Chapter 134 hunting ratsIt takes 1 hour 25 minutes by plane from Nice to Paris and 4 to 5 hours by train. If you think far, you are far, if you think that you are close, you are near.
Warp is a skill that allows long-distance space movement, and with 5th grade magic power, it is possible to travel from Nice to Paris.
However, since the ring of space movement is an item, there was a limit to the use of magical power.
‘If it succeeds, it’s a jackpot, and if it fails, it’s just throwing away one item.’
it’s a gamble
Gambling is always high risk, high return.
The gamble Yoon Tae-sung was trying to do was to give the ring of space movement as a prey to the spirit of death.
If you add up the mana of the Steel Monster and the magic of Yoon Tae-seong, it will be possible to move through space over a fairly considerable distance.
It was just throwing away the ring of space movement.
From the Ring of the Steel Golem, Specter, the god of death, appeared like a black cloud.
Steel monsters have no interest in items. However, the steel monster possessed by the spirit of death was very greedy for items.
Is it because the way to deal with the spirits of death has developed by learning the basics of spirit art?
Yoon Tae-sung could feel what this guy wanted.
“Why is this…?”
An item called ‘Chimaira’s Serpent’ wrapped around the right forearm.
The tail of the monster Chimera was crafted from Orichalkon and magic crystals, and I never thought of it as a useful weapon in battle.
A weapon crafted by alchemy. It is a fusion of the tail of a giant creature called ‘Chimaira’ and the metal Oriharkon.
‘Is it because of alchemy?’
You can guess that even the monster of steel was made by alchemy. A tremendous level of alchemy that cannot be compared with ‘Chimaira’s Serpent’.
Because it was the first time Tae-seong Yoon had ever seen an item in this evolving form.
‘Well, if it’s an item you don’t need, it would be better to develop this guy a little more.’
Yoon Tae-seong gave ‘Kamiari’s Snake’ and ‘The Ring of Space Movement’ as prey to the steel monster, Specter, the god of death.
Then, Black Luck swallowed the two items and absorbed them. The black cloud made of steel seemed to shone faintly, but there was no significant change.
For a brief moment, Heuk-woon wrapped around Yoon Tae-seong. But not a Specter, it turned into a snake that resembled the tail of a Chimera.
With Yoon Tae-sung wrapped around him, the length alone will be 10 meters.
‘It seems more natural to create shapes.’
It felt a little closer to life than metal, but to the touch, it was cold metal.
It was wrapped around her body, but not to the extent that it interfered with her movement. I don’t think this transformation is really necessary.
The snake wrapped around Yoon Tae-seong in an instant and turned into a specter. The transformation time seemed to be a little shorter.
Yoon Tae-sung came up with an image.
It was the warehouse on the outskirts of Paris where he battled Zodiac 99. He gave the Specter magic and used space movement.
-warp
However, in an instant, the space is compressed. This crushed Yoon Tae-seong with great force.
As the distance increased, the compressed space increased, and the weight of the space seemed to increase.
The good news is that the Specter is relieving that enormous pressure to some extent.
The fully compressed space suddenly exploded.
Of course, no such explosion actually occurred. As the compressed space momentarily expanded, Tae-Sung Yoon recognized it as such.
At some point, Tae-seong Yoon disappeared from the port of Nice and stood in the same warehouse where he fought Zodiac 99.
“Wow… this wasn’t a skill that could move this long.”
Of course, it was a skill that could be done if he had magical powers, but the physical ability to withstand the pressure of that much space was also very important. Without Specter, Yoon Tae-seong was a skill that would have to venture into a large group physically.
Tae-Sung Yoon immediately disbanded the Specter and called Elodie Satchel.
-What’s up?
“How is Paris International Bank now?”
-That’s not the case with DGSE, so we’re still watching. Currently, the Paris police and the raid team are besieging the bank. Luke Chabrol’s team is also included.
This is not the case with DGSE. Armed robbery of a bank has nothing to do with security.
But she was watching because of Luc Chabrol.
“I am in Paris now.”
-Paris? Didn’t you say nice when you called me a while ago?
“It did.”
“I think the Awakener is involved in the armed robbery, can’t the DGSE be involved a little too?”
– France is different from Korea. There is no agency dedicated to Awakened crimes. This is a police job. We are part of the Ministry of Defense.
The police and the Ministry of Defense do completely different things. If the police were to intervene in the Ministry of National Defense, it would be the same as if the military was involved in civilian affairs without martial law.
The DGSE is also a sub-organization of the Ministry of National Defense.
“Come pick me up first. It’s the warehouse where you fought Zodiac 99.”
-Ha… I don’t know why you care so much about Luc Chabrol. Wait, I’m leaving now.
Investigating Luc Chabrol didn’t find anything particularly unusual, and she couldn’t even keep her watch on him.
I was going to stop monitoring after a few more days, but today an armed robber broke into the Paris International Bank.
Four gunmen, wearing masks like Pierrot, were currently holding more than 30 hostages at the International Bank of Paris.
Two people were collecting and managing hostages on the first floor, while the other two went down to the basement.
A man was showing a show of disassembling the safe in front of a huge vault in the basement.
The safe was slightly broken.
“Shit! Didn’t I say you can break anything with just your hand?”
“You are doing it now. I had no idea the safe could be this hard and big.”
It was an incredibly hard alloy, and the thickness alone seemed to be 1 meter.
The safe room of the Paris International Bank for storing precious metals and important data had a reputation as the safest safe in the world.
