Chapter 613 – Trap

I quit escorting the Helena Liberation Front.
It was because I received a request from Willas, but it was time to quit anyway.
Considering that Nora didn’t stop me from quitting guarding the mine, I think she was planning on telling me to quit in the near future.
The day of Willas’ escort request.
As always, I was leaving the inmate dormitory carrying only a pickaxe and a money bag, but I could see Willas’ face in the first floor lobby.
He approached me with three men.
Perhaps they are Willas’s party.
“Didn’t you ask me to meet you at the mine management office?”
“Haha, we’re going in the same direction anyway, wouldn’t it be better to go together?”
Willas said with a kind smile.
It looks like he was waiting for me.
They were diligent guys.
It seems like Willas was considerate in his own way, but… I wasn’t very happy.
That’s because Willas’ party was in a pepper field.
I’d rather be alone.
There is a loss of motivation from the beginning.
But I am a professional.
Considering the large sum of 50,000 Qi, I decided to endure it.
By the way…
Were there guys like this on the Gamers side?
3 party members with Willas.
I can’t say I know everything about gamers. But… The atmosphere was somehow different from the guys I used to see.
Would you say you don’t understand that these guys are under Willas?
‘Did Willas scout you?’
My doubts soon cooled.
Whether Willas scouted or what he did, it was none of my business.

The western mine was not much different structurally from the eastern mine.
A cliff road that zigzags up a cliff.
Even the entrance to the tunnel that is open in the middle of that cliff road.
Structurally, it had a similar form.
The only difference is.
The size of the mine entrance is slightly larger than that of the eastern mine.
The Willas party didn’t seem to be in a hurry, so they climbed the cliff path without resting for a moment and entered the entrance to a tunnel slightly lower than the cliff’s mid-side.
It was dark inside the tunnel here too.
As the Willas party entered the mine shaft, they took out a lantern.
Lanterns are items used by inmates who have made some money mining magic stones.
It can be said to be an upgraded version of the torch.
However, the fact that it is still outdated is an immutable fact.
Even when I saw it from the outside, I felt that the size of the mine was much larger than that of the eastern mine.
Maybe it’s because of the large penis monster, but it seems to be over 10 meters wide and about twice as big as the eastern mine shaft.
It must have been about 10 minutes since we entered…
“Someone is coming from the front. Bark. Please.”
Willas, who was walking ahead, looked at me with a nervous look and said.
It is common to encounter other parties in the mine shaft.
But you can’t set boundaries.
This is because there are often cases where a mining party that parted ways after saying a friendly hello turns into a group of robbers attacking the enemy.
I stepped in front of Willas.
Five people holding lanterns approach.
However, the human in front had a face I had seen somewhere before.
Was it about a month ago?
The prisoner number was ‘0937 (Gonggusamchil)’, who secretly attacked me while I was sleeping.
“…”
0937 was approaching me with a wry smile.
Why are things going strangely?
0937 is also a prisoner.
It’s not strange that this guy is here, but… I felt a strange sense of discomfort about meeting him at this time.
I looked at Willas with that question in mind.
“…?!”
Willas had already turned his back on me and was running out of the tunnel.
‘That guy?!’
However, unlike Willas, the three men who are party members brought by Willas are not moving.
They smiled meaningfully and looked as if they were blocking my escape route.
At this point, it’s impossible to know how things are going.
“It’s a trap.”
“You fool. You went over for a few pennies and crawled in here without even knowing that this was your grave.”
0937 was elated at the situation that had been created according to his plan.
“…”
The guy had his limbs broken by me and was thrown out of his window.
He was such a petty guy that he attacked me out of revenge for being beaten at the Maseok purchase place.
Of course, I also thought that once he finished recovering, he might seek revenge again. But as time passed, I forgot about it.
The biggest thing was that 0937 was not a person of a level that I cared about.
I was wondering why he was being so quiet all this time, but it turned out that he was planning this dirty thing.
It’s not a problem to deal with these guys…
“GongguSamChil. This is a matter between you and me. Let’s resolve it by fighting fair and square with our fists like men.”
He laughed and said at my request.
“Why do I have to listen to those conditions?”
“…?”
0937 wrinkled his face at my words.
It seems like there is pride in it.
“Eight Chilgong. You believe in the magic suppressor and are arrogant. If it weren’t for that, I’d be so picky about you for believing in your size…”
0937 starts making lame excuses.
What he said wasn’t just wrong.
If you are in a situation where you have only a small amount of magical power and cannot use it, then of course external factors and physical abilities will determine the battle.
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason why he was brutally killed by me.
Unfortunately, it seems that Gonggusamchil has no intention of falling for my provocation.
In that case, I decided to attack the other side.
I said, looking around at the people surrounding me.
