“Is this here?”
A room located in the deepest part of the underground hideout.
According to the gang member’s story, there will be a gang boss in this room.
“The door is… Closed.”
Kwajik-!
The door was closed, so I had no choice but to kick it in and step inside and found a man waiting in front of the door.
The man was a young man in his late 20s with a red mask and impressive red hair.
“…I don’t know what kind of rat it is, but it seems to have camouflage.”
The red-haired man looked at the smashed door and took out a round marble from his pocket. Then he held out the round orb to the broken door and began to inject his magic into it.
[The eyes of discrimination look right through you.]
“…What the f*ck?”
-It’s a magic item that has a camouflage search effect called Discrimination Iris. It’s quite expensive, so it’s probably an item that is rarely used unless you’re a noble…
The red-haired man looked at me, who was revealed due to the effect of the eyes of discrimination, and asked a question with an expression of discomfort.
“Who sent it?”
“What bullsh*t are you talking about when you send assassins first?”
“…I see, the dark-haired man…Was it you who took the stone?”
“You notice it so quickly.”
‘Emotion’
[LV 47 Denver]
HP: 5416/5416
Mana: 2451/2451
Status: None
The red-haired man’s name was Denver, and he had a fairly high level of 47.
Of course, it was no different that he was a worm who hadn’t even been able to change his 3rd job. To beat me, you would have to do at least the 4th job change, but the 2nd job change… Isn’t it ignoring me too much?
“It seems that the subordinates suffered because of your camouflage ability.”
“The result would not have been different even if there was no camouflage ability?”
“That kind of bravado doesn’t work.”
Denver started to get into a fighting stance, lowering his stance and raising his hands at the same time.
However, there was something peculiar about Denver’s fighting stance. He basically didn’t carry a weapon, and he wasn’t even wearing a gauntlet or knuckle.
It’s literally ‘bare handed’ martial arts posture itself.
“A fighter?”
“That’s right. Growing up in a back alley, it’s a skill I’ve honed my whole life.”
“Ohh..!”
From noble mtl dot com
The extreme inefficiency of bare-handed martial arts. To think that there were other people besides the Beast King who really used it… To be honest, I was a bit surprised.
“This bastard.. Is a bit romantic..!”
“…Romantic..? I don’t know what you’re talking about, but if you underestimate my fighting skills, you’ll get your nose hurt.”
Denver began to emanate mana from his fists.
Just as there is sword skill in swordsmanship, there is strong skill in boxing. The mana that Denver exudes from his hand right now is probably one of those strong forces.
“I’ll finish it with just one shot..!”
Denver opened his eyes and poured his mighty fists at me.
‘It’s pretty strong, isn’t it?’
-Anyway, it’s only level 47.
Let’s think about it. Right now Denver’s fist is flying towards me. After roughly 0.02 Seconds, Denver’s fist will hit my cheekbone, and there won’t be much damage, but it will definitely feel dirty.
Hmm, out of sincerity, I thought that at least one shot would be acceptable, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Above all, Denver’s fists living in this filthy hideout were not clean, so they would definitely cause trouble on my clean skin.
Okay, let’s just send it all at once.
“[Psychokinesis]”
Kwajik-!
It’s something I’ve been feeling lately, but this [Psychokinesis] Ability was very specialized in slaughtering low-level people.
Mana was not used that much, and the utilization was endless, so it was easy to target the opponent’s vital points.
From the high level above 70, the durability became so high that the criterion for vital points disappeared, so it was unavoidable that [Psychokinesis] Did not work, but the lower levels had no choice but to be hit by the power of [Psychokinesis].
Same goes for Denver, who now collapsed in front of my eyes.
“But didn’t I say that this is a room that only executives can enter? What is this guy?”
-I think he’s probably an executive in the organization.
“The executive is level 47…”
To express Denver’s strength as a monster, it was somewhere between Hell Hound and Abyss Wolf.
What are you talking about? I do not know either.
I just said it because it felt like it.
-But, my lord, there seems to be a passage that goes deeper underground.
“…Hmm? Really.”
In the room, there was a huge round table and 5 chairs, and in the corner of the room was a staircase leading to a deep basement.
‘It wouldn’t be strange if I just suffocated at this depth, but the gangsters here are alive and well.’
-…Oh my… King, I can feel the demons underground.
“Magi…? If it’s Magi…”
Magi
A special aura that is many times stronger than normal mana with magic power used by demons.
The fact that such a dangerous demonic energy was felt in the basement meant that there was a high probability that the boss was messing around with the Devil’s Stone.
-More speed King, if you don’t interrupt the ceremony quickly, the demon will be summoned.
“It bothers me… “
I tried to take my time and clean up the organization, but things went wrong.
I don’t know what kind of bastard he is, but when I meet him, it doesn’t end well.
-Night Fog.
“Wow! What is it?”
-Leave yourself in the fog.
