The pillar flew out like a spear and struck the central fountain.
The central fountain, which stood as a landmark on the upper-class streets, had countless defensive magics installed, and had the defensive power to withstand two or three cannon shots.
Kwaaang!
It wasn't enough to withstand the pillar that contained the 'power' of the knight.
Kwajijijik!
The central fountain collapsed in an instant, literally shattered into pieces.
Perhaps because the fountain is often used as a place for first dates, confessions, or meetings, it must have been shocking for the residents of this street, and it brought tears to their eyes… -.
[[Keeeeeeee?]]
“Whoa!”
… The tears welled up, but what remained was disgust, and many people began to appear unable to hold back their nausea.
A monster, a monstrous one at that, poured out of the broken fountain, its appearance resembling a maggot.
Considering that the water in the fountain served as drinking water, it was not surprising that the residents felt nauseous.
But the sight is even more astonishing.
Crunch, crunch!
The giant maggots, whose identities had been discovered, began to swell and grow in an instant.
Things that were already extremely disgusting began to evolve into the form of flies, and in an instant, they grew from the size of a puppy to the size of a goat.
Chaeng! Chaeng!
You can tell that it is not a simple pest-type monster by the sound of metal clashing from its teeth and the poisonous smoke it emits.
At least an intermediate level monster.
And since there are over a hundred of them, the risk level is likely to be at its highest level… .
“-I said I wasn’t interested in you guys.”
Phew!
With a sound like a balloon popping, the monster turned into a handful of blood.
This is what happens every time a man's fist extends to the knight.
Phew…!
Smoke rising from the fist.
He didn't even maintain the usual posture of a regime leader, and just stood there with his fists extended in silence. However, more than ten fists were extended per second, and each time a shock wave erupted, causing people to feel their ears ringing.
Gyeoksan Tau.
The emanation of power called by such a name.
It must have been a technology bordering on mystery, but the knight who introduced it didn't even seem very impressed.
If it were until last year, I might have felt somewhat challenged, but now I don't feel threatened when facing an opponent like that.
Just because he grew up?
no.
'I've dealt with people like you in a sour way.'
experience.
An intangible asset that even Taechang can't see with his eyes.
The experiences that Lee Han had accumulated over the past year were rich, and he was able to intuitively understand their methods of dealing with things.
Those flies, for example.
'Things that need to be eliminated before they take flight.'
It's easy to deal with if they don't fly. The problem will be when they disperse.
He was a man who calculated the risks and how to deal with them in an instant, and he did not show much excitement about what he had accomplished.
instead.
“Now that you’ve seen it with your own eyes, you should know that this area is dangerous. There are monsters, but there are also many dangerous things.”
A mumbling that is so bland.
But strangely enough, there was no one who could not hear that voice.
Rather, it even feels like someone is talking in my ear.
Even when those who still could not accept reality were just blinking their eyes in a daze, his cool-headed advice continued.
“The evidence is right before your eyes. The monsters are overflowing. You were meant to be prey today.”
“…….”
“I advise you. Run away immediately. Take your carriage or whatever and get out of this street immediately. You don’t want to get caught up in something and die.”
“…This, this….”
“Explanation? I can give you one if you want to hear it. But, don’t say it’s my fault if you end up in the mouths of monsters while listening.”
“!?”
Kwaaaaah!
“Oh my, they keep coming out.”
"eww…!"
People ran away frantically with screams that felt like their throats were being torn apart, shouting, "Ahhhhh!"
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a complete mess, and I wonder if it would be this chaotic if a zombie outbreak like the one seen in the movies occurred.
In the meantime, orcs and fly-shaped monsters were seen pouring out from all over the building, and the people's screams had no time to die down.
The louder it gets, the louder it gets.
Common sense tells us that at this point, soldiers or knights should be active.
“This guy, how dare he!”
“Ugh!”
“Pierce through! I said pierce through!”
… is doing that over there.
The soldiers and knights were being captured and hunted by groups of monsters, orcs, and gnomes, and instead of being active, they were struggling.
It would probably be fortunate if they didn't even get wiped out, let alone stabilized.
By the way, it's not that they are incompetent or weak.
It was just average, but even so… .
'It's just right for our kids to stick together.'
Just because Lee Han wins easily doesn't mean the monsters are easy.
On the contrary, they were holding up well, and rather than helping them, Lee Han.
Phew!
I unleashed my power again as if I was doing my job, and each time, the monsters diminished.
“Go, thank you!”
“Eek!”
Those who had been saved from the danger of the demons began to slump down, perhaps because their legs had given out.
