95 – This is not an accident!

A wizard workshop located in the center of the ecliptic.

This place, which sells potions and other medicines and magical tools, was actually a place that was no different from a huge powder keg due to various toxic chemicals and attack scrolls.

Of course, the administrators here knew about such a situation.

Therefore, the wizard’s workshop was always under strict management and maintained a strict atmosphere.

And at this moment,

At the entrance of the workshop, as always, many people were waiting to receive a pre-check for permission to enter.

The magic workshop’s checkpoint is in charge of determining whether or not someone is carrying dangerous items and confiscating them if necessary.

and at this moment.

There, a person wearing a thick robe was standing there to check.

“Then the next person, please come in and show me your belongings.”

The person in charge of the inspection proceeded forward as he said.

Then he casually set down his luggage in front of them, and the people there began to unpack and check the contents.

‘Uh… Nothing special… ‘

Inside was a food package and a book. And it was a token of witch status.

The employee who saw this naturally thought that Lee must be a witch.

As long as witches from the Nation of Darkness come and go to the Falcon Empire, it’s a normal thing, so there’s nothing particularly problematic about it.

After completing the inspection of the last item, he looked at the ‘witch’ in front of his eyes and said in a calm voice.

“There is nothing wrong with your belongings, witch. All that is left is to take off the grove for a moment for identification.”

“… ”

In fact, the person who is considered to have no problem at the point of passing the main inspection.

With that thought in mind, the checkpoint worker looked at the figure of the man taking off his robe in front of him.

By the way…

“! f*ck this… !”

In the next moment, abrupt swearing like a death sentence came out of his mouth.

However, it was at that time that those who were there were about to start informing the outside world of the situation in front of them.

-hook!

“Keuhuh!”

A huge gauntlet flew straight towards him.

As a result, the soldiers including the staff were swept away by the tremendous power without even thinking that they had to deal with something at that moment.

-puck!

“Kuheugh!”

“Kak!”

Staff and soldiers slammed to the floor while making a short, dull sound.

Visitors standing in the back of this sudden incident screamed in fear and started to run away to avoid being caught in the situation.

On the other hand, the wizards and soldiers standing guard right in front of the checkpoint raised their weapons and spoke in ferocious voices.

“You bastard! What the hell is this!”

“How dare you make a fuss about this place!”

A situation of unknown cause caused by an unknown person.

However, whatever it was, they knew very well that if something went wrong in this powder keg-like place, there would be an irreversible situation.

Anyone who makes a fuss in such a dangerous place, even if it is a witch from the Nation of Darkness, should be punished immediately.

Thus, the soldiers immediately tried to act immediately to punish the man who had recklessly attacked them in front of their eyes.

But…

-hook!

“!”

Just when they are about to approach the ‘witch’.

He appeared in front of them in an instant, as if time had stopped.

and…

-Kwaguawang!!!”

As he swung his fist at them, an enormous shockwave was generated.

As a result, the soldiers, like their comrades in front, flew in vain and fell to the ground.

Right after the soldiers who were guarding the entrance were knocked out.

The witch entered the studio with her ●△● face hidden under her robe, without any change in expression.

And about 20 minutes after that.

-Quaguaguagwang!!!!

The wizard workshop, which boasts a fairly large scale in the empire, started to cause a huge explosion due to a sudden fire.

A huge mushroom cloud was created as various magical medicines and attack magic stored inside were continuously detonated.

And right after that, flames began to soar simultaneously and multiple times in the buildings around the area where the magic workshop was located.

Like…

It was as if someone had set fire to it at the right time.

*

“damn! Come on, turn off the lights! If we continue like this, everything will burn!”

“Ah… I can’t! The fire is already so intense that it cannot be quenched!”

Residents and soldiers do their best to put out the flames in front of them.

However, the red flames in front of their eyes turned them into colorless, and quickly expanded their reach while swallowing all directions.

Perhaps it was caused by the influence of magic in the magic workshop, the flame did not go out well even when water was poured on it, and the speed of spreading was several times faster than that of ordinary fire.

In the end, the flames were extinguished only after burning down an entire city district.

The place that seemed to represent the grandeur of the empire just a few hours ago was completely reduced to ashes.

In the meantime, the citizens were just looking at the end of this misery with a devastated expression on their faces.

“The damage is serious… ”

“I think so, General Achilles.”

