How to Live Immortally Episode 299

299 I wasn’t bringing you

Hoya, who came up from hell, pours out grenades. The firepower comes from specially made shaped explosives. It was clearly a combination intended for use against troops, not people.

Knitting nine strings together, forming a sturdy wall like a turtle shell, Kenji swung his arms above his head as he escaped the blast.

Whoa,

In an instant, the ceiling opened and a flood of soil and sand of incomparable proportions occurred.

In an instant, a tidal wave of rocks filled the entire secret passage, making it look like a coffin.

But humans are learning animals.

Even in a space where there was no room to step, Hoya did not lose his balance and stretched out his reddened arms.

The split wave was a technology developed to solidify the planet’s foundation. Hoya ran forward while digging as it was originally intended.

The momentum was no different from that of a bulldozer, causing the earth to swell and ripple along the path he took.

Kookbang!

The moment he managed to overcome the rapids and make a comeback, Orochi’s forearm opened up, revealing a triple barrel. That’s when the shotgun burst out on the path with nowhere to run.

It was a move that struck from all sides, but as if it didn’t matter, Kenji’s spirit suddenly disappeared and reappeared.

The result of mixing blinking and hiding.

“It’s a problem if you think you’re the only one with the upper hand.”

In a split second, Kenji, who had wrapped himself around the cornerstone of Takeya Castle, pulled the instructor with all his might. A horizontal movement that spanned hundreds of meters.

What happens immediately after the skeleton shakes?

Kuuuung.

As a loud noise resounded, as if anxiety had been embodied, Hoya opened his eyes wide. The wall began to swell like a sponge, and then began to endlessly spit out dirt.

Hoya was running as if he was swimming to avoid the death that was approaching him, but Kenji was following him as fast as he could and was tearing up the ground.

“Are you planning to commit suicide together? Do you think that girl, Aris, will understand?”

“I see you haven’t come to your senses yet since you mentioned the Master’s name. This is a favor between you and me. There is no room for a third party to interfere.”

Hoya, who realized that the conversation was not working, poured bullets at Kenji as if he was going to crush him. However, Kenji used even the collapsing ground as a stepping stone and moved around arrogantly, thus nullifying all of his intentions.

Those who want to bury it and those who want to escape.

As the two men continued their tug-of-war, advancing and retreating, they reached the end of the secret passage.

Kookbang!

The moment the narrow entrance discharges a large amount of soil, Takeya Castle tilts like a grasshopper.

As the change occurred rapidly, several people fell one after another, but no one paid attention.

Because a blast of light burst from that high peak and flew into the street, setting everything on fire.

The crew members, startled by the unexpected disaster, move around in confusion, unable to make sense of it.

Should public support or internal suppression come first?

Only one person found Hoya in a remote place who could make that value judgment―

“Sorry I’m late, Captain.”

A man falls and prostrates himself in front of Hoya, who is out of breath.

Bonno Hagei, the president of the Yorunokai, a unit directly under the commander.

He was the sharpest knife that Hoya had.

“Enough with the formalities, now is the time to deal with the enemy who is disrupting the organization.”

Hoya glares at Kenji standing across from him and gives instructions.

“Hey, kill that guy.”

“Your name.”

Hae-gae, who had risen up quickly without any warning, as if he had never fallen down, stared straight ahead. A single sword hung from his waist.

Although it was a simple weapon, Kenji did not let his guard down. It was because he was familiar with the face.

“It’s been a while. Is this the first time since I was expelled from the organization a year ago?”

“… … .”

Hae-yi was a rival who fought for the position of swordsman until the very end. Considering that he had been supported and protected by Hoya, it could be said that his skills were at their peak.

If he had ten fingers, he would have been able to predict the upper hand, but unfortunately, he only had nine fingers now that his thumb had been cut off.

Moreover, Hagei’s exclusive unit was Higekiri (?切). It was a single-molecule blade that reminded someone of him.

The difference is that his black original performance has been reduced, but durability has been increased.

‘Kill it all at once, and aim for Hoya right away.’

Kenji had crossed the line between life and death when facing a similar opponent. He had relived that humiliation hundreds of times in paradise, so his first move would be more perfect than anyone else’s.

Now that the policy was set, all that remained was to execute it.

widely.

As the distance narrows, tensions rise.

A critical situation.

The moment Kenji reacted to the sight of Hae-yi’s afterimage that seemed like he was going to jump up, he immediately swung his instructor―

“… … ?!”

Hae-gae, who had been mocking his intentions, turned around and went behind Hoya and stabbed him in the back.

“Ugh.”

Hoya was caught off guard by the completely unexpected surprise attack. He looked down at the blade sticking out from his chest and asked in confusion.

“Why on earth… … ?”

“I don’t have to take orders from someone weaker than me.”

“Hey, Nenom!”

Orochi was also fully equipped with a medical kit for emergency treatment. It was enough to avoid a crisis unless it was a serious injury.

As if responding to Hoya’s will as he entered the light of the moment, the armor opened and the gun barrel shot up, but as if he had expected this, Hae-gi absentmindedly pulled out Higekiri and cut through the bullets that were being fired.

