“Break it.”
“what? what now… .”
“You’re shyly pretending to be a villain. it was said to be brittle Because it has nothing to do with me.”
Zervia’s face was stained with embarrassment. Even Estelle had her eyes wide open in surprise.
Zervia, her behavior is pretentious.
I am sure about that.
Cain and Zerbia are clearly similar to each other.
A loved one has died as a victim of a crime, and that is the trigger to fundamentally hate evil.
Although the results are different, he made his wish to destroy crime on the continent as his dream.
However, due to the different growth environments, there is a big difference in core values and behavioral principles.
Cain grew up in a slum.
I have seen countless local police and officials who condone crimes or commit similar acts in collusion with gangsters.
The country never puts out a hand for the powerless like himself.
He thought that he couldn’t change the world in a gentle way, and he did whatever it takes to get his hands dirty in order to survive and achieve his goals.
On the other hand, Zerbia grew up in a mansion in the capital.
It wasn’t really like her personality, but she grew up in an environment where you don’t have to get a drop of water on your hand.
I was educated on fairness and honesty as the banner of life and lived that way.
Although he was hired by the police and went to various fields, his tendencies became rough, but the values rooted in his unconscious did not change.
She grabs someone’s weakness and threatens them.
It’s impossible.
It’s just a bluff that was swept away by a momentary emotion.
“What are you doing? If you don’t want to break it, give it to me. Destroy it yourself.”
ahduk.
The sound of her grinding her teeth could be heard all the way here.
soft
In order to deal with evil, you must become a complete evil.
To catch an opponent in the mud, you have to step into the mud.
But she’s not ready for that.
She believes that she can change the world only with the gentle and soft means of public power, so she has a long way to go.
swish!
She bit her lip and threw the ashes at me. At the same time, he ran quickly.
I snatched the ashes, stored them in a subspace in my arms, and spread the protection.
visor!
The sword that was being lowered bounced off the shield.
It was the same output protection as before, but this time it was cracked a little but not broken.
‘The momentum has weakened. It must have been on the second basement floor.’
As she turned her body backwards, she retrieved the sword she had cut down and swung it wide sideways.
visor!
Her sword deflected Estelle’s mace that followed.
Taking advantage of the gap that had arisen for a while, I ran towards between the closets, and another chase ensued.
bang! bang!
He fired a pistol to slow the chase and scanned the cabinet.
And it wasn’t long before I was able to find the name I was aiming for.
I kept running without stopping, remembering the name I had in my sight a while ago.
「Jabir Kalta」
The real owner of the name Zervia is using externally.
He had a dream of becoming a police officer, but his older brother died during training.
And now the party of the ossuary I’m looking for.
Her brother’s existence was not known outside as much as she did.
Area 55, Clarkfield.
The 2nd basement floor of the ossuary.
Few people know that the ossuary is here.
That was the reason her momentum was weakening.
There was a risk that if I had pursued and attacked me with all my might, the ossuary of my flesh and blood would be destroyed.
“Careful!”
Estelle was gasping for breath with her knees bent as she was hit in the stomach by the handle of the sword.
After the interruption disappeared for a moment, Zervia quickly closed the distance.
I pulled out my revolver and grabbed the barrel and handle with both hands to block the sword she slammed.
Snuggle up!
Mithril and Mithril collide.
Crazy!
Mana and mana collided.
My mana was dark blue, close to black, and her mana was completely blue, creating a borderline like water and oil.
“The attack is slow. Are you thinking of something else?”
“Shut up! Dirty criminals without the emotions they should have as human beings!
The workshop went back and forth several times in an instant.
Her sword narrowly deflected me or got blocked by the revolver’s barrel.
Obviously, she wasn’t fully focused on the battle with me.
It was necessary to bring her spirit into this place.
“Aren’t you wondering why I didn’t kill you?”
“What?”
“Why didn’t I kill you?”
“Now what… .”
“Because it wasn’t worth it. Seeing people like you doing the imperial government shit without any belief makes me nauseous and unbearable. I didn’t want to get my hands dirty.”
She stopped moving for a moment.
Immediately, he opened his eyes and shouted.
“I! I have no beliefs! I am no one else!”
Her mood changed abruptly, and the tip of her sword became fierce and sharp.
Even while swinging at a glance, he came in thoroughly aiming only at vital points such as the neck and heart.
Jigsaw!
Her sword pierced the shield and brushed her cheek.
A few short hairs cut off with a burning pain flew into the air.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Have you been stabbed in the face of such anger? What are your beliefs?”
“Shut up that mouth!”
thud!
Her sword slammed into the floor past where I had escaped.
The special alloy floor collapsed, leaving a hole large enough for one person to pass through.
“This building must be someone else’s private property, but I don’t know if a cop can ruin it like that.”
“Criminals who steal other people’s things and feel no guilt!”
As emotions grew stronger, the destructive power of the attack increased, but the sharpness decreased.
Dodging the attack and starting to refine the element, I lure her into the closet passage where her brother’s ashes are located.
