Chapter 248 – 248. Don’t Be Intoxicated by Continued Victories
New York Stewart International Airport.
Arriving there was the Elementalist McKline, Swordswoman Becky, and Ranger class Tony.
The three headed to the airport, trusting only one chirashi from the day the Eastern US camp collapsed by Jang Jo-jun’s hand. After a few days of walking and walking to a place that wasn’t a road like that, I finally arrived at the international airport.
It was because I had heard on the radio that there was a plane that could take us to Europe. Of course, it wasn’t very reliable, but the only corner the three of them leaned on was the radio content Tony had heard, so they had no choice but to move forward.
Yes, they had come all the way here blindly, believing only the vague information that flowed from the radio.
Maybe it was a trap for outlaws. It could have been to kill people to steal resources and easily level up. Still, they did not give up hope. It was because it seemed that if I let go of my last remaining hope, I wouldn’t be able to move anymore.
“I barely… Barely arrived…”
“Klein.. Uhhh..”
“Becky…Don’t cry…”
Becky and McLean hugged each other and wept. The two crossed the line of fire several times on the way to this point.
The evolutionary zombies scattered everywhere and the skeletons roaming the streets were fear itself for the two of them. Still, the two of them had risen to level 14, probably because they had caught and killed countless undead on the way here.
More than that was the area where they had to catch the field boss, so up to level 14 was their limit.
“Both of you aren’t over yet… Get your mind right.”
“Ah.. Yes..”
“Sigh. Okay… Let’s go..”
Tony looked around and pointed at the chicken couple. He acted as a babysitter for the two of them while they got here. He also bullied Mech Cline, who was only level 5, several times and made him act like a human being.
To Becky and Mackline, Tony was a cranky old man and a lifesaver. The bond between the three was strong. Like it will never break
“I can feel the presence of people from the inside. Probably over there Let’s go.”
“Yes, mister, hold on.”
Becky pulled out a cutter that could break the barbed wire from her bag and handed it to Tony. Tony skillfully used the cutter to rip off one of the barbed wire fences surrounding the airport, leaving a hole large enough for a person to walk through.
“I’ll go in first…”
“Yes..”
The three of them lowered their waists and went inside the airport facility. There were several planes abandoned on the large runway.
“Shh.. Over there.. There is a person.”
“Ah, yes…”
Soon, the three of them found people chattering in front of the private jet. It was a woman in a night gown and three men in robes. Tony activated his hearing enhancement and overheard the conversation of those chatting away.
“Everyone who was going to get out of there got out.”
Hehe… Is that so? So, is the mission complete now?”
“Yes, Mansengnomo will give you a reasonable reward in the future..”
Hehe… Hehe… Finally… I will be able to meet that bastard who ran away with the witch parasite planted in my body… My damn little prince… I will thoroughly destroy it… I will never dare to do it again. Don’t let me run away…”
A woman who suddenly bursts into madness. No matter how you look at it, he wasn’t a normal human being. In the first place, it was difficult for her to see that she and the three people she was talking to were also human beings. She was hidden in a robe, but her ears were unusually long and her skin was darker than that of a black man. Even though she clearly looks white.
‘What is it.. To destroy the prince..? That… Looks like a crazy bitch… And those guys… Just look like dark elves…’
Tony thought that if he did something wrong, he might be caught and killed by crazy outlaws.
‘As expected, the radio was… Fake… Damn it…’
If they foolishly got this far because they stumbled upon the information they were trying to fool someone else, they had to get out as quickly as possible before they got caught by their enemies. It was because it was clear that he would not be able to die normally if he snooped around and accidentally fired a spark.
“Meg, Becky. You have to step back.”
“What..?”
“This was a trap… We need to get out of here quickly…”
Tony couldn’t speak any more. Because someone came up behind them. It was a bald Asian man wearing a suit and a polar tee.
“What are you? I doubt it. I’ll do some checks.”
The Asian man in sunglasses growled, glaring at Becky, McClain, and Tony disapprovingly. This is a very sensitive time. Outsiders who were not properly identified were the target of vigilance.
It was because they did not know that they might be the subordinates of the heretics threatening the life of their precious master.
“This, this…!”
“I’m sorry…!”
Becky immediately tried to pull out the two machetes strapped to her waist. Mackline tried to summon Ifrit, the intermediate spirit he had recently contracted with, and hurriedly put his hand through Tony’s front forehand to throw the dagger in his bosom.
-Pang…
“I’m sorry..”
“Aaah!!!”
“Be, becky!!!”
However, the three couldn’t move any further. It was because sharp gifts were wrapped around their necks before they knew it. Even ignoring it, Becky, who tried to forcefully move, cut his throat slightly and blood flowed out.
It was clear that if he moved at will, his body would be sliced.
“If you don’t want both of us to die, don’t move on your own. And drop your weapon immediately. You have not been interrogated yet.”
The bald Asian issued a final warning. When Tony realized he was out of luck, he dropped the dagger he was holding onto the floor. Seeing that, Meg Cline canceled his skill and scattered his mana, and Becky also frowned and let go of the machete she was holding.
At that time, the woman who was talking with the three Dark Elves shouted at the bald Asian.
“Hongya!! What happened!!”
“The rats are hiding. Please have them inspected immediately.”
“Is it so? Please release me at once!”
“Yes. All right, lady… Whoa.”
At the cry of Mei Ling, a Chinese-American woman, Hong Ya untied the gifts that bound Tony and his party. Soon, Meiling came toward Tony and the others standing awkwardly.
“Did you guys come here listening to the radio?”
“Yes.. That’s right. Just because I can run away to Europe…”
“Okay..? Whoops. Maybe this is good The last flight left this morning. Now there are no planes coming and going except for the private plane over there. And that’s because we’re going to ride. Is it possible to fly a separate plane?”
