A Different World That Started as a Slave

The night is coming.

In the dungeon, at night.

In this world, if it is not in special weather or in a special environment, it is basically impossible to encounter the scene of dark and windy night.

But this does not affect Reans to regard it as a night for killing.

After countless attempts and countless times of pain, Reans is finally sure to stab the sword.

As usual, first find a "lucky" patrol guard to "borrow" a long sword.

Reans came to Marvin's house with the long sword that had just drunk blood, and skillfully pried open the window to enter.

Reans walked leisurely to Marvin who was sleeping on the soft wooden bed.

After many infiltrations, Reans has become very familiar with this place.

He no longer needed to move slowly and carefully, fearing that something would wake up the sleeping Marvin.

In addition, there was a faint light provided by the [Magic Stone Light] in the house, so it was difficult for Reans to encounter any obstacles as long as he was careful.

Reans came to the bedside lightly and slashed with his sword without hesitation.

It was not until then that the constraints of the ‘slave contract’ began to take effect belatedly.

The punishment had begun, but Reans’s sword had already been swung out.

This was a loophole that Reans discovered after many attempts. For unconscious attacks that restrained the killing intent, the ‘slave contract’ would react a beat slower.

This loophole also made Reans realize that the ‘slave contract’ was ultimately just a rigid tool, without much intelligence.

If Reans was going to assassinate Marvin with the killing intent.

Then the moment before he actually swung his sword, he would be punished by the ‘slave contract’.

But as long as he did not carry the intention to attack, it would be as if he was swinging the sword casually.

Then the punishment of the ‘slave contract’ will not take effect until the long sword is about to hit Marvin.

It can be said that this unexpected discovery greatly saved Reans’ time and reduced the number of times he was tortured.

Compared with constantly raising his own pain tolerance, this method of restraining the killing intention and unconsciously attacking the target is much simpler.

After swinging the long sword, Reans only needs to hold on and not interrupt the attack trajectory because of the sudden severe pain.

And by practicing this method, Reans has further strengthened his control over the urge to kill.

There was a severe pain in the brain, Reans gritted his teeth and persisted, and his right hand still held the long sword steadily.

Many attempts have finally raised Reans’s pain tolerance.

Although he still can’t kill Marvin directly with the punishment, he can still hold on for a while and not lose his ability to move immediately.

It happened in a flash.

Just when the sharp blade of the long sword was about to touch Marvin's head, just when Reens's face, which was ferocious because of pain, began to show joy.

An accident occurred.

A thin light curtain blocked Reens's long sword.

"Is this... a magic barrier?"

Such a thought emerged in Reens' mind.

The scene at this time reminded Reens of the copy three months ago.

It was the same copy, the same night, and the same light curtain.

The difference was that the object of protection changed from the gate to a person, and Reens was the only attacker.

The long sword passed through the light curtain, missed Marvin's body, penetrated the soft mattress, and cut the bed board of the wooden bed.

"Bang"

The sound of the long sword hitting the bed board was so loud that Marvin, who was sleeping, was awakened instantly.

Marvin immediately sat up from the bed and exclaimed: "Ah?!"

Then soon Marvin saw a figure standing beside his bed with a long sword in hand.

"Who are you?"

Marvin moved his body and asked in a panic to the figure in front of him.

Because Reens was backlit, Marvin did not see his face directly.

So he did not recognize that it was his important experimental subject at the first time.

Reens did not reply, silently enduring the pain until the punishment was over.

He retracted the long sword, held the hilt with his backhand, and stabbed the tip of the sword into the ground.

Reens used the long sword to support his somewhat exhausted body, breathing heavily.

He still had something to say, so he was not in a hurry to return to the copy.

"Teacher Marvin, can you tell me where the light curtain on your body came from?"

Reens asked Marvin softly.

Although the possibility of Marvin answering this question is very small, what if it is? It doesn't hurt to try, maybe you can really get the answer.

"It's you!

Reens."

Marvin recognized Reens' voice and recognized him.

"Light curtain... You attacked me just now? You can actually attack me!"

Marvin continued, his tone changed from doubt to fear, and then to shock.

He couldn't believe that a family slave could attack him and trigger his life-saving props.

This means that Reens had launched a fatal attack on him just now.

"That's not worth mentioning. Instead, this light curtain, Teacher Marvin, can you explain it to the students? "

Riens continued to ask, with some expectation in his tone, as if he was really a student waiting for the teacher to answer his questions.

Unfortunately, Marvin did not have the mind that a teacher should have.

He did not want to chat about any topic with the murderer who could threaten his life.

Marvin ignored Reens's questions and directly launched the "slave contract".

Give Reens a death.

This is indeed a night of murder, but the target of the murder is the assassin himself.

...

"It seems that it is not as simple as I thought... Why is that old thing so difficult to kill."

After returning to the white space, Reens could not help but sigh.

"The light curtain that is the same as the gate of the training camp should be caused by a magic item on him."

"But which one is it? Will it be those rings... or something else? "

Rians muttered to himself.

Rians had noticed before that Marvin wore several rings on both hands.

However, as a member of the Glenbargen family, Marvin must be an upper-class person in Kara City.

Those rich people like to wear some expensive rings on their hands to show their status.

So Marvin's behavior of wearing rings is a very normal thing in Reans's eyes, and it is not worth paying attention to.

But who would have thought that these rings might hide magic items, or even these rings are magic items.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems normal for Marvin, an "alchemist", to have magic props.

And it is normal that one of them includes a piece of equipment to protect himself.

"Forget it, let's go into the dungeon to confirm whether those rings protect Marvin?"

"If so, it would be the best case to be able to remove the influence of those rings. If not, it would be troublesome. "

"If not, then we have to find out where the magic props on Marvin are? "

Riens said to himself with a bit of difficulty on his face.
