cleaning

“… … “What kind of crazy bullshit did I just hear?”

I was dumbfounded.

It felt like I had been hit with a hammer.

I was just thinking carefully about why Elise said such a bizarre thing.

It’s easy to misunderstand.

Lend me 10 minutes? Waiting in the waiting room.

Rather, wouldn’t it be dangerous to send Elise now?

I quickly clung to the window.

There was a magic tower limousine already waiting outside the Palette Theater. A knight and a wizard were also seen nearby.

“escort… … . “It’s so good.”

I was a little dumbfounded.

Well, how much does the Magic Tower experience cost? Of course, Elise won’t be going alone, so it’s normal for the magic tower to provide an escort as well.

So, wasn’t Elise the target of Berhalsi’s kidnapping from the beginning?

However, Noah was clearly said to be ‘a big man close to me.’ He also added that he was involved in theater.

No matter how much I think about it, there is no one but Elise-

“… … for a moment.”

A thought suddenly passes through my head.

Not Elise, but the big guy who left before the play was over.

There is one person.

There is… … .

I came out of the waiting room.

“Isn’t it too late?”

“Ugh!”

Noah was standing in the aisle. I almost got my fist stuck in my face.

“surprise… … What are you? “It keeps appearing somewhere.”

“It was fun, the play. I almost got a little emotional. “I love revenge too, right?”

Noah said that and handed over a bouquet of flowers. There was a note attached to the abundant roses that read [Duke’s fan].

“Are you crazy… … No, rather you. What is the purpose of using voodoo? “You almost got into big trouble.”

I asked about that first. Noah raised his eyebrows.

“… … “I want you to have fun.”

Is he really crazy?

anyway. Thanks to Noah coming here, I knew for sure who the big name Berhalsi was targeting was.

I was mistaken for Elise for no reason, and something strange and annoying happened.

“Let’s not look anymore.”

I said as I passed Noah.

“Where are you going?”

“I should go to the big guy you mentioned.”

Of course, strictly speaking, there is no need to go. Because it will be resolved on its own even if I don’t go.

Still, the opportunity to score points is rare.

Noah asked back in a puzzled tone.

“I think it’s already a little late. “What do you plan to do?”

“Why? “I need to do some cleaning.”

“… … “Are you alone?”

I didn’t answer. I left the Palette Theater right away. Coincidentally, there was a delivery rider nearby.

“hey. “Please lend me a bike.”

“… … yes?”

I got on the bike. I immediately stepped on the accelerator.

“No, over there!”

The speed may seem a little slow, but it won’t really matter whether you go late or early.

“Hey, get down! Hey, hey you bitch!!!!!”

The big name Berhalsi is aiming for is probably a bitch, no.

Because it would be ‘Jade’.

* * *

Jade’s Cetablex is moving along an empty national road. The destination is Libra’s Hanging Gardens. Perhaps because the Magic High School festival is still in full swing, the area is quiet and calm.

On that leisurely road, Jade leans back and listens to classical music. The melody from the top-of-the-line speakers is truly old-fashioned.

“Lord Jade. “It just keeps going in circles.”

At some point the driver spoke. Jade opened her eyes slightly. He looked at the scenery outside the window.

It was so quiet.

It was also very quiet.

Even if it’s a festival, it’s normal to see at least one person or car.

“Right.”

In fact, Jade had already noticed. A long time ago, a foreign magical energy particle was caught in his senses.

“… … “It could be an illusion barrier-”

Just as the driver was making his own guess.

───.

An object fell from thin air. It was a huge weight.

thud–!

It crushed the sedan’s hood, causing the car’s body to soar and then come down again. Soon, countless new models appeared on the roadside, as if surrounding a sedan.

“Oh my, what kind of robbers!”

The driver got out of the car with a cheerful expression on his face. Activating his demonic body, he started by pointing a finger at the guys’ faces.

“You damn bastards! What safety!”

─… … Huh. Is the person sitting there even the chairman? Or the king?

A growling bass sound as if speaking from a cave.

His face was that of a male lion. His height was close to 3 meters, and the asphalt was deeply dented every time he took a step.

─What kind of safety is safety? If you’re going to ride safely, do it safely.

His name is Berhalsi Lanominel.

A class A monster from the underworld.

“Get out of here! “If you step back now, I won’t hold you accountable.”

Even in front of its hideous appearance, the driver was not intimidated. Instead, he pulled out the sword from his belt and glared at the lion’s head.

“Are you planning on turning Libra into an enemy?”

─Well, I have no intention of turning you into an enemy. Rather, you’re not Libra. Enough with your pet dog.

Berhalsi snapped his fingers. The semi-lunar wave that occurred distorted the driver’s body.

─Star minnows are flying out.

Smirking, Berhalsi walked languidly and stood in front of the bonnet. He waved his hand at Jade, who was visible through the broken window.

─I’ll be fine. Get off. Before smashing the car to pieces.

“… … .”

Jade opened the door without a word. He slowly stood on the road.

Still, with no loss of dignity.

─… … I’ll be better. Let us not leave each other tired.

Berhalsi raised his eyebrows slyly. Jade muttered as she looked at the already dead driver.

“I guess I should change it.”

─That’s right. I think today is a lesson, and next time, why not take someone stronger with you?

“There is no need for a strong person.”

Jade put her hand in her inner pocket. Berhalsi and the group of monsters were a little nervous, but he just took out some gloves.

Gloves with gold lines engraved on a black background. A luxury item that doesn’t seem that special.

“I just need someone who can support me well.”

Jade, wearing gloves, repeatedly clenched and unclenched her fists. As if trying to sense her touch. The sound of stiff leather was faint.

