Chapter 1485 – Violence Is Everywhere.
The exhausted breathing of two men echoed in the messed up room.
It’s hot in Rius’s ears as he catches his breath. Although I was exhausted, I heard laughter mixed with joy.
“If you are a disciple of Gwangyeom, it can’t be helped even if you lose…”
Clie’s soft voice filled Rius’ heart with excitement and joy.
‘I won!!’
This man was really strong.
He defeated such an amazing man with only his own strength without any physical strength!!
He was high, but he didn’t forget what he had to do.
After catching his breath, Rius stood up and pointed his sword at Clie.
“Tell me everything you know.”
“If you don’t tell me, are you going to kill me?”
“No, but I’m going to hand it over to Dre.”
That would be more terrible than dying.
“Haha. Are you talking as if I won’t get over it if I tell you?”
“I won’t hand it over.”
“Why?”
“You didn’t try to kill me, right?”
Except for a few attacks, most of Clie’s slashes were aimed at Rius’ limbs.
In other words, they only attacked places where their lives were not at risk.
Even in that critical moment when he was sharing his secret weapon, his sword was aimed at his shoulder area, not his vital area.
This person’s disposition is not evil.
Just. It’s just being loyal to the owner.
“You did that too.”
“Because that’s what you said.”
“Don’t call me uncle. I’m still young.”
Clie took a deep breath and sighed.
“I don’t want to die, so I’m going to tell you everything I know. I especially don’t want to be handed over to Gwangyeom.”
“Well, wouldn’t it be an honor to see the face of Gwangyeom up close…” Rius asked in response to Clie’s muttering.
“Are you by any chance a fan of Dre?”
“I respect Hiro Kaitsu more. He’s also a great person. Let’s get to the point… I’m really sorry, but I don’t know anything.”
Rius glared at him, but Clie continued speaking without much agitation.
“It’s true. I was just working here because the head of the family asked me to help and hold the reins for the bastards. Furthermore, I knew the secret room existed, but I didn’t know what they were doing.”
“How can I believe that?”
“I would like to make a pledge. But a pledge becomes almost ineffective if there is even the slightest coercion.”
Clie scratched her head and sighed again. It seemed like he kept coming out without realizing it.
“I’m going crazy too. I thought he was being promiscuous at best. Where on earth did those idiots get the knowledge to create a drug farm?”
No matter how much I heard, Clie seemed to be telling the truth.
Even if he wasn’t telling the truth, Rius didn’t have the guts to do something like torture.
“But. I can tell you this.”
Clie waved his hand.
The magic letter I saw earlier was slowly rotating on his wrist.
“What is that?”
“It’s used in an emergency. It’s a magic that takes a picture of the other person’s face and transmits it to us idiots.”
“…!!”
Rius’ complexion turned pale.
That means…
“You were infiltrated on a mission to the Church of Judgment, right? Hurry up.”
Doo doo doo doo doo doo.
Heavy footsteps are heard from all directions.
It was the sound of the knights’ footsteps.
Rius opened his eyes fiercely and raised his sword.
The drug field is evidence that threatens Grant, who has barely found it. I couldn’t give up like this.
Since he saw the drug field in Hayendo, it was clear that he had done something like that.
At that time, Clie laughed as if she was desperate.
“Don’t worry. I can’t hide it anymore. Feel it well.”
Hearing Clie’s words, Rius looked more closely at the presence. Then, not only the knights, but also the presence of ordinary people was felt at the same time.
“Huh? Why do ordinary people…?”
“Look at what’s around you.”
Rius looked around and opened his mouth.
Not only was it damaged by a slash, but fires were rising here and there.
Could it be that he fought so fiercely with Clie?
“I think the most fun thing in the world is watching fights and watching fireworks. The sound of us fighting must have been so loud.”
Everyone in the mansion sensed something was wrong and came running.
“Aside from you, there are more people who have infiltrated the Church of Judgment. Maybe they will come here too and take pictures of this scene.”
