58 – Distance to the Sun – 4
“Tie tight!”
“Why do slum bastards come all the way here?”
After a little commotion, the security guards were called into the tavern.
After that, I started arresting the black mask guys lying on the floor one by one.
“What is this bastard almost dying?”
“Are these guys dead or alive?”
The soldiers of the guards tilted their heads as if they were a little taken aback when they saw them on the verge of dying.
I hit it with all my strength, but the black mask guys were so weak that I failed to control my stamina.
If I had hit them with a little more force, one or two people would have died.
“Did you subdue these guys?”
“…Who?”
At that time, a man who seemed to be the leader among the guards approached me.
The man started asking me about the black mask guys while stroking his mustache that had grown nicely.
“I am Krem, the captain of the 6th Battalion of the Street Guard of the Sun. I heard from the reporter that you subdued these guys.”
“What is it?”
“Hmm… Then it seems that the level is quite high. The captain of these guys was at the level of an imperial knight.”
“Yes..Well, the level is high, but…”
In fact, even if you go over level 50, you are recognized as a fairly high level in this world.
I heard that the general level of knights in the kingdom is around level 50?
“Then could you tell me more about the situation?”
“…What was the situation at the time?”
You just beat, hit, blow, kick?
-Then aren’t you asking what purpose those guys raided the tavern for, other than the situation…
‘Ah. Is it?’
I feel embarrassed for no reason.
“It seems that those black women wanted to own this tavern.”
“Why?”
“…Why are you asking me that sword? I should ask the kids.”
“…That’s true.”
The captain of the guard cleared his throat, looking a little taken aback by my direct answer.
Then he changed the subject and asked me again.
“Hmmm… But what are you? All the powerful people living around me know about it, but I’m seeing you for the first time today.”
“….A mysterious swordsman passing by.”
“I heard from the reporter that he used a fist?”
“If you go beyond a certain level, your fist becomes your sword.”
“…Is…Is that so…?”
Can you believe that?
A fist is a fist and a black sword. How are they the same?
“That’s amazing… Using your hand as a sword…”
“…Do you believe this?”
“…What did you say?”
“No. Originally, the culmination of nothingness can be achieved only when the body reaches the level of divine and sword union, in which the entire body becomes a sword. Even though you are old, if you work hard, you will be able to stand on the same level as me. .”
“Ohh…”
The captain of the guard stared at me intently, his eyes twinkling like a child watching an anime for the first time.
I just said it as a joke, but I felt a little sorry because I thought you believed it with all your heart.
“Boss! Arrested everyone!”
“Hmm? Already?”
“Everyone is passed out. I need to finish it quickly.”
“hahahaha, you’re right. Then let’s go back.”
As per the captain’s words, the guards began to arrest the black mask guys and move them to the prison.
The captain of the guard looked at his men to see if they were carrying out the Black Masks properly, and after he was somewhat organized, he approached me again.
“Hey… Do you have a name?”
“Me?”
“Yes.”
“I…”
For a moment, I was troubled.
How should I answer?
Should I just say Fist King like I dealt with the Black Mask guys earlier?
But in fact, I wondered if that was necessary now.
This person isn’t even an enemy, so he didn’t have to hide his name.
“My name is Gaon.”
“Gaon…That’s a strange name. It’s the first time I’ve heard of a name like that in my life.”
“It’s the name my parents gave me…”
“…What a wonderful name! It’s one of the best names I’ve ever heard!”
As expected, in another world, Gabulgi existed.
You should use it occasionally.
“Hmmm…But I’m asking just in case, haven’t there been a lot of criminals like this in the streets of the sun lately?”
“I don’t know why I came to the street for the first time today.”
“Then it can’t be helped, but it seems that criminal organizations that were active in the town of the moon recently entered the town of the sun. Thanks to that, the guards are not the only ones suffering.”
“Oh, you must be having a hard time…But why are you suddenly saying that…?”
In an instant, I felt something sharp.
I’m sure the captain of the guard didn’t say that for no reason… I think he’s hoping for something?
“So…Could you help me take down that criminal organization?”
f*ck, my forebodings were never wrong.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll decline.”
“I will pay enough.”
“I don’t need money.”
If you nod your head here, you will go out for a while and then go out and clear up a criminal organization.
So never say no. Denied death. Even if they offered me 10,000 gold coins, it would be rejected.
“I will give you 10 gold coins as my reward. How is it?”
“No need.”
“Heh heh…Young man is too mean.”
The captain of the guard sighed as if he had finally given up on collaborating with me because of my continued refusal.
“I can’t help it because I refuse so much…”
“Sorry, I’m a busy person.”
Busy b*tch, I almost died of boredom until just now.
Then, suddenly, one of the guards came up to the captain and handed him an item.
“Captain, this item came from the guy who seems to be the captain of these black masks.”
“…What is it?”
“I don’t know. I just brought it because it looked a little strange.”
The item confiscated from the captain of the black masks by the guards was a very unusual looking stone, with a brilliant purple color on the outside that was very impressive.
Seeing that I couldn’t feel mana, I thought it was just a slightly unusual stone.
-..I can’t believe that…
Then, Veronica was very surprised when she saw the purple stone.
-That stone…If I’m right, it looks like a demon stone used in demon summoning ceremonies.
‘..Devil’s Stone?’
What is that stone with that terrifying name?
-The Devil’s Stone is the main ingredient in a ritual to summon a demon from the Underworld. Judging by its size, it could summon a lower level demon.
