In battle, the enemy becomes most defenseless when he is surprised. Leos also knew this, so he let the enemy off guard and came out to have a conversation on purpose.

He killed a man who was in the most efficient position to kill him. Now all that remains are Feredin and eight members of the Imperial Shadow Corps wearing dark suits. The opponents had an overwhelming numerical superiority, but for a moment they began to hesitate at the fact that their comrade was dead.

“Are you… crazy?”

“You are the ones who are crazy. I can clearly see that he has a dagger hidden in his chest to kill me, but he talks and cooperates and says funny things.”

“There is no need to talk any more. Kill it.”

When Feredin gives the order, eight men in dark uniforms rush in at once. In order to fully utilize numerical superiority, you must not attack sequentially, but rather center your opponent and attack from all sides simultaneously.

Those who had received rigorous training from the Imperial Shadow Corps were clearly aware of this, and immediately began surrounding Leos. But Leos was not embarrassed and ran forward.

“…!”

I thought they would defend in the center, but one of the shadow corps shouted as they saw the man running forward to break through the space.

“Don’t be pierced and prepare for the attack!”

Leos began running forward, and the circular siege instantly collapsed. In other words, what they used to circle around has now become poison. This was because the distance between those on the other side and Leo had widened.

“Instead of foolishly surrounding ourselves in a circle, we should have tackled each other two at a time.”

Leos whispered and stabbed the dagger into the neck of the man in front of him. The man falls to the ground without even being able to scream with a loud sound.

There are a total of 8 people left, including 7 Amhaengbok and Feredin.

The two men in front threw away the daggers in their arms. Instead of hitting them, I turned the guy around to avoid the attack, and then threw the pebbles that were lying on the ground on their faces.

Their vision was blocked for a moment, and the dagger was stabbed right into their hearts.

With two thuds, the two men fall to the ground again.

Now there are a total of 6 people left.

“What nonsense is that…”

Feredin muttered behind him as if he was shocked. His reaction wasn’t difficult to understand. There is a clear difference between fighting monsters and fighting humans. No matter how much you fought against monsters at the Red Gate, it was nothing more than a battle with an unintelligent, muscular monster. They are different from humans who use weapons and tools intelligently and use a variety of anomalies and tactics. What if those people were thoroughly trained for slaughter?

It might be overwhelmingly more difficult to kill 5 people than to kill 10 monsters. Therefore, Feredin did not understand the current situation. Why on earth are they losing to a human who only wandered around the gate, or even to a bastard who was imprisoned for three years and didn’t even have proper combat experience?

“Come to your senses! That means putting at least one wound on his body!”

When Feredin gave the order, the attitude of the guys in dark suits changed. Previously, both defense and attack were considered, but now defense has been completely abandoned. He held a knife in both hands and started running at random. He had the very cruel intention of stabbing the other person with even a single stab, even if his own head fell off.

“Ha…”

As blood begins to flow, memories of the past flow in. The body moves automatically at the fishy smell of blood.

-Slap!

I remove the arm of the guy who is running at me. And immediately thrust the sword into his neck. After one person was taken care of, the guy next to me threw two of his own daggers at me.

-Chaeeeeng!

After striking out both daggers with one swing, I immediately threw down the one dagger in my hand and knocked the guy down.

‘There are 4 people left.’

On the battlefield where I stood, there were no people who fought with death in mind. Because that was how I could live. These were wars that could not be won without considering defense and taking care of one’s own safety. It was a series of situations in which we had to fight while being outnumbered and overcome insufficient supplies and weapons.

The current situation is actually better.

Without any hurt. I killed as many as 6 enemies.

There are 4 people left. The moment you get cut even once by the enemy’s sword, you can die. If you get a wound and your body becomes dull, you will be stung by a knife in an instant. But on the other hand, all that was necessary was not allowing a single attack.

I was confident. I am confident that I can dodge their swinging swords.

“Aaaah!”

Feredin gave an order from behind, and the three men in black suits ran towards me. Confirm that a strange energy can be felt from their bodies.

‘It’s an artifact.’

He immediately picked up the corpse of the enemy who had fallen on the ground.

-Push!

Several poisonous needles flew out from the artifact held in the hand of the man wearing the dark suit. After blocking it all with the raised corpse, he threw the sword straight at the guy’s neck.

-dump

As soon as the man fell, he took out a dagger from his chest and threw it straight into the artifact.

– Chijijijiki… Chijijijiki…

The artifact’s magic stone shattered with a strange sound, and now the only two left are Dark Happiness and Feredin. The enemies seemed to think that no more could be done and took out artifacts one by one.

“Fuck… I didn’t want to use this because it was precious, but it ended up making me use it.”

Long-distance attack artifacts generally have a limited number of uses. After using it a few times, not only can it not be reused and must be disposed of, but it is also very expensive. Therefore, even when wandering around the Red Gate, I rarely used such long-distance attack artifacts.

