Night of the Soulless Heathens – 252



#252. The Knights’ Secret Weapon 6

When the lights are on even the doppelgangers don’t dare challenge her because of the herald clan’s ability to specialize in killing. But in this darkness?

I might try to provoke Bernard’s magic attack but should I turn on the light?

Or should I raise my guard and wait in the darkness a little longer wary of those approaching?

But then suddenly a fire broke out.

The Countach knocked the lamp over.

The lamp that Bernard had just magically extinguished was a lamp with a metal wick. The fire started when the heated wick fell on the wad of paper.

“Oh my god fuck.”

Camilla who was watching swore.

“Run away!”

Bernard used his blood magic to make the doppelganger’s corpse rush backwards while he headed for the exit.

“Oh my god! They’re setting the fire! The goods are burning! We have to put out the fire!”

The manager was shocked when the fire spread to the goods.

*********

“What is this?”

Arriving at the entrance of Van Dyke’s Azadin met Countach Camilla and Bernard who were emerging with arrows lodged in them.

“Hey Azadin!”

Camilla was angry.

“Did you know that this is a company run by the Jeonryeong Clan?”

Otherwise he wouldn’t have sent his subordinates first. If that were the case it would have been good if he had given them some kind of warning in advance but Azadin didn’t do anything like that and just threw them into Yongdamhohyeol.

“Shh. Be quiet. You’re making noises that will cause trouble.”

Azadin said this and examined Countach’s condition.

The arrow was lodged but the wound was not deep perhaps because the muscles were so strong or because the archer’s strength was not that great.

“Bernard. What’s going on?”

“I met my doppelganger inside.”

“A doppelganger?”

At that moment Azadin’s mind became complicated.

Doppelgangers disguised themselves as Fireglyph soldiers and attacked Izmilla and the Survey Corps.

And in the end it was the northern Aragasas who kidnapped Izmila.

Azadin naturally assumed that the Northern Aragats and their doppelgangers were in the same group but it turned out that the Northern Aragats were on a different team from their doppelgangers.

‘They’re the only ones who got the benefit of the doubt. How funny. Is this?’

Azadin has already betrayed the Herald Clan. No from Azadin’s perspective the Clan has betrayed the Emperor’s Herald. Currently Azadin is the only one with legitimacy as the Emperor’s Herald.

The clan betrayed Azadin.

Nevertheless the pride of the Northern Aragasa is hurt by the fact that those strange cousins ​​hit the back of the clan’s head and took only the target.

‘Even if they are my clan and the Cheokjin clan the Northern Aragasas should have won. No I shouldn’t be offended by something like this.’

The human mind is a complicated thing. Although Azadin was bullied as a loser he could not stand the fact that the messenger clan that had been bullying him was being toyed around by the forces of Northern Aragasa and Northern Qi.

But now is not the time to be swayed by such strange feelings.

“Bernard can I have the Countach please?”

“Yes. Pick it.”

“then.”

Azadin pulled out the arrow embedded in Countach’s body in one stroke. Countach screamed but Bernard cast a spell and touched Countach’s wound and in an instant a scab formed over the wound.

“Hey! Countach! Are you okay?”

“It’ll be okay since you have such strong vitality. Then let’s go.”

“No there’s no need for that.”

Azadin stepped forward.

The female manager of Van Dyke’s appeared among the servants who were putting out the burning fire.

“uh…?”

But she was embarrassed when she saw Azadin’s face.

“Oh Lady Arael?! How could that be? You….”

“Is that Delia? You’ve grown so much.”

Azadin noticed her and frowned.

A junior of Azadin two years younger and two ranks lower.

She was a female junior who admired Arael for her beauty and ability and hated Azadin just as much.

It seems that he was safe because he failed to become a messenger and instead became a servant and participated in the management of the company.

She came to her senses.

Even though Azadin had a face similar to Arael his voice was clearly different.

“Ugh. Azadin!? Why are you in the form of Lady Arael?”

“They look alike because they’re twins.”

“No! That’s not what I’m talking about…”

“But answer my question. Why did you target Sir Izmilla?”

“You traitor to your clan you shameless one! Where the hell do you think you are!”

She fired arrows at Azadin but he caught them easily and stuck them into his quiver.

The normal arrows fired by Delia were no threat to Azadin at all.

-Flowers birds wind moon yellow cranes!

Realizing that her arrows could not stop Azadin Delia immediately cast the Yellow Crane’s magic.

The arrows move freely and their power also increases explosively.

Delia fired an arrow at the Yellow Crane causing it to divert greatly while she herself casted the Flower Bird Wind and Moon spell and appeared in front of Azadin.

Behind Azadin an arrow was fired and in front it was Delia herself who struck Azadin with her sword.

However from Azadin’s perspective Delia’s skills which were not even enough to become a messenger were insignificant.

“Are you in your right mind?”

Azadin grabbed Delia’s wrist and struck the arrow flying behind her with her sword.

“Whoa!”

