354 – [6] Cat Beast Robber
#354
Crack!
However, the difference between the race that runs on four legs and the race that runs on two legs was bound to be large.
Even though we reacted in a lapse of time, the distance widened in an instant.
“Holy shit!”
What was a 2m difference became a 10m difference.
I should have reacted as soon as it was taken away, but it was so absurd that I couldn’t react properly.
It was a moment when I was blaming myself and belatedly trying to do something.
“Haste!”
“Excel!”
The magic related to speed was clearly heard.
It was clear that he was very determined.
You can’t pursue it like this.
“Everyone! “I’ll try to catch it first somehow!”
And this wasn’t the only way.
I quickly brought up my senses, which I had been slowly bringing up.
People’s shouting.
An explosion sound heard from far away.
Soo-ah, with fire burning in her eyes, and Cheonma-ri’s movements.
The footsteps of a thief leaving a store.
Everything started to slow down.
Among them, the thieves and I were the only ones that were fast.
“If you want to catch it, catch it─ What?”
Currently, the amount of time I control is about 8 times.
The opponent was running on all fours and even used speed magic.
It may not be a dramatic difference, but that doesn’t mean I’m slower than them.
I was confident that I was faster by about 30% to 50%.
The more I ran, the more certain I became.
This was because the huge distance between them quickly narrowed.
“Crazy! “Hey, that bastard!”
“Huh? No, what…… ! Hey! Use more magic!”
The words ‘Haste’ and ‘Excel’ were heard repeatedly.
But it was just a useless thing.
How was magic stacking so easy?
If it were easy, this Earth would be covered in magic instead of science.
There was no difference in speed.
They gradually caught up with me.
However, as I followed along, one fact caught my eye.
“Wait, Hunter Watch?”
Those two.
Once we catch up, how do we subdue it?
I didn’t have a hunter watch or a weapon right now.
Even if I punched him, his hand only hurt because of the protective shield.
At least it seemed like it would be enough to take away the weapons they were wearing.
But it seemed like people who were current hunters would not give up their weapons so easily.
Furthermore, judging from the speed magic, it was clear that the opponent was in a reconnaissance-related field.
To put it another way, it means that evasion alone is enough.
There had to be a stick or at least a pipe.
The guys had entered the alley and had almost caught up with them.
In the distance, I caught sight of a rusty sword lying on the ground.
Just looking at it, it looks like they threw it in the alley because they didn’t want to pay for the disposal of the weapon.
Durability will not be desired.
You won’t even be able to hope for attack power.
But all I had to do was be able to hit him.
The two guys passed by the rusty sword.
I quickly picked up that rusty sword and moved forward at full speed.
I came into range and didn’t swing right away.
I had to defeat them all at once.
And there was only one part of the human body that controlled balance.
It was when I almost caught up with the two guys.
“Damn it! Shit! Shit! “Why is it so fast!”
“Just a little more! Then go to where the other kids are— Nyang!”
Wow! Puck!
I swung the sword imbued with magical power without hesitation.
The heads of the two cat beasts were struck down by a rusty sword.
Of course, the head did not break due to the protective shield.
Even if you lose your balance in an instant.
Wudangtangtang!
Like a wild animal that stumbles and rolls on the floor.
They also rolled around on the floor as friends.
I continued to swing my sword at them.
The sound of metal clashing against metal rang endlessly.
The two cat beasts stopped rolling and fell to the ground, several meters apart.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been annoyed in that situation.
But these were hunters.
I placed my hands on the floor to get up again.
“Where!”
Wow!
Kicked the stomach.
Because of that, I lost my balance and fell down again.
“Hey, Lee Iik!!!”
The other guy behind us.
I hit rock bottom.
I put down the bag that was in my mouth.
He wanted to catch me.
It would have been possible if the speed magic had been used.
Unfortunately, it was very slow now as the magic had been lifted.
I dodged to the side and then pushed him back against the wall.
