by fnovelpiaHow many months have passed since I declared that I would become an asshole? A thought suddenly occurred to Shiron.
‘Efficiency is getting lower…’
Did you say that humans are adaptable animals?
That also applies to the game world.
[Excellent Chef Hearst] knew that it was thanks to Siron that his cooking skills had improved so much.
[Part-time instructor Echidna]’s angry self-talk that occasionally erupted became less and less frequent now that she had become accustomed to it.
The most important thing is that the named NPCs that were wandering around the market alleys disappeared.
If I just hit it recklessly, it will disappear, so I set up an appropriate bait and wandered around, but even that was becoming less and less effective.
This is very unfortunate in the current situation where the status window or system window is not visible.
‘In times like this, the answer is to increase efficiency…’
So far, I’ve been cautious about going outside because I expect the threat level to be quite high.
Siron assumed that since it had been a while since he had been liked, it would be okay to promote confidently.
‘More broadly and more clearly.’
Banks, libraries, restaurants, auction houses, amusement parks…
A ball hosted by a noble family or a gambling hall and auction house held in an underworld.
The places in front were bound to have a lot of NPCs due to events that would take place in the future, and there were a lot of enemies that even Zuo Pai couldn’t feel any remorse for, so they were appropriate places to do crazy things.
“Master, how am I? Doesn’t this make him seem like a competent attendant?”
“Well, it’s my first time wearing pants, so it’s a bit awkward.”
The girls who stood in front of Siron looked a little shy.
Before going to your destination.
To act as escorts, Encia and Ophelia changed into black suits instead of the maid uniforms they usually wore. This is because Siron claims that being escorted by a maid is not in form.
“Kuhm.”
Siron cleared his throat once to attract their attention.
“Don’t forget to keep your hands in check.”
Siron spoke in a somewhat serious voice.
In order for the prestige value to remain low, the NPC whose favorability rating had decreased had to be alive.
Siron went to the bank, giving another warning to those with evil tendencies.
“…”
However, when we arrived at the bank, something was strange.
When I opened the door and entered, there were no guards, and big men who looked like bandits greeted Siron with drawn swords.
“What, what?! How did these bastards get in here!”
“Hey! What is the magic barrier?!”
“No, I don’t know! How on earth did you get in?”
“…How do I get in? I just opened the door and came in.”
Encia answered with a curt shrug. The big guys immediately rushed at her.
Anyone could tell that these bastards were not bank employees.
“Encia. I think it’s okay to kill these guys.”
“Yes.”
Patter-
As soon as Siron’s command was given, the big men’s heads fell to the floor. Then three bodies fell to the floor.
It was a quick attack that Siron could not see.
It was natural for them to die.
Siron crossed his arms, looking at the blood-stained carpet.
“Bitter… It’s tightly twisted…”
Shiron stroked his chin and groaned.
The fact that people with drawn swords are standing guard in the bank hallway means that something has happened beyond that door.
“Master? It looks like there are hostages inside. Are you going to save them?”
“…Wait.”
Shiron pressed his eyebrows and stopped Encia. This is because there were more than one or two parts that got stuck.
No matter how much the opponent was a character in the game, Shiron was reluctant to even abuse his opponent unless he was clearly a villain.
Siron is an inherently good person. Therefore, he naturally did not want to let innocent citizens die.
However, if you save people like this, all your efforts so far will be in vain.
Even a fool would know that when you save people, the favorability of the NPCs there will increase. It was an undesirable result that the reputational figures that had been lowered steadily rose beyond restoration.
‘What do we do? It’s such a shame that the image I’ve built up so far is being shattered.’
Siron, who was chewing his lips, soon looked at the maids.
“…Even if you ask for it, ask for it so that you don’t like it.”
*
The bank, which had been silent due to the trio’s appearance, became noisy again.
“…”
‘what. What about those bastards?’
Eren, the leader of the robbers, saw people who appeared out of nowhere.
The seemingly expensive clothes and the way he could overpower his colleagues in an instant drove home to him that they were not ordinary people.
‘You broke through the 6-star barrier?’
Eren, a 5-star wizard, knew well what that meant.
The black market scroll broker told Eren that it was definitely a 6-star magic [Isolation Barrier].
