Kill the Queen 70

Chapter 70 – 6. Bruhleen Sniper Battle (Complete)

Bang!

Gunshots rang out.

“…… !”

It was like a signal flare. As soon as I heard the sound, I moved to the window. Ignoring even the booby traps that I didn’t know how much was left, I showed up. Then, risking being discovered, I confirmed it with my own two eyes.

When, where and what is happening.

“Franz!”

It was a deep, dark night. It was close to impossible to identify Pia with the naked eye unless you were very bright at night. However, even in the gloomy despair, a ray of hope shone through, and I found my hope in the shadow of the first floor of Alpha Building.

“Damn, I believed…… !”

The underdog is active in the dark. The shadow of Franz knocked down the shooter who occupied the first floor with another shot. And although I shouldn’t have been able to follow the movement normally, I took stimulants and narcotic painkillers and saw it while experiencing an unprecedented activation of brain function.

Bang!

Franz fired the gun into the air. It was a sex book. The shooter on the first floor has already been defeated, but that’s it. There are still six shooters left in Alpha Dong. And somewhere on the 7th floor, Julich Renner must be holding Elisabeth hostage.

“Okay, Jamiel.”

I summoned the demon dwelling in the magic bullet. He took out the memory bullets he had obtained from Günzburg, loaded it, and aimed it at Franz. Unlike those who ate the blood and flesh of the hostages here and inflated their magic power, I became a shooter with only my mental strength.

“Let’s say something to my dear nemesis.”

So the range will be narrow. Time will be short. But that’s enough. I held my breath as I opened the window and supported Jamiel. I brought my eyes to the sight and aimed at Franz. The battle in the basement must have been quite tough, so he took a moment to catch his breath.

“The fight is not over yet…… !”

Bang! The memory round, which had its warhead removed, hit Franz, who was standing at a distance of about 300m. The guy who shared my location through memory overflow immediately looked away. I found the window where I was and looked up, and after meeting his eyes, I nodded his head.

So, let’s start slowly.

Julich and his band of violinists are no fools. They probably noticed the current shooting as well. That I, who came back from the brink of death, am once again trying to see the end of this duel!

He would have thought that if he held Elizabeth hostage, everything would be all right. If he had died, he would have thought that he had achieved his intended purpose anyway, and that there was no need to take any risks, so he would just check it slowly. That’s why I didn’t take any action on the spot where I fell.

It was a mistake. You should have cut my breath earlier. At least they had to send a gunner to check whether they were alive or dead. From the beginning, this fight was against me, but you guys were too obsessed with the form of a duel, so it became like this.

“…… Make me realize what a big mistake that was.”

Suddenly, dots appeared on the outer wall of the dark building. The number of red dots is five in all. The source, of course, is from the 2nd floor to the 7th floor of Alpha Building. It seems that there are only six of the magic bullet shooters left.

Bang! Tata Tang!

I ran, avoiding the bullets that rained one step late. Franz, who was only looking for a chance to conquer the first floor and climb up, started at the same time, and we started a diversionary operation at the risk of our lives.

This sniper battle has a tail-to-tail structure. My mission is to evade Alpha Dong’s sniping and support Franz. Franz’s mission is to take down the remaining magic bullet shooters while I’m paying attention.

So what about the guys? It would be to neutralize me, get rid of support, and kill Franz.

“Turn it off…… !”

Artur said to hide as much as possible. I wanted to, but there was no other way. Wounds that had not yet healed broke out all over the body and opened again. I didn’t feel any pain, but the feeling was strange. It seemed to be moving with a heavy piece of meat attached to it.

Bang! Tata Tang!

One hit. The bullet that passed through the hamstrings stuck to the floor. I fell to the ground and looked for cover. Luckily, I overturned the bench right next to where I fell, blocked about four or five rifle rounds, and stuck my head out of my blind spot.

Julich, you think I’m going to shoot you.

“Sigh…… !”

Too bad it’s wrong. It’s Franz, not you.

Bang! The ammunition loaded this time is also a memory ammunition. I hit it on Franz, who had just come up to the second floor. I shared the position of the gunners I checked while sticking my head out from the blind spot, and the guy who took over my sight immediately shot the shooter hiding behind the reception desk on the second floor.

“Cheuk…… !”

Another guy is dead. It was quite loud enough that I could hear the screams from here. Now there are only four shooters left.

He deliberately appeared with his wobbly left leg. Franz headed to the 3rd floor without delay, and at the same time, the remaining shooters also gave up defending the base and switched to search and fire.

“Jeongwoo ball!”

The aim points that poured from the 3rd floor to the 6th floor of Alpha Building disappeared. Franz yelled at me to share his vision. After grasping the movements of the four shooters, I fired memory bullets at them.

Bang!

The battlefield is on the 3rd floor. The shooter, who was on the 4th floor, went down the central staircase. The shooter, who was on the 5th floor, boarded the elevator that had been reserved in advance. The shooter, who was on the 6th floor, came down to the 5th floor and ran through the passageway connecting the Alpha building and the Beta building.

Then what about the 7th floor, Julihi?

…… Still silent I almost threw my crippled body and moved to the 6th floor. He recovered the grenade launcher and bullet belt he had lost in an explosion at the very place where he was mortally wounded.

“Seo Jeong-woo!”

The shooter who came across the passage on the 5th floor of Alpha Building approached me. I loaded the grenade launcher I had set down on the floor and threw it at the stairs he was climbing. He then pointed the gun at him and fired it.

Pop!

A loud roar reverberated through the 6th floor of Beta Building, as if a firecracker had been set off. The loaded grenades were absorption bullets that offset magic. The unknown magic bullet shooter sensed the flow of magical energy that had changed in that short period of time and replaced the bullet in his gun with another.

“Late…… !”

That little gap was exactly what I was aiming for. Hiding at the entrance of the stairs, as soon as I heard the sound, I threw myself and attacked him. He suffered bruises here and there while rolling randomly on the stairs, and went straight down to the 5th floor to engage in a hand-to-hand combat.

“Ouch, this damn thing…… !”

I couldn’t even give him a chance to reload. I clamped his neck and hit him in the middle.

“Die…… !”

Puck, Puck! A bloody skirmish ensued. The shooter struggled here and there and hit my side, where the blood was flowing. And when I still didn’t budge, I put his finger in and tore it all the way up.

“Kuheugh…… !”

Still felt no pain. However, the blood flowed so fast that I couldn’t even speak, and with just a glance, I could see the intestines inside. It was such a miserable condition.

“Kkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeuk … !”

I had to see the end. I grabbed the guy’s shoulder with the hand that had hit the philtrum. After taking his teeth, he bit his neck like a beast. It bit the skin and severed all the blood vessels inside it!

Took.

The shooter’s arm sagged. It had stopped breathing. I rummaged through the ammo belt he was wearing and took out all the regenerating bullets. I loaded it before I had time to take another action. It took nine feet to fill the gap in the side.

I feel like I’m becoming a monster.

―I don’t know who you’re thinking of, but if it’s a gloomy memory, forget it.

But couldn’t stop.

– From now on, I will be by your side.

Elizabeth’s face shimmered in front of me. I endured the dizziness caused by anemia and made up my mind. I searched the arms of the gunner who had died under me, and unexpectedly found a radio that was intact and activated it.

“…… Julich Renner?”

“What about Ruprecht?”

“If that’s the guy you sent, he’s dead.”

Before he could finish his words, a gunshot rang out from the top of the stairs. There were also explosions one after another. It must have been that he shot where I assumed was where I was.

“Have you given up on the duel or what?”

I kicked Ruprecht’s corpse and crawled on the floor. I couldn’t get up on my own, so I had to find a suitable cover and set it up to take care of Franz’s safety.

“If I was going to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago.”

“If so, did you have other intentions?”

“Just as you helped your teammates, I just helped mine.”

Julich fired the magic bullet a couple more times. This time it was at the top of the stairs. Explosive bullets that hit the 6th floor of the Beta Building started a fierce fire. It was impossible not to catch fire because it fired three times in tandem, and only then did I realize what its purpose was.

