One.
As a wizard, Veil was extremely vulnerable to pain.
The guy told Charon everything he knew.
From the hideouts located throughout the capital to the story of a being called ‘Danju’.
One thing that is regrettable is that I was not able to dig up information about the upper class.
Charon didn’t think the Veil was intentional.
He is not the type of person who will keep his loyalty to the organization.
There was no way he could have kept his mouth shut even when he was on the verge of death.
“You can find out the details yourself.”
This is a slum located in the northern district of the capital.
Charon hid in the shadows of the buildings and watched a shabby stone building.
According to the information Veil gave us, that is the key hideout.
There were hideouts for the guys all over the capital, but ultimately, that’s where they gave orders.
“I have prepared to raid the remaining hideouts as you instructed, Lord Caron.”
Hans, a knight of the Knights of the Sea, reported to Charon in a quiet voice.
At those words, Caron nodded slowly.
“Speed is everything, Hans. When I get in there, we have to sweep away the hideouts all at once.”
“You look excited about something.”
“Does it look like that?”
“yes.”
“As expected, Hans has a keen sense. Even though he’s been sucking honey in the capital, his senses haven’t died down.”
It was just as Hans said.
Anger welled up inside me, but at the same time, joy welled up in my heart.
This is a great opportunity to trace the traces of evil.
I couldn’t miss this opportunity.
“It is a shame that our Imperial Guard has been excluded from this mission.”
Luke, standing next to Hans, spoke with a blunt expression.
“Please, Lord Luke, understand. As you know, the professors of the Academy are also involved in this, so we cannot be sure that there are no insiders.”
“… … I understand.”
Once we catch that guy named Danju, we’ll know just how far the reach of the lottery gang extends.
Security and speed were essential for this operation.
The mutant worm they have.
If they don’t do a proper job of clearing them out, they’ll definitely unleash mutated worms all over the capital.
According to information obtained from Veil, the Aguichung have already been improved to the point where they can be called biological weapons.
Therefore, it could be said that the key to this ‘tag’ operation was to finish it off in the blink of an eye.
“What can we do here?”
To Luke’s question, Caron answered with a sly smile.
“Please take care of the guys coming out of that building, I might miss a few.”
“It might be dangerous to go in alone.”
“I tend to eat delicious food alone.”
Hans, who was listening to those words, couldn’t help but stick out his tongue.
“Caron is still the same.”
I’ve known this since the train attack incident four years ago, but the youngest son of the Duke’s family was fearless.
People with this personality usually die quickly.
But Hans already knew that his confidence came from his skills.
The youngest 7-star.
And even the weapons of Cheonghae Castle, including the guillotine.
That wasn’t unfounded confidence.
Saruruk-!
Myaaaah-!
“good.”
Charon smiled as he held Pluto in his arms as he returned from his reconnaissance.
The structure inside the building was identified.
3rd floor above ground.
Basement 2nd floor.
A building with a total of five floors.
There was nothing on the ground that could be considered particularly dangerous.
Instead, there are a total of 20 security guards stationed on the first basement floor.
I couldn’t even properly check the second basement level.
This was because a barrier had been set up to block even Pluto’s approach.
“As soon as this matter is over, the Imperial Guard will likely need to conduct a full investigation of the Magic Tower.”
Although it is on the outskirts of the capital, it is still the capital.
There is a secret organization like this in the capital, and they have even created a barrier magic.
It makes no sense that this could have been missed from the tower that regularly inspects the water supply.
Luke nodded heavily at Caron’s comment.
“Is that it?”
“They’re not the kind of guys that just came in overnight. Okay, I’ll just do a quick cleaning and come back.”
Charon breathed Pluto’s darkness into the ground.
Then a wolf-shaped mark was carved into the floor.
“We have secured an exit route.”
In case of emergency, you can use this sign to quickly escape.
An ability similar to the wizard’s short-range teleportation.
If Pluto’s darkness seeped into a nearby area, it would be possible to move instantly.
I just sent out a reconnaissance mission to Pluto, leaving marks all over the building.
In such a narrow space, there was ample room to maximize Pluto’s abilities.
“I’ll be back soon.”
Woohoo-!
Charon soon disappeared into the shadows of the floor, leaving only Hans and Luke there.
Luke muttered, swallowing his indignation at seeing Charon’s abilities for the first time.
“… …Have you ever seen that ability, Sir Hans?”
Then Hans also shook his head with a slightly absent-minded expression.
“How could that be, Lord Luke? This is the first time I’ve seen this ability. Our captain has never mentioned it to me before.”
“Magic? Artifact? I can’t even figure it out.”
Luke let out a deep sigh.
“Every time I see you, I feel that you are a completely unpredictable person.”
“Do you mean well?”
“Halfway.”
“He’s the one who cut off the neck of a six-star knight at thirteen. Well… … He’s the kind of person who wouldn’t be surprised if he suddenly brought a dragon.”
Hans looked at where Charon had disappeared and smiled bitterly.
He was an extraordinary gentleman from a young age.
At the age of thirteen, he was able to cut off the head of a six-star knight.
It seems like only yesterday that the train attack happened four years ago, but now Caron is far beyond what he could have imagined.
“Sir Hans, aren’t you worried about Lady Caron?”
Hans shrugged at Luke’s question. Then he shook his head as he took the communication device out of his pocket.
“It’s not me who should be worried.”
“then?”
“These are the guys who have to deal with Charon.”
At those words, Luke couldn’t help but nod his head without realizing it.
“… … Indeed, that’s so.”
