Chapter 565 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 51
When he realized that the underwear he was holding and sniffing was the underwear of an old man, Deok-gu groaned in disgust.
“Guweeeeek! Such old-fashioned underwear. Wow!”
Leaving behind Deok-gu, who continued to look uncomfortable even to the owner of the underwear, Noah looked at Do-jin.
“Dojin- how on earth did Dojin get here…? … ?”
“I came to look for you.”
“Um, me?”
“Yes, you.”
The moment Noah heard Dojin’s words, she felt her heart pounding. However, that feeling was not one that girls her age often felt.
The palpitation she felt at this moment was caused by a different emotion than that of her criminals.
“—My potion. “You said you were going to make it, but you jumped out.”
“Well, as expected… !”
It was a sense of debt. She feels indebted for not being able to keep her promise. Didn’t Do-jin come to see him for that reason?
Fortunately, Dojin had an excuse to come up with.
“But hey, I’m not late because I was kidnapped and wanted to be late for my appointment…” … Approximately! “I even made all the medicine!”
“Where is the medicine now?”
“… “The person who kidnapped me took everything.”
“I don’t have any medicine, and I can’t make it on time. “This was a complete liar.”
Dojin said with a grin. Of course, it was a thoughtless joke, but it was a remark that really hurt Noah’s pride.
Noah felt her scratches etched into his soul. She can’t even keep such a simple promise. She’s trash, not worth living… I fell into a cycle of depression that started with
“No, that, over there, I mean… “I’m sorry.”
“I’m kidding.”
“No… Because it’s true that I couldn’t keep my promise… I am a bastard. A bastard who can’t keep his promises and can’t even take his medicine…”
Seeing Noah being overly depressed, Do-jin realized that he had made a mistake. In times like this, Do-jin knew very well that the way to cheer her up was not to comfort her in vain, but to divert her words to another topic.
Just then, there was something right in front of her to change the subject. Dojin asked, pointing to the cauldron that Noah was struggling to stir.
“So? What is this? “What are you working so hard on?”
“—Ah! Right! Dojin! Be careful. “The people who kidnapped me-.”
“Have you finished preparing the medicine? Huh?”
Kkeikik-.
Excel, who opened the hidden door in the room and appeared, saw Dojin and his group camped out in the room and the gang members sprawled out on the floor, and felt that something had happened.
As a member of a criminal organization, Excel realized that Dojin’s group was not a security guard with his sharp eyesight and appeared in front of a grin.
“A guest arrived before I knew it.”
“That’s it! That person also drank the medicine I made-.”
“Huh-? What. “Do you think they can save you?”
As Excel said that, he took out two daggers from his waist and held them. He was so good at quick movements that he was called Excel of quick feet. He even has a record of slaughtering up to ten members of an opposing organization with two daggers.
After drinking the medicine Noah made, he became more awakened. To put it bluntly, he could now wipe out not just ten, but hundreds or even thousand members of the organization by himself.
Even if something that wasn’t a security guard and looked like adventurers at most came, they wouldn’t be able to catch up with them.
“—I’m sorry. “That’s impossible.”
The Excel immediately hit the ground and bounced off. His new brother disappears in an instant. When he next appeared, Excel appeared right in front of Dojin.
However, when Excel saw Do-jin’s eyes following his movements to the end, he realized that Do-jin’s reflexes were better than he thought.
‘I think my reflexes are good, but-!’
When he mixes in the footwork he learned at the Thieves Guild long ago, Excel’s body moves behind Dojin in an instant. Excel, who moved behind him, grinned and threw out his dagger.
Well then. A physical ability that cannot be grasped through things like reflexes. Technology added to it. There is no being that can avoid a surprise attack with these two!
“Huh?”
Suddenly-!
But the moment I thrust the dagger.
Excel realized that both his arms had been cut off.
While I looked at my arm rolling on the floor and let out a confused voice, this time my entire body fell forward.
“No, what is this-.”
“If you can beat everyone just by being fast, why would you learn swordsmanship?”
Dojin, who cut off Excel’s limbs, said so and led his sword. Only then did Excel realize that he had been cut by Dojin.
Even though it moved at a speed so fast that it could never be chased, it was an amazing feat that made it impossible to tell when it was cut.
Dojin finished by kicking Excel, who had fallen to the floor.
“Uh? “Aren’t you going to kill me?”
“… I’m not crazy about murder. Above all, killing is illegal.”
“It’s illegal. It’s already a crime the moment you break into the building.”
While Sayoung was laughing as if it was absurd, Dojin looked at the secret door that Excel had come through earlier and gestured.
From what I could see, the narrow streets were connected all the way. Dojin, who saw that, frowned slightly and looked back at the group.
