    Episode 442

    The Parona Peninsula which had been in a festive mood turned into a terrible sight due to the attack by the Naga horde.

    The blue moonflowers blooming on the street turned red with blood.

    The market which had been bustling with laughter and chatter was filled with screams.

    <Born Armor>

    Simon’s arms moved frantically. Following his hand gesture eight skeletons scatter and hit the bodies of the fleeing tourists! It was put on.

    Simon gestured again and their bodies rose into the air and were carried behind a safe hill.

    “Run!”

    Simon shouted.

    After coming to his senses he repeatedly removed the original armor from the tourists running and put it on the bodies of the next residents and helped them escape.

    First of all the top priority was to evacuate people to the ‘Lord Castle’ guarded by Meilin. D i c k and Camivarez will also be evacuating people from their respective locations.

    ‘Anyway what happened to this situation?’

    Simon put the jet black on his leg and kicked the approaching Naga in the abdomen. Naga flies far away and hits a nearby street vendor! It hit with a sound.

    A few Nagas were seen right behind that street vendor. Simon immediately took a defensive stance but those Nagas were just running forward as if possessed regardless of whether their compatriots were dead or not.

    ‘The direction in which the Nagas move is constant.’

    The Nagas did not persistently pursue those who ran away.

    The focus is on ‘movement with a purpose’ rather than ‘hunting’. However since there was a city and people in the middle the Nagas that caught the attention were scattered around at random creating a mess.

    ‘D i c k said the Naga Queen would have come.’

    With a number of this size at least 20 Naga Queens should have entered the peninsula. But Simon has not seen a single Naga Queen until now.

    ‘It feels uncomfortable as expected.’

    With that in mind Simon arrived at the Parona Deimos Museum.

    Came back here again.

    Simon walked to the front of the museum and opened the door.

    Shake! Shake!

    The door is locked.

    To be exact it looks like the door handle was tied with a chain or something and locked with a padlock.

    Shake! Shake!

    Simon shook the door again to locate the lock.

    ‘Is this about it?’

    Place your right fist against the door close your eyes and let the pitch black fill your fist.

    Then he slowly pulls his fist against the door and takes a stance. It’s been a while since I used Hongfeng’s penetrator.

    <Hongfeng Original – Heavenly Terror>

    Boom!

    The blow went right into the lock on the other side of the door. Tuk. I heard the sound of a broken lock falling to the floor.

    When Simon pushed the door hard the sound of the chain being loosened was heard and the door opened.

    “……!”

    The guards were down inside the museum.

    Simon quickly closed the door and chained the handle to prevent any intruders from entering. Next I checked the condition of the fallen guards.

    ‘He’s not dead.’

    Everyone had fainted.

    There are signs of being hit on the back of the head chin and abdomen. It is strange to say that it is a Naga attack that tears the enemy with sharp claws.

    Simon kept his mouth shut and walked slowly.

    ‘There is definitely an intruder. Why did they break into the museum and why did they have to knock out the guards?’

    To take advantage of this chaos and take something of value.

    If you think about it that way the most valuable object in this museum was one.

    -It is said to be an enormous paleontological asset that is difficult to put a value on! The tooth was damaged so the museum director filled it with real gold! This is a masterpiece that can only be seen at the Deimos Museum on the Parona Peninsula!

    ‘To the fourth floor!’

    Simon quickly ran up the stairs and opened the door to the fourth floor.

    Shake!

    ‘thank god.’

    Simon was relieved. Deimos’s most valuable skull was still intact.

    But the relief was short-lived.

    ‘!’

    A flashing silver light was approaching from the side.

    Shoo!

    Simon instinctively arched his back.

    Extreme concentration is exerted time slows down and cognition becomes solid.

    What you can see is a sharp spear blade. Then as you move your gaze along the window sill what you finally see is a blonde man.

    Simon grabbed the spear as it passed him with his left hand and slightly changed the direction of the tip of the spear.

    puck!

    The tip of the spear pierced the body of another man approaching from the left.

    ‘There is more than one opponent.’

    Next he kicks the knee of the opponent holding the spear with his right leg snatches his weapon and swings it. The two men in front are cut down by the blade of a spear.

    All four men look the same.

    Pow! pop!

    The men disappear like coal dust at the same time under Simon’s attack. At the same time ‘pop!’ And I hear the sound of something being cut overhead.

    Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    The chandelier from the ceiling comes down towards Simon. Simon easily raised his left fist above his head.

