First, if the opponent's sole aim was slaughter and attack, silent assassination would undoubtedly be the most suitable choice, capable of inflicting maximum damage on us.
Moreover, based on the guards' recent descriptions, the opponent is entirely capable of executing a silent assassination, yet they didn't do so.
What's the reason?
The only reasonable explanation is that the opponent's aim isn't just for slaughter but to create chaos and induce panic among everyone.
But what's the purpose of inducing panic?
With this in mind, the opponent's objective becomes somewhat obvious—'to lure out Eldest Princess Leonore.'
So, the opponent's identity is either affiliated with the Black Fist Army or the Talin Association.
Considering all these clues, a name surfaced in Raine's mind—Nightmare Blade.
Could it be the captain of Nightmare Blade, Jora?
Although it's currently impossible to be 100% sure it's him, there's no doubt that this person is highly likely.
