Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

"Are you not a Lupo, but a Skunk?"

Tomat didn't know what to call the Terrans who had musteloid features, so he simply used the animal's original name to determine the kingslayer's race.

As for the dagger—it was blocked directly by another hard object and never made contact with Tomat's skin.

The Kingslayer could see nothing in the thick fog except herself, but as she turned her back to Tomat and stabbed back, she had no idea what was happening behind her, but the fact that the other continued to speak meant that the assassination had failed.

It's okay, if you fail once, you can try again.

In the thick fog, the target was completely invisible.

"He is the regicide, the one who took your life."

Her nimble steps made her disappear from her spot in an instant. She slowed her pace, held her breath, kept her eyes fixed on Tomat's figure, and kept changing her position.

Tomat also turned his head, following the kingslayer's movement, keeping his eyes constantly in contact with the other's.

Then, he raised his hand, aimed the foreign object at the Kingslayer, and threw it.

The kingslayer felt himself being pushed.

However, the force seemed to pass right through her body, instead of pushing her back a considerable distance as it would normally do.

With a clang, the dagger fell to the ground, and the king-slayer's right hand hung limply.

Only after everything had happened did she feel a sharp pain in her right shoulder, as if something had pierced through it.

"But I'm not some monarch. Besides, how many monarchs has this little skunk girl killed?"

There is only one skewer for grilling meat.

This is both a blessing and a curse.

"Could it be that there are more of them than me?"

[Main Text] Dragon Gate Chronicles: Chapter Twenty-Two - The True King Killer

The true king killer:

A cosmic warrior race, physically strong, wearing simple and efficient combat uniforms, tall and powerful, skilled in head-on combat, countless kings have died at their hands, extremely ambitious, their goal is to kill the most vicious and evil cosmic tyrant, pursuing power, Saiyan aesthetics, love is all external things.

The False King Killer:

A native of Terra, physically weak, wearing a flashy functional coat full of useless fat, only capable of assassination behind the scenes, no one cares who she has defeated, blinded by hatred, surrounded by a tyrant but unable to see reality, and rumored to have a complicated relationship with some Rhodes Island special agents.

“I have killed hundreds of monarchs, emperors, and lords, but I have never used such an ostentatious name as ‘King Killer’ to refer to myself, because I just couldn’t kill that guy who called himself an emperor.”

The smoke released by the kingslayer could no longer be maintained stably due to the caster's injuries, and the unbelievable and exaggerated words struck the kingslayer's heart again and again.

"And how many did you, this young girl, kill? And you use the title of 'King Killer'?"

The kingslayer, clutching his wound, faced Tomat and never chose to turn around and flee.

I can't see what he did... No, more importantly, 'why can he see himself?'

Shouldn't I abandon my primary target W and choose to deal with this man instead?

All my questions were secondary to figuring out how to get out of here.

Should we continue using Originium Arts for concealment?

The other party is unaffected; he can still see through these disguises.

To escape at all costs?

However, an injured hand will greatly affect one's speed, and the opponent can easily get behind one's back without being noticed.

Then the only option is to kill him here.

......

That's impossible!

The intelligence indicates the opponent isn't a warlock!

What was that hidden weapon that was thrown barehanded?

Although it only caused a small wound on the shoulder, it was a penetrating wound that pierced the tendon, causing not only excruciating pain but also continuous bleeding. If left untreated, it could even lead to disability.

Tomat drew closer step by step, while the kingslayer retreated step by step.

The king-slayer on the battlefield had never faced such a situation before; she either left behind the corpses of the enemy captains and leaders and walked away, or she easily escaped unscathed from an out-of-control situation.

Being relentlessly pressured is a truly unprecedented experience.

“Tell me your employer and I might spare your life, though I can probably guess.”

Thomas continued, showing no leniency towards the assassination attempt simply because the victim appeared to be a young woman.

As for the side he "guessed" as, it was naturally the Reunion Movement.

Because only this organization and he have a valid reason to send assassins to kill him.

Moreover, by simply asking this person called the King Killer who she is, we can find out who she belongs to.

Is this stupidity or audacity?

However, they chose to identify Tomat as the biggest obstacle and prioritize dealing with him, which shows that they at least have foresight.

"You might as well just kill me."

The regicide anticipated that he would meet his end on the stage of assassination.

But she hoped her final stage would be the Ursus Emperor's palace.

Instead of dying in this deserted alley at the hands of a person who talks nonsense.

