Cardboard Houses Do Not Tear - Cardboard Houses Do Not Tear chapter 98

98 – In the warehouse

“What?”

“Did you think I would give you an answer if you asked me? I won’t give you the answer you want. Wallets.”

Now the faces of the wallets are beginning to be forgotten.

The heads of the robbers in the distance were moving stealthily.

The space in the basement warehouse is limited.

Behind me was a hostage, and beside me was Miss Prianian, hiding between the shelves covered in cloth.

I had to conserve my resources as much as I could to deal with five people at the same time who had no idea what their level was.

So, I decided to save the most important thing for now and make better use of other places.

My fingers wiggled a little in the shield, which was supported even without holding the handle, and soon my red hair fluttered.

The moment I was relieved by that appearance. The hostage standing behind me asked me.

“Mercenaries.”

“Yes?”

His voice, suppressing the trembling as much as possible, pretended to be calm.

“Where can I put the contract?”

From noble mtl dot com

“You can keep it in your arms, and bring it with you when it comes out. The terms of the contract…”

“I don’t intend to fake it.”

“Excellent.”

I gave a warning to the girl who quickly recognized the hidden meaning behind my words.

“Sit quietly, breathe in. It will be over soon.”

The hostage quietly sat down on the bed, and the boss held up the Morning Star again with both hands.

Jerbug.

As I took a step forward, I moved my finger in the taji held at an angle a little more.

Miss Priyanian must have remembered that.

The editorial was long, now it was time to fight.

The movements of those whose faces were forgotten began to become standardized, and soon an inverted pentagon-shaped formation was formed.

No one was holding a shield.

Jerbug.

Three sacks of hospitality with sharply sharpened blades flew in.

The first encounter was with a dagger.

I was trying to block the dagger that I swung horizontally and short as if tearing my throat.

Kang!

While holding it in the opposite hand, I struck the side of the shield just in time for the dagger that was about to pierce my waist.

Looking at the aching hands, it was clear that it contained mana.

There was a reason why the mouth had survived even after begging.

“Hey, even though he’s a guy with no mana, he’s here with great energy-“

Hooung!

“Kuu!”

As I swung it like a left hook while holding the shield horizontally, the dagger moved away.

Instead, an arming sword came from the other side.

Kagagak!

As I twisted the trajectory of the sword that struck me with both hands from the right side, the nape of my neck itched.

I quickly fell back.

Wedge juice!

The trajectory of the dagger aimed at Mokuldae was short. Like a jab, the motion was effortless.

I ran with my shield at the forefront before a series of deep stabbing attacks followed.

At the sudden charge, the b*tch with the dagger loosened his stance and responded with a pair of pushy feet.

With a thud, the feet and the shield collided.

The response was not bad, but the difference in weight class was unavoidable.

“Wow!”

I pretended to run and fell backwards.

Because no robber would watch a sword stabbed into the stomach of a colleague who was bent backwards.

As if that judgment was correct, the morning star of the boss was stuck on the stone floor where I was standing a moment ago.

“Suck!”

Boom!

At the same time, blades flew from three directions. Morning Star was a fake.

“Die!”

A vertical bag behind the back of the boss who leaned his upper body forward.

A single blade that cuts diagonally from the left.

A single weapon that is swung horizontally from the right.

It was an elaborate pass, like magic.

That’s why I also needed a magic word.

“Prianian!”

-Tung!

“Kuu!”

The chanting to call the snipers was spontaneous.

A bolt was stuck in the side of the guy on the right.

The guy who lost his balance staggered forward. Like a drunken old man.

The blade he wielded with all his might to kill did not play a vital role, and soon a destructive sound was heard.

It was as if someone who hadn’t died in one shot was looking at me.

For some reason.

“Keep it off…”

So all I could do was forget him comfortably.

―Chack!

Seventh.

A robber with a boss and a dagger was running behind the two guys pulling out the blade from behind the corpse.

But it was faster to hit the left one’s wrist with the rim of the shield and cut the middle one’s neck.

“That’s…”

Grabbing him by the neck, as he stepped back, he pulled a scroll from his waistband and tore it up.

A voice full of blood and foam recited the starting language. It was a camaraderie that brought tears to my eyes.

Mystery rises from the fingertips stained red, and before it can be pointed at me, it is hit by a crossbow and faded.

She literally sniped the spell.

A guy with a bolt stuck in his head chilled and drank at the same time.

The guy holding his wrist next to him and the b*tch holding a dagger charged at the same time.

“Die!”

“What are you doing, bastard! Come in!”

Then, those who had only waited on the other side of the door began to hurriedly move.

The most unexpected situation came.

I quickly tore off the scroll held in my left hand with a knife.

“[Burn up.]”

The back of the shield became brighter due to the magic flame burning from the tip of the left hand.

As if they had heard the startup language, shouts erupted from among them.

“He uses magic!”

“A fighter? Diffusion?”

“I don’t know what the attribute is, but if you use mana in this basement, it goes out quickly!”

As they said, the flames at the tips of my fingers began to weaken.

If I hadn’t moved the sparks to the parchment quickly, it was clear that I would have wasted the expensive scroll.

I dropped the burning parchment beside it.

Woe!

The oil for the lantern flowing over the stone floor was enough to start a fire or stop the running bastards.

Soon, a sparkling race took place on top of the oil fuse line that had been laid on the floor in preparation for such a situation.

The wall of fire ran towards them, to be precise, towards the door beyond.

“f*ck! It is fire!”

“Evil! Hot!”

