Main Character Hides His Strength

87. Vengeance Blade (1)

At night, the harbor turns into a battlefield for the child.

Armed thugs, bandits, wizards without sticks and knights without shields. Summoners and Indigenous people.Various groups that are hard to distinguish from each other are hired for a handful of gold and die from meaningless fighting sacrifices.

Someone stands by the railing of the stairwell and walks through the door, watching the bloodshed unfolding in the middle of a locked market.

It was close to a perfect war, except that both forces were armed with wooden clubs instead of swords and spears, according to the boy's irrefutable rule that prohibited them from fighting among merchants.

One thought as he watched the two forces clamor into clubs, screaming.

‘Obviously, this is in the record. ’

Some looked at the final record - the only soul in sight - and found that a series of events that are currently occurring in the harbor matched the recorded history.

‘A power struggle between Governor Horneko and his target, Donald McGalley. Dirty street fights helped bring down the plutocratic capital... ’

Some know who the winner of this fight is.

‘Historically, Hornico was destined to lose all the districts, lose his position as governor, and stay in a small house and eat poisonous meals every day. ’

However, in the battle that is unfolding in the eyes of some people, the Hornico clan has dominated.

All the way to the square, as Donald McGally assembles the Hornico into the corner of the marketplace, reinforcements of the inner Hornico arrived.

As the steaming club started in all directions, the situation started leaning rapidly toward the Hornico clan.

‘This is not the history I know. ’

It was when I was thinking that. One of them turns around, feeling an unpleasant posture behind him.

“Hey, there. Miss."

Several thugs with clubs are closing in, smiling at someone.

“Why does a young woman wander alone on this dreadful night? ”

“Aren't you a prostitute? ”

“You look pretty good for a prostitute. ”

Poor qualities.

Seeing gossip from everywhere, someone turns to look around.

There is no one.

A lump of life is wrapped around the eyes of a man.

A man scoffs at her with a big smile.

“Lady Angaljin...”

Even before he finished speaking, some new stature disappeared instantly.

In the next moment, a single breeze rises and slashes everything.

A dozen men surrounding a dog rolled into corpses without even screaming.

“ ……. ”

The dog looks at the corpse with cold eyes and picks out a glass jar of red liquid from the spirit vault.

After opening the lid and sprinkling the red liquid, the body vanishes without a form, smoking up white smoke. All that's left is red blood.

The battle in the square was almost over when all the bodies were taken care of.

“Hail Governor Hornico! ”

“Glory to the Governor! ”

The shout of the crowd that dominated the square resounded high above the night sky.

Someone thought to himself, looking at the unusual turn of events.

‘Perhaps the Knights of Famine have won. As a result, it will be, but this flow is too fast. ’

I thought so, and I almost screamed at the second I turned back.

A man with a dark energy that he could not even sense was lurking in the darkness.

"Assassin"? He's pretty good. ’

Suddenly, a man in the darkness appears, breathing heavily and quietly.

The eyes of a living creature are wide open.

“Are you…? ”

He was dressed like a rag and badly shaved, but at a glance, one could recognize the mysterious man.

“Caz Almeira. ”

A colleague of mine from the Assassination Bridge.

He had been working with her for a while, acting as a senior.

until the enemies of the world emerged from the edge of the world.

“You've improved quite a bit. No. You're good in the Empire, aren't you? ”

At one time, the tentacles from the High Priestesses were hanging down, leaving nothing but empty sleeves on their severed arms.

“You. Why the sudden disappearance? Rumor has it the Assassins are after you. ”

“It doesn't really matter. ”

Caz smiles white.

“The important thing is that I have power. ”

“Power..? ”

In a short conversation, someone noticed that Caz Almeira had become a completely different person from the man he had known in the past.

This proves that the twisted frenzy that filled the pupils with scattered cruelty filled them.

“I now have the power to kill the enemies of the world. ”

Kaz said.

Someone stares at him with a expressionless face.

It doesn't sound empty.

The light of calculated certainty flourishes in frenzy.

“There's only one reason I came to see you. Don't touch Horneko. Regret. It's not time for him to die. ”

“… I'm just here to observe the enemies of the world. I have nothing to do with Hornico. ”

“Good for you, then. You'd better keep your eyes open. ”

Kaz melts into the darkness.

