Real Bad Guy 1
Napalm and her sisters swallowed hard as they watched Drayzer’s overwhelming skill.
They first saw him in the Vampire Kingdom.
Even back then, his power was unbelievably strong. It was a unique kind of violence that made you wonder if a human could really be that strong.
But still…
Was he always this strong?
Now, they weren’t even sure what ‘strong’ really meant anymore.
The current Drayzer was overwhelmingly powerful, as if he could kill even a god.
It wasn’t like they were unskilled either.
The title of S-class Treasure Hunter wasn’t earned by playing *ttakji* [a Korean slapping game].
Yet, Drayzer’s power made their entire bodies tremble helplessly.
Could he really treat the Black Knights and Black Mages, each possessing tremendous skill, like swatting flies?
“Sister.”
Harpoon stuck close to Napalm. She didn’t look tired. Instead, her puppy-like eyes were filled with fear.
“Yeah.”
“It’s a relief that Drayzer is on our side.”
“Agreed.”
“But why did he do that?”
“What?”
“The pigtails.”
“Yeah.”
“Did he do that on purpose to lower the opponent’s guard?”
“Harpoon.”
“Yes, Sister.”
“Drayzer is a master beyond our imagination. I can’t be sure, but I think he might be a 7-star master.”
“The highest level of Sword Master?”
“Probably.”
“I see. Just being able to see such a master is lucky for us.”
“Right, how could we possibly understand his thoughts? You don’t think someone that great would do that hairstyle to lower the opponent’s guard, do you?”
“Maybe… does he get stronger when he does his hair like that?”
“Maybe…”
Harpoon was speechless.
If she had to do her hair like that to get stronger… no thanks. She’d rather not be strong.
She shook her head.
“It’s over.”
The most evil of all—
Mazure, the bishop of the Stone Head Church who had been toying with them, was getting beaten to a pulp and collapsed miserably.
The reason they were still alive was thanks to Bishop Mazure’s whims.
If the Stone Head Church followers had gone all out, they would have been captured long ago and subjected to all sorts of terrible things.
The thought of it made her shudder.
That Mazure… was now being beaten so badly that she almost felt sorry for him.
He fainted and woke up about five times in a very short period.
Drayzer grabbed the inner thigh muscle of Mazure’s groin with one hand and squeezed tightly.
Crack-
A tearing sound.
“Kuaaaaaak!”
Mazure, who had fainted, woke up again. His eyes were filled with terror.
It was still early autumn.
It wasn’t even chilly, but Mazure was trembling violently, his teeth chattering.
He cursed at Drayzer several times.
“You bastard! Do you know who I am!”
“You son of a bitch! I will definitely kill you. I’ll find your parents, siblings, friends, wife, lover, and children and skin them all alive.”
“If you let me go, I’ll pretend I don’t know you.”
“Just once… can’t you forgive me just once.”
“Please stop. I beg you.”
“Please save me.”
“I have an old mother at home. If I don’t go back, how will she live alone? You don’t know the situation of our Stone Head Church, do you? We don’t have pensions. If we can’t work because we don’t have the ability, we can only starve to death. I promise I will never come into Drayzer’s sight again. Please, just save me once.”
He begged and begged, desperately.
But-
No mercy.
The Great Cannon Treasure Hunters watching felt like they wanted to take Mazure’s side.
Mazure, who was babbling something, fainted again.
Drayzer grabbed his groin tightly without hesitation.
Tomahawk, the only man among them, knew Mazure’s pain. He grimaced as if he was suffering himself and turned his head away.
The other hunters were the same. They couldn’t bear to watch.
Crack!
The sound of an egg breaking against a stone.
“Uaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!”
Mazure’s miserable scream filled the Düsselruf Mountains.
The sound was so terrible that it made countless males, who hadn’t seen the situation at all, grab their lower bodies and run away without looking back.
“Hey.”
Drayzer called out to the Great Cannon Treasure Hunters.
“Y-yes?”
Napalm’s voice trembled.
“There won’t be any more danger. Just follow this road down. Then you’ll find an Orc Warrior Village.”
“Orc Warrior Village?”
“Yeah, they’re friends with our master, so they’ll protect you. Go and ask them for some food.”
What was that supposed to mean?
Orcs in an Orc village were friends? The Treasure Hunters had never seen Legion’s territory before, so they had no idea what the atmosphere was like.
“After the Orc Warrior Village, there’s a Goblin Village.”
“G-Goblin Village?”
“Yeah. They don’t really see him as an ally… they worship him as a god. January 1st is Legion Day, May 8th is Legion Parents’ Day, February 13th is Legion Valentine’s Day. November 11th is Legion Pepero Day [a Korean chocolate-covered biscuit stick]. Anyway, they’re a bit weird.”
“……”
Our brains are going to get weird.
“So you can pass through there without worry. If you go straight from there, you’ll find our master’s territory. Ah! There’s an Ogre Knight Order in the middle. They’re a bit crazy… but don’t pick a fight with them. If they talk to you, just say you’re our master’s guests. It’ll be a pain if they start playing candy games with you for no reason, so don’t be too scared and be confident.”
“……”
Ogre Knight Order? There aren’t actually ogres, are there?
“Anyway, I’m going.”
“Aren’t you coming with us?”
