    Episode 441

    “…….”

    Malcolm and the red-haired boy faced off. Malcolm withdrew his surprised expression and let out a crooked smile.

    “What is this?”

    “I thought you didn’t know.”

    The red-haired boy also answered without backing down.

    “There has already been information that the Randolph Gang is targeting the Farona Peninsula. Your goal is most likely the ‘Skull of Deimos’ stored in the museum. And just in time.”

    The sword the boy raised reflected the sunlight and sparkled with anticipation.

    “The son of the Randolph gang boss is at the scene in person. Do you need any further explanation?”

    “……It’s ridiculous.”

    Malcolm shrugged.

    “Then do you know this? Before I was a member of the Randolph Gang…”

    -It’s over. Don’t go back to Locke Island.

    At that moment my father’s voice came to mind.

    The word ‘Kizen’ which I would normally say confidently lingered in my mouth. His fists were shaking.

    ‘Damn it.’

    Now he wasn’t a keygen or anything. Just a cheap criminal belonging to a gang.

    That fact struck me deeply.

    “Yes fuck. It doesn’t really matter now.”

    Tsusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss—

    An afterimage appeared on Malcolm’s body and clones that looked exactly like him scattered into five branches and stepped on the ground.

    I couldn’t distinguish between real and fake. Their appearance clothing and even the movements of their chests when they walk pose and breathe were all the same.

    The red-haired boy looked embarrassed and then sent a sword strike towards Malcolm in the exact center.

    puck!

    Malcolm who was cut in the exact center of the sword scattered like coal dust and disappeared. The remaining four Malcolms grinned.

    “It is basic to move the position of the body at the same time as casting. Aren’t you thinking too easily?”

    Tsusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss—

    Susss-

    The four Malcolms split once again to become eight Malcolms. The eight Malcolms split again to become sixteen Malcolms.

    “this!”

    The boy surrounded on all sides looked around. Sixteen Malcolms spoke at the same time.

    “Looking at him using a sword he must be Naburang a mercenary hired by the Lord of Parona right? but.”

    Ta-da-da-da-da-da!

    Soon all the doppelgängers rushed at the red-haired boy.

    “This time I met the wrong person!”

    Cheok!

    “I am not a fool!”

    The boy charged forward with his sword in front of him. After cutting down two clones with simple movements he lowers his body to avoid an attack from behind. The body was rotated strongly around the hind foot.

    “My name is Arthur Blemann!”

    The sword flashed like a crescent moon and at the same time the six doppelgängers scattered like coal dust.

    Taaat!

    As his body rushed towards the river line and stopped in a wide sword swing countless sword marks were drawn on the bodies of the remaining doppelgängers left behind.

    chuck!

    He gently lowered his sword and sheathed it.

    “Undeservedly I inherited the title of Mercenary King!”

    Click!

    The moment the sword was delivered the sword image flashed like an explosion. All the doppelgängers turned to dust and were scattered fleetingly.

    ‘…You bastard.’

    Malcolm frowned.

    That thing just now was definitely pitch black.

    ‘Was he a necromancer?’

    Besides a guy this young is the king of mercenaries.

    I’ve heard rumors. But was the name of the mercenary king ‘Arthur’? No matter how much I think about it I think it was a different name.

    “Give up!”

    Arthur threw a sword strike and Malcolm’s troubled body was split in half.

    When Arthur clicked his tongue and turned around there were ten more Malcolms in the same pose.

    ‘I don’t know if he’s the real mercenary king or not but this guy named Arthur is stronger than I thought. It is difficult to subdue it in a short period of time.’

    Malcolm’s gaze as he continued to worry glanced towards the museum.

    ‘Especially on the day Simon Pollentia comes down after hearing the commotion it’s all over. Let’s get out of here.’

    “I won’t keep falling victim to the same methods!”

    Arthur shouted excitedly and stretched out his left arm.

    Jet black like ink flowed from his grasp scattering in the air and soon settling into a magic circle.

    <Moon Head>

    Arthur held the sword with both hands and cut down the magic circle.

