I know.

I suggested it, but it was a truly ridiculous operation.

No matter how many restrictions are placed, does it make sense to release the enemy?

Moreover, whether it is an operation or a plan, the risk of failure is considered before execution, and the risk of this operation is the lives of nearly 100 people, including the volunteer corps.

It is truly an ultra risk that far exceeds a high risk. No, it is safe to say that it is an ultra ultra risk.

Nevertheless, after lengthy discussions, this operation was passed.

Not because they were all idiots, but because the situation was that frustrating.

If the Romanian government was truly related in any way to the Apostle of the Seven Deadly Sins, the target of the raid, we had to assume that we were surrounded in the middle of enemy territory.

The situation is dizzying enough that it would not be strange no matter when or what happens.

That’s why I chose it.

We decided to break through in one direction while we had time, before the enemies strangled us from all directions.

It was from then on.

I started running the simulation assuming the worst possible move the enemy could make.

A dangerous gamble.

Even though it was an operation that was carried out after everyone had discussed it, I was the one who proposed it.

So, I am very fortunate so far.

Being imprisoned like this was also one of the situations I simulated.

Pak!

Quad Deuk!

After completely removing the special handcuffs on the wrists of my colleagues, I looked at the surroundings through the bars.

Well, okay.

It was quite loud, but I guess I didn’t hear it because it was quiet outside.

That may also mean that it is far away.

He turns around and massages his wrists, raising the tension of his colleagues as they calmly check their bodies.

“Now, everyone, relax. Now is the real start.”

That’s it.

A situation in which you are dropped into the middle of enemy territory, guided by the enemy in some way.

It was the limit of what I could imagine at the time.

That means that from now on, we have to improvise and overcome the situation.

That was natural.

What kind of structure is the Sanctuary of Blood and the old castle where the Jinjo sleeps?

I also don’t know how many enemies there are, so how can I even imagine this far?

Of course, there are still a few things left to do in case of a crisis, but let’s save these.

The female wizard of the raid team asks.

“What are your future plans?”

It’s a plan.

There is nothing long-term, but it is clear what needs to be done right away.

“First, we need to get back the stolen equipment.”

Recovering the equipment recovered before entering the prison.

“Next, we will look for volunteers.”

The next goal is to rescue volunteers who may be held in a different place than us.

It was a goal as urgent as recovering the equipment.

As long as they are in the hands of the enemy, they will not be able to freely operate.

“The enemy must not know that we have escaped until we rescue the volunteer group.”

“To do that… .”

“Let’s gather only the elite and proceed with the search.”

“Are you telling me to pretend that the rest are in prison?”

“Yes. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get rid of the people who come to visit one by one.”

Why, it feels like a flytrap.

The raiders are huddled together in a narrow prison.

Pick the kids caught in between.

Shin Yu-jeong, Angela, Son Seo-yeon, and finally Joo-yeon.

“Five people will explore the castle like this.”

“The selection criteria seems very blatant… .”

When a colleague asks a question, I smile and nod.

right.

I chose it blatantly to suit my taste.

“In this situation, skill is a skill, but your hands and feet must work well together.”

“That’s… , right.”

When I said that, no particular noise came out.

In the first place, exploring a castle is a higher risk activity than acting in a prison.

Even those with a strong sense of justice would have no reason to go out on a limb, right?

By the time the situation was settled, Yoon Si-hoo, who was among the raiders, raised his hand.

“Senior, is it okay for me and Harin to just stay here?”

“Yes. You are here.”

“Ah… , I understand.”

The guy answered with a regret and lowered his raised hand.

Jin Ha-rin, who was next to him, also looked slightly disappointed.

Did you really want to follow me that much?

But I can’t help it.

“If I take you all with me, the head count will be too empty and I won’t be able to do it. Moreover, since it is an enemy camp, there may be some danger lurking, but the risk is too great to fight while protecting you as well.”

The guys grew at a remarkable pace, and they are still growing, but it was still not enough.

In fact, just bringing him here was a very unreasonable task.

If it weren’t for my desire to learn faster, I would have left it in Korea.

Smiling bitterly, he leaves advice and a warning to the guys.

“It is good to be confident and strong-willed, but you must be able to distinguish between what you can do and what you cannot do.”

“Yes… .”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

That’s right.

It’s really nice that these people understand once I talk to them.

I turn around and break the incredibly strong lock.

Crack!