After hearing Drayzer’s story, they were suddenly scared.
So, according to Drayzer, they had to pass through Orcs, Goblins, and Ogres.
A chill ran down their spines.
Evil berserker Orcs, ferocious jungle hunter Goblins, the worst giant monster Ogres.
That was their image.
They couldn’t easily think, ‘Ah, there are those kinds of guys there. Let’s just pass by.’ Just thinking about it made their legs tremble.
“I have something to do.”
“Are you going somewhere else?”
“Yeah. Something fun happened.”
“Can I ask what it is?”
“It’s nothing much. I had forgotten about it for a while, but now I know what it means to have something right under your nose. Those Stone Head Church bastards. How dare they set up a nest here? They’re so bold. Do they even know where this is?”
“Set up a nest?”
“Yeah, it seems like a branch was established here. Within Legion’s territory.”
“Ah~”
If what Drayzer said was true, they were really bold. Or maybe it was possible because they didn’t know.
The Stone Head Church probably thought they had no contact with Count Legion.
“I’m going to play with them for a while.”
“W-won’t it be dangerous?”
Drayzer looked at Napalm and smiled, revealing his gold teeth.
“Who? Are you worried about me? Or are you worried about the Stone Head Church?”
“Of course, it’s you, Drayzer.”
“That’s kind of you. But you don’t have to worry about me.”
Drayzer smiled again, revealing his gold teeth.
Even his smile was terrifying.
He realized it anew…
That the most useless thing in the world was worrying about CEO Legion and Drayzer.
* * *
The newest village in the southernmost part of Legion’s territory.
In fact, it used to be a wasteland with almost no inhabitants, but foreigners gathered and quickly grew into a village.
Because it was built too hastily, security and management were not yet well established, and therefore, it was also a place with many incidents and accidents.
That’s why it was also the place where the most guards were stationed these days.
Especially due to the characteristics of its location, there were many travelers and merchants, and as a result, the entertainment culture was also the most developed area.
“This is it.”
Legion and his exclusive servants stood in front of a small tavern.
Legion frowned slightly.
Even at a glance, it was a place with a strong decadent atmosphere. He didn’t like it at all.
“Oh! Bacon! How have you been? Oho! Who is this person?”
The man blocking the way swayed his upper body and pointed at Legion.
Legion almost grabbed his finger and broke it.
“Hey, you crazy bastard! He’s our lord.”
Bacon was horrified and grabbed his finger and pulled it down.
“Yo! Lord?”
“Yes, he’s the lord!”
“Wow, that’s a unique look. Why are you wearing a helmet without clothes? Is that the latest fashion in the capital?”
The guy reached out to Legion with blurry eyes.
“I told you to stop.”
Bacon grabbed the guy’s wrist.
Only after experiencing the pain in his wrist and Bacon’s murderous intent did he quickly realize that he had done something wrong.
“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t show proper respect.”
Only then did Bacon let out a sigh of relief.
Our master has such a big heart. If it were another nobleman, he would have thrown this guy in jail first.
“But what’s going on?”
“Is the boss there?”
“Yes, he is.”
“Tell him to come out for a moment.”
“He has guests right now, so he’s a little busy… please wait a little bit.”
In an instant, with a ‘smack’ sound, the man went tumbling.
His nasal bone was fractured. Blood poured out of his nose like a waterfall.
The man didn’t even feel the pain because it was so sudden. He sat down blankly and looked at Bacon, who had hit his face.
His face was distorted with embarrassment and anger.
“Hey, Bacon, you…”
The moment he opened his mouth to argue-
Crack!
Bacon’s boot was embedded in the man’s mouth.
White teeth were broken and scattered in all directions, like corn being shelled.
“Did this bastard go crazy? It’s okay to treat us like that, but how dare you ignore our master’s words? Are you dying to die!”
Bacon’s playful eyes disappeared.
He had been friendly with him for several months, so he was going to try to talk it out if possible, but he didn’t understand the situation and tried to climb up. It’s like when kindness continues, people think it’s a right.
“Boss, tell him to come out right now.”
At that moment, the touts rushed out.
“What? Who’s causing a ruckus!”
Their eyes were fierce, and they all had daggers in their hands.
As soon as they rushed out, they swaggered and made eye contact with the exclusive servants. They were familiar faces. Customers who often came in groups and drank heavily. They were frequent regulars and good customers with good manners, but…
“Why are you suddenly doing this?”
The one who seemed to be the leader among the touts growled lowly like a beast while looking at Bacon.
Bacon glanced at his master.
The master didn’t say a word. His expression was hidden inside the helmet, but he could almost feel what kind of face he was making.
He was angry.
Bacon decided not to hold back.
“This is the last time. Tell the boss to come out.”
“What? Why are you suddenly like this! Until now, we’ve been…”
Before the other person could finish speaking, Bacon’s fist shot out.
Spack!
The opponent’s face was completely crushed as if hit by a hammer.
The opponent, who was nearly 2 meters tall, flew more than 10 meters and tumbled.
Faced with this unbelievable situation, the touts who had rushed out stared alternately at their unconscious boss and Bacon with their mouths wide open.
“You guys, bow your heads right now, and you, the youngest, go inside and tell the boss to come out. Unless you want to die.”
