58. The End
“Move quickly!”
“I’m going to break through like this!”
“Okay! The front legs are tied! Attack everyone!”
A group of adventurers dealing with an unknown monster whose head is covered with grotesque horns.
“Sheesh… They say you’re a gold badge adventurer, how long does it take you to catch one?”
Looking at them from a distance, Becky bit his fingernails.
Thanks to Austin’s warning, he wanted an adventurer with skills in advance, but his skills seemed to be poor compared to the money he spent.
If it had been Austin, I would have caught two already.
‘Still, why didn’t Galan show up in person?’
Fortunately, gambling halls and other businesses did not suffer significant damage. At most, one or two such monsters appeared. The adventurers hired in advance were able to block it somehow.
As she watched her group of adventurers from afar, a member of her gang approached her from afar and whispered to her,
“Boss. It is said that the monster that appeared in the pharmacy was successfully subdued.”
“…That’s great. Report the situation at other workplaces as well.”
“Okay.”
A drug store is a slang term for an underground business that manufactures drugs, and it was a money-maker boasting a high rate of return among Becky’s businesses.
Since businesses hidden throughout the city did not suffer major damage, this level should be restored quickly. I hope the distribution book doesn’t get hit.
‘More than that…’
“Galan appeared in the middle of the market?”
“Yes.”
“Kyaha…!”
Even in front of the gang members, Becky sang joy with a rare big smile. He’s the head of the Merchants’ Guild, and it’s going to be a devastating blow to that old f*cking old man who’s been arguing over the mayor and arrogantly threatening to turn the business upside down.
You can’t miss this genius opportunity. If it’s true that Galran appeared in the middle of the market, then there must be nothing left intact. Damaged merchants will probably complain to the Merchant Guild. Why didn’t you prepare in advance?
The Merchant Guild will automatically weaken, so you can approach and recruit merchants in the gap, and gain an edge in the market.
“Did they say that a crisis is an opportunity? That makes perfect sense.”
“Yes. And, Austin and his colleagues are said to be fighting back.”
“…Really?”
Becky hardened her expression slightly, pondering how the fight between Austin and Galan would play out.
The fight between Austin and Galan. Austin may seem a bit out of place, but he is a talented person with enough skills to proudly enter the warriors’ party in his own way.
Austin’s specialty is interpersonal combat. At one time, he saw Austin’s fighting skills and tried to recruit him as a member of the organization, so Becky also knew how excellent Austin’s fighting skills were.
However, the opponent is the corps commander. Galan, the madman who was expelled from the Mage Tower for murdering his wife and daughter. Of course, it was a rumor that did not have much trust because the source of the rumor was unclear.
“…Well, the colleagues I was with seemed to be doing their own thing, so it should be fine.”
Becky, trying hard to hide her wish for Austin to return safely, approached the group of adventurers who were stabbing the monster that had just been defeated.
If that minus was Austin, it probably wouldn’t matter. Maybe.

“Ro, Emon…?”
Royman is alive. His body, which had been horribly torn apart, was still standing there.
I checked that he had apparently stopped breathing. I’ve tapped my pulse several times.
Royman was definitely dead. He didn’t even have a heartbeat, and I saw with my own eyes the wide open eyes characteristic of a body that had just died, and he didn’t breathe. It must have been.
“Lord Royman…?”
“Priest Royman!”
“Huh…? Priest?!”
Robin, Luna, and Princess Alexis were also embarrassed to see Royman, who had apparently died, standing still.
“No, how do you…”
As I was speechless in an unexpected situation, Royman, who had been glaring at the direction Galan had flown from, turned around and smiled broadly.
“Brother. Justice never dies.”
“What bullsh*t, you idiot…”
I barely held back the tears that overflowed at the moment, and looked at Royman’s condition.
He is clean without even a small wound, let alone the huge wound on his stomach from Royman. Of course, it can’t be helped with the torn and bloodstained priest’s clothes here and there, but…
“What happened? Uh? You must be dead!”
“Right! Father Royman collapsed, and how angry the seniors were…”
Robin also started chattering non-stop, getting excited about Royman’s return.
Hearing that, the memory of Royman going crazy with Galan after he collapsed reminded him of that, and his face turned hot.
f*ck… That’s really embarrassing.
“I have a lot to tell you. But, before that…”
Royman slurred his words and turned his head to see Galan, who stood up with his legs twitching from the rubble in the distance.
“…Before that, we must see the end.”
“…Yes.”
Galan stumbled, shaking off the rubble that was attached to his body. He grabbed onto the outer wall of the half-collapsed building and raised his head toward us.
“Cool! hehehe…! These wormy bastards…!”