    <Hongfeng Original – Chwita>

    Yes!!!

    Simon’s fist hit the center of the chandelier which was falling in a straight line.

    The chandelier shattered with a loud bang and the sparkling jewel fragments scattered like grains of sand.

    “What is this?”

    Simon said lowering his fist with an indifferent expression.

    “Malcolm Randolph.”

    Muffled laughter was heard in the shadows of the unlit exhibition hall.

    Soon a boy with the same appearance as those who attacked Simon emerged from the darkness.

    “It’s been a while. Simon Pollentia.”

    Simon frowned at the fact that his prediction was correct.

    An artificial Naga swarm attack.

    Museum invasion.

    And Malcolm Randolph.

    That means in the end-

    “This whole Naga attack was planned by Randolph’s gang right?”

    Malcolm just laughed and didn’t reply.

    “Calm down Malcolm. You are Keygen.”

    “no.”

    Malcolm’s expression hardened.

    “Not anymore.”

    Simon’s head quickly turned at those words.

    “Are you thinking of quitting Keygen?”

    “I am a human being of the organization. If performance is inadequate you must take responsibility.”

    responsibility. Malcolm said those words and brushed his bangs.

    “The ranking fell from 10th to 128th and the liquid bomb controversy caused damage to the organization. I just take responsibility. And all these snowballs-”

    His cloudy eyes turned to Simon.

    “It started with the duel evaluation with you.”

    “…….”

    “Isn’t it ironic?”

    Simon slightly lowered his eyes at Malcolm’s question.

    “……Fuck you.”

    Simon’s attitude stimulated Malcolm.

    “What do you sympathize with now?”

    It was definitely not something I said to get sympathy.

    From Malcolm’s perspective it was like that.

    Human behavior patterns are standardized.

    When you say good morning the other person also receives good morning greetings. When a lady shows the back of her hand the gentleman kisses her.

    Even if you don’t agree there are times when what you have to say next is decided.

    That was the case now.

    Simon should have said this:

    Is this a problem that we should blame others for now?

    The reason you failed the skill-based Keygen is because of your skills.

    It would have been better if I had been sarcastic and ridiculed.

    “I am-”

    Simon’s mouth opened.

    “I don’t pity you.”

    Malcolm’s forehead was crackled and full of veins.

    “You’re really good at getting on people’s nerves aren’t you? uh?”

    A vein appeared in Malcolm’s neck.

    “I know I know I know! My skills are not good enough! My efforts weren’t enough! For no reason I overdid it during your final decision and ended up like this. But the human heart is so treacherous.”

    His eyes turned gloomy.

    “Why do I keep wanting to blame you?”

    Tsusssssssss-!

    Afterimages appeared on Malcolm’s body and scattered into several directions. Simon’s eyes lit up.

    “Calm down Malcolm!”

    “I heard your friends talking earlier. They called you Chairman. Are you sure you became the student council president?”

    Simon kept his mouth shut.

    “Uh what is it? Looking at your expression does it look like it’s real? haha! I’m doing well you bastard.”

    Malcolm’s shoulders shook.

    “I don’t think there was that big of a difference at the beginning of the semester. Some people are treated like useless children and end up stealing again. Someone went on to become the student council president of Keygen. Wow even if you’re still in your teens your life can change so easily.”

    He was spouting self-deprecating words and stumbled touching his forehead.

    “……What happened? This is the only way for me now. If I fail I will die at the hands of the organization.”

    Tadat!

    Ta-da-da-da-da!

    Twenty doppelgängers rushed towards Simon.

    “This time you will step on me for your ambition right? The student council president of Kizen was here so it would be difficult if the damage increased. uh?”

    fault!

    The leading doppelganger threw out a jet-black fist.

    “Malcolm. Don’t do anything you’ll regret.”

    “Are you going to discipline me because I’m the student council president?”

    Boom!

    Simon avoided it just by moving his shoulders while standing still.

    Boom! Buaaang!

    Another fist came in one after another but I avoided it with minimal movement by bending my knees and slightly tilting my head.

    “XBaaal! Playing with people…!”

    Jump!

    Simon’s leg went up and kicked the chin of the doppelganger who was shouting like that.

    Sigh! Pow!

    The fist struck the doppelgangers’ philtrums and shoulders leaving an afterimage. Two more people were scattered like powder.

    Hot! Hot!

    At that time the doppelgangers came in from behind and grabbed Simon’s legs.

