Whirlpool 2

Crack!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The high barricade was collapsing uncontrollably, as if giants were stomping on it. The shattered pieces flew in all directions.

And then-

Crash-

The barricade fell.

Nearly a hundred mercenaries were revealed.

These were the same men who hadn’t flinched at the sight of the kingdom’s great sage, Baserabab, but now their faces were pale with terror.

They ran as if a man-eating predator was chasing them, discarding their weapons.

“Aaaaaaah!”

“No! If we die like this, our souls will be dragged to hell! We can’t die by his hand! Run away!”

The mercenaries ran for their lives.

“Whoa, whoa.”

Joint urgently pulled the reins, stopping the carriage.

He took out a double wand from his chest, a wand made of steel. It was used to enhance magic, but it also possessed considerable power in close combat.

However, the mercenaries didn’t attack the carriage. They were running away, abandoning their prey.

“What? What is it?”

The Guardian Magic Trio soon understood why.

Rattle, rattle-

A demon clad in full armor appeared through the collapsed barricade. The Guardian Magic Trio, struck by his fierce gaze, involuntarily stepped back.

“T-That’s not a human’s gaze.”

“It’s Beelzebub! It’s definitely the demon lord Beelzebub! His appearance is very similar to what I saw in the demon encyclopedia.”

The Guardian Magic Trio gathered their magic with extreme tension.

They thought they were escaping the wolves… but a demon lord, a hundred times more terrifying, had appeared.

The demon lord was after the soul of the great sage, Baserabab.

They absolutely couldn’t allow that to happen.

Oh, King! How far are you going to fall!

Well, I guess this is our fate.

Yes, let’s die here.

Glory to Baserabab!

Rattle, rattle.

Legion finally found the legendary great sage, Baserabab. Now is the crucial moment. Enemies were everywhere.

To save them….

“Huh?”

Legion was horrified to see dozens of spells flying towards him.

Why are they doing this?

* * *

Draeger arrived at the gates of the port city of Siem.

“What’s with this atmosphere?”

Draeger had been to the port city of Siem before. As a city with developed commerce, the gates were always open.

Some say this about the port city of Siem:

– A good place to say goodbye at the docks.

– A good place to go on a honeymoon and cheat with another pretty woman.

– The city with the highest divorce rate.

Why?

Because it’s beautiful.

The night view was known to be more beautiful than the kingdom’s capital. Thanks to this, a large crowd gathers. The port city of Siem was a frequent destination for young nobles who liked the hustle and bustle.

That’s why the gates were always open.

Security wasn’t usually this tight.

That’s why Draeger tilted his head. He strode up to the guard and asked.

“What’s going on in the city?”

The guard was startled to see Draeger.

He was surprised by Draeger’s fierce face, and twice surprised by his pigtails. It was the first time he’d seen such an unbalanced style.

The guard couldn’t forgive Draeger with that hairstyle. Irritation surged.

“Hey, you bastard, get out of here! What, you pervert!”

“You’re not talking to me, are you?”

“Are you deaf? You, you, you, I’m talking about you!”

The guard poked Draeger’s chest with his index finger.

“Hoo.”

Draeger took a deep breath. He really tried to live kindly.

Crash!

He destroyed the entire gate.

* * *

Legion was horrified.

Dozens of storms of fire and ice, not just one, were falling from above.

“Magic Defense!”

Legion deployed a barrier, but the storms of fire and ice were too powerful.

Those crazy old men were pouring out their magic like they were ending their lives.

Crack-

Legion’s barrier broke in an instant.

“Shield! Shield!”

He deployed several more barriers, but it was useless.

The storms of fire and ice struck Legion’s head directly.

Boom!

A huge explosion occurred, and a tremendous amount of steam spewed out in all directions.

“Not yet! The demon lord’s magic isn’t decreasing!”

“To think he could block the combined attack of the three of us so easily.”

“Be careful! His magic is getting stronger!”

The voices of the Guardian Magic Trio were severely hardened.

“What the hell is going on! All of a sudden!”

The one who was actually annoyed was Legion.

Just because he was wearing a helmet didn’t mean the Iron Head’s powerful defense had gone anywhere. He dissipated all the attacks from the Guardian Magic Trio with his scalp. But because he was inside the helmet, he had to swallow all the heat and cold inside.

Half of Legion’s face was flushed red, and the other half turned pale.

Thanks to this, Legion’s eyes became as terrifying as anything in the world.

As the steam cleared, Legion’s appearance became visible.

The faces of the Guardian Magic Trio, who served Baserabab, turned white.

“I was wrong. He wasn’t a demon lord. That man is a descendant of the legendary Dragon Slayer Asura Count.”

“A-Asura Count?”

“Look at that appearance. Half of his face is completely different. According to legend, he mastered two powers at the same time, and that’s how he became like that. To think that a descendant of Asura Count would appear. Is God really abandoning our kingdom?”

“Baserabab. Did you see that? He’s a descendant of Asura Count. It seems the Continent King has even brought in such a person.”

“Hehehe. That crazy Continent King. No matter how greedy he is for the throne, to think he would even bring in a descendant of Asura Count. I misjudged him. His desire is a volcano.”

Baserabab clenched his teeth.

“I will not leave you behind.”

“You must go. Please go. Baserabab must live for the future of the kingdom.”

“But how can I run away alone, leaving you who have been with me all my life?”