Unlike sniper battles in hiding, simple ignorant assaults require lighting. Julich brought light to the three gunners under my command. Because Franz is a secret agent, an operative active in the dark. Because he has a numerical advantage without having to do that kind of calculation!

“Come, then let’s see who helps better!”

The bosses stick together, and the subordinates stick together. I used Ruprecht’s rifle, which I had prepared in advance, as a crutch. He picked up grenade launchers and absorber bombs scattered around the area and made the 5th floor a safe zone for magic bullets.

Then I walked to the bench set up in the hallway and covered myself. While the effect of the absorption bullets lasted, it would be useless to shoot magic bullets, and sniping was also safe because it was in a perfect blind spot through cover. Julich can’t target me, but I can pose a threat to him or his subordinates.

Bang! Tattang!

Franz was on the central staircase on the third floor. The cover was the same bench I used. Two gunners were on the opposite side, and the other was just about to emerge from the elevator behind them. It was a real crisis.

Bang!

I suppressed my pounding heart and shot him. The guy with a hole in his forehead fell down and opened and closed the elevator door. It was terrifying to see him die with his eyes open. Unlike the knife, the tactile sensation was not transmitted, but it was.

“Did you intend to keep avoiding my sniping with just that piece of wood?”

“…… !”

Papababak! The moment the walkie-talkie rang, the chair shattered. As soon as he heard that, he lowered his head, and if it hadn’t been for the damn thing, he would have died instantly. Even now, blood was flowing from the bullet that had grazed the back of his head.

“Iron-piercing bullets…… !”

It was the same bullet that was used to shoot Otto at the Bernhardt National Theater. He was careless saying that there was no magic bullet, but it was a big mistake. Unlike other shooters, Jullich Renner was thoroughly prepared. It was absolutely impossible to support Franz while leaving him alone.

“Originally, the term magic bullet shooter meant only me!”

Damn it, it’s the worst.

Excluding the real magic bullet shooter on the 7th floor, that is the case. The guys fighting fiercely on the third floor, the two violinists of the black orchestra, were all experts.

You wouldn’t know if you were supporting from the side like before or if Franz aimed the gun first. However, in a head-to-head confrontation like now, we were at an overwhelming disadvantage. In terms of sniping, it’s a quick-fire battle that only takes a little longer to prepare.

“Struggling as hard as you can, Seo Jeong-woo!”

“Kuh…… !”

A steel bullet is aiming for my life. Due to the structure of the hallway, one side of which is made of glass, it is unreasonable to endure without cover. Of course, I was at a disadvantage with the height of the 5th and 7th floors, so I used it as a shield when I found the body of Ruprecht who had been kicked earlier.

“Yeah, you were such a mean person originally.”

Papababak! Ruprecht’s body shook. Although he was a relatively fat guy, the bullet went through his body. Still, under the conviction that it is better than nothing, I quietly chanted an incantation under the corpse.

“Wind, dwell…… !”

I only blew air into my left leg.

“Wind, dwell…… !”

Didn’t need long. Just a few minutes was enough. So, as long as my magic power allows, I let the wind dwell in my body. Thus, he was able to walk on his own two feet without using Ruprecht’s gun as a crutch, and was able to run again, only with difficulty controlling it.

「A modest 2-item magic, magic bullets stolen from us, subordinates using the background of the queen.」

Papababak! A bullet passed through his left shoulder. There was no pain, but the shock was great. I collapsed again rolling on the floor and got up without resting for a moment. I got up like a tumbleweed and avoided the continuous conversation.

“Unlike us who went through all her hardships, all you did was fawn over the villainess.”

Julich was playing with me cornered. With my sniper skills, I could have killed me instantly, but I didn’t. It just made them roll, roll, roll, and roll again without a break. It’s like a little squirrel spinning on a treadmill.

“Hold your gun!”

It was humiliating. Before that, his mental strength was at its limit. It was so hard to somehow find a way out without losing my breath right away. But I can’t give up either. I had a mission to save Elizabeth.

“Fight against me!”

I didn’t want anyone to die anymore.

“Just like you did to my comrades-in-arms, I mean make fun of your mouth!”

It was the last. I finally squeezed out all my remaining strength. I took only two bullets from the bullet belt I was wearing, the Günzburg magic bullet. Then he rolled it up and threw it out the window with all his might.

“Aaah…… !”

It was a fleeting moment. Jamiel’s barrel glowed red. One of the two bullets he had prepared was an explosive. Julich must have fixed himself somewhere by the window to shoot me. I was aiming for just that.

“Flame, burn!”

The magic bullets imbued with fire exploded. The belts of ammunition flying in the air were accurately matched, and the belts of magic bullets loaded with gunpowder and magical power at the same time created such a formidable mushroom cloud.

Boom! Kwagwagwang!

There was no distinction between alpha-dong and beta-dong. All hospital windows were shattered spectacularly. The explosion hit anyone out in the hallway. I was no exception either. Like burning raw flesh over a hot fire, gunpowder and magical fires clung to my body.

“Kkeukreuk, krukkeukreuk…… !”

I couldn’t breathe. I will earn in front of my eyes I rolled over the floor full of broken windows while my whole body was on fire. There were scratches here and there and some fragments even went into the torn side, but it didn’t matter.

After I managed to turn off the light, I stood up against the wall. I clenched my fists with my palms tucked in, so I took the ammunition. I quickly put it into Jamiel’s magazine and loaded it. I looked all over the 7th floor with my gun up.

Bang! Tattang!

Around that time, the match was decided in the battleground on the 3rd floor of Alpha Building. Franz, who had brought this unfavorable fight to a draw, was sprawled on the floor. I was able to kill them in the aftermath of the explosion I caused, but it seemed that I was also seriously injured.

“…… Good work, Franz.”

I looked at it for a moment, and it was my thigh. It looked like an artery had ruptured. Maybe it’s hard to survive any longer. But he raised his fist towards the 5th floor where I am. It was okay, so it was a signal that we must win. I put his sacrifice on my shoulders and prepared to snip.

In the aftermath of the explosion, the outer wall, which was on fire, lit up the view. Injuries that have reached the critical point are anemia due to bleeding. Tremors due to pain. It disturbed me with an uneven pulse.

“Are you listening, Julich?”

I spoke to the walkie-talkie attached to my body. There was silence for the first few moments, but that was it. The guy who had fallen out of the window didn’t have time to turn off the radio, and thanks to that, I could hear all his moans and movements in my ears.

“Let’s put an end to it.”

“…….」

“To this damn duel.”

It’s a fight that started with sniping. Wouldn’t it be neat to end it with a sniper?

I paid close attention to the location where he had been before. The guy is probably also paying attention to where I was.

“I will count to three. Show up.”

So that each other can shoot each other whenever they put their heads together.

“I’ll give you the match the way you wanted so much.”

“…… Great.”

Finally, Julihi appeared. It was at the end of the 7th floor of Alpha Building. We looked at each other with our rifles out the window. The radio’s communication was completely open, and it was set aside, away from the body.

To prepare for the conversation.

It was a ridiculous match. Two people who set a signal and keep it in a fight where the first to shoot wins. But I was on the 5th floor and he was on the 7th floor. If the guy who fell out of the window blindly hid and endured, I was more at a disadvantage because I couldn’t handle the injury.

I had to drag him out. And it just needed time to aim. Like a duel according to old manners, there was no other way for me, and he was ready to respond.

“Are you ready?”

“Count to three.”

The gun was firmly fixed on the shoulder. His left hand was pierced through the shoulder and had no strength. So I put the trigger on the fixed rifle with only my right hand.

“Three.”

Yulihi countered.

“Two.”

Again I counted one.

“One.”

And right after.

“…….”

Time was stretched out

“…….」

I aimed precisely at Julich and tried to pull the trigger. The guy had to do that too. But for some reason, right after counting one, we couldn’t trigger the bullet. No one shot first.

It was a strange thing.

I thought it would not last long, but the first minute passed just like that. As we promised to shoot after counting three, we should have already killed one or the other, but we couldn’t.