‘Isn’t it okay if it’s a lower level demon?’
Wouldn’t it be a problem if it wasn’t a top level demon but a low level one? No matter how much you call it a devil, it’s a low class.
-King, what do you think would happen if you threw a fragment of chaos into the middle of the street of the sun?
‘…Will the damage be great?’
-Yes, and lesser demons have similar powers to those Chaos Fragments.
From noble mtl dot com
‘..Amy…’
If I, now at level 56, had a one-on-one match with the Fragments of Chaos, I was confident enough to win.
But if you ask me if I can defeat the Chaos Fragment without taking any damage, the answer is no.
The Fragment of Chaos was still a threatening monster even for me, who became stronger at level 56.
If a demon with power similar to that of a fragment of chaos falls in the middle of the capital… It will surely cause great damage.
“It’s just a stone. Throw it away.”
“Okay.”
The guards and the captain didn’t know anything about the Devil’s Stone, so they thought it was just a normal stone and tried to throw the stone on the ground.
Seeing that, I quickly ran over and grabbed the wrist of the guard who was about to throw the stone and forcibly stopped his arm.
“Ugh…What are you?”
“Wait, could you give me that stone?”
Let’s deal with that demon stone quickly.
If you’ve been ignoring it for nothing and then one day suddenly a demon is summoned in the middle of the capital, your dream will become savage.
“This stone? You can have it if you want… Why?”
“Actually, collecting stones is my hobby…”
“….Has a peculiar taste. Here it is.”
The guard handed me the Devil Stone with a curious look on his face.
But how do we deal with this now?
-Can’t we handle it the king’s way?
‘My way…?’
Is there such a thing?
…Could you, Veronica,…
-Let’s eat.
‘…….’
I knew it would be like this.
Yes, the end is always this ending.
***
After that, I returned to the imperial castle carefully keeping the Devil’s Stone.
Going into the room and lying down on the bed, I took out the Devil’s Stone from my pocket and rolled it around with my hand.
“Hmm…”
They say it’s a devil’s stone, but is it okay to eat it?
…It’s okay, because [Baal Zebub] Was originally a devil’s ability.
I opened my mouth while lying on the bed, dropped the devil’s stone from the top of my mouth, and swallowed it in one bite.
Then I felt a texture like a cold snack in my mouth.
[Baal Zebub is activated.]
[Acquire Magic Resistance LV 1.]
[You have learned to summon demons.]
[Summon Demon: Summons a demon at a cost. Depending on the value of the price, the demon summoned will be different.]
“Oh?”
The ability obtained by consuming the Devil’s Stone was better than expected.
If you have one normal ability and one unique ability, you did well.
The problem was that the effect of [Summon Demon], A unique ability, was really useless.
“[Demon Summon]…Will the day come when I use this?”
-Well…If the king gains enough power to subjugate demons, it will be possible.
Still, I decided to be satisfied with the fact that I got one more unique ability.
In fact, it was strange to expect something big since it was an ability obtained by catching the weakest nerds.
“By the way, did they really try to summon a demon? It’s like destroying your own house.”
-Human nature is uglier than you think, my king. Didn’t I tell you before that humans are born evil?
Human nature is evil.
I definitely admit this to some extent.
Because I was more selfish than righteous.
-Isn’t there a famous saying related to this in the king’s hometown?
“…Saying?”
-Human greed has no end and repeats the same mistake…Was it?
“It’s not a saying.”
…But is it a saying? Wasn’t it just a phrase coined on the Internet?
You don’t have to worry about that. It is a fact that no one can deny that it is a saying that touches the heart.
-…But suddenly I have a question.
“What is it?”
-How did the mere gangsters get the Devil’s Stone?
If you ask me that…
But isn’t it strange? It looks like it’s just a group of thugs, but it has such a dangerous thing…
– Hmm… Something smells.
“Smells like something big is going on?”
-No, I don’t think it’s that far…
“..Really?”
Before that, did the Black Mask guys know that this was a demon stone?
It was just a uniquely shaped stone, so there was a good chance that he was carrying it because it was strange.
-Still, wouldn’t it be important that one demon stone was erased from the world?
“But is there any meaning in deleting this one? There could be other demon stones.”
-That’s true, but don’t worry too much. Most of the demon stones that exist in the world are stored in the warehouse of my mansion in the Demon Kingdom anyway, so there will be no sudden appearance of demons.
What, Veronica, did you have one?
Not just one, but most?
-Because I was well aware of the dangers of the Devil’s Stone, I found it and kept it.
“They piled up and piled up so much, didn’t it?”
-That’s right.
Isn’t that what Taesan uses in this situation?
But that’s only true if you’ve lived a dirty long life like Veronica…
“Creepy!”
-I’ll hit you two this time.
“Wait…! Phehehe?!”
Why is the ending always like this?
***
“…The Devil’s Stone was stolen?”
“Yes, because the guy I had was caught by the guards…”
“Such an idiot…!”
The man wearing the hood hit the wall hard and gnashed his teeth.
“Which one took the Devil’s Stone…?!”
“Yes! I heard that a man in his 20s with dark hair took the Devil Stone.”
“…Take the Devil’s Stone from him right now! Kill him! Bring me the stone and I’ll give you a big reward!”
“Yes!”
They didn’t know.
The fact that the Devil’s Stone you’ve been looking for is already in someone’s stomach…