“Watching the world's enemies die by the blade of Caz Almeira...”

After disappearing into the darkness, he leaves nothing but a vain laugh.

“ ……. ”

The remaining dog stares at Kaz's disappearance for a while, and himself disappears into the darkness.

Where the two assassins disappeared, only the lost blood was left flowing down the water hole.

*

A week passed by in tranquility.

Things went smoothly.

Kim Sung-cheol has not only obtained the writings of a worthy god, but also a list of God's specialty dealers dispatched by Grizzly.

Grizzly told me that the writings of the gods would still be in their storehouses because of the loss of panos after the Ruettignia Kingdom was destroyed.

On the other hand, Hornico's promise was being fulfilled.

On behalf of Sung-cheol Kim, the aircraft carrying the flag of the League of Commerce set out to announce the new launch of the World Congress hosted by Sung-cheol Kim.

With a letter threatening Kim Sung-cheol to sweetly pay any penalty to the uninvited countries.

Now all I have to do is wait.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol was standing by the window staring at a branch with a bouquet of flowers.

The curtain of depression was thicker than usual, but hardly touched by his whole body.

Bertelkia was watching Kim Sung-cheol in the corner.

It was low pressure all week.

Everything was going smoothly, but Kim Sung-cheol was only in a supportive state.

Bertelkia knew why, but she didn't say anything. I don't think it's a problem for me to solve.

‘This is a problem that Kim Sung-cheol and Adelwhite will discuss directly to solve. ’

However, even so, Kim Sung-cheol's depression was too much.

Especially now that bad news is spreading all over the place.

“The empire finally draws its sword. The Empire has deployed eight fleets to declare war against the Emperor in unison. ”

Marrakia, one of the most popular guests in the kingdom of Nimpana, came into the room and reported the news she had just received to everyone.

“Really?"

Bertelgia is surprised and asks.

I'm actually not that surprised.

“Perhaps the schedule of the World Congress, which Hornuco had replaced, has become a variable. The Imperium doesn't want any easily handled insiders to attend the council. ”

Kim Sung-cheol, who was staring out the window, only glanced at Marrakia and didn't leave much behind.

“ ……. ”

He sees nature turning into a reckless eye like before, and puts himself in solitude.

“That man. What's the matter? You look stunned after going to the harbor. ”

Marakia, who had brought all the supplies, muttered with a smile.

Even Bertelgia did not look good with Kim Sung-cheol. What I thought we could do was let it go, and it even seemed to get worse over time.

‘Well, in the end, I have to say something. I hate it. ’

Bertelgia thinks so, and for a moment she stands in the way of her choice.

After a significant period of time, Bertelgia has firmly established a policy.

‘No matter what, I have to restore that strange sense of taste to its original state. I don't think I'll ever really be able to live with myself. ’

Bertelgia, who had a firm mind, flew to Kim Sung-cheol. The closer I got, the more I thought it wouldn't be easy.

Kim Sung-cheol's brilliant eyes were clearly showing that he wasn't in the mood to talk.

Nevertheless, Bertelgia had a unique positive thought and flew through the bookshelf right behind Kim Sung-cheol.

“Ahh… Ahem! ”

The sobbing cough rang behind Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes, who was looking at the branches with an unconscious eye, turned to his side.

“ ……. ”

But that's all.

Normally, he would have called out the name of Vertelgia, but now he looks forward again, thinking about when it might end.

We mustn't let it go.

To be honest, Bertelkia wondered if Kim Sung-cheol should be depressed.

I understand that you were shaking your statue in the case of Raise Heimer and Krea, but it was hard to convince you to take Adele White as a mere acquaintance.

‘People can make mistakes. You've done a lot of terrible things. ’

Bertelkia opens her mouth again, thinking like that.

“Hey!"

Kim Sung-cheol didn't even flinch.

Bertelkia felt strong naughtiness for Kim Sung-cheol, but continued to tell him not to lose.

“What are you crying about? Pull yourself together. ”

“Bertelkia.”

Kim Sung-cheol said in a lonely voice.

At that moment, Bertelkia finally expected Kim Sung-cheol's low pressure to be released, but soon his expectations were crushed.

