Episode 193
193. Death’s Grip
“Very good.”
The First Warrior, who patted his head as if he were an obedient puppy, asked the traitor.
“What did you say your name was?”
“Ah, this is Kang Si-hyuk… … .”
“good. “I did as I was told, so you will be spared.”
“Thank you! Thank you… … .”
“Instead, stay here until the Black Scythe arrives.”
“yes?”
“There is no way for us to check whether you lied or not. “At least until the black scythe comes.”
I betrayed my unit commander because I couldn’t resist their threats, and now I have to face them in person.
Kang Si-hyuk, whose complexion was pale, continued to speak English with a stutter.
“Si, you said you would let me go if I did as I was told.”
“That’s why I’m still ordering it.”
“Woman, you probably heard it from the side. “It’s definitely a black scythe.”
“I don’t know Korean. “How do I know what you said and who you talked to?”
“This is different from the promise… … Argh!”
The First Warrior’s fingers pressed tightly to his knees.
I couldn’t move as if I was stuck in some kind of huge press machine.
It was an incredibly powerful grip.
“The little yellow monkey will do whatever it says, why is its tongue so long? Do you want me to never be able to walk again?”
“Khehehehehe… … .”
“If you don’t want to be killed by us, you have to sell your boss to survive. “Isn’t that the survival instinct and the monkey’s true mindset?”
“Ah, okay, I understand, I understand, so let go of this…” … “Wow!”
Instead of letting go of his knee, First Warrior’s large hand hit the back of Kang Si-hyuk’s head.
“You idiot. Tsk.”
He slung a greatsword as big as his body over his shoulder and looked back at his fellow 12 apostles.
“Have you contacted me?”
“I’ve called both teams, so they’ll come this way.”
“We should get there before the black scythe comes… … .”
First Warrior laughed at the worry of India’s No. 1 swingman.
“What are you so worried about? “When the black scythe comes, all we have to do is break its damn head first.”
“They say it’s a gentleman’s country, but their choice of words is very vulgar.”
“Who is it? “England is a country of gentlemen.”
“Are you confident? Level 90 won’t be easy, right?”
“I am the Sword Master. There is no bastard that I can’t kill with just one strike of my sword. “You killed the Minotaur with one hit?”
“Why hasn’t a guy like that even made it into the top 3 in the entire district?”
“Hmm, that’s because I’ve been too vague in my strategy so far. From now on, just wait and see. “Who will rise to the top spot in the rankings?”
Swingman just shook his head excitedly at the confident appearance of the First Warrior.
“Don’t do that, when the black scythe comes, we will talk to each other to save time. Until the rest of the apostles arrive. “I think it would be better since there are hostages, right?”
“What are you talking about? “Let’s share the pie that rolled in with the others?”
“Are you sure you can eat that pie? “It’s not a poisoned pie, is it?”
“The four of us can easily kill the Black Scythe? As I said, there are hostages.”
“That’s because they said it wouldn’t work.”
“So you said it would work?”
Kang Si-hyuk, who was watching the two people bickering, was startled when the First Warrior looked at him.
“Should I ask this bastard? Hey, yellow monkey. “If Black Scythe and I fight together, who do you think will win?”
“yes?”
“What are you asking? Don’t you understand English? Who do you think will win if they go 1-on-1? You wouldn’t know because you’re a member of the unit. “The skills of the unit commander.”
Of course I know.
Since we’ve been fighting since day one, the entire crew knows.
What a monster the unit commander is.
But now, in Kang Si-hyuk’s eyes, the giant in front of him was a monster.
Maybe that’s why I couldn’t speak honestly.
“Be honest, honestly.”
“Well, the black scythe… … .”
“… … .”
“… … is weaker than you think. “If you’re as good as you, you can probably win.”
“Look! Did you see it? They say it’s surprisingly weak. “Is that what I think too?”
“What are you asking this guy? “Can’t you see that this bastard is scared of you?”
“no no. You said it honestly. yes?”
“yes… … .”
The First Warrior’s hand rested on Kang Si-hyuk’s shoulder.
“The black scythe will come soon. “We’ll prepare for a surprise attack, so you can get some attention in the meantime.”
“yes? Me?”
“why? no?”
The hand holding my shoulder slowly gained strength.
Kang Si-hyuk quickly shook his head.
“Oh, no. Ha, I will.”
“Yes, that’s right. “Do you know what happens if you ask the Black Scythe for help or show signs of running away?”
The First Warrior ignorantly showed a large sword and threatened.
“I’m going to fall down with the black scythe right away. escape? If you think that’s possible against the four of us, you’re wrong. “I don’t know about you, but we are the top players in our country who took first place without any hesitation.”
“iced coffee… … .”
“So behave yourself well. “If you do your job well, I will let you live.”
“I really… … Are you really saving my life?”
“of course. Would it be difficult for us to release one of your little flies? “I promise that if everything goes well, I’ll let you live.”
“Well, then I understand.”
“Good good. “Then I’ll be looking forward to it.”
The First Warrior, who patted his shoulder, disappeared with his colleagues.
Everyone dispersed, took their positions, and waited for the black scythe to appear.
I waited like that for 5 minutes.
Unfamiliar footsteps were heard in the quiet alley.
It was the appearance of the black scythe.
“B-commander… … .”
“Kang Si-hyuk?”
The black scythe I hadn’t seen in a long time appeared wearing a white mask as usual.
Because of that, Kang Si-hyuk couldn’t tell that he was smiling bitterly under the mask.
“So, why did you ask me to meet you here?”
“S-s, I’ll consult with you… … “Because there is.”
“what?”
“Well, that…” … .”
Anyone who saw him would have been suspicious because he looked nervous and was sweating coldly.
Black Scythe quietly listened to his words.
