The Duke’s Madness

Frakil’s ring.

To be precise, Arthur, who had awakened the ability of Whitebeard’s ring, sprinted down the main street hiding himself in the darkness.

“They’re in their room!?”

“There was no trace!”

“Where the hell have you gone, you bastards!”

Countless people passed by such Arthur, but no one noticed.

Arthur, who was running like that, stared at the magic power plant and was lost in thought.

It was a very special power supply only in Arcane, and it was a very important building that supplied power to waterways and everywhere that needed electricity.

‘If the supply here is cut off, the entire city will go into darkness.’

That would make it easier to escape.

With his thoughts, Arthur went to Pierre guarding the entrance and looked at the men.

“What is this fuss about?”

“I heard that some madman shot himself at the auction house… Kuck!”

With the sound of the wind cracking, the men wearing clown masks collapse.

Arthur, who took their lives with a single knife, entered the magic power plant.

“Hmm… .”

A magic crystal weighing close to 1 ton was confined in a special barrier and emitting light.

There were several buttons flashing under it, but Arthur, who was watching, tilted his head.

“Once it comes, how do I turn it off?”

Arthur, who was worried, took out the beast and held it.

“When I am ambiguous… Wouldn’t it be better to break it down?”

It was the moment Arthur, who raised the corner of his mouth with thoughts, was about to pull the trigger.

With the sound of a dog barking from somewhere, Arthur’s back bends 90 degrees.

puck!

At the same time, the flying dagger stuck under his feet.

Arthur, who turned his gaze, burst into exclamation.

“… oh. Did you come after me?’

“Where are you going to escape the dog’s sense of smell?”

With these words, a man appeared from the other side.

As expected, he was wearing a clown mask, but the difference was that five dogs guarded him.

“aha. It looks like he was chased by a dog. It seems that even the smell couldn’t be erased… .”

Arthur, who got up with his thoughts, turned the Beast’s muzzle.

bang-!

A bullet flew off with an explosion and hit the man’s body.

But it’s not as compressed as it was in Hamburg.

‘Did you avoid it?’

At the same time as he thought, Arthur jumped up from his seat.

At that moment, the dagger of the man whose upper body was plastered with bizarre tattoos was pierced where Arthur had been standing a moment before.

“Did you avoid it?”

The man who opened the distance with a murmur tilted his head.

Five dogs gathered around him, and Arthur, who was watching, couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked a question.

“Are you a dog trainer?”

“Not similar.”

Along with the answer, the man threw a dagger.

Arthur used his meteorite sword to deflect the dagger, while pulling the Beast’s muzzle back.

bang-!

This time, the man in the clown mask neatly avoided it.

Apparently, it seemed to follow the direction of the muzzle and predict the damage.

Theoretically possible, but impossible with ordinary human reflexes.

Because of that, Arthur tilted his head.

‘There is only one ring of mana that can be felt… . How is that possible?’

Arthur, who was worried, used space jump.

“… !”

The startled man paused.

At the same time, Arthur, who occupied his back, wrapped a lightning bolt in his hand.

puck-!

The man’s right arm was neatly cut off.

Without stopping at that, Arthur thrust out his sword.

The man in the clown mask escaped the blow by twisting his body abnormally.

Arthur, who did not know how to dodge his blow in this way, raised his eyes.

In the meantime, five dogs bit Arthur’s scruff.

Kreur… I’m sorry!

The sharp molars broke the clavicle bone, as if it were not an ordinary dog.

The man who was watching the scene burst into a mad laugh and shouted.

“Kekekekekek! If bitten by a mad dog, it’s over! bye!”

At the shout, Arthur blinked and asked a question.

“oh… . Is this dog crazy?”

“yes. I specially raised… huh?”

The dog trainer narrowed his eyes.

“you… How are you alive?”

“Ah, did you originally intend to kill me with this blow?”

“That, not that… Poisoned molars stuck in my neck… .”

I touched the tiger mask Arthur was wearing.

“How does a dog kill a tiger? Haven’t you seen the Animal Encyclopedia?”

The trainer’s eyes widened.

At the same time, the swung iron sword neatly cut the training trainer’s throat.

“… !”

At the sight, the dogs that were biting Arthur’s scruff were startled and fell.

