Marquis' Express Butler

187. Blackness (1)

Bang, bang!

I fired the gun with the penetration option turned on. We don't know who's hiding here. I had to put him as briefly as possible into incapacitation.

“Ugh!"

“Huff!”

Two men guarding the large cabin fell moaning.

The reason more and more people fall than the bullets fired is simple.

Eluna is shooting arrows mercilessly from my right. Thanks to you, the assassins who ran away are collapsing like windfall leaves.

“They're right behind you! ”

“We're surrounded! ”

“Spread out, everyone! ”

But they didn't get away easily.

Phew!

Uahhhhhh!

Screaming scents began behind the cabin. because Arthur and Chris were holding out.

We decided to press the enemy from both directions.

Out of the way, Eluna launches a ranged attack, killing enemies who flee or fall into chaos from behind.

It was a simple operation, but as Chris predicted, the enemy was in great turmoil.

It was natural.

My Mana Pistol and Eluna's Common Sense Archery were in remission.

It is not easy to avoid or prevent projectiles flying from dark places. No matter how many users come.

Even if I stop it, I feel anxious that I don't know when or where the enemy will attack.

However, he was unable to concentrate because he attacked with a special weapon.

Heave-ho!

You run out of ammo. I quickly rearrange and reload the magazine.

In the meantime, those hit by the defenses flee behind you.

But that wasn't a good choice.

Phew!

“Ugh... ”

The runners cut their throats or cut their hearts in half with their swords.

Arthurs, covered in blood, was holding out.

Whoo-hoo!

He was swinging his sword more intensely than ever before. He was longing for battle. The results of my training were clearly showing up while reducing my sleep.

Then the black shadow shifts toward Arthur.

Leaning back and looking ahead, I anticipated an ambush and pointed a gun at you.

Zec.

Later, the shadow rises, and the assailant in black reveals himself. In his hand are two sharp daggers.

I immediately aimed at the laser pointer and pulled the trigger.

Screaming!

It was too late.

A thin vein of blood drawn around the victim's neck eliminates the need to pull.

“Eh……. ”

His eyes widen. He no longer spoke, nor moved. Because the head was cut off and dropped to the floor.

And Chris showed up after his body collapsed.

Chris, who sheathed blood with his sword, warns you quietly.

“They specialize in hiding. You never know when you're going to get your head cut off. Pay particular attention to the coming shadow. They can hide in the shadows. ”

“Thank you for the good information! ”

Surprisingly well breathed. I don't think you need to worry anymore.

Chang!

He draws the drawn scepter into the sword, and Chris sneezes.

I took a moment to observe Chris' performance.

His sword rank was C, but he moved naturally without wasting his maneuver. So they were going up in synergy.

“When the Mana circuits come back to normal, it should be good power. ”

Even if you don't have to use magic, just stick Mana in the sword and swing it will help a lot. The sword and the Mana Sword are not the same.

Of course, it can be difficult to deal with Manat Sword if you are a highly trained error user, but Chris uses his head. That's enough if you can protect your own body.

The cabin is quiet, by the way.

“Enemies aren't coming out. What do you want to do?”

“Maybe if I set the fire, I'll crawl out on my own? ”

“Ah.”

Eluna stares at Arthurs, noticing his intentions.

“I have Mr. Arthurs. Would he be okay with that? ”

“Maybe I'll look around later. We can't keep it a secret forever. ”

Of course, I don't intend to fire any arrows. The Mana pistol is bent at your waist and your hands are free.

“Eluna. Take cover. ”

Eluna stood in front of me. Her livery arrows take the lives of her enemies without Enuri.

Now it's my turn.

I closed my eyes and began to make Demibeasts in my own way.

Whoo-hoo!

Mana looks up and starts placing beautiful numbers in the air. I gave Mana more power than usual. My heart thumps and bursts with dense Mana.

With particular attention, the fireballs to be completed will be larger and more destructive.

Glug glug!

After completing the Demibeast, I raised my hand and a huge fireball formed over it.

Usually about the size of a human head, but now it's about three or four times bigger. What a beautiful flame it is whenever I see it.

“Out of my way.”

Eluna dodges to the side, and I throw a ball of flame.

Kugu...

A ball of flame flew over the cabin, drawing a gentle trajectory.

Kuaaaaang!

Guaguava overload!

It is truly a great power.

The whole roof flew away, splashing debris everywhere, sweeping the surrounding enemies away. I think I got the unexpected grenade effect.

Screams erupt from everywhere, and an explosive cabin collapses into flames. The wood made me unable to catch a single flame.

“Was it too strong? ”

“You're a pretty good shot. ”

I feel like I can develop a more powerful fireball if the magic ramps up. Sizes are proportional to their power, so if you can make something that can only be harvested later, you'll be able to wipe out some areas.