“Sayoung, Rise. You two, please protect Noah here.”
“What about you?”
“I have to go in. “I heard that people inside here stole my things.”
“No, alone?”
“I’m going with Orion. If you are an ordinary person without magical powers, Orion is the right choice for you.”
Orion, who used elemental magic, was something that ordinary people without any magical power could never handle. Whether the opponent is 10,000 or 100 million, an ordinary person can be slaughtered with a snap of a finger!
In addition, Orion himself was from a special unit called the Elf Ranger, so he was perfect to be taken to a place where there might be some kind of trap.
“Hehe, it’s just the leader and I going on a date in a small place like this. “It has charm.”
“Please give me directions. Orion.”
“Yes. Come, spirit-.”
As the spirit rising from the ground advanced forward, crushing traps, etc., Dojin followed Orion and entered the secret space.
A secret space filled with a unique, musty smell hidden underground. Dojin frowned slightly and glared inside. In the distance, a magical light was shining brightly.
As we went deeper, dozens of men appeared, shaking as if under the influence of drugs. The floor was littered with glass bottles frequently used in the alchemist workshop where Noah worked.
‘That…’
Do-jin, who saw the bottle, realized that they were the criminals who kidnapped Noah and stole his medicine. And the choice Dojin made with the criminal in front of him was simple.
When she tapped Orion’s shoulder twice, Orion, who received her signal, nodded and moved her spirit.
There is no way that a criminal operating in such a dark place would have magical powers, so he would soon be subdued and lie on the ground. Dojin thought so.
“Ugh-?”
“Well, hey.”
“I’m taking medicine to make me feel better… Who are you-!?”
But surprisingly, the spirit could not subdue them. Rather, it only brought about results that stimulated those who were drunk on drugs.
Do-jin frowned slightly when he saw that. He has magical powers? Criminals wandering around in this shady place?
If it’s just one or two, that’s possible. However, it was not easy to believe that all criminals had knight-level or wizard-level magical power.
“─There it is!”
Do-jin, who had been caught for a moment while wondering, grabbed the hilt of his sword as he saw the members of the organization rushing towards him, fiercely shooting at him.
The speed is so fast that you can’t believe it’s an ordinary person. The medicine he asked for could have been medicine to treat wounds at best… I don’t know how the drug came to have this effect.
‘It’s fast, but-.’
However, even though he gained superhuman strength through medicine, his roots were ordinary people who distanced themselves from martial arts.
Losers in the back alleys who didn’t even think about or make efforts for better technology.
If humans forget technology and become obsessed with power, what can we call it? It is a beast, a monster, a monster.
And Dojin was an adventurer who specialized in hunting such beings.
“Come, you beasts.”
Dojin’s sword is pulled out.
To cut down humans who have become beasts.
* * *
“─Everybody stays still!”
The security team tracked down the culprit of the fire through their own route, and after finding out that it was the work of an organization called Hound Dog, they immediately invaded their base.
However, even though they were dispatched to the base so quickly—their base was already devastated. As if someone had hit me.
“What is this…?” …”
“Captain! “Someone is here!”
After hearing Daewon’s words, Ilone quickly headed there, where she found a group of women standing in the distance and looking at them.
Judging from his behavior, it seemed like he was not a member of this organization. Because he was dressed in precious clothes that looked just right.
“… “What about you?”
“Oh, what is it? Guards?”
“Yes. Captain of the 1st Battalion of the Guard. It’s called Ilone. “If you don’t mind, do you have anything that can identify you?”
“Here.”
Ilone was handed the hand that the other person had thrown away, and after checking it, she stiffened. Why are people who shouldn’t be in a place like this here?
“Special adventurer Sayoung… Yes, confirmed. But why are you here?”
“Should I even say that?”
“Illustration. “I asked something pointless.”
“… “My friend was kidnapped, so I came to find him.”
“Why didn’t you report it to security?” … ?”
“I did it. I heard they kicked it out because they didn’t have the manpower.”
After hearing Sayoung’s words, Ilone was the flagship. Could it be that something like that happened without your knowledge? Of course, it’s true that she’s been so busy lately that she doesn’t have any extra manpower, and it’s also true that she doesn’t like giving her preferential treatment because she’s a noble… Isn’t there such a thing as degree?
While I was resolving to give mental education as soon as I got back, a loud noise suddenly echoed throughout the building.
“Uh, huh-!?”
“It’s an earthquake!”
“Everyone gets under the table!”
While the security guards were making a fuss and making a fuss, Ilone was focused on the source of the vibration.
‘Under your feet… ?’
Kkeikik-.
A closed secret space opens.
The smell of blood, which I could not believe was royal, crept up on me.
