< Chapter 57 - Log Master #2 (Revised) >

Lloyd, a 23-year-old young man working in the Royal Guard, stared blankly at the night sky.
I had no choice but to do that.
Moonlight pouring down across the night sky.
An angel descended through the gap between the roof and the curtain.
A real angel, not a metaphor.
A beautiful, dreamlike woman with wings of light spread wide, a fantasy-like beauty.
Therefore, the 40 royal guards including Lloyd, 30 private guards of Count Macan, and 30 armed men dispatched from the Black Moon looked at the angel in a daze as if they had made a promise.
None of them thought to sound the alarm or scream.
Just a few seconds like that.
The angel who finally settled on the roof had a bright smile on her face, and although half of her face was hidden by the black butterfly mask, Lloyd blushed without realizing it and made an ecstatic expression.
And it wasn’t just Lloyd.
Everyone present, regardless of age or gender, was momentarily entranced by the angel’s beauty.
‘What the heck, why are they like that?’
Rather, Cordelia blinked in embarrassment, but the only one who could answer was Uther, who was hugging Cordelia from behind and could not make eye contact.
So instead of thinking long and hard, Cordelia decided to just act.
“Lulupi, Lulupan.”
Cordelia spread her arms wide, reciting the strange spell that Uther had taught her, and instead of turning into an angel, she turned into a witch. Using her telekinesis, she scattered a dozen sticks of pink dynamite into the air.
Flying dynamite.
Only then did Lloyd and the guards come to their senses.
“uh.”
“ah?”
“ah?!”
A belated scream erupted, but it was too late. Cordelia smiled brightly and uttered her last spell.
“Lulu~ Yapp!”
And the flicking fingers.
Dynamites ignited simultaneously.
“damage!”
“Get down!”
Several of the royal guards who were standing guard at the mansion of the first victim, Count Venus, shouted like thunder. And then the sound of real thunder drowned out all their shouts.
Kwagagagagagagagagang!
A series of explosive sounds were connected into one.
Pink smoke engulfed the entire Count Macan’s mansion.
And then bang again.
This time, it was not dynamite, but Yuder’s own hands that created the loud noise!
Kwagagagagagagak-!
When Yuder’s sword struck the roof, dozens of cracks appeared, like spiderwebs.
Cordelia jumped upright, and Uther clenched his fist. He swung his fist towards the center of the crack!
bang!
There was a loud noise.
The crack opened up into a three-meter-diameter hole in the roof, and it didn’t stop there.
The black dragon’s energy extended from Uder’s fist and broke through the fourth floor.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
3rd floor, 2nd floor, 1st floor!
As the black dragon’s energy broke through the floor, Uder and Cordelia passed the fourth floor and settled on the third floor.
Without saying a word, everyone raised their heads and smiled brightly.
“hello?”
“Nice to meet you.”
Those standing on the third floor.
A typical pot-bellied nobleman dressed in very luxurious clothes and nine knights with fancy weapons.
“Catch him!”
Potbelly- Perhaps Count Macan shouted, and the knights drew their swords at once. Then Juder unleashed a golden whirlwind.
The twenty-four steps of the whirlwind.
A whirlwind of change.
bang!
Uder is gone.
A gale swept through the knights, and the sound of thunder filled the room.
Quagaga River!
Brain attack.
Seven knights fell in a lightning-like seven-strike series. The two remaining knights were unable to respond properly to the scene that happened so quickly, and Yuder disappeared once again. In an instant, he took over the knights’ backs and continued to attack them.
“Cough!”
The two knights collapsed before they could even scream properly.
Count Macan was so surprised that he yelped and stepped back, and Cordelia opened the door with her telekinesis.
I threw the dynamite down the large hallway and saw the guards stationed beyond it.
And Lulu Yap.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Unlike the existing ones which were practically smoke bombs, these were dynamites with real explosive power.
The terrifying force of the explosion caused the ceiling and walls of the hallway to collapse, isolating Count Macan’s room from the rest of the mansion.
“Problem solving.”
Now that there are no hallways, reinforcements will no longer come through the hallways.
A satisfied Cordelia stood up and made a V sign, and Uther realized once again that Cordelia was right.
“It’s a real log. Not a ship.”
Armed robbery.
No, at this point, aren’t they terrorists?
“Hello, Count Macan.”
“Eek! Hick!”
As Cordelia waved her hand in greeting, Count Macan, who had been retreating, sat down in his seat. Then, Uder spoke.