“Seo Jeong-woo.”

From the radio, Julich’s tired voice flowed.

“Why didn’t you shoot?”

“Why are you like that?”

“…….」

Silence ensued again. As if it had been promised, another minute passed. It was only after that that Julich opened his mouth.

“Damn it, seriousness like this just doesn’t suit my personality.”

That was the signal Finally, the guy pulled the trigger.

Bang! With a sound, the bullet grazed my earlobe.

Now, on the count of three, strictly speaking, he hadn’t broken his promise. But we had an unspoken agreement that neither side would fire first, and his actions came as a betrayal. So I reflexively pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The guy didn’t escape. Even though I had two seconds to spare before the bullet exploded. As an aside, those two seconds were the time it took for my gun to move from between his eyebrows to his chest. We resent each other like that to death, and when the time came, we hesitated.

“Chehe…… !”

Yulihi, who grabbed his chest, collapsed. He was in no position to die instantly. Although he aimed for his chest, he didn’t hit the vitals. Because there are so many things I want to ask.

I used Zamiel as a crutch and put her on her feet. After passing through the central aisle on the 5th floor connecting Alpha Building and Beta Building, I struggled up the stairs.

After that day when I was wrecked in Saxony, I thought I couldn’t get my body more broken than that. But the world doesn’t know the future.

He moved his body up to the 7th floor of Alpha Building and laughed. There was no way I could stop laughing, perhaps because my mind wouldn’t be able to hold on if I didn’t.

We finally reached the 7th floor of Alpha Building.

I saw Julich who had fallen in front of me. His gun was out of his hand, and sprawled out didn’t seem dangerous. If he had intended to kill him, he would have killed him long ago. Because I had a chance to do that a hundred times more.

“Why, cool…….”

The elf-like eared guy noticed my whereabouts and looked at me. I don’t know if his body didn’t have enough strength, or if he couldn’t even raise his head because he was exhausted, but he asked me as he coughed up blood in his outstretched posture.

“Why did you kill his father…….”

“Rolfe rebelled against me.”

“As expected, it was the work of the orchestra…….”

“We had to knock him out. But that’s not all. There were also personal grudges.”

I moved closer so he could see my face more easily. I didn’t think I would never get up again if I sat down even once, but I lowered my head from the seat he stretched out and made eye contact with him.

“You were also responsible. I can’t believe it…….”

“Believe.”

“…… !”

“I guess, that kind of responsibility…….”

Julich continued to vomit handfuls of blood. His breath was wheezing, and his complexion turned blue, indicating that death was imminent.

“Why didn’t you kill me?”

“Huh, because I did…….”

“I know, eagle owl…….”

It was a very strange feeling. In a quiet hallway, communicating with the person who shared the intent to kill just a few minutes ago.

I felt sorry for Julich Renner’s dying life. Realizing that fact belatedly, I was surprised, but not disgusted.

“Rolf Renner, our boss…….”

Julich sighed and added.

“I know that man is a bastard…….”

I couldn’t say anything. I couldn’t even take action. Considering what happened at the National Theater, I wouldn’t mind twisting his neck here and now, but every word he said was sincere, and it shook my heart again.

“Perhaps he was ashamed of his son, he didn’t even let him call him father outside…….”

My deceased father was always ashamed of me. On the outside, he made me act a close friend and rich man, but on the inside, he teased me with all sorts of faults.

“Damn, I just couldn’t understand…….”

Julich Renner shed tears.

“Because my brother died so unexpectedly…….”

“I heard you were a soldier.”

“It must be so known…….”

He pointed at the gun I was holding with a trembling hand.

“Our shooters carried on their backs the dreams their parents couldn’t fulfill. As the son of a defeated royalist, I had to flatter your lover somehow…….”

Magic bullets are snipers armed with forbidden weapons. They gained their magical powers by eating the flesh and blood of the dead. And after hearing that fact and the words Julich uttered, I came to a certain frightening conclusion.

“My brother was the first test subject…….”

I picked up the gun he pointed at. The gun had the same name as the one I was holding, Jamiel, written in Bernhard letters. The difference is that the crooked letter Lars is engraved next to it.

“The magic bullet shooter, Lars Renner…….”

Originally, the magician’s shooter was said to refer only to Julihi Renner himself. However, the word Lars was written on this gun. In addition, the name was his brother’s name, and also the first experimental body.

…… Of what?

“My father was a bitter Restorationist…….”

I knew. It was a fact I had heard from Beatrix ever since I met my end and returned from that same author.

“I was trying to somehow reestablish the kingdom, trying to catch Beatrix’s eyes…….”

Yulihi groaned with difficulty.

“Forcing his older brother to commit himself to the experiment, and urging his mother to die instead…….”

Looking back, it seemed like it was because of such absurd tenacity. Hagi even rated it as fun enough that even the queen knew about it and condoned it.

“My father is a bastard, a very bastard…….”

He was right. Rolf Renner was an asshole. It was even more so when he combined the newly learned facts. As a high-ranking official of the kingdom, he was a member of the royal party, and since he was defeated in the civil war, he has been searching for his life. Even sacrificing my wife and eldest son to restore the monarchy.

“But, he’s my father…… !”

I sympathized with him. Considering what I’ve done with him so far, I shouldn’t have done that.

“No matter how much I hate you, damn it…….”

“…… Yes, because they are blood relatives.”

I sympathized with him.

“It’s fine no matter what you rate it. Because I had no choice but to avenge my father. Because I had no choice but to avenge my family…….”

“So you insisted on a duel?”

“The other guys agreed…….”

“Why was it a duel?”

“I’ve been carrying out cowardly massacres as the devil’s shooter all my life. I wanted to do it proudly as much as I risked my life for revenge. All together…….”

It was a moment when everything made sense. I didn’t respond and only made eye contact with Jullich. I came here even after wasting my body. I promised myself that if I spoke nonsense, I would strangle her to death.

I couldn’t.

It might have been Rolf Renner, but it wasn’t Julich Renner. Killing Adele with a grin was as vivid as if it had happened yesterday, but it overlapped with the present, causing regret.

“There was no room for conversation…… ?”

I sat down in front of him. I thought I wouldn’t get up again, so I tried not to, but I just couldn’t bear to stand up.

“The answer will be replaced with this.”

I took the memory bullets out of the guy’s belt and loaded them into Jamiel. I didn’t think I would be able to reach the memory I wanted with one shot, so I took all the bullets. Then bang, bang, bang, bang…….

“…… !”

Julich’s eyes widened. He felt the memories flooding around him and shuddered. He indirectly experienced everything from the moment I rebelled against Beatrix in my first life to the present.

Impersonating an eagle owl and moving Otto.

The incident of being caught by Beatrix and confronting the judge.

Then, what happened to them at the National Theater in reverse.

A miracle that revives again.

A deal made with the Queen on March 13, 1942 that went back like that.

A night of shameless sex.

Elizabeth’s consolation, which was like salvation in the abyss.

The moment when I had to push her away even though I loved her.

Saxony blood fight.

The day I made Feininger and his intelligence department my own.

Seven days to tame Adele.

A reunion with the confidant who was thought to be dead.

And here again.

“Cu-cu, cu-cu, cu-cu…” ….”

Yulihi laughed. He laughed out loud, not caring that his blood was pouring out like a fountain.

It looked disappointing. Well, I did just that. Because I lost even the person I would resent. The fact that the cause of this bloody struggle was the fault of me and my father.

“Your lover, cool…….”

Julich pointed to a nearby hospital room. As if he didn’t even have the strength left to finish his words from the laughter he had just made, he chanted in a trembling voice with hemoptysis.

“Watch out Mrs. Shadow…….”

That was my last will. The last shooter died just like that. I felt ugly, so I closed my eyes and stood up from my seat. It was to check on Elizabeth’s safety.

Limp, limp again.

Every step I took seemed like a thousand pounds. It was like a million again. Still, her gear pulled into her hospital room, where she was. Not a single light was on, so the dark room was well lit by the moonlight filtering in from the window on the other side. After I opened the door and entered, the fire on the outer wall lit up the inside like a light, making it even brighter.

