Creat cried out in pain, but quickly regained consciousness and stood up. The man immediately checked his physical condition.

‘My fist was completely shattered. As if hit by a stone…’

I don’t think I’m inferior in terms of strength. If there was anything that was lacking, it was technology. The man saw it just before his fist made contact. Leos slightly bent his waist and wrist, slamming his fist into the most vulnerable part of the bone.

‘Damn…I can’t believe you let your guard down like this.’

Seeing the average-sized man putting down his weapon, Creat unconsciously looked down on him. And the price paid for a moment of inattention was terrible. Despite the overwhelming difference in skill, he was the one who was unable to use one of his fists.

As Creat looked back, Judge Torigal shouted with an annoyed expression.

“What are you doing? Without processing it quickly.”

A few guards around Torigal. Creat wanted to ask for help, but immediately realized that the man was not the kind of person who could help, so he gave up his offer and rushed at Leos again.

“Aaaah!”

In any case, you only need to hold on to one of your arms and legs. If you drive into the ground, no matter how good your technique is, you can push back with an overwhelming difference in weight class. Creat thought so.

-Trash

When Creat grabbed Leos’ collar and pulled it, Leos’ upper body bowed and turned towards Creat. Without missing the opportunity, the man grabbed Leos’ arms with both arms and immediately tried to break him. but.

-Thud…

With the sound of something twisting, Leos rotated his body and forcibly pulled out his arm. And instead of running away, Leos approaches deeper.

“A ground fight with only one arm? I’ll do whatever you want.”

Leos jumped up as if throwing his body into the sky, and immediately wrapped Creat’s left hand using his entire body, arms, and legs. As I lifted my waist and pulled the bound man’s arms with all my body strength, a terrible sound and Creat’s screams rang out in all directions.

“Stop…Stop…Please…”

Creat tried to respond somehow, but his right arm was already broken from the first blow. He didn’t have the talent to shake off Leos, who was holding onto his left arm.

“Why? Do more. You were confident earlier. Seeing you rushing around like an idiot, did you think you could win if you stuck with him? If you think that everything in the world can be solved only through strength, you are in trouble.”

Leos grabbed Creat’s arm and moved violently, and before he knew it, the mace he had abandoned earlier was right next to him. Leos let go of the man’s arm and immediately raised his mace and struck his head.

Leos brushed off the dust from his clothes and spoke with a wry smile.

“One guy died, but the guys who looked like his colleagues were just watching instead of attacking him. You idiots.”

Funny enough, those who were guarding them gradually felt that something was wrong, but the mercenaries’ employer, Torigal, did not recognize the seriousness of the situation and started talking.

“You idiot. I only killed one of the many mercenaries. Do you know how much money and food I spent hiring these guys?”

Soon, Torigal gave orders to the mercenaries who were guarding him.

“If you paid for it, pay for it, you bastards! Run now!”

“Yes. I’d rather be more comfortable if you showed up that way.”

Leos grabbed the chain sword that had fallen to the ground. A chain sword in his right hand and a short mace in his left hand.

Nearly ten mercenary members rushed in quickly, but those in the lead began to fall one by one.

-Phew…

“Ugh…Wow…”

Those who ran from behind with caution were cut to pieces by Leos’ chain sword, and those who approached beyond a certain distance had their heads blown off by the mace.

With each attack, the number of corpses increased by one. After several more rounds, corpses were lying on the ground.

The ground was completely stained with blood, and only then did Torigal seem to sense that something was wrong, as he backed away little by little and shouted.

“Who…who was it? Please at least tell me its name. Because…I think I’ll remember.”

“Leos.”

“Leos…? Now…wait…the…gatekeeper? Right? That’s the gatekeeper. A person who was unscrupulous…no, accused of an unfair crime against a student.”

Leos just continued walking forward without saying a word. The chain sword was left hanging on the ground as if to try to run away if possible.

“I guess I remember. You said you don’t remember what happened earlier?”

“Damn…how many trials do I participate in a year? How do I remember them all? Leos. I’ll give you money. You were in pain, right? Compensating with money? No, isn’t money meaningless in this situation? Gold… I’ll reward you with gold. No matter what happens to the value of the currency, gold preserves its value. Safe…I’ll give you half of the gold bars in my safe. So calm down. I told you not to come closer, you fucking bastard!”

