Hunter of the Perished World

“I heard a terrible sound.... You really got rid of demons? ”

The old man stares at Leona as if she were something else.

“Well, I won't be bothered by ghosts from now on. ”

The screams of the ghosts were a horrible sound to think they were literally dying, and the old man firmly believed that the ghosts had been eradicated.

But now, the ghost is in plain sight by Leona's side.

Ghosts were quite useful servants in that they could remain invisible. Of course, an excellent shaman could detect an invisible ghost, but not even the fact that it was cast by Leona.

I made a ghost as a servant and got paid for it. It was a pheasant eater.

‘Why did you live so hard...? ’

Of course, we can deal with any monster this way, so in fact, Leona's quest to hunt monsters could be solved in just one day.

But Leona didn't like it very much, and that's why it was special this time. Leona takes the main road after completing the quest.

‘What should I call you? ’

‘It's called Gourmin. ’

Even though it didn't have the perfect shape, it remembered its own human name, even as it did have a self.

Gourmin was therefore considered to be a considerable level of ghost. Leona was quite satisfied with the level of Gurmin's ego and intelligence that she felt in the psychic waves. It was not possible to completely remove negative energy, but Leona's dominance and control were working.

Are there any ghosts around town about your size? ’

A ghost is fine, but the more ghosts you can pounce, the better. Even if I didn't want to put in an army, I could use three without any pressure.

‘Apart from me, most of them are on the grass level. ’

‘Hmm…. I thought there'd be plenty of dangerous ghosts in a city this big. ’

‘Recently, everyone has ascended and there have been fewer. ’

‘Hmm, that's too bad. Still, it would be nice to have ascended. Did the Ghostbusters ever come here? ’

‘I felt it from afar, but it's all gone. ’

In fact, the old man also knew that the ghost in this place was unusual. The other demon-hunters, who came to visit, got bored with the ghost's power and gave up their exorcisms and returned. Even the ghosts in the metropolitan area could eventually get rid of the lowly ones.

This means that Leona suppressed a ghost that a few demon-hunters had abandoned with their tongues.

‘It might be interesting…. ’

But it was just as obvious as it needed to be. The weeds were no different from the bugs, so I didn't have to rule them all.

That means that there is only one goblin that can be used as a useful ghost. Unfortunately, Gurmin was not a ghost with enough power to exert physical force on reality, but it didn't matter.

Ghosts have the best efficiency for scouting. You can get in anywhere, you can eavesdrop, you can't be seen.

"What are the skills of these Ghostbusters?" ’

"When I was holding the ground, I was able to cope well. But right now, it's going to be hard to deal with good people. ’

There are many ways to use ghosts.

Do you have a ghost hunter who can sense your presence? ’

‘I can try, but I'm not used to hiding myself, so if I'm a ghost who can sense my ears (Qi), I'll feel disgusted. ’

In that case, there were difficulties in using gurmin in the nest for spying. If there's a ghost in the nest, the Ghostbusters will notice, and if they do, they'll be walking around shredding and exorcising right now.

Rather, the guest preached and might have to do the hard work to save the ghost that Leona was trying to serve as a servant.

‘Fine, you can wander around the tower city and pick up clues about Shudha. ’

Leona handed over information about Shudha with empathy, and Gourmin understood straight away.

‘Let's find out. ’

‘When you find the information, come back at night, when I'm at the lodge. Ghostbusters can be a pain in the ass when they find out that you and I are together. ’

Even if you come unseen, the ability of Ghostbusters is hard to predict. So, knowing that Leona and the ghost were having a conversation, not only would something be bothersome happen, but it would be doubtful that Leona would be a witch if unlucky.

Whether to use it as an informant or as a watchdog, Leona has no choice but to choose the former.

If any of the Watchers are demon-possessed, they'll be suspicious when they see ghosts hovering around Leona.

Gourmin left his surroundings in fear of following Leona's instructions. You'll be able to get around anywhere, so if you just give me a minute, I can find out more about Shudha.