“Elizabeth, I’m here…….”

I approached her who was sound asleep on her bed. I felt like I was about to collapse, but I persevered and endured it. So he sat down on the spot where she lay, and after holding her hand, kissed the back of her hand.

There was a lot I wanted to say, but my mouth wouldn’t come out. I have fought so desperately to get here. His skin almost melted from burns all over his body, and his intestines could be seen dangling from his torn side.

His face was disfigured with fractures and bruises. Now, he has become a complete monster. Even though I was proud that I had a pretty face to look at.

“Right now, I just want to rest…….”

I cried and held my hand tightly. Due to multiple injuries, the effect of the drug was ending earlier than expected. The pain was unbearable, and I wanted to scream and make a fuss, but I couldn’t even do that.

Because my beloved lover was sleeping soundly here. She was breathing lightly and resting with her respirator on.

“…… The Prince of the East?”

Yeah, that’s why I didn’t scream despite the belated presence. At first, it was because he wondered how Franz, who had managed to get the situation right, was coming here.

But that wasn’t it.

I quietly turned around and checked the face of the uninvited guest standing in the doorway.

“You…… !”

The uninvited guest was a man I will never forget. He was a man who was not now, but was destined to meet in the near future. He was once a comrade with whom I shared a spirit and tipped a glass.

“It’s quite the way. I wondered if he would die on the way, but to say he wiped it all out.”

Sharp eyes like a wolf and a long sword worn on the waist!

There is no element that points to a more certain identity than this in the old kingdom of Bernhard. Because it was a characteristic that only the two of them had. Because it was the impression that it meant only one person until now!

“I had a hard time getting here. I don’t know what he did, but the radiance ran like crazy.”

“Elfriede? Did you knock it down?”

“It was pretty intense for a warm-up. You must be having a hard time regenerating your body by now.”

Looking back, I had completely forgotten about it. There’s no way that crazy brilliance would fall out in just a few shots. At first, I was worried that I would recover quickly and catch up, but as the fierce battle continued, I completely forgot about it. Because I had no clue.

But that wasn’t it. He didn’t stay quiet, he was fighting you.

“Why?”

“Because I received a request.”

“Who is this request from?”

“It’s a vampire.”

The great leader of Saxony, Gisele Schneider! Her name flashed through my mind like her lightning bolt.

“Anyway, it bothers me to cut a kite who would die if left alone.”

“You mean he sent me to kill you?”

“Even the woman lying there is the same. He asked me to tell him some words.”

“…… What?”

The uninvited guest shrugged her shoulders. His humorous attitude was full of hidden life.

“Don’t worry, I sent you first.”

“…… Who?”

“Otto Moritz. Anton Feininger. And Adele Schneider.”

I clenched both of my fists. I finally realized who the opponent who stood in my way was. And he couldn’t contain his anger.

“Giselle, you damn bitch…… !”

Because her message said it all.

“Yes, when you scream like that, tell me this too.”

“…… ?”

“The real game is your loss.”

It became dark before my eyes. The uninvited guest, whether or not he knew how I felt, put his hand on my broken belt. Looking at it, it looked like it would come to an end soon.

“This is the end of being a postman, are you ready?”

“Don’t touch the woman.”

“The bituminous department does not accept. It’s a pity, but we both have to die here.”

“Carl Wolf!”

The uninvited guest, the wolf’s brother, widened his eyes.

“Do you know me?”

Vice-captain of the Millennium Wolf Knights. The younger brother of Erich Wolf, a wolf who was once said to have the same swordsmanship skills as Beatrix. And the traitor who helped ruin the kingdom by stabbing his brother.

“The woman lying there is your junior! Elizabeth of the Mittemeyer family! One of your brother’s favorite articles! So don’t touch me, I’m done with one…… !”

Karl Wolf is a clear-cut strongman.

“That’s right. Somehow, I thought that being tall like the old man was familiar.”

To the extent that Leona Schultz, the third great eagle owl of the Black Orchestra, and former pupil of the Führer, took it in herself.

“If you still have pride as a wolf, let her live.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can.”

“Don’t do anything you’ll regret, you know my life is enough!”

“All I can promise is that I’ll send you off in peace.”

There was no other way. I looked at the comrades with whom I had risen in my first life. It was friendship and bond that regenerated him who had fallen and escaped from being plagued by sin. But now it was a situation where neither side could stand up.

So, you have to fight.

“Okay, raise your sword…… !”

“You mean you’re going to stand up to me with that body?”

Carol sighed. It was because my body, which was like a living corpse, was in a defiant posture. Moreover, while he was armed with a sword, I was bare-handed.

“I heard you look down on me because I can defy death.”

“…… !”

“As expected, Mrs. Shadow said.”

My heart was pounding. Taken aback, I showed an opening. And the wolf did not miss that moment and stuck his fangs into it. He thrust a knife into his side, where his internal organs were clearly visible, and slashed his brain.

“It’s over, perfectionist. It seems that his memory has returned, but his luck with Daejin wasn’t good.”

“How…….”

“This is just as unfortunate. I expected it because I fought hard against the three members of the Iron Cross.”

“How, my secret…… !”

“You will find out in the next life. It won’t be long before that either.”

The mind fades I’ve lost too much blood But I can’t fall here. There is still work to be done. I have to live I have to live and protect someone who is more precious than my own life. Her life, which she had to protect even more strictly than the secret of this return!

“Then goodbye.”

“Do not be ridiculous!”

Not like that. I broke the sword stuck in my body with my elbow and stepped back. Without even feeling the pain, he pulled out a blade from his stomach and attacked Carol using it as a weapon while holding it.

“You fool, what are you going to do with that body?”

A little faster, a little stronger!

“…… !”

Think of all the strong people you can think of. Practice all techniques that can be practiced.

Otto Moritz’s dragon power, Leona Schulz’s stride, Elisabeth Mittemeyer’s gesture, Karl Wolf’s theft, Gisele Schneider’s vengeful spirit, Elfriede Eichmann’s madness, the will of the ghosts, Julich Renner’s tenacity, and Beatrix Adler’s strength. !

“Carl Wolf!”

“I see, it’s quite…… !”

Fierce resistance made him backtrack. It was a wonderful miracle.

“I won’t lose anymore, I won’t lose!”

“But that’s it.”

Of course, it was only a temporary measure. Before long, the wolf, reading my movements, gradually reduced its retreat and counterattacked. However, the moment I moved the stage from the hospital room to the hallway, my goal was already accomplished.

“No! I will protect it even by burning my soul and body!”

The left arm was cut off. The blade, which had been gripped with his bones as support as it cut his skin, flew through the air. And at that moment, I moved on the neck and bit it with my teeth. Even as his lips and tongue were being cut, he bounced his head with force until his teeth were crushed.

Just like that, I ended up driving the tip of the knife into the guy’s thigh.

“This guy…… !”

It was a moment of moments. I let go of the wolf, which hesitated for a moment, then fell back and hugged Elisabeth who was lying on the bed at once.

He roughly tore off his respirator and intravenous drip, hugged him along with the blanket he was covering, and rushed to the window where the moonlight hung.

Wow Jangchang!

Time was stretched out Around that time, Elisabeth slowly opened her eyes, perhaps because of the sudden pain. The gauze covering the face was blown away by the wind, so that hideous face was exposed…….

It didn’t matter.

“I’m sorry for lying to you, Elizabeth.”

She was still beautiful

“Jeong Woo…… ?”

Floating in the air was only for a moment, and I, who had to lessen the shock of falling from the 7th floor, hugged Elizabeth with one arm. He wrapped himself up to lessen the shock that was about to come and left his last will.

“I love you.”

Because of you, I realized that I am a person with a warm heart again. I’m sorry I turned down your offer to run away with you. I still regret that I turned away from such a sincere confession.

This loss will surely leave you with a big scar that cannot be erased. But know this one thing. I valued your comfort more than my humble life. I never wanted to lose someone as powerless as my dead wife and daughter again.

