The assassin realized the moment he saw the faint smile on Luca's face that he might have walked straight into a trap.
But for him, there was only one option left — kill Luca as quickly as possible.
If he could take Luca down fast enough, he could still slip back into the shadows and vanish before anyone else discovered him.
Having made up his mind in an instant, the assassin's attacks grew fiercer and deadlier than before.
He swung his venom-coated dagger relentlessly, each strike aimed directly at Luca's vital points.
However, Luca had no intention of giving him that chance.
With fluid, lightning-fast movements, he slipped past every strike, using his agility to keep just beyond the assassin's reach. At the same time, he calmly slid the Dragon-Slayer Greatsword back into his pocket.
Then, without hesitation, Luca activated the Flame Magic Runes.
