BXBX NOVEL Chapter 576: Reactionary (2)
Chapter 576: Reactionary (2)
The sidewall burst out with a booming sound.
As expected, an assassin had been sent to attack me. Considering that he rushed in as soon as I opened my mouth, it seemed that he was watching the situation of the room I was in.
‘These bastards are unbelievable…’
It was so ridiculous that laughter popped. It was because I recognized that I had been perfectly backstabbed.
‘I knew something was a little weird.’
The source of the use of the lost funds wasn’t precise.
It wasn’t until after everything blew out that I started to understand what happened.
It felt like the puzzle was well put together.
I thought that what Lee Jihye said, that if I dug a little more, evidence would inevitably come out, could be applied to the current situation.
If she were looking at the current situation, she would probably say that it was as she had guessed while bursting anger. Mikhail’s wife, whose actions were contrary to her disposition and unique characteristic, did her role amazingly.
In the first place, there would have been no intention of handling the protests. What the reactionaries wanted would have been to bring me to such a place.
‘And they succeeded.’
It was an attack operation that had been gathering power ever since a long time ago.
As Lee Jihye said, their plan was aimed at the loopholes of our system.
I might have noticed it if I had a little more time to pay attention to our surroundings, but there was no point in reflecting on it at the moment. It was undeniable that my back was tingly, and I was a guest who came to the place they wanted on my own.
I wasn’t too disconcerted, but it was still unpleasant.
“Mikhail, you son of a bitch … I thought you’re incompetent, but you’re a fucking competent bastard.’
Although I thought that if it weren’t for Park Deokgu, I wouldn’t even come in person…
‘No, this might be good.’
Wasn’t it significant that the timing of their trap to blow up was right at that moment?
Being able to get rid of the evil group right then was a good thing.
Had the reactionaries attacked after the other guy came back, they would have come out in a much more threatening manner than they currently did.
The three siblings were waiting for me outside, and if they realized that something had happened, they would immediately rush in, but in fact, I didn’t even need them.
“I will take you out.”
“Yes, let’s go.”
At the same time with the explosion, high-quality protective magic enveloped me.
Our cute guards, assembled in a dense formation, immediately prepared for battle and any potential threat. As expected, a group with weapons jumped out of the place where the explosion had occurred. Each of them confronted the guards.
It was hard to tell who was saying what because voices popped out from all sides.
“Kill them!”
“Kill them!”
“Prioritize the protection of Natalie and Mikhail.”
“We have secured their safety.”
‘Right, you bastards. What you reactionary bastards were hiding were these guys.’
I already expected one more surprise to pop out. However, when I saw the familiar face with my eyes, I had no choice but to smile.
In the meantime, I watched as the blood of the people who fell spilled.
It seemed that I was too cold even when I thought about it, but it was natural to react like that.
Since the 27th Corps kidnapped me, it was my safety that the lovely returner had been most concerned about.
The private guards, including Park Li-ahn, weren’t protecting me for no reason.
Their average age wasn’t very high, but they could make a name for themselves immediately if they all went out to the continent.
In particular, Park Li-ahn had enough power to aim for the top ranks even in the Blue Guild.
Would I even blink just because some puppies rushed in while I was among tigers?
Wasn’t the protection magic around me still maintained?
I got up, and when I started to move, I could see that a busily moving bodyguard surrounded me. Park Li-ahn, the twin-blades user, divided the giant sword in front of me in half and showed the sword skill she learned from Kim Hyunsung.
Others were also showing the best possible actions in their respective domains.
‘Gang Eun-hye stands out a bit.’
I frowned a little when I saw the reactionary bastards’ heads being cut in half in real-time, but not even a drop of blood could reach beyond the protective shield.
‘I already knew it, but…’
“Not bad.”
Certainly, the ride felt different when I tried it myself.
Their perfect movements and synergy made me realize how much training they endured in the past.
Of course, it was only natural that I also helped in the right place. Every time I flicked my finger, a giant dragon’s arm rose, crushing them or opening the path for me.
“Don’t miss them! Don’t let them go outside!”
“Kill them! It’s a fight for the future of the continent. You can’t let them escape!”
“Stop! Stop them!”
‘Fight for the continent, my ass… where did all these guys come from?’
“I’m sorry… Vice Guild Master.”
“No. You don’t have to think like that. I didn’t even notice it beforehand. How long will it take before we get outside?”
“We will… definitely try to open the road as quickly as possible.”
“Okay.”
“Dirty motherfucker! You’re a mass of cancer on this continent! This will be your grave. We will never forgive you.”
‘This bullsh*t again…’
If I could, I would say obscenities, but I knew I also had to take care of my reputation. I could use the situation to my advantage too. Of course, I had to vent out a little bit of my anger. I was human, after all.
“Anyone would think I’m the evil one. It’s obvious who’s disturbing the order of the continent. You can stop pretending to fight for an ideal and to be noble, remnants of the Republic. Who would have thought that the mercy and forgiveness once given would return in this way? It’s not an appropriate expression, but it must be because of this that they say not to have strangers in our house.”
“Sh… Shut up! You bastard!”
