Episode 12
The Blood Slayer is an organization to deal with family traitors.
All of them were elite, consisting of agents of special rank or higher.
Their dispatch meant that an important person in the family had betrayed and fled.
As I watched the agents surrounding me and blocking my escape route, I couldn’t shake my uneasy feeling.
‘Did you get caught learning Riverrun’s secret technique? Other than that, there’s nothing else.’
I have been dutifully trained, and have consistently shown perfect mission completion.
There was absolutely no grounds for suspicion in the family.
Before long, someone came out of the middle of the kill squad.
A middle-aged man with a reddish face and wavy brown hair.
It was a bloody bloody slaughter master that I encountered a few times on the way.
“Ray Landsvalger. I ask you for not responding to the family call for six months.”
“Yes? Suddenly, half a year?”
“I think the period is too long to be mistaken. Are you saying that you will continue without knowing?”
With an absurd expression on my face, I looked around the forest of the dead.
It seemed that it did not take even half a day to recover from the ordeal of the tower.
I went in in the morning, so it should be normal by now in the evening.
But the sun was still in the east.
‘The only meal I had was to chew some dry food while leaving the Forest of the Dead. But half a year?’
Something must be wrong.
If he hadn’t come out of the tower for six months, his body would have rotted away by now.
While I was in Esmaranta’s tower, I didn’t eat anything.
That said, it suggested that time passed differently inside and outside the tower.
‘There is no other answer.’
Esmaranta’s tower is still only rumored, and there are too many things that have not been revealed.
It was truly an unknown space, so there was definitely a possibility that time would flow differently.
But it wasn’t easy to prove that fact.
The only way to do that was to push an agent of similar level to me into the tower and wait for half a year.
Besides, there is no guarantee that the passage of time works the same every time.
“Then what will happen next?”
“They must be transported to the island of Black Rin. The disciplinary procedure will be decided by the headquarters. If you follow me obediently, considering that you are a direct descendant, I won’t bother you.”
After quickly completing the calculations in my head, I untied the scabbard from my waist.
Then, the atmosphere of the Bloody Blood Slayer changed instantly.
Of course, he seemed to have predicted that he would resist.
However, I put the Black Dragon Sword on the ground with its sheath.
Then, calmly, he held out his hands.
“Okay. Take care of yourself.”
Then, the killer’s eyes shook slightly.
He was probably thinking about how proud he was of a fugitive assassin.
Until now, there would have been no traitor with such crazy taste.
As the head hesitated, the members could not move, only shining their eyes.
He took a step forward towards the bloody bloody killing squad, holding out his hands even longer.
“What are you doing? Take me.”
Sussuk!
When I, who is normal to run away, approached, the crew sneaked back.
It seemed that he did not believe in the declaration of surrender itself.
“No, did everyone just buy tricks? Why are those who became special agents so scared?”
My remarks seemed to have hurt my pride, and only then did the order to kill me fall.
“Do not delay, seize.”
Then, without a sound, the slaughter squad members approached and meticulously tied me up.
Of course, a thorough search was also conducted.
It was common for assassins to hide their weapons somewhere secret.
“Eugh! You can’t go there. Brothers, I’m not like that.”
I twisted my body and fluttered at the touch that did not hesitate to scan even the most private places.
Every time that happened, the eyes of the crew members became more and more absurd.
It was a look like what the hell is all this.
Either that or not, this time he jiggled playfully while examining the handcuffs.
“There is nothing wrong.”
“Put it in.”
After many twists and turns, the slaughter squad members picked me up in the wagon loading dock.
It was like an animal cage.
Eventually, the wagon left the Forest of the Dead behind and headed for the Daysol Wasteland.
* * *
The road to Black Rin’s Island was a long journey of about two months.
The party passed through the Borough of Aberdeen and moved westward along the southern coast.
“It’s been two months already, and there’s no sign of his mouth shutting up?”
“Yeah… blocking it didn’t help much, so I just left it.”
To the question of the slaughter master, the member in charge of surveillance answered me while glancing at me in the cage.
“I’m going to turn around. I’m afraid I’ll have to force out the sinner who is bored.”
“The intensity of the crew’s work has increased too much. Everyone prefers to stay vigil at night.”
“It could be. When you sleep, that babbling mouth will be quiet. Any signs of escape?”
“that…….”
