Chapter 528 – Bloody Dirge (3)
I know too.
I suggested it, but it was a truly ridiculous operation.
No matter how many restrictions are placed, does it make sense to release the enemy?
Moreover, whether it is an operation or a plan, the risk of failure is considered before execution, and the risk of this operation is the lives of nearly 100 people, including the volunteer corps.
It is truly an ultra risk that far exceeds a high risk, no, it can be considered an ultra risk.
Nevertheless, after lengthy discussions, this operation was passed.
Not because they were all idiots, but because the situation was so frustrating.
If the Romanian government was really related in any way to the Apostle of the Seven Deadly Sins, the target of the raid, we had to assume that we were surrounded in the middle of enemy territory.
It’s a dizzying situation that doesn’t seem strange no matter when or what happens.
That’s why I chose it.
We decided to break through in one direction while we had time, before the enemies strangled us from all directions.
It was from then on.
I started running the simulation assuming the worst move the enemy could make.
A dangerous gamble.
Even though it was an operation carried out after everyone had discussed it, I was the one who proposed it.
So, I am very fortunate so far.
Being imprisoned like this was also one of the situations I simulated.
Pakang!
Quad deuk!
After completely removing the special handcuffs on the wrists of my colleagues, I looked at the surroundings through the bars.
Well, okay.
It was quite loud, but it seemed like I didn’t hear it because it was quite outside.
It also means that it is that far away.
He turns around and massages his wrists, raising the tension of his colleagues as they calmly check their bodies.
“Okay, everyone, relax. “Now is the real beginning.”
That’s it.
A situation in which you are dropped into the middle of enemy territory, guided by the enemy in some way.
It was the limit of what I could imagine at the time.
That means that from now on, we have to improvise and overcome the situation.
That was natural.
What is the structure of the Sanctuary of Blood, the old castle where the true ancestors sleep?
I also don’t know how many enemies there are, so how can I even imagine this far?
Of course, there are still some arrangements left in case of a crisis, but let’s save these.
The female wizard of the raid team asks.
“What are your future plans?”
It’s a plan.
There is nothing long-term, but what needs to be done right now is decided.
“First of all, we have to get the stolen equipment back.”
Retrieving equipment recovered before entering the prison.
“Next, we will seek a volunteer group.”
The next goal is to rescue volunteers who are trapped in a different place than us.
It was a goal as urgent as recovering the equipment.
As long as they are in the hands of the enemy, they will not be able to freely operate.
“The enemy must not know that we have escaped until we rescue the volunteer group.”
“To do that…”
“Let’s gather only the elite and proceed with the search.”
“Are you telling me to pretend that the rest of us are in prison?”
“Yes. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get rid of those who come to visit one by one.”
Why, it feels like a flytrap.
The raiders are huddled together in a narrow prison.
Choose the kids caught in between.
Shin Yu-jeong, Angela, Son Seo-yeon, and finally Juyeon.
“Five people will explore the castle like this.”
“It seems like the selection criteria are very blatant…”
I smile and nod my head in response to a colleague’s question.
That’s right.
I explicitly chose it to suit my taste.
“In this situation, skill is a skill, but your hands and feet must work well together.”
“That…, Right.”
When I said that, no particular noise came out.
In the first place, exploring a castle is a riskier act than acting in a prison.
Even those with a strong sense of justice would have no reason to go out on a limb, right?
When the situation was settled, Yoon Si-hoo, who was in the middle of the attack, raised her hand.
“Senior, is it okay for me and Harin to just stay here?”
“Okay. You are here.”
“Ah…, I understand.”
The guy lowers his raised hand while answering with a regretful tone.
Jin Ha-rin, who was next to him, also looked slightly disappointed.
Did you really want to follow me that much?
But it can’t be helped.
“If I take you all with me, my head will be so empty that I won’t be able to do it. Moreover, since it is an enemy camp, there may be some danger lurking, and the risk is too great to fight while protecting you as well.”
They grew at a remarkable pace and are still growing, but it was still not enough.
In fact, just bringing him here was a very unreasonable task.
If it weren’t for my desire to learn faster, I would have left it in Korea.
Smiling bitterly, he leaves advice and warning to the guys.
“It is good to be confident and strong-willed, but you must be able to distinguish between what you can do and what you cannot do.”
“Yes…”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
That’s right.
It’s really nice that these people understand once you say something.
Turn around and break the incredibly strong lock.
