Lugh, Tarte, and Dia are invited to the Sanctuary where Alam Karla, the highest-ranking shrine maiden and oracle of the goddess, reveals the world-shattering truth behind the demons! And just what role does Lugh’s new questionable demon acquaintance play in all this?

An intriguing manga series that puts a unique twist on the popular isekai (another world) genre, one in which the protagonist hunts down the typical hero character.

The Assassin Meets the Hero​Lugh, Dia, and Tarte enroll in the most elite academy in the Alvanian Kingdom. On the surface, the group is there to learn how to be knights, but Lugh’s real goal is to get close to the hero he’s been tasked with eliminating. However, Lugh winds up getting more familiar with the hero than first intended, and he learns that the prophesized savior’s power comes at a steep price. Being a hero isn’t easy, and when trouble strikes, will the assassin have to save the one he’s supposed to kill?

The most dangerous prey… When the most accomplished assassin on Earth meets his end just before retirement, he finds himself standing before a goddess. Her world is headed for disaster, and she has need of his particular set of skills. Armed with powerful new abilities and decades of deadly knowledge, he begins his second life as Lugh, young scion of the Tuatha Dé clan of assassins. His mission: to find and eliminate the strongest individual in this world-the hero!

To Kill That Which Cannot Die​After his success in battle with a demon, Lugh is made a Holy Knight by the Alvanian Kingdom and tasked with slaying more of the creatures. The problem is, only the hero can actually fell demons. Such a setback isn’t going to stop the world’s greatest assassin, however, and Lugh gets to work devising a spell to kill the supposedly immortal beings. Unfortunately, the only way to test this new magic is in a real battle! Failure promises certain doom, but triumph may turn out to be just as perilous if Lugh isn’t careful...

Unexpected Allies... and Enemies​During a party in the royal capital, Lugh runs into Mina, the mysterious and flirtatious snake demon. Evidently, she’s already infiltrated human society, but not to take it over. She’s not too thrilled about seeing the Demon King revived and wishes to help Lugh prevent that from happening...or does she? Mina seems to have her hooks in many different important people: nobles, princes, and even Lugh’s friends. Will this wolf in sheep’s clothing manage to turn classmates against one another?

A wicked plot in the heart of the kingdom! Three demons have fallen, and Lugh wastes no time preparing new tools to handle the next one. Unfortunately, he’s interrupted by a conspiracy in the royal capital. It seems someone wants to frame him for murder. Whoever this cocky person is obviously doesn’t know who they’re dealing with. In the midst of this, another demon appears, and Lugh receives a visit from the goddess who sent him to this world. The discussion with her leaves him wondering if perhaps there’s more to why he was reincarnated than he first presumed...

The great assassin’s next target is…the cosmetics industry! After completing his assassination training, Lugh embarks on his last test as heir to the Tuatha Dé clan: taking on the business world. Now, he dons the identity of Illig Balor and forges a new path and connections as the illegitimate son of a tycoon. But will this final trial be enough to prepare Lugh for his most difficult assignment yet?!

Face-to-face with his target at last… Lugh took his latest mission with confidence, but when he barely manages to stop the assault on Count Viekone’s castle, he realizes something. As they are, his skills aren’t going to cut it against the hero—his true target, who’s…also going to be studying at the same academy as him?! Can Lugh use this opportunity to turn the odds in his favor…?

An impossible assassination! After Lugh’s most recent victory in his battle against the demons, he decides it’s time to take his relationships with Dia, Tarte, and Maha to the next level, proposing to all of them. The celebration is brief, however, for the Royal Knights Academy has finished rebuilding, and it’s time to return to school. Unfortunately, on Lugh’s very first day back, he’s given a new assassination target: the hierarch of Alamism. The religious leader has apparently been replaced by a demon in disguise. Lugh can’t let a monster control the world’s most powerful organization, but killing it will mean infiltrating the Holy Land, the most heavily guarded place in the kingdom. Has the assassin finally met his match?

Testing into Class S has given Lugh the perfect opportunity to get closer to his target, the hero Epona—assuming he can survive being the hero’s personal punching bag! It will take all of Lugh’s skills to look past his quarry’s monstrous strength and discover an exploitable weakness, but further complications arise as he’s secretly tasked…with protecting Epona from a potential assassin?!

An army of orcs is invading, and although the academy is doing its best to fight back, its walls are crumbling. While Dia and the others battle the main force, Lugh chases after the Hero, Epona. Can the two of them take down the demon that’s leading the monsters?

Lugh barely eked out a victory against his friend Naoise, who turned against humanity. Lugh swears to put a stop to the snake demon that orchestrated this tragedy between friends. He heads for the warfront, and crosses paths with someone he'd met in Dia's homeland. Setanta wants a rematch, but Lugh's planning an extremely long-range sniper shot.
