As soon as Zareid, leader of the Imperial Exploration Team, saw the mana bombs pouring from the sky, he immediately ordered his colleagues.

“Everyone evacuate!”

In an instant, all the search teams started running at incredible speeds using their light engineering skills. However, because they did not even expect the mana bomb to fall, they had already allowed too much distance. The only ones who were able to escape were those who were lucky enough to escape the attack range.

-bang!

Several members of the search team were reduced to ashes and disappeared in one huge bomb blast. Jaraid did not die because he was out of the range of the attack, but he looked at his dead comrades and cursed.

“What a fucking bastard…”

But as if this wasn’t the time for the man to leisurely swear, bombs continued to rain from the sky.

-bang!

-Quaang!

Spirel, a premium artifact that moves at incredible speeds. The fluid movement, like that of a drone, was truly shocking.

‘You handle Spirel so well? Even though it is said to be powered by mana…’

This is incomprehensible. Controlling objects moving in the air requires great senses. Since the average person has no experience using advanced artifacts, it is normal to have difficulty controlling it even if they have a Spirel.

‘Damn it’

How to move Spirel, which was extremely difficult to operate, like a human hand, that wasn’t important. Their position has now been completely exposed and escaping is a problem that needs to be urgently resolved.

“Monsters are coming from around the captain!”

As I started moving to avoid Spirel, the monsters around me began to flock.

“The surrounding monsters must have been sorted out in advance…!”

“Spirel seems to have led us here.”

-Clud…

A Spirel flying through the air as if telling you to run away if you can. He was no longer dropping mana bombs and was just staring blankly at the search team members. As if they were going to spy on me.

“Captain! Now that the enemy’s attack has stopped for a moment, we need to deal with the monsters first. Once they start flocking in, escaping becomes impossible!”

“…Kill them first. Spirel’s response is postponed.”

The moment when the search team members begin to rush towards the monsters that are beginning to gather. Spirel, which was floating in the air, spun several times and dropped a mana bomb in an instant.

Monsters and mana bombs falling from the sky. Half of the search team members died in the joint attack.

“Soo…don’t hide, come out! Such a coward…!”

When Jarade couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted, Spirel suddenly began to rise high in the air. Jarade and Karek were on guard for fear that Spirel might approach again, but it was not Spirel that approached them again, but another monster.

“Debringer…”

A bizarre monster that has the ability to detect humans and emits pheromones that attract monsters to its surroundings. Jaraid urgently tried to kill the guy. However, he eventually dropped the knife to the ground.

“Fuck…since when…?”

With over a hundred monsters gathered around Debringer, they all look at the search team members.

Only then did the man realize. While detonating so many mana bombs, a man named LEO used Spirel to lead the search party to this place where Debringer and monsters were gathered.

An enemy who sees two moves ahead rather than one. Feeling the overwhelming helplessness he felt for the first time, Jarade muttered with a helpless smile.

“Is it possible to annihilate us like this without even showing our faces…?”

The answer to his question was not answered by anyone.

-Quwadeuk

– Quad deud deuk

Hundreds of monsters gathered together and began to devour the search team members. They tried to escape using light techniques, but even they couldn’t avoid the monsters that were spread all over the world.

The monsters’ meal time continued for a long time, and there was nothing left there.

Spirel walked around the area and then slowly left.

Hericia, who was watching the entire battle process on the screen inside the shelter, looked at Leos with astonished eyes and spoke.

“No…how do you handle it so well? Even the empire’s experts can’t handle it like this?”

Spirel is more difficult to control than when using a remote control because it is not controlled by a remote control, but by connecting to the user and using the mana. This is because the user had to take everything into consideration, starting from floating in the air, changing direction, and even the effects of the wind.

“I have flown drones in war before. It’s not much different from that, so of course I have to handle it well.”

“Drone…?”

“It is a combat weapon similar to the Spirel in my hometown.”

Hericia looked like she was hearing this for the first time, but she didn’t ask any more questions. This was because Leos didn’t seem to want to answer any further.

As Leos remained quiet, Bendict came to the side and applauded.

“Brother! You did a great job of killing the Empire bastards this time too! How can you deal with the Empire from such a distance without even showing their faces? My insides are so full!”

Perhaps because Bendict had a lot of things accumulated from the Empire, his expression began to brighten for an instant every time he cleaned up the Empire’s trash.

‘Well, it has to be that way. ‘The reason Bendict’s father died was because he supported a fraudster in the Empire.’

Soon, Leos observed Hericia’s expression closely. This was because I was concerned about whether she might have animosity towards this act of murder.

“Good job Leos.”

“What?”

“You took care of the bad guys. They were posting pictures of innocent people killed on the Internet, and they probably would have continued to do so if Leos hadn’t stopped them. Well done.”

Leos didn’t respond in particular, but went to a corner and lay down looking at the sky. For some reason, I feel reassured.

The man just lay in silence and looked at the sky. Even though he killed someone, he doesn’t feel any guilt. It felt like I had just exterminated a monster.

‘You should be careful. If you kill people without any standards, then you will become a monster.’

Leos was always on guard. Even in war and in the current situation, not killing those who need to be killed is something only scum does. But on the other hand, killing all those who do not need to be killed is something only monsters do. Leos wanted revenge, not senseless slaughter.

‘Of course, those guys just now were all trash that didn’t deserve to be alive.’

Leos thought so and logged on to the interrunner. I thought that people might have animosity toward the continued killing spree. However, the community’s reaction was completely different from Leos’s thoughts.

[Title: I think I just saw that guy from TAZ]

[Text: Something fell from the sky and the guys ran away and died surrounded by monsters? This is what LEO did, right?]

[Wow! LEO killed some bad guys again, right? What the heck, really]

[We don’t have to worry anymore? Rumors spread around that that TAZ crazy bastard is really killing everyone.]

[Isn’t LEO the real Interrunner Guardian? Unlike other crazy guys, they only kill those who threaten us.]

[Ah haha, if this isn’t a hero, what is it?]

[But isn’t LEO a murderer too?]

[Shut up, what kind of murderer are you? Are you crazy? If it weren’t for LEO, I don’t know how many Interrunners would have died. 개새끼가]

Although there were some who were uncomfortable with Leos’ blatant killing spree, there were many more who defended him because there was a ‘justification’ for all his actions. There are even people who openly admire LEO.

‘This is an unexpected reaction.’

[LEO, I would like to give you support materials. Can we meet you?]

[If I were nearby, I would like to give some food.]

[Thanks to you, the people who killed my colleagues are dead. thank you. Those trash bastards who first posted it as verification were the ones who killed our colleague.]

I killed as much as I wanted to get points, and before I knew it, I had become an interrunner hero. Even when he was working as a gatekeeper, people had never been this enthusiastic, so Leos began to read the comments one by one, feeling anxious. Everyone was saying favorable things.

‘…’

Leos looked at Distance for a while and found a curious comment. A comment that was just posted on an article you wrote previously.

[ENA: LEO… are you… by any chance… Leo?]

Leos commented with a twisted expression.

[LEO: Leos? Who is that? And I think it’s right to reveal your identity before asking about me in the first place.]

[ENA: I didn’t receive a call… If you are Leos, please tell me… I am… I am Enas.]

Leos stared blankly at Distance for a moment.

In the past, a student I really cared about when I was working as a gatekeeper.
