The Duke’s Madness - The Duke’s Madness chapter 89
Cassel and Suga, who were next to them, couldn’t help but be astonished.
“Now, what are you doing?”
“… Are you crazy?”
Arthur picked up the pistol from the cook’s hand and shook it.
“Why would an average cook hold something like this?”
“… … .”
“I wonder if he was going to use this to slice our steak?”
Cassel and Suga shut their mouths.
In the meantime, a gnome who appeared quietly shouted proudly.
[Stupid humans! You don’t even know that you saved him and get angry!?]
“… … ?”
[I didn’t know that my contractor saved me before eating the poisoned steak! Anyway, humans are tsk tsk… .]
Seeing that, Cassel narrowed her eyes and asked.
“What is this guy, Dunn?”
“Ah, it’s my spirit.”
“… government ordinance?”
“It’s a high-ranking land spirit, but it’s puberty these days.”
At this, the gnome was startled and shouted.
[Why am I a puberty!]
With a shout, the gnome’s body became translucent.
It’s because Arthur reverse summoned him to the spirit realm.
In the quiet room thanks to that, Arthur quietly gestured.
“… … .”
Cassel and Suga, who had been watching, moved closer.
In the meantime, Arthur, who brought his ear to the door, clicked his tongue.
“sh*t… Looks like you’re already under siege?”
“A siege?”
“There was a lot of stuff out there. With a weapon that smells like blood.”
Cassell was belatedly startled.
“Really… . Are they pirates?”
“I guess so, right? hmm… .”
Arthur, speechless, pointed at Suga, who was trembling.
“Can Cassel take care of Suga for now?”
“… What are you going to do?”
“Since there seem to be a lot of them, I’m going to give them a shot.”
With these words, Arthur opened the door and took a sharpened sword and knife.
He even aimed his Beast at a group of gangs holding guns.
bang-!
With gunshots reverberating, the crowd standing in the way became black marbles.
“… … !”
While Cassel, who was watching, opened his mouth, Arthur, who was picking up the pirates who had turned into marbles, shouted.
“After Cassel!”
Cassel drew his sword without answering.
Then, holding it in reverse, I stabbed it backwards according to Arthur’s words.
“Ouch!
With a light moan, a man broke through the wall and appeared, dying as it was.
Cassel, who clenched her tongue at the sight, pondered for a while and grabbed Suga’s waist.
“Kyaa, kyaaak-!”
“Sorry! sorry! But I can’t help it!”
With these words, Cassel rolled forward and hid behind the table.
Tata tatak-!
At the same time, the high-end VIP room became a mess with gunshots reverberating.
Arthur, who watched the situation while rotating the ring, shouted.
“Kassel! Let’s go upstairs!”
“… stomach!?”
“yes! I’d rather fight from above because of Suga!”
Cassell hesitated for a moment.
‘Let’s fight on top of the running train?’
Cassel, who was worried, finally nodded.
‘I feel so much energy. It’s not a level where you can fight while protecting one person.’
In this case, it was better to get on top of the train and fight head-on, as Arthur had said.
As Cassel got up with his thoughts, Arthur summoned the gnomes again.
“A stepping stone, Mr. Gnome!”
The gnome sighed and, following Arthur’s words, obediently built a platform.
Arthur stepped on the platform and went up first, followed by Cassel and Suga.
Clap clap-!
Along with the noise ringing in my ears, the blade-like wind blew my hair mercilessly.
Cassell and Arthur easily found their way into the center, but Suga, who was an ordinary civilian, was different.
“Ugh!”
She dug into Cassel without opening her eyes properly.
Shocked, Cassel shouted, not knowing what to do.
“More, Dunn! how about this… .”
At this, Arthur gestured.
At that moment, an earthen shield created by the gnome’s ability wrapped around the two of them.
“oh… .”
With Cassel’s low exclamation, Arthur followed me and looked at the pirate as he climbed onto the train.
“pup! Even if you run away, run away to a place like this!?”
“You didn’t die gracefully, you bastard!”
“It looks like a parasitic brother, and I’ll make it into minced meat!”
With cheap threats, the pirates’ personnel climbed onto the train and burst into giggles.
Arthur watched the scene and smiled.
“Is this the end?”
“end? What is it? There are more below. Hey!”
“Oh really?”
“Anyway, you guys are done! I will kill you whether you hand him over or not!”
Arthur nodded.
“It’s good. Then I will kill you in peace.”
Arthur pulled out the beast and pulled the trigger.
Kwaaang-!!
Thanks to the black orb placed in the magazine, its power was incomparable to that of the moment before.
The darkness that was shot out engulfed the pirates’ personnel.
At the sight, Cassel flinched involuntarily.
“… What is that? Is it a gun?”
In the meantime, Arthur muttered as he blew out the smoke rising from the Beast’s muzzle.
“Why don’t you come out soon?”
“… … ?”
“Can you see what’s hiding?”
A low laugh erupted at these words.
Ummm-!
At the same time, along with the cry of an animal, a huge white bear got on top of the running train.
“What else is that… ?”
While Cassel muttered softly with his mouth open, Arthur tilted his head.
“A white bear? It is a rare bloodline.”
To this, Volibear, who climbed onto the train, replied.
“Exactly, blood relatives. Is that your last will? mercenary?”
