Chapter 116 – To the Devil’s Street – 1
The Rufus I remember wasn’t this careful.
My level is on par with him… No, it means that it has risen to the point where you can look up to it.
It’s safe to say that since Bardia’s naked walk, she’s come to have a perverted presence worthy of her brand power.
“Bior was right. You were a great teaching assistant.”
“It’s sudden.”
“Aren’t you already seeing clearly? The reason for my visit is at least.”
“It’s okay if it’s in the past. I didn’t know that I would grow up like this.”
“You’re humble. Now there’s no trainer who doesn’t know your name on the Street of the Beast, and you’re known to other streets.”
“…”
Another street.
I was too short on information about other streets.
Wouldn’t Rufus know more? Because he was a teaching assistant who was with Master in his heyday…
Let’s not be impatient.
Your opponent hasn’t played all of their cards yet.
I know very well how dangerous it is to say only what I want at a time like this.
“That’s how it is. Now it’s calm.”
“When you get to the top, sometimes the futility precedes the joy.”
When I enslaved Verdia Chartreuse, I tasted an unearthly happiness.
I can do whatever I want on these streets.
I had such power and power in my hands.
However, as Rufus said, when you achieve everything, you will find futility.
When that happens, I…
I caught Elizabeth and devoted myself to training.
She straightened her loose mind and set out to find her next married woman.
Rufus saw right through my condition, but he didn’t show it.
“It’s nonsense…
If someone hears it, they’ll point fingers at me as worrying about being full.”
“There’s nothing to hide. It’s no secret that boredom comes to a man who has accomplished feats no one has ever done before.”
“How can you be sure?”
“Because I’ve been through it. Me too, Bior too.”
“…”
“How about a life where everything is fulfilled just by being at home? It must be boring.”
“It’s a complete life. Do you think I’m going to throw it away for a married woman I haven’t eaten yet?”
“Isn’t that right? Milfhunter.”
“…”
Sharp…
It seemed that he could no longer hide his inner feelings.
“You are a beast of prey that chases your prey. Sitting on a throne is fitting, but resting like that… Wild instincts wriggle.”
“Yes. I am looking for a new challenge.”
“Ariela Raven.”
I was thrilled.
That name came out of Rufus’ mouth.
Ariella Raven…
Even just thinking about that world’s best mamma pain, my heart beats as if it were running fast.
Just thinking about that female makes me… It becomes unbearable.
What if I didn’t say I fell in love with this?
“How did you know I was targeting Ariella Raven?”
“Through my old friend.”
“…Master.”
“Isn’t this woman like your first love?”
I think it’s a little different from first love…
It’s true that I’m obsessed with Ariella.
“Do you have anything to say about Ariella Raven?”
“Even if you’re going to leave right away, you don’t know anything about Ariella Raven and the streets.
I’ll tell you everything I know I’d like to use that as a token of friendship.”
The gift you gave me at the door was bait.
Rufus also wanted to talk alone…
It is said that crows watch over everything in this city.
Adding to the information I learned, Ariella is the Eye of the Emperor and watches over everything in the city.
Having a ruthlessly strong emperor’s soldiers is a bonus.
You know better than anyone how dangerous it is to talk about such a woman.
“Good.”
I accepted Rufus’ motion for reconciliation.
In front of the cause of breasts, I decided to bury the trivial ill feelings.
Up to this point, it can be said that everything went exactly as Rufus intended.
Does not matter.
“How much do you know about the four generations?”
“I know as much as others. I don’t know the details.”
“I’ll have to start from there. Did you hear that the 4 generations rule Isil by district?”
“Yes. I heard from Master.”
“All four generations compete with each other to be favored by the emperor.”
Rivalry…
In other words, they do not cooperate with each other.
Then something a little strange happened.
“I recently saw the Graces preparing supplies to send to Devil’s Street.”
“Not everyone wants to compete. The Chartreuse family maintains friendly relations with other families, while ruling the streets without problems, earning the Emperor’s trust.”
“It’s gentle.”
The character of Vatineau and Verdia is clearly revealed.
