24 – Killing is the answer 2

“Stop shaking and come to your senses!”

As my subordinates continued to die from my attacks, I guess I decided that I needed to turn the game around.

It seemed like he was trying to waste time until his subordinates came to their senses by making a loud noise and rushing at me quickly.

‘There’s no way I could give you that kind of time.’

The intention was clearly visible, but there was no reason to suffer.

I quickly unleashed electric magic at the approaching man and made him take a defensive stance for a moment.

He threw the mace and made it hit his body.

“Queuuu! “That’s it!”

It’s a bit funny that they try to change the situation and act like they’re okay, even though it’s obvious that they’re enduring pain.

Looking at him like that, I laughed and answered briefly.

“That can’t be possible.”

In the first place, the mace was not my main weapon, but only a weapon for containment.

A weapon for check that is okay even if it succeeds, and it is okay even if it fails.

Thinking like that, I finally released the mana that had been compressed out of my body.

“Lightning.”

A magic created by countless modifications of electrical magic.

Electric magic containing enormous mana shocked those around it as if it exploded on its own.

Soon, it violently hit the things below and spread electricity in all directions.

Quaaa!

Instantly, the entire surroundings flashes white due to electric magic.

The lightning struck so intensely that it took away one’s eyesight for an instant, turning the target it hit into something that was not human, but something in the shape of a human.

A sense of fear was forcibly instilled in those around him.

‘With this, no one wants to turn the tables.’

It will be possible to deal with the remaining guys without much difficulty.

I decided to take care of everyone except for the angry guy I had thought of earlier and unleashed my mana again.

“Save me, save me. My … “Please save me, please.”

It was worth killing him as cruelly as possible to make him cooperate when extracting information.

I flicked my mace as I approached the person in front of me who was terrified and kept repeating the words, “Please save me.”

“If you answer the question, I will save your life.”

Of course it’s a lie.

Even if you let him live, it’s obvious he’ll come back for revenge later, so there’s no reason to let him live?

‘On top of that, it’s obvious that my information will also be sold to the cult.’

Whatever it may be, there is no need to save it.

With those thoughts in mind, I slowly opened my mouth.

“Anyway, even if I don’t kill you, it won’t be noticeable.”

“… “Hiccup.”

She quickly nods her head at my sincere lie and appears to completely believe what I am saying.

‘No, to be precise, it seems like he wants to completely believe it.’

There would be no other way for him to survive except for me to save him.

I took a quick look at Rumi, who was unconscious and covered in injuries, and then slowly continued speaking.

“First, tell me what you know. Entire.”

“Well, I’m at the bottom… “I don’t really know anything.”

Hearing those words, I clicked my tongue and chopped off his leg with the mace.

“aaah!”

A scream mixed with tears echoes around the surrounding area and spreads everywhere.

I looked at her like that and said it was pathetic.

From noble mtl dot com

“Then there would be no reason to keep him alive.”

I guess I finally figured out how the situation was going.

She is covered in tears, rambling and pulling out various information.

“Choi, there was a recent rally. The vice abbot told us to harass Rumi as much as possible, so we all gathered together… “

As expected, there was no particularly useful information.

Well, if you think about Ariel’s case, it’s obvious that she put a taboo spell on herself to prevent her from revealing information.

This guy either had something similar, or she had just enough information that she didn’t even need to worry about it.

‘It doesn’t matter. ‘I just kept her alive just in case.’

I’m depressed because I didn’t have high expectations in the first place.

I slowly looked away, indifferently lowering my mace as I looked at the guy who had become completely worthless.

‘It looks like we’ve caught them all, but what should we do with these bodies?’

If I leave it like this, problems may arise, so I think it would be better to deal with it if possible, but I can’t think of any other good way to use it.

‘I think it would be a good idea to take the strongest one to the Welcome Library.’

The rest… Oh, there is that number.

To warn the Heavenly God Church not to mess with Rumi, and to start an argument in return.

I decided to play a light prank on their bodies and send them to the Heavenly God Church.