Crack!
A function that is immediately lost due to the enormous grip strength reached just before entering the realm of transcendence.
I carefully open the door and leave, leaving a request to those who stay.
“Please act well.”
“Don’t worry about us, worry about yourself.”
“That’s right. “I will refrain from fighting as much as possible until I get my equipment back.”
“Fighting!”
On the contrary, an outpouring of support.
They say they play with each other, but it seems like all the people around Francis are similar.
“Come on, let’s go.”
I carefully leave the prison with my colleagues.
* * *
Rumbling-
It was definitely sunny weather.
However, soon after getting off the plane, it started to get blurry quickly.
Eventually, a flash of light appears before my eyes, and a pure white ray of light falls between the gloomy sky and the ground.
Kkkwang!
The sound of thunder ringing loudly in my ears.
But it didn’t touch me.
For him now, even noises several times louder than thunder would not bother him.
Because a more terrible scene unfolds before our eyes.
“Ahahaha! Look, master. Did I tell you? “There must be plenty of prey here.”
“…”
Patter
Soon the rain begins to fall.
As if to welcome this, Michelle stretches her arms out to her sides, raises her head toward the sky, and closes her eyes.
“Uhm…, It’s raining at good timing.”
It is washed away by the falling rain.
Blood splattered onto the pitch-black robe she was covered in, flowing from the corpses lying around.
After finishing her shower in a good mood, he approaches her and leads her by holding her hand.
“Oh my, what should I do if you stay still? “You should eat it quickly.”
“…”
The place we arrived at was in front of the nearest corpse.
A faint moan is heard.
“Ugh…, Buy, save…”
Yes.
Although they are on the verge of death, they are still alive.
However, the reason it is described as a corpse is that it will happen soon anyway.
And that too with my own hands.
However, it was difficult to reach out easily.
The last remaining ray of conscience kept holding back his steps and hands.
Michelle did not look at this.
“Why are you hesitating now?” Isn’t it?”
Somewhere a cool tone of voice.
He protested.
“… “The ones I’ve touched so far are people who deserve to die.”
But the people gathered here were different.
Those who were unable to withstand starvation in the face of national ruin and became thieves.
It is clear that hurting and stealing from someone is a great sin.
However, having suffered from hunger once, he was unable to come up with an answer.
Are their sins truly worthy of death?
Before he could answer on his own, Michelle hugged him from behind and whispered.
“Of course, master. “They deserve to die.”
“… Why?”
“As much as they survived by stealing, those who were stolen would have died.”
“… !”
It wasn’t wrong.
They chose to steal for themselves and their families.
Then who were taken away by them?
He would have suffered from even greater hunger and eventually lost his life.
‘Yes, that’s right.’
It’s just as she said.
Those dying at your feet are all human beings who deserve to die.
The reason they decided to become thieves is that they have power.
That’s probably why it was so easy to think about making a living by stealing from others.
Anger rises.
“You probably didn’t even think about the position on the receiving end, you… !”
Because these are the times.
Because I and my family have to survive more than anyone else.
He must have rationalized it that way and never thought about the feelings of the victim who was taken away or the future.
“So let me tell you.”
A tone full of chills.
He took out a dagger from his chest and pointed it at the dying people.
“How did those who were stolen from you die?”
Make sure you feel it clearly too.
Put the knife down.
Phew-!
“Wow… !”
Any hesitation has long since disappeared.
Stab.
Quad!
Stab.
Squeak-
I stab you again.
“Grrrrsh. .”
Breathing ceases one by one.
After killing dozens of people, he wiped the blood from his face under the pouring rain.
Then, without hesitation, he turned around and asked Michelle, who was watching.
“Now tell me.”
“What do you mean?”
“I didn’t come here to kill these little bastards.”
Before coming here, she said.
The end is not far away now.
The person who will open the door to my new beginning is here.
“Say. “Who is that?”
“… !”
She saw.
A fleeting glimpse of laughter pouring from the eyes of a man urging me to answer.
I also felt it.
The pressure that tightened my body so much that it quickly disappeared.
A sense of obedience that naturally blooms.
She answered without further ado.
“The apostle of greed.”
The final sacrifice he must kill and destroy.
“You have to kill him.”
“Apostle of greed…”
A man who pondered that name once.
Son Si-woo immediately turned his back and moved forward without hesitation.
To open the tightly closed future with my own hands.
Michelle silently followed him.