“How can you believe that?”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it. Anyway, we have to hurry. We idiots may not know anything else, but they can smell when they are in danger, right?”
Rius made a puzzled face.
“The problem is not the knights coming in now. The problem is the destruction of evidence and witnesses. As evidence, you can investigate the drugs and magic tools you have stuffed in subspace, but that probably won’t be enough to bring down the bastards.”〈 Br〉
Clie was giving sincere advice. Rius listened.
“Secure witnesses. Protect yourself and the people associated with you.”
“Why are you helping me?”
“Why? Well.”
Clie often smiled childishly.
“Is it because she couldn’t say anything while watching her subordinate cut down a student?”
“…”
At that moment, the knights rushed in.
With their swords drawn, they saw the fallen Clie and lit a fire in her eyes.
“Clie!”
“Captain!!”
“You did that!”
Rius is ruined by the death pouring in from all directions. He muttered and clicked his tongue, and Clie shouted.
“Everyone, don’t touch anything!! This is an order!!”
The knights flinched and stopped, and Rius looked blankly at Clie.
“It’s not for you. If a disciple of Gwangyeom dies at the hands of my subordinates, we idiots will calmly place all the blame on us.”
Clie was closing her eyes, as if speaking was becoming increasingly difficult.
I am losing so much blood that my life is in danger.
“Here! Stop the bleeding…!”
Rius raised his hand and shouted without realizing it.
One of the knights who was looking at the mess of drugs and magic tools in the room hurriedly approached Clie, and Rius walked towards his entrance.
Is it because of Clie’s orders? None of the knights touched him.
No.
Maybe it was their mood, but there seemed to be some kind of expectation in their eyes.
‘That’s right.’
Who would enjoy cutting a child who hasn’t done anything wrong and is much younger than them?
As soon as I came out of the building, sure enough. Just as Clie said, many people were whispering around the building, wondering what was going on. Even if there are a few of these people planted by the Church of Judgment, they will not be noticeable at all.
Rius immediately called Luca.
Tiririri. Clutter.
[Uh, uh! Rius!!]
Luca answered the phone right away, as if he had been waiting.
[Hey? What happened? I hear there’s a fire in the Grant guys’ building. Are you there by any chance?]
“Luca. Listen calmly.”
Luca closed his mouth and listened to Rius’ words.
Rius explained everything he saw in the secret space, and Luca stuck his tongue out.
“Just as we thought, there was a huge secret hidden inside the Grant building. I secured the evidence, and they captured my face. The Grant kids must have been in a hurry.”
[Does that mean… I, too, will be targeted?]
“I’m sorry. My face was taken by the enemy…”
[No!! I was in my room doing nothing and what can I say! But did you break through that security? It’s really amazing!!]
Even though it was a tense situation, I didn’t feel bad about receiving sincere praise.
“What? With that much… Anyway, where are you now? You should be next to me.”
[I’m in the dormitory… Ah.]
But. Suddenly Luca made an anxious voice.
[But wait a minute. Then, what about Hayen?]
“Ah.”
Yes. Hayen.
Although he is in a coma, the righteous boy, who is certain to wake up someday, may be the first witness to the drug field.
Those scum Grants probably thought it was too risky to kill the son of the famous Havelor, so they put him in a coma.
Now things have changed. You never know when the existence of drugs will be revealed.
Grant would choose to kill Havelor’s son rather than being exposed for his serious involvement in drugs.
“Damn it…!! It’s really dangerous!”
There were paladins guarding the hospital, but somehow I didn’t have a good feeling.
[Rius. You go to Hayen! I’ll take care of it myself…!!]
What is Luca going to do alone with his weak legs?
Rius groaned and then said, “Ah!” It made a sound.
“I’ll send someone to escort you, so stay in your room.”
[Okay.]
I could feel Luca shaking with anxiety over the phone.
That anxiety actually stabilized Rius.
