Chapter 133 – The Magic City and the Great Detective
“We will do that. Fortunately, we are also in a situation where we have finished preparations for subjugation of the Kowloon Fortress. Therefore, tomorrow, as an escort for Detective Charlotte, we will carry out a subjugation operation. As an urgent report, we have obtained permission from the president and superiors, so do not worry .”
Inspector Lestras, who hardened his expression, calmly explained the situation to Seong-il, and Seong-il nodded his head and thought.
‘Tomorrow will be the end.’
Next day.
Seong-il asked her Charlotte to temporarily leave her on the pretext of supporting the operation to wipe out 『The Club』. She dissuaded her, worrying about her holy day, but after convincing her that she wouldn’t need her role anyway since Illina and many of her officers would escort her Charlotte, she said she wanted to join the cleanup operation. Strongly requested.
In the end, unable to break her Seong-il’s stubbornness, Charlotte looked at him with her worried eyes and agreed.
“Hmm… This way?”
“That’s right. Don’t worry and just follow me.”
After wearing magic masks to hide their identities, the two move to Logan’s treasure house. Seong-il expresses doubts about Yuftesia’s plan to infiltrate through the Kowloon Fortress underground waterway, but she moves on after bruising him as if she is unreasonably suspicious.
“Whoa… The smell…”
“Huh? There’s a breathing device in the mask. Use that or something.”
“What? Yes?!”
Surprised by the unexpected advice, Seong-il tries to use the mask as Euptesia told him. Then he feels the stench disappear and his breathing becomes easier.
‘Are you almost omnipotent? This mask.’
The more you know, the more Seong-il admires the effect of the magic mask. He vows to take full ownership of the mask by paying the customs duty, and pursues Euphthesia.
“Hmm… That’s about it.”
Euphthesia moved to a specific location in the maze-like sewer system. She examines the ceiling and fires a rope gun to suspend a rope from the ceiling.
“Follow me up!”
After saying that, Euphthesia quietly climbed up the rope. Seong-il quietly follows her.
‘Are you stuck? What are you trying to do…?’
Just when Seong-il had doubts about her Euphthesia’s behavior, she took a tub and a brush from her bosom, smeared the liquid in her tub on the brush, and began to paint the wall.
“What are you doing… Huh? Could that be?”
“Yeah~ You gave it to me. Don’t you remember?”
Perhaps Euphthesia’s actions as she applied the ‘fluffy paint’ she had given her. With that action, Seong-il could understand why she asked to come to this sealed sewer.
Jjiik! Jjiik!
Due to the mysterious power of the draw item, the thick wall became paper and began to tear. After a couple of coats of paint, the nearly 10m wall is easily pierced without any resistance.
“Hoo…”
And Logan’s treasure chest with all kinds of artworks and gold bars that appeared in front of them. Upon entering the room, Euphthesia begins to cover the hole in the wall using a device that looks like a magic tool.
‘Hmm… Shall I peek at some jewels?’
The moment Seong-il reaches out for her jewelry thinking that way.
“Don’t touch me!”
“!?”
The words of Euphthesia that restrain her own actions, like her demons. Seong-il is taken aback by her words and she stops trying to touch the jewelry.
“It’s enchanted with detection. Those who touch it will notice!”
“Ah…”
Seong-il loses her words at her words and quietly follows her and hides her body in a blind spot in the corner of her room.
How long has it been? After a while, a loud riot is heard from outside the building.
“What…! What!! Intruder!!”
“What about an intruder! It’s an act of public power!! You bastards! Fuck everyone in the head!!”
Etc
All kinds of screams, explosions, and painful moans, while Seong-il was holding his breath nervously at the external turmoil…
“Damn it! Are the kingdom bastards crazy?! But there’s still a few years left in the agreement with the Empire, so why the hell…!”
A man with a rough impression who entered the treasure house swearing like that. He keeps swearing and takes a few jewels and gold ingots from the treasure house, puts them in his bag, and mumbles while carrying them on his back.
“Whoa… First of all, this should be enough to run away and hold on for a while… If it’s not enough, it’s enough to get it from another hideout… I guess I’ll just have to take ‘that’.”
After muttering that, Logan approaches the large landscape painting hanging in the corner of the room, holds the necklace hanging around his neck in his hand, and starts muttering.
“O demon of great desire, thy servant calls thee…”
Logan’s spell, which looks evil even at first glance. Seong-il, nervous at Logan’s muttering, glances at Euphthesia.