    “Khaaaaap!”

    The last four doppelgängers who came in threw out their hidden spears.

    “Opening.”

    As Simon chanted softly six sub-spaces opened around him.

    Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    Sigh!

    The Overlord’s legs made of metal and bone popped out. The blades cut down the surrounding doppelgängers and rose up in a flower bud as if wrapping around Simon.

    All the doppelgängers were deleted and only the lost spears floating in the air clattered to the floor.

    “I was wondering when I was going to take that out.”

    Malcolm’s main body which was watching from behind stiffened its expression.

    Susss-

    Simon was seen standing unharmed between the six blades that were twisting and shaking like snakes.

    “Malcolm. Give up now and take over the Nagas.”

    “I should have said it earlier! This is the only way now!”

    Malcolm created a doppelganger again and sent it to him.

    “If you want something trample on it and get it! Just like Keygen!”

    Malcolm seemed to have no intention of quitting the fight.

    I couldn’t help it. Simon summoned the Overlords to subspace and then drew a magic circle on his palm. Attached to the side he continued working on the magic circle and took out new undead.

    “Come out.”

    Six regular skeletons and one skeleton archer and mage each appeared.

    chuck!

    When Simon lowered his palm all the skeletons were disconnected and collapsed and when he raised his palm again hundreds of pieces of bone flew into the air.

    <Born Nail>

    Bone fragments scattered in all directions and stuck in the body of the approaching doppelganger.

    Piece by piece each piece was controlled by Simon’s orders and all the doppelgängers were pierced through the bones and disappeared.

    ‘The doppelganger’s weakness is durability.’

    It can be destroyed with just a few effective hits without the need to use a lot of force.

    While preparing for high-level black magic it was enough to spread the main nail for defense.

    puck! puck! puck!

    In fact twenty doppelgangers disappeared faster than when using Overlord.

    Malcolm gritted his teeth and created twenty doppelgängers again and sent them out.

    ‘And the second weakness.’

    Simon put his hands behind his back.

    Good!

    As if he had been waiting the bow used by the skeleton archer came into Simon’s hands. An arrow was held in the other hand.

    After finishing reloading at high speed.

    Peeing!

    An enchanted arrow was fired. Malcolm who was concentrating on controlling the doppelganger urgently lowered his head to avoid it.

    Wow!

    The arrow stuck in the wall trembled and then stopped.

    ‘If you drop your foot you can’t control your doppelganger. Evasion is unstable.’

    “This bastard!”

    The defense was left to ‘Born Nail’ and he repeatedly fired arrows lightly as if to keep them in check.

    Simon also had considerable skill with a bow. All the arrows were aimed at the head.

    “Ugh!”

    In the end Malcolm also changed his tactics. I took out a potion from subspace and threw it and the doppelgängers caught it and ran towards me.

    ‘Liquid bomb?’

    The doppelgängers threw the potion in their hands into the air even as they were being pierced by the nail.

    Jang! Jang!

    The potion broke on its own and the liquid spread out and landed on the skeleton’s bones.

    The bone fragments floating in the air swayed and fell to the ground.

    ‘This!’

    “It’s Kabara’s poison!”

    Malcolm shouted casting black magic again.

    “Neutralize the remaining jet blackness in the bones and make them temporarily incapable of restoration! Don’t you think I didn’t guard against summoning majors!”

    When the main nail was neutralized Malcolm pretended to push forward with his palms together.

    A special move of its own that was originally planned to be used during the second-year duel evaluation.

    <Malcolm Original – Decouple Doppelganger>

    Thump thump thump thump!

    Ten doppelgängers came out in a mess. Moving like a centipede with its feet and legs it rushed at Simon with incredible speed.

    ‘I won!’

    Malcolm’s mouth trembled with excitement.

    ‘Even if I cut it with the Overlord’s blade! If they disperse into small objects!’

    Wow!

    But it wasn’t a blade.

    The black fireballs hit the doppelganger chimera one after another causing an explosion and burning it up entirely.

    Sigh.

    Simon raised his index finger with a calm face.

    Four skeleton mage skulls flew into the sky. Emerald-colored smoke enveloped the skull forming the shape of a small sun.

    <Simon Original – Skuldrone>

    The high-level black magic that Simon was preparing was neither chaos nor the SS.

    There is no better solution than Skuldron which fires jet-black flames at Doppelganger who is vulnerable to wide-range magic.

    “Let’s end this Malcolm.”
