Chapter 111 – Episode 111 Episode 3-10
Dawn.
The basement was sitting by the window and closing its eyes.
‘Vampiric magic isn’t omnipotent. First of all, you have to get close, and even after the door, the opponent can resist with magic for a while. It’s impossible to use it during battle, and it’s impossible to use it against opponents who are wary of me. More than anything, if you defend with magic, your teeth won’t stick…’
Looking back on his vampiric magic, Jiha opened his eyes.
The liveliness of the red light district, which has always been buzzing, has recently slowed down.
It was because rumors were circulating that Knolls from outside the country would take the family hostage and kill them if they were wrong.
A strange sound came to my ears in the basement, looking at the light through the wide open window.
Wooddeuk.
There is the sound of the door being forcibly torn open, followed by the muffled footsteps.
Carefully, while struggling not to be noticed by the landlord, Ji-ha raised her hand at the sound of moving footsteps.
Match!
The sound of hand clapping that broke the silence of dawn lit up the magic lamp in the living room.
The bright light of the first-class lamp stopped the intruder who had just entered the living room.
“Hello, idiot?”
Underground greeted Carmine.
Carmine didn’t react quickly to her response to say that she had been waiting for her, and only rolled her eyes.
“Don’t be afraid, I didn’t bring anyone with me.”
“Why are you here?”
“I must have been waiting to see you?”
Underground clicked his tongue.
“But it is true. I came to see you.”
“…”
Carmine looked down at her underground with her sunken eyes.
Jiha stabbed Carmine deep inside.
“Coral is imprisoned in a prison cell, but each of his men is hiding in different parts of Warris. And since they might say something nonsense, you decided to dispose of it all.”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“After the police killed the suspect, he was actually saying that he couldn’t help it because he went on a rampage. In Wordsland, where there are no CCTVs and no human rights, it’s a story that works just fine.”
The basement had only to say.
“I did kill too many though. There were 17 people until yesterday, and no one bought one, right? Most races have prejudice against gnolls and hate them, but… Even taking that into account, it’s a problem.”
“…”
The basement laughed.
“A cub who fell in the eyes of Unique and rose to the level of Super Rare had to kill all of them because he couldn’t properly subdue even one level of Normal? You couldn’t even save a hostage?”
“It couldn’t be helped because they had magic weapons.”
“Compared to your shining record, this is a very humble achievement. It’s a series of failures. Oh, but it’s not 17, right? Because the gnolls disguised themselves as having quarreled with each other and killed each other.”
“…”
Silence prevailed.
Carmine was also raising her mana in preparation for an underpass collision.
And we both knew that.
The situation was unreasonable for a surprise attack, Carmine asked.
“What do you want to say?”
“The gnoll you tried to kill is in this house.”
“…”
“Usually common sense would have evacuated, but… Then I thought you would notice. So I locked myself in the bathroom.”
Thanks to the combination of Iroha’s information and Mayan’s tracking ability, Jiha was able to figure out where the surviving gnolls were hiding before Carmine did.
Carmine asked me with her gaze.
It is the face trying to guess what the underground was waiting for.
“Why are you trying to sort out the past? Aren’t these gnolls the ones who have shared the joys and sorrows with you?”
“It’s a new story.”
“No, you originally intended to deal with the gnolls in Warris.”
Coral feared that Carmine might try to dispose of them, so she set out to find another way to live.
It was a choice based on vague intuition, but it was the correct answer.
“Even after you take over the investigation, there is no reason to keep the Knolls alive. The plan was to deal with all of your co-workers who failed to properly maintain a Class 2 weapon, and all the gnolls who stole it and dared to kill Common, and then you were left alone.”
“Why should I?”
“Because they know you too well. As long as it reached the super rare level, he must have wanted to sort out the guys who knew his dirty side. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if they threatened you with that later?”
Carmine smiled lightly.
“Didn’t you tell me what you did, stupid play. I already did.”
“As expected.”
When Carmine became super rare, Coral got lucky to get and eat soy beans.
“Did you say that since you grew up this much with your support, shouldn’t you do something in return?”
“I chose my words more politely, but the nuances were similar.”
“You said there was no evidence to blackmail you?”
“I knew that too.”
She laughed underground.
Coral had hidden her lifeline until the end.
When his own choices were wrong, he thought to secure his own safety with that blackmail evidence when his underground died and Carmine won.
Carmine laughed at her underground.
“Did you really believe what that trash said?”
“Everyone in the world has their own use. The writer’s eye is important. A person with poor eyesight is really conceited.”
“…”
Carmine was paying attention to the presence of her family while talking.
They are wary because they want to know if they are really alone, what they believe in, and what the underground is like.
She raised both hands from the basement with her back to the wide open window.
“I have a lot of doubts. Am I alone? There is no plan for the constable to come.”
“You will be killed by the gnoll.”
Carmine said dryly.
“I became impatient to accumulate credit because I was jealous of my performance these days. I mobilized all of my personal connections to find out where Knoll was hiding, but my skills were lacking, so I was flustered and eventually died.”
“Hope is always beautiful. It’s probably because he’s a cousin, so his wishes are pretty.”
As the underground laughed, Carmine slowly drew his sword.
Underground also smiled and put his hand on his back.
“But are you okay? If there is a commotion here, people will come.”
