Royal Mob Takes It All

Chapter 32 - The Battle of Nina - Part 2

"Join you people, you say?"

"Yes. That's not a bad idea. After all, our band of thieves will grow in strength and become a major force in this kingdom. This is not just a wish, it's a definite fact."

"...Hmph! You're crazy. You don't know the difference between fantasy and reality, do you? Of course not!

"So negotiations are broken. It's a pity... that I have to kill a promising colleague!"

The three bandit members, who had been pretending to be hostages spread out to the left and right, and pincers attacked Nina. Yzma in front of her, has lost his presence. It is the same kind of skill as Nina's, 'Attention Blocking'.

Nina searches for Yzma's figure while flicking off several knives flying from the left and right with her kunai. The skill 'Spatial Sensing', originally used to see through dungeons and other spaces with poor visibility, can also be used to detect the presence of blocking.

"Behind you!"

Clank! It also plays Yzma's small sword, which had been sneaking up on her.

"Ohh, you saw through it! But hey, this isn't all! [Light Blade Slash!]"

"Kuh!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!!

Although not much force is put into each blow, a tremendously fast barrage of blows hits Nina. At the same time, from the left and right, other men threw knives with the skill "Touki ". It is a multi-layered wave of attacks from the front and from the left and right.

Nina was able to fight off almost all of them with the two kunai in her hands.

"Haha, oi oi oi, are you serious..."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha...! Oh, no!

"You're the first person I've ever seen with this tactic who hasn't taken that much damage."

The only damage to Nina was a single hit from Yzma that grazed her cheek. Other than that, she's as unscathed as possible.

"Hmph! You're not much of a boss for someone who's been calling himself one. It's my turn next!"

"Kukuku, how about that?"

"You can only be so bossy now...?"

With a jerk, Nina's knees snap. Suddenly, her body was hit by a heavy malaise and a high fever.

"Oh, it looks like it's working! Actually, my little sword is coated with poison, so if it grazes you, I can take away your bodily freedom, as you can see."

"What... damn it! That's not fair!

"Thank you very much, cunning is a compliment for us thieves. Now, it would be easy to kill you like this, but for the love of comradeship, I'll give you another chance."

Yzma grinned a crooked grin and bent down close to Nina.

"Come under me, female thief. I'll make you my sub-leader. The kingdom is destined for destruction soon. Wouldn't you like to live broadly in that world without order?"

"Hmph, not interested."

"...There's a saying that there's life and then there's species. Try being one of us for now. You can understand each other as peers, it'll be fun, won't it?"

"I said I'm not interested...! And don't treat me and you as colleagues...!"

"What?"

Niña's angry glare pierces Yzma.

"It's rumoured that you bandits will even kill people in order to steal...! Those who take people's lives for selfish reasons are not thieves, they are murderers! Don't compare me with you people who have strayed from the path of humanity!"
