Episode 205
55. The Great Revolution Calling the Storm (3)
The wharf of the Smuggler Guild was bustling with many people today.
It was natural. Because there are no holidays in smuggling.
The more stuff you bring in, the faster you get, the more money you make.
It was a simple economic principle that even a child could understand.
“Fly fast, you bastards! Why are you so slow today?”
The smuggling inspector’s order was issued.

Most of the sailors carrying out the unloading were from back alleys or criminals who had committed crimes from the continent.Those who deal with rough-born people are even more harsh.
He stomped his feet and shouted loudly at the sailors.
“If you finish unloading in two or two hours, I’ll make you drink a lot of beer today!!”
Of course, that didn’t always mean wielding a whip.
They never expect grandiose and large rewards.
Just a few drinks and a few gold coins to enjoy after work is more than enough for a daily wage.
Sailors, who had been hesitant at the supervisor’s words, moved in unison.
Carrots and whips.
He was a man with a knack for using both in the right place and in the right place.
The supervisor looked at the contraband starting to pile up one after another with a satisfied expression on his face.
Since the quantity is small today, it should be enough to finish it in 2 hours.
‘Tomorrow is off-duty, so should I drink a shake after a long time?’
It was a moment when I was imagining the white bubbles rising up and the refreshing yet refreshing throat.
Suddenly, someone tapped his shoulder. At first, I thought it was because of my mood, but I felt a clear pretense of popularity.
“… … ? what?”
You’re going to have to give me nothing to throw away at the smuggling guild’s supervisor without fear.
The supervisor thought so and turned his head.
But the neck had already fallen to the ground.
flash!
A flash of blue flashes, and the head of the beheaded Overseer rolls and rolls.
“Wow, what… … ??”
Even the sailors who witnessed the scene clearly did not understand the situation.
The supervisor, who had been fine until a while ago, had turned into a cold corpse in an instant.
A figure clad in a black robe slowly walked out from among the shadows.
He couldn’t see anything clearly, but he could clearly recognize the white mask that contrasted perfectly with the robe.
Whoa!
As he swung his sword, the overseer’s blood splattered onto the floor.
“Hey, hey!!”

Most of them were quite vicious criminals, but they were people who did not kneel anywhere with momentum alone.There was nothing he could do about the overwhelming sense of intimidation that the monster emanated.
It was the beginning of the massacre.
* * *
It was not only the loading dock where the unidentified raid occurred.
The current situation of the smuggling guild was a crucible of chaos. This was because the entire guild was being attacked by some demons.
A high-ranking demon called Mongma.
As if someone had deliberately released them, the incubus and succubus suddenly poured out.
“Hey hahahaha!! How long have you been running like this?!”
“Your breath is very desirable, be my daily bread.”
The dreamers flapped their wings and swung the entire guild.
The victims, who were unfortunately caught, were sucked in their souls and became corpses with only skins left.
However, not all human beings are suffering.
“Guild Master! Where is the Kuluke Guild Leader!!”
“I do not know! The last time you were in the guild chief’s office… … !!”
“Shit!!”
Even in the midst of such chaos, there is always someone who shines with skill.
Such was the case with Del Highlander, the head of the Special Combat Department of the Smuggler Guild.
“With holy light!!”
A bright light enveloped the gloomy back alley. Perhaps they did not know that there was someone using divine power, so the dreamers retreated hastily.
Del Highlander did not miss the opportunity, and gave orders to the subordinate who was standing next to me.
“Bring the guild leader and the people inside the guild right now! It’s a demon attack! You must run away!!”
“Yes, yep!! Okay. lily!!”
No matter what happened, only the guild leader had to protect.
As the men rushed into the guild building, the special combat members, led by Del Highlander, lined up in unison.
Even if it caused them to temporarily retreat by releasing divine power.
Things weren’t over. Rather, since the divine power was confirmed, it was self-evident that they would pour a more tenacious and powerful attack.
From here, you have to take some time to get to the guild leader and run away.
It was the conclusion of Dell Highlander.
“Huh, I didn’t expect to see a human using divine power in a place like this.”
At that moment, an incubus walked out from among the dreamers who had retreated a bit and said:
“Because I was once a servant of God… … .”
Del Highlander drew his sword and growled.
Ethan Del Highlander.
True to his name, he was originally a former paladin of the Canaanite Temple.
After being almost semi-forcibly expelled from the temple, a man who was taken away by Kuluk Borjigin, who recognized his talent.
Because he was the benefactor who brought him in after he was excommunicated due to an unfortunate incident.
In order to repay the favor, Del Highlander continued to engage in guild missions. There were some very difficult things in the guild, but there was nothing they could do.
Those who show kindness must repay twice as much.
Even if he was a former job, he couldn’t let go of that mindset.
Yes, he was still a paladin.
“Do not destroy you with the light of God. I am Ethan Del Highlander!!”
“I am Morak, the 21st rank incubus and the secretary of the Dream Garden. It would have been nice to be quietly nourished.”
Scared of the end of the common name.
Key-! bang!!
The paladin and the incubus collided.
A slash fires from the sword wrapped in divine power. Morak flew into the air to dodge the attack and recharged his magical energy.
The ominous energy condensed and formed a black sphere.
black salt.
A magic unique to the demons created by grafting magic instead of mana.
Del Highlander was able to block even that by turning it into divine power, but it was not the case with the other guild members nearby.
Aww!!
“Ahhh!!”
People running out screaming. It was better if they wore armor, but those who did not had to suffer fatal injuries.
“eight! My arm-!!”
“Your flesh is rotting! Someone bring some recovery potions!!”
Although Del Highlander had gathered the remaining humans, it seemed that it was not long before it was disbanded.
As soon as the attack of the monsters, which had stopped for a while, started, the ranks began to become very disorganized.
“help me! I don’t want to die!”
A few guild members who tried to escape from the chaos were caught and their souls taken away.
At the terrible sight, Ethan Del Highlander bit her lips.
No matter how much they are now involved in a criminal organization, they too were close friends.
It’s a relationship that we made by exchanging silly jokes and drinking together at a tavern.
‘I’m sorry, but the cause comes first… … ! In order not to let their sacrifice be in vain, we must survive somehow.’
Highlander glanced away and looked at the guild building.
‘But why not show up!’
It’s been a while since my subordinates went inside.
Even Dell didn’t know what the situation was inside the building, but in the worst case, I thought that even the head of the Kulluk Guild might have already suffered.
“Boss!!”
A subordinate beside him pleaded with a pathetic voice.
Will he protect his master who believed in him until the end, or will he even save his subordinates?
I had to make a decision.
“shit!!!”
In a flash, as Del Highlander raised his sword high, a majestic splendor of light poured out.
“Light! Have pity on me!!”
Explosive divine power swept through the area.