The isolation barrier is a magic that creates a space isolated from the outside world. It makes it impossible to know what is happening inside, and it prevents anyone from even daring to approach the inside.
In order to see through the isolation barrier and invade, you had to have at least 7-star magic skills or higher.
In the first place, the Isolation Wall is a rare magic, so many wizards don’t even know it exists.
‘7 stars? Or something more?’
Breaking that isolation barrier and invading? Eren first had a feeling that his opponent would not be of average skill.
however,
I couldn’t sense any mana from them that could create magic. Entering the barrier without using any barrier removal technique was a phenomenon that was difficult for his mind to accept.
‘That bastard tricked me…’
Thick veins appeared on Eren’s forehead. The anger grew uncontrollably because the item was purchased for a huge sum of 30,000 shillings.
But it doesn’t matter, if you finish this job, you can make a profit ten or twenty times the loss.
‘Kill the babies first.’
The decision was quick. Eren quietly chanted at the boy who had been looking around and stroking his chin.
[thunderstroke]
The chant you chant reacts with mana. It resonated with the staff I was holding in my hand.
A split second, maybe less. Blue lightning struck the boy, but unfortunately his magic did not reach him.
“…Master? Are these guys going to attack first?”
The blonde woman stretched out her hand and blocked the lightning.
The air screamed with a crackling sound, but only the sleeves of her clothes were slightly burned.
In fact, she seemed unharmed after being hit directly by magic.
“…what…what is it.”
At that, Eren’s expression turned dark. Reacting and blocking a ‘lightning strike’ without even looking at the staff’s direction is an unheard of feat.
The boy spat on the floor and stared at the woman next to him.
“Ophelia. Bring that bastard in front of me.”
“Okay.”
Ophelia approached Eren with the boy’s command. The atmosphere has changed since its first appearance. Ophelia’s head boiled at the fact that Eren had targeted Siron for his attack.
“Oh, don’t come!”
Eren resisted fiercely by firing magic, but Ofelia did not dodge the magic and grabbed Eren by the hair.
“Ah! Argh!”
Eren resisted fiercely while being grabbed by his hair. However, he could not resist Ophelia’s monstrous strength.
“Right, wrong!”
Eren’s face was covered in tears as the pain felt like his scalp was being torn off. The words asking for forgiveness automatically came out of my mouth.
Ophelia placed in front of Siron the person who deserved to be killed, neither too fast nor too slow.
Cheolpudeok-
“Kneel down. Garbage.”
“Ugh… uh…”
Eren crawled on the floor with a terrified face.
Rather than looking at her unharmed even when hit directly by a 5-star wizard’s magic,
My heart broke at the attitude of treating me like a burden rather than a person.
Shiron grabbed Eren by the collar and looked into his eyes. Eren couldn’t make eye contact. We have already figured out who is A and E.
“You. Do you know who I am?”
“…I don’t know.”
“But with what confidence did you attack? I can’t understand at all.”
slam-
Shiron laughed and punched Eren in the face.
Slap-slap-slap-
Sharp sounds rang out one after another.
Like that, Siron slapped the wizard until he went limp.
“Next.”
Everyone froze at the situation that happened in an instant.
It was no different from the person lying face down on the cold floor or the gunman holding the hostage.
The assailants broke into a cold sweat as they saw their leader being dragged away helplessly.
“Oh, if you come, I’ll kill you!”
The gunman shouted as he held a knife to the hostage’s throat, but Ophelia grabbed the knife with her bare hands and broke it. The hostage, who had a small scratch on his neck, fainted.
The gunman hurriedly tried to run away, but it was no use.
“Ahh! Wow!”
A strange man, crying and screaming, knelt in front of Siron.
“Did you really threaten me? This is funny bastard. Do you think hostages will work?”
“Uh… turn it off….”
The gunman was unable to speak properly due to fear and pain.
“Because I made a cheeky threat. Let’s beat you until you die.”
“Sin! Sorry… Save me! Wow!”
As a signal for atonement, Siron plunged his fist into the assailant’s face until it became hollow.
Knock- Knock- Knock- Knock- Knock-
With the sound of a pumpkin breaking, everyone inside the bank laid down their weapons and fell down.
They correctly understood that not resisting was the only way to survive.
