12. Can’t be punished by law

At the time of the initial plan, the idea was to simply deal with Joe Barton and acquire the unique skill first.

But after meeting the mayor of Oryton, Baron Lofenser.

I felt something uneasy.

‘Why am I so restless?’

Baron Lofencer’s reaction to the sound of touching the underworld on the outskirts of the city was unexpected.

If I didn’t know the future, I didn’t know, and I felt that the front and back didn’t match too much.

Oryton was no small town.

The bigger the city, the bigger the shadow of the city.

As I recall, the situation in Oryton was a state where the power of the shadows had grown too large.

Citizens, officials and all of them were unable to control the underworld forces.

So, related sub-quests continued, and I ended up fighting Joe Barton…

‘I couldn’t thank you, but rather seemed to be worried.’

From there, I started to have doubts.

The underworld forces and Oryton’s mayor.

There is obviously a connection.

And now.

I heard the whole story through Joe Barton’s mouth.

My predictions were correct.

“Every night, the screams of the 59 dead ring in my ears. The screams of those who fell victim to the demon’s seal… They are absolute demons…”

Diaz’s expression hardened after hearing the whole story.

I too felt the same way.

They were far more vicious than I thought.

Joe Barton vomited out the frustration he had been feeling.

“Of course, Lokter intends to kill the last seven people. This is crazy!

“……”

“I have a favor to ask!”

“Listen and see.”

“Help me! I’ll testify! I’ll tell you everything no matter what threats come in! So…so please save the remaining seven people! The knight has the ability to do it!”

I pondered for a moment.

What was the purpose of my coming here?

‘Of course, it’s a unique skill…’

However, he still had to sacrifice 7 more people to bring out his unique skill.

Also, there was a bit of an uncomfortable feeling about letting 7 people who were still alive be sacrificed.

So, I asked Diaz.

“If this is officially announced. Can Baron Lofenser and Locter be punished?”

Diaz shook his head at my question.

“It will be difficult. Baron Lofencer is a man who knows how to roll his head. He probably destroyed all the evidence. The baron will also support you…”

Hearing that, even Joe Barton shut up.

It was because I realized that even if I did, it wouldn’t be resolved as much as I thought.

Even if you try to publicize it, the culprits of everything eventually end up eating well and living well.

It was unfair, but that was the reality.

After a brief thought, I made a decision.

“Already 59 people have died. Their sacrifices can’t be in vain.”

At my answer, Joe Barton frowned.

“Wait a minute! No way…”

“Yes. I will offer 7 more sacrifices to break the seal.”

“Ha!…Are you the same human as you? When it comes down to it, the power of a god flickers in front of your eyes, so you can’t see the victim or anything…”

I cut off Joe Barton’s words before he could finish his answer.

“Do you know how to break the seal?”

“……Yes. I know. What would you do if you found out?”

I called Diaz.

“Diaz.”

“Yes.”

“They behind them. Wake them up and send them away.”

At my words, Diaz looked back.

There, the two thugs who guided us to Joe Barton’s residence were passed out.

Diaz tilted his head at that.

“If you release these guys now, they will definitely come with their gang.”

“That’s what I’m going to release.”

“……”

“It can’t be punished by law, so it should be used as a sacrifice. Isn’t it?”

Only then did Diaz understand my words, and his eyes widened.

On the contrary, Joe Barton still seemed to have less grasp of the situation.

So I was kind to him and added a brief explanation.

“I will use the Lokter gang as sacrifices.”

“……!”

Joe Barton’s mouth fell open.

It seemed that he did not know that the knights of the Seven Knights would say such a thing.

I smiled a little, looked at Diaz and continued.

“Take care of the trash in the shadows, break the seal. It’ll be perfect. Ah. Then will Baron Lofenser suspect me? I think I have no choice but to get rid of him as well in order to destroy witnesses… Is it a bit difficult as a paladin? “

A smile formed on Diaz’s lips as well.

“If you dare to go that way, I will follow you, lord.”

I already knew this answer would come.

She was originally inclined to be a ruthless demon hunter.

And now, in her eyes, Baron Lofenser and Locter were demons.

I raised my eyebrows as well.