    Then a silver-colored wind spread out over a wide area.

    Sigh!

    Sigh!

    All doppelgängers that came into range were hit and disappeared.

    “Ugh!”

    And among these doppelgangers was Malcolm’s body. Phew! Phew! As the sound was heard scratch-like wounds appeared all over the arms and legs and blood splattered out.

    ‘You bastard! ‘To the extent of range!’

    “Found it!”

    Arthur immediately got off the ground and lunged at Malcolm.

    Since it is still within the influence of the razor-sharp wind it will take a hit and disappear if it uses a doppelganger.

    “……I can’t help it.”

    Malcolm said that and took out something that looked like a bottle from his pocket.

    “It looks like you’ve thoroughly investigated the Randolph Gang so you know what this is right?”

    Arthur’s eyes widened sharply as he rushed forward.

    ‘Liquid bomb!’

    It was a special explosive made by the Randolph gang that exploded in response to pitch darkness. Malcolm poured jet black into the liquid bomb without hesitation.

    Kiiiiing!

    A dazzling flash of light erupted fiercely from the liquid bomb. Arthur slammed on the brakes and stopped.

    “Now wait a minute! If you do that you too…!”

    Malcolm’s appearance was obscured by the emitted flash of light so it was hard to see but what was barely visible was a bitter smile on his face.

    “it’s okay. I’m sick of life like this now.”

    “Oh no!!”

    Wow!

    Eventually the liquid bomb exploded.

    Arthur’s body fell apart from the aftereffects. I belatedly strengthened my legs planted my sword on the floor then raised my head and looked ahead.

    “Malcolm Randolph!!”

    There was thick black smoke rising from the site of the explosion. Arthur stood with a dazed expression for a moment then fell to one knee on the floor.

    “What a fool!”

    He hit the floor hard with his fist.

    “You just have to pay for your crimes in prison! How can you kill yourself! Was your life so worthless that you gave it up so easily!”

    Arthur screamed loudly but of course there was no answer.

    “I was only planning on suppressing it! It was a lie that I was going to blow my head off! why!!”

    Arthur hit the floor several times as if blaming himself.

    After blaming himself for a while he activated the crystal ball on his arm with a blank expression.

    Ugh!

    A blurry silhouette of a woman appeared in the crystal ball.

    -Hey mercenary king! I was watching and waiting. Did you catch Malcolm?

    “I’m sorry.”

    In a tearful voice Arthur lifted the crystal ball and showed the scene of the explosion.

    “Malcolm Randolph committed suicide. I could have stopped it! I could have stopped it!!”

    -…….

    Perhaps it was a specially modified artifact but it seemed like Arthur’s side could be seen from the woman’s side.

    however.

    The woman in the crystal sphere was silent for a moment as she watched the explosion.

    -……Hey you idiot.

    “yes?”

    -That’s just a smoke bomb!!

    Arthur was startled and stood up.

    “Really?”

    -okay! Is there a bomb like that in the world that just blows out smoke without anything?

    When Arthur swung his sword and cut through the smoke from the explosion Malcolm had disappeared without a trace. As she said for a bomb the damage to the surrounding area was minor.

    “Huh? That can’t be possible……”

    Arthur made a dumb expression.

    -That can’t be possible!

    “Clearly the profile says to be careful because he has a vicious liquid bomb… There was no mention of a smoke bomb! It’s real!”

    -Ugh! This is frustrating!

    “If I had been told to be careful with smoke bombs I wouldn’t have been fooled!”

    -You are actually not the mercenary king but the fool king!

    Arthur lowered his head with a sullen expression and the woman shouted angrily.

    -I can’t live! Find out how to find Malcolm before he does something! hurry!

    “Yes yes!”

    * * *

    Meanwhile Simon and his group had left the museum and were walking down the market street.

    “Ugh! It was fun!”

    Meilin who was walking ahead stretched out. Simon asked looking at D i c k.

    “Where are you going next D i c k?”

    “I’m planning to go to ‘Whale Hill’ in advance.”

    Camivarez blinked when he heard those words.

