rushed towards the girls.

I frowned. My sword moved upwards and blocked the killer's dagger. Then, I took a deep breath. Even for me, defeating this group of enemies using fourth tier strength is extremely difficult. So, I released the mana hidden inside my body. In one second, my strength surged strongly. Under the assassins and Louise's shocked gaze, my fourth layer increased. First, rise to the fifth layer, then to the sixth and seventh layers. When it reached the eighth layer, it finally stopped. 

“Hmm, it will be enough.” I curled my lips upwards. 

A terrible coldness struck the killer's neck. Sensing the powerful mana flowing through my body, the assassin instinctively jumped back. However, distance was not an obstacle to my sword. With a thrust, my sword advanced straight towards the killer's neck. The thrust of the sword seemed slow, but in truth, it was extremely fast. Neither the evasive actions of the killer nor the efforts of fellow assassins to save him were able to change his fate. 

Less than a second from the start of the battle, the first assassin was already dead. I pulled my sword back from the killer's neck and pointed it down. Red blood flowed on the metal blade and fell to the ground. Then, I looked at the remaining four assassins and chuckled. "You're gonna need some coffins."
