    ◈ Episode 118 The final ending is always explosive

    “Did you succeed?”

    Violetta who saw that the black guards wearing black armor had rushed in a moment ago realized that the operation was successful.

    ‘Then I guess I’ll have to go out here too.’

    She used to be on standby for emergencies but there was no need to do that anymore.

    With that thought in mind I was about to move when I noticed a familiar face coming into the hall with a grin.

    ‘That man. ‘You’re the key master right?’

    The Key Master who had approached her pretending to be drunk and knocked her out was looking for someone with bloodshot eyes.

    ‘This is annoying. I tried to stun him for as long as possible but maybe it wasn’t enough.’

    It was difficult for her to get out as the key master was openly guarding the front door leading outside.

    I tried to sneak out through the back door but the employee who had already received instructions was blocking the way.

    If we continue like this we will be stuck and unable to move.

    ‘Just because the door is blocked doesn’t mean there’s no way out right?’

    Violetta headed out the window with light steps.

    She is currently on the 5th floor overlooking the hall.

    She opened the window wide and looked down.

    I could see cars and citizens passing by with scarlet streetlights below.

    This Kunst auction house and hotel has a high ceiling compared to other buildings even if it is on the 5th floor so if it falls even a single bone cannot be removed.

    But Violetta didn’t care and carefully lifted the hem of her skirt and crossed her feet over the window frame.

    “then. Shall we go?”

    Eventually she sat down by the window kicked off her seat and jumped down.

    At the same time he widened the black parasol he was holding in one hand.

    A dangerous situation where you might fall down.

    Surprisingly Violetta did not fall to the ground but instead floated in the air on a parasol.

    Hwioooo.

    The blowing wind pushes the parasol and lifts her body higher.

    It was a dark night with the sun already setting so no one spotted her dressed in black.

    Normal flight magic uses <mana release> but Violetta who is still inexperienced with release magic looked for another method instead.

    It is a mixture of her specialty the <element element> of wind and the <telekinesis> she learned from Ludger.

    Violetta flew far away on the wind through a black parasol and landed lightly in a place where no one could see.

    And soon before the time limit expired the last communication was sent via portable radio.

    “This is <Mary Poppins>. “I escaped the Kunst auction house safely.”

    After delivering the news like that the moment she was about to move to join the hideout she felt eyes on her and stopped.

    A kid was looking at him with wide eyes.

    It seemed like I happened to see something that came down from the sky.

    “fizzle.”

    Violetta put her index finger to her mouth with a mischievous smile.

    The little boy nodded absently unable to close his open mouth.

    * * *

    “hey. “Are you ready?”

    Sheridan who was sitting in the driver’s seat of the truck prepared at the entrance in advance looked back and asked.

    Four people wearing black armor the symbol of the Black Guard were busy loading luggage onto the truck.

    “It’s a valuable item so load it carefully!”

    “I am indeed. “If anyone hears it they’ll think it’s theirs.”

    “Hey Hans! “What did you say!”

    “I didn’t say anything.”

    After loading all their luggage the members took their seats in the truck’s luggage compartment.

    “Have you loaded everything? “Then are we leaving now?”

    “Oh wait. “I’m getting off here.”

    “why? “Did you leave something behind?”

    “That’s not it I have something to give to you.”

    Hans took out the items he had prepared in advance among the auction items stored in safe number 3 and showed them.

    It was a piece that appeared to be part of something.

    Fragment of Relic.

    This was the most fundamental reason why Ludger pushed ahead with this operation.

    Hans intended to deliver it directly to Ludger.

    In fact Ludger even told me to bring this in the last communication.

    “Go first. “I will follow you soon with my brother.”

    “okay? okay. “Well it won’t matter as long as I’m with you.”

    After taking off his black armor Hans immediately changed into a suit and headed inside the auction house.

    The security at the entrance was very lax as even the heavily guarded guards who would have guarded the entrance before were dealing with what had happened inside.

    Hans naturally entered the auction house without raising anyone’s suspicions.

    Unlike when he sneaked in through the back door a little while ago his steps toward the front door were confident.

    Hans who was moving with the desire to quickly deliver the relic fragments he had collected to Ludger stopped for a moment.

    ‘what?’

    As I was passing by the restaurant a group of people sitting in a corner caught my eye.

    It was a five-member group wearing black suits.

    Although they didn’t seem particularly strange on the outside Hans’ innate senses caught a strange odor coming from them.

    ‘Something feels strong….’

    It’s also a moment to glance at them with suspicious eyes.

    At some point people’s screams echoed throughout the auction house and a commotion began.

    As if on cue a group of people in black suits started to stand up.

