Episode 207
55. The Great Revolution That Calls the Storm (5)
“Go away!!”
The search leader of the hunting guild, Cortes, swung the dagger in both hands.
Whoops!
Two people with their necks cut in an instant fell like fallen leaves.
They were once a part of the same guild, but they had a face-to-face relationship.
In the current situation, it is just an obstacle in the way.
Cortés did not hesitate.
He raced through the blood-smelling aisle, and cut down all those blocking his way.
Butcher Cortes.
There is a reason why she got such a bloody nickname.
“There it is!! Catch that bastard!!”
One of the information guild masters shouted. Among the crowd, she threw a memorization at the man who was giving orders.
“Ugh!!”
A memorization of a precise hit in the middle of the forehead. He died, leaving only a single word.
“Where are you going?”
No matter how much the Master of the Information Guild, he couldn’t dare to stand up to the professionals of hunting and chasing.
hunting guild
An executive of a legitimate murder agency who lives by hunting criminals.
It was an unforgiving opponent.
As soon as the executive who was directing them fell, the information guild members began to roar.
Cortés did not miss the atmosphere.
Quickly break through people.
The military force that had lost the right to command was just a mess.
uh? In the meantime, a few more people are cut down, and those who are frightened retreat back and forth.
As the blockage of the road was cleared, Cortés sprinted forward.
The information guild and the guild members of the Karjo faction had no choice but to stare blankly at Cortes.
‘Did you come here just to catch these guys? I think a short-term decisive battle is the goal.’
Actually, that was the only way.
A coalition of information guilds that are weak compared to the smuggling guilds and Karjoo, who are gradually losing their power.
A power that lacks neither capital, manpower, nor cause can win through swift action.
Before the smuggling guild intervenes, if you quickly subdue Baldro and resolve the unrest.
No matter how much a smuggling guild is, as long as the cause is gone, it will not be free from being a dog chasing chickens.
‘The timing is good.’
I don’t know why yesterday and today, but the whole island was quite cluttered.
It was clear that something had happened on the leadership side, so now is the best time to turn the game around.
“If that was the case, I should have placed the best of the best on this side of the road!!”
Cortés scoffed at the lax tactics and sprinted.
He must have tried to break through the contact with the smuggler guild by any means, but what are you going to do with this kind of force?
Baldro and the elite members must have fortified the guild and started a sit-down, so now, if only he brings the smuggler guild… … .
The game was over.
By the time the end of the passage was visible.
A group of seals entered Cortes’s eyes.
One, two, three… … five.
five?
At first, I thought it might be an outbreak of the Smuggler’s Guild, but I changed my mind the moment I saw them holding weapons one by one.
they are gatekeepers
She hurriedly threw the memorization. The awls scattered in a fan shape cut through the air.
But.
“Ceylon!”
The light blue spirit body shook and a great wind blew. It was almost like a storm.

Memorization fell to the floor without even reaching the goal.‘what? Wizard? Is it a spirit samurai?’
Due to the nature of the underground, the air that had been quietly submerged was mixed in an instant.
At least, they weren’t the idiots I met a while ago.
‘This is real.’
It was Cortes who faced many powerful people. Sensing the quietly drifting war rhyme, she took a stance.
strong.
And the linkage is pretty strong.
The moment she spread the memorization, the large Inyeong turned the sword over before the wizard who had ignited the wind.
Even if there was probably no wind, there was a high probability that the memorization attack was blocked.
“The information guild’s hidden card? Or did you even bring in an outside mercenary group?”
Cortés swung the dagger and asked, but there was no answer.
Ah, that’s how it turns out.
She slipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out a few smoke grenades.
The underground passage is narrow. Even if you don’t bring a few dozen people, just two or three people are enough to block it.
However, that is a story when the field of vision is free.
If the smoke grenade explodes, the passage becomes a closed room that cannot be seen even an inch ahead.
And in such an environment, it is at a disadvantage to the one who is rather dense.
If you swing your weapon blindly to secure your line of sight, you are likely to attack your allies.
However, if they stop attacking, Cortes will have a chance to dig.
search squadron.
Her battlefield was always like this. One-on-one fighting in confined spaces was Cortes’ specialty.
“Well, it’s okay to keep at least one person alive and use it as a witness… … .”
As she performed her relaxed acting, she immediately detonated a smoke bomb.
Papang! phut!!
The smoke that came out all at once filled the aisle in an instant. From now on, it was Cortes’ time.
‘Don’t give me the slaughter at once.’
Cortés sprinted forward with a slaughtered smile.
A large vanguard is postponed until later, digs into the center, collapses the front row, and then exits.
It was Cortes’ plan. And in fact, she moved almost in close proximity.
If it wasn’t for an arrow that flew out of nowhere.
“… … !!!!”
Nettle juice-!! Kagang!!
Cortés reflexively swung the dagger and struck the arrow.
That wasn’t the end. Another additional arrow flew past her ear.
Stunningly detailed time difference attack.
If I had chosen to dodge instead of deflecting instinctively, I would have been hit by a follow-up hit.
‘What… … what?’
Being so embarrassed, Cortés’ steps were disturbed for a moment. Then, the vaguely large figure suddenly disappeared.
“Caught.”
bang!!!!!!!
