Level Up

Finding Earl Xenon was quick. In fact, I was worried that I could just do one thing and get this much money.

“Kendrick, I'm so nervous. Can we do this? ”

At Krang's words, Kendrick shakes his head, sighing deeply.

“He can't even handle that much money. It's okay. Just keep it organized. I'm sure you'll use it again later. ”

“Well, should I? ”

“Would you give me that much money to just throw it all away? I'm sure if you just use it roughly, you'll end up in a lot of trouble later. ”

Krang nods unknowingly. Because Kendrick's words were so plausible.

To be honest, I thought so myself. I just needed a little more conviction.

“Then that's how it's done... What about Earl Xenon?" ”

“We'll find him first. How are we supposed to get in there? ”

“Does that mean that Earl Xenon is headed your way? And what difference does it make? ”

“Can't you see they're all gathered like that and can't even get inside the mansion? As soon as he's out of his mind, it's over. ”

“It's... it's strong, I know... ”

Khlong nevertheless had to tilt his head. To be honest, he didn't really feel how strong the string was.

You also don't have a clear idea of the size of the party.

I just said you're vaguely strong.

Krang sees a strong, wealthy and master of the tower, and he has complete control of Berlin.

However, I was not sure how strong it would be against the many soldiers and knights who came to this city.

“How many times have you been in the mansion? You're keeping me informed, right? ”

You nod at Kendrick's question.

“Of course. 30 more so far. They were all knights, but they didn't come back, so they must have died inside. ”

“He's not dead. ”

“Not dead? ”

“I would've taken them all down and locked them up somewhere without killing a single one. ”

“What does that mean? Wouldn't you rather just kill them all? ”

Kreng says Kendrick looks at him with a serious look.

“I think he... wants to devour all the cities that have feet here, including Crocchia." ”

Cranky smiles.

“Is it that easy? ”

“So it's easy to be the owner of the tower? What about swallowing Berlin without damaging it? ”

I didn't have anything else to say when I said that. But Krang thought it would never be easy.

Crocchia, now that you've met Earl Xenon, you may be able to get it.

But the rest of the cities talk completely differently.

“Almost there. ”

Earl Xenon has just arrived at the hiding place.

Earl Xenon himself and all the members of the Krasins family spread out and hid them well throughout the city.

Finding those soldiers will never be easy. They've all melted into the city as ordinary citizens.

It was a matter of powerful knights, who hid in secret with the help of the melted soldiers.

It was the power of a secret node built by the Kracis family across the city for hundreds of years.

And where Earl Xenon was hiding was the most spectacular of all.

“I can even hide in places like this. ”

At Krang's words, Kendrick nods and looks at the building in front of him.

It was a high-end bar. It was not just a bar, but a bar where women would serve.

A few gold coins for a drink were a silly place where a decent man couldn't even go.

That's why it was hard to believe that Earl Xenon would still be here.

This place is frequently visited by well-placed people. So everyone will know the look on Earl Xenon's face soon enough.

It was also natural for women here to have heavy mouths, but if they continue to be seen, they are more likely to be spotted.

However, Earl Xenon has still managed to hide here.

In fact, we've searched this place thoroughly. However, no one who searched has found Earl Xenon.

Kendrick and Krang enter the bar.

It was getting dark, so there was no question about it. The two of them just naturally came for a drink.

As soon as I opened the door, beautifully dressed women approached me and greeted me appropriately.

“Welcome. ”

“Anybody else coming? ”

Two women stood next to them and led them inside.

There was a long corridor. And there was another hallway in the middle of that hallway. Perhaps there will be a large room at the end of each corridor.

On the other hand, the women took the two men to the fifth corridor and led them to a large room at the end.

Krang said as soon as he sat down.

“Call the manager first. ”

“Your majesty?”

The women's eyes slightly widened. This is because it is rarely the case. But it was their job to keep up with the guests.

“Please wait a moment. ”

A moment passed after the women left. The two of them sat down without a word.

I am very aware that this room is being bugged by special artifacts.

Don't say anything rash.

The man who seems to be the dominant soon comes in and greets you politely.

“I hear you've been looking for me. ”

Krang reached out with a note.

The ruler tilts his head as he hears it. It had three words written on it.

"Shadow, seal, promise? ’

Krang waves his hand at the dominant. It meant to say goodbye.

“Tell him. It's time to meet up. ”

The master tilts his head in a puzzled look. But it was clear enough to me what they were doing here.

That's Krang, right? ’

We need to keep moving, though. Of course, I did not intend to deliver this message as it is. This will be discarded. The contents of the note will be communicated directly to you.

Krang and Kendrick look solemn as if they had done all their work, eating, drinking and enjoying themselves that night.

And there was one man who snuck out of the bar in secret that night.

* * *

Hyun-Seok sat comfortably on the reception couch in the middle of the mansion.

Only Ryu Ji-hye remained beside the stone.

The rest are scattered to keep an eye on the enemy in case it comes.

In fact, I was almost defending myself.

There is a knockback shot of her skill that pushes her back rather than hitting the enemy.

She sits at the top of the mansion and shoots an endless knockback at her approaching enemy.

It was a magical arrow made of magical power, not real arrows, and I couldn't stop shooting as long as I had magic left.

I told them not to kill me, so I just pushed them away, but even so, the hit was substantial, and the ones who were pushed away never came back.

She's got internal injuries that could break or vomit blood in at least one place.