    “Isn’t that where Deimos will go tomorrow when it passes the sea?”

    “Yes but. Even without Deimos the scenery is great. I wanted to go for a walk and come back.”

    “no way! Anyway if we’re going tomorrow let’s just go back to the hotel!”

    Maylin said with sparkling eyes.

    “In fact while listening to the explanation of the museum I was so excited about the student council that I thought I was going crazy! Let’s have a meeting at the hotel!”

    “……Aren’t you working too hard when you haven’t even started your student council activities yet?”

    “Of course you have to work hard.”

    Meilin’s shoulders felt tense.

    “I will carry the 330th student council! We will make it the best student council ever to be talked about in the future!”

    “I’m starting to get tired already. If Simon becomes student council president in his third year let’s make the vice president a quiet kid. Lorraine or something.”

    “Can you stay in Keygen until your third year? You 400th place commoner!”

    “Don’t you two fight again!”

    Simon laughed as he always saw the same scene.

    “There is cool ice cream~”

    At that moment I saw a merchant walking carrying a container of ice cream. Meilin smiled happily.

    “Don’t you get a little craving for sweets?”

    “It’s good let’s buy it and eat it.”

    “mister!”

    Meilin ran. The merchant also found her and spoke.

    “Welcome! Pretty student.”

    “Please give me four ice creams….”

    puck!

    Fresh blood spurted from the merchant’s body.

    Hot blood splashed on her face and the expressions of D i c k and Camivarez who were walking behind her also hardened.

    -Kyaak.

    There was something green behind it with sharp claws extending out and its eyes flashing.

    The merchant fell and it approached Meilin. Suddenly she was covered in blood frozen like a stone statue and unable to move.

    Wow!

    The first to react was of course Simon. His kick raised the monster’s arm.

    D i c k then came to his senses took out a dagger from his belt and threw it. The enchanted daggers were stabbed into the monster’s body one after another and Camivarez jumped in his purple hair flying.

    <Blood Strike>

    Quang!

    The monster struck in the abdomen by her hand with a magic circle flew and hit the wall of the building and Meilin swung her arms with her eyes flashing fiercely.

    <Ice Bolt>

    Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

    Lastly the monster stuck in Meilin’s ice sculpture died. Meilin who reflexively cast a spell stumbled and sat down in her seat.

    “Me Meirin!”

    Simon came over in surprise. She raised her palm to signal that it was okay.

    “sorry. I was just surprised.”

    She muttered that and waved her hand. A magic circle was formed one after another in the air sending ice flying into the air.

    Pow! puck! puck!

    As blood fell from the sky Simon raised his head in surprise. Before I knew it the other green monsters surrounding me were pierced by the ice pick.

    “Huh!”

    ” Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    Tourists and merchants who saw the monster’s corpse ran away screaming.

    “Ha I was surprised.”

    Meirin grumbled and approached the fallen monster.

    “Naga. Although they live in the sea they can also walk on land. Weak individuals have a level of danger of level 2 and strong ones have a level of risk of level 3. But why are they in the city?”

    Camivarez closed his eyes and sniffed.

    “Simon! There’s the same smell of blood everywhere. Nagas are raiding the entire Farona Peninsula!”

    Simon thought for a moment and looked at D i c k.

    “D i c k. Do you have any guesses?”

    “Well that’s right.”

    D i c k stood up.

    “Basically Nagas absolutely obey the orders of an entity called ‘Naga Queen’ level 5 danger. Should I call it ‘alpha’? Since the Nagas only obey the wavelength of the Naga Queen they are also free from the wavelength of Deimos the ruler of the sea.”

    Meilin received the word.

    “I don’t know why but the Naga Queens came to the Parona Peninsula? The queens may have united.”

    “good.”

    Simon said.

    “Everyone change into Kizen uniforms and split into three groups to protect the people.”

    “Simon are you?”

    “I’ll have to wander around a little wider and find and catch the queen. and.”

    Simon’s mind recalled a man he had seen at the Deimos Museum.

    “There is one thing I want to check.”