So please.

“You must survive.”

Must survive

“I salute the people of Bernhardt early this morning. This is Hildegard, the morning contemplation time that I visit every day at 8:00 am.”

Next time I will definitely protect you!

Kill the Queen 70

Kill the Queen 70

Chapter 70 - 6. Bruhleen Sniper Battle (Complete)



Bang!


Gunshots rang out.


"...... !"


It was like a signal flare. As soon as I heard the sound, I moved to the window. Ignoring even the booby traps that I didn't know how much was left, I showed up. Then, risking being discovered, I confirmed it with my own two eyes.


When, where and what is happening.


"Franz!"


It was a deep, dark night. It was close to impossible to identify Pia with the naked eye unless you were very bright at night. However, even in the gloomy despair, a ray of hope shone through, and I found my hope in the shadow of the first floor of Alpha Building.


"Damn, I believed...... !"


The underdog is active in the dark. The shadow of Franz knocked down the shooter who occupied the first floor with another shot. And although I shouldn't have been able to follow the movement normally, I took stimulants and narcotic painkillers and saw it while experiencing an unprecedented activation of brain function.


Bang!


Franz fired the gun into the air. It was a sex book. The shooter on the first floor has already been defeated, but that's it. There are still six shooters left in Alpha Dong. And somewhere on the 7th floor, Julich Renner must be holding Elisabeth hostage.


"Okay, Jamiel."


I summoned the demon dwelling in the magic bullet. He took out the memory bullets he had obtained from Günzburg, loaded it, and aimed it at Franz. Unlike those who ate the blood and flesh of the hostages here and inflated their magic power, I became a shooter with only my mental strength.


"Let's say something to my dear nemesis."


So the range will be narrow. Time will be short. But that's enough. I held my breath as I opened the window and supported Jamiel. I brought my eyes to the sight and aimed at Franz. The battle in the basement must have been quite tough, so he took a moment to catch his breath.


"The fight is not over yet...... !"


Bang! The memory round, which had its warhead removed, hit Franz, who was standing at a distance of about 300m. The guy who shared my location through memory overflow immediately looked away. I found the window where I was and looked up, and after meeting his eyes, I nodded his head.


So, let's start slowly.


Julich and his band of violinists are no fools. They probably noticed the current shooting as well. That I, who came back from the brink of death, am once again trying to see the end of this duel!


He would have thought that if he held Elizabeth hostage, everything would be all right. If he had died, he would have thought that he had achieved his intended purpose anyway, and that there was no need to take any risks, so he would just check it slowly. That's why I didn't take any action on the spot where I fell.


It was a mistake. You should have cut my breath earlier. At least they had to send a gunner to check whether they were alive or dead. From the beginning, this fight was against me, but you guys were too obsessed with the form of a duel, so it became like this.


"...... Make me realize what a big mistake that was."


Suddenly, dots appeared on the outer wall of the dark building. The number of red dots is five in all. The source, of course, is from the 2nd floor to the 7th floor of Alpha Building. It seems that there are only six of the magic bullet shooters left.


Bang! Tata Tang!


I ran, avoiding the bullets that rained one step late. Franz, who was only looking for a chance to conquer the first floor and climb up, started at the same time, and we started a diversionary operation at the risk of our lives.


This sniper battle has a tail-to-tail structure. My mission is to evade Alpha Dong's sniping and support Franz. Franz's mission is to take down the remaining magic bullet shooters while I'm paying attention.


So what about the guys? It would be to neutralize me, get rid of support, and kill Franz.


"Turn it off...... !"


Artur said to hide as much as possible. I wanted to, but there was no other way. Wounds that had not yet healed broke out all over the body and opened again. I didn't feel any pain, but the feeling was strange. It seemed to be moving with a heavy piece of meat attached to it.


Bang! Tata Tang!


One hit. The bullet that passed through the hamstrings stuck to the floor. I fell to the ground and looked for cover. Luckily, I overturned the bench right next to where I fell, blocked about four or five rifle rounds, and stuck my head out of my blind spot.


Julich, you think I'm going to shoot you.


"Sigh...... !"


Too bad it's wrong. It's Franz, not you.


Bang! The ammunition loaded this time is also a memory ammunition. I hit it on Franz, who had just come up to the second floor. I shared the position of the gunners I checked while sticking my head out from the blind spot, and the guy who took over my sight immediately shot the shooter hiding behind the reception desk on the second floor.


"Cheuk...... !"


Another guy is dead. It was quite loud enough that I could hear the screams from here. Now there are only four shooters left.


He deliberately appeared with his wobbly left leg. Franz headed to the 3rd floor without delay, and at the same time, the remaining shooters also gave up defending the base and switched to search and fire.


"Jeongwoo ball!"


The aim points that poured from the 3rd floor to the 6th floor of Alpha Building disappeared. Franz yelled at me to share his vision. After grasping the movements of the four shooters, I fired memory bullets at them.


Bang!


The battlefield is on the 3rd floor. The shooter, who was on the 4th floor, went down the central staircase. The shooter, who was on the 5th floor, boarded the elevator that had been reserved in advance. The shooter, who was on the 6th floor, came down to the 5th floor and ran through the passageway connecting the Alpha building and the Beta building.


Then what about the 7th floor, Julihi?


...... Still silent I almost threw my crippled body and moved to the 6th floor. He recovered the grenade launcher and bullet belt he had lost in an explosion at the very place where he was mortally wounded.


"Seo Jeong-woo!"


The shooter who came across the passage on the 5th floor of Alpha Building approached me. I loaded the grenade launcher I had set down on the floor and threw it at the stairs he was climbing. He then pointed the gun at him and fired it.


Pop!


A loud roar reverberated through the 6th floor of Beta Building, as if a firecracker had been set off. The loaded grenades were absorption bullets that offset magic. The unknown magic bullet shooter sensed the flow of magical energy that had changed in that short period of time and replaced the bullet in his gun with another.


"Late...... !"


That little gap was exactly what I was aiming for. Hiding at the entrance of the stairs, as soon as I heard the sound, I threw myself and attacked him. He suffered bruises here and there while rolling randomly on the stairs, and went straight down to the 5th floor to engage in a hand-to-hand combat.


"Ouch, this damn thing...... !"


I couldn't even give him a chance to reload. I clamped his neck and hit him in the middle.


"Die...... !"


Puck, Puck! A bloody skirmish ensued. The shooter struggled here and there and hit my side, where the blood was flowing. And when I still didn't budge, I put his finger in and tore it all the way up.


"Kuheugh...... !"


Still felt no pain. However, the blood flowed so fast that I couldn't even speak, and with just a glance, I could see the intestines inside. It was such a miserable condition.


"Kkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeukkkeuk ... !"


I had to see the end. I grabbed the guy's shoulder with the hand that had hit the philtrum. After taking his teeth, he bit his neck like a beast. It bit the skin and severed all the blood vessels inside it!


Took.


The shooter's arm sagged. It had stopped breathing. I rummaged through the ammo belt he was wearing and took out all the regenerating bullets. I loaded it before I had time to take another action. It took nine feet to fill the gap in the side.


I feel like I'm becoming a monster.


―I don't know who you're thinking of, but if it's a gloomy memory, forget it.


But couldn't stop.


- From now on, I will be by your side.


Elizabeth's face shimmered in front of me. I endured the dizziness caused by anemia and made up my mind. I searched the arms of the gunner who had died under me, and unexpectedly found a radio that was intact and activated it.


"...... Julich Renner?"


"What about Ruprecht?"


"If that's the guy you sent, he's dead."


Before he could finish his words, a gunshot rang out from the top of the stairs. There were also explosions one after another. It must have been that he shot where I assumed was where I was.


"Have you given up on the duel or what?"


I kicked Ruprecht's corpse and crawled on the floor. I couldn't get up on my own, so I had to find a suitable cover and set it up to take care of Franz's safety.


"If I was going to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago."


"If so, did you have other intentions?"


"Just as you helped your teammates, I just helped mine."