"There's no need to be so stubborn. Everyone is forced to do things they don't want to do. If it weren't for making a living, I would have torn the person who gave me the order to pieces long ago—though I don't have the power to do so."

The words that the regicide could neither understand nor believe continued.

"Nonsense, there aren't as many emperors in Terra as you claim."

She tentatively retorted, perhaps hoping to provoke the other party into giving her a quick death, but also secretly wanting to create more opportunities to escape.

However, in terms of the outcome, the Kingslayer's change of target led to the most dangerous situation for the Reunion Movement.

After all, her codename had been exposed, and she was a well-known operative in the Reunion Movement. If the investigation started from the underground network, it would inevitably lead to her. In her view, Tomat's questioning was a worthless deception.

The already precarious Reunification Movement was thus utterly destroyed.

"I never expected anyone to believe me, and your loyalty is quite unexpected. Your leader is clearly just using you as tools, and you're worried that I might wipe out the Reunion Movement, right?"

Thomas, however, saw right through her thoughts.

"you...!!"

"You know what? Ever since I failed to kill that king I was talking about, I've actually been free. At least I don't have to be as careful as before about how to kill him."

Before the king-killer could utter another word of his furious rebuke, Tomat interrupted him abruptly.

"After arriving here, I thought about living an ordinary life where I 'didn't need to kill,' 'planned how to kill,' and 'worried about how not to be killed.' I wanted to live a free life where I could eat my fill every day, and try to eliminate the influence of the past on me. In any case, I had to forget all the things I hated first."

Tomat's narrative continues, but the unease in the kingslayer's heart grows ever stronger.

She wanted to know what Thomas was up to.

"I joined Rhodes Island because I needed a temporary place to stay. In order to thank them, I will do what I should do as an operator and fulfill my duties, but I will not fawn over them by giving them all my strength to express my gratitude."

The kingslayer knew exactly what threat Tomat posed.

He dealt a heavy blow to Talulah in Chernobog Square.

The elite troops were completely wiped out at Longmen Square.

But now he says, "Not all the power."

"The people at Rhodes Island have been very kind to me. Even though they know my abilities are beyond what I'm capable of, they don't ask me to do anything beyond my duties as an operator. This is a much happier life compared to the past."

Tomat had already reached the Kingslayer.

The regicide, however, no longer retreated.

It wasn't that he was prepared to fight to the death, but rather that every cell in his body was suppressed by that indescribable aura.

The instinct to "escape" compelled her to move.

The realization that there was "no way out" prompted her to give up resistance.

“But you have been driven by an organization leader who can’t even persuade his subordinates, and it has even affected my life... So I decided to do something, not to fulfill my duties as an operator of Rhodes Island.”

Thomas pressed on the kingslayer's shoulder, seemingly trying to bring him back to consciousness from his deep-seated fear.

He addressed the king-killer, who had regained his senses, in a calm tone:

"Instead, they use their Saiyan identity and abilities to do something for themselves."

"What...what are you trying to do!?"

The pain in his shoulder disappeared, and the kingslayer was unsure whether it was because his anger masked the pain or something else.

But at least for that moment, she overcame her fear and roared at the presence before her.

"Didn't you say you didn't believe I was more deserving to be called the 'Kingslayer' than you? Indeed, words are meaningless."

Thomas released his hand from the Kingslayer's shoulder.

"So I'll prove to you that it's actually quite suitable for me."

[Main Text] Dragon Gate Chronicles: Chapter Twenty-Three - Back to Old Trades

"What...what do you mean by this?"

“I’m going to my employer’s place to take care of something, but that doesn’t mean I’ll let you off the hook.”

The regicide was bound and sat cross-legged on the sofa. Breaking free would have been easy for her, but now she could only stay in her place, daring not to speak out.

Standing behind the sofa were Penguin Logistics staff and Lappland, all staring at the Kingslayer with various expressions.

"Hey boss, how come you managed to catch an Integrator executive while just strolling through a night market?" Exusiai, skilled in intelligence, recognized the Kingslayer in front of her, even though he was disguised to blend in with the crowd. He was a guy on the Ursus wanted list.

"I don't know, I've never thought about that."

Thomas brought the Kingslayer here, naturally hoping to prevent her from escaping while he was away. The Penguin Logistics team was there to help him with this. "So I plan to make sure this kind of thing never happens again. Keep a close eye on her, and we'll decide whether to send her to the police or give her to Instructor Doberman as a souvenir when I get back."
