The mercenary's corpse lay sprawled on the ground, face up.
Viserys, having just killed two enemies who had stormed the castle, felt his blood surge, yet his mind was unusually clear.
Then, he met the gaze of the last enemy, who had rushed out from another room.
"There's one left."
The boy's pale purple eyes, like gems, blinked slightly.
The tall enemy before Viserys stared, his face a mixture of shock and bewilderment. The tension in the air was palpable.
He had thought it was just a minor incident, never imagining any danger to his companions.
He'd assumed perhaps his comrade had just been bitten by a child, but then he walked out of the room and saw this.
His companion's corpse lay sprawled on the ground, a crossbow bolt with a gently swaying fletching lodged in his forehead. His mouth was slightly agape, as if he hadn't processed what happened, and blood was steadily flowing out.
Given that the crossbow had ended up in the hands of this little thing, it wasn't hard to imagine what had become of the other companion.
No one could explain what emotions the complex expression on his face conveyed in that instant.
He never would have imagined that such a seemingly harmless boy, who looked like a frightened little rabbit, had actually killed two of the Company of Valor's best fighters in a row.
"Damn brat, I'll kill you!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the next second.
The tall man was furious.
He charged towards Viserys with his battle axe, and the boy, who no longer had a crossbow, didn't hesitate. He immediately dropped the crossbow and turned to flee once more.
This crossbow was still a bit difficult for him to handle; stringing it required a lot of strength.
And he couldn't put all his effort into stringing it while fleeing, only if he stood still with one foot braced.
But it was obvious that this fierce-looking enemy wouldn't give him that chance.
"Run first!"
Viserys didn't hesitate at all, even less inclined to fight the other party to the death, and chose to turn and flee.
However, this time Landon no longer held any sympathy or carelessness for the boy, and gave chase in large strides.
"Stop!"
In his eyes, this boy was a little devil. After all, at what age had he, who was known for his cruelty in the Company of Valor, killed his first person?
He remembered it was around twelve years old, but by then his body was already the size of an adult.
An old man tried to crawl into his mother's bed in the middle of the night, but he discovered it. He then used a stone to smash him to death, smashing him to pieces until the man was unrecognizable.
From that day on, no one in the entire village dared to bully their orphaned mother and son.
After he became an adult, his mother passed away. After burying his mother, he went out alone and joined the mercenary group. Because his methods were cruel enough to intimidate others, he was later called 'Bloodhand from Lys.'
However, the boy in front of him was far smaller than he was back then.
He looked to be only seven or eight years old, and his thin shoulders seemed as if they could be blown away by a gust of wind. But he revealed a calmness that terrified him, even more chilling than he had been back then.
Viserys threw away the crossbow because he didn't want the heavy crossbow to be a burden, and then he ran away.
This time, the man chased after him while holding up the battle axe in his hand. The muscles on his arm bulged, aimed at Viserys's back, and then he threw it hard.
He abandoned any pretense of giving the highborn boy a decent death, much less a chance to struggle or escape. Landon wanted to split Viserys in two with a flying axe.
However, the boy, who had turned and fled without hesitation, seemed to hear the wind behind him, and slightly turned his head.
"Holy shit."
Then he saw the battle axe, spinning towards him.
The boy's breath hitched slightly, and he felt his scalp tingle.
If that flying axe really hit him, his small frame would likely be cleaved in two.
Then, at this most critical moment, a complex six-pointed star array suddenly appeared in the silver-haired boy's eyes, activating the special ability he'd awakened after his lunar affinity reached 20.
"Eye of the Instant——"
Whew~
Eye of the Instant.
It was like a gentle breeze had just passed.
Everything around him seemed to quiet down in an instant, and the spinning speed of that battle axe was slowed down to the extreme in Viserys's eyes.
It was rotating slowly, tracing a path.
"Must!"
"Dodge!"
And Viserys's body felt as stiff as if it had sunk into a mire, his teeth clenched tightly.
However, even so, the boy was still moving his body with all his might, trying to dodge this spinning flying axe.
The next second.
Whew~
In the mercenary's vision, the boy who was running ahead suddenly stumbled to the side at an unexpected angle.
It was as if something had tripped him.
But it perfectly dodged the fast-spinning flying axe.
The sharp blade of the axe flew past the boy's shoulder, but didn't even graze his clothes.
Boom——
The heavy battle axe slammed into the corner wall of the corridor, making a huge noise.
However, after a slight stumble, Viserys quickly regained his footing, and cold sweat instantly rolled down his forehead.
"That was close!"
He really was almost split in two just now, fortunately activating the Eye of the Instant to dodge at the last moment.
Then, the boy gasped for breath and continued to flee forward.
"This..."
However, Landon, who was chasing Viserys, saw this scene and widened his eyes, looking as though he had seen a ghost.
"This is fucking possible?"
He couldn't believe his eyes.
He never expected Viserys to be so lucky as to have just dodged his flying axe.
However, the boy naturally wouldn't stay to explain anything, and immediately vanished around the corner of the corridor.
And the battle on Queen Leyla's side was nearing its end.
Although the mercenaries had more combat experience, they hadn't undergone much rigorous training.
The guards arrived to provide support quickly, and there were more of them. They quickly defeated the mercenaries one by one.
"Kill them!"
Bang—
Two Targaryen soldiers held up their shields, forming a wall and trapping the Company of Valor's leader in a corner. No matter how skilled the leader was, hacking and slashing left and right, they couldn't break through the shield wall.
Then, several others thrust their swords through the gaps in the shields.
Pfft pfft pfft—
A shrill scream erupted from behind a shield, and blood began to flow. The leader of the Company of Valor was stabbed to death in a corner.
"Leave one alive!"
Elsewhere.
Another mercenary was captured alive and bound.
Queen Leyla, still in her nightclothes, was trembling slightly, hiding near a wardrobe with the help of her maids.
Aside from another bout of mental distress, she was unharmed.