A function that is immediately lost due to the enormous grip strength reached just before entering the realm of transcendence.

He carefully opens the door and leaves, leaving a request to those who remain.

“Please act well.”

“Don’t worry about us, worry about yourself.”

“That’s right. Avoid fighting as much as possible until you get your equipment back.”

“Fighting!”

On the contrary, an outpouring of support.

They say they play with each other, but it seems like everyone around Francis is similar.

“Now, let’s go.”

I carefully leave the prison with my colleagues.

Rumbling-

It was definitely sunny.

However, soon after getting off the plane, it started to get blurry quickly.

Finally, a flash of light flashes before my eyes, and a pure white ray of light falls between the gloomy sky and the ground.

Kkkwang!

The sound of thunder ringing loudly in my ears.

But it didn’t touch me.

For him now, even noises several times louder than thunder would not bother him.

Because a more terrible scene unfolds before your eyes.

“Ahahaha! Look, master. Did I tell you? There will be plenty of prey here.”

“… … .”

patter

Soon the rain begins to fall.

As if welcoming this, Michelle stretches her arms out to her sides, raises her head toward the sky, and closes her eyes.

“Umm… , it’s raining at good timing.”

Washed away by falling rainwater.

Blood splattered onto the pitch-black robe she was covered in, flowing from the corpses lying around.

After taking a shower in a good mood, she approaches me and leads me by the hand.

“Oh my, what should I do if you stay still? You should eat it quickly.”

“… … .”

The place we arrived at was in front of the nearest corpse.

A faint moan is heard.

“Ugh… , buy, save… .”

okay.

Although they are on the verge of death, they are still alive.

However, the reason I described it as a corpse was because it was going to happen soon anyway.

And that too, with my own hands.

However, it was difficult to reach out easily.

The last remaining ray of conscience kept holding back his steps and hands.

Michelle didn’t look at this.

“Why are you hesitating now? , isn’t it?”

A somewhat cool tone of voice.

he protested.

“… The ones I’ve touched so far are people who deserve to die.”

But those gathered here were different.

Those who were unable to withstand starvation in the face of national ruin and became thieves.

It is clear that hurting and stealing from someone is a great sin.

However, having suffered from hunger once, he was unable to come up with an answer.

Are their sins really worthy of death?

Before he could answer on his own, Michelle, who had already hugged him from behind, whispered.

“Of course, master. They deserve to die.”

“… Why?”

“As much as they survived by stealing, those who were stolen would have died.”

“… … !”

It wasn’t wrong.

They chose to steal for themselves and their families.

So what about those who were taken away by them?

He would have suffered from even greater hunger and eventually lost his life.

‘Yes, I see.’

It’s just as she said.

Those dying at your feet are all human beings who deserve to die.

The reason they decided to become thieves is because they have power.

So, I guess it was so easy to think about making a living by stealing from others.

Anger rises.

“You probably didn’t even think about the position of the victim, you… !”

Because it’s times like this.

Because I and my family have to survive more than anyone else.

He must have rationalized it that way and never thought about the feelings of the victim who was taken away or the future.

“So let me tell you.”

A tone full of chills.

He took out a dagger from his chest and pointed it at the dying people.

“How did those who were stolen from you die?”

Make sure you feel it clearly too.

Put down the knife.

Phew!

“Big black… !”

Any hesitation has long since disappeared.

Stab.

Quack!

Stab.

Squeak-

Sting again.

“Crrr… .”

Breathing ceases one by one.

After killing dozens of people, he wiped the blood from his face under the pouring rain.

Then, without hesitation, he turned around and asked Michelle, who was watching him.

“Now tell me.”

“What do you mean?”

“I didn’t come here to kill these little bastards.”

Before coming here, she said.

The end is not far away now.

There is something here that will open the door to a new beginning for me.

“Tell me. Who is that?”

“… … !”

she saw

A fleeting glimpse of joy pouring from the eyes of a man urging me to answer.

I also felt it.

The pressure that tightened my body to the point of being frustrating and quickly disappeared.

A sense of obedience that naturally blooms.

She answered without further ado.

“Apostle of Greed.”

The final sacrifice he must kill and destroy.

“You have to kill him.”

“Apostle of greed… .”

A man who thought about that name over and over again.

Son Si-woo immediately turned his back and moved forward without hesitation.

To open a tightly closed future with my own hands.

Michelle followed him silently.