Hoya’s resistance ended one beat later.

Clap, clap, clap.

In response, dry applause dominates the hall.

“This is such a glorious ending, it motivates me to see it. I should never end up like that.”

Hoya, who saw the face of the man walking leisurely from the other side, said the name in disbelief.

“Ryoichi?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

“Why you?”

“Isn’t that question too easy and self-centered?”

Hagee, who had completed a specially assigned mission, stood behind Ryoichi. Hoya tightly closed his eyes at the naturally divided hierarchy.

“… … Even Yorunokai was in the palm of your hand.”

“You sent an urgent call-up message to other executives, but not to me.”

It’s not that I’m upset, but I could tell just from that one response. Hoya found out about my identity. So, it’s past the point where I can make excuses and just brush it off.

“So I really rebelled against you. Isn’t this what you wanted?”

“……you.”

When I heard the news of Alice’s attack, it felt like heaven had given me an opportunity. Revolutions always bloom in chaos. Especially when it’s chaos caused by someone else, not me.

“Wouldn’t it be stranger not to use it?”

Hoya rebuked Ryoichi, who was not hiding his ambition.

“Cough, cough. Do you think the other executives will accept you dying like this?”

“That’s something for me to worry about, not something for you to worry about, Captain.”

Between his smiling lips, the tip of his tongue is revealed, split in two. A poisonous snake, a seven-poison snake. Could there be a nickname that better represents the man Ryoichi?

Hoya spat out the words as if he was vomiting out memories from the past.

“I wasn’t bringing you.”

“You are so mistaken. It was not the captain who chose it, it was I who chose it.”

So let’s leave it at that― The moment Ryoichi finished speaking, Orochi’s helmet became dented. It was as if he had been hit by someone.

It was then that Kenji, who had witnessed the series of events, opened his mouth.

“Aren’t you even going to treat me as a witness?”

“Ah, you’re still here. Don’t be upset that I just stood by and watched. You have a role to play, Kenji.”

Ryoichi, who was gently stepping on Hoya’s cold body, added softly.

“What about the culprit who killed the leader of the Miyauchi-gumi?”

* * *

The strange events that occurred in District 28 continued all the way to Takeya Castle. Just a few days ago, it was a mountain castle that had been newly renovated and boasted extraordinary grandeur.

But what about now?

The supporting hill was half-collapsed, and Takeya Castle was tilted and on the verge of collapsing.

It seemed like an invasion, but it was all a disaster caused by internal strife.

There is only one culprit.

‘Hiiragi Alice.’

Anyone who was a member of the Miyauchi-gumi would know that she had a special affection for the organization.

This was also the case for Kaito.

So, I agreed to Ryoichi’s boast that he would find a substitute and frame her, but what the heck―it seemed like she couldn’t stand the fierce pressure pouring down from the front and crossed the line.

As expected, what caught Kaito’s eye when he went up to Takeya Castle with his subordinates was a chaos he had never seen before.

It’s hard to believe that it happened in the center of the four major dark regions.

As I run along the taut killing line, I see two groups facing off against each other, centered around an overgear with the Daimon (代紋), the emblem representing the Miyauchi-gumi, engraved on it.

One is the executives centered around Shinkoukai.

Another one is―

“Kenji?”

Kaito, who walked on, ignoring the attention focused on him, clenched both his fists. He had just confirmed that the one lying down was Orochi. As a bonus, he could see Hoya’s face through the broken helmet.

“Who is it?”

Although it was a question without an introduction, all eyes were focused on Kenji. As if he was the culprit.

Ryoichi, who first confronted Kenji, also went along with the trend.

“As you can see, this is the result of the disciple’s struggle to restore his master, Aris. It seems that he thought that if he just finished the work and disappeared, there would be no evidence left behind, but Mr. Hae-gi here found it.”

It was a questionable story, considering that Kenji was the only one who couldn’t be controlled by the organization.

“The crimes committed by the two priests against the organization are not minor, so how about punishing them immediately?”

It was a statement from Ryoichi, the chairman of Shinkoukai, who is by far the most prominent of the lower organizations supporting the Miyauchi-gumi. The leader, Hoya, was a guest who would never return. Who would dare to spit on him, but there was someone here who opposed him.

“Ryoichi Murakami, the president of Shinkoukai, is a disciple of Dogma.”

New religions, dogmas.

A group that thrives in the back alleys of back alleys, its uniquely closed atmosphere is often talked about by the rich. What is most distinctive is its donation method that follows the ten-column system, not the ten-column system.

In a world where basic income is the norm, this was an operating profit rate that even megacorporations would not be jealous of.

But that was only an image on the surface, and those in the know knew that Dogma’s core personnel were all metahumans.

“It wasn’t me who killed Hoya, it was that guy.”

The executives showed signs of agitation, but not to the extent of Ryoichi. They had even gone as far as eliminating Jin-geon to erase any traces, but out of nowhere, Kenji brought up the fact.
