    Felix took a deep breath. ''Kh. Repelling them alone is already hard and I''m still upied with this thought. But I can''t do anything without it…''


    Felix waved his de, creating a circr sword strike to repel the four King ss Monsters.


    Three King ss Monsters ended up taking it head-on and got pushed back, but those three simply slowed down the expansion of the energy, allowing the fourth King ss Monster to use that opportunity to approach Felix from above.


    "!!!" Felix hurriedly raised his sword, blocking the enemy''s paw. But the strike was so powerful that itunched him back to the ground.


    "Kh." Felix gnashed his teeth whileining inwardly, ''What can I do? Even though he said to evolve, what can a man like me do? I''m just an assassin, not a…Ah!'' The instant he realized it, Felix''s field of visionpletely changed.


    It might be because he now saw everything from the ground where he could see the other battlefield that he saw something different.


    ''He never told me to evolve my strength. There was no way a smart man like him wouldn''t know how hard it is to achieve a breakthrough in strength.


    ''It must mean something else… and that was probably why he gave me the leader position in thest war. He wanted me to evolve not as a fighter, but as amander.


    ''And for themander…'' Felix became silent. It felt like the world slowed down for a while.


    He could recall a lot of memories about the previous war. He didn''t realize it at that time, but even though he had told the others that he wasn''t smart enough to lead the group, he still gave a lot of good insight like that of a leader.


    Even Agata and Rea felt a bit better after listening to his encouragement and way of thinking.


    In that instant, his field of vision became bigger. Instead of the four King ss Monsters around him, he could feel the presence of King ss Monsters on other battlefields.


    ''That''s right. Sir Leonardo must be the one guiding Ava. And what is he nning to do…'' Felix thought. He was looking around while fighting the King ss Monsters.


    Although it was hard to see it from here, he noticed the small change happening on the other side of the battlefield. Yes, it was Rea, who seemed to be doing something else.


    And it started with the Shadow King''s attack that came his way.


    ''Huh? Why did the Shadow King attack me? No, wait. Rea must be the one giving the n… No matter how hard I think, it''s impossible for me to understand what both Sir Leonardo and Rea are thinking. But what do they want from me? I might have experienced some changes with the current perspective, but I can''t do anything as amander…''


    Felix gritted his teeth. He had to think something fast before the attack came to him.


    ''No, wait. Theo only tells me to show the world that I''m his second-inmand. But he never tells me to abandon my original path.'' Felix widened his eyes in shock as if he had realized something.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    And as an assassin, Felix had taken out most of his targets without them realizing it. Meanwhile, the current four King ss Monsters around him were already aware of his attacks and presence.


    So, it was impossible for them to ambush them. In that instant, he finally understood his real target.


    A leader and an assassin… At first, he thought it was impossible tobine both. But seeing how Theo could be anything made him realize it was just foolish thinking. If he put his mind to it, he could be anything.


    With the new insight he got as a leader, his experience as an assassin showed him the real target and mission.


    ''Hahaha… that person is truly amazing. I know that I can''t be like you, but please let me stay as your most trusted man… Master.'' Felix suddenly raised his de while pouring a lot of Magic Power into it.


    "!!!" The four King ss Monsters were rmed by the sudden movement. After all, it looked like Felix was going to use something big. At the same time, there were the Shadow King''s attacks that were about to reach them. Ultimately, they jumped back to regain some distance, but they didn''t realize that was thest thing they should do.


    Now that they had given him some distance, he got the time needed. And more importantly, his line of sight became wider.


    ''There…'' Felix waved his de toward one of the King ss Monsters.


    The King ss Monster thought he was being targeted. So, he gathered the Magic Power to sh with this crescent-shaped sword strike. But right before he hit the sword strike, thetter suddenly split into a few smaller sword strikes.


    The King ss Monster was startled, thinking Felix was trying to take him out by this cheap trick. Hence, the King ss Monster immediately turned around, expecting the sword strikes to hit him from the back.


    But surprisingly, the sword strikes disappeared as if they were never there. But the King ss Monster could feel the Magic Power left behind by those sword strikes, so the monster desperately tried to find them.


    Unfortunately, the moment they realized the sword strikes, they were toote.


    The sword strikes reappeared not far from the King ss Monsters. However, they were not the ones around Felix. Instead, the targets were the King ss Monsters that chased after Leonardo.


    The King ss Monsters were supposed to hold back each human fighter. In fact, their number alone was enough to stop the human fighter from helping theirrades. That was why they didn''t expect Felix to actually try to help others.


    As a result, the sword strikes reached and cut the King ss Monsters from afar.


    Not only Leonardo but Felix was also smiling.


    ''I have made you wait, Master. I, Felix, will show the world that I''m your second-inmand.''
