04. Uncomfortable Cohabitation (22)
“What are these guys?”
Around Kertatus, men in black were scattered on the floor like corpses.
I thought I had found my way and arrived at the mansion smoothly, but it was only a matter of time before I knocked them all down because some weird guys were guarding the front gate.
“Write. These guys….”
At first, I thought he was a bodyguard guarding the mansion, but after beating him, something was different.
Strike A blow aimed at his life without hesitation. It was a body movement without hesitation in learning professional killing techniques and taking the lives of others.
Even though I couldn’t resist properly and I was all stretched out.
Anyway, it felt strange to be a bodyguard. Certatus leaped swiftly and landed on the wall of the mansion’s main gate.
“Oh, my God. There were passengers.”
Only then did I see them hiding among the grass in the garden and crawling stealthily like worms. Even at a glance, the movements of the guards at the mansion were different, reminiscent of the assassins who often sought his life in the Pandemonium.
“Hmm. What is it?”
He was a bit of a nuisance, but he didn’t change what he had to do anyway.
Smash everything that gets in your way and take whatever you want from the warehouse!
Sneaking like a petty thief is not in keeping with the demonic nature of a great struggle. Kertatus bursts into a cheerful laugh and crosses the garden in a straight line at once.
“hahahahaha! This is the appearance of Kertatus! All the good guys, come on!”
Beep beep beep!! A top-of-the-line security device installed in the garden immediately detects Kertatus. He had no intention of hiding, so it was a natural result.
Wheein- Clap. A machine gun emerges from the garden floor and fires bullets at Kertatus.
To Do Do Do Do!! Kertatus facing the pouring bullets.
“Hey!”
I can’t move faster than a bullet with this body yet. However, it is possible to move faster than the muzzle movement.
Certatus moves out of range faster than the muzzle is pointed at him, and dodges the bullets pouring down on the edge.
“Wow!”
Kwajik! Grab his machine gun with your hand and smash it with only your grip. The machine gun, which had been cut in half, no longer responded.
Even gunpowder, which is ineffective against tower monsters, is still a threat against humans. That would have been the case had it not been for the demon of struggle in a human skin.
“It’s boring.”
Is it over already? Certatus strides through the garden with a look of dejection. Machine guns, missiles, and booby traps greeted him everywhere.
“This is useless!”
Beep beep beep!! Do-do-do-do! Floodlight! Guide the incoming anti-personnel missiles to fall towards the machine gun battery, and break through the front faster than the booby traps detonate.
There were characters who were extremely embarrassed to see them making all sorts of noise and running amok to their heart’s content, as if they were bragging that they had come.
He was a hit man who hid himself in the grass to attack the mansion.
‘What is that bastard!?’
‘I didn’t plan for something like this!’
Thanks to the collaborators inside, originally there was no need to operate the security devices in the garden. It was an easy mission where you only had to quietly process the target and leave, but the unknown man ran rampant like a mad dog, so all infiltrating quietly was skipped.
‘Damn it… This way, the target will receive news about the intruder!’
‘Team Leader! How do I do this?’
But there was no time to worry. It was because the servants of the mansion, who sensed an intruder, came out in droves, each with a weapon made by Klaproth.
“Here! It’s an intruder!”
“Conquer! You can kill me if need be!”
“Ha ha ha ha! Do you feel like fighting now? Attack all at once!”
Sureureung! The servants drew their weapons and charged Kertatus. They are not official hunters, but they are servants who have undergone professional Awakened combat training in their home country to protect their masters in case of emergency.
Since so many came out at once, a few of them with particularly good senses noticed the hitman hiding in the grass and shouted.
“There are more intruders! Hiding in the grass!”
“Are you his colleague? Subdue them too!”
“… Kut! Holy shit!”
Hitmen quickly exchanged commands through each other’s holo device.
‘A surprise attack is unreasonable now. Respond to the attack!’
‘Yes! All right!’
Hitman also takes out his weapon and runs out of the grass. Unusual weapons such as steel wire and blackened daggers. However, Hitman’s ability to handle that weapon was very eerie and bizarre.
Chack! Weapons and skills specialized in killing people slaughter the users one by one.
“Ouch!”
“Ugh! These children… Where the hell is this talented person!?”
The team leader in command of the hitman swung the wire like a whip and dropped the servants’ necks one after another. He judged the situation coolly and calmly, even though he had a hunch that his plan was completely ruined.
‘Anyway, these guys’ skills are nothing to look at. The problem is, if the target runs away, it’s all over!’
Their mission is to kidnap the target. If this is not possible, even if the assassination is successful, the client can receive a reward, but the client promised ten times the reward if the target is caught alive.
But if neither the kidnapping nor the assassination were successful, all of this would end in vain.
‘Group A will continue to pass the time, and Group B will rush into the mansion with me! That idiot is running amok and distracting me, so there’s still a chance-‘
‘T, Team Leader! It’s not there!’