Achilles, who immediately rushed to investigate the case by order of the emperor.

Normally, he was quite indifferent to someone’s sacrifice, but even he couldn’t help but automatically frown at the horrors he saw in front of his eyes.

Severe damage caused by the entire 5% of this huge ecliptic being blown away.

The scale of the property loss caused by that was unpredictable, especially considering that the wizard workshop and other major facilities were sandwiched there, the technical damage would increase exponentially.

‘Of all the many places, this is the place… Is this a mere accident? Or someone as part of… ‘

It was at this point that the exact situation had not yet been grasped, so I could not be sure of something.

However, from the standpoint of investigating this situation, Achilles’ intuition was telling.

This is by no means an accident that happened by accident.

“How many deaths, roughly?”

“That is… Fortunately, no one has been killed in the explosion so far. However, the number of injured is so great that there is a possibility that deaths will occur in the future… ”

“… I mean… ”

Another unexpected word that came out of the mouth of a subordinate.

Hearing this, Achilles began to be convinced that this incident was not just an accident, but someone’s premeditated crime.

And right after I made up my mind like that.

Achilles immediately turned around and began to leave.

“I have something to look at. Please don’t ask me for the next day.”

“yes? Go…where are you going all of a sudden?”

A subordinate who shows embarrassment at the sudden declaration of departure by his superior in charge of the field.

In response, Achilles threw a word at him in a cold voice.

“I’m going to catch the culprit. If someone asks a question, answer it that way.”

“that… what is that… ruler… Wait a minute, General!”

Achilles jumped up on the roof in an instant and fled the scene despite the cries of his questionable subordinates.

Immediately after that, he, like High Priestess Aileen, used his Magic Sensing, an ability that he also possessed, and began to determine the location of the strong people in this area.

‘If more time passes and eyewitnesses’ testimonies are collected, the answer will come out right away. However… In that case, the perpetrators who committed the crime will have already escaped. Previously… I catch them with my hands.’

Achilles, who was hired to investigate a fire scene, which he was reluctant to do, by order of the emperor.

However, if this was not a simple accident but someone deliberately caused it, the story would be a little different.

From his point of view, it can be said that Kihwa has come to deal with talented people who have the ability to cause such a commotion.

As a result, Achilles smiled expectantly at the corners of his mouth and started moving according to the signs of the ‘strong man’ who had just begun to enter his detection range.

‘It looks like they’re hiding their power, but they’re still quite strong. That would be fun. I’ll be able to warm up after a while.’

*

“Is there a pursuer?”

“It doesn’t seem like anything. There is no one that can be seen with the naked eye right now.”

“Keep an eye on it, though. It is not yet safe.”

“Yes, Mr. Samuel!”

The demons who are running away quickly right after completing their mission.

However, currently, due to Hector’s request to prevent deaths in the process, the time has been delayed a little.

As a result, the demons were concentrating on escaping as much as possible without relaxing due to the fact that they were still in the realm of the ecliptic.

Although the city is already out of the way, buildings and farmland are still visible here and there.

They were running away with all their might into the forest in front of them, as there was a risk of being caught sooner if they were pursued in a place like this.

Meanwhile…

In this situation. Hector said in a sincere voice as he looked at Samuel, who was moving almost in tandem with him.

“Thank you… For listening to my unreasonable request.”

“I know. It was a really, really unreasonable request. This debt must be repaid in double later.”

Samuel answered Hector’s words with a dry voice.

However, at this moment, seeing her like this, a slight smile formed on Hector’s lips.

Hector’s argument that no matter how much he sided with the demons, he couldn’t bear to massacre innocent citizens.

In response, Samuel insisted that the mission was completed first, but he accepted his request.

She reluctantly said that she would follow her because the more witnesses possible, the better it would be to manipulate public opinion, but Hector had the idea that she had been considerate of him.

‘I’m not expressing myself well, but… Unexpectedly, she is a woman with a warm side.’

While thinking about that, Hector couldn’t take his eyes off the attractive face hidden by the helmet at this moment.

at that time…

“!”

“this… ”

-Kwagwawang!!!

The next moment, a sudden loud explosion was heard.

As a result, Hector and the demons, who were moving forward, began to be seized with deep tension as they saw the existence that had fallen while making a loud noise right in front of their eyes.

“The author… Who are you?”

“… Achilles.”