But instead of asking them affectionate questions, Lee Han…
“Where are you going?”
“Wh, what…?”
“You can’t go.”
“??”
It was a statement that made people tilt their heads in surprise, and those who felt doubt, or rather…
“Oh, that’s typical of parasites.”
Phew!
He swung an axe at the manager.
“Why, why!?!”
It was a scream of horror, a scream that seemed to imply that he had attacked his loyal caretaker, but he did not explain.
No, instead of explaining.
Swish.
“It looks like you’re wearing snow as decoration.”
He winked at me with scathing criticism.
As if telling me to look closely.
The nobleman's gaze turned to those words.
“………Who are you?”
─The manager's 'facial skin' was peeled off, revealing the opponent's 'new face'.
Thud… .
“…Oh, I got caught?”
“I told you, I found it.”
“I was confused. I thought I found those beasts, but I didn’t. People get confused.”
“…….”
“But when did you notice it?”
It was a strange question.
He seemed completely oblivious to the fact that his identity had been revealed.
Rather, he was an opponent who only expressed curiosity, and Lee Han.
Phew!
Phew!!
“…It’s dangerous, really. Are there really people like this?”
He just silently struck.
It seems like he has no intention of talking.
The man, who had easily avoided the fierce blow, immediately took off the cumbersome leather jacket he was wearing.
Chook.
“Hey, I thought it was a pretty useful disguise.”
“…Who is the owner of that face?”
“I don’t have any obligation to answer someone who doesn’t even answer my questions, do I?”
“No, I think you should answer.”
Phew!
If you want to die gracefully…!
Kwaaaaang!!
Lee Han's Gyeoksan Tau hit the central street area.
─It was an indiscriminate bombing of all parasites wearing the manager's skin.
* * *
It was only recently that I discovered that the Brass Knights were stationed in the central street, also known as the noble quarter.
How did you figure this out?
– It's the method of elimination.
– I searched the entire capital, but the only place where no suspicious people appeared was the central street. If it's not there, then it really isn't there, right?
Roen and Derek. This was the conclusion that these two boys came to after searching the royal capital with determination, and Lee Han decided to believe it.
If they are sure, there must be a reason.
At the same time, it is also absurd.
– It's a comedy just being there. I thought it wouldn't be that dangerous.
The Blood Crusaders, or the ones who most despised the pseudo-religion, were a group of nobles.
But you're mixed in with such a group of nobles?
What is this… .
– It's a waste to even swear.
– Then what are you going to do?
– huh?
– Can you give me a warning right now?
– … … Will that work?
– Yes, that's right.
Roen laughed bitterly, as if he thought it was ridiculous to ask such a question.
Yes, on the main street, no matter how much you warn the nobles that it is dangerous, they probably won't listen.
Because once they've made up their mind, they won't give up even if it means dying.
It may have been a bit of a pride, but isn't that what nobles are like?
Those who do not admit their mistakes until they die, or even after they die.
– You reap what you sow, even if you die. Got it. But you should write the official document yourself. It could be dangerous. It could be an excuse when you have to determine who is responsible later, and if something goes wrong even after doing all this… .
-They're going to sell them.
It was cruel, but Lee Han just shrugged his shoulders.
But this is something he cannot help but do.
Those who are risk-averse.
– Because they are the kind of people who only recognize a crisis when one comes.
“-Really, you didn’t prepare anything.”
Levy couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Even though they sent a warning letter in advance, there was no sign of preparation at all.
It is so disappointing to see the number of soldiers and knights, as well as the so-called upper class people who go out for walks and shopping.
Should I call that arrogant, or is it just… .
“Am I stupid?”
Crunch!
Levy pulled out the rapier that had been disguised as a staff and stabbed the monster in the neck in one stroke.
It was a clean, unhesitating stab, and Levy put his sword away and looked at the man he had saved.
“Madam, are you okay?”
“T, Tristan Youngae….”
“Just call me Levy. But run away. I can’t protect you forever.”
“I, I, I, I feel like my legs are giving out….”
“…….”
Levy wondered what on earth he had done to make his legs lose their strength, but he felt like sighing when he saw dozens of women who had lost their legs and could not escape.
really….
'What kind of confidence were these people playing with?'
Phew!
Swallowing back another sigh, Levy instead stabbed and cut down the monster with concise movements instead of getting angry.
At a time when you should be annoyed.
'I have to ease the burden on my master.'
Isn't this too much luggage?
Crunch!
… of no use.
It was the moment when the seed of distrust toward the nobility sprouted in the girl's heart.