“What… ?”
To those words, the team leader unknowingly replied with a voice. When they hurriedly looked around, they noticed that they were the only ones left in the garden.
“He went inside!”
“Follow me! Don’t miss it!”
Certatus saw the so-called ‘angle’ through his instinctive sixth sense, and he was about to take advantage of the momentary gap when the hitman and servants engaged each other, knocked out all the enemies around them, and jumped into the mansion at the shortest distance.
“No way… Bait us?”
Belatedly, the team leader also tried to enter the mansion, but was already surrounded by too many enemies in the garden. Breaking through this encirclement in a short time and rushing into the mansion was impossible, even with a tens of thousands of hitmen.
“This, what a fucking bastard… !”
Certatus smiled with satisfaction as he succeeded in entering the mansion as planned, regardless of whether or not the team leader who had just taken a shot cursed at him from behind.
“The kiddo will be waking up soon, so we can’t waste time.”
It would be fun to surrender to the struggle as it is, but that was not the purpose of Kertatus. He recalled the location of the warehouse he had seen through Kim Yi-jin’s eyes a few hours ago.
“Let’s see. Did you go down to the basement from the living room? Then this… Well?”
There was a chuckle that caught his sensitive senses. All combatable personnel were gathered in the garden, and non-combatants were gathered in a relatively safe underground training ground, but one man headed to the second floor alone.
‘Isn’t this that bastard?’
When Yoon Seo-hee looked suspiciously at her attendant meeting with her vice-president, Kim I-jin followed her and looked at the attendant. Through those eyes and ears, Kertatus also saw the attendant.
Certatus, an experienced demon, could tell by just rolling his eyes that he was the perfect traitor. And under the traitor’s eyes, he thought he had hidden it, but that shady feeling he showed to Kertatus.
It was a sloppy, disgusting lust towards my master.
“Hmm.”
Certatus hardened his face and crossed his arms. Was that my part-time job that he was doing some tricks by himself? No. It wasn’t long before the kid woke up, so there was no time to waste.
I hear footsteps chasing him from behind. If you catch up, it’s annoying, so you just grab what you need and leave.
Certatus went down into the cellar, scratching the back of his head nervously. Of course, he was locked and he needed the card key that Yuna had, but the way Kertatus opened the door was simple.
Rabbing rattling! Kwajik! Roughly throwing away the doorknob that fell off, I entered the warehouse. There are a few more locks, but break them the same way and go straight.
At that ignorant entry, the security bell rang mercilessly, but with emergency bells already ringing throughout the mansion, this level of noise was barely noticeable.
“I’m here.”
Death Side of the Grim Reaper.
When Kim Yi-jin saw this object, he exclaimed with delight. To others, it might look like an ordinary, semi-S class item, but to Kertatus, the Grim Reaper’s demonic energy hidden inside this item was clearly visible.
Sometimes, there are items that have latent magic instead of magic. Things that are called demonic swords or demonic spears in the world.
Of course, Klaproth’s technology now suppressed the demonic energy from leaking out, but it was too easy for Kertatus to break the seal of the Death Side and activate the demonic energy.
“If only this demon is absorbed… !”
Certatus grasped the handle of the Grim Reaper with a gleeful expression on his face. The black magic was sneakily sucked into his arm, and finally the soul stone fragments in his heart were infiltrated one by one.
‘No, this… It’ll take a little longer than I thought.’
The speed at which demonic energy was absorbed by a human body was not very good. Originally, if it was a physical body, it would have sucked it up in an instant, dismissing this level of demonic energy as something like that, but with the body of a child, the spirit efficiency did not come out.
‘Is it because of that half-half girl’s magic? If you become a body that is useless and difficult to fall….’
It has become a constitution that does not accept demonic energy well. To be a devil worshiper, it could be said that he was a body that had crossed the water. Well, that kid wouldn’t want to be a devil worshiper.
‘I can’t. I don’t have time to suck it all in here… Take it and leave.’
But strangely, a corner of my chest got stuck somewhere.
It was to the point of mistaking that I had a conscience that hadn’t pricked the inside of my heart.
“What the fuck is that?”
Puck! He hit his stuffy chest hard. Even so, this feeling of something in my chest did not go away at all. In his head, he kept scratching his nerves, recalling the scene of a person going up to the second floor a moment ago.
‘Could it be that the instincts of a child are influencing me?’
Save it? See me?
Why me?
I don’t know if it’s a conscience or something, but I won’t listen to the words of an unconscious bastard sleeping. Certatus sneered and grabbed the Death Scythe and left the warehouse door.
“… ….”
With that plan decided, the heaviness in her heart grew stronger.
“No, really… under….”
Certatus stared blankly at the ceiling and sighed deeply.
“Okay, you bastard. Got it.”
After grumbling for a while, Kertatus put the Death Scythe on his shoulder and dragged his feet as he showed signs of not wanting to go.
The destination was the second floor.
