I’m Here to End This Fight - Chapter 374



Only Noblemtl

Episode 374. Tracking (2)

Yuri’s bold murder prediction.

Gunther was a little embarrassed by this.

‘This guy is serious.’

Yuri has been hurt.

Even John’s sword was taken away.

So now I clearly understand that this is not a level that can be resolved through conversation with the other person.

Even so, I never expected that Yuri would even consider killing Blair.

The reason was simple.

‘Because the opponent is the grand prince of the Iscario family.’

I have fully informed Yuri about the fame of the Iscariot family.

Also, the power of the Iscario family.

So, even though Yuri was crazy and wild in the cradle,

Now that they have left the confines of their cradle, they have unconsciously thought that they will not do anything dangerous against a powerful and prestigious family.

But glass was glass.

He was really preparing to kill Blair Iscario.

More thoroughly than anyone else.

At this, Gunther nodded his head.

“… That’s why. That’s why you hired so many people to the point of being a hassle.”

If Blair dies, the Iscario family will begin an investigation into his death.

If so, the investigation will most likely begin in the port city.

Arin expressed her doubts about this.

“But if they were worried that they would be caught monitoring the checkpoint and had to use so many people… wouldn’t it have been better if we had just monitored it ourselves?”

“That’s right. I wonder if by entrusting the surveillance mission to someone else, you’re actually throwing a trap for them to catch.”

If they had been monitoring it themselves, no one would have known unless they leaked it somewhere.

But by hiring people, we ended up creating a situation where ‘there were people who requested surveillance with some purpose in mind.’

If the Iscario family’s investigative team digs into Blair’s death, isn’t there a possibility that something suspicious might come up and reach them?

Yuri clicked her tongue at Arin and Gunther’s concerns.

“Tsk, isn’t that you guys?”

“huh?”

“What are you talking about?”

Yuri looked at the two people blinking with a pitiful look.

“You guys stand out so much.”

Gunther and Arin, whose appearance makes even passersby turn around to look at them.

And Poppy, who catches the eye of passersby in another sense.

What could be more suspicious than those people sitting around a checkpoint for days on end, watching?

Arin and Gunther’s mouths were tightly shut at Yuri’s remark.

Yuri clicked her tongue again.

“Tsk, someone had to be watching anyway, so I just made the choice to erase our traces as much as possible.”

“I understand.”

As Gunther nodded obediently, Yuri’s eyes became sullen.

Gunther’s face became trembling at this.

“…Why do you look like that?”

“Because it’s strange.”

“what?”

“At this point, it would be normal to try to dissuade them a few more times or nag them a lot… but they’re just letting it slide too easily.”

In Teresia’s absence, Gunther takes on the role of the sole nag.

If that was the case, he would have definitely convinced Yuri to kill Blair.

I’m telling you to think again.

But now he just let it go without saying anything.

Gunther snickered at Yuri’s comment.

“If I tell you to stop, will you stop?”

“no.”

“… Then don’t bring it up.”

“I wonder if it’s a bit disappointing that I don’t hear any nagging?”

“… … .”

“So, why did you get through it so easily today?”

“just…….”

Gunther answered in a small voice, his voice trailing off slightly.

“When I see you, I feel ashamed of my lack of determination.”

Before registering as a mercenary in Hive.

Yuri asked Gunther the same question she had asked Arin and Poppy as she explained why she was creating a mercenary group.

[How far do you plan on following me?]

Gunther could also hear it that day.

About Yuri’s ultimate goal and the thorny path he is about to take.

Gunther thought hard and came up with an answer.

[I can’t guarantee that I’ll be with you till the end. I have a responsibility to Irons. But… I still want to go with you as far as I can.]

An ambiguous answer that says you want to do neither this nor that, but both.

It may have been a very selfish answer, but Yuri accepted it obediently.

So Gunther joined the mercenary group without hesitation.

He felt determined in Yuri’s declaration to kill Blair Iscario.

‘If he tries to avoid fighting because the person who tried to kill him is a descendant of a powerful family… Yuri’s usurpation of the sword throne, which requires him to fight against the entire world, will never happen even in his dreams.’

A fight with the great noble family Iscariot.

This is something that shows Yuri’s determination, and it will only be a small step on the thorny path he will walk in the future.

So, I said that I would follow Yuri, but I didn’t understand his determination.

And Gunther was ashamed of his own determination, which was far less than Yuri’s.