    Hans felt the hairs on his whole body stand up.

    Because what they took out of their arms was a wand that only wizards could use.

    “this…!”

    At the same time a dark and slimy black magic power swept around.

    * * *

    ‘What’s happening all of a sudden?’

    Ludger was quite embarrassed by the explosion that occurred out of nowhere.

    At first I thought that Sheridan was unable to suppress his bomb demon instinct and ended up causing the accident but I immediately erased that guess from my mind.

    ‘This auction house is where wizards always maintain the [Silence of Fire] spell in preparation for any unexpected danger. There’s no way an explosion could have happened in a place like that.’

    That means that this occurred in a different way than an explosion using gunpowder.

    magic? Or something else?

    It doesn’t matter what it is.

    The problem is ‘who’ did this?

    These are the people who would normally explode and cause chaos in a place like this.

    “Everyone stay still!”

    “Anyone who moves will die!”

    They must be obvious at first glance.

    “What the hell are you guys! I know where this is! “Wow!”

    “I told you to shut up!”

    “Aaaah!”

    When the middle-aged man who had been fearless for no reason fell down bleeding from his head the customers realized the seriousness of the situation and screamed.

    Looking at the group that instantly turned the auction house into chaos Ludger realized that the situation was not going well.

    ‘How on earth did you get into the Kunst auction house?’

    And how could they have the courage to do something like this in such a heavily guarded place?

    ‘ah.’

    Ludger who was thinking like that realized where the black guards who were supposed to guard the inside of this auction house were and sighed softly inwardly.

    ‘Is it because of us?’

    The black guards protecting the Kunst are now trapped in an underground storage room with a broken elevator and they don’t know when they will come up.

    As a result even if someone goes wild inside there is no one who can quickly subdue them.

    Of course there is internal security but the people who have appeared now are far from ordinary no matter how you look at them.

    From the clothes you are wearing to the weapons you are holding in your hands.

    Since they came here with the intention of robbing this place they must have the right skills to do so.

    The difference in power is overwhelming.

    Normally they would have thought they couldn’t move and backed off but now it was different.

    With more than 80% of the Blackguard’s strength imprisoned underground under Ludger’s plan the best opportunity for them to move has come.

    Of course there were many personal escorts at this Kunst auction house to escort the VIPs who came here.

    However they are not those who protect the Kunst Auction House but those who hire them.

    And the enemies were cunningly aware of that very well.

    “Eat this!”

    A green fog spreads out in an instant.

    The guards gritted their teeth when they saw that it looked dangerous to anyone.

    “Avoid!”

    “Get back! “Don’t touch it!”

    Fighting to protect someone is much more difficult than fighting to simply defeat the other person.

    Since the guards only had to keep their employers safe anyway there was no need to show a sense of justice and fight them.

    ‘But for all that there is commotion elsewhere…’

    Ludger’s sensitive hearing picked up the faint sound of an explosion coming from somewhere else.

    In addition to the guys on the podium taking care of the valuables that have just been sold there are other groups that have broken into this Kunst auction house.

    The price was the loss of a deterrent that prevented criminals from operating freely.

    It was a planned process for those who had been working in secret waiting for every opportunity until now to wake up and reveal the greed they had been suppressing.

    The problem is that it happened now.

    “Hey it’s a warlock! “There are crazy warlocks!”

    Someone ran into the auction house screaming.

    His skin was covered with dark veins like a curse used by warlocks.

    The man who rolled his eyes and screamed was one of the big guys watching Ludger.

    Eventually the man foamed at the mouth fell to the floor and died.

    The cry of a warlock and the sight of a man who died painfully.

    Fear is contagious.

    “Aaaah!”

    “Run away!”

    “Don’t push me!”

    “Get out of my way! “Our employer’s escape comes first!”

    “Do not disturb!”

    Guard troops trying to protect their employers and people who have not yet figured out the situation.

    People die and explosions occur everywhere causing people to scream in panic.

    People running away from each other bumping into each other getting tangled up and swearing.

    In an instant the auction house became the center of chaos.

    It was as if someone malicious had placed a large basin and poured a lot of mud called despair onto it.

    ‘I guess I should get out too.’

    Anyway since I had achieved my purpose for coming to the Kunst Auction House there was no need to stay here any longer.

    Moreover there were more than one invader.

    Even though there are robbers moving to rob the auction items I never thought there would even be warlocks.

    Moreover as fighting sounds were heard from other places it seemed certain that another group was involved.

    Ludger who was naturally trying to run away by blending in with the fleeing crowd suddenly remembered that he had given separate instructions to Hans.

    He told Hans to bring the Relic fragment separately.