“I’m too soft… But I still want to applaud how united you are. Why did you come back again? I think I know why, but his death was beyond my control.”
“Don’t use that rotten mouth of yours to speak of his name! Dirty motherfucker!!”
“I gave you a chance because I knew the demon summoner brainwashed you. I’ll tell you again. Think about who the evil one is again, who the real demon is. You still can be saved, unlike Jin Qing.”
“You bastard!!!”
I didn’t know who I was talking to, but the voice of the man answering me kept coming to my ears.
Looking at the agitation at the insignificant provocation, it seemed that the short conversation was successful, but I felt that the offensive was intensifying.
‘Everyone wants the same. They have one will.’
“For Jin Qing! For the peace and security of the continent! Strike that dictator in the neck!”
“You must leave…”
Baaaaang!!
The roaring sound rang before Park Li-ann could finish saying.
‘Sigh… these assholes.’
It was a suicide command. They rushed in with explosive magic.
“Cast protection magic! There shouldn’t be even a single wound on the body of the Vice Guild Master!”
‘That’s right.’
Not because I didn’t want to feel the pain, but I really shouldn’t have other wounds on my body.
‘It’ll be trouble, bastards …’
Anxiety, which I hadn’t had before, suddenly emerged.
Who would have known that he would come by throwing his own life and throwing away the safety of other colleagues around him?
‘Ah, fuck, isn’t this getting too dangerous?’
I bit my lips tightly, and I sweated coldly.
Baaaaaannnnggg!!
“Please, take care of the rest, comrades of the Order. Please remember me!”
Baaaaaaaaannnggg!!
“Don’t forget our objective. Remember me!”
As the roar continued to erupt, damage began to accumulate even in the protective magic surrounding us.
Due to the sound of explosions and the rising smoke, it became difficult to get a good view.
It didn’t matter to me, but I began to see the guards’ confusion who were still in their positions.
“There is no need to panic. It won’t be able to reach us yet. Let’s keep moving. I think it would be better to go up.”
“Yes, sir. With the Vice Guild Master, we’ll go upwards.”
A roar burst out while I threw Dragon Breath potions and used alchemy summon magic continuously.
When I noticed the protection magic beginning to shake, I summoned the dragon’s arm and tail and blocked the bodyguards.
I didn’t know how long I would be able to withstand it, but at least I could make it until the three siblings arrived. No…
‘I can’t wait for outside help.’
The interior was already chaotic, but the situation inside might not be seen from the outside.
If they weren’t slow, they would notice and come, but I should also think about the possibility that no reinforcements would join us.
‘Did they really have to go this far? These bastards … Why does it feel like their numbers aren’t decreasing?’
We kept pushing them, but I couldn’t feel them losing their quantity.
The twin-blades user Park Li-ahn also looked like she felt the same.
It was then that a familiar voice erupted in the hall where I couldn’t even see one inch in front of me because of the smoke.
“It’s a high-rank undead.”
‘…’
It seemed that they had brought all the means that they had into the battle.
Their determination to complete the purpose until the end, even if it meant using the corpses of their fallen comrades, was a tad creepy. Even those caught in the explosion and turned into pieces were crawling towards and reaching out for me.
They were the enemy, but I even thought of wanting to praise them. It felt even more surprising as it seemed that they still had more hidden cards up their sleeves.
‘They’ve prepared a lot…’
At that point, there was no longer any justification. I could sense their evil intention to kill me at any cost. I spoke immediately.
“Even the dirty black wizards… I thought that the black wizards from the Republic were wiped out, but I guess this evil group remained in hiding. Is this your method? Are you really determined to walk the path of evil, too?”
“…”
“Aren’t you just like the demon summoner?”
“He is not a demon summoner, you filthy bastard!”
“Don’t listen to the enemy! Don’t get agitated and proceed as planned.”
“If the one who turns his subordinates into undead and uses them as meat shields is not a demon summoner, who would it be? Look at you. You’re no different from him. You cannot walk the same path as that ruthless and cruel man did… You can still change. Open your eyes!”
Even while I was saying those lines, I made sure my expression was as insolent as possible. The reaction I expected came right away.
“Don’t… Don’t utter his name with your dirty mouth!”
“Keep your composure! It’s a trap! A trap!! Don’t get caught in the provocation… My Queen!! Sh*t! Keep your positions! Don’t move!”
‘I guess I only caught one.’
Some woman rushed through the space covered with explosions with red eyes and a long sword, but Park Li-ahn blocked her. She blocked the sword with the left sword’s handle and then pushed her other sword into her opponent’s throat.
Pugh!
Blood splattered out. One of the people who seemed to have quite a formidable fighting power retired there.
‘It’s not enough for me to be damaged…’
However, when I smiled, thinking that I had made a small gain, I could see the woman with the blade in her neck pulling out the sword and rushing in again.
‘Fuck, what is that?’
She wasn’t undead.
Red eyes, different skin. She had an aura that I couldn’t think of as human. I could say it was a dangerous situation. After I saw her exact condition, I was able to find an answer right away.
‘These dirty demon contractors…’
“You even sold your soul…”