Julich fired the magic bullet a couple more times. This time it was at the top of the stairs. Explosive bullets that hit the 6th floor of the Beta Building started a fierce fire. It was impossible not to catch fire because it fired three times in tandem, and only then did I realize what its purpose was.


Unlike sniper battles in hiding, simple ignorant assaults require lighting. Julich brought light to the three gunners under my command. Because Franz is a secret agent, an operative active in the dark. Because he has a numerical advantage without having to do that kind of calculation!


"Come, then let's see who helps better!"


The bosses stick together, and the subordinates stick together. I used Ruprecht's rifle, which I had prepared in advance, as a crutch. He picked up grenade launchers and absorber bombs scattered around the area and made the 5th floor a safe zone for magic bullets.


Then I walked to the bench set up in the hallway and covered myself. While the effect of the absorption bullets lasted, it would be useless to shoot magic bullets, and sniping was also safe because it was in a perfect blind spot through cover. Julich can't target me, but I can pose a threat to him or his subordinates.


Bang! Tattang!


Franz was on the central staircase on the third floor. The cover was the same bench I used. Two gunners were on the opposite side, and the other was just about to emerge from the elevator behind them. It was a real crisis.


Bang!


I suppressed my pounding heart and shot him. The guy with a hole in his forehead fell down and opened and closed the elevator door. It was terrifying to see him die with his eyes open. Unlike the knife, the tactile sensation was not transmitted, but it was.


"Did you intend to keep avoiding my sniping with just that piece of wood?"


"...... !"


Papababak! The moment the walkie-talkie rang, the chair shattered. As soon as he heard that, he lowered his head, and if it hadn't been for the damn thing, he would have died instantly. Even now, blood was flowing from the bullet that had grazed the back of his head.


"Iron-piercing bullets...... !"


It was the same bullet that was used to shoot Otto at the Bernhardt National Theater. He was careless saying that there was no magic bullet, but it was a big mistake. Unlike other shooters, Jullich Renner was thoroughly prepared. It was absolutely impossible to support Franz while leaving him alone.


"Originally, the term magic bullet shooter meant only me!"


Damn it, it's the worst.


Excluding the real magic bullet shooter on the 7th floor, that is the case. The guys fighting fiercely on the third floor, the two violinists of the black orchestra, were all experts.


You wouldn't know if you were supporting from the side like before or if Franz aimed the gun first. However, in a head-to-head confrontation like now, we were at an overwhelming disadvantage. In terms of sniping, it's a quick-fire battle that only takes a little longer to prepare.


"Struggling as hard as you can, Seo Jeong-woo!"


"Kuh...... !"


A steel bullet is aiming for my life. Due to the structure of the hallway, one side of which is made of glass, it is unreasonable to endure without cover. Of course, I was at a disadvantage with the height of the 5th and 7th floors, so I used it as a shield when I found the body of Ruprecht who had been kicked earlier.


"Yeah, you were such a mean person originally."


Papababak! Ruprecht's body shook. Although he was a relatively fat guy, the bullet went through his body. Still, under the conviction that it is better than nothing, I quietly chanted an incantation under the corpse.


"Wind, dwell...... !"


I only blew air into my left leg.


"Wind, dwell...... !"


Didn't need long. Just a few minutes was enough. So, as long as my magic power allows, I let the wind dwell in my body. Thus, he was able to walk on his own two feet without using Ruprecht's gun as a crutch, and was able to run again, only with difficulty controlling it.


「A modest 2-item magic, magic bullets stolen from us, subordinates using the background of the queen.」


Papababak! A bullet passed through his left shoulder. There was no pain, but the shock was great. I collapsed again rolling on the floor and got up without resting for a moment. I got up like a tumbleweed and avoided the continuous conversation.


"Unlike us who went through all her hardships, all you did was fawn over the villainess."


Julich was playing with me cornered. With my sniper skills, I could have killed me instantly, but I didn't. It just made them roll, roll, roll, and roll again without a break. It's like a little squirrel spinning on a treadmill.


"Hold your gun!"


It was humiliating. Before that, his mental strength was at its limit. It was so hard to somehow find a way out without losing my breath right away. But I can't give up either. I had a mission to save Elizabeth.


"Fight against me!"


I didn't want anyone to die anymore.


"Just like you did to my comrades-in-arms, I mean make fun of your mouth!"


It was the last. I finally squeezed out all my remaining strength. I took only two bullets from the bullet belt I was wearing, the Günzburg magic bullet. Then he rolled it up and threw it out the window with all his might.


"Aaah...... !"


It was a fleeting moment. Jamiel's barrel glowed red. One of the two bullets he had prepared was an explosive. Julich must have fixed himself somewhere by the window to shoot me. I was aiming for just that.


"Flame, burn!"


The magic bullets imbued with fire exploded. The belts of ammunition flying in the air were accurately matched, and the belts of magic bullets loaded with gunpowder and magical power at the same time created such a formidable mushroom cloud.


Boom! Kwagwagwang!


There was no distinction between alpha-dong and beta-dong. All hospital windows were shattered spectacularly. The explosion hit anyone out in the hallway. I was no exception either. Like burning raw flesh over a hot fire, gunpowder and magical fires clung to my body.


"Kkeukreuk, krukkeukreuk...... !"


I couldn't breathe. I will earn in front of my eyes I rolled over the floor full of broken windows while my whole body was on fire. There were scratches here and there and some fragments even went into the torn side, but it didn't matter.


After I managed to turn off the light, I stood up against the wall. I clenched my fists with my palms tucked in, so I took the ammunition. I quickly put it into Jamiel's magazine and loaded it. I looked all over the 7th floor with my gun up.


Bang! Tattang!


Around that time, the match was decided in the battleground on the 3rd floor of Alpha Building. Franz, who had brought this unfavorable fight to a draw, was sprawled on the floor. I was able to kill them in the aftermath of the explosion I caused, but it seemed that I was also seriously injured.


"...... Good work, Franz."


I looked at it for a moment, and it was my thigh. It looked like an artery had ruptured. Maybe it's hard to survive any longer. But he raised his fist towards the 5th floor where I am. It was okay, so it was a signal that we must win. I put his sacrifice on my shoulders and prepared to snip.


In the aftermath of the explosion, the outer wall, which was on fire, lit up the view. Injuries that have reached the critical point are anemia due to bleeding. Tremors due to pain. It disturbed me with an uneven pulse.


"Are you listening, Julich?"


I spoke to the walkie-talkie attached to my body. There was silence for the first few moments, but that was it. The guy who had fallen out of the window didn't have time to turn off the radio, and thanks to that, I could hear all his moans and movements in my ears.


"Let's put an end to it."


".......」


"To this damn duel."


It's a fight that started with sniping. Wouldn't it be neat to end it with a sniper?


I paid close attention to the location where he had been before. The guy is probably also paying attention to where I was.


"I will count to three. Show up."


So that each other can shoot each other whenever they put their heads together.


"I'll give you the match the way you wanted so much."


"...... Great."


Finally, Julihi appeared. It was at the end of the 7th floor of Alpha Building. We looked at each other with our rifles out the window. The radio's communication was completely open, and it was set aside, away from the body.


To prepare for the conversation.


It was a ridiculous match. Two people who set a signal and keep it in a fight where the first to shoot wins. But I was on the 5th floor and he was on the 7th floor. If the guy who fell out of the window blindly hid and endured, I was more at a disadvantage because I couldn't handle the injury.


I had to drag him out. And it just needed time to aim. Like a duel according to old manners, there was no other way for me, and he was ready to respond.


"Are you ready?"


"Count to three."


The gun was firmly fixed on the shoulder. His left hand was pierced through the shoulder and had no strength. So I put the trigger on the fixed rifle with only my right hand.


"Three."


Yulihi countered.


"Two."


Again I counted one.


"One."


And right after.


"......."


Time was stretched out


".......」


I aimed precisely at Julich and tried to pull the trigger. The guy had to do that too. But for some reason, right after counting one, we couldn't trigger the bullet. No one shot first.