I suddenly thought that the phenomenon of Mana dusk is really helping me a lot.

If it hadn't been for that, the Mado civilization would still be flying dogs or cows or fireballs.

“Let's get out of here.”

Me and Eluna walk out of the woods. Arthurs and Chris join us here, making sure the battle is over in the back.

“What was that? Why did the house explode? ”

“Looks like something exploded inside. ”

“That's odd. You got some oil in there. I don't smell it. However, some of them were missed, but most of them were taken care of. I don't think we should pursue them because they're dangerous. ”

Soon I'll have to tell Arthurs that I was actually Mana User. It's about making excuses.

“Completely destroyed, by the way. If it breaks like that, there won't be any survivors. ”

“You don't know that. ”

Heat-sensing skills were not helpful. It was because the cabin was already on fire and everything around it looked red.

But I could clearly feel it.

The subtle measure of error felt inside. There is no error in the dead. This is what I experienced when I was attacked earlier.

Then there are survivors inside.

“Huh? There... ”

Arthur points his finger at the cabin. There was an entrance, to be exact. Through the flames, two ingots walk out.

There were survivors, too.

If he's that healthy without being caught in the fireball blast, he must be pretty good.

I held the pistol in tension.

“That's quite a greeting. ”

It was a man's voice.

One of the two wearing black robes is a man and the other is a woman. Looks like the head of this place showed up.

The man said again, keeping a reasonable distance.

“Great job finding our hideout and setting it on fire. I'll compliment you."

“I'm the one I want to compliment. I don't know what tricks you're trying to pull on the Adeline family, but you've got some nerve. ”

“Was there a tomb without a story? ”

“What are you going to say? My mouth hurts. Fighting doesn't seem meaningful.Why don't you just put down your weapons and surrender? I'll make it easy for you. ”

“That's not going to happen. The real fight hasn't started yet. ”

I immediately pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang!

Three bullets fly away, but not one. The robed man shifts his body and dodges all the bullets.

I smiled slightly at the man's mouth.

“I take it that's your German weapon. Amazing, but terrible power. Looks like it'll only work on the scrawny ones. ”

“Do I need to tell you how lucky I am? ”

I have set the amount of Mana to 'River’.

Huff.

Can attack much faster and more powerful. There's also a penetration option there, so you can hit him if you hit him.

I aimed again and pulled the trigger.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

I poured it out cool with smoke.

Flash!

Immediately, the man's hand seems to be moving, and he starts drawing air with the dagger he just pulled out. All of these moves happened in a split second.

And then something amazing happened.

Tutu, tutu.

The bullet, cut in half, falls to the floor one by one. The man smashed the bullet I shot in half to disable the attack.

I didn't hit him with a single shot.

In other words, my Mana Pistol cannot scratch anyone.

I was thirsty for a pistol.

“But you're not just a mouth-blowing fool. I admit, what's your name? ”

“I don't think today's the day. I've waited 500 years, and I can't wait a few days. Next time, I'll know all your tricks. It's not gonna be easy next time. ”

“Where are you going! ”

I draw my sword. At the same time, Eluna put some weight on the bow, and Arthur and Chris took the sword.

I inject Mana into the blade and charge.

But I couldn't go any further.

Boom!

It was because the sudden burst of cloudy mist blocked the way. I tried to get through my vision late, but they were already gone.

“Bastards! ”

After collecting the sword, the fog scattered to all sides after a short while. You hear only the sound of the tree burning.

“Eluna. You and Arthus make sure there are survivors around." ”

“I understand.”

Me and Chris approached the cabin.

As I reach out and retrieve Mana, the blazing flame slowly begins to subside.

Arthurs thinks it's strange if you turn it off completely. He clears out the rubble and goes inside.

“I wish I had something to salvage. ”

“Here.”

Chris called me. A piece of paper was placed in the wreckage of the table. Only the bottom disappeared and the top remained intact.

“This... is my information, right? ”

“That's not all. You have information about Confucius Hamel and Sapiella. I think these three are targets. ”

“That's what I expected. ”

“What is anticipated and confirmed is heavenly. ”

Chris is right.

This data will be used as important evidence. I asked Chris to gather some data. He looked around and swept through everything that could be used as evidence.

“Dylan.”

That's when he called me. I think I found something while I was cleaning up the paperwork at the table.

Chris had something in his hand. With a meaningful look on his face, what he had in his hand was nothing more than a black star sign. It must have been on the desk.

“I think I know what they are. ”

Chris shakes the black star in his hand.

“His name is Black Dot. The Delfino clan's secret society. ”
