Weapon-Eating Bastard [EN]: Chapter 233

Weapon-Eating Bastard – Episode 233

Northern Europe, uncharted territory.

A certain island appears when you continuously steer a ship in a specific direction from the northwestern docks of Norway.

Called the hometown of criminals, it is home to the largest nest of wanderers [criminals and outcasts] in the world.

The base of the wanderer organization, Mirror, was located there.

“Are you really the one buying?”

“Of course! I hit the jackpot today, you know?”

“Drink up! He’s buying!”

In fact, it was too bustling to be called a deserted island.

All sorts of buildings stood all over the island, and people gathered in every corner to enjoy alcohol or drugs.

Meanwhile, in the center of such an island, a man was receiving a report.

“…What did you just say?”

A Grade 1 wanted criminal sought after by the whole world, and the man called the head of Mirror.

Lucas Nicholson frowned and put down his bottle of alcohol.

“T-the youngest of the Soongmoo Lee family said that if he confesses his sins right now, he will spare your life……”

“Haha, Yau Adubiso, my friend. I think I misheard you, can you say it again?”

“T-that is… T-the youngest of the Soongmoo Lee family, Lee Cheol……”

“You son of a bitch!”

Clang!

The bottle Lucas threw hit Yau’s head and shattered.

“You failed the mission and came back after a few days, and what? You bring me that kind of bullshit? I gave you over a hundred men, and you killed them all, and you couldn’t bring my money back! You came back alone and what?”

Thud!

Lucas stood up from his seat and exuded murderous intent.

At that moment, the music playing at the drinking party stopped, and all the wanderers, including the executives, held their breath.

The other wanderers may not know, but Lucas Nicholson was a true hunter whose estimated rank was Quasi-Grade 2 [a high-level threat].

No matter how long Yau had been with Nicholson since the founding of Mirror, this time he crossed the line.

“Yau. You’ve been with me for over 20 years, and you still can’t tell the difference, can you?”

“N-no, that’s not it… R-really… You have to answer well! Brother…!”

“What? Answer well? I’m so dumbfounded. What am I supposed to do with some bastard who came out of nowhere? I’d rather bite my tongue and kill myself.”

Lucas finally decided to kill this useless lackey.

But soon, he noticed something as he saw Yau’s terrified expression.

Yau was trembling and kept glancing to the side.

He felt even worse.

‘Who the hell is this bastard looking at in front of me?’

Like a pathetic shaman, he was looking at the empty air and paying attention.

Does he have a ghost next to him?

Next to Yau, there was only one subordinate who brought him…….

‘What? Was there a Chino [slang for Asian person] among the guys guarding this place?’

A guy who looked like an Asian no matter how you looked at it.

Black hair, black eyes slowly… turning yellow…?

Kwaaaang!

Lucas felt a fist flying in front of his nose and embedding itself.

There was no time to defend.

He felt the fist flying, but the moment he felt it, his vision went dark.

Turd! Thump!

Lucas, who had flown backwards, crashed into the wall and fell to the ground.

“I was going to give him a chance if he had any circumstances.”

A man who was walking forward leisurely, saying incomprehensible words.

The shape of the man’s face was wriggling and changing.

Jet-black hair, eyes of a light yellow color like topaz.

Sharp eyes and a relaxed curve of the lips.

“T-th-th……”

The executives of Mirror were horrified when they saw the man’s face.

The youngest of the Soongmoo Lee family.

The warrior Lee Cheol, who was shocking the world with every move, had appeared here.

‘Crazy, why is such a big shot in a place like this!’

‘Could it be that our mission was discovered!’

‘Yau Adubiso! That snitch bastard!’

‘I-if you want to save your life, you have to lower your eyes.’

Kwaaaang!

Following that, as if Lee Cheol revealing himself was a signal, explosions began to ring out here and there.

-……Unidentified people have attacked! Soongmoo Lee family…… Keuaaak!

-We have to run away! On the island right now……!

Such urgent cries continued from the radio, but none of the executives could move rashly.

However, the next moment.

“You son of a bitch! I’ll cut your throat!”

Kwang!

Lucas, who had been thrown out, rushed at Lee Cheol as if struggling.

Squeak! Kwang!