Big, big-!

The dogs, instinctively realizing that their owner was dead, were at a loss.

In the meantime, Arthur, who was recovering from his injuries with Taken’s ability, turned his head.

“Wujjujju, you’re good.”

… …

“Get down! roll!”

At these words, the five dogs blinked their eyes.

“What are you doing, roll!”

However, instead of paying attention to Arthur’s continued orders, he revealed his stomach.

Arthur burst into exclamation at that clever move.

“You’re so smart, but you’re a crazy dog? Are you a dog trainer?”

Arthur, who muttered and stroked the dogs’ heads, commanded.

“Is there a man who smells strongly of me? Can you go and help him?”

Dogs look at each other’s faces and howl like wolves.

kkukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Then, after standing in a single file, they left the magic power plant in an instant.

Arthur, who had been watching him with a satisfied expression, looked away.

I saw a dog trainer with his throat cut.

Arthur, who dipped his hand in his blood and brought it to the tip of his nose, raised the corner of his mouth.

“hmm… I heard that the reaction speed is strange. Is it because of this drug?”

But how did a single drug speed up the reaction?

With thoughts, Arthur rummaged through the dog trainer’s arms and grabbed a drug.

After that, I turned my gaze and looked at the magic power plant in operation.

bang-!

The Beast spewed fire along with gunshots that rang out without warning.

At the same time, harsh static electricity rose from the barrier surrounding the magic power plant.

‘It seems to have been blocked so that it cannot be easily broken.’

After losing his appetite, Arthur ponders again.

I can’t break it, so should I press any of those buttons to stop it?

At that moment, the beast in my hand sent a slight vibration.

“huh?”

Arthur turned his gaze and looked at the beast in his hand.

At that moment, the magazine came out of its own accord and fell to the floor.

Arthur, who widened his eyes at the incident, muttered as he picked up the fallen magazine.

“what? This hole… .”

Arthur, speechless, touched the empty space in the magazine.

‘It’s too small to be called a space to put bullets in, right?’

Arthur, who was worried, trembled.

Then he rummaged through his pocket and took out a Hamburger that had turned into a black marble.

“… Are you sure you want to put it here?”

With a murmur, Arthur raised the corner of his mouth.

After that, I put the hamburg, which had become a black marble, into the hole to see if my judgment was correct.

Clap!

The black orb was sucked into the magazine with an audible echo.

After giving off a slight exclamation, Arthur reloaded the beast and aimed it at the magic power plant.

“… Are you confident, Beast?”

Beast did not answer the question.

Arthur didn’t expect much, so he pulled the trigger without saying anything.

That moment.

bang!

A scream erupted from the Beast’s muzzle with an unprecedented trembling.

It was the scream of Hamburg that had turned into a black marble.

aaagh-!

Arthur, who watched the incident, narrowed his eyes.

“Oh, was it like this?”

But it’s still too early to be surprised.

The destructive power of the beast equipped with the black orb began from now on.

Kwaaang-!!!!

With a tremendous explosion, everything around was sucked into the darkness that spewed out of the Beast’s muzzle.

The barrier surrounding the magic power plant was no exception.

Kwajik-!

With a strange sound, the barrier finally shattered.

At the same time, the 1 ton magic crystal began to emit light.

While Arthur opened his mouth at the feast of the beautiful light, unusual fires burst out one by one.

“what?”

Arthur exclaimed, blinking his eyes, then flung himself at a nearby window.

visor-!

With the sound of breaking glass, the magic power plant is enveloped in light.

At the same time, the rough smoke that rose through the chimney soared up into the sky, and the moment the incident ended.

Something soared up into the night sky.

Papapapang-!

A magic crystal that has become light.

The stones containing 1 ton of magical power turned into shooting stars.

* * *

Explosions of light embroidering the night sky.

phut-! Papapang-!

At that incident, the drug addicts in Area D-52 shouted in a gurgling voice.

“Is it a festival!”

“Hamburg is the best!”

“Enjoy, drink, get drunk! Only live today, only die today!”

Addicted to drugs, they thought the burst of light was the beginning of a celebration.

However, the moment the light that occupied the night sky began to fall like a shooting star, I had no choice but to change my mind.

“what?’

A shooting star fell from the sky with someone exclaiming and landed on a colorless building.

