176. Intruder (2)
“Khhhh…!! you this dog—”
ㅡ Kwajik!!
As Intruder 2, with his arms torn apart, was lying on his stomach and was about to utter a curse, Oliver trampled his head and crushed him with his black-suited shoes.
It wasn’t any malicious intent.
He was just doing what he had learned from Joe.
You have to finish well so you don’t see dirty situations. I thought, ‘Is that a bit too much?’, but because there was no quarter staff, I decided to just follow Joe’s advice.
“·····yes? Is this person coming back to life too?”
Invaders with a smashed head regenerating 2.
It also seemed like some kind of black magic. The problem is that it seems very far from normal black magic.
Kwajik!
Kwajik!
Kwajik!
Kwajik!
Kwajik!
Kwajik!
Oliver started trampling again mechanically.
When I looked at the fight with the puppet as a reference, if I killed it until I died, I would die someday.
“Career…….”
Intruder 2, whose head was broken on one side and his back crushed as if pressed by a press, spit out bubbles of blood from his mouth and died.
Countless humanoid masses of flesh tried to rise from his body, but soon lost their strength and collapsed again.
Oliver turned his head to look at Intruder 1.
He felt hatred and anger toward Oliver, but he felt more fear.
Oliver and the Intruder staring at each other.
After a moment of silence, Tak! The sound echoed quietly.
Invader 1 tried to escape through the entrance using his quick agility.
Oliver gives emotions to the shadows accordingly and activates the Shadow Tentacle.
Shadow stakes, tentacles, and blades tried to capture Intruder 1.
“huh!”
As expected, Intruder 1 crossed his legs and rushed towards Oliver.
There was not enough time to recover the shadow tentacles and counterattack.
there-
-Pak!
Intruder 1 wrapped his feelings around his two French knives and threw it at Oliver.
The target area is the eyes.
Oliver reflexively raised one arm and blocked it like a shield.
Kak-!
Two blades that bounce off with the sound of iron and iron collide.
Oliver removed his arm and checked the intruder again.
In no time, you were right in front of you.
Even after throwing the knife, he was holding the knife in his hand.
Surprisingly, it was a knife made of flesh and bones.
A biological weapon made by removing parts of one’s own body.
The strange regenerative ability and multiple lives, as well as the more you look, the more you look at it, the more different it is from just an ordinary warlock.
The puppet that fought deep underground in the contaminated area kept coming to mind.
‘No, the overall feeling is similar, but slightly different.’
“Look!!”
Intruder 1 shouted, wielding a blood-red blade made of emotion, bones and flesh.
It wasn’t a lie.
The exact power was unknown, but it was an item that would mortally wound Oliver wearing a black suit.
If the attack hits.
[Hat Bullet]
He pulled his left hand inside his body, which was waiting, and fired a bullet of hate as it was.
Pupperbuck-!!
There were three holes in Intruder 1’s body with a light sound.
Intruder pushed back by impact1.
Still, there was certainty in his eyes. Convinced that he can kill Oliver…
It wasn’t very silly.
You can endure it with its unique regenerative ability, then charge again and beheaded.
“Something like that!”
[Hat Bullet]
Oliver fired a bullet of hate again.
If it’s different from before, it’s two hands, not one.
It was meant to be shot with two fingers, not one.
Four bullets of hate were thrown at the enemy at once.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo–!!!!
“━━━━ gagging!”
Oliver poured more bullets than a machine gun at Intruder 1 with a numb expression as if experimenting.
I wanted to check it out. Which one is stronger, that regenerative ability or Oliver’s firepower?
The sound of a mechanical machine gun reverberated for a while, and Intruder 1 wanted to be pushed back, but soon lost the strength to withstand it and flew straight to the baptism of bullets, crashing into the wall and starting to be hit unilaterally.
As dust rose, disfigured flesh splattered in all directions, and his vitality gradually faded, Oliver pulled out his hand and stopped firing.
A silence mixed with astonishment and horror spread quietly in the auction house.
Everyone just looked at Oliver in surprise.
Oliver felt the gaze, but he didn’t care and stared at the dust without saying a word.
After a while, the dust settled.
Intruder 1 who gets up with him. It was truly an amazing life force.
“Five····. You are amazing.”
Oliver frankly admired it.
A regenerative ability that is close to resurrecting beyond normal regenerative abilities and an abnormal amount of emotion and magic power. It was bizarre, as if several people’s things were mixed together.
I was about to ask a question about it, but the intruder spoke first.
“What is your name……?”
Intruder 1 asked, spitting out a gourd of fleshy blood.
“It’s Dave.”
“Dave…?”
“Yes, what is your name?”
As Intruder 1 was about to answer, blood spewed out of his mouth again.