The rest of the party helps her rest or sleep, but it's not her time yet, so she's still dealing with her enemies on the roof at night.

Of course, there are no more running enemies, but the siege is still unsolved.

Ryu Ji-hye carefully asked, looking at the stone sitting still.

“Why... do you have to do this?" I can clean up after taking a little damage from my opponent... ”

Hyun-seok glanced at her.

“If we don't take the damage, we can end it right now. ”

“But why……. ”

“I'm not the main character in this city. ”

“Yes?”

She looked at the stone with a curious look. At that moment, Hyungseok shined his eyes.

“Finally. ”

The stone rose slowly from its seat.

“Now it's time to do what you wanted. ”

“Just like you wanted? So you're going out to fight? ”

Hyun-seok nodded.

“Call them all. ”

“Yes!”

Ryu Ji-hye hurriedly ran out.

And Juke grinding his teeth, staring at the scene with his whole body bound.

“Do you know how many troops are here? You're dealing with all of them? Don't be ridiculous. We're all going to die. I don't want to live either. I don't think they're gonna let me live anyway. Heave-ho."

Hyun-seok smiled as he looked at the juke like that.

“Wait a little longer. I'll bring someone who deserves to punish you. ”

“Hmph.”

Juke snorts. But I was rolling my eyes around.

I know that Hyun-seok is trying to leave, so in the meantime, I'm going to roll my head to see if there's any way out of here.

Of course there can't be such a way. Unless someone comes to help.

‘Please... I hope they still have some use for me...' ’

That way you can wait a little longer. This humiliation will repay you all someday.

Juke mutters into his stomach and shatters his molars.

And Juke's plan was completely destroyed by the man who appeared shortly after.

Juke's face is black and dead.

“Y-yes, Xenon...! ”

It was Earl Xenon who entered the reception room.

As soon as I saw Juke, Erl Xenon, who had his ferocious face distorted, ran up to him, grabbing his collar and lifting him up.

“You...... you! ”

Juke is caught by Xenon, hung by his brood, and groans.

“Well, that's not what I meant. I have something to say! ”

“It's not worth listening to. Maybe it wasn't his idea, but someone else's compulsion behind it. ”

Subsequently, Juke's words were blocked when he entered the room. That's exactly what I was going to say.

Xenon throws the juice.

The coup d 'etang!

The juke rolls all over the floor and rises up again.

And then he did evil to Earl Xenon.

“I've done more for my family than you! Who protects your family when you go out there to be strong? You want me to pay for all the hard work and bring you the family? Admit it! ”

Earl Xenon hears it and looks dazed.

And I looked at Juke with my pathetic eyes and said,

“I never wanted to be a housekeeper anyway. If you hadn't come out like that, I would've just helped you. ”

“Don't lie to me! ”

Juke yells at Earl Xenon fiercely.

Earl Xenon shakes his head.

“Believe it or not. You're gonna die anyway. I keep regretting that I never should have given you the chance. I never thought I'd let this happen to my family and my city. ”

Earl Xenon draws his sword as soon as he tries to scream something else.

Shotgun!

Juke's neck sprays with blood.

Earl Xenon looks bitterly at Juke's corpse, then turns back to find his cold expression.

“What do you want me to do now? ”

All troops from other cities entering Croccilia have been neutralized.

Once Hyun-seok decided, no tricks worked. They were all locked in the dungeons before they could escape.

It was unusual just to feed them because the number was so great.

With so many troops gone, the defenses in the nearby city won't be so great. You can't just blow this opportunity away.

“Can you clean up the rest of the city by yourself? ”

Earl Xenon shakes his head firmly.

“Impossible.”

The Kracis family's forces are almost intact. It was because Earl Xenon had begun to hide his troops while evading his body.

Except for the Knights that flew away with the late Lord Kraznys, there is little loss of men.

But it was absurd to deal with the three cities that had been here at the same time.

Hyun-Seok gave one bracelet to Earl Xenon like that. Inferno.

Earl Xenon carefully accepts it, then shakes his head as if he shouldn't.

“This can only be used once a month. You can use it to defend your city from enemy troops, but you cannot attack. ”

Hyun-Seok nodded as if he knew that much. He took out a large jewel.

It was a jewel with a red light hovering around it, but you can see that it was made by processing the stone in a special way.

“A cobblestone filled with the magic of fire. ”

Hyundai says so, pointing his finger at Inferno.

“Do you see the red line? ”

Xenon notices Inferno and nods. There were two unusual patterns painted on the bracelet with red lines.

“When it's full, you can use magic. ”

One was a gage of Inferno Arrow and the other a gage of Inferno Storm.

Both gauges are only half full.

Hyun-seok brings the fire marble to Inferno. Then the two gauges went up.

Earl Xenon looks at Inferno, the stall, and the marble in surprise.

“With one of these, you can fill it 20 times. Of course, after a while, the stable will be filled with fire Mana. ”

Earl Xenon opened his eyes young.

This can be done. Using this power, I was confident that I could put three cities under Croccolia without having to kill so many people.

“Then I'll leave it to you. ”

Hyun-seok left the message and left the room. The group catches up with you for a moment.

It's still nightfall, but the squadron leaves Crocchia.

Anyway, we don't have time to waste here anymore. I have already spent too much time here.

It was worth it, of course.

Regardless, Hyundai leads the group back out of the dungeon.
