Chapter 81 – Rudy
‘Dancing with wolves’ quietly approaches Maika and unties the cloth covering his mouth.
It was a dirty look, mixed with dirt and saliva that flowed from the corners of its mouth.
It can’t be helped since I’ve been stuck on the ground with a gag on for days, but I naturally frown.
As she sends her contemptuous glances, Mika, who was averting her gaze, exclaims in a huff.
“Boss! Boss, how could this be…
Entrusting the lives of subordinates to such unknowing bastards!
Think of the times we spent together, huh?”
“You and I are their prisoners, Mika.
No matter how they treat us, it’s none of my business to tell them what to do.
And I don’t want to hear anything about loyalty from you, a traitor.”
“Hey, you bitch!
What are you saying, as a boss, to punish a traitor? That expression you made earlier!
I’ve seen it all!
This year, like a prostitute, I sold your body to that dog Psycho.
‘Dancing with Wolves’ kicks Micah in the face.
The hard part of the sole of his boot crushes his eyelids.
Mika screams at her, then she closes her mouth and she whispers in his ear.
“Don’t insult him.”
“What the fuck…”
A chill runs through Mika’s body.
He looked into the eyes of ‘Dances with Wolves’ and realized that things were very wrong.
When looking at her subordinates, I can’t find something warm that I always felt in the corner of her eyes.
I had never thought of a person who could look at his subordinates with such cold eyes.
Had the weak part of her heart broken away?
That’s the look she gave me as she shot her enemy.
“Boss, boss! I beg you like this, please save me!
It’s my fault! I won’t do that again.
I will live kindly in a remote place for the rest of my life!
Huh? Please save my life!”
“Mika…”
Mika desperately begs to save her life.
In ‘Dances with Wolves’, after calling his name once, he unties the ropes that bound his hands and feet.
A light of hope that she might be able to live passes Mika’s eyes, but that light is blown away as soon as she hears her words.
“Wake up. Fortunately, the left hand is broken, and you are right handed.
A continuation of the duel would not be impossible.
At least you wouldn’t want to be shot while lying down, would you?
Stand up and fight until the end.”
“Two, boss…!”
“I have to tell you one thing, though.
I’m sorry for all this time, Mika.
Because of my lack of ability, because we couldn’t do anything.
Everyone must have fallen into despair.
If not, you would…”
‘Dances with Wolves’ swallows the last words.
She has three pistols stuck to her belt thanks to Kang Ji-ah recovering two of her pistols Mika previously stole from her.
After lowering her eyes for a moment, she releases a pistol from her belt and throws it at Mika’s feet.
“Pick it up.”
“Boss, it wasn’t like this before.
You cared for your subordinates!
Think back to when we first formed the gang, and the drinks we had with the people!
What did you do to that man?!
Please come back to normal!”
“You can’t put magic on bullets, so I won’t defend my body with magic for fairness.
Attack with whatever weapon you have at your disposal.
Of course you can use your magic.
If it moves, it becomes a signal.
I’ll move after you.”
“Boss!”
“Pick it up! Mika…”
The words of the two draw a parallel line to the end.
‘Dancing with wolves’ tells the rules of the duel, then shuts the mouth tightly.
Only her red eyes are visible under the brim of her pressed cowboy hat.
Cold sweat runs down Mika’s dusty face as she catches her breath.
After staring at ‘Dances with Wolves’ for a long time, he suddenly smiles.
“Ah, boss, are you kidding me?
We’re allies, how can we shoot each other?”
“…”
“You’re scary, boss. Let go of your expression!
Put away this gun too.
I know you’re joking, but you really have no intention of shooting, right?
You’re just trying to scare me.”
“…”
“So boss…
Uh! Hey bro, what are you doing behind the scenes?”
Mika’s expression, which had been laughing single-single, suddenly changes.
He shouts, pointing at her behind the back of ‘Dances with Wolves’.
Isn’t the older brother the only princess in this place?
It was the moment when ‘Dances with Wolves’ slightly turned their attention.
Mika’s eyes glow.
“This fucking bitch…
Aaaaa?!”
Gunshots rang out.
The moment Mika turned her gaze away from ‘Dances with Wolves’ in a frenzy and tried to steal her pistol by drawing her magic all over her body.
‘Dancing with wolves’, a belated move, drew her pistol with her red eyes shining.
It happened even before Mika’s magic was activated.
The fired bullet penetrates Mika’s right abdomen and is lodged in the ground.
Mika stirs the air around her a few times with her arms outstretched as if to squeeze the sky before collapsing backwards.
“Ouch… It hurts…
Aaaaa…”
Gongju-in, who was watching the series of scenes from behind, blows a whistle to express her admiration.
‘Dances with Wolves’ pulls out a gun and shoots much faster than before.
It was to the extent that it was difficult to follow even the princess with her eyes.
Magical power flowing smoothly through her body pulsates beautifully.
It is a stable movement without a single point of disturbance.
Did you overcome the big shock and achieve spiritual growth?
Even as a wizard, she moved up a notch.
“With her intestines ruptured and her left hand broken, she can’t even stop the bleeding…
Soon the beasts who smelled the blood will come.
