3. Dragon’s Eye, Human Mind (18)
A number of sleek new models stood above the narrow hallway.
The extremes and extremes of the straight-lined street corner were the starting point and the enemies were located. The enemy was about five to six, but it was unknown who would pop out of the door located in the middle of the hallway.
The stairs were on the other side.
Looking at the side of the glance, there was a guide map drawn. On the map on the second floor, the words ‘Chief’s Office’ stood out. In other words, it meant that you had to climb those stairs to conquer the newspaper department.
Of course, since it was the base of an intelligence organization, the guide map could not be trusted straight away. However, it was only inferred that the approximate structure would be similar.
It wasn’t me who had to cling to it in the first place, it was the other side.
It was clear which side would be more difficult if the true identity of the newspaper department was revealed. The Newspaper Club had a motive to subdue me.
If that’s the case, it’s enough for me to accept the fight. The corners of my lips twisted and curled up.
“… … Come on.”
At the language of provocation that came out again, the shadows scattered.
It was at the same time that I finally took a step.
The first to rush in was a newspaper clerk who had been hit in the shoulder with an axe. The man who had followed me from the front door took out another dagger from his bosom, as if he still lacked it.
Of course, my pace was faster than that.
Pak, and my ax cut off the man’s remaining shoulder. An eerie feeling of crushing cartilage passed through my hand.
Along with blood, the scream of the man who rushed at me burst out.
“Quaagh!”
Leaving behind the man who was sitting down, another step, two models were rushing towards me.
The piercing through the streets was fierce.
The two daggers were twisted at an odd angle. A wonderful swordsmanship that seemed like a painting, but the intention was obvious.
In the gap between cutting off the dagger, he must be thinking of driving the blade into me.
Of course, he didn’t have to match his intentions. My arm was held high as I was pulling out the axe.
As I clenched my teeth, the muscles in my arms contracted. It was in the next moment that the ax exploded.
Rather, it was a speed that was more suitable for the expression of light.
The rush of hatchets that hit the muscular strength enhanced by magic to the limit was terrifying. In an instant, a pure white trajectory was engraved in a straight line.
One of the daggers that had been flying with a kang bounced off with a pitiful crash. There was still one dagger left, but it didn’t matter.
I kicked off the ground and started running.
Time, which showed a dull flow, was released at once.
“Eww,” echoed the sound of the ax cutting half of the forearm bone. Perhaps he hadn’t known that he would throw away his armament in this situation, the newspaper club man’s eyes widened.
But that was just the beginning.
By the time I twisted and dodged one of the daggers, the hatchet changed its trajectory. The ax that was fired again cut down one remaining newspaper member.
It was a man who was preparing to take a leap.
His body, which had just risen in the air, could not overcome the momentum of the hatchet. His upper body collapsed.
The sound of flesh and muscle crushing was a bonus.
By that time, I was already close to the leading newspaper staff. He just stared blankly down at his arm, where the ax blade had been lodged.
Of course, there was no way he could react to me.
My body immediately crashed into the newspaper staff.
With a thump, the two hard bodies collided.
“Gagging!”
A suffocating sound flowed from the newspaper clerk’s mouth at the collision from the shoulder.
A man fell down like that, and I pulled an ax from the shoulder of the newspaperman who fell in the air.
Then, he drove the ax blade into his remaining shoulder, which had fallen to the floor.
A groan, a ringing sound in my ears.
“Quaagh!”
Now two, my eyes scanned the remaining enemies like a beast.
The other two were leaping toward the wall. And the last one seemed to be muttering a chant. As always, the mage was a tricky opponent.
The swords of the two women who hit the wall were fired at me.
Another dagger, only the tip was shiny. It was clear that the venom would be applied.
My hand ripped open the space.
The blades of two women, bent in bizarre trajectories, passed by me.
It was close. If I had been even a little late, I wouldn’t have been safe.
Another step, my hatchet crushed the two women’s shoulders one by one with merciless speed.
“Kyaah!”
“Ouch… … !”
One of the two, biting his lip, suppressed the screams as if he had been trained. Even so, it was like being scattered on the ground.
By that time, the sorcerer’s chant was already coming to an end. I didn’t have many options.
Another hatchet was thrown.
The fierce piercing sound continued like a trajectory, and the light pierced it. It was inevitable that a scream would come out of the wizard’s mouth.
It was then that someone hit my side as I was kicking the ground again.
I heard a crackling sound and looked around to see that the door had been crushed. A white blade flashed between the shadows protruding from within.
This attack was unstoppable.
Whoops, the dagger slammed into my arm and my body staggered across from it. It was fortunate that he raised his arm at the end to block it.