… … bang!!!

An entire three-story building collapsed with a loud explosion.

Drug addicts screamed in horror at the sight.

“Such crazy!!!”

“What is that!!”

However, that was just the beginning.

Shooting stars fell all over Area D-52.

Every time that happened, buildings collapsed and streets were smashed.

＜Lalalalal＞, the back street that Hamburg has worked hard for the rest of its life.

All of that was destroyed by a shooting star that fell from the sky.

Leon, who watched the scene in front of the dog hole that Martial had found, opened his mouth.

“Dude, what the hell. What have you done?”

At this, Ginny, who was next to her, muttered in a low voice.

“Probably more than I imagined… Could it be that he did it?”

“… ?”

Leon turned to look at Ginny.

“More than you can imagine… What?”

“yes. that crazy… It’s not him, Dawn always breaks expectations.”

Leon asked cautiously.

“I guess you suffered a lot?”

“I suffered a lot… . Thanks to him, I got a hole in my stomach and got burns all over my body… this way… .”

Leon flinched.

‘You said you had a hole in your stomach and a full-body burn? What the hell did he do?’

It was a time when Leon could not erase his confused expression along with his thoughts.

Martial, who approached at some point, opens his mouth.

‘Prince. Now seems like the right time to escape. The entire district is in chaos and out of control.’

Leon, who managed to understand the words conveyed only by the way he spoke, shook his head.

“Wait a little longer. yet… Because he hasn’t arrived.”

Martial frowned, but didn’t question more than that.

It was time for the three people hiding in the darkness to wait for Arthur.

Cuckold-!

With a dog barking, five hounds that were not as big as wolves approached Leon and Ginny.

“… ?”

While Ginny and Leon blinked their eyes at the sight, five hounds approached and lay down, exposing their stomachs.

“…do you have a dog?”

“Oh no?”

It was time for Ginny and Leon to watch the five hounds in bewilderment.

Quaang-!!

The entire city is engulfed in light with an explosion that reverberates once again.

In the aftermath, while Leon and Genie unknowingly closed their eyes, thick smoke settled across the street.

“Kuh… .”

Leon got up from his seat with a groan and looked away.

Ginny, who had fallen on the floor, was getting up from her seat biting her lip.

“Are you okay?”

“yes. Rather… .”

Ginny, speechless, muttered as she looked down at the smoke-drenched street.

“Dawn… . Are you okay? what the hell is this… ”

Leon couldn’t answer that question.

The whole area collapsed as if it had been bombed.

I told you to draw attention, he muttered, swallowing dry saliva, who had never dreamed of blowing up the entire city.

‘Couldn’t he really be dead?’

It was a time when Leon tried to soothe his anxious feelings with his thoughts.

A bell rang through the thick smoke.

“… ?”

Leon and Ginny opened their eyes wide at the sudden sound of the bell.

On the contrary, the five dogs next to them began howling wildly.

Cuckold-!

Leon muttered involuntarily at the sound of fearful crying.

“what? What a bell… ”

Then, from beyond the fog, an old and sickly pony appears.

The moment Leon’s mouth opened, the skeleton holding the pony’s leash muttered with a rattling sound.

[Ham.Bu.R.K.Killed.Me?]

Ginny’s eyes widened at the voice that sounded like scraping metal, and she was startled.

“Stop, please… .”

Leon, who was supporting Martial, shouted urgently.

“Do you know what that skull is!?”

“So, there are rumors… .”

“A rumor?”

“yes. An old pony and a bell. If it’s with you, run away… .”

Ginny muttered, swallowing dry saliva.

“A messenger from hell. Gatekeeper of the Great Sky Island… It’s proof that the Death Knight is coming.”

Leon tilted his head.

“Sky Island… What?”

“yes… .”

“Wasn’t that a legend!?”

Ginny pointed, not hiding her trembling voice.

“… But that skeleton. No matter how you look at it, doesn’t it look like a Death Knight that can only come out of a book?”

At these words, Leon averted his gaze.

“… .”

He closed his mouth, furrowing his brow.

I hate to agree, but it seemed so.

I hate to believe the skeleton in front of me, but it’s a creature that only appears in legends.

Death Knight.

It looked like a knight resurrected from the dead.