“Don’t worry, Luca. I will never let you die, not even Hayen.”
[Rius…]
“I’m going to tell my aide about today’s events, but honestly, I can’t trust him. Luca. If you ever meet Hors later, tell him in detail what I saw.”
Rius described the drug manufacturing plant he had seen in more detail.
Luca looked like he couldn’t believe it even after hearing it again.
[No, Grant, you crazy bastards. Even so, how can a drug field be built in a school building…]
“Anyway!! Don’t open the door until the aide comes!!”
After hanging up the phone, Rius immediately called his aide and ran to the hospital where Hayen was.
Tiririri. Tiririri. Tiririri.
“Damn it!! Why don’t you accept it!!”
You’re the hero’s aide, but you don’t answer the hero’s calls?
Is it dereliction of duty?
‘Is this because you got into trouble with me earlier?’
I know there is a call, but there is a possibility that I am not answering it on purpose.
“Damn. I’m already out of my mind…!!”
Rius is not good at writing letters.
As he ran, he typed letters one by one with his fingers and sent them to his aide.
The contents are.
[If you don’t answer the phone right away, I will tell Hors that your assistant has a bad work attitude.]
Tiririririri.
“Damn.”
Rius sighed and answered the phone call that seemed like a lie.
[No. Mr. Rius. How a warrior threatens someone…]
“Quiet!!!!”
When Rius shouted loudly, the aide said what?
He closed his mouth.
“Listen carefully. If you don’t follow my instructions, I will tell Master Hors that you ruined the mission because of your aide. I won’t tell you again, so listen carefully!!”
[Yes, yes…]
The overwhelmed aide gulped.
“I discovered a drug manufacturing factory in Grant’s private building. It’s the drug factory Hors is looking for. When I found out, Grant was trying to kill me and all my associates. Hayen is probably also being targeted.”
[No, what…]
“Go to the dormitory right now and protect Luca, and inform Hors of this incident.”
Rius shouted in frustration at the aide who was moaning as if in shock.
“If anything happens to Luca, she will never leave me alone!! I made it clear? “
After being scolded, Rius anxiously waited for his aide’s reaction.
[Ah, I understand. That’s right.]
That’s it.
The aide was annoying, but he was good at his job.
After hanging up the phone, Rius was relieved and ran to the hospital at full speed.
“Ha.”
As soon as I arrived in front of the hospital, my mouth fell open because I was so dumbfounded.
All the lights in the hospital were turned off.
This is an abnormal situation.
There are Holy Knights in this hospital who are strong enough to maintain a sacred barrier, so what kind of disaster has already happened in the short time they have been running here?
“Inhale!”
Pow!
I tried spreading energy, which I am now quite familiar with.
A battle is taking place inside a darkened hospital.
‘It’s urgent.’
If you go through the entrance and get caught up in a fight, you will be late.
We need to hurry because we don’t know if something happened to Hayen right now.
Rius remembered the location of Hayen’s hospital room that he saw last time and went outside the building. He figured out the location of his hospital room and jumped.
Fuuuuu!! Wooooo!
Unlike when he infiltrated the Grand Building, there was no need to hide his presence, and the momentum of his leap with all his might was like a rocket.
It draws a parabola in the night sky and flies towards the hospital room window.
Clink!!
Rius broke the window and entered… “Whew.” I breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the blue moonlight. Hayen, lying on the bed, was still breathing calmly.
“I almost got into big trouble…”
Rius’ eyes stared at the person standing at the entrance to the hospital room.
He looked dangerous at first glance, wearing black robes that shimmered like shadows.
“Assassin…?”
I didn’t think they would mobilize a knight to do such a dirty job. No matter what, a noble family from a famous family would use such suspicious people.
Blame it!!
While Rius was sighing, the assassin rushed in without making a sound.
Shuung!!”
“!”
The assassin saw Rius throw away his sword and jumped backwards to avoid it.
Awesome!!
