I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

Just like that, Asuna sat alone on the roof, playing with the iron sword in her hand, looking at the buildings in the distance, searching for any suspicious spots.

Meanwhile, Yvis was patrolling the mansion diligently, carrying a load of wooden weapons on her back.

Seeing that their leader was so dedicated, the Kamen Riders who were originally on patrol all perked up their spirits.

Not long after, sometime late at night.

Yvis, who was leading a patrol downstairs, suddenly raised her head and looked towards a place outside the mansion.

"Captain?!"

Several Kamen Rider soldiers looked at each other, they didn't find anything wrong.

"Boom!!"

Without saying anything, Ivy pulled out a wooden spear from her back, stomped her body on the ground, and jumped onto the nearby wall.

Her strange eyes looked even more terrifying under the moonlight, firmly locked on a small black dot in the distance!

In the church in the distance, Leone, who had just jumped up, suddenly felt a creepy feeling of palpitations!

"Uh-huh!!!"

"call!!!"

After locking onto the black dot in the distance, Ivys didn't hesitate at all. She exerted force with her arm and threw the wooden spear in her hand out fiercely.

With a dull sound of breaking through the air, a few cracks appeared on the hard wooden spear, but it still flew towards Leone at an astonishing speed.

"You must be kidding, I just came up!!!"

Leone screamed, and like a nimble cat, he quickly jumped to the side.

However, even so, the palpitations in her heart still did not disappear, but became even more terrifying!

On the roof of the mansion.

"Finally they showed up... I just don't know which side they are from."

Like Yvis, Asuna also noticed Leona's arrival and slowly stood up.

She gently threw the iron sword in her hand into the air, then stretched out her hand and grasped the hilt accurately.

The next moment, somewhere in the mansion, a wooden spear broke through the air.

"In that case..." Asuna looked at the roof of the church in the distance, "At such a long distance, they won't kill anyone, right?"

As she finished speaking, Asuna threw the iron sword in her hand away fiercely.

The iron sword was spinning rapidly in the air, like a full moon formed by a dazzling cold light, and it was chasing the wooden spear with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Its target was Leona, who jumped up and tried to avoid Xavius' attack!

43 I shouldn't have taken on this task!

"boom!!!"

Wood chips and stones flew everywhere as the wooden spear collided with the church roof.

With the help of Yvis's immense strength, even a wooden spear could function as a siege weapon.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

A large amount of wood chips and stones hit Leone's body. The wooden splinters were like long needles, piercing directly into Leone's body, causing the expression on her face to suddenly become distorted.

And those stones hit her hard, making her injuries even more serious.

If someone else was here, this level of "scratch" might have made him unable to move, but Leone still looked full of energy.

Although the pain in her body made her grimace in pain, the abrasions and puncture wounds caused by stones and splinters were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, Leona's injuries were healed. Apart from the holes and traces of blood on her clothes that proved that she had been injured, the only thing that remained in her body was the wooden thorn, constantly reminding her that the person who attacked her was someone she could never defeat.

But even so, the alarm bells in Leone's heart were still ringing violently.

Every cell in her body was sending her crazy warnings.

In the beast form, the animal's instinct to deal with danger was frantically warning her, and then in the next moment, Leone ran away without thinking, following the instinctive crisis management.

At this moment, Leone's two cat ears had already captured a sharp sound of breaking through the air!

It’s even more terrifying than the previous wooden spear!

"What the hell!"

Leone cursed inwardly, enduring the pain caused by the wooden splinters inside his body, and bent down, getting on all fours. He seemed to have turned into a giant cat, moving flexibly among the ruins of the church that had been destroyed by the wooden spears.

The next moment, a "full moon" filled with cold light fell from the sky and landed accurately not far behind Leone.

"Pfft!!!"

Apart from a surprising gust of wind, the full moon did not cause any large-scale damage.

Compared with the previous wooden spear, its control over force is several times higher.

"Who can defeat such a terrifying guy?!"

Leone turned around and looked back. Not far behind her, a hole with extremely neat edges appeared in front of her, as if something had been driven into the ground.

"You can't afford to offend."

Nodding and glancing at the rocky paving bricks under his feet, Leone's eyes flashed with a hint of relief for surviving the disaster, and he turned and walked into the darkness.

That night, she experienced life-and-death crises twice without even seeing the person who attacked her.

It even left countless splinters in her body. After returning this time, Leone had to find someone to help her pick out the splinters from her body.

Relying on the power of her imperial weapon, Leone was not afraid of being injured at all. Sometimes, when someone's knife just passed through her body, the wound might have healed completely.

However, for tiny things like this that are inside the body, she needs someone's help to get them out. Otherwise, even if she is not afraid of getting hurt, it will affect future missions.

Before Leone could get far away from here, several soldiers from the Kamen Rider Group arrived here.

"The previous church was destroyed by the captain's attack. The sword marks left on the ground should have been left by the masked master."

