# 262
262. As if killing insects (2),
the smell of blood spread thickly in the room.
I looked down, frowning. The bed and duvet sheets were all stained red.
No one in there needs to say what happened.
“How many are there?”
“Eight people.”
Katio frowned and scratched his head.
8 people in 3 days. Including those who were sacrificed in the first raid, close to 15 heroes died.
Besides, the corpse in front of him was not a combat worker.
He was just a rookie in charge of kitchen assistance and preparing ingredients at a restaurant.
Not only this guy, but all the dead were heroes who had nothing to do with fighting.
Those who had nothing to do with me were assassinated just because they belonged to the same waiting room as me.
‘Does that mean I’ll throw up on my own?’
Their intentions are clear.
If you don’t want to increase the number of deaths, bring the Book of Reversal.
After Amkena detected an assassin invasion, she immediately stepped up vigilance, but to no avail. Even after tripling the number of guards, deploying patrolling troops, and deploying Katio’s detection magic, the victims continued to rise.
If it had come in openly, it could have been a battle.
But after the first time, they didn’t show up at all and were assassinating one or two people in the waiting room.
‘I’ve heard rumors that it’s notorious, but…’
Amkena must be crazy.
It is not possible to identify the intruder. Reinforcement of boundaries has no effect. I don’t know when it will end or how far it will go.
“Who is it? No surveillance, no detection magic, no traps!”
Katio burst into exasperation.
It was natural. A ranker-class assassin could hide his presence perfectly. Taoni’s vigilance and trap magic do not work on them.
Its appearance is revealed only when it raises its sword to kill once.
I don’t know if the waiting room level was higher, but the current facilities in Taonier were not enough to stop them.
“What the hell are you aiming for…”
“You’re aiming for me.”
I touched the sheath.
it’s for show me
“Tell people to lock the door before going to bed, and to report any suspicious people right away. Don’t go out recklessly at dawn. Let the children go on patrol in the assistant’s dormitory.”
I got out of the room
These measures will not be effective.
‘Can I simply endure it?’
Until Yurnet notices the situation?
no. The fact that they took the ring meant that they were considering the possibility of support coming. Perhaps, if another force intervened, there was a possibility of causing a large-scale terrorism in the waiting room itself.
Dozens or hundreds of people could have been slaughtered at once.
‘It’s not good.’
It was clear that they were waiting for airships outside. But I couldn’t find where it was.
This is the hunter way. Like a spider, it tangles its prey and dries it to death.
I didn’t know that I would actually get hit.
If he had focused on me, there would have been room for a counterattack.
However, they are strictly targeting only those around them. But even so, since I haven’t released the Book of Reversal, I’m sure the target will be moved to a combat position. The first target is likely to be Velkist or Jenna Kishasha. I don’t know about the other guys, but if even one person in the 1st party is assassinated, there will be a huge setback in the capture.
can’t take the time
There is no way to catch them.
Then…
‘I have no choice but to pull it out myself.’
I looked up.
A gray mist looms in the sky. Amkena is not logged in.
Even if you come in, you’ll just stomp your feet.
This was a problem I had to solve.
If it’s the end of turning over the Book of Reversal, I’ll consider that method, but there’s a 100% chance of getting stabbed in the back.
After acquiring the item, there is no reason to keep me alive. Thorough trampling is the basis of PVP.
I passed the midday plaza.
The scene crowded with passers-by is nowhere to be found.
Only armed heroes come and go with threatening expressions.
‘Let’s see.’
The weapon I have… is that they want the Book of Reversal.
Is this one enough?
I opened the door leading to the airship hangar.
The hangar, which was busy with work, is also empty.
I headed for the Lucette Lake built on the far left.
I checked the airship status on the hangar instrument panel.
The repairs have been completed and the fuel is full. The automatic driving system is also complete.
Just enter the coordinates and you can start wherever you want at any time.
I leaped several meters, grabbed the iron railing, and jumped back onto the deck.
I went to the cockpit and set up the driving system.
[Master dispatch begins!]
[Dispatch heroes – ‘Han (★★★★★)’ ‘Jenna (★★★★★)’ ‘Belquist (★★★★★)’]
[Region – Dimension City Beta (144.***.***.***)]
[Type – Unknown]
[Period – TBD]
[※Caution!]
[This dispatch is an ‘automatic dispatch’ carried out voluntarily by the hero! If you don’t want this, ‘OFF’ the autonomous action function in the settings tab!]
Sorry, let’s have an affair only once.
thud! I pressed the airship’s accelerator button.
Whoa!
The Lucette rose into the air and was launched into a dimensional vortex.
Change is in an instant.
[Dimension 1535 – Taoni]
A tower of infinite height spreads right behind.
Acrid air infiltrating the lungs.
After I came out on deck, I opened my mouth.
“Don’t be silly, come out.”
rustle.
A wooden barrel swayed beyond the deck posts.
At the same time, someone rolled out onto the deck.
She raised herself with a nimble motion.
“Did you catch it too?”
Jenna laughed hehehe.
Didn’t you sleep after being caught and it’s displayed in the dispatch window?
I asked straight forward.
“Why did you ride here? I never ordered you to.”
“You tried to have fun alone. You can’t just leave your brother’s right arm alone.”
“Are you having fun?”
Jenna cleared her throat.