The sound of the voice coming from right in front of me made my whole body tense. He quickly crossed the dagger to block it, but an enormous shock wave flooded in.
“Hey!!”
Cortes couldn’t stand the shock and flew back and rolled to the floor.
what? What the hell happened?
Without time to think, the arrow flew once more.
She bounced back, spinning round and round, widening the distance.
Pak, Pak!
Arrows hit the floor one after another. If Cortes were a little late, it would have been skewered.
The smoke was still thick. But how do you know where you are?
Then, the wind that had blown away the memorization a while ago rose again.
Air and air are mixed together, and the smoke that has risen is removed at once.
Only then did Cortés understand why the smoke screen had been of no use.
“You are Tarkan… … !!”
I could see the mane rising up. Normal human hair is not.
That’s a half-human, half-beast mixed with the blood of beasts.
It was a characteristic of Tarkan.
After that, the appearance of the rest of the personnel was completely revealed.
Two people aiming their bows in the back row.
They are possessors of ghost-like shooting skills that can accurately track themselves even in smoke.
And there is one magician who calls out the wind by Tarkan’s side.
There was a woman standing still in the center.
“you… … what.”
There were never any people in the back alley. This kind of fighting style could not be found in the back alleys.
Absolutely perfect connection.
The individual skills were also excellent, but they were intertwined and created a great synergy.
Even pretending to be, quite a long time.
And they’re the ones I’ve worked with quite often.
“The information guild was hiding these talented people? Or outside mercenaries?”
At Cortes’ question, their eyes focused on the woman in the center.
There was nothing more to see. The author is the captain who leads this unit.
“We are the Illuminati.”
“Illuminati, this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“I will. And you won’t hear anything from me.”
His voice was younger than expected.
It even felt as if the tone was on purpose.
‘Where the hell did they come from… … !?’
Cortés was confused.
I had never heard of a group called the Illuminati.
An adventurer party or mercenary group with this level of skill would be worth listening to, but it was completely unknown.
‘You’re new. It must have cost a lot of money.’
But there was no way back.
Karjo, the reason that bitch put this amount of power into this place instead of the main unit is to unconditionally cut off contact with the smuggler guild.
you know it well
Once the smuggling guild begins to actively intervene, it can never be stopped.
so that.
Cortés had to pass through here.
‘It is impossible to suppress. The best thing to do is to kill, but if that’s too difficult, you just have to steer away.’
She quickly found her opponent’s weaknesses. First of all, he is a wizard.
In general, it is common to put wizards in the back row, but they are placed in the front.
It wasn’t bad considering the magic hit and avant-garde, but it was a great chance for Cortes.
Slash the wizard, and then immediately deal with the core.
In any case, when the conductor dies, there is bound to be chaos. You just need to get out of there quickly while they hesitate.
‘There will be two casualties, so at least I don’t think I’m going to pursue them.’
Especially if they have manpower brought in from outside.
The moment I thought about it.
Cortes moved quickly.
Vanguard Tarkan leaped forward and swung his great sword. She swiped and swept the floor to avoid it, and ran straight to the wizard.
‘I’m sorry, but I have to die.’
It was the moment when I was about to wield a dagger.
“… … !?”
The rapier brushed past his side. If I hadn’t turned around right away, I would have been pierced through.
Along with a dizzying sensation, the slight cut hurt bitterly.
“Was it a magic swordsman-!!”
Cortés realized why the wizard had taken the vanguard.
Kang, Kak!
Desperately swung the dagger. As if dancing a waltz, the rapier pierced and entered.
It was a bitter move.
If you weren’t as talented as Cortes, the blade would have pierced your heart already.
The rapier swooped in, and Tarkan roared from behind.
desperate situation.
Cortes had already given up the suppression of the magic swordsman.
Instead, he turned his gaze to the conductor who was still looking at him.
If suppression and killing were impossible, the only thing left was to escape.
Cortés held one dagger in reverse and rotated his body widely.
Every now and then!! At the same time, the rapier and the bayonet, which were stabbing at the same time, crossed each other.
that fleeting moment.
Cortes’ pockets opened, and the memorabilia were fired all at once.
‘Rotating lotus’.
It was a golden move that Cortes was trying to save until the very end.
“ね… … !?”
Perhaps it was an unexpected attack, some memorization ripped through Tarkan’s body.
The magic swordsman seemed to have managed to dodge it with wind magic.
His posture was already messed up.
The road to the center was now open. The woman who was leading the ranks hesitated and stepped back.
‘It’s over.’
Cortés sensed victory. She leaped into the air like a beast.
Two sharply forged fangs flashed.
Pa-w-!!!
Cortés’ vision flipped.
what?
In an incomprehensible situation, she fell to the ground and turned her head.
The woman was clenching her fist.
Did you hit that? how… … .
Cortes’ eyes blinked.
Then, the invisible came into view clearly.
giant snake.
Is it not that the white lion, whose neck is numb just by looking at it, is staring at Cortes with his mouth wide open?
‘ah.’
Cortes closed her eyes.
‘I couldn’t win from the start. I’ll just fall back and give the main unit some strength.’
Finally, the meaningless regret and the scent of flowers that brush the tip of your nose.
Butcher Cortes is slain to the ground.