    It was a while ago that they contacted me saying they would pick it up soon.

    ‘Hans? Did he get out safely?’

    If he was a quick-witted guy he would have taken a reasonable look at the situation and retreated.

    It was certainly natural to think so but Ludger felt strangely uneasy.

    * * *

    ‘ah. what.’

    Hans instantly realized that he had fainted.

    He felt the marble of the floor against his cheek.

    When did you collapse? With that thought in mind I tried to get up from my seat.

    ‘I don’t have any strength.’

    All strength was gone from my whole body.

    As I desperately tried to strengthen my hand my right hand moved properly.

    He rolled his eyes and looked at his right hand.

    ‘Where did the piece go?’

    His hand which had been holding the piece of relic before saving was empty.

    Hans lifted his head with difficulty.

    People were lying around and among them people in black suits could be seen moving like ghosts.

    The evil smell of death they gave off was more vivid than before.

    ‘Warlock.’

    Damn it. Hans lamented inwardly.

    I didn’t have much luck.

    I never would have thought that on the day my brother and I opened the Kunst auction house even warlocks came to visit.

    no. Did this happen because all the black guards were away?

    Hans was about to close his eyes and pretend to be dead when he suddenly noticed one of the warlocks holding a piece of the relic.

    It was probably taken from the person who fainted.

    It may seem like a useless item at first glance but someone of the level of a warlock might have recognized the value of this fragment.

    ‘no.’

    This was something I had to pass on to my brother.

    That’s not something those damn warlocks will take.

    But how?

    Before he could even think about how to get back what was taken from him in a situation where his body was not moving Hans’ mouth moved.

    “Give it to me.”

    “huh? what. “Isn’t this kid dead yet?”

    The warlock who took the piece of relic from Hans heard Hans’ muttering and approached him.

    I thought I had used a curse spell in the surrounding area to get rid of all the troublesome humans but I never thought there would be survivors.

    It seemed like he had quite a bit of vitality compared to an average person.

    “Give that to me… It’s something I have to give to my brother.”

    “ah. this?”

    The warlock smiled when he saw Hans glaring at him.

    Pow!

    I then kicked him hard in the side.

    “Khaak!”

    “What should you give me a bug that can’t even move?”

    “Keueuuuu.”

    Hans turned over and lay down looking at the ceiling.

    The warlock who was trying to kill Hans like this smiled bitterly when he saw the black veins running down his skin.

    “Looking at it like that I don’t think I will live long anyway. I will show mercy and let you go without killing you myself.”

    As he said he meant to leave Hans struggling and dying in pain.

    Hans was unable to make any rebuttal to the warlock’s words ridiculing this side.

    “Huh. “Huh.”

    Damn it.

    Hans gasped desperately and gritted his teeth.

    Just breathing without any strength in my body is overwhelming.

    I felt that my body was gradually dying.

    ‘If it wasn’t me but someone else here.’

    What would it have been like if it had been Alex or Pantos Arpa?

    If it had been them at least they wouldn’t have been sprawled out on the floor like me.

    I wouldn’t have had something stolen from me that I had to give to my brother.

    ‘It’s all because I’m weak.’

    It was difficult to bear the misery due to the rising sense of helplessness.

    Even though I gritted my teeth and endured it I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.

    It was a life of running away because I was afraid of fighting.

    Then he met Ludger and was able to do what he was good at without fighting.

    But in the end it’s a story about when I was with Ludger.

    Who I am when he’s not around.

    This idiot named Hans was nothing more than a weak coward who couldn’t do anything.

    ‘I am….’

    ha. ha.

    My breathing gradually becomes heavier. I felt that my lungs were being destroyed.

    The curse left behind by the warlocks was eating away at his body.

    Hans moved with all his remaining strength.

    He took out an object from his arms with his trembling right hand.

    It’s a dagger.

    But it was different from an ordinary dagger.

    The dagger that was supposed to have a sharp sharp edge was instead studded with rough ivory-colored teeth.

    Hans looked at it with trembling eyes.

    “Sigh!”

    He stabbed it into his abdomen with all his might.

    * * *

    “Everyone escape this way! “Keep calm!”

    “Don’t push! be careful!”

    “What are the guards doing?”

    An escape route filled with screams.

    Ludger who was mixed in with the crowd of people escaping stopped before going out.

    “what! “Don’t stop!”

    “Don’t block the road get out of the way!”

    Ludger looked back ignoring the people yelling.

    His sense of anxiety which had been complaining for a while rang the final alarm.

    Inside the auction house the smell of a nightmare I encountered a long time ago was flowing through the wind.

    Oooooooh━━━!!!

    The howl of the beast rang out.
