Chapter 56 – You Should Have Said That Beforehand.
“Do you guys know how to play chess?”
As he sent Zeke behind his back, he hinted.
“…”
Guys don’t answer. While closely examining my behavior, I only held the weapons I had tucked away in my robes.
However, the reason I ask these questions is not just to buy time.
“It’s the same as a pawn. What you do Well, you know what.”
I just wanted to say this.
Pawns act as pawns on the chessboard. The most basic piece that barely moves one space at a time.
In my eyes, the appearances of these guys and the pawn, the lower end of Blackjack, overlapped.
A pawn has one special ability, except on the first turn it can move two squares.
‘As expected, isn’t it similar?’
It is a basic piece of equipment that moves two squares without fear at first and moves one square after another, only to lose its life in the end.
“It doesn’t matter what we are. If you can be of any help to him, that alone is an honor.”
“Yeah what. There was a time when I thought so too.”
After saying that, the guys kicked off the ground all at once and jumped up.
Seeing how they run while occupying the front, left and right, and even the upper space, they are much better than the Wonderland guys.
I suddenly remembered the conversation I had with Elfriede.
– The phone is really useless. Isn’t it?
– But aren’t you using it well?
– It is truly useless to fulfill its value only if it is ‘utilized’. No fun. I like things that do my best on my own. That’s fun
-What would be an example?
Then, the corner of Elfriede’s mouth went up. She said as she toppled and pushed my king down with her fingertips.
-Well, maybe it’s about you.
A brief recap is here. I murmured as I watched the blackjack guys who jumped right in front of me.
“Yes, the phone is really useless.”
◈
In the fight that followed, I only moved in search of the best move.
If I saw a gap, I put a bullet in Trivi, and if it was a false gap that encouraged me to enter, I calmly waited for the next situation.
Also, I protected all those who cowardly attacked my party.
Even though many guys rushed at it, the injured only appeared on their side, and only then did the guys look a little kinder.
The guys who looked like captains spoke while catching their breath.
“It looks like I will have to retreat. Stronger than I thought. Prioritize passing information to the top.”
In this respect, there is a slight difference from Wonderland.
If Wonderland is faithful to their emotions in a bullish way, then loyalty is the top priority for these guys.
“Half of it buys time and the other half goes to report to the top right away.”
“What can I report?”
“That the crow and Florian turned Blackjack into an enemy. For now, just conveying that much is enough.”
Well, I wasn’t the one who let them go according to their plans. The idea itself was great, but should I say that the plan itself was arrogant?
Thinking of making a living with only half the time.
I told Alice and Cheshire.
“If I defeat those guys, you guys will take on the role of confirming kills.”
Humans are weak creatures who lose their will to fight even if only a small part of their body is missing, but the story changes if they have loyalty close to madness.
Therefore, when dealing with these guys, confirmation kills were necessary.
“Report in the next life. Hey guys.”
While muttering that, I ran towards them.
Since they were already starting to feel nervous, the gap was much bigger than before.
Swinging a hammer to smash his shoulder, triggering a trivi to pierce his ankle, and so on, one after another made him close to being unable to fight.
Chow-!
The sound of bullets passing through the body and spraying blood.
There was no time to check what kind of expression the owner of the body was making. If you’ve done one, you’ve done the next, and if you’ve done the next, you’ve moved on to the next.
“Ei-i-i-ik!”
On the way, one of them aimed at Ellis. She had tossed her chair in a hurry.
Expression of the architecture here. I used telekinesis to make the chair stop in mid-air.
“Ellis!”
“Neeet!”
After calling her name, Elise calmly drew out her spell.
The explosion technique, which consists of 12 strokes of red lines, intricately weaves its own circuit and then detonates it with Elise’s pure mana.
Kwaah-!
“Aagh!”
The chair explodes and sharp pieces of wood rush towards the enemies. This was a pretty good joint.
Now there are only three guys left.
Poo-!
I swung the hammer horizontally in my right hand.
One person who was hit in the head flew to the side, collided nicely with the guy next to him and rolled on the floor amicably.
“Whoa.”
I gathered the blood that had been scattered on our party, the blood on the hammer, and sprinkled it on the last remaining one.
This ability, originally supposed to be used for architecture, could be applied in this way as well.
Despite all the blood in this space, the guy showed a calm attitude. Eyes that don’t even blink stare at me.
“You are strong, Florian.”
“I knew from the beginning. You must have known now.”
“Heh heh… “
The boy laughed lightly.
“The strong guy ends up working under him. It is similar to the fact that the sun rises in the sky. If our death proves your strength, that alone is enough for us to do our part. We were useful.”
I laughed because it was absurd.
“So you are stupid. I warned you from the beginning. If he had believed the warning, no one would have had to die. You have to be beaten and killed to understand.”
Phut! Phut! Paaang!
Trivi fired three shots. Despite aiming for three difficult-to-avoid trajectories, the guy managed to dodge well.
“Die aaaaa!”
In the meantime, they even fought back.
The weapon he wields is a dagger imbued with ominous purple mana. As he hit it with a hammer, deep inside he was amazed at how fast it was.
After deciding that my defenses were forever impenetrable, he changed his target. The target this time was Cheshire.
I quickly threw the hammer at Cheshire and handed it to him.
“Your body protects itself with this!”
“Nyan!”
Visor! Visor!
Then, pretending to attack Cheshire this time, he turned toward Elise. I threw a trivi at Alice.
“Keep shooting with this. Don’t approach me!”
“Yes, yes, four!”
This moment when everyone can take care of themselves and protect themselves. Now all that’s left is for me to put a stop to that guy’s breath.
Yeah, that’s all that’s left…
‘Is there anything left in my hand?’
What to do with a weapon what to do with a weapon
I looked around and my eyes met Zeke, who was sitting on a broom floating in the air and weighing the scales.
When I grinned, Zeke was a little embarrassed.
A look that says, “Could it be?” Unfortunately for her, she was right.
“Whoup!”
Leg strength was assisted with mana. After jumping very high, he snatched the scale.
“Oh, oh no! Not as good as that scale!”
“Okay.”
He wielded the scale like a dagger and finished the fight with his opponent.
Every time there was a clan, a clan, a spark exploded and something in the room shattered.
But it wasn’t long before the tide turned in my favor.
It was natural. If you only judge by rank, I’m a senior for a while.
“…!”
The moment the scale’s arms fell off, the moment when only the pillar remained and became a single dagger. The boy’s eyes widened.
The eyes of those who have intuited death. I don’t hate those eyes.
“What a damn bird… “
Before he could even finish his words, I pushed the scale pole into his chest as hard as I could.
Heck, at the same time the guy spits out blood.
In that state, he pushed it all the way to the wall.
“Hey, heck! Keoheouk… “
How many guys can resist when their bodies are pierced? There should be, but that wasn’t this guy.
The pupils of the body, which were dragged helplessly all the way to the wall, lose focus in an instant.
This guy’s calmness was not a calmness born of instinct, but just a well-trained calmness.
The proof is that his face is turning pale with fear in this situation.
“Big… Ugh, ugh… Big, big… “
“Why do you want to live because you feel like you’re going to die again?”
I twisted the scale pole stuck in the body of the guy struggling to live.
The sound of his intestines bursting and his breathing stopped.
The moment when victory became certain. That moment when he nodded once towards Cheshire and Alice.
The moment when I threw the scale, which has now become nothing more than a lump of scrap metal, on the floor without thinking.
“That’s my unique ability aaaaa!”
Zeke’s scream hit my ears.
…You should have said that beforehand.
