Chapter 331 – 331. Isolated Mafia (1)
The heavenly ‘punishment’ that caused a powerful gust of wind shook the territory of the dukedom once more due to the appearance of demon beasts on the ground.
The powerful explosion created along with the earthquake that shook the earth was deafening for a while.
[No way…]
Sensing the presence of divine power shot from the sky, the nine-tailed fox was convinced.
Eun-hyeon, who was a human, trained her power by beating her soul in the studio.
That he was finally able to use his demigod’s ability.
[In the end, you really succeeded. Are you really a MiX guy?]
Beating his own soul and creating his own powers.
It was a risky attempt that could have destroyed the human soul if it went wrong, but Eunhyeon succeeded.
Is it the result of the pressure and tenacity to succeed?
Is it the result of the confidence that you will never fail?
As a nine-tailed fox, it was impossible to make a decision, but the pulpit and courage that took the risk and ventured into the creation of the power were a decision that could not be made with sanity.
In any case, the nine-tailed fox is directly witnessing that humans ascend to the ranks of the gods.
[It was really possible…]
In myths and legends, even nine-tailed foxes know the story of a case where a human possesses divine power and becomes a half-god.
However, this is the first time I have personally seen such a case, having spent my life accumulating demonic energy for a long time.
It must have been achieved by overlapping and overlapping various heavenly fortunes, including the support and consideration of the goddess to grow him.
It is Eun-hyeon who has been working hard to get it.
-Miho. I’m thinking of building a country.
-A country where many people can live happily and smile.
-I will create a country where my people are safe from the dangers of demons and beasts, and my people meet the right life and come to an end.
– It will probably be a very difficult road. Still…
-I think I can do it with you.
– In the future… Can you stay with me for the rest of your life?
[… Shit.]
Recalling memories of the past that he did not want to recall, the gumiho spat out curses.
For some reason, Eun-hyeon’s appearance reminded him of a bad relationship in the past.
“Wow…”
And unconsciously, she felt the emotion in Erin’s heart as she stared at Eunhyun floating in the night sky with exclamations of admiration.
“Stylish…”
The infinite affection of a girl mixed with admiration, longing, and affection was felt in the heart of the gumiho.
The nine-tailed fox naturally projected his past into Erin’s gaze at Eun-hyeon.
[Immature. Listen carefully.]
“Huh?”
[A man should meet well.]
“… What?”
Erin, who was staring blankly at Eun-hyeon descending from the sky to the floor, tilted her head at the words of a nine-tailed fox who gave her unexpected advice.
The attitude of the nine-tailed fox, who threw out only what he had to say and went into the depths of the depths, was somehow strange.
“I don’t feel well… ?”
Erin questioned the erratic behavior of the nine-tailed fox, who had disappeared into her own deeper consciousness with her terribly upset expression.
What made her feel bad?
“Erin, let’s go meet the master.”
“Huh. Let’s go. Emilia.”
“I accept your order.”
Erin put her worries about the nine-tailed fox on hold, and for now, made it a priority to move and join Eunhyeon.
◆ ◆ ◆
“Whoa…”
Eunhyun, who landed stably on the floor in the air, checked his condition by caressing her tingling wrist.
“Have you been wearing those handcuffs for too long? It’s kind of tingling.”
[If it hurts a lot, shouldn’t it just heal the wound?]
“Isn’t it kind of like spending your mental energy on such a trivial thing…”
An authority that exerts a fraudulent effect such as ‘time reversal’ is unless it restores a fatal wound or severed defect during battle.
I don’t have much desire to use it.
Every time you use it, it’s because of the fatigue that builds up in your head and mind.
“Just knead it a little and it will be fine.”
[I’m glad it’s not such a big deal.]
While walking down a street at night while talking to Belldandi.
“Hyunaaa!”
Hearing the girl’s voice calling her name from afar and running towards her, Eunhyeon stopped her steps.
In an instant, she closed the distance and as she recklessly jumped into her arms, her speed collided with the girl’s body.
She didn’t avoid it and accepted it head-on, but Eun-hyeon smiled bitterly at the throbbing pain in her chest.
It wasn’t the first time she’d had a girl’s reckless rush, so she chose to just accept it.
“That attack from the sky just now! Did Hyun-i do it?”
“That’s right.”
“It was really cool!”
“Thank you.”
As if it were her own business, the girl who was breathing heavily was excited.
“Then, can we deal with those witches now?”
Eun-hyeon found Emilia running towards her holding Lily, who was relatively slow in her steps, and opened her mouth.
“Let’s move right away.”
If you’re a bit quick-witted, or if you’re an adventurer or knight whose level isn’t low.
There is a possibility that they will find out the existence of Eun-hyeon, who threw the javelin in the air, and come to this place where Eun-hyeon landed.
“Uh? Don’t you deal with those demons? I think Hyun-i just attacked the Witchbeast.”
“Because I needed to change her mood with a preemptive strike.”
With the appearance of the Minotaur, Eun-hyeon’s attack to relieve the soldiers’ hardened bodies and alleviate their fear was successful in a sense.
“They are going to be left to the knights of the duchy and the adventurers of this branch to deal with. Only then can the Brodia Mafia be held accountable under the pretext of the process and results.”
“Are you okay? If someone gets seriously hurt…”
“The level of the monsters raised in the black market is not that strong. What you need to be careful about is the Minotaur. In the first place, if they weren’t monsters that they could handle, how would they have thought of breeding them?”
It was difficult to think that even the Minotaur, the level of the dukedom’s troops and staying adventurers was so low that it could not be captured through proper team-up and coordination.