One of the soldiers took out a rope tied to a magnet and "fished out" the iron sword that was deeply embedded in the ground.

"Keep chasing, that guy won't be able to get far!"

"it is good!"

The other soldiers nodded and then dispersed, looking for clues about Leone.

According to their original experience, whenever an assassin took a look from afar, their leader and the captain would each launch a long-range attack to cripple him.

The task of myself and others is to collect the bodies or provide first aid.

Only in rare cases would an assassin be able to hide from Asuna and Kayaba Akihiko's perception and get close to them.

However, at this point, if they still haven't noticed anyone sneaking in, then they really can replace their guards with a new group of people.

Therefore, under this preconceived situation, they did not think that the extremely daring assassin could escape far from here.

In addition, Leone is a rare Imperial Tool User who mainly strengthens the physical body. They underestimated the range of Leone's movement after being injured.

So much so that in the end, when they found Leone's trail, they could no longer catch up with her.

All he could do was watch in silence as the animal-like figure gradually moved further away and disappeared into the darkness of the imperial capital...

"How to do?"

One of the soldiers said with a bitter face.

"What else can I do? I'll just wait to be scolded tomorrow!"

Another soldier told the cruel truth.

"Oh, let's go back."

"Let's go..."

"I hope that Izayoi won't do anything rash when healing our wounds..."

"With Mask-sama and Yvis-sama watching over us... it should be... okay, right?"

"Maybe……"

"You should have said, 'Let's hope'."

"..."

the other side.

Leone, who had finally escaped the pursuit of Asuna's personal guards, easily avoided the patrols of the city guards and successfully escaped from the imperial capital.

But even so, she did not dare to let her guard down. After walking around the imperial capital several times, she dared to stop and rest.

“——Damn it! What kind of monster is that?!

I had already restrained my aura and only watched from a distance, but I was discovered?!"

Leone sat under a tree, breathing heavily, the traces of animal transformation on his body had faded, and he had turned into a human.

"Besides that legendary mask, there are actually people who possess such terrifying strength... And those guards are also monsters! How are we supposed to deal with such beings?!"

When Leone thought of the two attacks he had suffered before, he no longer had the slightest desire to resist.

I just glanced at them from a distance and didn't even see what the guard looked like, but I ended up being attacked from a distance?

If we fight them in close combat in the future, how many of us can withstand such an attack?

I’m afraid I’ll have to stay in bed for half a month if I get hit!

When she thought of this, Leone felt pain all over her body, and the pain that was previously covered by tension and fear flooded into her mind like a tide.

"I shouldn't have taken on this mission in the first place!"

Words of great regret came out of Leone's mouth. She slowly stood up and walked slowly towards the night raid's base.

44 Night Attack

After continuing to detour for a while, Leone finally fled all the way back to the base of the night attack.

As an assassination organization that has already gained a great reputation in the imperial capital, the base of Night Raid is not built underground like other assassination organizations, or built by hollowing out an entire mountain.

If an uninformed person passed by here, he might think that this was a private castle built on the mountain by some important figure in the imperial capital.

That’s right, the base of Night Raid, an assassination organization that terrifies the rich and powerful in the imperial capital, is a castle!

In the mountains far from the imperial capital, under a cliff somewhere, the castle base built on the mountain for the night attack was located there.

After a long journey, Leone, who had gradually gotten used to the pain in her body, passed through the passage in the castle and returned to their meeting room.

"Ah, I'm saved!"

When Leone sat on the chair, he immediately relaxed his entire body, as if he had lost strength, and leaned back on the chair, panting with a tired look on his face in front of the other members of Night Raid.

"Leone, what's wrong with you?"

The person who spoke was a woman with short white hair sitting at the head of the conference room.

She had an eye patch on her face, one of her arms was replaced with a mechanical prosthetic hand, and she was wearing a black cloak coat used exclusively for bosses, giving her a very capable look.

She stood up from her seat, poured a glass of water for Leone, and then came to her and asked:

"Didn't I ask you to get information about that masked man in the imperial capital? Why did a fight happen? Who was the opponent? How strong was he?"

Leone's clothes had already become tattered due to Xavier's attack, and were stained with blood, revealing large areas of smooth skin.

Looking at Leone's current state, it seems that he has experienced a very intense battle. Otherwise, ordinary people would not let Leone get out of this tired look.

Before becoming the leader of the Night Raid, Najeshita was the deputy of Esdeath, who wiped out the southern aliens. However, facing Esdeath's habits and the way he treated prisoners of war, Najeshita could not accept it at all. In the end, she betrayed the empire and joined the rebels.

Later, she became the leader of the Night Raid, leading her assassins to stir up trouble in the imperial capital.

At this moment, the former general of the empire was standing beside Leone, looking at the tired Leone and asked in confusion.

"Oh, don't say anything. I didn't even get to see them before I was beaten out." Leone took the water cup handed to him by his boss, drank it in one gulp, then sighed and said depressedly.

"You haven't even met me?"

"Got beaten out?"

"what happened?"