“It’s fake.”
“yes?”
An actor pretending to be Count Macan.
The real Count Macan was somewhere else, and Yuder knew where.
“Praise Utherwiki.”
As Cordelia spoke nicely, Uther chuckled and then struck the trembling fake Count Macan in the stomach, knocking him unconscious.
“See you later.”
“Take care.”
“You are the one.”
Yuder grinned and threw himself out the window, carrying the fake Count Macan on his shoulder.
It was to give Cordelia enough time.
“The Count has been kidnapped!”
“Catch him!”
“Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow!”
Cordelia ignored the loud noise outside the window and manipulated the books on the bookshelf as Uther had instructed.
If you pull the red book at the top, and then pull the blue book in the middle again –
“bingo.”
As Cordelia, who had begun to imitate Yuder’s way of speaking, took a step back, the bookshelf opened with a mechanical creaking sound and a secret door appeared.
“Count Macan! I have come to receive the goods as announced!”
Cordelia shouted loudly inward and took a step forward. As soon as she stepped into the darkness, she gave in to her instincts.
A whirlwind.
The Bayer family’s secret recipe learned from Uder.
Cordelia’s body tilted to the side as if she was about to collapse, but then she moved like the wind. She dodged the swords pouring down from above her head with great ease, and at the same time pulled out the sword blade from her waist and threw it.
Crunch!
The blade moved like a living snake, wrapping itself around the neck and chest of the man who had struck with the sword.
Perhaps the Black Moon Assassin.
He, clad in black cloak, moved his hands to rip out the detonator, and Cordelia shook her head after pushing the man away with her telekinesis. She pulled out a short detonator and threw it wide so that the fallen man could see it clearly, casting a spell of ignition.
Tsukwaang!
A blast line exploded in mid-air.
The firepower wasn’t that strong, but it was still an explosion.
Cordelia looked at the slash line that wrapped around the man’s neck and chest, and the man understood. He quietly put down his sword and banged his head against the wall, passing out.
“I like smart men.”
Cordelia spoke softly and threw the explosive line as she spun around.
Clang-!
A living snake.
A slingshot that cut through the air swung around the neck of a man who was trying to ambush her by jumping down from above, and Cordelia pulled the slingshot back, throwing the man to the ground.
And then another wink.
bang!
The man fell unconscious, his head on the floor, and Cordelia began to think about training the Black Moon’s assassins.
But that only lasts for a moment.
The last secret door at the end of the secret passage opened wide, revealing a large man.
“Koooo!”
The man who had shouted loudly rushed at Cordelia as if nothing had happened, and Cordelia hurriedly tried to pull out a new fuse, but the man’s movements were faster than she had expected.
In an instant, he lowered his posture as if crawling on the floor and attempted a powerful tackle towards Cordelia’s slender waist.
bang!
The man crashed into the wall with a terrible noise.
If everything had gone as planned, Cordelia would have screamed and vomited blood while stuck between the man and the wall, but that didn’t happen.
“Who are you going to hug!”
Cordelia dodged the man’s tackle with her fairy footsteps, spun around, and used Echo of the Spell and Double Casting simultaneously to fire her magic.
“4 consecutive freezes!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two freezes exploded on each leg, gluing the man’s feet to the floor.
Even though this alone was enough to completely block the man’s movements, Cordelia did not let her guard down.
Although he had a very disgusted expression on his face, he had no choice but to clench his fist and apply telekinesis to a specific part of the man.
“Kwaaak!”
A place where no amount of training can improve your defenses.
The man fainted with a single scream, and Cordelia, with a very disgusted look on her face, wiped her hands on her clothes and entered the secret door.
“Hello, Count Macan. I am Log Master Pink Bomb.”
When Cordelia gently grabbed the hem of his skirt to show her respect, the real Count Macan took a step back and swore.
“Log Master, you piece of shit! What kind of thief are you! You’re a bomb master!”
“Well, actually, I like that one better.”
Cordelia shrugged and threw the detonator with her hand. This time, the detonator, powered by telekinesis, restrained Count Macan like a living snake.
“Ugh! Do you know who’s behind me?! The Lord Protector will never forgive you!”
“Yes, yes, I guess so.”
“Hey you bitch! Do you think I’m funny?!”
“Um… Since I know roughly where everything is anyway, there’s no need to wake me up, right?”
“What?”
Instead of answering, Cordelia kicked Count Macan there, and he fainted without even being able to scream properly.
