The Devil’s Dead Child - Chapter 333
Only Noblemtl
#333, Only Me
“… Anyway. I can’t just leave it to Aaron, so I’ll have to go. Tell your mother and the farm family first that I’ll be staying somewhere else for the time being. Even if you tell them to pack lightly, it’ll take a while.”
“You want to take the laborers with you too?”
“Because anyone who stays behind can get harmed.”
“Where to go?”
“United Korea.”
“This is a very safe place… I see.”
Crunch.
As soon as I heard Ju Ja-heon’s answer, I immediately left the annex and shot myself into the air.
The intruders formed a circle around the only access road from our farm (where Aaron’s house was), and Aaron followed their formation, knocking down a third of them.
‘… The sense, judgment, and speed are all amazing.’
Aaron’s recent death was an unexpected one, but it certainly made him stronger.
Meanwhile, Dong-gu is still standing in front of one guy.
It seemed like the subjugation was already over, but when I told him not to eat it, he just observed me while hitting me.
He must have fainted or is pretending to be dead.
What’s surprising about this is that Dong-gu was aiming for the opponent furthest from Aaron.
If you look down from above, it looks like they are moving in sync, but in reality, Dong-gu is avoiding Aaron’s scent.
The reason Aaron couldn’t catch Dong-gu himself was because his sense of smell and Aaron’s sense of intuition were almost identical.
Of course, what’s surprising there isn’t Donggu’s sense of smell but Aaron’s sense of smell.
As if there had been a radio call for help, the rats who had not yet been harmed began to gather in one direction.
Naturally, it was on the side where Dong-gu was.
Because Aaron was the type to subdue his opponents before they even noticed.
Dong-gu, who had been perking up his ears and sensing the scent of other enemies, retreated.
‘Good job. Go fill your stomach at Aaron’s barn. I’ll take care of the rest.’
And then I got down in Dong-gu’s place, where he had run away excitedly.
“…!”
The man who had been lying on the floor pretending to be dead opens one eyelid slightly at the change in his appearance and then blinks.
“Ah. You didn’t know I’d be here?”
Not only was his body shaking, but his eyes had already met, so he probably thought it was too late to close his eyes again.
It looks like Dong-gu was shaking his left arm and right leg once each.
By the way, if Dong-gu had asked, it would have been assumed that all the bones were crushed.
“… W, what are you talking about? I was just… passing by here, and suddenly a monster wolf attacked me and I almost died. Was that your wolf?”
Even though the pain must have been severe, the man raised his upper body and turned around.
It is a mental strength that can only come from someone who knows that the situation they are in is more serious than the pain they are feeling at the moment.
“Yeah, yeah. If I happen to come across this rural Spanish town, I might pass by a village where a fellow Korean runs a farm.”
“Literally. I never imagined that a hero would be running a vineyard in a place like this.”
“I see. Simgang’s guild has really good welfare. They even send eight guild members on vacation at once.”
While I was sarcastically responding to the man’s excuses, his face changed dramatically three times.
The moment the word ‘Heart’ came out, I was already shaken,
He had given up on the fact that he had figured out their numbers, and when he saw two of his comrades emerge from the grass to rescue him, he simply closed his eyes.
Ping! Sling!
The reason the man’s colleagues who had just arrived immediately drew their weapons was probably because I had my back to them.
Swish.
“100 million!”
“Eek!”
As expected, when I turned around, the big guys backed away.
Tankrang!
One even dropped his sword.
“No, that’s right… Why are you hanging around that guy’s house?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“Don’t be so stubborn. Just surrender. If you make me any more angry, I’ll become even more cruel.”
dump!
“…?”
“Please, spare my life!”
The man who had dropped his sword earlier knelt down and shouted.
dump.
Then the other guy also glanced at me and quickly knelt down.
“We’re just guys who do what we’re told! This time, our mission was surveillance!”
Just looking at the poor condition of their hearts, what they said must be true.