When I arrived in front of him, I turned to the woman who was following me.
Then, by fusing the refined elements, “Wind Vine” and “Acceleration” magic were activated.
Purification Step 4.
Pour out the maximum mana available.
The wind gripped her and gently twisted the sword’s path.
I dodged her attack with an accelerated movement, scraping down the long vertical edge next to the lost black storage compartment.
For that moment, my next move was faster than her.
I grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards me, breaking her posture.
Immediately, she stretched out her thumb and held it in contact with the fingerprint recognition part of the storage space.
Weing-
“… … !”
Before she could grasp the situation, I took out the ossuary inside, held it in my arms, and rolled back.
She didn’t take any action while I slowly brushed her off and got up.
“Didn’t you feel that way the moment you entered the ossuary? This filthy criminal may even know the location of my brother’s ashes.”
“How the hell did you do my research!”
I shrugged.
“I’ve never done a background check, but I know as much as I know. don’t move If you take even one step, I will destroy it.”
Her body, which was about to make a move, hardened at once.
“Dirty child… !”
“Why? Didn’t you try to stop me too?”
“The moment you break it, you die.”
“I don’t think you have yet realized who has the upper hand in this situation. No, I don’t know if you have the courage to kill me before then.”
I tightened my grip and made a slight crack in the top of the ossuary.
“I am giving the order, Zervia Kalta. Get out of the spot right now.”
She flinched at the sudden change in my cold voice.
After licking her lips for a while, she faltered and moved away.
I held it tightly in my hand so that I could break the ossuary at any time and moved on.
Then he stopped next to her and said, looking down at the floor with her face stained with shame.
“Zervia. You should have broken my ossuary. rather than just passing it on. You wanted my actions to be slow, but you were the one who was constrained. Was it because of a lack of morality? Even if he is precious to the enemy, he may not be related to a crime, so he can’t dishonor the dead?”
“… … .”
“It’s funny. Are you going to get rid of all the crime in the world? With such a humble attitude? Warning, Zervia. As of this moment, stop pursuing me and get rid of all investigations into the Blue Serpent. If you hear rumors that you have been seen at the scene, I will destroy your valuables.”
He took a step back and left one last word.
“If you really want to eradicate crime, be prepared to give up something that is important to you, regardless of the circumstances of the other person.”
This was also advice for her.
The more she delves into the Blue Serpent, the more she has to face an uncomfortable truth.
The truth that maybe it would be better to live without knowing for the rest of your life.
Zervia didn’t answer and just stared at a point on the floor with an angry face.
I passed her and walked over to Estelle, who was still sitting with one knee bent.
“Go back. The business here is over.”
“Wait. I have strength in my body right now… .”
I put my hands behind her neck and knees and hugged her gently.
She hurriedly grabbed my neck with both hands to keep it from falling.
“I can move on my own… .”
“It became.”
The pain still lingered on her face.
I went up the stairs slowly, and I heard Zervia’s cry from downstairs.
—Cain, you will surely be judged one day.
He opened his mouth slightly and answered.
I’ll wait no matter what
***
It was midnight with a crescent moon outside.
The street was quiet with only streetlights lit and no one was there.
While only the sound of footsteps was ringing, she said, who was still in her arms.
“I heard that he was the strongest knight in the capital, but I didn’t know it would be like that. Obviously, I even received magic from you to fight.”
“You fought well enough.”
“… … .”
Silence passed for a moment.
She had a somewhat angry face.
She continued walking towards Freud’s house, and after a few minutes she spoke again.
“I decided not to question everything you do, but I still do wonder a lot. What the hell does this person know? Is it possible to learn so much about a person simply by observing and doing research?”
“You seem to be in good shape. Walk yourself.”
“Eh, I think this will be fine.”
“heavy.”
“no… ! Where the hell am I! Are you crazy?”
I lowered her to the ground, and she slumped into a squat position.
“I am taller than average, but I am not heavy. Rather, if I was thin, I would have been thin. You always think of me like that… !”
“It’s a joke. Apologize.”
“Are you going to die?”
“If I die, I can’t even cure your disease.”
“Oh, really. What are you keeping me from saying?”
She grunted and followed me.
“… It’s definitely not chasing me anymore.”
I nodded.
Her brother’s ashes were more important to her than she could have imagined.
I was going to keep her from approaching me and put me back in my place when it was all over.
“I think we will stop the chase in the future, but we may change our minds, so when we get to where the car is, we go straight to the next area.”
“I see.”
Shortly after climbing the hill, Freud’s house at the top appeared.
All the lights in the house were off, as if both Freud and Lenny were already asleep.
“Are you just leaving without saying hello?”
“That would be better than waking me up.”
I used magic to write in the air in front of the door saying that something urgent happened and I was leaving.
“I do the driving. Keep your eyes closed.”
“thanks.”
widely.
I got into the car and started it.
The wheels moved and the sports car sped down the hill quickly.
Soon the outskirts of the district appeared, and the figure of Clarkfield in a deep sleep faded away behind us.