─That’s it. Just give me 30 million ren. I don’t want any more than that. These days, there is a very useful app called Dark Web. As long as you deposit the money, I will leave immediately.

Berhalsi held out his palm to him. Jade lifted her gaze and looked at him. Libra’s blue eyes did not contain any emotion.

No anger, no fear, no horror, no anything, just peaceful meaninglessness.

“There is a lot to wish for. “On the topic of embargo.”

An extremely arrogant and arrogant tone immediately came out of his mouth, as if scolding a servant.

Berhalsi’s face distorted.

─… … really. This is why nobles are a problem. Their pride prevents them from objectifying their situation.

The lion stretched his neck and arms. He activated his demonic body with his huge body.

─I have no choice. I’m going to kidnap you.

Berhalsi kicked the pavement. Air waves surged from his footsteps. The asphalt was completely crushed.

It is a spectrum called “sudden acceleration.” The moment the magic body is activated, the body accelerates to a speed equivalent to the speed of sound, and conversely, the perceived time slows down infinitely.

─Hehehe… … .

Berhalsi charged with movements like those of an animal. With a deep smile on his face, to Nauri, the nobleman on the other side.

Jade, on the other hand, stood still. She just looks at herself, fiddling with her gloves… … .

weird.

Berhalsi suddenly had this thought.

The time I felt stretched out like a skein of thread. The thought system was also accelerated.

But now, Jade is so relaxed. Her eyes blinking as she looks at herself. Paddeuk-Paddeuk- The gesture of holding the gloves and unfolding them again.

All of it is ordinary.

As if he were alone at normal times.

Berhalsi was anxious about that, but it was already within range. He extended his lion fist towards Jade. Jade stood at the end and looked into his eyes.

In an instant, the killing intent exploded. The flesh that I have saved so far without spilling a single grain of it. An overwhelming amount of magical power swallowed up Berhalsi’s fighting spirit.

─… … uh.

For a moment, Berhalsi’s intuition cried out. Streams of thoughts flashed through my mind like flashes of light.

The nobleman standing before him was more powerful than any of the monsters he had encountered during his dozen years of treading the underworld.

More than any of the knights he had killed countless times.

Even better than those in charge of the Master Cartel.

strong.

No, not even on the same level as them.

They can’t even stand on similar lines to this man.

Far above.

─Ha… … .

Berhalsi laughed.

Why, no one knew about this monster until now.

Why did I find out?

“──Something like dirt.”

Jade stretched out her fist. The surface of his glove touched Berhalsey’s forehead.

Harder.

Maybe slightly.

In that moment, Berhalsi’s consciousness disintegrated.

The shock between my eyebrows spread throughout my entire body. Her skin was torn from the area near her head, and her internal organs and bones were crushed to powder.

Just one regime.

Berhalsi exploded, scattering blood.

* * *

I caught a very suspicious barrier in a suburban area. “Barrier Magic Art: Distortion” that cleverly bends the inside to prevent escape.

I looked at it with the SZX-9500, and there was Jade inside too.

“… … “It will be over soon.”

──That’s it. Just give me 30 million ren. I don’t want any more than that. These days, there is a very useful app called Dark Web. As long as you deposit the money, I will leave immediately.

Berhalsi is threatening Jade.

It won’t work. What they are doing is a suicide racket. Not self-harm, but suicide racketeering.

Jade is a special person.

As I said before, if you did gangsterism rather than business, you would have become a huge force, right?

We, no, the continent, should consider it fortunate that Jade is obsessed with unnecessary formalities, rituals, and displays of noble dignity.

because.

Because he’s strong.

That’s a lot too.

He is one of the best people in the Libra clan, and even in Edsilla’s half-thousand-year history, and is the greatest person in the world in the present era.

A monster that can take on a family unit on its own.

Simply put, he is truly the overwhelming strongest.

The reason why its strength beyond the standard has not yet been revealed is simple.

In addition to Libra’s unique tradition of not revealing herself to the public, Jade herself is obsessed with dignity.

He doesn’t necessarily create a situation where he has to punch, and if such a situation arises, he ‘definitely’ kills the other person.

Therefore, most people did not know that Jade was the strongest until Libra’s battle.

Because even I did that.

However, the person who had the most trouble with Zia, who later ascended into orbit and swallowed Libra, and who almost killed her, was neither her eldest son Zedric nor her eldest daughter Jahanna.

It was the second son, Jade.

Jade, Shiloi Libra Geden.

Puzzle-!

Just then, Berhalsi’s body exploded. He was literally blown up by Jade’s fist.

Even if I put a magic particle bomb in my mouth, it wouldn’t explode like that – to the point where I thought.

───!

Soon, the barrier vibrated.

This is because of Jade’s speed, which broke the limit. A ‘sonic boom’ generated from a movement that exceeds Mach swirls around randomly and shakes the barrier.

Pajik! Pajik! Pajik!

A sight that no one like me can follow with our eyes.

Just the sound of something exploding, just for 3 seconds.

The barrier had already been broken, and instead of flesh, blood stains and what seemed like living things remained at the cell level on the asphalt.

“… … “That’s amazing.”

It was and is still enormous. That was when I quietly murmured in awe.

Jade in the distance looked back.

It’s probably 10km away.

There I looked at him, and he looked at me.

───Quaaaa!

Immediately a gale blew up. When I came to, my body was stuck to the ground. I blinked my eyes and looked up.

Jade was standing.

“… … .”

He looked down at me. There was not a single drop of blood on his clothes.

“Nothing happened.”

He took off his gloves and threw them at my chest. I knew right away what that meant.

“… … yes.”

Then he raised his eyebrows once and said, Quaaaa—!

A gust of wind arose once again.

“Ugh.”

This time my top was completely torn, and Jade disappeared.