At least, die painfully, reflecting on your comrades who died because of your betrayal.”
“Oh ah … This, this year …
Dogs! Aww!”
‘Dances with Wolves’ turns her pistol, which is still smoking, into the holster and retrieves her pistol, which she had thrown right next to the fallen Micah.
Behind her, Mika’s desperate screams are heard, but she pretends not to hear.
Leaving behind the last appearance of her ruler, who was her subordinate before her, and heading to the side of the princess.
The princess welcomed her with her fishy smile.
…
After a short duel.
The princesses and the party really leave, leaving only Mika behind.
The clatter of her horses’ hooves gradually recedes.
Micah slumped over a pool of blood from a hole in her belly, letting out her moans.
“Oh, you bastards…
I have to somehow stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding… Uh…”
He somehow tries to press the wound with both of his hands, but his broken left arm doesn’t work as intended.
From the front if you block the back. If you block the front, blood will flow from the back.
Both holes cannot be blocked.
To make matters worse, a disturbing sound comes to Mika’s ears in her despair.
Soft rock! Sussuk!
The sound of something swift and leggy running on the sand.
I heard it the day before.
That’s what the spider beasts that had taken over the Deadman Gang’s hideout heard as they fled!
Mika’s face turns earthy.
“No no!
I’m the one who shouldn’t die here!
Save someone!”
Squeak!
The spider that jumped out first answered Mika’s desperate call.
It snaps its hairy legs and clinks its pointed snout.
As if that was a sign of something, in the next moment, the spiders rushed out and surrounded Mika.
In an instant, his surroundings are filled with gray creatures.
“Hee-hee…”
Mika, terrified, let out a shriek.
The spiders who saw it made a careful decision.
I mean, it’s a very easy prey.
The reason why the spiders didn’t attack him right away is because of the memory of losing a lot of his comrades to ‘Dances with Wolves’.
However, even for those who are careful and vigilant, the current Mika was just a table well-prepared for eating.
The numerous eyes of the spiders are filled with gluttony.
Key profit!
“Aaaaagh!”
The spiders attack Mika with bizarre noises, and what should be his final scream sounds.
However, no matter how much Mika waits with her eyes closed, the spiders do not attack.
“…?”
Feeling strange, Maika blinks her eyes open, and sees an unbelievable sight.
The whole place was a purple cloth.
Mika barely remembered that they were the blood of a spider beast.
All the spiders, which should have been more than a hundred, are dead.
It seems that a huge palm has pressed them down.
Fear runs down Mika’s spine, even though she saved her life by reviving the knight.
“I found it, traitor man.”
“You, you…”
Mika is terrified even more when a woman on a flying plank speaks to her out of nowhere.
I am terribly afraid that a young woman in her black hoodie and baggy trousers, at best twenty years of age, is responsible for this devastation.
Even though it must be the ‘later stage’ that Mika has been eagerly waiting for, I can’t help but be genuinely happy.
“Were you with them?
What the heck it was shot
Did you hear that you’re a traitor?”
“Oh… That’s right. Save me.
The wound is too bad. I will die soon…”
In fact, Mika’s consciousness is slowly fading.
Even the force she held onto her mind was now at her limit.
No, his stamina has already reached its limit for a long time.
He’s just holding on with the conviction that he doesn’t want to die.
Rudy, who was begged by Mika, who threw everything out of fear, said.
“Why me?”
“What, what…?”
Rudy sits cross-legged on a plank and looks down at the fallen Mika.
She smiles sadistically
“They were driven to a dead end.
I don’t need you anymore.”
“…”
Mika doesn’t even have the energy left to answer.
Mika gasped for breath with a hiss and heard her horses hooves pounding around her.
It sounds like it could be dozens of people.
The only way to bring in this amount of people around here is to bring in the residents of a mining town that passed by a while ago.
Somehow, I thought the chase was too late, so I was doing this.
“I… This person is going to die.
If you don’t mind, I’ll take you to the village and treat you…”
“Don’t meddle, make a good encirclement.
What are you going to do if one is empty and misses?
I’m here to clear the gang for you guys, so listen to me.
Or is that… Chief? Does he want to die like him?”
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
I’ll go back to my seat…!”
The sound of horses hooves gathered in Rudy’s cold voice dispersed like cockroaches.
When it was quiet again with just the two remaining, Rudy continued.
“In the first place, Mister, did you really think that you could live by selling the organization?
To the aristocrat, you’re also an annoying gang member.
Have you ever seen a western movie? A character like you always dies in a place like that.
If they hadn’t shot you, I would have dealt with it.”
“…”
Mika’s breathing gradually quiets down.
The momentum of the blood flowing from her wound also weakened little by little.
Her heart, which is supposed to pump blood throughout her body, is not functioning properly.
After looking down at Mika for the last time, Rudy threw a mocking remark and left the place.
“Next time, don’t sell your comrades, mister.
Well then.”
“…”
Left alone with her, Mika’s body cools down.
The blood from his body mixes with the purple bodily fluids of the beasts, creating an unpleasant color.
Mika took one last long breath and stopped moving.