“If you sent a punk like you to spy on my house, that’s a blow to your pride. Or are you just stupid? Even if I wasn’t here, would you have left the house without a single place to trust?”
“That, that’s true, all the capable seniors were transferred to other teams… sigh!”
I stopped listening to the story, pulled out the dagger on my waist, and threw it down.
Wedge─!
A large rock burst apart as the dagger extended straight out, grazing the bastard’s forehead right in front of him.
bang!
“Snap!”
Almost at the same time, the doll that had been hiding behind it jumped in surprise.
Then, as the dagger that had shattered the rock turned in the air, another one popped out from the bushes in the direction the tip of the sword was pointing.
The two guys who were a little further away arrived one after another.
There were five of them, including the one bitten by Dong-gu. Excluding the ones subdued by Aaron, they were all gathered here.
“If you guys were hiding, wouldn’t I know? Come out quickly. Before I kill you all.”
Although there was still quite a distance, the men gave up on running away, glancing at the daggers still floating in the air.
Because the dagger was aimed at them alternately as if they were alive.
Thud, thud!
As the two men who had quickly run in joined the kneeling ranks, everyone shouted in unison.
“““Please save me!””
“… This is a surprise. Shit.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at that ridiculous behavior.
Of course, life is precious to everyone.
Especially, those who originally considered other people’s lives trivial tend to value their own lives more.
But since the other person is my age, I might be thinking about quickly putting everything down and living.
No, but that’s still the case… .
Is this the extent of the organization that Lee Geum-Hwan put his heart and soul into developing?
If it was an organization that had carried out countless dirty and dangerous missions in the dark, then even the most rookie member was bound to have a certain amount of evil and brutality.
‘This is… , it’s too low, it’s too low.’
“It was really just an order to monitor the situation.”
“Ask me anything. I don’t know anything, but… I’ll tell you everything we know.”
“Please, just spare my life! Aren’t you a world-class hero?”
“… … .”
Is that it?
If you think about it a little differently, they do it because they think their begging will work for me.
You can’t call it courageous to show off to someone who seems like they’ll save your life if you try to trick them.
Besides, even though I have a reputation for being a bit of a bad temper, I’m basically framed as a ‘hero of the world’.
In any case, he is seen as a human being who knows how to save others and take pity on the weak.
In fact, it seems that the possibility seemed greater because no mistakes had been made yet.
Although I was quite angry, it was directed at the guy who had planned this and not at a level where I would take the lives of these scoundrels.
Instead of responding to what they said, I took out my satellite phone and pressed and held down the number 1.
Beep- beep.
The guys also naturally kept their mouths shut when they saw someone making a phone call.
The signal went through and soon a slightly staticky tone was heard.
-I got a call.
“Someone will be delivered to my office soon. There will be a slight delay, but once they’re done… there are eight of them, so please ‘arrest’ them and lock them up.”
-The General’s office… are you talking about that?
“yes.”
-But if it’s soon… No, no. Okay, I understand.
Beep beep.
They probably wouldn’t know even if they heard, but the person I just spoke to was Im Tae-seong.
I recalled the coordinates I had become most familiar with in the United States and recalled the secret of the portal I had received from Echion.
Woohoo─!
The mechanical coordinate movement device, consisting of a magic circle and a large amount of magical energy storage devices, is based on teleportation magic that transports the body.
It also had to fix the two coordinates to each other, but it was only a very temporary connection for stable transmission.
On the other hand, Echion’s two-way portal connects two coordinates on this side and that side of the door.
It’s a real door that can span across to the other side while it’s open.
When I was a cadet, I once advised Gayoung that something like this might be possible.
‘It was easy to say. In the end, the truth was the same…’
I guess dimensional travel would have been easier.
What I overlooked at the time was the type of magic power required.
If we simply compare all the spaces on this earth to water bottles, then opening a portal is like going through a hole in the water bottle.
However, the total pressure between dimensions is the same –
Tagaros crossing the demon realm or Maru opening the door to Duendal are comparable to temporarily closing the entrances of two perfectly good water bottles.