‘You prepared very well.’

Each artifact is worth the price of a foreign car, based on the Earth. Even though it lacked the firepower to be used against monsters, it seemed to be a device solely for killing humans. The fact that they came to me with such a weapon proves that they had planned from the beginning to kill me completely or turn me into a dead body and drag me away.

‘There is no longer any need to feel guilty.’

If they try to kill me, I will kill whoever they are. That was the way I lived on the battlefield, and it was the only discipline I had to live in that horrible place without becoming a monster. If you commit a massacre without reason, you are a monster, but if you act according to your beliefs, at least you can stop thinking of yourself as a monster.

However, since I am also human, I did not hesitate about killing my former student. Like an asshole, maybe he really trusted me just in case. It is true that I had some expectations. Even though I know that he is a member of the Imperial Secret Service…

Now that I think about it, the reason why I rationalized the idea of attacking and killing them all from the beginning, giving various reasons, wasn’t actually because I wanted to listen to what his former student had to say? I had a question.

‘I guess that means I trusted my disciples that much. Besides Feredin…even the others.’

But these doubts were immediately dispelled. I now erase the title of former student from my mind. Feredin was a definite enemy. Tried to kill me, and I have to kill him.

‘I’ve become very dull too.’

I never felt this weak when I was on Earth, but I guess I became as dull as an asshole after spending time and building bonds with people here. I realize it again. This is not a place full of romance and hope.

Because of my former student, Belin, I was imprisoned and imprisoned for no reason for three years, and I lived while listening to the ridicule and contempt of countless people.

Furthermore, all of my former students did not trust me and abandoned me without even contacting me, let alone filing a petition.

Even, there are people like Feredin who infiltrated with an impure purpose from the beginning.

Recognize and realize. So you will never become dull again.

As I corrected my mind, my body also began to move more freely.

“…”

When I took a stance with my sword in hand, they were unable to take any action even with their long-distance attack artifacts. The reason was simple. It’s probably because he knows that the moment he pours mana into the artifact, my dagger will be stuck in his throat.

So far, I have thrown daggers from a distance several times and the accuracy was 100%. That’s why they feel like my dagger is like a gun.

“Shoot! Shoot them all at the same time!”

At that moment, two men wearing dark suits and Feredin began pouring mana into the artifact. Magical bullets fired at the same time. Instead of trying to see the magical bullets flying, I started to feel their mana.

A series of processes in which mana flows through the body and into the artifact. When mana is completely absorbed into the artifact, only then will the artifact work.

‘Now is the time.’

As soon as I threw myself down, it hit me back where I was! A magic bullet flew out with a loud sound.

-Pisit!

Before the thrown body even touched the ground, three daggers were thrown away. The man wearing the dark suit all died from this, and the dagger thrown at Feredin was struck away by him. However, the long-distance attack artifact was dropped in the process of striking it down.

I picked up my fallen body and started walking slowly.

“I’m left alone, what should I do now? All those great subordinates left you first.”

“…There was no need for that kind of trash in the first place. I was as careful as I could because they told me not to kill them, but I couldn’t do it. I’ll kill you here, Leos.”

As I got closer and closer without reacting, it started howling.

“Leos. Even if I struggle like this now, there is nothing left. Your life is over. You are just a dirty criminal. I have to live with a record that will never be expunged for the rest of my life. Disciples? There isn’t a single idiotic disciple who believes in you. Even in the media and articles, it says that the world thinks of you as a scum. Rather be loyal to the empire. If you dedicate yourself to the empire, the empire will clear your name and provide support to help you get back on track.”

“Empire? That’s funny. How can the empire make up for what has already happened?”

“Because it was the empire that started this in the first place! Belin That bitch also belongs to the Empire. If you work like a dog under us, we’ll give it back to you! That bitch will also recant her statement, and your name will be cleared. how is it? There’s no need for us to fight among ourselves. I will condone killing these guys. So, if you just close your eyes and seal the Red Gate…”

-Gruck…

Leos threw down a dagger, and it grazed Feredin’s cheek. Feredin swallowed dry saliva and closed his mouth.

“Ah…Bellin, he was also a member of the Imperial Secret Service. And the thing that moved that bitch was the shadow group and the empire.”

Leos looked at him with empty eyes.

“I devoted myself to the empire, but you abandon me like this.”

“You…what do you think you can do on your own…? The reason I told you this was to tell you that no matter how much you struggle, there is no point in struggling. Fear the empire, live under the empire, for the glory of the empire…”

-Slap!

Leos rushed forward in an instant and cut off Feredin’s arm.

“Kwaaak!”

Feredin screamed, and Leos looked down at him as he fell to the ground and spoke coldly.

“Why should I be afraid of the empire? Those bastards who sit like idiots and can only give orders. From now on, the empire will have to fear me. Starting with you, I will kill everyone involved.”