Galan’s right arm, which had been wrapped around Royman’s whip, was scorched black as if it had been burned, following the traces of the whip that had been wrapped around it.
Other wounds grew quickly, and the twisted bones were returning to their original positions, but only the part touched by Royman’s whip was noticeably slow to regenerate.
Eventually, Galan, who had risen completely intact, raised his cart wheel with his right hand and began to glar at us as if he were going to kill us.
“What the hell… What the hell is that power! What on earth do you do to have such strong power!!!”
Galan shouted, bleeding from the corners of his mouth.
“I gave up everything…! I gave up everything, including my human life and my humanity, to make this power mine!”
It’s probably unfair. He gave up being human and gave up everything and barely gained power, but Royman died once and came back to life and gained an unknown powerful power.
“It couldn’t have been more unfair! This is nonsense!!! Is this the righteous world you all want!!!”
At Galan’s desperate howl, Royman hardened his face and gripped the flail in his right hand.
“Don’t insult his strength!”
In an instant, Royman’s body moved like lightning and rushed towards Galan.
“…!”
“There is no need for a sermon! If you do not know his true power, I will teach you with his body!”
Quang! Bang! Bang!
Royman’s flail, clad in red lightning, slashed mercilessly toward Galan. Galan was in a hurry to block Royman’s attack by simply lifting the wheel.
Galan, who was blocking Royman’s attack by moving the wheel around, suddenly started spinning the wheel rapidly with a mean smile.
Giyiing—!
That’s…!
“Royman! Damage!!!”
As the bright red blood was about to shoot at Royman, Royman’s right arm with the flail lifted off to the side and slammed Gallan’s shoulder.
Quad Deuk!
“Kwaaah…!”
The blow to his shoulder caused Galan’s wheel to skid, causing the blood fired from it to stumble around and lose its direction.
“This crazy…!”
“Kyaaah!”
Unsurprisingly, it was also fired in our direction.
As we grabbed Argyle and Princess Alexis by the nape of their necks and lowered our heads, Gahlran’s blood passed right over our heads.
“Robin! Luna! We must join in!”
“Yes!”
“Oh, I see!”
“I’ll help too!”
With Argyle’s help, each of us grabbed our weapons and ran towards Galan and Royman, avoiding the rampaging blood and losing direction.
“God! His abominable god!!! If there is a God, how would he explain the absurd things I’ve been through!”
“Don’t make fun of your mouth!!! Everything according to His will…”
Boom!
Galan, whose body was crushed by Royman’s flail, grabbed the flail’s pendulum aiming at his side with his hand and swung the wheel of his cart.
Royman, too, grabbed onto the wheel of the bastard and started glaring at Galan, who was shedding tears of blood.
“No! The god you believe in must be incapable of solving even such absurd things!!! If so, can you really call it a god! What the hell is different from the devil!!!”
“Shut up!!!!!!”
Royman became enraged at Galan’s blasphemous remark and began brandishing his whip mercilessly.
“Hey you crazy guy!!! We are right too!!!”
We struggled to dodge the whip of the angry Royman who swung around, and attempted a joint attack towards Galan.
“Something like this…!”
“Don’t miss it!”
Galan’s attempt to block our attack was thwarted by Roiman’s whip and Argyle’s wax wrapped around the wheel.

Now is your chance. A golden opportunity to put an end to this damn fight.
Despite not being able to move his wagon wheel, he began to fight back, desperately swinging his fist with one of his free arms.
“I…! I can’t fall here…! To accomplish my great mission!!!”
“Keuuugh…! Robin! Luna! Aim for the neck!!!”
As I shouted, holding onto his arm with difficulty, Luna’s spear and Robin’s dagger were slashed at Galan’s neck.
“Kuhhh…! Grrr…”
Having stabbed him in the neck, Galan involuntarily raised his arm and began to block the blood flowing from his pierced neck.
Taking advantage of the moment when Galan’s arms were not free, I immediately bent down and swung his sword at his hamstrings.
Galan’s body, with deep cuts in the hamstrings, naturally fell over. Royman didn’t miss the opportunity and immediately grabbed the back of the head and slammed it to the ground.
Me, Luna, and Robin grabbed the limbs of the fallen Galan and squeezed them down with all our might so that Galan, who had repaired his wounds, could not struggle.
Argyle’s beeswax held Galan’s limbs firmly together in several layers, finishing so that he couldn’t move a single finger.
“Ugh…! Huh…!”
“Seo, senior… We…”
“I won!!!”
Even the wagon wheel that he had been holding on to until the end was gradually losing its light and going out.
The long and fierce battle has finally come to an end.