At that time, Veronica’s black mist came out from my shadow and began to surround me.
At the same time, the fog started to move fast like ktx.
-I’ll break through at once!
“Okay…Uhhhhh?!”
But as someone with experience riding Veronica’s limited express fog train, I would advise you. If you want to live a long time, it would be good for your health not to ride this train.
This is really fast.
Shuuu-!
“Poetry..Sivaaar!!”
-Keep your spirits tight.
As long as you have a [Cool mind], You will never faint.
But I felt dizzy and if I rode for a long time, I would be able to meet my real ancestors.
“Kuhheh?!”
“..Bar…Didn’t you hit someone just now..?!”
-Ignore it.
A collision occurred in the middle, but Veronica calmly continued driving as if she didn’t care at all.
I don’t know what kind of guy the guy hit by the fog is, but I wish him good luck.
“Uh…When will it end!!”
But how big this hideout was, it took Veronica’s high-speed fog train to reach the end after 10 seconds.
-We’ve almost reached the place where you can feel the demon. King, from here on your own.
“…Wow…”
Originally, when I was in Korea, I didn’t really like going to amusement parks.
Because I had a lot of fear of rides, I would always sit on a bench and watch them having fun while riding rides since I was young.
Thanks to that, there were some kids who teased me saying that I couldn’t ride this too, and I hope they get on the Veronica’s Fog Train.
Ah, but do dogs die from being burned?
-I can feel the thick demonic energy inside of me.
“…That’s right… It’s very unpleasant when something is messed up..”
-…Isn’t that just because of motion sickness?
“…”
Is that so..?
***
In a large room filled with ominous demons, there was a man wearing a hooded cloak and looking at me.
Behind the man, there was a large door about 3m tall, with demonic energy pouring out, firmly closed.
“..If you came here, that means Denver and Farrell got hurt..”
“What are you again?”
“I am Apocalypse’s executive and the Four Heavenly Kings, Dexter…!”
Kwajik-!
I’m sorry, but I don’t have time right now.
Originally, I would listen until I introduced myself, but since it was such an urgent situation, I didn’t even use [Emotion] And killed it.
“The door…Is closed, of course.”
After dealing with Dexter or Buster or something, I approached the big door and tried to open it, but it wouldn’t budge.
I don’t know what material the door was made of, but it seems to be made of a fairly hard ore as it doesn’t break even with my strength stat.
“[Envy]”
Kwagang-!
Of course, before [Envy]’S magic penetration, no matter how hard the ore was, its meaning disappeared.
Now it was time to look at that handsome boss bastard.
“Come out when I say nice things? There’s nowhere to run now.”
“…You’re such a nuisance…”
I went inside and shouted loudly, and a middle-aged man in his late thirties with a large scar over his right eye appeared from the center of the room.
[LV 61 Shima]
HP: 1712/15616
Mana: 516/7514
Status: Unable to recover HP
“Sima? What a f*cking unique name.”
“..Are you a guy with emotional abilities?”
“..That’s right…What’s wrong with you?”
Seen through [Emotion], Shima’s condition was as close to dying as it was.
Besides, it seemed that he couldn’t even recover his physical strength, seeing that the ‘cannot recover physical strength’ was attached to the status.
“You bastard… Did you really use your own stamina and mana as ingredients?”
“Keukkeuk…It’s already too late. Sooner or later, the devil who will destroy the empire will descend into this world..!”
Sima started to laugh out loud with a bizarre expression that seemed to be submerged in madness.
‘..Have you ever been f*cked..?’
-The magic is getting stronger, if it’s this much… The appearance of the least aristocratic demon is certain.
‘f*ck…’
The demon summoning ritual had already been successfully completed.
I heard from Veronica that aristocratic demons are monsters that are difficult even for you to deal with.
‘Is there any way to stop it?’
-As far as I know, none.
‘I really f*cked up.’
Since Veronica, the human library, says she doesn’t know, it seems that the summoning of demons has become a fait accompli.
“Now! Come out! Devil, burn the empire…”
“Shut up.”
Fire-!
Suzaku’s flames spewed out from my hand, covering Shima’s entire body and starting to burn him.
“hahahahaha! Kill! Destroy! hahahaha!!!”
Shima did not stop laughing madly even though his body was being turned to ashes by the flames of Suzaku.
In the end, in the short time when all of his stamina was reached, Shima burned to death with a smile on his face.
Geeeing-!!!
-…Prepare..! The gate to the Pandemonium will open soon!
“Shibaaal..!! I came here for no reason!”
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have come.
-Gooooo!!!
“What?!”
At that moment, a large crack began to form in the center of the room.
Ominous demonic energy was pouring out from the rift like a waterfall, and small objects such as dust and rocks containing mana began to vibrate.
‘…Someone is coming…?’
From what I saw through my mana sense, something was about to emerge from beyond the rift.
“Who called me…”