Before he knew it, Torigal was unable to take a step back as his body was blocked by the huge tree behind him. Leos came right in front of the man, looked down at him, and spoke.

“Compensation in money?”

“Haha…yeah…you too…you like money too, right? I’m giving it to you… I’m giving you money that you can’t get even if you work and eat your whole life. Gold…gold? Life is blooming. I think I only worked for 3 years. Are you saying I had no choice but to do it because the empire told me to? I understand? Huh?”

When Leos didn’t react in any way, Torigal smiled and spoke.

“Baby, you become calm when money comes up, right? Okay, what kind of person in the world doesn’t like money? How about you guard me now? Then I’ll give you a little more than half.”

“No need.”

“…?”

When Leos looked at Torigal with a twisted expression, he felt something was wrong and trembled.

“Why…why are you doing this…money…don’t you want to get money? Only I know the location and password of the fucking safe… They say they won’t find it if I die…”

“What I needed was not money, but an explanation and an apology. Why did they side with the empire and forcibly put me in prison? Even though they received the money, were there circumstances that made it unavoidable? Do they feel the least amount of remorse if it was just for their own self-interest?”

Leos added, bowing his head.

“That was all I was curious about.”

“Apple…Do you need an apple? Well…if you say I’ll accept it, I’ll even kneel down…”

-Phew!

The chain sword passed straight through Torigal’s feet as he tried to kneel. Torigal began rolling on the ground, shedding tears as she writhed in excruciating pain.

“I’ve never been hurt in my life, I’ve never fought for anything, and I’ve never had to make an effort to protect myself, so it just happens with one hit.”

“Queuugh…Queueuugh….”

When Torigal curled up like an insect in pain, unable to even scream, Leos looked down at him and whispered.

“It’s like a bug.”

-Kwasik

-Kwasik!

Each time Leos stepped on it, the man’s bones began to break one by one. Torigal’s face and body were becoming more and more disfigured each time he attacked, avoiding vital points as if he was not going to kill him easily.

“Stop it…that’s enough…I…I didn’t do that much wrong…”

Torigal spoke as if crawling, and Leos raised his face and asked a question.

“The pain a person feels is relative, so it seems difficult to understand. After being abandoned by everyone, I wanted to die every moment. Three years is not the problem. The people I trusted looked at me like a bug, and not only was it not enough to be pointed at by so many people, I lost everything I had. Even my job as a gatekeeper and everything I did with pride in that job were insulted and despised by people.”

Leos dragged the man and threw him to a place where many vagabonds were gathered. And then he approached me again and spoke.

“The moment you were found guilty because of money. I should have endured something like this. If you wielded power as you wish, you should have been concerned about retaliation.”

“Save me…please…please save me…I’ll give you everything…gold…money…food…I’ll give you everything I have…”

Leos completely twisted the man’s foot and whispered with an emotionless expression.

“I also participated in a public participation trial, so let’s switch roles this time. From now on, I will just follow the opinions expressed by the vagabonds.”

“…”

Leos asked the vagabonds watching around him.

“Choose. Should I kill this guy or let him live?”

The vagabonds who had sneaked into the safe zone were all silent for a moment. It was Lochen who broke the silence.

“That…human trash needs to be killed.”

Someone started first, and after that, people’s cries could be heard as if a dam was breaking.

“Lord…Kill him! I have to kill him!”

“저 개새끼가 우리 아들을 때렸어. They turned the kid into a half-asshole! That guy needs to be killed!”

“I don’t know how tyrannical he has been for a while. Please kill me right now.

“All the food I got was stolen. If you let me live, I’ll do the same thing again.”

“Kill it! Kill it!”

Torigal shouted to the surroundings with blank eyes.

“Fuck you bastards! Everyone shut up! When did I…when did I do such things…why did the mercenaries I brought in do the same things to me without even telling me…!”

Leos whispered, looking down at the screaming Torigal.

“What is your final argument?”

“Uh…it’s unfair…really. Are you really saying that most of the mercenaries harassed me without even telling me? Why the fuck would I bother other people when I have so much money!”

“I said that too. Would a gatekeeper who risks his life for the empire do such a shameless thing?”

“…Please…Please…”

Leos nodded and raised his sword high.

“Sinner Torigal. The charges are murder, assault, extortion, intimidation, dereliction of duty and bribery.”

“The sentence is death.”