It was a strange thing.


I thought it would not last long, but the first minute passed just like that. As we promised to shoot after counting three, we should have already killed one or the other, but we couldn't.


"Seo Jeong-woo."


From the radio, Julich's tired voice flowed.


"Why didn't you shoot?"


"Why are you like that?"


".......」


Silence ensued again. As if it had been promised, another minute passed. It was only after that that Julich opened his mouth.


"Damn it, seriousness like this just doesn't suit my personality."


That was the signal Finally, the guy pulled the trigger.


Bang! With a sound, the bullet grazed my earlobe.


Now, on the count of three, strictly speaking, he hadn't broken his promise. But we had an unspoken agreement that neither side would fire first, and his actions came as a betrayal. So I reflexively pulled the trigger.


Bang!


The guy didn't escape. Even though I had two seconds to spare before the bullet exploded. As an aside, those two seconds were the time it took for my gun to move from between his eyebrows to his chest. We resent each other like that to death, and when the time came, we hesitated.


"Chehe...... !"


Yulihi, who grabbed his chest, collapsed. He was in no position to die instantly. Although he aimed for his chest, he didn't hit the vitals. Because there are so many things I want to ask.


I used Zamiel as a crutch and put her on her feet. After passing through the central aisle on the 5th floor connecting Alpha Building and Beta Building, I struggled up the stairs.


After that day when I was wrecked in Saxony, I thought I couldn't get my body more broken than that. But the world doesn't know the future.


He moved his body up to the 7th floor of Alpha Building and laughed. There was no way I could stop laughing, perhaps because my mind wouldn't be able to hold on if I didn't.


We finally reached the 7th floor of Alpha Building.


I saw Julich who had fallen in front of me. His gun was out of his hand, and sprawled out didn't seem dangerous. If he had intended to kill him, he would have killed him long ago. Because I had a chance to do that a hundred times more.


"Why, cool......."


The elf-like eared guy noticed my whereabouts and looked at me. I don't know if his body didn't have enough strength, or if he couldn't even raise his head because he was exhausted, but he asked me as he coughed up blood in his outstretched posture.


"Why did you kill his father......."


"Rolfe rebelled against me."


"As expected, it was the work of the orchestra......."


"We had to knock him out. But that's not all. There were also personal grudges."


I moved closer so he could see my face more easily. I didn't think I would never get up again if I sat down even once, but I lowered my head from the seat he stretched out and made eye contact with him.


"You were also responsible. I can't believe it......."


"Believe."


"...... !"


"I guess, that kind of responsibility......."


Julich continued to vomit handfuls of blood. His breath was wheezing, and his complexion turned blue, indicating that death was imminent.


"Why didn't you kill me?"


"Huh, because I did......."


"I know, eagle owl......."


It was a very strange feeling. In a quiet hallway, communicating with the person who shared the intent to kill just a few minutes ago.


I felt sorry for Julich Renner's dying life. Realizing that fact belatedly, I was surprised, but not disgusted.


"Rolf Renner, our boss......."


Julich sighed and added.


"I know that man is a bastard......."


I couldn't say anything. I couldn't even take action. Considering what happened at the National Theater, I wouldn't mind twisting his neck here and now, but every word he said was sincere, and it shook my heart again.


"Perhaps he was ashamed of his son, he didn't even let him call him father outside......."


My deceased father was always ashamed of me. On the outside, he made me act a close friend and rich man, but on the inside, he teased me with all sorts of faults.


"Damn, I just couldn't understand......."


Julich Renner shed tears.


"Because my brother died so unexpectedly......."


"I heard you were a soldier."


"It must be so known......."


He pointed at the gun I was holding with a trembling hand.


"Our shooters carried on their backs the dreams their parents couldn't fulfill. As the son of a defeated royalist, I had to flatter your lover somehow......."


Magic bullets are snipers armed with forbidden weapons. They gained their magical powers by eating the flesh and blood of the dead. And after hearing that fact and the words Julich uttered, I came to a certain frightening conclusion.


"My brother was the first test subject......."


I picked up the gun he pointed at. The gun had the same name as the one I was holding, Jamiel, written in Bernhard letters. The difference is that the crooked letter Lars is engraved next to it.


"The magic bullet shooter, Lars Renner......."


Originally, the magician's shooter was said to refer only to Julihi Renner himself. However, the word Lars was written on this gun. In addition, the name was his brother's name, and also the first experimental body.


...... Of what?


"My father was a bitter Restorationist......."


I knew. It was a fact I had heard from Beatrix ever since I met my end and returned from that same author.


"I was trying to somehow reestablish the kingdom, trying to catch Beatrix's eyes......."


Yulihi groaned with difficulty.


"Forcing his older brother to commit himself to the experiment, and urging his mother to die instead......."


Looking back, it seemed like it was because of such absurd tenacity. Hagi even rated it as fun enough that even the queen knew about it and condoned it.


"My father is a bastard, a very bastard......."


He was right. Rolf Renner was an asshole. It was even more so when he combined the newly learned facts. As a high-ranking official of the kingdom, he was a member of the royal party, and since he was defeated in the civil war, he has been searching for his life. Even sacrificing my wife and eldest son to restore the monarchy.


"But, he's my father...... !"


I sympathized with him. Considering what I've done with him so far, I shouldn't have done that.


"No matter how much I hate you, damn it......."


"...... Yes, because they are blood relatives."


I sympathized with him.


"It's fine no matter what you rate it. Because I had no choice but to avenge my father. Because I had no choice but to avenge my family......."


"So you insisted on a duel?"


"The other guys agreed......."


"Why was it a duel?"


"I've been carrying out cowardly massacres as the devil's shooter all my life. I wanted to do it proudly as much as I risked my life for revenge. All together......."


It was a moment when everything made sense. I didn't respond and only made eye contact with Jullich. I came here even after wasting my body. I promised myself that if I spoke nonsense, I would strangle her to death.


I couldn't.


It might have been Rolf Renner, but it wasn't Julich Renner. Killing Adele with a grin was as vivid as if it had happened yesterday, but it overlapped with the present, causing regret.


"There was no room for conversation...... ?"


I sat down in front of him. I thought I wouldn't get up again, so I tried not to, but I just couldn't bear to stand up.


"The answer will be replaced with this."


I took the memory bullets out of the guy's belt and loaded them into Jamiel. I didn't think I would be able to reach the memory I wanted with one shot, so I took all the bullets. Then bang, bang, bang, bang.......


"...... !"


Julich's eyes widened. He felt the memories flooding around him and shuddered. He indirectly experienced everything from the moment I rebelled against Beatrix in my first life to the present.


Impersonating an eagle owl and moving Otto.


The incident of being caught by Beatrix and confronting the judge.


Then, what happened to them at the National Theater in reverse.


A miracle that revives again.


A deal made with the Queen on March 13, 1942 that went back like that.


A night of shameless sex.


Elizabeth's consolation, which was like salvation in the abyss.


The moment when I had to push her away even though I loved her.


Saxony blood fight.


The day I made Feininger and his intelligence department my own.


Seven days to tame Adele.


A reunion with the confidant who was thought to be dead.


And here again.


"Cu-cu, cu-cu, cu-cu..." ...."


Yulihi laughed. He laughed out loud, not caring that his blood was pouring out like a fountain.


It looked disappointing. Well, I did just that. Because I lost even the person I would resent. The fact that the cause of this bloody struggle was the fault of me and my father.


"Your lover, cool......."


Julich pointed to a nearby hospital room. As if he didn't even have the strength left to finish his words from the laughter he had just made, he chanted in a trembling voice with hemoptysis.


"Watch out Mrs. Shadow......."


That was my last will. The last shooter died just like that. I felt ugly, so I closed my eyes and stood up from my seat. It was to check on Elizabeth's safety.


Limp, limp again.


Every step I took seemed like a thousand pounds. It was like a million again. Still, her gear pulled into her hospital room, where she was. Not a single light was on, so the dark room was well lit by the moonlight filtering in from the window on the other side. After I opened the door and entered, the fire on the outer wall lit up the inside like a light, making it even brighter.