However, a jet-black weapon was created in the empty air in front of Lee Cheol’s nose, and easily blocked the attack.

Lucas took a step back and shouted.

“What are you doing! You bastards! He’s just a brat! Kill him!”

At Lucas’s cry, the executives also came to their senses and began to join the attack.

Thud! Kugugung!

However, soon, they had no choice but to stop, shocked by the sight unfolding in front of them.

Hundreds of weapons floated in the empty air, just like before, and began to aim at them.

The surrounding air vibrated with the formidable power contained in each of those weapons.

“If you bow your heads now, I will spare you.”

I took out Black Night and said to them.

“Or you won’t die cleanly.”

With those words, the weapons made of Black Energy moved.

* * *

Since returning, until now.

I have been preparing a lot to bring down Lee Gun-seong.

While enduring Lee Gun-seong’s subtle checks, I have been carefully moving the Black Turtle Association and Jung Jin-soo to find out his true identity.

And through this incident, I finally had a chance to retaliate.

‘I’ll attack you in your own way.’

This time, Lee Gun-seong’s attack using the power of other forces was a mistake.

Because the guy who had been veiled until now revealed too many clues to the world.

And the first way to attack him through that clue.

I came to Mirror to use it.

Exactly one hour later.

I looked down at the wanderers who were tied up and gathered in the central square of the island.

Then, Lee Young-seong, who was appointed as the head of the Iron Blood Squad, approached from behind.

“Currently, all but 22 people who escaped by sea have been captured. There are 121 deaths during the battle, and 230 seriously injured. There are no casualties in the Iron Blood Squad other than minor injuries.”

“There’s no need to save them all. Even those who escaped, it’s okay to kill them if they don’t surrender. They’re just trash criminals.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Then I’ll go in and have a conversation with the executives.”

“Yes.”

I turned my back on Lee Young-seong and headed straight to the building behind me.

In that building, executives including Lucas and Yau were kneeling, tied up.

None of them had normal appearances, and some of them had already lost their lives.

‘Damn it, you son of a bitch…….’

Meanwhile, Lucas, covered in blood, was trembling with anger, looking at Lee Cheol.

‘It doesn’t make sense. What the hell is this monster? I rushed at him with the executives, but how… does this make sense?’

Lucas looked up at Lee Cheol.

A young man who is not even thirty years old yet.

But that young man subdued Mirror’s executives and even himself.

Even if he was ambushed in the first blow and suffered internal injuries, there were executives… Lee Cheol easily beat them all up.

“Don’t roll your eyes, you bug.”

Lee Cheol lightly kicked Lucas’s face.

Kwang!

It was clearly a light kick, but a sound like a bomb exploding was heard, and Lucas fell backwards.

“Aren’t you getting up?”

“K, Keueue…….”

Lucas, who had fallen, staggered up at my threat.

And the moment he looked up at Lee Cheol again.

Kwaang!

This time, he had to get hit even harder.

Lucas felt all the magic circuits in his body vibrate.

“Get up.”

“K, Keueue…….”

Lucas staggered and stood up.

That was repeated several times.

Seeing their boss, covered in blood, being kicked by the young Lee Cheol, the executives of Mirror were feeling an indescribable feeling.

“I-I’m sorry… Please spare me. I-I was wrong……”

Before long, the rebellious spirit in Lucas’s eyes disappeared.

He bowed his head and lowered his head to Lee Cheol in a trembling voice.

“Y-you clearly said you had something to ask for…? Pl-please tell me… anything……”

I nodded as I saw Lucas’s spirit broken.

“Good. Now we can talk. I keep my promises. If you meet my requirements, I will spare your life.”

I said with a bitter smile.

“You have been targeting me and the Soongmoo Lee family under the instructions of Lee Gun-seong, the third son of the Soongmoo Lee family.”

“……Yes?”

And the story that Lee Cheol was hearing for the first time flowed out.

“Ten years ago, you aimed for my life under the guise of a naming ceremony, and this time, you used the vicious criminal Yau Adubiso to target the Black Turtle Association and me, and besides, you also instigated the attack on the head family’s business this time.”

“W-we didn’t do that……”

Lucas, who was about to resist, gasped as he looked at Lee Cheol.

Whether it’s true or not, it doesn’t matter.