Looking at Seongil’s gaze, Euphthesia shakes her head lightly and gives a signal to wait a little longer.
OK…
Surprisingly, a bizarre phenomenon occurs in the painting, and it changes to look like ‘real’. And Logan casually goes into the painting.
‘…Shouldn’t I be chasing after him?’
Seong-il is worried that Logan might be escaping with the magic hidden in the painting. However, Euphthesia didn’t care and just waited patiently.
‘Hmm… If he’s relaxing like that, there must be a reason.’
Seong-il waits calmly, thinking that there must be a reason for the actions of a competent Euphthesia, not someone else. Indeed, it wasn’t long before Logan came back from the painting, and in his hand was a black jewel the size of a fist.
‘…Those are the artifacts of the evil god.’
Seong-il hardened his expression at the appearance of the artifact he was aiming for. She calmly looks at Euphthesia. Then she looks at her holy day and gives her a signal with a light nod of her head.
At the same time as her signal, Seongil rushes at Logan like lightning.
“What…! What is it!? You guys!”
“What is it? A detective who came to punish you bastard.”
“Cheeky!”
Logan takes out the magic wand in his arms and tries to aim at Seong-il saying that. However, Seong-il exerts his haste magic imprint for the first time in a while, doubles the speed of the body, and then maximizes his inner strength and begins to spread the bankruptcy of the priesthood like a gale.
“What… What!!”
Logan is frightened by Seongil’s movements that are not human. He uses a magic wand to spray Seong-il with evil powers.
‘It’s worth avoiding.’
Unlike the colorless shock wands used by the officers, Logan’s magic emanates evil black magic. It was an evil magic that seemed unusually powerful at first glance, but unlike the shock stick, Seongil began to avoid it without difficulty because it was visible.
“You freak!!”
Logan, frightened by the superhuman movements of such a saint, constantly uses magic.
‘The activation duration of Haste is 5 minutes. I must kill that guy inside.’
Thinking so, Seong-il begins to show Logan the flashy beginnings of the bankruptcy priesthood.
“Right!! Right!! Right!!! You freak!!”
Logan fires the magic wand as if desperate, but Seong-il dazzles Logan’s eyes with his bizarre steps and starts to approach him with strides.
Frightened by the approach of such a holy day, Logan takes out a knife from his bosom and starts brandishing it at him.
“You bastard.”
Logan’s hand movements, which, at best, looked like ordinary rogue 1 knife moves. Seong-il laughs at Logan’s hand movements, lightly evades, and then counters.
‘It’s not even the General Protection Act, it’s trash that’s worse than the subordinates brought by the Total Protection Act.’
Seong-il, who thought so, struck Logan’s wrist in an instant, dropped his knife, and unfolded the final cut of the bankruptcy priesthood.
“I’m dying.”
After making the shoulders and head in a straight line, the body rotates by exploding internal energy to a level that is formidable. After that, Seong-il sends Logan a torso slam as if he were to bounce off the body by using his lower body’s inner strength.
Wow!!!!
A sound emanating from Logan is more like a truck hitting a human than a human colliding with a human body.
Aaaaagh!!
Logan collapsed and threw himself into a corner of the wall of the treasure house. Seong-il feels the bankruptcy rights and Haste’s rebound coming at the same time.
‘…Fuck it, I might pass out!!’
Even feeling the rebound of one of the two felt a strong sense of exhaustion, but when the two came at the same time, Seong-il freaked out at the feeling that a tremendous shock would come to his body.
He desperately takes a stamina potion out of his pocket and quickly starts drinking it.
“Gulp! Gulp! Fuhaa…”
Thanks to the stamina potion, Seong-il barely came to his senses. He let out a sigh of relief as he felt the intense exhaustion in his body dissolve.
“Whoa… What was that? That?”
Euphthesia comes close to him and exclaims. He supports the fallen Seongil and then moves to the fallen Logan.
“Uhh… Did you make the porridge…?”
Seong-il’s torso headbutt hit Logan’s body properly and his body was smashed to death. He was dead, his face and chest crushed as if he had been beaten with a warhammer.
“Whoa… He wasn’t a big deal, was he?”
“…Don’t you think your partner is a monster?”
“…”
Seong-il stops arguing with her and picks up a fist-sized black jewel from Logan’s arms.
“…What is this?”
“I don’t know. But just looking at it, it doesn’t look like a normal thing. It looks like it’s cursed…”
“Hmm… But Logan took care of everything else, but seeing that he took care of this one, it looks like a great treasure…?”
