[messenger] Did you complete the mission?
[Green Phoenix] No.
[messenger] Then why did you come back?
[Green Phoenix] I have something more important.
[messenger] What is it?
There's someone else who wants to assassinate the leader.
[messenger] Who?
Me.
How is it you're so sure that you can defeat me?
Because I know your weakness, Leader.
Without the Shadow Assassins,
I'm absolutely sure I can kill you.
Was it your plan
to make all the Shadow Assassins chase after that boy,
so you could face me alone?
[Green Phoenix] Not exactly.
But you've been waiting for this opportunity
since you first joined the alliance.
[Green Phoenix] That's right.
[water gurgles slowly]
[dramatic music playing]
[Leader] You see,
something can always go wrong at any moment.
[Green Phoenix] She's very quick. And I can't predict any of her moves.
This servant of mine usually just relays my orders.
But she happens to be faster than any of the Shadow Assassins.
[soft breathing]
[Green Phoenix] She's stalling and wasting all of my energy.
But if I attack the leader directly,
I'm not sure I can dodge her attacks.
Green Phoenix, you're very intelligent.
I wonder if you predicted this situation.
Yes, of course.
I predicted it.
So, I learned another skill over the years.
Although she's very fast, she has very weak internal force.
She can't enter this barrier.
But maintaining the barrier will constantly consume your internal force.
Do you really think you can defeat me when you're in that state?
Eighteen years ago,
there was a small Northern kingdom called Greencloud.
The Assassination Alliance infiltrated Greencloud
and killed the king and his family,
so they could steal all of its national treasures.
You executed that mission.
But you never thought
that a swordsman from a small kingdom like that could cut off one of your arms.
Yes, but I've already killed that swordsman.
He had a disciple.
Before his untimely death,
he told his disciple all about your weakness.
[Leader] I remember he didn't use double broadswords.
[Green Phoenix] I never used them before either.
[Leader] So…
You're here seeking revenge for your master.
And for my father…
the King of Greencloud.
And every one of our subjects.