“Lynching against civilians! How can you still call yourself the proud soldiers of Zephyria! I’m so disappointed. Come on… There’s no way I can lose to those bastards who have 8 soldiers attacking civilians!!”
“… Keuhum.”
The subordinates of 0937 who were surrounding me looked at each other with uneasy expressions at my words.
0937 didn’t fall, but it seems like my provocation worked for the others.
Zephyria’s soldiers have high pride.
They are treated very well in Zephyria society… And the only ones who can touch them are fellow soldiers.
They could only be punished by military law.
In short, they are people who play under the laws of Zephyria.
It is bound to hurt the pride of people with such high self-esteem to beat up a civilian like this.
0937 You were treated harshly by me once, so you probably put down your pride and planned this messy thing…
Other humans who meet me for the first time do not have the same feelings as 0937.
Other inmates can say that since 0937 is also an officer, he is doing a favor from his superior.
“Hmm… Lieutenant Dwight. I guess it’s a bit weird for all of us to run into such an insignificant guy. This time, we’re watching, so there’s no such thing as a sneaky trap. Let’s show the gap between us and this guy in a big way.”〈 Br〉
“… What?”
0937 is taken aback when those words come out from one of the subordinates who were surrounding me.
Was 0937’s name Dwight?
And what… A sneaky trap?
Did this guy make a secret attack… And lie like that?
Since the surprise attack failed, and I ended up in such a miserable situation, I think I lied because I was embarrassed.
“… I could probably deal with that guy alone… But since he’s Lieutenant Dwight’s prey, I’ll give in.”
“That’s right! Dwight! If you’re a proud Zephyria soldier, then let’s fight fair and square. You’re not so scared of me that you turn your back on me in front of my subordinates, are you?”
The trap he prepared became a shackle that bound him.
Despite the expectations of my subordinates, if I ignore my request for a duel here, my face will be greatly damaged.
In short, you may become a superior who is ignored.
In the end, Dwight finally accepted my request.
Dwight’s men came out, left him, and formed a ring around him.
I put the money bag and pickaxe on the floor, lightly loosened his neck, and walked out to the center of the ring.
“Hehe… You rat… I just let my guard down and fell into a trap. Don’t think things will go the way they did then.”
… Has this guy’s memory been manipulated?
I couldn’t win with a sword, but there’s no way I could win with his fists.
Maybe he fell out the window and hit his head.
Dwight showed a cautious attitude, unlike during his sneak attack.
He started to keep me in check by circling around me and throwing light jabs and kicks.
I crouched down and clumsily blocked his attack while swinging my fist.
-Humming! Boom!
It’s a random punch.
Of course, my clumsy attack did not reach Dwight.
Dwight was very nervous at first, but as he dodged my attacks, I felt his face grow more confident.
The guy dodged my hook and threw a powerful punch to the stomach.
-Pow!!
“Uhm…”
After being hit in the stomach by Dwight, I frowned and took a step back.
“Whoa… Stupid guy. It looks like I looked down on you quite a bit too. Did you really think you would be my opponent?”
The initial tension on Dwight’s face completely disappears, and he approaches me with an arrogant expression.
The audience also sees this as a natural result.
“It’s not over yet.”
I didn’t give up and swung a deadly punch at Dwight.
Dwight, who had gained complete confidence, started hitting my torso like a punching bag while dodging the deadly punch with flashy steps.
However, that punch was a powerless punch, close to a mockery.
I could feel the malice of Dwight, who thought he had the perfect upper hand.
“Eight-seven balls. The price for your arrogance is high. I will break your limbs and throw them to the mine monsters as food. If you wriggle out of their well, you might survive.”
Dwight’s memories of the past were erased as he was unable to find some time to relax.
The audience is watching and laughing at me, who became a punching bag for this guy.
I thought it was about time.
-Right!
Dwight’s body, which had been stomping along, stumbles.
“… Huh?”
Dwight makes a stupid sound come out of his mouth.
Before I knew it, my low kick was stuck in his knee.
Dwight’s left leg was grotesquely bent completely inward.
I quickly lowered my stance and rushed towards Dwight, who had not yet grasped the situation, and tackled him.
The guy whose left knee was already completely shattered couldn’t block my tackle.
Dwight’s body floated and landed on the ground along with my heavy weight.
-Boom!
“Ahh!!”
Dwight screams as the pain in his back and knees arrives late.
But I had no intention of stopping.
I climbed on top of Dwight’s chest and pounded his face repeatedly with my fist.
-Puk puk puk! Wow! Enemy!
In an instant, Dwight’s face became a mess.
“Grrrr.”
The sound of boiling blood comes from his mouth.
It was the second coming of the assault on an officer at the Karaz Maseok Purchase Center.
“Stop it!”
The audience, who had been dumbstruck by the sudden upheaval, was belatedly rushing in panic when they saw Dwight with his face all messed up.