He struck me in the face with a sword and then hit me in the stomach with my knee.
“Ugh?!”
This is not a sound made by the enemy.
This is the sound I made.
It feels like I hit something hard because of the protective layer.
I groaned and struck his head once more with my sword as he hit his face.
To vent his anger, he hit another guy on the head.
It seemed like I was going to die, but it didn’t seem like it would be any problem if I died anyway.
Anyway, I don’t think they’ll properly investigate if a thief gets hit and dies here.
And when I looked at the Hunter Watch, there was still a small amount of battery left.
It seemed right to leave this much for the people who were robbed.
The two cat beasts were spread out on the floor like that.
“My tenacity is weaker than I thought.”
“What? “Have you already sorted it out?”
“Huh? I’m here?”
Two people arrived just then.
I handed over two cats to two people.
“No, wow, you organized this all by yourself.”
“Because I can easily deal with at least two current hunters. “Of course, assuming that’s not the case.”
Of course, this was also due to the fact that the opponent was of a lower level than expected.
First of all, in my experience, it was never higher than C level.
You might ask, how can you be sure?
This was because their capabilities were lacking compared to the first year of the academy.
The average competency of a first-year academy student is about C level with little experience.
But it was so bad that it couldn’t even be compared to the duels I had or watched while attending the academy.
“About two current hunters…… ? Were you that strong?”
“They weren’t that strong anyway. “It has a protective shield, but after hitting it a few times, it just lay down.”
If it were a first-year academy student who was stealing like this, he would have used magic at the back while running away.
Of course, while running quickly, he could not control his body due to lack of experience and ended up crashing into a wall or pillar.
“Sian, are you hurt anywhere?”
“Yes, sister. “Except for my knee hurting a little, I’m perfectly fine.”
Even this will get better after a few days or if you apply some medicine.
If it doesn’t work, you can apply elixir.
However, despite this explanation, Su-a’s expression worsened in real time.
No, I’m an aspiring hunter. If you’re worried about something like this, what are you going to do later?
“What, my knees hurt? Why?!”
“Uh…… “Is that because you kicked these guys with your knee?”
“Let’s see!” Could there be a big problem?”
“It’s okay. And I think it would be appropriate to do something with these guys when it’s time to check that.”
I looked at the two humans lying on the floor.
The two cats repeatedly folded and opened their ears.
It looks like he’s listening to everything we say.
I felt like if I ran away for no reason, the situation could get messy.
“Soo-a sister? “Can you magically bind my arms and legs here?”
“Of course not. “Our Xian is asking for it, so of course we can do it.”
The arms and legs of the two cat beastmen were bound by ice magic.
I twisted my body around to somehow escape, but it wasn’t magic.
“Gangshi, what do you plan to do with these guys?”
“I guess I’ll have to leave it at that.”
“Huh? “You’re leaving it behind?”
The pupils got bigger.
It was as if he had heard something he was not supposed to hear.
“Then you don’t boil butterfly stew— quack.”
“Let’s not do that.”
Let’s not act like barbarians.
Instead, like civilized people, let’s leave them tied up in the middle of the earth where monsters are pouring out.
It was safe to say that there was no moral problem with this.
He is tied up like this, but he dies from something else?
Then it was a death.
He died because of what we bound him to, so how can he not die?
From Noble mtl dot com
Then, since we were not at the scene, it was a natural death.
Of course, depending on your perspective, it could be seen as a murder by a monster, but in any case, it wasn’t our fault.
I motioned for them to grab the bag containing the purchases.
Soo-ah and Cheonma-ri took the envelope and said thank you.
I checked to see if anything had been stolen inside.
Cheonma-ri looked inside the envelope and tilted her head.
“Huh? “Where’s my anti-betrayal fan?”
Soon, I looked at the two humans kneeling in front of the wall.
I immediately grabbed one and rummaged through their pockets.
“Oh, it’s here.”
A fan came out from inside the jacket.