“I want to be alone. ”

When she heard that, she felt more coming than disappointment.

“No, is that so important to you? ”

In the end, Bertelkia speaks impatiently and sharply.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes turned to his side and embedded Bertelgia in his pupil.

Immediately, a distinctive, bold voice rang out in the room.

“Bertelgia. I think you're mistaken. If this is about Adelwhite, I've forgotten about it for a long time. ”

“Then why are you doing this? Not a word for a week. Standing by the window, staring at a tree. You make me feel uncomfortable and so does that bird over there. ”

“I don't need to look at my eyes. Feel free to act free.If you really care, I'll ask King Nimpes himself for another room. ”

“That's not the problem. ”

Vertelgia growled in annoying voices, but Kim Sung-cheol didn't even flinch.

He sent Gekko Marrakia to separate Bertelkia and Marrakia.

“Are you sure? Fine... then do as you please! ”

Vertelgia is in a tight spot, but I can't help it.

He couldn't even think about it now.

“ ……. ”

I've forgotten all about Adele White for a long time, as he said.

But it eventually led to questions about a more fundamental problem that was completely different.

It's about Kim Sung-cheol himself.

Something important that he forgot or overlooked.

He looked at what has happened to him in the past week.

There was a lot of betrayal and a lot of disappointment.

I thought about the beginning and the end.

The start is clear and the motive is clear. The end is still unknown, but it will be decided in some way.

The problem is something that is lost in the middle.

Kim Sung-cheol stopped eating for a week to find something that was missing and pushed himself into deep agony.

It was meaningless to think about it calmly.

Spending valuable time looking for something that you don't even know what it is, that doesn't even have a very faint clue about.

But there is something.

A disdainful story about Adelwhite, whom I trusted so deeply, revealed a fragment of something that was buried deep in Kim Sung-cheol's consciousness.

Kim Sung-cheol felt compelled to explain what it was. It was unusual. However, Kim Sung-cheol felt a kind of mission in that he was so obsessed.

After such a long and meaningless chase, Kim Sung-cheol found a clue to find something in his status window.

It was in the blessings and stats window of each of his statuses.

In the first column of Kim Sung-cheol's blessing, there is the blessing as below.

[Blessings]

Commitment (unknown)

Similarly, his attention in the status window is shown below.

[Stats]

Charm 28 Luck 28

Usually, the promise does not appear anywhere with blessings and curses. If you look at Hornico's status window, his pledge will not appear.

The proof of the pact is in the heart.

However, the covenant of Kim Sung-cheol is written in the book of blessings.

Kim Sung-cheol thought it was a cursed force that stood in front of the stairs leading to God and commanded disaster resolution in return. I have nothing else to think about.

However, Sung-cheol was caught up in doubts that there was something hidden in the pact that he didn't even know about.

As a result of that evidence, Kim Sung-cheol noticed a stat he was taking for granted at some point, an oddly low charm and low luck.

‘Maybe I don't remember the whole story in front of God? ’

Kim Sung-cheol calmly tried to remember what happened at the end of God's staircase.

However, the next moment, Kim Sung-cheol felt like he had been hit in the back with a hammer.

“Oh, my...”

I have memories that are clear enough to be remembered anytime, anywhere.

But it's not a unified memory.

It was embedded throughout the consciousness in several pieces, like a fragment.

I didn't even think about it.

I couldn't find them because they were so sharp and sharp.

But now I know.

The fact that his memory is incomplete.

At the next moment, Kim Sung-cheol could hear a faint voice coming from a distance in consciousness, like magic.

“… the reason you were able to climb all the way up the stairs was never because you excelled. ”

The story continued, but more than that, it became too vague to understand.

Kim Sung-cheol was confident in the shock and shock.

That faint voice is the connection of his lost memories.

"What was I... talking about there...?" ’

The thought didn't last long.

The sharp no-ho castle that resounded outside attracted Kim Sung-cheol's attention.

Feeling strong fatigue, Kim Sung-cheol looked down the window.

The King and Queen of Nirvas.

A couple, never to be seen as exemplary, was confronting each other in the courtyard in front of the palace.

“What the... what the hell! What is all this? ”

The king is screaming for the queen.

With a letter with a gorgeous engraving of gold.

“Er... how could you do that to me! ”