Lucas looked at Lee Cheol with a chill down his spine.

“Then, this time, fearing the Soongmoo Lee family’s retaliation, you confessed your sins and were captured by me. Do you understand?”

I’m going to use these guys to undermine Lee Gun-seong’s authority and hold him accountable for his crimes.

Of course, even if these guys surrender and confess their sins, it will be a meaningless task if there is no evidence.

But… evidence exists.

No, to be exact, evidence has been created.

‘It’s not like I’ve been doing nothing with the Black Turtle Association.’

There is a lack of evidence that it is accurately connected to Mirror and Lee Gun-seong.

However, there is a lot of evidence that Lee Gun-seong used ‘wanderers’.

Even at the naming ceremony.

Even during this Black Turtle Association incident.

It has not yet been revealed which external forces were brought in, but even during this incident.

Lee Gun-seong has been acting suspiciously too much.

Even if there is only circumstantial and circumstantial evidence, the justification for attacking him will be established.

Is that all?

There is a pile of data that has been prepared since the naming ceremony.

And now they will explode all at once.

“If we do that, we will end up dying!”

There is no way that the Soongmoo Lee family will be lenient in their punishment.

But I shook my head.

“I will decide the punishment. Because the person you surrendered to will be me.”

In that case, I will have the power of life and death over them.

“E-even after that is over, you will try to kill……”

Sreureung!

The moment Lucas tried to continue speaking, a jet-black blade was cast over his neck.

“Keep one thing in mind. You don’t necessarily have to testify. It’s enough if even one of the twelve people here testifies.”

I swept around.

At those words, Lucas dropped his head.

In the end, there was only one option given to them.

* * *

After handing over the executives of Mirror to the Iron Blood Squad, I welcomed the person who came to visit.

“It’s been a while, Lee Cheol.”

Ron Russell.

It was a reunion with the guy who had been acting with me since the Grand Melee.

He was now a golden-haired knight who was making a name for himself as a Sword Saint.

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

“Fine, of course. More than that……”

Ron looked at the people captured by the Iron Blood Squad and let out a hollow laugh.

“I was dumbfounded when you first contacted me… You really devastated Mirror.”

“So, I’m going to ask you for a favor.”

“Of course. I have to do this much. It’s for the peace of the world.”

“World peace……”

I looked at Ron with a hollow laugh.

Well, that kind of talk seemed to suit Ron Russell.

‘Still, it’s good. I’m glad he accepted.’

The reason I called Ron was not different.

Because it is the destruction of the world’s largest group of wanderers, there will definitely be repercussions.

In particular, Mirror had secretly contacted several governments, but it is necessary to request cooperation from surrounding organizations in advance to clean up the aftermath.

“Then we will receive the ledger and other things from the Russell family.”

“Okay, I only need Lucas and a few executives.”

“Let’s put that aside for now… Now I need a detailed explanation.”

There was one more reason for coming to this unexplored area of Northern Europe besides destroying Mirror.

It is the content I learned while reading the memories residing in the Black Knight’s Greatsword.

And in order to strike that place, I requested cooperation from two forces.

“I’ll tell you when you get there.”

“I understand.”

A little later, a ship arrived at Mirror Island.

Walking out of it was a knight order wearing silver, brilliant light armor.

The Paladins, the Holy Knight Order that the Vatican boasts of.

And Serena Cannata was standing in front of them.

“It’s been a long time, Lee Cheol. Thank you for calling me to settle the debts of the Church.”

“I am grateful for your help.”

Serena smiled and joined.

The Russell family’s Steel Knights and the Church’s Paladins.

The reason why I secretly called the two places today.

‘Mirror is just a preparation for a political attack.’

The real attack is here.

I looked at Serena and Ron and said.

“Then I will explain in detail the contents I briefly mentioned in the last contact.”

Northern Europe, unexplored territory.

Deep in that place.

There is a laboratory that Lee Gun-seong has set up.

And.

“A branch of Kabbalah [a mystical Jewish tradition] exists in the Theta-2 area of the unexplored area of Northern Europe. And the person in charge there is……”

The Puppeteer.

A criminal who helps Lee Gun-seong and causes all sorts of incidents exists there.

Today, we will strike that veiled criminal.
