How to Live as a Knight After the Ending - Chapter 91



Only Noblemtl

Episode 91. Raid (2)

“Oh my god! Jump!”

As the person who fired the mortar shouted, the attackers who had gathered around quickly scattered.

The sight was as quick as opening an old door and seeing the rats running away inside.

Ossian frowned.

‘What? You found out I’m alive, but you chose to run away instead?’

Considering how flustered he was, his movements were strangely quick.

What that means is that he was expecting things to turn out like this.

‘They attacked my vehicle and responded quickly. They were clearly targeting me.’

My stomach lurched. It wasn’t dangerous, but it gave me a similar feeling of discomfort as when I found a cockroach in my room.

He was sure that if he let them go like this, they would come back to bother him again.

“Then we have no choice but to wrap things up here.”

Ossian’s figure disappeared from the scene like a mirage.

Where he stood, a bluish crystal powder was blowing in the wind.

*

The raiders quickly retreated, exchanging signals with each other.

“Keep a good distance. He’s basically good at one-on-one combat. Avoid direct confrontation as much as possible and just hit and run away.”

[Okay… … Chijijik!]

“Hey. What’s going on?”

[No, that guy! That guy is already… … Kaaaak!]

The one-eyed man frowned at the screams heard beyond the signal.

‘You’ve already caught up?’

There was nothing particularly strange about it. No matter how fast they ran, they couldn’t run faster than Ossian, a mutant with enhanced physical abilities.

They had heard enough to know that he could run faster than a car.

but.

[Oh, oh my! What the hell is that!]

[The trap won’t work! Damn it! That’s a different story!]

[Oh, don’t come!]

Tsk tsk tsk.

One by one, the attackers’ signals were cut off.

What could be heard beyond the signal was the last gasp and final words of my comrade, and the sound of something freezing.

“What the hell is going on?”

We knew there would be some sacrifices.

But it didn’t matter. The fewer the number of people, the more I would receive when the job was done.

However, that doesn’t mean I chose to force them to death. At the very least, I made a thorough plan to save them if possible.

‘They even set up booby traps around here!’

Ossian’s movements were fast but almost linear.

It was, metaphorically, a fast-moving, anti-personnel armored vehicle.

That’s exactly what happened when he pushed ahead without looking around.

That’s why they tried to shake Ossian as much as possible while moving between the abandoned buildings that were under construction.

Their goal is to lure the victim into traps and slowly eat them away.

But it was a misjudgment.

Ossian was much more agile and faster than they had thought.

The evidence was that his colleagues were dying, and the traps didn’t even activate.

Arriving at the retreat point, the squint-eyed man looked around.

“How many people?”

“five.”

“What the hell.”

I was over twenty when I started and only had five left.

More than half of them died at the hands of Ossian while fleeing.

“What the hell is that kid doing! That’s a different story!”

“Why didn’t the trap work? What on earth did you do!”

“Everyone keep your mouths shut!”

When the one-eyed man shouted, those who had been panicking shut their mouths.

They know it too. Yelling and arguing among themselves here won’t change anything.

“Let’s first figure out the situation. That guy named Ossian seems to be much stronger than we thought.”

Everyone nodded with heavy faces.

“This mission is over. The information is wrong. Rather than dying, it’s better to just end it. Otherwise, is there anyone here who wants to continue?”

No one answered the cross-eyed man’s question.

No, there was one.

“I intend to continue.”

At the sudden sound of a third party’s voice, all five people gathered at the retreat point turned their gazes in that direction.

There, for some time, was Ossian, standing still in that spot.

Everyone stared at him with wide eyes in surprise.

How on earth did they get here? It was a hideout chosen for its complex geography and location among abandoned buildings that was not easily detected by the outside world.

“You seem to be making fun of me. It’s easy to see where you’re running off to.”

They thought they had Osian out of the way, but they were sorely mistaken.

Ossian already knew where they were gathering by the sound of their footsteps.