“Then let’s begin. Clean up the trash.”

* * *

“Ro, Mr. Lokter!”

Two men hurriedly came to Lokter’s residence with muddy faces.

Of course, they were blocked by Lokter’s officers at the entrance.

“Huh? Where do you go? Where is this place?”

As befits the ruler of the underworld, it was not easy just meeting Lokter.

However.

“It’s urgent! Joe Barton has been hit!”

“What?”

When Joe Barton’s name was mentioned, the executive’s expression hardened in an instant.

He gave a chin to the man next to him.

Then, Suha immediately went into Lokter’s residence.

Soon after, Lokter walked out.

I felt a tremendous sense of intimidation just by showing up.

Lokter was 2 meters tall.

In addition, his uncomfortable planting made the atmosphere even more threatening.

His expression was the same as usual, but the veins on his forehead showed that he was uncomfortable.

“Is what I just heard true?”

One of the two men stepped forward.

“Yes! Lokter! As you said, we were watching Joe Barton! That bastard came out of nowhere, made us this way and tied Joe Barton upside down and was trying to dig something out!”

“……”

A smile crept across the man’s lips.

It was because of the thought that Lokter would now personally punish those children who had beaten him so badly.

Locter, of course, intended to do so.

but.

“It smells like alcohol.”

“……Yes?”

“I must have told you not to do useless nonsense and watch it straight.”

“I-I was thirsty, so I drank a little…”

Quack!

Before the man could finish his sentence, Lokter’s huge hand grabbed the man’s neck.

And then.

“This is the price for not listening to me. I’ll forgive you with a slap on the cheek.”

It was said that a light punishment was given.

Strangely, however, the man began to shiver seriously.

“Now, hold on! Lokter Niyim!”

The man’s eyes returned to Lokter’s hand, which was aiming for the ball.

He cried out, but Lokter had no intention of stopping.

aaagh!

There was a noise that made it hard to believe that it was hit with the palm of your hand.

The man drooped, bleeding from his ears and nose.

It was desperate.

The eyes of the remaining man shook wildly.

Looking at him like that, Lokter said.

“I saved you because you’re a guide. Guide me right away.”

“Yes! Yes! Oh, I see!”

Then he told the officer guarding the front gate.

“Gather all the executives. Now.”

“Yes?……I understand. But. Who do you think you are? Are you a human brought in by the mayor?”

“No. If it were, I wouldn’t have cared so much. But there’s one guy who’s expected.”

Lokter shut his mouth.

Spitting out the information that the other party was the Seven Knights was only a hindrance to morale.

However, it wasn’t that I was afraid.

‘Seven Knights? joy! I’ve heard that it’s great, but even so, it’s human. He’s the same human being, why should he be afraid?’

There was no business in head count.

Besides, Locter himself was by no means the one who got here for nothing.

It was to survive through countless boundaries of life and death.

Should I call it arrogance, or should I call it benevolence?

It was rather a creeping feeling.

‘I’m also a guy who endured in this hell-like darkness.’

I don’t know how great it is, but I thought I had a good chance in a street fight.

In the meantime, Lokter’s forces gathered together.

Lokter stood at the front and shouted briefly.

“Come on, let’s go.”

Behind him, the key figures of the Oryton underworld followed.

* * *

“Hey, here it is!”

Following the man’s guidance, Lokter stood in front of Joe Barton’s residence.

“Here? Didn’t he go somewhere else?”

“Yes……yes!”

“Hmm.”

Lokter winked at the officer standing next to him.

The officer bowed his head.

“Keep this bastard. If he stabs me in the back, he’ll dismember his limbs.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Lokter left them behind and went to the door.

The entrance was already wide open.

Inside, however, it was uncomfortably quiet.

Lokter pushed the door open and stepped inside.

OK.

indoors far away.

There was a shadow in the moonlight.

The shadow sat on a chair, holding the sword like a cane.

It was Lokter who spoke first.

“Who are you?”

To that question, an empty answer came.

“Is that Lokter?”

Lokter’s brow furrowed.

It was an unknown voice.

So I was sure.

That person is Rohan, a member of the Seven Knights.

“Do you know me?”