This time there were more pieces of flesh and intestines. Nevertheless, I wanted to regain strength and recover, so I sat down and collapsed.
I wondered if a human figure would rise from a lump of flesh that was boiling like a bubble, but this too collapsed and disappeared, and his body crumbled like his colleagues.
“this····. dead.”
***
“Um, do you know how to wash this?”
Subureptor’s large museum whose auction was temporarily suspended due to a riot.
In the director’s office there, Oliver asked Coco, who had just joined.
Coco looked at Oliver’s leg with a half-frozen expression on his face.
One of Oliver’s legs and shoes were completely stained with blood while subduing Intruder 2.
“Well·····. It’s a little deep in the blood, but don’t worry too much, as I know a laundry that drains blood well.”
Oliver tilted his head. I was lying.
“Really?”
“Of course not. Which laundromat in the world washes these things? I think I worked at the slaughterhouse for a whole month. It’s good if you don’t report it.”
“ah·····. So should I throw it away? It’s a pity that I just bought it.”
Oliver sighed.
Of course, I didn’t buy it with Oliver’s money, but with the activities Jane gave me, but I couldn’t deny that I felt sad no matter what.
Jane, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, sighed in relief.
“I’ll buy you another one. Shoes and a suit.”
“No, I don’t mean that. It’s just really sad.”
“But you can’t just wear it, can you? If you go out on the street, you’ll be reported as a red-footed serial killer in less than a minute? I want to buy it, so don’t tell me, just accept it.”
Sincerity.
Oliver nodded.
“thank you.”
“Isn’t there any other injuries to the body?”
“Yes, no.”
“I guess they weren’t as dangerous as I thought?”
“No, not that.”
Oliver said sincerely.
Although he won without being seriously injured, it was also luck.
If the enemies weren’t vigilant from the start, and if Invaders 1 and 2 had captured Oliver and concentrated their magical energy, they might have been injured.
Before I went into such a situation, I quickly brought the flow of the fight and killed it in a dangerous order.
In a nutshell, it was only luck that came out in Oliver’s favor.
If a knife processed from flesh, bones, and emotions had touched Oliver’s body, nothing could be predicted.
That’s what a fight was like in the first place. live or die
‘Well····. by the way. I’d like to know about your black magic. This is the second warlock who doesn’t die at once.’
Oliver in thought. Coco said to Oliver.
“Now it seems that you have gone beyond the dark horse and become a first-class solver recognized by Randa?”
“Yes?”
“I spend money on an innocent girl with a lot of money.”
“?? How about a first-class solver?”
“Not all, but those who can do it. Power in this city is a huge attraction in its own right.”
A third voice suddenly interrupted. Very young, cheerful and overflowing with confidence.
When I turned my head, I saw the owner of the voice.
Tall over 190 centimeters, with long dark green hair and beard neatly trimmed, ivy tattoos carved on his face, and antlers that are small but definitely present.
It was Sheamus, a new class druid from Landa that Gordon was talking about.
Coco took two steps back, nervously not like her.
“Sir Seamus.”
“Why are you so shy, Coco? Who wants to eat it?”
Like his tall stature and the green light that emanated from him, he had a dignified and cool attitude.
He seemed to like women, but soon turned his attention to Oliver. He reached out to Oliver.
“Nice to meet you. Call me Sheamus. Have you ever heard of me?”
Oliver shook hands and said hello.
“My name is Dave. I heard a little.”
“What did you hear?”
“I was active three years ago and in one year became one of the top solvers, and I heard that he is now retired.”
“And have you ever heard of a story about losing your spine with a rich lover?”
The man deliberately spoke badly of himself and then grinned. seems to be proud.
In fact, his emotions were filled with joy, satisfaction, and pride.
“…Dave. I’ve heard it once. Have you been particularly active in catching escapees lately? That’s why people in the same industry are cursing. I mean, he’s an immoral guy who eats everything by himself.”
“I didn’t mean to, but I’m sorry.”
“Ha ha!”
Druid Sheamus laughed.
“You don’t look like a warlock. Ignore those guys. Incompetent bastards don’t know what to do, so their mouths are fluttering. Landa is a free city with endless opportunities. It doesn’t matter how much a talented guy eats. No, you should rather encourage it. The good are there, the incompetent here… That’s how it makes sense in the world.”
Sheamus pointed his finger up and down like an actor.
There was a sense of playfulness, but the words themselves contained intense sincerity.
He seemed to like Landa very much.
‘Enjoyment.’
he asked
“You’re working with Forrest in T-zone right now?”
“Yes.”
“Looking at the work with the trash, you have good skills, but you don’t seem to have a keen eye. No matter how talented you are, if you’re with someone you don’t see much of, you’re nothing but the same person you don’t see much of. don’t talk long Would you like to work with me?”