Cheonma-ri said he was embarrassed and gave them another hit.
“Anyway, they’re such bastards. “Anything you do is theft.”
“Soo-ah, is anything missing from you?”
“No, luckily I don’t think I’m there.”
Then there was nothing more to do with these guys.
No matter what happens to these guys or not, we just have to go on our way.
However, from across the alley, a group of people were sticking their heads out in this direction.
Soon, he looked around and started walking this way.
“Hunter?”
“This is not the direction where the monster is.”
“Isn’t it just a passing road?”
“No. “Get the weapons on these guys’ backs right now.”
They had cat ears and stopped in front of us.
Of course, he was a hunter, not a civilian.
It seemed like they would call it an illegal act and talk about punishment.
Or just tell them to get out of the way.
“…… I came here because I heard the sound of someone being beaten. “I never thought something like this would happen.”
“Who are you?”
“You three, if you have a good word, it would be better to give everything you have and set those two free.”
No.
It was another robbery.
I was talking about the group earlier, but it seems they were closer than I thought.
The situation became troublesome in many ways.
“Jiangshi, what are you planning to do with them? “Looking at his outfit, he looks like a current hunter.”
“If the situation is bad enough for them to steal anyway, their skills are probably not very good either. “I think it would be better to just beat him up the same way.”
Numbers and equipment are running out.
However, there is no need to remove the liver and gallbladder.
Anyway, the opponent is a robber.
If the skills were similar to those I have just defeated, it was worth fighting.
“But Sian, those guys are all wearing hunter watches right now… ….”
“No matter how good the equipment is, if your skills are bad, you’re out of luck. So, Su-a, please just hold on to those guys’ feet.”
And it’s not like there is no way out.
If that didn’t work, all you had to do was use Sister Su-ah’s magic to hold her feet and then run to the park not far from here.
“So, we’re not going to run away?”
“If you think these guys will chase you and bother you, it would be right not to hit them. Of course, it will be different if the situation gets significantly worse.”
That’s how the discussion ended.
The three of us decided to practice ‘non-killing’ those six cat prisoners.
“There you three. What do you keep whispering among yourselves? “Why don’t you give me what you have right now?”
“Hey, that’s enough. “Give me everything you have.”
“What? What?!”
An expression that doubts one’s ears.
Soon, he frowned and waved his hand as if he wouldn’t leave us alone.
It was an unremarkable threat.
And even if it was weak, a threat was a threat.
Before we even tell them what to do.
A somewhat rough self-defense was put into practice.
* * *
“Sorry! I’m an asshole…… Nyaaaaang…… ! Please have mercy just once…… !”
Six cat prisoners who unexpectedly attacked and were beaten to a pulp.
It was so bad that we weren’t really hurt except for a few scratches.
“Kang Si, I must have cut a vein, and blood keeps coming out of my thigh. “Can you help stop the bleeding?”
“Are the veins cut? Well, that’s a normal injury. “When I get back later, I’ll apply some ointment.”
“Hey.”
Anyway, that was it.
Still, being injured didn’t bother me at all.
We subdued them rather roughly as a minor revenge and punishment for their crimes.
To be precise, he behaved a little roughly until the point where he was subdued and finished.
“Hey, Butterfly Tang candidates. “When you say something nice, take it all off and put it down.”
“You mean everything?”
“Didn’t you hear what my boyfriend said? Take off everything from outerwear to underwear and put it down. “I am a feminist, so women are no exception.”
“Nya, nya…… ! Hey, Hunter! That’s not enough. Please have mercy…… !”
“What? You don’t like it? Do you want to be ‘donuted’ by an ice pick?”
Whoa.
America was truly a scary and cruel place.
It was particularly cruel that safety could be ensured only if the robber was robbed.
On the other hand, it was scary that an innocent person like me had to make this choice.
I don’t think I will travel here again from now on.
It is clear that outside the house is a dangerous place.