Lokter wasn’t in a bad mood.

The fact that the members of the famous Seven Knights knew him made him worth it…

“No. I just asked because he was standing in the front.”

It didn’t look like that.

“…….”

I was about to get a little upset, but the other person said something strange.

“I wonder if there are any rules.”

“What do you want to say?”

“When you start a fight, you’ll cross your arms behind your subordinates and watch them, but before you fight, you’ll come forward.”

Lokter laughed.

It was clear that he was intimidated by the number.

So it must be something like that.

* * *

Behind Lokter, seven executives stood up.

he asked triumphantly.

“Why? Is it dissatisfying that there are so many followers? Then why didn’t you bring them? You haven’t even stopped?”

The executives each pulled out the weapon they were most confident in with a fishy smile.

Sreung! Sureureung!

In their hands, a variety of weapons exhaled life.

From swords to memorizations and axes.

I was able to collect all of them at once.

“Every time you put on your armor and wait for the opponent to pull out the sword. Knights are fair and fair? Say no to that kind of thing. Bastards who don’t even know what a real fight is.”

I laughed at Lokter’s words.

fair fair? a real fight?

It was ridiculous.

If only he had experienced the blood clot that had occurred in Straun not too long ago, he would never have said such nonsense.

However, I didn’t seem like someone who would listen to me explaining things like that, so I just snorted.

On the other hand, Lokter seemed to be convinced that Seunggi was with him.

“Hit!”

At his one word, seven executives attacked at once.

“I’ll break it into pieces and throw it as wolf food!”

“Uhhhh!”

“Kill it!”

In Lohan’s eyes, their movements were like slow motion.

The third eye, which he had gradually become accustomed to, had become quite accustomed to it.

‘Compared to a ghoul, it exploded slowly.’

Officers slowly approaching.

That moment.

A movement so fast that they couldn’t compare, passed by my field of vision.

Blond hair in the dark.

It was Diaz.

“It’s an ambush!”

“Get it! There’s only one ambush!”

“Ugh! Cow, hands!”

Diaz took them out one by one in an instant, appearing and disappearing in the dark.

Gradually, Lokter’s expression crumpled.

Seeing him like that, I laughed.

“It seems like there’s nothing wrong with a lot.”

“……”

Lokter gnashed his teeth.

In the meantime, the officers were already rolling on the floor and moaning.

Lokter watched them carefully.

No one died.

“Right……”

He murmured softly, then raised his eyes and smiled at me.

As if I realized something.

“The Seven Knights…yeah. Didn’t you? That’s why you couldn’t kill them. Kukkeukkeuk!”

But the really funny thing was on my side.

“Can’t kill? Just don’t kill.”

“Ha ha ha! You will! I won’t kill you! But I can kill you. No! I will die!”

“I think you misunderstood something.”

“Misunderstanding? Yes? What is the big misunderstanding? Huh? I’m curious?”

Lokter did not erase his smile as if he was having fun.

I took out the sealed parchment from my bosom and gently shook it.

“That’s why I didn’t kill him.”

Only then did Lokter understand the situation, and his face turned white.

“S-no way……! That, that…!”

“It’s dark, but he manages to recognize it. That’s right. That’s what you’re thinking.”

Locter’s eyes widened.

next moment.

A small sound of incantation came from a corner.

Lokter recognized the voice.

“Damn it… that spell?… Joe Barton! You bastard! You weren’t tied down…!”

Magic was wrapped around the bodies of the seven officers behind Lokter.

The magic applied to the offering that breaks the seal!

“Seven necessary sacrifices…are there left? There are just seven people lying on the floor.”

When my words are over, the magic is complete.

Black flames wrapped around the bodies of the seven officers.

Roaring!

“Quaaagh!”

“Ahhhh!”

“Lo, Lokter-sama! Let’s save it…!”

Pasasak……

And then, in an instant, even the white bones were completely annihilated.

It was offered as a sacrifice.

The evil they had done was returned to them as it was.

At the same time, the sealing magic of the parchment in my hand was broken.

I could feel a mysterious energy flowing through my left arm.

“……!”

At that moment, the corners of my lips curled up.

sh*t.