Even the members of Federica’s Brodia Mafia, who had fought in person, were by no means low-level powers.
“Then where are we going?”
Eunhyun stared at Lily, who arrived late to answer Erin’s question.
“We need to put an end to Lily’s evil streak.”
◆ ◆ ◆
“Shit… ! What happened!”
Federica, who was walking in the woods with her quick steps, lost her cool.
As she continued on her way, escorted by the vacancy, she bit her thumb nails and organized the current situation in her head.
She said, “Her men have lost close to half of her, and she has lost her own money, and now her connections…”
She felt uneasy when she realized that her men, entrusted with handling Eun-hyeon, weren’t coming to report.
‘Perhaps they’ve all been wiped out,’ she said with a hard expression, although she glossed over her words in irritation at the number of vacancies guessing next to her.
As time went on, her anxiety about that possibility amplified.
Furthermore, as the casino hotel collapsed, her business, which was no different from her own money line, was ruined.
Due to the appearance on the surface of the beasts that were bred in the underground black market, the way to ask the Duke of Saviros to take responsibility for this situation and claim compensation for damages was also blocked.
She really is thatched.
“Nothing is going to happen because of that silver-haired boy!”
From the moment she kidnapped Eun-hyeon and dragged her to the abandoned building, everything about her suddenly began to twist.
The more she realized that her position, power, and connections she had built up over a long period of time had been shattered in a single moment, Federica’s rage built up without knowing the end, and her hysteria intensified.
“Whoa…”
Federica suppressed her irritability boiling in her head and looked at her seat vacancy to make her next move.
“It’s stone water.”
“Yes.”
“A while ago, I was talking about that white, snake-like bitch. What? That they may all have been annihilated.”
As soon as I properly recognized the current situation that had descended to a certain extent, what I was concerned about was the story that Gong Seok-soo had talked about earlier, ‘Maybe everyone has been annihilated.’
“It’s just my opinion, but… The man is out of the ordinary.”
“… I know that. Even though his mana was sealed, he couldn’t control it at all. But even so, he’s a clumsy bastard who can’t properly cut off a person’s breath, and I didn’t think he could handle even one of them.”
The subordinates who belonged to his mafia were all flying and crawling somewhere.
After working as an adventurer, there is a guy who suddenly retired and joined the organization.
Being fed up with the work of a soldier or knight in a foreign territory, they flow into the organization.
Whoever they were, they were the ones who earned their living by fighting.
I was sure that even if there could be damage and loss in subduing Eun-hyeon, who was content with keeping her life halfway alive and continuing the fight, it would not fail.
However, it is not uncommon to see a gongsuksu with a blunt and threatening impression frowning.
The fact that the cause of that expression was because of Eun-hyeon, Federica was very concerned.
“It’s not that I didn’t take my breath away because of my clumsy personality. I just didn’t kill him because he didn’t have to.”
It was not a clumsy attitude, such as not wanting to kill people, but an absolute confidence that it was possible to subdue everyone without killing.
“… Isn’t that just an asshole bravado?”
“The man has that skill to prove that it’s not a bluff.”
It was not a fighting method that relied on strength and agility superior to that of ordinary people by strengthening the body through magical powers.
Rather than relying on mana to fight, it is a collection of skills and experience accumulated over a long period of time and effort.
The appearance of Eun-hyeon, who brilliantly reversed the overwhelming difference in physical ability with skill and experience, was unmistakably a ‘martial man’.
“… Stronger than you?”
It is natural that Federica, an ordinary person, could not grasp the movement and state of the unmanned.
“You are definitely stronger than me.”
Gong Seok-su meekly acknowledged the gap between himself and Eun-hyeon.
“… Is that bastard’s purpose to kill me?”
“I do not know.”
Knock up
Federica thoughtfully bit her thumb nail.
If the purpose was to kill herself, she could have disposed of herself in the abandoned building then.
If it didn’t, it means it had a purpose.
Whatever the purpose, it will never be in your favor.
Federica’s realistic mindset of winning when he could win, backing down when he lost, and promising later, worked tirelessly.
“Let’s leave this country.”
After a long thought, Federica came to the conclusion that she had run away.
In a situation where all buildings, money, status, and personal connections were blown away, he had no lingering attachments to the dukedom.
The connection with Duke Saviros could be maintained through threats through Federica’s weakness, but he did not think that he would continue to maintain the relationship with himself, which had weakened even the money and the status of a mafia boss.
Rather, under the pretext of the Witchbeast’s advance on the ground, she must have been anxious to deal with Federica, who knew her own black secret inside and out.
Now was the time to retreat and promise later.
“Dog X Meal… Wait and see I will definitely kill you…”
Federica gnashed her teeth at her hatred for her silver hair, which led to her own downfall.
While repeating her same words, burning her vengeance against Eun-hyeon, Federica and Gong Suk-soo arrived at her mansion.
In the meantime, it was because she was going to leave this estate with all her property she had accumulated in her house.
Awesome!
Upon opening the door and stepping inside her mansion, Federica gave orders to the vacancy.
“Seoksu! You go upstairs…”
“Are you late?”
“… Breath!?”
Sitting on the stairs leading up to the central hall, I spot a man with white hair, waving his hand and smiling as if meeting a good friend.
And even a woman in a maid outfit staring at her with ferocious eyes beside her.
As soon as he heard Eunhyun’s voice, he was so surprised that Federica’s whole body stiffened with goosebumps as if her breath had stopped.
“Uh, how… ?”