The steel sword broke into five pieces in Delia’s hand.

The broken blades represented how incredibly powerful the arrows imbued with the power of the Yellow Crane had and how much of a shock it must have been to Delia who had to receive all of that power with her own arm.

Delia immediately drew her new dagger and tried to deal with Azadin but Azadin lightly struck her torso with his shoulder sending her flying backwards about a length and rolling on the ground.

“Ugh! That’s ridiculous!”

Delia was shocked to realize that Azadin’s skills far surpassed her own.

In the past when he was a regular trainee Azadin was no match for her who was his junior in the second batch.

How did the one who was everyone’s laughing stock the Azadin of Muan who even his juniors couldn’t beat become so powerful?

What’s even more surprising is that it’s Arael’s appearance.

“You are a traitor to your clan taking away Arael’s appearance and power!”

“Just choose whether you follow Arael or are loyal to the Senate. What could be better? With passersby watching? If you fight here the business operations will be disrupted.”

“….”

Since all the pedestrians in front of the store are watching any further fighting will cause disruption to the store’s operations.

But if Azadin is a traitor to his clan why would he care about running the Vandyke Company?

As Delia looks confused Azadin walks forward.

“what….”

“Let’s stop talking inside. Let’s all go in.”

“Huh? Seriously?!”

Camilla was surprised.

They just escaped from there so how does it make sense to go back in?

But Azadin actually placed a hand on Delia’s shoulder and dragged her into Vandyke’s store.

The doppelgangers who had been stuck inside the store were startled.

“What are you doing? Guests are here. Bring me some tea.”

Azadin instead shouted at his doppelganger.

“Shhh…..”

The doppelganger swung his sword at Azadin making a threatening snake-like noise but Azadin responded with a light slap.

-match!

A lightning-quick slap sent the doppelganger’s cheek spinning and Azadin snatched the sword from his skin before it could touch his own tossing it into the air.

A sword is stuck in the rafters supporting the roof of the store and its tail is wagging.

“next.”

“this!”

-match!

“Next time.”

Azadin slapped the doppelgangers casually and his hands were so fast and sharp that one hit would cause the doppelganger to lose its mind and collapse.

Azadin who had slapped each of the doppelgangers in the face dragged Delia to sit at the table.

“I am Azadin the First Herald of the Emperor. What is the first mission of the Vandyke Company? Isn’t it to assist the herald in his mission? Loyalty to the Senate comes second so at least bring me some tea.”

“…….”

Surprisingly Azadin had come all this way to claim the mission of the messenger and the messenger clan.

The Herald Clan had already abandoned the mission of the Herald and promised to live for their own selfish desires. However Azadin shamelessly brought up the old oath and claimed his rights so he subdued them with a non-lethal attack.

With the skills he just showed if Azadin decides to kill he will be able to kill him in an instant.

In other words Azadin is making a very dignified threat(?).

Will you acknowledge the relationship based on the old covenant?

Or will you die by my hand right now?

If you acknowledge the relationship based on the oath it is by no means humiliating to submit to Azadin and give him various conveniences.

It’s just a mission that has to be done that way.

What if you resist Azadin?

We will all die.

Of course Azadin doesn’t want to kill them. They are his clan after all and he also wants something from them.

Above all if Azadin who is now a member of the Rescue Knights suddenly starts massacring the employees of the company Azadin’s position will become difficult.

‘What should I do?’

‘Should I submit?’

‘This kid can’t kill us. How could he a newbie knight himself wipe out the company without any evidence?’

‘But what we have to bet on in this game is our lives…’

The doppelgangers’ gaze was focused on Delia.

“Fuck. Do it. Do it.”

As the on-site manager Delia spoke the doppelgangers began to pick up the weapons that had fallen on the floor and really started getting into the car.

*********

Not only were the doppelgangers who were being attacked shocked but Azadin’s subordinates who were watching the scene were also dumbfounded.

‘Are you really doing this?’

‘If they’re doppelgangers… aren’t they shapeshifters the kind of demons that only appear in nightmares?’

‘You’re not telling us to drink that tea are you?’

In this situation Camilla Countach and Bernard had no choice but to follow him in.

“I’m sorry about that.”

Bernard died and apologized to his doppelgangers while looking at their corpses.

The doppelgangers asked Delia as they prepared the tea.

“What on earth is going on Branch Manager?”

“Are you the branch manager? You’ve made a name for yourself Delia. By the way are the doppelgangers who are after Sir Izmilla also in league with you? There was a fight at the village inn a little while ago.”

“…That’s funny. Do you think I’d answer?”

Delia glanced at Azadin but her face quickly turned red. She admired Arael so much that she couldn’t come to her senses at Azadin’s appearance which was so similar to Arael.

“That in itself is an answer. Doppelgangers aren’t that common.”

“Then don’t ask and do it yourself. Why are you asking me?”

“I’m going to enjoy seeing your reaction.”

When Azadin said that the thief Camilla burst into laughter.