The man didn’t even seem to want to pull out the dagger. He immediately withdrew his hand and tried to pull something out of me.
It must have been another military commander hidden away, I wasn’t the one to leave it as it is.
My free arm grabbed the man’s arm. A look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.
If you’ve done some research on me, you should have a rough idea of what the next move will be.
With all his might, he pulled his arm over his shoulder. Like a thunderbolt, the man’s body slammed into the hallway.
A thud, the shockwave shook the wooden floor.
“Ke-keek… … !”
A funny moan escaped from the man’s mouth, unable to overcome the shock. It was worth it.
Because the hallway was too narrow, his lower body was closed against the wall and bent at a right angle. I heard a boom, so I must have strained my spine.
It must be painful, I finally caught a glimpse of the convulsive body.
When I raised my hand, the hatchet thumped and tapped my palm. My eyes scanned the front indifferently.
With a squeaking sound, the doors along the hallway opened.
There were two rooms left up to the stairs, and two people walked out of them.
I asked, bursting out laughing.
“Are you finished?”
Of course, no answer came back.
A woman who was the closest to me ran up to me. A dagger was in each hand.
It was a difficult opponent. I took a step forward and slammed the ax down.
Kak, my ax blade dug in between the crossed daggers. Arms trembled, but the hatchet was essentially a one-armed weapon, not two daggers.
As the woman gritted her teeth and hit the axe, a gap naturally formed in me. The woman immediately tried to dig into my arms.
The only thing she had forgotten for a while was that the hatchet was a weapon wielded with one arm, so I still had one arm left.

Just as I had prepared in advance, the hand that was groping my waist emitted a beam of light.
It didn’t even make a sound.
The sword blade pulled out hit the woman’s side. I blocked it with my arm, but I couldn’t help but stagger from the unexpected blow.
that was the patch
My hatchet sliced off the woman’s arm, and another body was scattered on the floor.
Worried that she would rise up again, I trampled the wrist of my remaining arm and crushed it.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … .”
A suppressed moan escaped from the woman’s mouth along with a horrifying sound. That was enough.
My eyes turned to the last remaining opponent.
He threw down the weapon he was preparing as if he had waited.
It was a wire.

Judging by the weight attached to the end, it seemed that it could be used for striking as well as suppression in case of emergency.
As expected, it was an eccentric armament befitting the Imperial Intelligence Service.
The weight changed its trajectory like a living snake. I started running right away.
And right before the weight and I collided.
My upper body leaned backward and my body slid across the floor. I stretched out my arm and grabbed the wire.
Pajik, it felt like a precursor to an electric current. I don’t know why, but it was a car I already knew.
I immediately twisted my body and pulled as if I was going to run into a wire.
A hook, and a feeling of something coming along touched my fingertips. At the same time, a crackling current flowed through my arm muscles.
An electric shock, my muscles contracted on their own, and the electric current that penetrated to my brain created a blue spark.
However, there were no good points.
Due to the forcible contraction of the muscle, the force pulling the wire was increased. The man’s body flew through the air like a fish caught on a fishing pole.
With a thump, his body hit the floor and bounced up once. It was around that time that the electricity was cut off.
I applied strength and pulled again, and the man’s body was pulled towards me. As the distance got smaller every moment, the man’s eyes were stained with fear.
Because I already had a hatchet in my hand.
The moment he reached in front of me was the last.
Pak, and bloodstains flew through the air.
“Uh, off… aagh!”
I had to cover my ears with my remaining hand to the screams that burst out again as if it were natural. Even so, the crying that penetrated the rest of the ears did not go away.
I said in a pitiful voice.
“Stop screaming, huh? He’s your spy. Can you use it because you can’t stand the pain?”
“Hey, heck… Mmm, you crazy bastard… … .”
However, despite my bruises, the man only giggled and laughed.
He warned me with a fierce smile.
“Go, dare you touch the Imperial Secret Service? Do you still think you’ll be okay?”
I was silent for a while. My eyes moved slightly to the side, then looked down at the man again.
Sigh, a smile came to my lips.
“Then why are you touching me?”
And before the man could even open his mouth, as if to retort, my hatchet cut down on the man’s shoulder once again.
The man’s body wriggling in pain, and a tearing scream erupted from his mouth again.
It was still noisy. I couldn’t stand it any longer and kicked him in the head.
The man’s screams were cut off with a pop.
It was because of fainting.
And that was it.
The newspaper department was annihilated. There was only one person left.
My eyes scanned across the stairs. It was blurry, but heat was leaking out. It was clear that someone was there.
As if I had received an invitation, I turned around as if possessed.
The ‘Queen of the Prom’ was waiting.