“Ah.. No..”
“Then it’s a pity.”
“This… This…”
Unfortunately or fortunately, the contents of the radio were true. There really was an opportunity to escape to Europe. However, they were too late. There was no other way to get out of America.
‘Shit…’
Tony thought the fact that they were one step late and missed the last train was more terrifying than the fact that they weren’t enemies.
“Rather than that, you guys should get checked first.”
“Yes? No, what the hell did you mean by being interrogated from a while ago…”
Tony’s question was soon answered. In the distance, a huge muscular black man who could be 190 cm was bringing something.
-Thud!
What he brought was the stump of an unknown tree.
“Come on, sit on this.”
“Yes..? Ah, no… What the hell is that checkpoint? Why… Are you asking me to sit at the base of the tree…”
“Hmm.. This is a means to find out whether or not the ‘slave brand’ has been stamped on your foreheads.”
“Yes…? The mark of a slave…?”
“Yeah.. There are people who really like to stamp people’s foreheads. If you guys are servants of that human… It will be hard to go back alive.”
Mei Ling smiles sinisterly. Tony felt her laughter creepy for some reason.
I wanted to get out of here right away, but I couldn’t even dare to resist. They were already under siege. The Ranger’s high spirits were telling. The fact that Awakeners hidden everywhere are drawing daggers and preparing to attack them at any time…
Even a man named Hongya was looking at them with sad eyes.
‘I don’t know what the hell that slave’s brand is…’
Can’t back down Tony sat at the base of a tree, hoping he wouldn’t have that weird stamp on his forehead.
– Ugh…
Soon, a green glow emanated from the root of the tree and informed Meiling of the test results.
[Signs of corruption not detected.]
[Not branded as a slave.]
[Has nothing to do with Manma.]
“Not a demon contractor. There is no slave label. It’s not from Manmajeon.. It’s very clean!! Next!”
Tony couldn’t understand Mei Ling’s words, but he let out a deep sigh, relieved at the fact that he survived.
“I’ll do it first…”
“Klein..”
“Are you okay. I have a bandage around my neck.”
Leaving behind Becky, who had been decapitated by the silver thread that Hongya had wrapped around her, Mackline sat first at the base of the tree.
Soon, a group of lights emanated from the root connected to the World Tree once again.
[Signs of corruption not detected.]
[Not branded as a slave.]
McLean followed a similar path as Tony. Mei Ling nodded and checked the final test results.
“Hmm. Good. Good.”
[Find the traces of Manma.]
“Huh?”
Meiling, who was checking the test results for a moment, distorted. Immediately, those in hiding thrust knives into McLain’s throat.
“Wow..!”
“Hey. What are you. Why did you say that there are traces of Manma? Hey! Musta!”
The black man with the trunk of the tree put on a mask pulled from his pocket and stood in front of McKlein, who was sitting there.
“Start the interrogation.”
“…”
At Mei Ling’s command, a black man, Mustang nodded his head without saying anything and then thrust his finger into McKlein’s thigh.
“Kuaaaaa”
“Meg!!! Let go of Tony!!! Let the fuck go!!!”
“Calm down Becky!!!”
Tony stopped Becky, thinking that if a fight broke out, everyone would die. Becky went mad when the thick finger of some crazy black guy got stuck in her boyfriend’s thigh.
Of course, McKlein, the person who had his finger stuck directly, was the most insane.
Anyway, Mustang, the heretic inquisitor, asked McLaine in a calm voice.
“Keuheugh…”
“Hey, answer the question straight. Depending on the answer, a summary judgment may be issued.”
“Keuheugh… Yes… Ah, I see…”
“What is the class?”
“I am a Elementalist… An Elementalist…
“I am not lying. Mayling. The Elemental Commander is a class belonging to Mangwijeon.”
“Okay? Then why did the traces of ten thousand horses appear?”
“Turn it off … I do not know …”
“Hmm… It’s difficult.”
McKlein howled in pain and rolled his head desperately. He wondered why he was left with traces of manma or something, and he thought again. Then he wondered if he might have traces of the guys who raided the eastern camp.
“Ah.. That… That…”
McLean told Mei Ling and her colleagues the whole story of arriving at Stewart International Airport.
“I see… Mustang. Are all those words true?”
“Yes, everything is true.”
“Huh…”
When all was said and done, Mustang pulled her finger out of Meg Klein’s thigh. Mustang wiped the blood from her fingers with a towel and healed Meg Klein’s punctured thigh.
“Hmm… Yes… That’s right…”
Mei Ling, who was listening to her story, stroked her chin.
“There.. That human was there..? This… It was fucking close. Damn old mother… She was in close proximity… But she didn’t tell me on purpose… She’s like a suspicious and sinister snake..”
Meiling insulted the World Tree as a snake and gnashed her teeth. Even though the enemy he had been searching for so long was within reach of him if he fell, the World Tree hid that information.
Perhaps she didn’t want to lose Mei Ling, the champion of the War of the Worlds faction, in vain. That’s why they deliberately hid information.
“Huh… You guys. You said you wanted to go to Europe.”
“Yes…”
“Then help me. I’ll give you a ride on a private plane, so let’s do some joint work. Then I’ll drive you to France, the safest place on earth.”
“I-really..?”
“Okay.”
Mei Ling smiled.
Her memories were erased, witch parasites were planted in her, and her physical abilities were greatly reduced. .
“Jang Aim.. Dog-like bastard.. Just wait.. I’ll burn all of your slaves first…”
A blazing fire burned in Meiling’s hand.
It was the return of a truly awakened trickster.