Leona ponders for a moment to tame the mobs and use them as informants, but soon she stops thinking. It was better to use insects, not weeds, if that was the case. It must be a burden to train so many demons that they won't be able to understand their ears as well as Gourmin.

Leona was satisfied once she had a new Ghost Servant because she still had a useful card.

Of course, it wasn't the only good thing, and Leona was in a position to watch out for demon-hunters now.

Gurmin proved himself worthy of using demons as servants while taking such risks.

We still don't know if the Watchers are there or not, but Leona believes they are and decides to act.

Vigilant and cautious behavior may alert the watchers. That's why Leona didn't make her own attempt to find someone to spy on her.

This is not the time.

It's not Leona's job to find them, it's the monsters. I'm going to slow down and figure out how to cook them once the Watchers are confirmed. We took care of one quickly, so Leona was about to head back to her nest and figure out what came next.

And then...

Aaaaah!

“Ugh!”

A sharp wave rips through the air and makes Leona feel like her body is full of fluffy hair.

Aaaaah!

“Ugh! Please, save me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! ”

“If you thought it was your fault, why did you do it? ”

Boom!

“Grrrgh!”

Boom!

Someone was brutally beating the man who was hanging around with a whip.

“I treat pork and silverware as alcohol, Ang? Do I look like I would drink something like that? ”

“Oh my, oh my, I'm sorry. Sorry!”

Boom!

Around him are more and more armed guards with guns, and the passers-by are running away in case they run into snow.

“I didn't ask you to give me any cognac, I just asked you for a beer to drink. Are you selling those things for beer? That fake beer? ”

Boom!

“Ugh! No! No! I, we are brewing using the right ingredients…. Really! Unh! ”

Boom!

“Are you questioning my judgment when I say I'm a fake, you lowlife? ”

Boom!

“Oops!”

Every time the whip was struck, the man was trembling with his limbs stretched out like a frog.

Leona knows.

A whip is a dangerous weapon that can break your muscles, unlike what it looks like. Leona had seen Princess Ju-Seong beat a sinner to death with a whip.

But the young man wielding it was wielding a whip to see if he knew that. We don't know the details, but Leona made her decision by watching the scene.

‘I'm not going to die. ’

Seeing the man breathing harshly, he looks tired of the sheaves.

It's not uncommon to whip.

I had finally given up trying to use Leonardo Jean's steel sword and wire blade.

It seemed impossible for a young man to beat a man with a whip to kill him, rather than his arms and legs looking so stiff.

“Ahhh! Sorry, sorry, sorry... Ugh..."

“Th, stop it! Help! Help me! Sir! ”

A young woman who had never seen a man beaten up came out and begged a young man for help.

“Phew... Phew..."

The man sighs, grumbling about what he was so angry about. The man who was beaten by the whip was trembling, lying on the ground. The clothing was torn, of course, and the wound was bleeding.

“You know it's a crime to sell fake booze, right? This is a grave deception. ”

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please…"

Is that the kind of neighborhood where people can be defeated just because it's barely planted? Leona was wondering, but soon enough, the city of this tower knew it was a place where it could be.

The man who was beaten several times by the whip was not even getting up because the beer tasted bad.

The man mutters, looking down at the woman on his knees.

“Even sell fake booze to me, the defiant Medici family? Can I say I want to die? ”

“I'm sorry! I'm sorry I didn't see you! Please, please have mercy! Really, really, we don't sell fake drinks! It's true!”

The woman cries out and says she's innocent, but the man doesn't seem to want to hear it.

“You don't intend to admit your sins to the end. Your father is a gunman, and you are a slave. ”

“W-we can't.... No way! Is that what this is...? ”

When the woman said that in a trembling voice, the man laughed.

“You should have come in when you said so. ”

Leona was able to understand the context of the case.

The nobleman in sight tries to take her to the tower.

But a man who looked like a parent would naturally refuse. Slavery is made among the common people, but slavery is one of the two.

Volunteer, criminal.

Of course, a felony can be a murder, but a common felony can be forgiven as a slave.