Finding the rat hole where the rats gather was so easy compared to my recent missions.

“Is the number five?”

Ossian raised his sword, bearing the marks of the moon.

The sword in his hand was engulfed in a bluish aura and took the shape of a curved sword, and frost settled around it due to the cold air.

“I think one mouth would be enough.”

The raiders gulped.

The moment I looked into Ossian’s black eyes, I felt as if my body was falling into the bottomless abyss of the deep sea.

His figure seemed to have grown infinitely larger and was looking down on them.

“Out of the five of you, which one can give me an answer that I like?”

“Cover at the same time!”

The one-eyed man screamed as if he was having a seizure.

The sight of him shouting with a bright red face and blood vessels in his neck clearly showed that he expended a great deal of mental strength just by opening his mouth.

That was actually the case.

Under the pressure of Ossian, I wondered how many times I should beg for my life.

It was a kind of instinct for survival. He suppressed that instinct now and made the most rational judgment.

Of course, rational judgment does not always lead to the best results.

The blue flash moved.

The pupil of one of his eyes, which was left open, grew so large that it seemed as if it would tear.

The remaining four comrades who had been rushing towards Ossian were all frozen in place, turning into statues.

It happened in the blink of an eye. I couldn’t even see what happened.

“what.”

Ossian said that he wields a pure white aura that contains high-calorie energy in his sword.

But it was the opposite. The shape, color, and effect of the sword were all different.

The strength left the cross-eyed man’s legs and he slumped down on the seat.

Although he had taken on all sorts of requests, this was the first time in his life he had encountered a situation like this.

Ossian, who showed an overwhelming presence, lifted his moonlight and stood in front of the cross-eyed man.

“It seems like you know this situation best.”

Ossian looked down at him.

Because it was an abandoned building with little light, Ossian’s face could not be seen.

All I could see was his pupils. That made the squint look even scarier.

Those black eyes that held no emotion and a tone of speech that was almost indifferent.

Even though he had killed dozens of people on his way here, he didn’t even lose his breath, as if he was living in another world.

“Tell me. Who ordered you to do this?”

“I, I… … .”

Originally, he shouldn’t have said it. But the squint-eyed man wanted to run away from this fear right away.

That was when I couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to open my mouth.

Phew!

Red blood spurted from the temple of the squinty-eyed man, and his body fell to the side.

The cross-eyed man with his eyes rolled back didn’t even move an inch. He was dead.

“Who are you?”

There was a note of displeasure in Ossian’s voice.

He stared piercingly beyond the ruins, beyond the darkness of the steel frame.

Pure white sparks flew from Ossian’s eyes.

“Whoa, whoa. Don’t be like that. I saved you, didn’t I?”

The one who appeared with a leisurely voice was a man with red hair like a lion’s mane.

At first glance, it looked like I was seeing a free-spirited wild predator.

The outfit that reveals her chest, the necklace and ear piercings, and even the sunglasses on her face.

He waved the pistol in his hand, the gun piercing through the temple of the cross-eyed man.

Behind the man, what appeared to be members of his organization appeared in a swarm.

“I am.”

Ossian warned the man in a chilling voice.

“He asked who you are.”

If you answer my questions with nonsense one more time, I will immediately resort to force.

As the unimaginable murderous intent surged through them, the bodies of the members lined up behind the red-haired man trembled.

Some out of fear, others out of the instinct for survival.

They were trying to pull out the weapons in their arms without realizing it, but soon they had no choice but to stop their actions.

“Who said to move on his own?”

Because the leader they followed glared at them with sharp eyes behind his slightly lowered sunglasses.

At that sight, the subordinates stood up straight with discipline in place.

Ossian, who had seen the series of events, had an intuition that the red-haired man was not ordinary.

‘All the subordinates are afraid.’

Just from that alone, I could guess what kind of personality the red-haired man had.

The redhead looked at Ossian and smiled again, this time in a friendly way.

