The Cold-Blooded Sword Expert
Finally finished

Leo sighed, he indeed still used an assassin robe that he used to seal off his identity. All this time, no one knew about Leo's actions that killed a murderer, not even his own slaves.

Even so, the discovery of a corpse that allegedly is a murderous corpse lately does exist. But it seems that the city itself is helped by the murder of the killers. The city also did not make this news so serious by spreading it to the public. However, the community itself slowly also knows.

“Just a little release boredom. Don't worry about me.” Leo said as if ignoring them.

Leo went to his training room. Somehow his heart was still completely muddled after reading the person's past. On the other hand, he was also still eager to kill the assassins so that there would be no more grudges for someone in the future.

Taking out a cloth, Leo closed his eyes. All this time he was trying to train in order to fight in a blindfolded condition. He, he simply did not want to see the past of a person so pitiful that it broke his heart. Merely, as long as he practiced, his ability in fighting while closing his eyes was completely below average.

Below average in the sense of Leo's own judgment. He's been trained like this before by old man Gin and he might be able to do it. Only, it was not as good as in the condition of opening his eyes.

He pulled the sword that was on his back. Put up a horse and try to practice an art of sword fighting in the empty air. He jumped, spinning in the air, spinning normally while splitting the air.

But he thinks it's very easy to do. What he needed was actually a training partner. Merely, who in this place was a sword user other than Leo?

Iris then came to Leo's training ground. For some reason, he was still curious about what Leo did so that the clothes he was wearing smelled of blood that was so stinging.

Obviously, Leo himself heard the sound of footsteps, only he did not know for sure who was coming so Leo faced the direction of the arrival of the sound of steps by raising his sword.

“Master, you must speak honestly. The latest news says there is a killer figure for the killer. Is that it, you?” Iris looked suspiciously at Leo.

Leo did not open his blindfold. It's just, he replied, “Sometimes, I need to uphold justice in my own opinion. It may be quite selfish, but if we do not kill an assassin, the chain of revenge that resulted in the birth of the murderers continues to emerge.”

“What do you think makes them a killer? Is there someone who aspires to be a murderer, Iris?” Said Leo while swinging his sword as if splitting the empty air. “Sometimes that force them. It's just, in order that it doesn't create bad circumstances for others and make others like them, it is necessary to do something like that.”

“So you mean, the killer was born to a person who lost a family as a result of being killed?” Iris asked.

Leo who heard that, he opened his blindfold. It seems that Leo realized that he was as Iris had said. It was just that, lately he had a heart-piercing taste after killing. As well, he was also different from other assassins who seemed to have no empathy and did not even hesitate to kill innocent people.

“Most like that. Like, when I kill your family, and you see it, maybe you'll be the forerunner to the killer. The circumstances that forced you like that, starting from when you wanted to take revenge on me. But, slowly you will appear a sense of sociopath after doing like that.”

Iris sighed. He thought it was a pretty stupid analogy. Who will take revenge when his parents are killed? Obviously, he will feel very happy.

Besides, Iris understood a little. It seemed that his master was talking about himself. He only finds out that his master, or in his master's past, has a past related to an assassin. Thus, his master really hated a murderer.

“Iris, can you attack me using lightning element magic?”

“For what? Obviously I don't want to hurt you.”

“Do it, I just want to train something.” Reveal Leo while closing his eyes using the cloth.

“You stupid?”

“No, just do it. It's a command.”

“What if you get hurt?”

With hesitation, Iris then extended her hand. Then, with his heart pounding, he instantly unleashed a low-level lightning element towards Leo. Even as he took it out, he slightly closed his eyes.

Leo can hear, and feel it. And he also managed to analyze the speed of the lightning element Iris had during this time. So, when the attack came, Leo immediately swung his sword so that it made the lightning element belonging to Iris split and melted in the empty air.

“Do it continuously.”

Iris, who was shocked by Leo's thrash, almost vomited blood when Leo ordered it again. Only, he could only comply with Leo's request and directly extended his hands to pull out the ball of lightning elements towards Leo repeatedly.

Leo could feel it, with the force of his hand and the swing, he continuously broke down Leo's lightning element attacks. The speed of his hand was completely as if it left a trace as he slashed through the entire attack Iris gave off.

Then, as the attack ended, Leo's hand was slightly cramped as he had to match the speed of lightning using both hands. Sighing in relief, Leo opened his blindfold slowly.

“Other times attack me like you want to kill me.” 

......

Next day.

At the bottom of the gorge, around it are several torches. Showing thousands of wild Lily flower plants. It's just that, the scene that is quite terrible is the corpses or rather the bones that are scattered just like that.

Maybe if the mayor was here alone, obviously he would definitely feel goosebumps and horror. Fortunately at the bottom of this ravine is really very crowded like the soldiers who accompany the mayor, there are also Leo and Hime, as well as some workers who will work under Leo.

“It turns out it is true that there is a lily at the bottom of this ravine.” Mayor Galen spoke up. He touched his chin and spoke so contentedly when he saw a treasure found like this. “Only, is it not a problem of these workers? they might be frightened continuously when they see these bones?”

Leo swung his hand, several bones instantly gathered into one and formed a living skeleton entity that stood before him. It's just that after that, Leo directly hit the skeleton to shreds.

“Do not worry, they are just corpses that hundreds or even thousands of years are here.” Leo said so.

“Ne-necromancer?” Mayor Galen was shocked.

Leo shook his head. “Not. I absolutely cannot make an army of undead ready to fight.”

That ability, just a technique that exists in the talent of shadow revenants. The attribute ability was after evolution by the goddess Lumina herself.

Mayor Galen just sighed. He really did not expect that the figure in front of him was not a figure that was underestimated so easily. Moreover, Leo has been at the level of 5 ‘Middle’ in recent months which makes him very amazed by the development of Leo so fast.

“So they can already work right?” Mayor asked.

“It is possible, after they brought a basket full of pollen and some sky water containers that were transported using horse carriages, the materials would be brought to the mansion to be carried by Hime. Processing into potion takes up to 48 hours aka 2 full days.” Leo explained. He could see Hime so happily teaching some workers to pick pollen.

“It seems that being an alchemist is such a troublesome job right?” Mayor smile.