“I’m just investigating, and you just messed around.”
“Okay? Then…”
The moment Carmine rushed at me, I kicked off the underpass chair and jumped up.
Carmine, who seemed to be rushing straight ahead, jumped in place, then put her head down and put his feet on the floor of her ceiling.
Then, using her ceiling as a springboard, she darted down into the basement.
It was an acrobatic attack that made good use of the narrow indoor space.
“This…”
As before, Jiha summoned Shadow Hand to stop Carmine’s charge.
As before, Carmine also swung a flame-wrapped sword and cut off her shadow hand.
But this time she doesn’t back down.
I swung at her underground throat with a sword of flame that became stronger than hers.
‘As expected, it’s different from before.’
Unless you’re an idiot, you can’t fight the same way in the same situation.
And Carmine, she was the one who reached the super rare rank, the strongest among the guys that the underground had fought so far.
As her basement ducked her head down to avoid it, Carmine took a quick front kick.
As the underground blew her body sideways and dodged, Carmine’s foot cracked the wall.
Even if the effect created by magical power, even if the underground strengthened its defense with magical power, it would not have been safe if it had been hit.
“Is Incubus physically strong?”
“No, it’s different from humans… No.”
Carmine, who gained the upper hand, turned around coldly. He leisurely flicked her fingers.
“Do you want to continue playing with shadows? It must have been learned from your master.”
“If it’s a wish…”
The basement stretched the shadows while replying.
When the approaching shadow of the underground, Shadow Hand, tried to snatch his foot, Carmine stabbed his sword into the ground without hesitation.
Then the shadows from the underground seemed to sway, but they couldn’t come out.
“The Dark Elves’ methods of dealing with shadows are of little use in a head-to-head confrontation. It’s a crappy ability that’s mainly used for ambush, and you can crush it with force.”
Carmine coldly writhed.
“To think an assassin would attack a knight in a head-to-head confrontation.”
“Look at the knight pride. Oh, what clan did you come from?”
“…”
Carmine did not understand the analogy of an online game.
Jiha clicked his tongue as he raised the sword wrapped in flames again.
“More than anything, it’s funny that you claim to be a knight. Of course, even medieval knights are scoundrels of blood and violence. Medieval romance and chivalrous literature could criticize the thugs for just pride in murdering and plundering righteously. …”
“…”
“But that doesn’t mean you bastard is a righteous knight. What kind of world logic is justice in slaughtering civilians? Even in Wordsland, where the rule of law is the social motto, there are few bastards like you.”
Underground has been doing this and that, but it hasn’t touched civilians it has nothing to do with.
No, this… If it was natural in Wordsland, it was natural.
Even the arrogant Enlil, he did not attack the red-light district women who mocked him without knowing who he was.
“You don’t even have the slightest cause. Massacring Aman civilians for no reason, just to disguise one’s actions, is an unforgivable crime in any world.”
“This is Wordsland. I can do it Even if this is revealed, do you think I, a super rare, will be punished?”
“No, this is Warris.”
Jiha clenched his fists and said coldly.
“This is my town. I’ll make you pay the damn price in my district now.”
“How? With that small knife?”
Carmine’s sword was the bastard sword, and the black shortsword held by the underground was in his hand.
The difference in richness is obvious.
Carmine, who even paid attention to the material of the sword, laughed.
“It’s a third-class sword. Well, since it’s common, there must have been no other choice but to get a sword like that.”
Carmine held up her own sword, wrapped in her flame.
“This sword is first class. Ashira-sama, who made me a super rare, gave it to me.”
“You want me to kill civilians with that sword and then put a knife to her throat and rape her?”
“…”
“Will Ashira really like it if she knew you were doing that? Right? Will you clap and laugh?”
Carmine’s relaxed face hardened.
“… If you don’t shut up, she will kill you.”
“Ooh, are you willing to save me if I keep quiet from now on?”
Carmine kicked the wall again and ran.
This attack, which strikes in three dimensions, is difficult for ordinary people to respond to.
In addition, the sword wrapped in flames was unstoppable, so at the point of unconditional avoidance, there was no choice but to be on the defensive.
However, Jiha grabbed the dressing table with her shadow hand and threw it.
Whoa!
As it flew, the drawer opened, and various items poured out in a dizzying manner.
It’s the Shadow Hand’s own attack. Even if Carmine took and pressed it, I had to respond to throwing things.
Carmine also swung her sword, half dumbfounded and half embarrassed.
As the sword of flame drew, the dressing table was neatly split in half.
However, the basement continued, throwing the bronze mirror and the carpet on the hanger next to it, and finally grabbed the closet.
“Ouch…”
When he thought it was too much to throw with his shadow hand, Ji-ha grabbed the closet door with his hand.
Poududeuk!
“Ahhh!!”
Gathering all her magic, the basement threw out a closet full of clothes.
But Carmine just stood still and swung his sword whenever Jiha threw household items.
Hangers, mirrors, rugs, and even the last blown wardrobe were all organized with a single stroke of the sword.
As the closet is cut, clothes rise and fall in a dizzying fashion.
Carmine, standing in the middle of it, asked coldly.
“Is the madness over now?”
“Your trouble starts now.”
Underground laughed.
It’s as calculated up to here.