“I think so. But it looks like a demonic artifact…”
“Hmm… What should I do? Ownership of this jewel?”
“Hmm… I thought I was hiding something great… Such an evil artifact. Just looking at it makes me feel bad. I don’t need it.
“Really…? What… In that case, I’ll take care of it for now.”
“…That? Really? I guess I’m cursed?!”
“But it doesn’t make sense to leave this here. Seeing that Logan cherishes it, it seems like there’s a way to abuse it, but wouldn’t it be troublesome if his underlings took it and abused it?”
“Well… It could be.”
“Anyway, I’ll take care of this?”
“Okay then~”
Having said that, they packed up some of the treasures in Logan’s vault and started their escape.
They naturally escaped through the underpass dug in 『The Club』 And escaped to the outskirts of Kowloon City Wall. When he thinks he has arrived at a safe place, Seong-il speaks to Euphthesia.
“Huuuuu, I will go back to 『The Club』 And join their group naturally.
“Yes! I’ll go back to the office and pretend I don’t know anything.”
“Yeah! Then… On the way, get this…”
After saying so, her holy day hands her all kinds of treasures that she had packed with her when she escaped.
“Huh… You’ve taken care of a lot.”
“Kuhmm… I need a lot of jewels to make ‘Automata’…”
“Fuhaha… Okay. I’ll take care of this.”
After saying that, Euphthesia took her Holy Day rucksack and left for the Moriarty Detective Office.
As she leaves, Seong-il takes out a black jewel from her bosom and she secretly examines it, thinking about it.
‘…By the way, what the hell is this jewel?’
Seong-il thought so, and she silently tried to identify her item using 『Sensation』.
Reaper’s Soul Stone: A jewel containing a piece of the soul of one of the gods who created the world. It was once a god symbolizing the middle way, but it has fallen and has become an evil god full of malice and desire. It gives the user great pleasure and power, but at the same time, there is a powerful curse that corrupts the user endlessly. Casting a starter spell on a piece multiplies all your stats by 10. (When used, an undisblowjobble corruption curse is activated.)
‘…This is something that should never be used. If I use it, I will become a demon corrupted by desire like Jim Logan.’
‘…But it’s cursed, but how much is the tariff for such a powerful item? Even if I don’t use it, I want to check it.’
“Customs!”
Reaper’s Soul Stone: 10 points
“It’s fucking cheap…”
Maybe it’s because it’s an item with a terribly strong curse? Tariffs were absurdly cheap. For this reason, Seong-il thought about paying her points to buy her items.
‘It’s an item that allows me to make drugs that half ruin the kingdom, so it’s better to put it in my inventory so that no one can rob it. It’s a bit embarrassing, but…’
Seong-il thought so, paid the customs duty on the cursed soul stone and hid it in his inventory.
“Okay… Now that we’ve solved all the problems, let’s go see Charlotte to complete the quest!”
After the downfall of Logan in the original work, he met Charlotte and the main quest ended in 『The Magic City and the Detective』, Seong-il left to meet 『The Club』 And Charlotte who would be there for the first game ending he had been waiting for.
“Great detective!!”
“Ah! Seongil-kun!!”
Charlotte was hanging out with Inspector Lestras at the entrance of 『The Club』. Seongil quickly ran towards him and shouted.
“Are you all right?”
“Yeah! Constable Illina and the rest of the officers kept me safe! Seongil-kun?”
“Ah! I’ve half-killed Jim Logan…”
Then, Charlotte and Inspector Lestras are surprised and ask Seong-il.
“What!? You mean him?!”
To the two who ask him like that, Seong-il begins to spread the lies he has made up.
“Yes. I approached his study pretending to be a VIP member and beat him to half-kill! Just as I was about to sever his lifeline, his men showed up and ran away… Too bad.”
“Ohhh… That’s great though!”
“I didn’t get very far with my face crushed in half! Let’s search!”
At Seong-il’s words, Lestras searched 『The Club』 With a smile on his face, and soon found his corpse in the secret passage he had hidden and the treasure chest.
Nome was beaten mercilessly by someone to death, but the case was closed as he judged that it was probably betrayal by his subordinate.
We have gained a great reputation in the city of Wyndham by exploring the inside of the dangerous 『The Club』, Solving the human trafficking that terrorized the city of Wyndham, and making a key contribution to destroying the notorious Logan faction. .
“Whoops… Finally…!”
Seong-il, holding a smartphone in his room and turning on the Game Master with trembling hands.
‘…Finally cleared the first game!! What kind of reward should I give you…?!’