“Each family thinks differently, but they all want the Emperor’s favor.”
“What kind of person is the emperor? He is said to have been alive for hundreds of years…”
“It’s literally hundreds of years old. His Majesty has been alive ever since he built this city to manage aliens.”
“Are you immortal?”
If I asked her if she was her grandmother, she gave up because she thought she would be punished.
“Your Majesty is immortal. He never ages, never dies…
He is the one who has led the empire for nearly a thousand years. Paradise and cities are all systems created to deal with aliens.
The corpse wandering around as a shell is like the aftereffects of the war with aliens.”
“Okay. Sorry for asking an irrelevant question. Please keep talking.”
“It’s not like there’s no relationship. If you’re going to talk about the four generations, you can’t avoid talking about His Majesty the Emperor.”
If the creation of this city was the will of His Majesty the Emperor…
I thought that the concept of the city becoming an assistant school might be a by-product of the war.
Even after hundreds of years have passed, if hundreds of people wander into the city every day, it is because a system is needed to prevent alien groups from forming, and sometimes to eliminate them.
That is the training city, Isil.
There are people like me who, in order to survive in this city, capture aliens and enslave them even though they are aliens.
It can’t be said to be humane, but it was controlling aliens very effectively.
There could have been many more terrifying ways.
Spraying poison gas around the place where the gate occurs…
The emperor didn’t like it that much.
However, it has absolute power enough to create a city like this.
“To the nobles, His Majesty the Emperor is like a god.”
“For many years, those who oppose the Emperor’s reign have become hard to find.
Except for the aliens who always visit Isil with the attitude of an invader.”
“Aggressor’s attitude…”
“This is enough for the introduction, let’s get to the main topic.”
Rufus’ eyes seemed to be testing me.
It’s like asking if you can leave after hearing what I’m going to say from now on…
“There are very few people from other worlds who come through the gate with the power to threaten the world.
We call them… “Destroyer”…”
“Ariela told me.”
“You heard it yourself? Mrs. Raven.”
“Because I was suspicious too. I got caught up once… And we talked.”
Yes, even then…
Ariella was at work. If I hadn’t been suspected of being a disruptor, I wouldn’t have met her again.
No, from the very beginning…
Ariella was not interested in human beings.
Am I a collapser or not?
That was all she was interested in.
“The Collapser is the only threat to the Emperor. The four generations prove their loyalty by catching and offering such a Collapser.”
“That’s how to win the emperor’s favour.”
“Ariela Raven is the woman who dedicated the most Collapsers to the Emperor.”
It was creepy.
If Rufus’ words are true, Ariella is not a cute existence like a “Lady who hates aliens”.
She is a hunter
He is a powerful man who captured more collapsers than anyone else in this city and handed them over to the emperor.
“From the beginning of her latex girl… No, her emperor capture team didn’t follow her, right?”
“That was approved by His Majesty, who was impressed with Mrs. Raven’s performance.”
“Oh my gosh…”
Then…
Originally, the latex girl was catching and throwing the “Collapser” Without help?
“It’s not that Mrs. Raven stood out as her watcher from the beginning. She was rather famous on her husband’s side.”
“Husband… Oh, she’s dead now?”
“Exactly life and death unknown.”
“It’s unknown?”
Fuck this!
Are you saying you don’t know when you’ll be back?
When her husband comes back, he’ll have tons of sex with Ariella!
Her jealousy seemed to make her head go crazy.
She wasn’t even my woman in the first place, but it was a development that my fate could not forgive.
“I know you’re embarrassed when your husband comes back, but calm down.”
“After…”
“It’s correct to assume that she actually died. She was a powerful person who was praised for being called the Sword Saint, but
Third Collapser… Because I didn’t come back from the second expedition to subdue the “Nine-tailed fox”.”
“The Third Collapser…”
“Nine tailed fox”… ?
“Until the fate of the Sword Saint Kurslay was unknown in the Battle of the Nine Tailed Fox, the name Ariella was only known as the Sword Saint’s pretty wife.”
“Has your husband disappeared and changed?”