The man urged the woman to become a slave, and when she refused, the nobleman tried to make her a criminal by making a ridiculous accusation.

‘That's too much. ’

The city of the tower is not a small community like Castle. In a large city, rules are needed on the surface, and nobles pretend to abide by them.

Therefore, the innocent man was to be beaten and shot, and the woman to be enslaved.

Leona is not impressed by the first sight of Shimach Windil and Rudre Windill, both of which are examples of good nobility.

The City of the Tower is a Noble City.

All commoners exist for the nobles.

Leona felt like it was being passed on to her skin.

And it wasn't so rare that people who passed by could feel more and more real.

The scenery in front of me will be happening every day, every moment, somewhere in the city of the tower. You frame innocent people, you punish them, you kill them, you enslave them. Play with it like a trinket and discard it if it becomes useless.

Excessive people flee because even if they make eye contact, the fire may spread to them.

“Hey, kid, have you seen it? ”

And then, Leona stood nailed down for too long.

One of the armed escorts looks at Leona and mutters maliciously.

“Me?”

“Who's the kid here but you? Get out of my sight. If you don't want to be punctured in the cannula. ”

Before Leona could say anything, a young nobleman appeared through the guards.

“What, some cowardly little boy is interrupting ‘the performance of his duties...' ”

And then, the nobleman saw Leona and forgot to speak.

Leona takes her time off yesterday in the city of the tower, as well as in her well-washed clothes.

And the well-washed hair did not need to be tied, so it was still flowing under the shoulders.

“Look at this.”

The man sweeps Leona from top to bottom like a gentle look. It seems that the woman lying flat on the floor and the man who owns the bar who collapsed in blood have already lost interest.

“I am Mudhabe Medici, the defiant member of the Medici family. ”

After saying that, he looks at Leona and smiles maliciously.

“Will you be my slave? ”

Of course, there was only one thing Leona would say to that evil gaze.

“Fuck you. ”

Leona laughs.

Of course, it was common sense that Mudhabe Medici's expression was badly distorted. An armed guard points a gun at Leona in an instant.

The revolver was in the coat, and the AKM was dismantled and is now in the bag. It was Saladin's advice that nothing good would come of carrying a weapon.

Mudhabe threatens Leona with a cruel tone.

“Did you know that you insulted a ‘nobleman’ for crimes of extreme control in the city of the tower? ”

“Ah…. I didn't realize it was here so soon. ”

Of course, Leona wasn't afraid of the double firepower in front of her eyes.

“Then I'll explain it kindly. ”

He nods slowly, smiling in triumph as if it were a novice for Leona to do this.

“You have insulted me, one of the most respected noble families in the city of the tower, a defiant member of the Medici family. Don't you want to know the price for insulting me like this? ”

“I'm curious. ”

Leona asked, and he laughed.

“Your sins deserve to be beheaded or gunned down, but I will forgive you for being a merciful man. Tie him up.”

He was confident that no matter how stiff Leona was, he would make her stand before his authority. It was very interesting for him to subdue such a stiff little boy.

He was already thinking about how to train a pretty girl to lean like a dog and lick her toes.

That was one of his many hobbies.

The guards came up with a rope.

Leona pulls something out of her pocket.

“But that Medici family. ”

Leona grins.

“Is that a Myster?”

Everyone, including Moudave, is frozen in front of the Wyndrill crest that Leona pulled out. Leona smiles at them, waving her sentences and looking at them frozen.

“I'm afraid not. ”

Then Leona approaches the guards, as if to leave them alone. They step back, as if threatening. Leona approaches the nose of frozen mudave medici.

“How can you, like you, bear the sentence of the Windhil family…. ”

“I'll tell you again. ”

Leona looks at Mudhabe's face and thinks it's one of the two.

The Medici family is actually a worthless aristocrat.

House Windille is more powerful than Leona ever imagined.

Of course, it was most likely both.

“Fuck you. ”

Laughing like it's funny.

“And fuck off. ”

Leona adds.

With that said, no one could bring a gun into Leona this time.