Immediately after overhearing the confidential conversation, I shouted loudly at the two of them.
“You’re pointing out that it’s a mistake. Escape will only lead to misunderstandings, so what are you doing?”
Then, the face of the slaughter lord was distorted sternly.
“Oh, damn it. Here we go again. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it, so you can take care of it.”
“Will you be done with work in a little while?”
“Then pass it on to the next one. Good job.”
“No, my lord. What should I do if I just provoke that parrot and then just leave? Yes?”
The lone member of the crew shouted pathetically, but Daeju had already fled far away.
I smiled mischievously as I tapped the worker on the back with a wooden stick.
“I’m bored, so let’s eat nogarina. hehehe.”
“Please shut up!”
It was around the time that more than 15 days had passed, and they had almost reached the Port of Phyllos.
While camping in an empty lot near a trade route, the slaughter master sneaked up to me and started talking to me.
He only ran away to meet him, and he was quite unexpected.
It was probably the last time, so it seemed that he had gained courage.
“It’s close to my home now, but it’s still noisy.”
“Ah, originally, when I’m nervous, I talk a lot.”
“why?”
“If you’re asking why, it’s when I’m on the island of Black Rin. I’ll advance to the empire, the stage of my dreams. Everywhere I go, ask for an autograph, ask me to meet, women hang around me, and I’m…”
“Wait! That’s it. I won’t tolerate any more nagging.”
“Ayy, I’ve started now, but you’re doing too much.”
“I’m getting the urge to dispose of it immediately. So shut up.”
As the two-much talking spree was about to begin, the killer threatened with a ghastly voice.
I said so, but I couldn’t really kill him.
If the immediate family is disposed of without trial, it will face a backlash.
I pretended to close my mouth with my hand at the violent reaction of the killer.
‘Was it a bit harsh?’
Severe treatment was originally scheduled for the sinners who were sent to prison.
Besides, I was an escaped agent for six months.
However, perhaps because of the constant mental attacks, the Slaughter Squad members acted more cautiously as the days passed.
If the small talk dispenser was activated properly, it would be safe to say that he had slept through the night.
It felt like the main guest had changed for a while.
The killer shook his head and looked at me.
“This is the last time, so can I make one suggestion?”
“Yes? I’m a prisoner behind bars. What do you ask for?”
“If you keep your mouth shut and go to Black Rin’s Island, I’ll tell you as objectively as possible. How about that?”
“Ah. Then it’s not fun.”
“You bastard, this is for fun…”
“Huh? Your remarks are quite harsh?”
“……Answer the question.”
The slaughter master immediately turned around.
He seemed to have decided that only he would be at a disadvantage if he continued to mix things up.
“What is it?”
After nodding his head and licking his lips, Dae-joo hurriedly turned around.
It seemed that he didn’t want to deal with me anymore.
Finally, I quietly closed my eyes.
I had something to think about anyway, so being quiet was not a bad environment.
‘As I climbed to the 4th tier, I was able to spread the perfect horse meat.’
In other words, it meant that the perfection of the newly created secret skill would increase.
I called the Dancheonguhwa sword combined with the killing method the Dancheon Demonstration Sword.
Since it had become so different from the original Biggie, a name change was essential.
Establishing the essentials of the sword method has progressed to a considerable extent.
‘It’s a bit unfortunate that I haven’t actually tried the Dancheonpokryun.’
In Dancheon Ilseom, the silence of the silent method was added.
This was just a little bit of a killing method, so I didn’t change the name in particular.
However, from the second stage, it has changed significantly.
The second secret skill, Dancheon Yuseong, was named Dancheon Pokryun (斷天爆侖).
The explosive appearance was similar, but it was mixed with horse meat to add stealth.
The third was Dancheon Mawol, which was completed first.
‘It’s worth doing until here. The problem is next.’
The 4th herbivore of Dancheongu Flower Sword could be learned only after reaching Tier 3.
However, it was unreasonable to mix horse meat with a secret machine of that much power.
Perhaps a higher level of killing is needed.
Of course, that was possible only when he threw off his current bridle.
If the punishment was heavy, he might not be able to participate in the next California match.
In order to complete his revenge as soon as possible, he had to avoid such a situation.
‘I’m curious how the acting head of household will turn out.’
Recalling Kairam’s cold face, I faced the dark pier.
The carriage was gradually approaching the fishing boat.