“Have you ever heard of Karon’s nagging? It’s just so brutal. You’ll understand what it means to have all the blood in your body dried up. So for now, I’ll just do as you say.”
Woohoo.
Hans, who had breathed magic into the communication port, gave orders to his subordinates located throughout the capital.
“We will begin the operation as of now. The person in charge is Lord Caron. I believe you all know what will happen if you make a mistake. So, we will subdue the rebels without any errors.”
Hans gave the order neatly, then nodded while looking at the building Charon had infiltrated.
“Sir Luke.”
“Speak.”
“If you miss even one of those guys coming out of there… …. Lord Luke will have to be prepared too. So please take good care of us.”
What kind of scary nagging must it be for a brave knight to react like this?
Luke recalled Caron’s angry expression for a moment. Then he could only nod silently.
“Please take good care of me too.”
“Let’s do our best, everyone.”
Charon’s notoriety was enough to unite even the long-time enemies, the Imperial Guard and the Knights of the Harrang.
It’s been just 30 minutes since a terrorist attack was discovered at the Academy.
Hans had no doubt that the terrorists would be destroyed.
2.
Charon, who infiltrated the building via Pluto, was able to encounter enemies without difficulty.
Men wearing well-maintained leather armor.
The magic felt from them subtly tells us that they are not mere mercenaries.
‘article.’
They are not very skilled.
But all three of those you see are 5-star knights.
Those with skills starting from 5 stars are treated like knights wherever they go.
It was excessive for someone who had joined a terrorist group.
“This damn basement will be over soon.”
“I never thought I would waste my precious vacation like this.”
“What can we do? We’ll just do what we’re told. Think of it as a sacrifice for the greater good.”
They did not realize that Charon was hiding in the darkness.
It was impossible for their senses to even detect Pluto’s power.
‘What should I do?’
Caron looked at the knights and took a moment to sort out the situation.
That guy named Danju will definitely be waiting on the second basement floor.
However, to get down to the second basement level, you must pass through a huge iron gate. Furthermore, the gate is guarded by seven knights.
There was no way to get in without being caught.
-Why worry? Just do what the owner does best.
It was as Guillotine said.
A problem that doesn’t need to be worried about.
The answer was one from the beginning.
Slurp.
Charon, who had risen from the darkness, immediately ran towards the knights in front of him.
Under the dim light, the guillotine’s blade glowed eerily.
Crunch-!
The neck of the knight who had been talking on the far right fell to the floor, and Charon immediately turned his body and cut off the neck of the knight next to him.
Two in an instant.
There wasn’t even a scream.
“……uh?”
The knight, who had been talking passionately about his vacation plans, opened his mouth.
Because the faces of the colleagues he was talking to had disappeared.
Instead, the only things that fill that space are corpses with their heads cut off.
And just then, a man’s face came into his sight.
A handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes.
“What is this… … .”
Before the article could even say anything.
Crunch-!
The knight’s neck also fell limply to the floor.
In an instant, three knights were killed. It was a surprise attack so clean that not even a scream could be heard.
After that, Caron quickly cleared the basement level.
Using Pluto’s short-distance teleportation abilities, I was able to clear most of the articles in less than ten minutes.
But the guys also seemed to have noticed that something was going strange.
‘Tsk.’
By the time Caron had dealt with the patrolling troops and moved towards the iron gate, the security of the iron gate had already been strengthened.
“I can’t contact the guys who went on patrol.”
“Where is your lord now?”
“You are currently conducting a ritual. What will happen if you interrupt the Master’s ritual…?”
All the soldiers in front of the iron gate stood guard along the passage with their swords drawn.
Since contact with the patrol force was lost, it was natural to be on guard.
-I can’t assassinate this? I can’t eat it raw, Master.
The advantage of surprise has already been lost.
Two six-star knights and six five-star knights.
There were so many of them, and above all, the lights on the iron gate side were too bright.
It was said that it was difficult to utilize Pluto properly.
But Caron didn’t really care.
It would have been nice if I hadn’t been caught in the end, but I had no choice but to get caught if I tried to open that iron door.
Obviously, there must be some complex security devices installed on the iron gate. That’s why from the beginning, I planned to just cut that iron gate down with a sword.
“I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Caron walked forward step by step.
Then, the knights who had been on alert soon discovered Charon.
“Intruder, Captain!”
The man called Jojang clenched his fists as he looked at Caron. Then, without hesitation, he gave orders to his subordinates.
“… … Everyone, let your magic cores go berserk.”
“Oh, good judgment.”
He was a guy with a pretty good head on his shoulders.
Caron walked forward, letting out a slight exclamation.
“What are all these grown adults doing here in such a gloomy place? People are supposed to live in the sunlight.”
“… …Caron Reston. Why are you here?”
“I guess I’ve become a celebrity. Some people recognize my face.”
Caron had no intention of hiding his identity from the beginning.
“When I ask you the purpose of your visit, you should answer kindly. Of course, I came to kill you. But I’m a little bored with just killing you, so I’m pretending to be an assassin. So I’m going to assassinate you too.”
Sophistry flowed from Charon’s mouth.
The leader immediately unleashed his magical power by activating his core.
“Assassination? That’s ridiculous. Where on earth is the assassin who revealed his identity?”
Caron answered the leader’s question, which seemed absurd, with a smirk.
“If there are no witnesses, it’s assassination.”
“……what?”
“If I kill all of you, that’s assassination. Do you understand?”
Charon charged towards the knights without hesitation.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