Morak quickly deployed a barrier to minimize damage, but there were some monstrosities that did not.They spit blood and fell to the floor. Some lost their wings or lost one side of their body.
A divine power that was tolerable for not being completely annihilated.

Morak felt fear for the first time since Baeksan-woo, the now new owner.“In a place where there is no light, this kind of divine power… … !!”
The spirit of the dreamers was noticeably weakened.
Highlander Dell couldn’t miss that opportunity.
“Everyone, follow me! We have to go to the pier and get on a boat to get out of the island!!”
If I could escape, it would be only now that the siege of the dreamers has weakened.
Del Highlander’s loud voice resounded, and the smuggling guild members with high morale rushed towards the pier all at once.
In the end, he decided to give up the guild leader.
The probability that the raid did not occur inside the building is very low.
It was also a little far from the tavern where Del Highlander and his crew were resting.
It was possible that the guild’s executives, including the guild leader, had already been annihilated before the full-scale attack began.
‘You have to make the time. Besides, it’s an attack by demons, so we need to inform the upper part of Paradise Island… … !’
It wasn’t a simple accident or a trivial fight.
In the 300 years since the Demon King was sealed, there was no case in which Paradise Island was attacked by a dreamer.
It was important.
These dreamers will never stop at the smuggling guild.
Smuggling guilds, hunting guilds, and even information guilds.
After making the back alleys completely devastated, there is only one place for them to target.
paradise island.
It was certain that they would attack the ground where many residents and students lived.
That had to be stopped.
It was the duty given to Dell as a heretic and a paladin in the back alley.
“Perhaps the crew are in the process of unloading. Likewise, there could have been an attack… … ! But don’t panic and get on board!”
“Okay, boss!”
They continued to run towards the pier.
From behind, the desperate screams of those who were finally caught by the pursuers could be heard.
Dell Highlander bit his teeth and continued to run.
Finally arrived at the entrance to the pier.
In the distance, the shape of a huge ship was looming.
“As soon as you arrive, go to your own location! I take the steering! Combatants, protect the other personnel from the monstrosities until the ship departs!!!”
“Yes!!!”
Their eyes were full of determination.
I will surely get out of this hell alive, and I will report everything in detail to the upper part of Paradise Island.
But.
Del Highlander and his companions could not reach the pier.
“… … ?”
The first thing that came into sight were the bodies of the sailors who had fallen and were covered in blood.
It didn’t happen to the monma.
It was cut with a sword, pierced with a spear, and hit by an arrow.
Some were charred as if they had been enchanted.
The moment he realized that, Dell felt a sensation of standing hairs all over his body.
When I instinctively looked behind me, the monsters that had been chasing me took a step back.
Even those demons, beings that cannot be approached prematurely, are lurking in front of them.
“Boss? Why?”
“Fight with the determination to die.”
“Yes?”
“Otherwise it is annihilation.”
Cold sweat dripped down his spine.
Dell draws his sword and slowly moves forward.
match. match. match.
With the sound of applause breaking the heavy silence, a man in a robe appeared.
The blade of the sword held in his hand gleamed with the blood and oil that had been cut.
After that, likewise, another man in robes slowly descends in mid-air.
Del Highlander was able to sense the enormous level of mana circling around it.
Wizard and Swordsman.
They were the ones who created the wharf of slaughter.
“Dell Highlander.”
There is no sense of incongruity, even if it is the voice of the devil.
“I knew you would come here.”
He glanced at Dell and snapped his fingers.