The moment a huge crack appeared in the floor, Rius picked Hayen up, carried her on his shoulder, and tried to throw her out the window.
But. On the ground outside the window, many assassins were staring up at us.
The sounds of battle that were echoing in the hospital had suddenly stopped.
Rius’ head stood on end.
No way. All the paladins suffered?
“Tsk.”
Rius has already been greatly exhausted from the fight with Clie, and he is also carrying Hayen on his shoulders.
It seemed impossible to break through their siege.
Rius turned his back and rushed at the assassin.
Shukakakakakak!
The assassin dodged the random sword strikes like a kite with a broken string.
However, Rius was able to take advantage of the gap and escape through the door.
‘It’s easier than I thought…?’
It was a little surprising that he got out so easily, but Rius ran, saying that a good thing is a good thing.
The presence of an assassin was felt not only on the first floor but also on any floor. In the end, Rius ended up on the rooftop.
Rius spread his flag and checked the situation.
Two assassins climbing the wall.
The rest is in front of the rooftop entrance.
Rius ran to the railing, looked down, and fired his sword at the assassins climbing the wall.
Puff!!
“Ouch!”
“Pfft!”
Two assassins who look like ghosts but fall screaming as if they are actually human.
At that moment, pow!! The door exploded, and the remaining assassins entered the rooftop at once.
‘About ten people.’
Can you fight ten assassins powerful enough to annihilate the Holy Knights of the Church of Judgment while carrying Hayen on your shoulders?
‘It’s not a question of whether it will happen, it’s a question of whether it should be done.’
Rius’ face turned cold, and his breathing became calm.
The assassins hesitated for a moment due to their sharp prayers, which were unbecoming of their young age, but they soon rushed in all at once.
Chachachachachachachachachae!!
Eerie flashes flashed under the blue moonlight.
The sound of Ki and Ryunar exploding echoed in the dry black air.
Rius showed acrobatics, dodging the assassins’ weapons by just a hair’s breadth, determined to give up his flesh in return for their bones.
The acrobatics was worth it, as he had already cut down more than six assassins.
There were scratches on Rius’ body too.
The swords they held were coated with poison, but they neutralized it with the miracle of the Church of Judgment, and when they lost a lot of blood, their wounds were miraculously sutured and the blood was replenished.
The assassins seemed quite taken aback by Rius’s skills beyond their imagination.
Seeing that, I felt uplifted.
‘Ah. What is it?’
I use sacred miracles to protect good citizens and defeat assassins with my trained sword skills.
‘You look like a warrior, right?’
How much time has passed?
Before I knew it, I could no longer hear the cold sound of metal clashing.
All ten assassins were lying down around Rius.
The surprising thing is that no one died.
In this situation, he succeeded in subduing his enemies rather than killing them.
There were people who didn’t want to kill people, but if you interrogate them, they were behind it. It was thought that it could lead to Grant.
“Whoa… Whoo…”
Rius, who no longer had the strength to stand, held his sword like a cane and breathed heavily.
‘Let’s rest for a bit.’
Rest a little bit. When you regain your strength, take Hayen to a safe place…
I flinch.
Rius turned his back and swung his sword with all his might.
Cheaeng!
The blow that seemed to tear his grip made me let out a groan.
What Rius saw was something like a purple and black whip.
‘Magi?!?!’
Rius took a deep breath after deflecting the black magic whip.
At the moment when I responded to the whip, someone came right in front of me.
Someone plunged a knife into Rius’ shoulder.
Pooh wow!
“Aaaaah!!”
Widely! He grabbed the hand holding the sword and prevented it from stabbing deeper.
Rius glared at the unidentified attacker hidden in the darkness of the night.
“Who, who…”
Not an assassin.
It wasn’t even a new third party.
He tightened his hands to drive his knife deeper. He was a handsome boy with white hair.
He…
“… Hayen?”
Hayen grinned at Rius’ foolish voice.
“How dare this fledgling call my name?”
