Battle of Wits

Tey: "...."

Samuel: "....."

Sapphire: "well why are you so quite?"

It's been a minute and they haven't uttered a single word, was my entrance that awesome.

Ruby: "the girl is just in shock, and the assassin is just buying time so he can regain his center of gravity after that kick."

(would it kill you to say that it was because I'm awesome)

Back to reality, the assassin looks cautious, he must have realized that I'm stronger, he is a B rank, while I'm an A rank, but my abilitys are S rank due to me being a Demon Lord, and due to Honeys rough teaching.

Samuel: " A Demon Lord? you must either be stupid or crazy, I suggest you stand down this is officiall business of the temple of life."

Sapphire: " So?"

Samuel: "!!!"

What's so shocking, aren't you a pro, atleast keep your poker face on.

Samuel: " *sigh* you really are a Demon Lord aren't you? "

Sapphire: " what made you believe me now? "

Ruby: "the temple of life is a representation of the goddess, even if there was some frictions with other parties or royalty, its standard to start the conversation by saying that you mean no offense to the temple, your statement just now can be interpreted as blasphemy"

Sapphire: "well I'm not on good terms with your goddess anyway"

Samuel: " ironically this makes sense, the Demon Lord is somehow hiding himself even from the eyes of the gods, unless he is threatened he would not show himself so easily, you probably heard about the rumors about this girl's tracking ability and chose to come kill her yourself, to think that we didn't think this as a possibility was a negligent on our part."

He seems to be jumping to conclusions..

But it's making me look cool so let's go with it.

Sapphire: " while we're at it, I also know that the holy artifact your advertising is a sham as well"

Samuel: "!!!!"

Again bro your poker face...

Samuel: "to think that you even saw through our perfect plan, you really are a cunning monster, originally I thought that our meeting back there was a coincidence, but you must have been following me all the way here, you only showed yourself to me to try and size me up, I should have listened to my instinct back there."

It really was a coincidence though, off course I won't let you know that, let's mess with him a little more.

Sapphire: " You can believe what you want to believe, Mr. Samuel Ester"

I made sure to emphasize on his name.

Samuel: "!!!!!!!!!!!"

they should really give the spies of this world more poker face training.

Samuel: "So you even know my real name, not even the highest nobles know of my family's true profession, and only the Head priest of the temple of life knows this, which means you must have someone from the royal family feeding you Intel, to think that you already invaded the royal palaces network of information, how devious"

I'm really starting to feel like a super villain, no wonder they like to tell the heros all about their master plans, this is fun.

Sapphire: " tell you what, I'm in a really good mood today, so how about you leave the girl here and I let you go"

This would be a good way to let him run away without ruining my evil Demon Lord image.

Ruby: "since when you cared about your image as a Demon Lord, Mr. (Housewife)/ (Wingman)/ ( cleaning and cooking lv. 10)"

(since when are you this snarky)

Ruby: "and you wonder why I call you a chunni".

Samuel: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

What's wrong, Samuel looks like his face can fill a full page of exclamation marks?

Samuel: "TO THINK THAT YOU WOULD LEAVE ME GO AFTER SHARING ALL THAT INTEL, THEIRS NO WAY SOMEONE AS CALCULATIVE AS YOU WOULD MAKE SUCH A MISTAKE...

UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE THE KINGDOM AND THE ROYAL FAMILY IN THE PALM YOUR HAND!!!"

Is that so?

Samuel: "I CAN'T LET YOU LEAVE HERE, EVEN IF IT TOOK ME TO DIE I WILL STOP YOU"

Samuel that dashed at me with two shord daggers that he got from his sleeves.

Also he's not bad, he's still too slow to even catch me, I'm just slightly moving out of the way, while he is slashing air.

Sapphire: "this is pointless your not even worth my time, you should get going already"

Samuel: " don't think it would be that easy"

Suddenly he takes out a purple flask, and throws it on the ground between us, a purple smog engulfs us both..

This smell, is it poison?

Samuel: " *cough* *cough* what do you think of my trump card, this poison is made over 500 years ago from condensed plant girls poison, although the species is extinct the poison is still the most lethal in existence, both me and you will die here today, even if you have poison resistance it will still kill even a dragon"

Sapphire: "smells nostalgic"

Samuel: "wha..."

Sapphire: "ohhh... I ate a plant girl when I was still young, tasted horrible though"

Samuel: "Im...poss... I...bl..e..."

*thud*

He collapsed...

I hope he's okay...

Ruby: "I don't detect any vital signs, he is dead"

Sapphire: "Oh... Well...at least we saved the girl...sorry random spy at least you made me feel cool for a little while"