“It’s your brother’s big crisis, but how can I stay still. I have to do something! Isn’t that right, Brother Bell?”
I looked to the side.
Belquist slowly walked up the stairs.
“Well, that’s how it happened.”
Belquist said in a dull voice.
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but wouldn’t it be better than doing it alone?
“…”
“It will help.”
Belquist leaned his back against the cabin wall.
I clicked my tongue. Uninvited guests appeared. Apparently, he had secretly watched me doing groundwork on the airship yesterday.
“Ah, I don’t like it that much. I heard you came to help because you thought of your brother.”
“This is my job.”
“My work and other people’s work are not the same. That we are all the same compatriots.”
“It gives me goosebumps when Belle says that.”
“…do you want to die?”
Jenna smiled and turned to me.
“Anyway, a thief appeared in my house, and we have to fight it together. Fighting!”
Jenna raised her fist.
An invariably smirking tone.
If the book of reversal was the cause, there was no need to bring in these guys.
‘I can’t go back now.’
The guys must have already noticed.
I let out a sigh as the ground went out.
“So, is it okay to leave the waiting room?”
“Even if it is stuck, it will only cause damage.”
“Ah, because of the serial assassination?
I nodded.
Fighting in the waiting room is not recommended.
It’s like holding close to 1,000 hostages and fighting.
Even if an all-out war is fought, large-scale damage will inevitably be suffered.
‘Then… I have no choice but to change the battlefield.’
I walked over to the railing.
Then, he took out a thick hardcover book from within.
“What is that book?”
“What they want. It’s very expensive.”
I can’t use it because it’s broken.
I fluttered the pages of the book proudly.
“Take it.”
I threw the book over the railing.
A whitish mist rose from below.
‘As expected.’
I wiggled my fingers before a transparent hand snatched the book.
Dismissed! Dark red lightning entangled the Book of Reverse Heaven, and the book surged upside down and landed in my hand.
I chuckled.
“If you can take it.”
Whoops!
The Lucette vomited blue flames from the stern.
start accelerating. With a roar, the airship began heading toward the edge of the field.
“Where are you going?”
“Dimensional City Beta.”
This is where the 6-star upgrade center is located.
“The level has risen enough to rise, but shouldn’t I be promoted?”
“There are troublesome things following behind.”
I glanced back.
An airship painted all black was pursuing the Lucette. A skull pattern was painted over the front of the airship. You’ve finally lifted your heavy ass.
“It’s a combination of both sides.”
The distance difference is about 100m.
It’s not close enough for them to enter the hull.
It won’t be easy to follow. The Lucette is a small ship that emphasizes maneuverability. As far as speed, it is not lagging behind any airship.
[…This bastard.]
A voice full of noise.
But I knew that I was in a bad mood.
[Do you want to die? Bring it when you say nice things.]
Ugh!
Lucette spewed more rocket fuel.
[You go back and kill them all?]
“Do whatever you want. It won’t be a dog death. It’s good to take the time.”
[Sounds like a joke?]
“Could you?”
I chuckled.
“The Book of Reversal is in my hands. I like it as it is if you go back. It’s fine if you jump elsewhere. How about you guys? When the hostages are gone and time delays… they’ll come?”
You know who I’m talking about.
If I hadn’t known, I wouldn’t have taken the ring off.
[…]
Chijik.
Communication was cut off without a word.
And their emptiness started to pick up speed with fierce momentum.
‘Battle of guts won.’
Even if I go to Niflheim, the Book of Reversal will never be recovered.
The Lucette lacks the endurance to go all the way to Niflheim, but they can’t know that.
“…The Book of Reverse Heaven.”
Jenna muttered quietly.
He must have heard rumors when he was educated in Niflheim.
“The key item for 7-star promotion, right?”
“okay.”
“My brother has it.”
“It happened by accident.”
“I can’t afford to lose it!”
Jenna rolled up her sleeves.
“The Book of Reverse Heaven?”
Belquist narrowed his eyes.
It’s like hearing this guy for the first time.
“Well, that’s fine. It’s been a while.
” “Don’t start a fight just because you can see it.”
Dimension City Beta is a company-only area.
It’s a crowded place with numerous masters and hero NPCs, so one common rule applies:
‘PVP prohibited. ‘
“There’s no way they’ll follow those rules.
They’ll be looking for an opening somehow. Even if not, the longer the better.
There’ll be a response from Niflheim within a week at the latest.
It’s the other side that’s urgent, not me.
‘Of course… .’
I had no intention of borrowing Niflheim’s hand. I
intended to catch it from this side and finish it.
I can’t catch them or chase after them, but I can make
them come on their own. is just self-defense.
Also, countless pursuers will catch up with them.
Fighting in a field where the allies have an advantage.
It was the basic of the basics.
“….”
The side of the black airship.
Cannons appeared.
Apparently, Lucette It looks like they’re trying to shoot it down…
“That’s not possible.”
Jenna put an iron arrow on the string.
Boom! The cannon fired afterward.
At the same time, Jenna’s hand moved like lightning and the string vibrated. .

_ Every time a shot flew, one of their cannons fell silent with smoke.
‘The defense is terrible.’
If there were archers or mages, they would have defended or counterattacked, but unfortunately there are only assassins out there.
Soon after, all the cannons became inoperable.
This
is the end of their ranged firepower.