Was that appearance rather suspicious?
“That bastard noticed.”
The First Warrior, who had been hiding, appeared first.
“Hey, you’re the Black Scythe, right? “I think it’s true, seeing as he’s holding a scythe.”
As he walked out with his greatsword in hand, the other apostles had no choice but to sigh as well.
The First Warrior, who stopped ten steps ahead, asked with a frown.
“Do you speak English?”
“… … .”
“Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know. Even if you can’t speak the words, you’ll get the feeling, right? “You’re f*cked now.”
“… … .”
“If you want to go without pain, just drop your weapon. Drop the weapon. Otherwise, I will kill you as painfully as possible. “I promise to my XX that I will torture you until you scream like a bitch and then kill you.”
Although it was openly provoked, the black scythe did not respond.
‘Look at this guy? Would you have understood this much? ‘Do you really not speak English?’
A frustrated sigh came from the First Warrior’s mouth.
The plan to excite the opponent and cloud his judgment went astray.
“Guys. “I can’t put it into words.”
Even though four men were approaching with weapons, Ryu Min calmly looked at Kang Si-hyuk and asked.
“Who are they? “Is he your friend?”
“Well, that…” … .”
At this moment, Kang Si-hyuk fell into the trouble of a lifetime.
Should he go straight to the black scythe and beg for his life, or should he hide behind the monsters that threatened him?
‘Will the unit commander forgive me? Oh, no. There’s no way that cold-blooded person would look at me. It might be better to side with those guys… … . But what if they can’t deal with the unit commander?’
I tried to weigh which of the two I should stick to to save my life, but I couldn’t get an easy answer.
“Can you explain what this is?”
“Well, that’s it, Commander… … .”
“Could it be that you lured me into a trap?”
Kang Si-hyuk’s head hung low.
“S-sorry. I have no shame, I had no choice if I wanted to survive. I’m so sorry, Commander… … . “Hmm.”
Kang Si-hyuk shed tears of repentance, but there was no change in Ryu Min’s voice.
“I’m sorry. “I’m more sorry.”
“Well… … yes?”
Ryumin’s scythe flashed like a flash.
Kang Si-hyuk’s head tilted and fell to the floor.
At the same time, the body of one of the 12 apostles behind him slipped and was cut off.
dump-
“There will be no pain.”
The rest of the apostles looked at him in horror.
fear.
The emotion they just felt was fear.
This was because Ryu Min’s title of slayer put more than a certain status on the witnesses.
Of course, I came to my senses after 3 seconds.
“Hey, that crazy bastard is a member of the same unit…” … .”
“What I killed was not a member of the unit, but a traitor.”
From the moment he made the decoy call, Kang Si-hyuk became a traitor.
Even if threatened, a traitor cannot be spared.
In accordance with that principle, he was summarily executed on the spot.
With the 12 apostles behind.
“You bastard, did you know how to speak English?”
“I never said I couldn’t do it.”
“… … .”
The First Warrior remained silent as if he was dumbfounded by Ryumin’s response, but was actually calming his shocked heart.
‘This bastard kills people without saying a word, damn it…’ … .’
Not only his fluent English skills, but more than anything, his sudden actions surprised him.
The other apostles’ hearts were pounding as well.
‘To mercilessly kill a member of the unit for betrayal…’ … .’
‘The plan to use her as a hostage went astray.’
His unstoppable judgment and cool-headedness felt scary, but there was something else that was scarier than anything else.
There was no indication at all when the attack occurred.
‘If I were behind that monkey, I might have been pinned down… … .’
Putting aside his colleagues who were thinking that way, the First Warrior approached.
The sword flag was already placed on the large great sword so that it could attack at any time.
“Wow, you just killed someone just because you made a threat as a joke. “I found out that the number one person in the rankings was a psycho?”
“Threat as a joke?”
Ryumin, under the mask, sneered out of his mouth.
“Did you think you could get away with it if you said that? “The 12 apostles?”
“… … .”
The expressions of the 12 apostles became as hard as stone.
I never told anyone, but it was only natural that I found out his identity.
“In the first place, rankers from all over the world came together to keep me in check and joined a ridiculous organization called Messiah, and it was just a joke? “A passing dog will laugh.”
“… … How did know?”
“That’s not what’s important right now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ryumin’s scythe extended like a whip and then returned.
Churrrrrruk – Tak!
One of the 12 apostles, who could not even see the weapon moving, fell with a hole in his stomach.
dump-
Colleagues were shocked as a body appeared in the blink of an eye.
First Warrior and Swingman, who had no time to react, swallowed their saliva.
‘Um, that’s number 1 in the rankings?’
‘It’s a monster. It’s an absolute monster.’
The two people, who saw the speed at which they could not respond, had no intention of fighting anymore.
All I could think about was that I had to get out of this place somehow.
“British sword master, first warrior. Indian martial artist, swingman. “Now it’s just you two left?”
“… … .”
“Why are you staying still? “Whether I fight or run away, I have to struggle, right?”
“What the f*ck!”
The first to leave was the First Warrior.
He jumped off the wall with agile movements that were not befitting of his large frame, and intended to escape to the roof of the building.
But thoughts remain just thoughts.
‘Death Grip.’
When Ryumin aimed his skill at the guy’s back, a black hand stretched out like a snake and wrapped around the First Warrior’s waist.
“Let go! “Let go!”
“Come on. “You should play with me.”
There was no trace of confidence on the face of the First Warrior who was being dragged.
All we see is a livestock being dragged to the slaughterhouse in fear.
Suddenly!
The head of the First Warrior, who was caught with a death grip, was cut off.
Meanwhile, the rest of the apostles, Swingman, ran away, but Ryumin was at his leisure.
Because there was no cooldown for Death Grip.