"Elizabeth, I'm here......."


I approached her who was sound asleep on her bed. I felt like I was about to collapse, but I persevered and endured it. So he sat down on the spot where she lay, and after holding her hand, kissed the back of her hand.


There was a lot I wanted to say, but my mouth wouldn't come out. I have fought so desperately to get here. His skin almost melted from burns all over his body, and his intestines could be seen dangling from his torn side.


His face was disfigured with fractures and bruises. Now, he has become a complete monster. Even though I was proud that I had a pretty face to look at.


"Right now, I just want to rest......."


I cried and held my hand tightly. Due to multiple injuries, the effect of the drug was ending earlier than expected. The pain was unbearable, and I wanted to scream and make a fuss, but I couldn't even do that.


Because my beloved lover was sleeping soundly here. She was breathing lightly and resting with her respirator on.


"...... The Prince of the East?"


Yeah, that's why I didn't scream despite the belated presence. At first, it was because he wondered how Franz, who had managed to get the situation right, was coming here.


But that wasn't it.


I quietly turned around and checked the face of the uninvited guest standing in the doorway.


"You...... !"


The uninvited guest was a man I will never forget. He was a man who was not now, but was destined to meet in the near future. He was once a comrade with whom I shared a spirit and tipped a glass.


"It's quite the way. I wondered if he would die on the way, but to say he wiped it all out."


Sharp eyes like a wolf and a long sword worn on the waist!


There is no element that points to a more certain identity than this in the old kingdom of Bernhard. Because it was a characteristic that only the two of them had. Because it was the impression that it meant only one person until now!


"I had a hard time getting here. I don't know what he did, but the radiance ran like crazy."


"Elfriede? Did you knock it down?"


"It was pretty intense for a warm-up. You must be having a hard time regenerating your body by now."


Looking back, I had completely forgotten about it. There's no way that crazy brilliance would fall out in just a few shots. At first, I was worried that I would recover quickly and catch up, but as the fierce battle continued, I completely forgot about it. Because I had no clue.


But that wasn't it. He didn't stay quiet, he was fighting you.


"Why?"


"Because I received a request."


"Who is this request from?"


"It's a vampire."


The great leader of Saxony, Gisele Schneider! Her name flashed through my mind like her lightning bolt.


“Anyway, it bothers me to cut a kite who would die if left alone.”


"You mean he sent me to kill you?"


"Even the woman lying there is the same. He asked me to tell him some words."


"...... What?"


The uninvited guest shrugged her shoulders. His humorous attitude was full of hidden life.


"Don't worry, I sent you first."


"...... Who?"


"Otto Moritz. Anton Feininger. And Adele Schneider."


I clenched both of my fists. I finally realized who the opponent who stood in my way was. And he couldn't contain his anger.


"Giselle, you damn bitch...... !"


Because her message said it all.


"Yes, when you scream like that, tell me this too."


"...... ?"


"The real game is your loss."


It became dark before my eyes. The uninvited guest, whether or not he knew how I felt, put his hand on my broken belt. Looking at it, it looked like it would come to an end soon.


"This is the end of being a postman, are you ready?"


"Don't touch the woman."


"The bituminous department does not accept. It's a pity, but we both have to die here."


"Carl Wolf!"


The uninvited guest, the wolf's brother, widened his eyes.


"Do you know me?"


Vice-captain of the Millennium Wolf Knights. The younger brother of Erich Wolf, a wolf who was once said to have the same swordsmanship skills as Beatrix. And the traitor who helped ruin the kingdom by stabbing his brother.


"The woman lying there is your junior! Elizabeth of the Mittemeyer family! One of your brother's favorite articles! So don't touch me, I'm done with one...... !"


Karl Wolf is a clear-cut strongman.


"That's right. Somehow, I thought that being tall like the old man was familiar."


To the extent that Leona Schultz, the third great eagle owl of the Black Orchestra, and former pupil of the Führer, took it in herself.


"If you still have pride as a wolf, let her live."


"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can."


"Don't do anything you'll regret, you know my life is enough!"


"All I can promise is that I'll send you off in peace."


There was no other way. I looked at the comrades with whom I had risen in my first life. It was friendship and bond that regenerated him who had fallen and escaped from being plagued by sin. But now it was a situation where neither side could stand up.


So, you have to fight.


"Okay, raise your sword...... !"


"You mean you're going to stand up to me with that body?"


Carol sighed. It was because my body, which was like a living corpse, was in a defiant posture. Moreover, while he was armed with a sword, I was bare-handed.


"I heard you look down on me because I can defy death."


"...... !"


"As expected, Mrs. Shadow said."


My heart was pounding. Taken aback, I showed an opening. And the wolf did not miss that moment and stuck his fangs into it. He thrust a knife into his side, where his internal organs were clearly visible, and slashed his brain.


"It's over, perfectionist. It seems that his memory has returned, but his luck with Daejin wasn't good."


"How......."


“This is just as unfortunate. I expected it because I fought hard against the three members of the Iron Cross.”


"How, my secret...... !"


"You will find out in the next life. It won't be long before that either."


The mind fades I've lost too much blood But I can't fall here. There is still work to be done. I have to live I have to live and protect someone who is more precious than my own life. Her life, which she had to protect even more strictly than the secret of this return!


"Then goodbye."


"Do not be ridiculous!"


Not like that. I broke the sword stuck in my body with my elbow and stepped back. Without even feeling the pain, he pulled out a blade from his stomach and attacked Carol using it as a weapon while holding it.


"You fool, what are you going to do with that body?"


A little faster, a little stronger!


"...... !"


Think of all the strong people you can think of. Practice all techniques that can be practiced.


Otto Moritz's dragon power, Leona Schulz's stride, Elisabeth Mittemeyer's gesture, Karl Wolf's theft, Gisele Schneider's vengeful spirit, Elfriede Eichmann's madness, the will of the ghosts, Julich Renner's tenacity, and Beatrix Adler's strength. !


"Carl Wolf!"


"I see, it's quite...... !"


Fierce resistance made him backtrack. It was a wonderful miracle.


"I won't lose anymore, I won't lose!"


"But that's it."


Of course, it was only a temporary measure. Before long, the wolf, reading my movements, gradually reduced its retreat and counterattacked. However, the moment I moved the stage from the hospital room to the hallway, my goal was already accomplished.


"No! I will protect it even by burning my soul and body!"


The left arm was cut off. The blade, which had been gripped with his bones as support as it cut his skin, flew through the air. And at that moment, I moved on the neck and bit it with my teeth. Even as his lips and tongue were being cut, he bounced his head with force until his teeth were crushed.


Just like that, I ended up driving the tip of the knife into the guy's thigh.


"This guy...... !"


It was a moment of moments. I let go of the wolf, which hesitated for a moment, then fell back and hugged Elisabeth who was lying on the bed at once.


He roughly tore off his respirator and intravenous drip, hugged him along with the blanket he was covering, and rushed to the window where the moonlight hung.


Wow Jangchang!


Time was stretched out Around that time, Elisabeth slowly opened her eyes, perhaps because of the sudden pain. The gauze covering the face was blown away by the wind, so that hideous face was exposed.......


It didn't matter.


"I'm sorry for lying to you, Elizabeth."


She was still beautiful


"Jeong Woo...... ?"


Floating in the air was only for a moment, and I, who had to lessen the shock of falling from the 7th floor, hugged Elizabeth with one arm. He wrapped himself up to lessen the shock that was about to come and left his last will.


"I love you."


Because of you, I realized that I am a person with a warm heart again. I'm sorry I turned down your offer to run away with you. I still regret that I turned away from such a sincere confession.


This loss will surely leave you with a big scar that cannot be erased. But know this one thing. I valued your comfort more than my humble life. I never wanted to lose someone as powerless as my dead wife and daughter again.


So please.


"You must survive."


Must survive


"I salute the people of Bernhardt early this morning. This is Hildegard, the morning contemplation time that I visit every day at 8:00 am."


Next time I will definitely protect you!