‘If I decide to follow him, I should also be prepared.’

He thought he would not avoid this fight.

When Yuri looked at Gunther, who had become so serious, with eyes that said, ‘What’s wrong with that kid?’

“hungry.”

Arin interpreted Poppy’s words that suddenly came out of nowhere.

“Poppy has something to ask you.”

“What are you?”

“hungry.”

“How did you know they were riding in the carriage ahead?”

“hungry.”

“And now you’re asking if we’re going the right way? Are we missing it because we left too late?”

Yuri chuckled at Poppy’s question.

“Oh, that? Wait a minute, it’s time for the signal to come.”

“… … ?”

The three friends tilted their heads at the answer that they did not understand.

How much time has passed since then?

Woof-!

A sound heard from somewhere.

At the same time, Yuri’s expression brightened.

“This kid is finally giving me the signal.”

With that muttering, a golden arrow appeared in Yuri’s hand.

It was only natural that everyone’s attention was drawn to this strange phenomenon that they had never seen before.

“What is that?”

“Wow! What the heck?!”

“hungry?”

Even when explaining the circumstances of this incident to Yuri, he had been vague about Wolru.

So, he revealed the existence of Wolu to his friends for the first time and said while glaring at the arrow.

“What is this? Is this the beginning of all this?”

Suddenly, Wolu appeared in the alley and led him to Blair.

Also, when you are hiding well, you create a situation where you have to suddenly pop out and fight.

If you think about it, as Yuri said, it all started with Wolru.

‘So tell that kid to take responsibility and guide him properly.’

Did he notice Yuri’s true feelings?

Woof-!

The arrow glowed brighter and shivered slightly.

Yuri shouted toward the pointy tip of the arrow, perhaps because of her mood.

“Over there, Poppy! Run!”

***

Yuri opened her eyes wide.

At the same time, his eyes lit up as he looked around the space he was standing in.

‘uh?’

A world completely white.

A space of imagination that I came to visit even though I didn’t intentionally go there.

What it meant was simple.

‘Are you finally here?’

As Yuri was building up her voice, a familiar voice was heard.

“How many days have passed?”

A question that was thrown out the window.

Yuri answered, turning her body in the direction from which the sound came.

“About two weeks?”

“It seems like I only blinked once, but time has passed so quickly.”

John sighed briefly and continued with a frown.

“But, does that mean… that you came back after two weeks?”

Yuri felt wronged by the reproachful gaze as if asking what the hell she had been doing all this time.

“Do you think I didn’t come because I didn’t want to? I had my own circumstances, too!”

“What the hell is going on.”

“therefore…….”

Yuri briefly explained to John what she had found out.

John, who heard all this, rubbed his chin.

“… So you’re saying that the conditions for coming here weren’t good.”

“That’s it!”

“hmm…….”

“I can’t figure out the conditions at all. Even now, you only come here when you’re asleep. The problem is that you don’t necessarily come here when you’re asleep.”

“That’s too bad. If you could just freely use this mental space, it would be a great help to your growth.”

“That’s true.”

“Well, I’ll research the conditions for entering here further… For now, let’s not waste this precious time and make good use of it.”

As he said this, Yuri saw John cracking his fist and stepped back in shock.

“Hey, wait a minute! I have something I haven’t finished saying yet!”

“Leave a will before you leave.”

“… Maybe that could be the real will.”

Yuri took a deep breath and quickly explained the situation outside before John rushed in.

That I still can’t use my body properly due to the aftereffects of the training I did here last time.

That he was recovering before the fight.

When John heard this, he released the strength in his fist.

“Huh? The damage I received here accumulates and comes rushing back to reality at once… It’s an interesting phenomenon.”

“You didn’t even know it was inspiration?”

“In the first place, training in the mind is a solitary training. Fighting another being in the mind like you is unprecedented. So who knows what the aftereffects will be?”

“But isn’t it true that there are cases where you get hurt while training to fight against illusory beings in your mind? In those cases, won’t there be problems with your real body?”

“I guess I overheard some bullshit somewhere, but I’ve never heard or seen a person get hurt by an imaginary creature.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

John clicked his tongue inwardly as he saw Yuri nod.

‘Tsk, I guess there’s nothing I can do.’

It is regrettable, but the truth of the matter should not be reversed.

The cultivation in this mind was merely a supplement to the cultivation in reality.