Druid Sheamus held out a business card to Oliver in a confident manner.
The words [leaf loan] were engraved in an antique style on the business card. It was a soft, reassuring font.
“Well·····. May I ask what it is?”
“The business I run. Working as a fixer isn’t bad, but you can get hurt or die on the job. Where is the best place to settle? I’ll make sure you don’t lack the treatment.”
It seemed sincere.
The druid Sheamus approached Oliver with a greedy gaze.
“I don’t know about the loan business.”
“It doesn’t matter because I use the head. What I need is an army… I speak as a senior solver, and when the stock price rises, it is best to settle in a good place.”
Oliver pondered how to say no.
It was sincere to give him a high evaluation, but he was not interested at all. However, if I blindly refused, it seemed that the proud Seamus would come out harshly.
Hmmm, what should I do?
“Excuse me, but this is inappropriate behavior.”
Just in time, Crime Firm Director Gordon Goodhart appeared.
“Before he was a solver, he was a visitor to this place. And he is the benefactor who helped me keep the credit of the business. Scouting like that doesn’t look very good. Mr. Sheamus.”
Gordon spoke with his characteristic politeness and stern demeanor.
To his amazement, Sheamus stepped back with an empty hand.
“I’m sorry. I am greedy because I am a talented person… I did this because I wanted to help improve the power of the crime pump. It’s a strange project in the city these days. It’s noisy, so shouldn’t we prepare something here too?”
“Of course, I think so.”
Gordon and Sheamus laughed and lied to each other.
After a moment of cold silence, Sheamus smiled and stepped back.
“You seem to have something to see, so I’ll let you go.”
Saying that, Seamus strode away with her long legs.
After Sheamus closed the door and disappeared, Gordon opened his mouth.
“First of all, let me say thank you again. Dave Mr. This allowed us to reduce the damage to a minimum.”
“is that so?”
“Yes, fortunately, the intruders came in through the secret entrance and were able to calm down externally, and the auction house customers were also able to calm down because there were no serious injuries or deaths.”
“Isn’t one person dead?”
“He was a man who made money through real estate development. It’s rich, but there are quite a few people like that in this city, so I think it’ll be fine. Because my colleagues are on the move.”
oh·····. It seemed that there were many upper class people in Landa as well as the poor and the workers.
It was exactly what Jane said.
“But it’s all thanks to Dave’s help that I’ve been able to overcome this level. I want to repay you. If there is anything you want, be it money or a book, let me know. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.”
Gordon said as if prepared in advance.
At that moment, Oliver’s head stopped.
Because I was thinking about which book to ask for.
Of course, money is coveted, but while money is a means, books are more of an end. If possible, I would like to receive it as a book.
And if I had to choose one of those books, of course I wanted to get a book about the devil.
It was relatively difficult to obtain.
‘Is there a book of the devil? Probably, there will be. Edith-sama said that he got it through an auction. So, can I just ask for it? But, as a warlock, would it be okay if I asked for a book about demons?’
I tried to calculate as much as possible in my head.
“If it’s okay, can I tell you in a little while?”
Jane said quietly holding Oliver’s hand.
“It’s so sudden, I think you’ll need some time to think about it for a while.”
Jane’s intrusion was sudden, but Gordon looked at Oliver and Jane, then nodded.
“ah·····. I’m so grateful I must have been excited. So, if there is anything you want, please feel free to tell me at any time. We want to repay you for protecting our trust.”
Giving you time to think, Oliver accepted it right away.
“Thank you for your consideration. Then we will.”
“Gratitude is mine.”
“If it’s okay with you, can I ask you a question?”
“A question?”
“Yes, do you know who the intruder is? I’m curious.”
“We haven’t figured it out yet. The body collapsed.”
It was a natural and polite answer, but Gordon’s words were false.
He tried to deceive Oliver’s eyes by wearing a magic item on his body, but unfortunately he was able to see through.
“Yes, I understand. By the way, why did you attack here?”
“It looks like they were looking for something that would be on the auction house.”
Sincerity.
“Auction house stuff?”
“Yeah, I raided the auction house to get attention. In fact, at the same time they raided the auction house, they also raided the warehouse where the auction items were stored.”
If it is a warehouse where auction items are collected, then it is a warehouse where various items are collected.
“Is the warehouse safe?”
“Yeah, it was risky, but fortunately I had someone to help me.”
“Who helped you?”
“Yeah, you just came here. Would you like to see me?”
Before Oliver could say anything, the door opened and a man walked in.
She was a woman, and she wore a mask of tears.
The exposed flesh was as pale as a corpse, and above all, the long purple hair gave off a very strange and mysterious atmosphere.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Natural, yet alien.Oliver knew only one person with such hair.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Number of animals.