It’s not easy because you don’t know the scent of another dimension, and because they are such huge water bottles, there’s a risk that you might get caught up in friction(?).
However, making a hole in a water bottle required the force of the person making the hole to balance the pressure.
The power that maintains order in that space is the magic of chaos.
Chaos is a power that was only allowed to the Balaurus clan, and a power that could not be lost due to the ban… .
‘But that’s exactly it… It seems to have been a gold seal placed on the heart of the clan.’
Ironically, it seemed that the loss of Balaurr’s heart was what allowed Echion to use his power again.
In short, it is a power that only the current Echion(s) and I can use.
A magical power not permitted to any dragon of any clan engulfed space through my heart.
Tsk tsk tsk!
‘Anyway… Now this kind of thing is possible.’
The blue light bloomed in a straight oval shape, and in the center was a dark blue shade.
“… … !”
Those who had been watching the strange phenomenon with their mouths agape, clapped their hands and begged as I walked closer.
“Please! Please spare me just this once!”
They probably think that it is some kind of black magic that will lead them to the afterlife, as they would never have thought that a person would open a portal with their bare hands.
They didn’t look much different from large dungeons or inter-floor portals in towers, so these guys were the lowest-level members who weren’t even included in guild raids.
“… Don’t die. Did I talk to King Yeomra a little while ago?”
I pushed the closest ones into the portal using the principle of yin yang.
“Kwaaak!”
When he saw his colleague being swallowed up without a trace, the second one to be pushed in started screaming.
“Ahhhhh!”
Regardless, he mechanically pushed the net in and lifted the guy with his limbs broken off, saying:
“If you get over it, I will treat you.”
“…Thank you.”
Still, one guy seemed to know that it wasn’t the gates of hell.
He was a puppet to Dong-gu, so he must be no different from the guys before him, but he was relatively calm.
Now that I think about it, I also have the pride to continue using the anti-communist force alone.
I said something to him because he seemed like the kind of guy who could understand what I was saying.
“If there’s been any recent changes in your higher-ups, remember them. It doesn’t have to be related to your mission or me. Tell the rest of them about it too… I’ll hear about it a little later.”
“Okay-”
Just as he opened his mouth.
A faint ‘chiik-‘ noise was heard from his body.
Suddenly, the moment when I found the spy equipment installed by Yang Jae-jin in Lanzarote flashed through my mind.
‘Chew…!’
This may be because I already had experience exploring electrical signals as if they were magic.
Then the movement of metal, such as a spring or perhaps a thin pin, was detected.
The moment that metallic sound stopped, I felt like something was about to happen.
It’s instinct.
I immediately reached out with both hands to the bastard’s neck and chest, because there were two places where I could sense something.
It was a speed that was as if time had stopped and I was giving it my all.
All of these thoughts and actions were happening at the same time, the moment I first heard the noise.
In both hands that were clawing at his neck and chest, something of unknown purpose was held.
I didn’t know what was what.
at that time.
Boom!
An explosion occurred in his right palm.
The damage was not severe because it was not at the level of the worst that had been prepared for in advance.
The wound healed as the debris was cleared away.
The man who was suddenly thrown to the floor had his eyes wide open, still in shock.
“…!”
That makes sense.
What I had in my right hand was the pendant that was hanging around his neck.
“… Should I assume that this is aimed at you and not me?”
And he showed what he was holding in his left hand.
“That means… whoever blew it up knows that you’ve reached the end of your usefulness. Right now.”
In other words, one of the devices had at least a wiretapping function.
I spoke to the unbroken object on my left palm.
“If you’re a player, listen. If not, tell me. I’ll tell you one thing. No, you already know that. There is no April 15th of the year 36 in Loco33. I’m not the Hidden Peace here. If you kill me, you won’t be able to leave this place. Because I know how you can return to your world. Only I. … So don’t do any fucking shit like this and wait. I’ll invite you soon.”