Once I had roughly summarized the situation, I picked up Rumi, who had fallen down, and assessed her condition.

I don’t think there’s any excessive bleeding since I didn’t get stabbed by something like a blade.

Because it was trampled by a significant number of people for a long period of time, there are many small wounds and bruises.

I clicked my tongue as I wiped Rumi’s face, which was dirty with tear stains and mud.

‘You bastards.’

What did Rumi do wrong to harass her so much?

I saw it in the story, but I couldn’t understand it, so I sighed and thought about what to do with Rumi from now on.

‘In my heart, I want to take him to the Lercier family’s home and protect him.’

Even if I take him with me, he will try to run away with the IOU, saying he can’t cause trouble.

I’m sighing, thinking that I’m harder to keep than a wild cat.

Rumi seems to have come to her senses and slowly opens her eyes and looks at me blankly.

Because of this, there is a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

To be precise, Rumi didn’t seem to understand what was going on, so it would be fair to say that she was alone in feeling awkward.

I slowly opened my mouth, thinking that no matter how much I was acting as Dern, it would be difficult to resist feeling embarrassed.

“It’s too dirty.”

“…… “

Dern thought about what to say in this situation, and those words were the result.

I was thinking that even after speaking, I would feel sorry and not be able to make eye contact.

Rumi, whose body is in my hands, is crying and talking to me.

“Sorry… sorry.”

Seeing you cry makes me feel quite complicated.

I don’t know if it’s out of simple sympathy or frustration at what Rumi will experience in the future.

Just when I was feeling strangely irritated.

Rumi speaks to me while rubbing her eyes roughly.

“I got caught up in it… sorry.”

Actually, rather than being involved, it’s closer to something I came here on purpose.

I didn’t think anyone would believe me even if I told the truth, so I kept my mouth shut for a moment and then slowly opened my mouth.

“It’s noisy.”

“…… “

This is also a way of speaking that takes into account Dern’s personality.

I used this way of speaking and thought about giving up on acting, at least in front of Rumi, and going with my own personality.

The sense of heterogeneity was too great to change all at once, so I decided to move forward by changing my personality little by little.

‘If you change it little by little, you won’t notice much.’

Even if you notice it, you won’t feel anything strange because you’re already used to it.

So, I decided that it was better to act like Dern rather than being nice to Rumi, so I slowly lowered Rumi down.

Let’s put it down on the floor carefully.

Rumi tried to grab me as if she was missing something.

She immediately shakes her head, quickly hides her hands behind her back, and begins to laugh awkwardly.

“… “Thank you for saving me.”

I didn’t know what to say in response to those words, so I closed my mouth and looked away.

Then, I decided to shake off the mud and blood from my body and finish the practical performance evaluation.

Rumi hesitates in front of me and talks to me in a low voice.

“Hey, over there.”

I was surprised that Rumi, who is always passive, took the initiative to call me, so I made eye contact.

Rumi continues her words to me, awkwardly touching her own wounds with her hands.

“Maybe… Well, you know. “Do you like dogs?”

I was wondering what to say, but an unexpected question that did not fit the situation suddenly popped out.

I frowned, unable to understand the intention of the question.

She nodded because she liked dogs.

“Oh, I see… “I see you like it.”

He begins to nod his head to himself, talking to himself as if he has realized something.

Seeing Rumi like that, I sensed something was wrong, but now I can’t ask for an answer, so I keep my mouth shut.

Rumi looked at me blankly and then said, ‘Ugh… ‘ he spits out the words.

You’re not trying to call me a dog, right?

I had an ominous feeling that something like that would happen, so I deliberately turned around and spoke to Rumi.

“Follow me. “I will allow you to receive treatment after completing the performance evaluation.”

I tried to bring up another topic to keep my mouth shut.

Rumi must have come to her senses as she quickly shuts her mouth and nods her head quickly.

I thought to myself, glad I came to my senses.

‘Is it fashionable to make a fuss these days?’

Otherwise, there is no way something like this could happen all at once.

I sighed, thinking that all of this was because of Delia, and walked off to find the flower of purification to receive treatment.