“Avoid!”

The robbers on the stairs screamed and ran away from the door. Finally, the scenery outside was not visible.

Now, after confirming that the basement where the 38th Parallel of Fire was built is completely isolated from the outside. I opened my mouth.

“You can’t pass.”

Those who heard my sentence stood for a moment as if they had been hit in the head with a hammer.

In the meantime, those who saw my efforts to drink as much oxygen as possible came up with a word.

“…Are you crazy?”

“Set a fire in the basement where the smoke has nowhere to escape? What kind of suicidal raccoon are you?”

In the meantime, the hostage was muttering something behind his back.

“It will end soon, did this mean…”

But I didn’t care and inhaled.

Because that hostage doesn’t breathe for me.

After putting the taji on the belly band for the last time, I got into my posture.

Except for Miss Priyanian, everyone was looking at me like a madman, but what can I do? It’s a rather novel plan, I think.

The boss asked me.

“Is that your intention?”

“You guys have to be buried here today, but it’s going to be difficult if you run away.”

After nodding to him, he added a word.

“You should use what you brought.”

Isn’t it a national rule to block the boss room after entering it?

“Now, first, knock me down if you don’t want to be burned to death with the corpses on the floor.”

I laughed and provoked them. Just in case, if the fire is put out like that, I’ll be the only one who gets f*cked.

“Or get stabbed in the back trying to put out the fire. Do what’s convenient for you. Either way you will die, and I will live.”

“You’ve seen all the crazy bastards. By the way-“

“You bastard!!”

The boss muttered something, but the guy holding the arming sword shouted and couldn’t hear it.

A tactical judgment that the opponent’s sudden arson and that it was impossible to cover the number of people.

In addition, the smoke and heat that eats at their back lowered their reason and brought them to madness.

That’s why the 2nd phase started by preparing their own way out.

“What are you doing, bastards! Turn off the lights!”

At the command of the b*tch with the dagger, there was a sound of hasty movement outside.

Hearing a voice calling for water, I shook my head as I imagined the future that would happen to them. ‘Cause I’ve splattered so much oil on that threshold.

It’s an oil fire, so water won’t put it out, but I didn’t care.

Even under that circumstance, the robber boss, who had been steadfast in saying something to me, quietly gave his last impression.

“…Let me ask you one thing, are you crazy?”

I didn’t even need to reply, so I decided to say something else.

From noble mtl dot com

For example, giving a warning to the two people behind you.

“Please lower your posture. If you inhale the smoke, you’ll be in big trouble.”

“aaah!!”

As maces flew from the front, a pincer attack began.

Hung!

I didn’t swing it, but the arming sword came in between the maces that came forward.

Whoosh!

A dagger appeared from the left as I avoided the blade cutting straight to the right.

The angles of the two daggers stabbing like fangs were similar.

Follow that trajectory and twist his wrist to deflect the attack. Next to me, I saw the boss holding the long-sacked Morning Star with one hand.

―Tooung!

A crossbow that was looking for an opportunity with its loading finished behind his back flew in and aimed at his boss.

But the boss snorted and stretched his left arm forward.

In his hands, pieces of parchment were falling from the sky.

“[Protect!]”

The bolt stays in the air by the shield. Next to him, a mace with a short handle passed by.

-Kang!

I heard the sound of my sword being blocked by Morning Star’s hilt.

But that didn’t stop him from hitting the man with the Arming Sword on the chin with the edge of the Taji.

With a pain-filled sound, the leg of the one who had been hit in the vital point loosened.

The thumping sound of something falling to the floor was soon masked by the piercing sound of the blade.

“Kuk.”

At the same time, the dagger slashed through Gambison’s side.

It seems that he avoided seeing blood on the edge, and there was no difficulty in moving.

Did they fight for such a long time?

About one-third of the world was covered in mud before I knew it, and I heard the sound of splashing oil and screams from far away.

―Whoosh!

The blade passed in front of my eyes, and Morning Star was stuck in front of me.

It was dangerous.

It is a situation that requires anomaly, but crossbow shooting is useless in a situation where the enemy is hidden.

I couldn’t stay still. If it didn’t exist, I had to make it as it didn’t exist.

The air was acrid. I had to move quickly.

Hooung!

After vigorously swinging his shield forward, he took advantage of the gap and quickly distanced himself.

And then, as before, I shouted as I reached out to the storage compartment of another place.

“[Divergent!]”

The placebo effect of having suffered once was clear.

“It’s magic again!”

“Watch out!”

While they were cowering, I took out my secret weapon from the storage compartment and held it in my left hand.

And then I pulled out the stopper.

They finally realized that they had been tricked, and raised their heads in anger.

“Oops, you bastard dog!!”

“I’ll kill you and eat you with the crossbow boy behind you!”

The two enraged robbers started running towards each other.

-Tung!

Then Miss Priyanian, who heard my voice and roughly identified the enemy, continued shooting with a crossbow.

The bolt that penetrated the forearm of the leather armor gave the boss a sense of silence.

“Big.”

With that, I could see that the boss no longer had any means of protection.

They finally came into range.

I shouted as I sprayed the thing I was holding in a foreign land.

“Because it’s magic, there’s no avoiding it!”

Soon, black water droplets were embroidered in the air.

“What is this!”

“Eup.”

A secret weapon flew into the faces of the robbers, and they lost their sight.

The magic that lost sight, using ink as a medium, was correctly activated.

“Such a bastard-“

Chack!

The two, who literally went black, didn’t need any special skills.

I just had to forget two more faces.