“Come on, don’t be so mean. I’m not your enemy. You asked my name, right? My name is Kursha.”

“It’s Ossian.”

“Oh. Ossian. I’ve heard of the name. He’s the troubleshooter who’s been making a lot of moves recently, right?”

“Why did you suddenly intervene?”

Kursha shook his head at Ossian’s question.

“There seems to be some misunderstanding, but that’s what I wanted to ask. Do you know where this is?”

“Isn’t that an abandoned building?”

“To be exact, it’s a place that hasn’t received a building permit yet. But it’s going to be there soon. Because this is my place of business.”

My workplace.

Kursha’s voice was not loud, but it was clearly conveyed to Ossian.

“In the midst of all the noise about redevelopment and all that, some arrogant guys fired mortars in our area and caused a ruckus.”

Ossian’s gaze turned to the dead, cross-eyed corpse.

The pool of blood beneath his dead head, eyes wide open, was growing larger.

“That’s why I punished you directly. Oh, of course, you don’t have to be too grateful. I helped you because I’m so generous.”

Ossian’s black eyes turned towards Kursha.

“okay.”

“Ah. You understood my feelings? That’s really fortunate… … .”

“It was your doing.”

Kursha shut his mouth at Ossian’s words.

It was strange from the beginning. It was strange how they brought so many people to such a secret place so quickly, and it was also strange how they shot and killed them at such an unbelievable timing.

As if it was meant to be.

No matter how much he let his guard down, the shot that killed Ossian before he could react was the same.

I didn’t feel any killing intent when I shot the gun.

There is only an inorganic motivation, like clearing something from the street.

‘I have no hesitation in killing people, and I don’t attach much significance to it. Since I don’t show my will to kill, my senses don’t work properly.’

When you put all this together, it was simple.

The person who ordered the attack on him is Kursha, over there.

At that remark, Korsha stared blankly at Ossian for a moment.

He soon revealed his tongue and snickered. The piercing on his tongue sparkled even in the dark.

“You got caught?”

Kursha admitted that he had done it without even trying to hide it or anything.

Ossian’s expression became even colder.

“It’s surprising that you admitted it so readily, but are you prepared to pay the price?”

“Ready? Haha. Hey buddy. You seem to be mistaken. You’re the one who’s going to pay the price. Have you forgotten? You were the one who got in our way.”

“we?”

“Ah. By the way, didn’t I tell you? Let me introduce myself again. I am Kursha. I am a director of the North Blinders. Is that enough for you to understand?”

North Blinders.

Ossian remembered the name clearly.

They are a corporate mafia, and they are the ones who clashed with him during the witch exile incident.

At that time, Ossian had a fight with Balud, one of the directors of the North Blinders.

“This is a vendetta. You don’t know what it is, do you?”

Vendetta.

To put it simply, it is revenge, but for these mafias, the word vendetta carries a much heavier meaning.

Beyond revenge, it was more like a mission that had to be accomplished.

“so.”

Ossian asked coldly.

“Are we going to end it here?”

“There’s nothing I can’t do.”

As Kursha raised his hand, his subordinates who had been lined up behind him took out the weapons they had prepared.

These were specially modified firearms, including a Tommy gun with a cylindrical magazine.

In addition, some of the most skilled fighters had cold weapons instead of firearms, and all of them were modified items.

A bluish aura also formed on Ossian’s sword.

The atmosphere on both sides reached a peak, like an active volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

At that moment, an axe flew from somewhere and struck the center of the two people.

The atmosphere that seemed like it would lead to a fight calmed down.

Kursha’s expression distorted for a moment, then changed back into a sly smile.

“Hey. Who is this? What brings our busy director here?”

The one who threw the axe was Balud, one of the North Blinders’ directors.

He appeared, adjusting his glasses and wearing the neat white outfit we had seen before.

“Kursha. That’s it. Any further actions will not be tolerated.”