Rumor has it that if nuclear bombs flies, the inside of this vault is the safest.
Compared to the hard vault, the man was not a high-ranking Awakener.
It’s a skill called ‘shredding’ of the earth attribute, and the man was breaking the safe little by little with this.
The man watching was deeply regretful.
He said he would break anything, and he actually confirmed it. So she thought she would be able to escape by stealing the precious metal soon, but when she actually did it, it was too slow.
The escape plan has already failed.
Police besieged the bank, and the raid team arrived. He pondered how to overcome the crisis of this moment.
went up to the first floor.
He called Luc Chabrol.
– Fuck you, are you crazy? why are you calling
“What do you say? help us escape Are we a team? If we get caught, you’ll get caught too.”
– Don’t kill people recklessly, hold on unconditionally.
Luc Chabrol hung up the phone.
After killing the hostage, the raid team goes into a kill operation. His man knew it too, so he didn’t kill the hostage.
A hostage was valuable when held hostage.
A few minutes ago, I got a call from the bank.
He was the commander of the police, and they had requested a helicopter.
got a call
– It takes some time to prepare the helicopter. And there’s no place for helicopters to land here. I’ll have to check to see if the hostage is okay.
“Don’t be mean.”
They had all their windows covered now, so they couldn’t see the inside properly from the outside.
This is because it is best to make it impossible to see inside information, in case you can sniper.
“Call me in two hours. Then I will state the request again.”
He hung up the phone.
First of all, it took time, but I couldn’t really come up with a good way.
‘Shall we take the hostage and take the bus? After that, the bus is thrown into the Seine, and we escape underwater. Or go to the port of Le Havre, fall from the helicopter and escape.’
As long as you avoid being chased by the police, you can somehow escape. Because no one knows their identities anyway.
But in fact, it was very dangerous to escape by helicopter. This is because they can attack with rockets as soon as they leave the city center.
“Shit! Rick!”
“Put TNT on each hostage.”
One press of the transmitter button kills all hostages.
Tae-Sung Yoon came to Paris International Bank in Elodie Satchel’s car.
Police surrounded the bank, sealed off and controlled the area. Police were stationed on the main escape route, in case the group of armed robbers could escape.
“It came from DGSE.”
“What’s going on at the Security Agency?”
“There is one of the armed robbers we are investigating. Do you have a raid team ready by any chance?”
“I am already preparing.”
“Then it would be nice if one of us moved together, would that be ok?”
The DGSE is responsible for the number of terrorist incidents taking place in France. The person investigating here is one of the armed robbers, what will the police do?
Terrorism was more important than armed robbery.
You’re not taking command from DGSE, you’re going to work with an agent.
“I see! But this isn’t a counter-terrorism case, it’s an armed robbery of a bank. Do not move alone outside the direction of the police.”
He said clearly that he had to follow the direction of the police. If the hostage is killed or injured, his remarks will certainly have an effect on immunity.
‘Oh, damn it! Should I do this?’
Although Tae-seong Yoon’s request was granted, if a hostage dies, etc., Elodie Satchel’s position becomes very difficult.
This isn’t an official DGSE case, it’s her personal investigation.
So she too remained in the police command and observed the situation closely.
Tae-seong Yoon, wearing a bulletproof vest with the word “RAID” on it, boarded the police squadron’s van where the raid team was waiting to be dispatched.
“Five? Hello!”
Arno Divosel, one of the team leaders of the raid team, recognized Yoon Tae-seong and pretended to know him.
Tae-Sung Yoon intentionally joined Luc Chabrol’s team, and the team leader had already seen Tae-Sung Yoon in a monster hunt in Paris.
“Before, I wasn’t able to greet properly because I wasn’t in a good mood. Arno Dubossel.”
“This is Tae-Sung Yoon. Just call me Yoon.”
Fortunately, Arno Duvossel spoke English.
“I heard you are joining, but what is the DGSE’s interest in armed robbery?”
“I do not know? I’m not under DGSE, I’m just working on a request, so I don’t know the details. The content is secret.”
Arnault also heard about ‘some of the armed robbers are being investigated by the DGSE!’ In other words, this is equivalent to saying that they are preparing for a terrorist attack in France.
Yoon Tae-seong sat down next to Luc’s Shabrol.
As for greetings, I can speak French, so I shook hands with Luc Chabrol.
Using the flow of mana, he looked at Luc Shabrol’s magical power.
The five circles that settled in the heart boasted strong power, and their physical abilities were not well developed.
Whether it’s alchemy’s magic absorption or other skills, there are only two methods that Tae-Sung Yoon knows to develop magic power. Through dungeon clearing or magic stone.
Raid teams are sometimes involved in dungeon dives, but most often they go to their original mission.
Armed robbery increased as the Awoken crime increased, so the raid team became busier.
‘It certainly didn’t get stronger by clearing the dungeon. Where and how did you get the Magic Stone?’
When Tae-Sung Yoon was thinking about these things, Luc Shabrol had a lot of worries inside too.
‘Why is DGSE meddling in this case?’
To his knowledge, three of his colleagues had absolutely nothing to do with terrorism.
‘Are you sure you know who I am?’
Is there any known contact with André Pirès? I couldn’t help but think like this.
Originally intended to kill three of his colleagues. His ability is enough.
But the guy from DGSE joined?
It was not clear what kind of skill he had, but he was a very strong hunter.
‘Shit! Things are getting messy.’