“It’s not running away. It’s for the sake of the kingdom. It’s for the young crown prince. Don’t grieve our deaths. We’re just going when it’s time to go.”

“Hehehe. You foolishly loyal ones….”

“…….”

What a joke.

Legion was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even speak.

Are those old men out of their minds?

Where do I look like the demon lord Beelzebub? And to top it off, Asura Count? That Asura Count I saw in the books? The dragon slayer with half of his face a woman and half a man?

It’s really going too far.

“Hey, grandpas. I’m not that.”

Legion said with a sigh.

The Guardian Magic Trio was horrified to hear his voice. They squeezed out magic until their dantian [energy center] shattered. It seemed they were determined to fight Legion to the death.

“The voice of Sergeant Kim who returned from hell….”

“Go. Baserabab. I don’t know how long we can hold him off….”

“Arrogant demon! Our souls will never kneel to the likes of you.”

The Guardian Magic Trio unleashed the most powerful attack magic they could. The anesthesia hadn’t worn off, but now wasn’t the time to worry about that.

“Fire Dragon!”

“Woman outside the window!”

Powerful magic once again crashed down on Legion.

Legion was so annoyed that he swung his iron sword with all his might. Without realizing it, he also shouted the activation phrase for the one-hit kill option.

Boom!

The carriage was smashed to pieces-

The four old men, already weakened by the poison and having consumed a tremendous amount of magic, couldn’t withstand the wind pressure and collapsed.

* * *

Clatter, clatter-

Marquis Forsse rode his horse along the coastal road.

Behind him followed the Ferrari Knights, Marquis Forsse’s personal guard.

The aura they exuded was as sharp as swords.

Marquis Forsse stopped.

Originally, this was the place to snipe Baserabab as he fled.

But it couldn’t be used for its original purpose.

Starting with the clock tower, dozens of buildings had all collapsed.

None of the snipers survived there.

Someone caught Marquis Forsse’s eye. It was Law School and his bodyguards.

When Marquis Forsse flicked his fingers, two knights rushed like birds to the fallen Law School. They checked Law School’s condition. Soon, they ran to Marquis Forsse, bowed, and said.

“He’s dead.”

“A sword?”

“No. He was hit by magic.”

“Magic?”

Marquis Forsse tilted his head.

The rest was all destruction by the sword. It’s really an incredible force. It’s clear that an incredible swordsman appeared and swept through this place.

He was also a 7-star knight.

He knew how great the skill of the Death Butcher Don Deckman was.

He had seen him from afar.

His subordinates’ descriptions of him, which he initially thought were an overreaction, made him understand why his subordinates reacted that way.

He really was… a monstrous presence.

A man with an incredible record of murder.

Don Deckman was clearly a murder addict. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such hideous eyes and bloodlust.

Even though they were both 7-star, he never wanted to cross swords with him.

Just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you should be respected unconditionally. Because human trash like Don Deckman exists. He was just curious how that trash got that immense power.

But one thing is certain.

He might use magic.

Then who the hell?

“Any witnesses?”

“None.”

“There aren’t any witnesses on this wide coastal road? Does that make sense?”

“I’m sorry. For now, we’re arresting all the street vendors and asking them… but they say there wasn’t anyone here at the time.”

“Why wasn’t anyone there?”

“That’s….”

“I asked why no one was there.”

“They were scared.”

“Of whom?”

“Of Don Deckman….”

“…….”

Marquis Forsse swallowed. Yes, the bloodlust that the human butcher Don Deckman exudes cannot be endured by ordinary people.

It would be stranger if they could endure it.

“So no one saw Law School die?”

“I’m sorry.”

Marquis Forsse rubbed his forehead. The plan was perfect. It was like a domino. Once it starts, it never stops. It doesn’t get cut off in the middle either.

The domino stopped when Baserabab took all the blame and died.

The great sage Baserabab should have disappeared after committing the worst crime of noble murder.

But-

Where did things go wrong?

Did Don Deckman suddenly betray him?

No.

That was well within the range of prediction. He had prepared a backup plan in case he betrayed him. Nevertheless, things went wrong.

There was only one reason.

Don Deckman’s power was stronger than he thought. As a result, the mercenaries’ formation collapsed.

The mercenaries, chased by Don Deckman, turned pale and shouted.

“It’s a demon! A demon attacked us from behind! What he’s holding isn’t a sword. It was like hellfire. We didn’t run away to live. If we die by his hand, our souls will be taken. We won’t be able to reincarnate.”

Marquis Forsse frowned.

He first cut off the heads of the mercenaries who had fled. And he said to the mercenaries, holding their heads.

“If you run away again, I’ll destroy your souls right now. Do you think I can’t do it? I am Marquis Forsse.”

The mercenaries were frightened. Only then did they realize who they had been hired by.

The mercenaries reorganized their ranks.

But it was already too late. Don Deckman, Baserabab, and the Guardian Magic Trio had broken through the encirclement and run away.

But they wouldn’t have gone far.

“I found them.”

The rangers rushed over. They knelt on one knee and prostrated themselves.

“Where did they go?”

Marquis Forsse asked.

“They’ve hidden in the underground market.”

“The underground market?”

“Yes, witnesses are appearing everywhere. It’s definitely the Death Butcher Don Deckman.”

Marquis Forsse’s eyes twitched.

Of all places….

They jumped into the most troublesome place.

It was a place that even Marquis Forsse was reluctant to go to. He hated the dark streets.

“Damn it, gather the entire army. Everyone enters the underground market.”