“She became a nightmare for the people of the other world. She made a name for herself as a watcher and was favored by the emperor. There are even rumors that she obtained the secret art of her blood relatives.”
“Consanguinity?”
“It must be an unfamiliar concept to you, a foreigner.”
Rufus paused for a moment, as if choosing his words.
Even a country that doesn’t know anything has picked up something.
The engraving technique I use is also called ‘Blood Art’, a technique of a blood relative.
“To put it simply, the clan that inherits the blood of His Majesty the Emperor is called [Blood relative].”
“Aren’t you from the imperial family?”
“It’s because His Majesty’s blood has special power. Even if chosen by His Majesty, they can become blood relatives. There is a saying that they will never grow old or die like Her Majesty… There is no way to know if the rumors are true.
Except for those who have had direct audiences with His Majesty.”
“…How many Collapsers did Ariella catch before that?”
“Twenty-nine in 480 days. It is no exaggeration to say that it is thanks to her that no disaster has happened to her city since the beginning of the Three Collapsers.”
What a feat.
At a younger age than Verdia, she knew why people feared and respected her.
Ariella is such a great person.
To the point where I feel guilty imagining touching her skin…
“I thought she might be a little scared, but the look in her eyes makes her look like an innocent child.”
“Because I made a promise to Master.”
It is an unforgettable promise even in death.
“If you talk about this much, you’ll realize how absurd it is for her to train her, who is her watcher, her judge, and her punisher in this city…”
“Rufus. Help me. You know something that might help?”
Haha!”
Rufus laughed heartily.
Just like the Master of the day.
“I’m ashamed of the past for not recognizing your beastly nature.”
“How would you like to reach Ariella?”
“Ariela is so busy ruling her demon town that she won’t have time to meet you.”
“Is Devil’s Street such a tough place to rule?”
“Gate.”
“Gate…?”
“The gate that people from another world come through. Even the gate has a level. Depending on that level, you can predict the level of people from another world who come through.”
“Then…”
“Devil’s Street contains the most dangerous gate in the city.
That’s why hunting for aliens is the most active and scary place.”
If there is a practical risk level for each zone…
This also explains why the city was deliberately divided into four districts.
I remembered the scenery I saw when I went out with Kren the other day.
If the division of the city was just for convenience, then it is impossible to explain why each district was blocked by a wall.
What if the difficulty changes every time you cross a wall?
Then it makes sense.
The Street of the Beast is a place where only the weakest level aliens appear in the city…
I was also one of those aliens.
However, since the gate I passed was randomly generated, I am not sure if I am included in this hypothesis yet.
Because I have enough of the conviction that I am a collapser.
“Rufus. Does that mean that the battle to win the Emperor’s favor is still going on in the Devil’s Street?”
“That’s right.”
Damn it!!
I was complacent. I was complacent… !
If I lead the teaching assistant trend, Ariella has no choice but to meet me?
I feel sorry for myself that I have been sitting here thinking about such things!
This route is helpful when meeting a MILF who can’t control her sexual desire as she has been doing so far.
However…
At this rate, we can’t attack Ariella!
Because Ariella has no vanity. Because she will be full of thoughts of taking revenge on the alien who killed her husband!
Then…
What if I catch the collapser first and negotiate?
“Looks like you’ve got your answer.”
“Yes.”
“I can’t let the friend I just made die, so I’ll advise you. Go from relatively weak distances and gather high-level aliens to challenge.”
“No. I’m thinking of going to Devil’s Street.”
“What did you hear about what I said so far?”
“After hearing the story, I’m convinced. No one knows if things will stay the same as long as we steadily gather our strength.”
“That’s it, but…”
Ariella is fighting a disintegrator.
It would be nice if her ability continued to surpass the Collapsible, but what if it didn’t work at some point?
What if she, like her husband, ends up being eaten by a disintegrator he can’t handle?
It is a very optimistic observation to hope that the gate that has not been closed for hundreds of years will one day close.
It is a crisis that will surely come someday.
Also, there is a possibility that her husband, whose life or death is unknown, will return…
I couldn’t delay any longer.
“I’ll go. To Devil’s Street.”