“Um… Anyway, problem solved.”
It was a bit unsettling, but the problem was solved.
Cordelia shrugged her shoulders again and began to pack the necessary items into her expansion pouch.
Artworks and dangerous drugs known to have been stolen and disappeared.
And even a secret ledger written by Count Macan himself.
‘You said this was the most important thing?’
To be honest, it was a ledger that I wondered where and how it would be used, but this was Yuder’s specialty.
I’ll take care of it.
“Then shall we leave now?”
Cordelia shook his hand lightly, packed her bag, and left the secret room.
Judging from the loud noises outside the window, it seemed like Yuder was doing well.
‘I have to join quickly.’
Because there was a chance that Yuder might have made a mistake and gotten hurt.
Cordelia, who was a little anxious, spread her angel wings and flew up, and in one breath, she emerged from the fourth floor roof and looked down at the ground.
The fake Count Macan was hanging on the wall like laundry, and most of the guards were gathered on the wall side.
And the pitch-black wind blowing behind my back.
“Are you here?”
“Oh, you’re here.”
Cordelia, feeling a strange sense of relief along with the thought that she had worried for nothing, immediately took out the moon crystal.
“I will take Count Macan’s treasures!”
As if in response to Cordelia’s shout, Uder took out several pictures from his bag and spread them out.
These were treasures that had been announced in the preview.
“Thank you, Selene, for allowing me to become a righteous thief.”
Uther and Cordelia simultaneously gave a theatrical performance, while the moonlight poured down from the sky like a spotlight.
If it disappears with the moonlight, the mission will be cleared.
Log Master’s second activity was also a great success.
But it was at that very moment.
Cordelia suddenly turned her head to the side. Uther also noticed it a little late. He looked at the same place as Cordelia, and at that moment, iron shards flew in with snake-like movements.
That moment.
Cordelia had a gut feeling.
Uder calculated.
So instead of relying on Moon Crystal’s space jump, the two took action.
Tsukahak!
Cordelia used her telekinesis to twist the iron shard’s orbit.
But the speed at which the iron pieces flew was too fast and their power was too strong. It couldn’t be completely twisted.
But it was enough. Uther stepped forward as he wrapped his arms around Cordelia’s waist and pulled her forward. The trajectory of the iron pieces, which had already been somewhat twisted by the black dragon’s outburst, was further shaken.
Kakang!
The end of the iron piece hit the roof.
The roof shattered as a red aura exploded due to the strong energy, and Cordelia saw the owner of the iron sword – a very long sword.
A beautiful woman with blood-red hair.
Cordelia knew her.
Uther was like that too.
“Scarlett?!”
One of the four great prosecutors of the future.
The great-granddaughter of the fifth Log Master, who aims to become the current Log Master, and a fierce enemy in the mid-to-late game who will eventually end up in conflict no matter which route she takes!
She kicked the ground.
With the help of the Log Master’s secret weapon, the Wings of Swiftness, he closed the distance as if at lightning speed.
And then Yuder stepped forward. Instead of attacking or flying, he used one of his Ultimate Sun Power moves.
“Solar sphere!”
Although there was an official name for it, Uder called it that for now, and the effect was certain.
In an instant, a bright light emanated from Uder’s forehead.
It was so strong that even the guards watching from afar lost their eyesight for a moment.
“evil!”
Scarlett, who was struck by the light from the front and at such close range, screamed and rolled around on the roof.
Immediately after.
Uder thought.
Why is Scarlett here now?
Wasn’t she in the empire now?
And why did they attack them?
Could it be the emergence of a new Log Master that has stimulated her?
Either way, it was a later matter.
This wasn’t something we needed to discuss right now.
“Don’t run away!”
Scarlett stood up with a loud cry. She opened her eyes as if she had cast some kind of magic and looked straight ahead. She met Uther’s eyes.
Not Uther and Cordelia, but Uther and Mal.
“Don’t run away.”
A voice heard from close range immediately after opening my eyes.
Scarlett flinched and quickly turned around, but it was too late.
Cordelia, who had stepped on the whirlwind and was behind Scarlett, wrapped her dagger around her neck and whispered once more.
“Why are you running away?”
We are stronger.
You’re saying you’ll be a prosecutor in the future, but you’re not a prosecutor now.
Moreover, it is a chance to obtain the remaining secrets of the Log Master!
Cordelia looked into Scarlett’s red eyes with her blue ones and smiled. She pulled the trigger and squeezed Scarlett’s body.