The main purpose is to make what Yuri has gained from the imagination her own in reality.

But if your body is damaged to the point where you can’t practice in reality because of mental training, or if you end up in a dangerous situation because of it, what’s the use of it?

So John began to adjust the intensity of his originally planned training.

Then he recalled the story he had heard a little while ago and asked.

“But, what did that guy who said he wasn’t feeling well do this time that he’s going to fight?”

“Ah, that’s… … .”

In response to that question, Yuri again explained the situation she had experienced.

After hearing this to the end, John’s eyes formed a crescent moon and he burst into a sarcastic laugh.

“Pfft, did you lose?”

“… … .”

“You couldn’t even use that one and it burst properly?”

“… … .”

“Phew!”

… This old fool, really, who is to blame for all this!

Yuri clenched her fists, regretting bringing up the subject in vain.

After laughing for a while, John stopped laughing and said.

“When you say Iscario, aren’t you talking about those vampire bat pups?”

“That’s right, that vampire… Huh? You knew about it too?”

The word vampire that John mentioned.

This means that he also knows the secret of the Iscariot family.

John chuckled at the sight of the surprised Yuri.

“Since you’re asking like that, I guess you know too.”

“I happened to see it myself. But I guess this isn’t really a secret? Do many people know about it?”

“How could that be? It’s a magic technique that would be condemned if it were known to the world, so of course it’s a secret that the Iscario family keeps tightly hidden.”

“Then how do you know, inspiration?”

“How can I do what? Of course I know because I’ve fought those guys before. By the way, what are your plans for the future? You said you’re not feeling well in reality?”

“Don’t worry. I have a plan.”

“What kind of operation is this?”

“So-called tracking and recovery!”

Yuri’s plan for revenge was simple.

We will monitor Blair Iscario as he leaves the port city and secretly follow him.

And until I face him again, I’ll focus on recovering as much as possible.

That was all.

‘If my physical condition recovers to 80% of my original level… no, even 70%, I can definitely win.’

Yuri, who had been attached once, thought so, even if it was a rough estimate.

Meanwhile, John looked at Yuri in disbelief after hearing her explanation.

“… Are you really trying to make a big deal out of saying that you’ll chase after me and beat me up when you get better?”

Yuri shrugged her shoulders as if to say something without saying anything.

John, seeing this, answered in a cautious tone.

“Rather than being a coward after losing once, it’s much better to be confident that you’ll definitely win next time… But don’t underestimate Iscario’s blood feat too much.”

“Blood mist?”

“You know that thing you were talking about? That crimson fog that makes your senses feel strange.”

“Oh, that’s called a bloodbath.”

“Tsk, anyway, that’s quite tricky, so be careful.”

Yuri, who was about to wave her hand to tell John not to worry, stopped for a moment.

‘Stay still?’

Didn’t Inspiration say a little while ago that he had fought the Iscario family?

‘What do you mean?’

Yuri asked a question just in case.

“Sir, that bloody thing or something… Do you know the destruction method?”

“Huh, what’s so great about that that you have to bring up the destruction law?”

“You don’t know?”

“I don’t know anything about the laws of destruction, but I guess I know some tips on how to deal with them easily.”

A strange light flashed through Yuri’s eyes as she looked at the proud John.

“So what is it?”

“that…….”

Johan, who was about to answer without thinking, stopped talking for a moment and glared at Yuri.

“… Where did this kid get his tricks from?”

“Hey, you’re joking!”

“Are you trying to take for free the results I worked so hard to achieve by dealing with those bat pups?”

“What’s wrong with eating it for free!”

“Inseok, that’s all experience. You have to experience it yourself and find your own way to destroy it!”

“You said earlier that it wasn’t a destruction law? And honestly, the reason my body is in this state is because of that old man, so you can tell me that much, right? Huh? Can’t you?”

“No way, huh!”

“No, why are you suddenly so upset!”

“Exciting!”

“…Fuck, just do it once. It’s disgusting.”

“Huh!”

Yuri thought it would be easy to leave after seeing Johan snorting.

But soon, as if remembering something, his irritated expression disappeared and a sinister smile appeared.

“Honey, I don’t think I’ve told you this yet… … .”

“Okay. Do you want me to tell you what kind of nonsense you’re talking about?”

John’s determined expression.

This was quickly changed by Yuri’s subsequent words.

“You know, that bat cub took the inspiration sword?”