Arthur replied with a smile.
“That is what I want to say on this side. Can I leave something like that as my last will, Mr. White Bear?”
* * *
The polar bear and Arthur widened their distance.
Cassel, who was watching the scene, tried to suppress his itchy hands and thought.
‘I want to wear it too. to that fight.’
However, he could not leave the client alone and act as he pleased.
Because of that, when Cassel let out a sigh, Arthur pulled out his magic sword.
Jiing-!
The blade of the demonic sword turns red with a strange sound.
At the sight, Arthur raised his eyes and murmured.
“oh… Does it look like you really want blood?”
At the same time, I remembered what Cassel had said.
‘Didn’t they say that blood increases in length?’
He didn’t know how such a thing was possible, but he was Arthur who suddenly wanted to experiment.
Because of that, I tore my hand with the blade.
dripping… .
The demonic sword trembled at the dripping drops of blood.
Arthur, who raised a corner of his mouth at the sight, replied.
“it is delicious?”
“… … .”
“If you listen carefully, I will give you more. how is it?”
Instead of answering, the demon sword trembled once.
Arthur nodded his head in satisfaction and looked away.
“Are you talking to the sword? Are you crazy?”
Arthur narrowed his eyes and replied.
“Does talking to the sword make me crazy?”
“Usually they call it crazy.”
With these words, the white bear boomed! He shouted and jumped at Arthur.
Arthur’s eyes narrowed at the agile movements that did not fit his size.
At that moment, the demonic sword in my hand was pulled out.
no i felt that way
Chew-!
The sword, which stretched in an instant, grazed the white bear’s shoulder.
The white bear was surprised by the sight, and Arthur was also surprised.
“Is this going to happen?”
“What is this?”
Arthur raised the corners of his mouth with different exclamations.
And jumped out of the seat.
“… … !”
The white bear, which had lost its direction from the blow earlier, hurriedly crouched down.
“Even if you use a rather strange trick, you won’t be able to pierce my thick skin!”
At that cry, Arthur laughed.
“Then what about burning it?”
Arthur, who caused Julie’s lineage, wrapped the thunderbolt around the magic sword.
The white bear opened its mouth at the sight and murmured.
“… Wasn’t that unexpected?”
With these words, Arthur’s sword rushed in.
The white bear tried to leave the spot belatedly, but it was already too late.
bang-!
With a huge explosion, the white bear, whose pure white fur was charred by Julie’s pedigree ability, stumbled.
After that, I lost my balance and fell down the railroad tracks.
Cassel, who was watching the scene, murmured in amazement without knowing it.
“W-what! Are you using magic now?”
Even high-level spirits are amazing, but magic?
It was something that Cassel’s common sense couldn’t understand.
Because of that, when I blankly looked at Arthur’s back, Suga, who was in his arms, raised his head.
“… It’s done?”
“Looks like it’s over. So now, shiver… uh?”
With an exclamation, Cassell blinked his eyes.
And, looking at the dagger stuck in my thigh, I opened my mouth.
“This is now… What are you doing?”
“sorry.”
Cassel stumbled and lost the sugar he was holding.
In the meantime, Suga escaped from Cassel’s arms and threw himself down the railroad tracks.
no it looked like that
Pot-!
She grabbed someone’s hand before sinking to the floor.
And I went into the VIP room I had just escaped from.
‘… Are you going back to where you left off? why?’
With a murmur, Cassel tried to move, but her body wouldn’t listen.
It seemed that he was paralyzed not by being stabbed by the dagger, but by the poison on the dagger.
Because of that, I couldn’t do anything and my body was shaking, so Arthur came and asked.
“… What are you doing, Cassel? Did you throw it out because you didn’t like Suga?”
“My, why am I doing that?”
“Then, where did Suga go and is he lying alone?”
Cassel pointed down at Arthur’s question.
“He stabbed me and ran away.”
“… You stabbed him and ran away?”
“okay. from the beginning… I think it was planned. All of this right now.”
Arthur’s eyes widened.
‘hmm… If this is true, did Suga also intend this surprise attack?’
According to Cassel’s words, the situation is like that, but I couldn’t understand it.
‘Why?’
Aren’t those who are raiding now the ones who are trying to kill Suga himself?
But to get into their hands with my own feet?
Arthur stroked his chin and pondered, then shrugged his shoulders.
“I can’t help this. I have no choice but to go and ask myself.”
“… want to go?”
“The request isn’t over yet, is it? And I’m personally curious.”
Arthur raised an eyebrow.
“Is Suga really Barans-sama’s daughter? If I don’t hear the answer, I think I’ll keep thinking about it for a few days before going to bed.”
Cassel’s eyes widened.
“hmm… that’s me too But I don’t think I’ll be able to help you with this situation.”
“I am resting for a while. Undine.”
Undine appeared with Arthur’s call and healed Cassel’s body.
Hwaat-!
Cassel’s eyes widened with the refreshing energy permeating him.
‘… divine power? No, it’s a better energy than that?’
In the meantime, Arthur returned to the train and tidied up his messy hair.
A group of pirates inspecting the inside of the train burst into laughter and raised their swords.
“… What is it? Are you taking your time?’
Arthur, who finished arranging his hair, spun his magic sword.
“I can afford it, so I take it easy. Now then, shall we begin?”
