31The second word upsets the game board (Episode 190)
Marcelo Machado.
A man from a Brazilian slum who belonged to a gang based in Sao Paulo..
He survived by hunting rats and bugs and rummaging through food waste. As an adult, he realized something..
The fact that he has no empathy for others.
Since he has always lived for his own survival, there was no time for such cliches to form..
However, it was nothing short of a blessing for him..
Subjugating others and brutally executing them did not bother me at all..
On the contrary, it was refreshing and even fun, so it was natural that he fell into a bad direction..
Everyone gets several opportunities in life to decide how to live..
However, Marcelo thought that such an opportunity had never come to him before..
Because I've lived the way I was born so far.
However, all mankind was given a choice. Choices that will determine life after transfer.
Marcelo chose the easy and familiar path..
The path to climb by killing and trampling on others.
Now he was sitting in a mansion located in the center of Azelfog. He sits on a richly decorated chair, reminiscent of a throne, with his attendants lined up on both sides..
Originally, this was a nobleman's mansion, but it has now been taken over by Marcelo's gang. There was no way he would have taken it in a kind way..
“Marcelo. This isn't too bad?”
“Yes, Jonas died and the rest either came back as half-assholes or died on the spot.!”
Marcelo kept his mouth shut despite the criticism from his subordinates..
It happens often.
It was something I had to endure because I was with people who were that way from the beginning..
One of the executives assisting him said.
“Jonas wasn't a very useful guy to begin with. He's had a limp since his last job. He probably used it a few more times and then put it away..”
“…what?”
“Do you think this place is a paradise of dreams and hopes? Let's hope that we can be of use to each other. Anyway, Jonas has done his part, so what's next, Marcelo??”
Marcelo rested his elbows on the chair and rested his face on his arms..
“…They say the hunter will arrive at Arzelfog soon. The goats sent me.”
goats.
The leaders of the cartel he belonged to were called goats. The cartel itself was also called the goats..
“Hunter? who?”
“triplets.”
“Those guys who only run on money?”
“Yes, I decided to give 20 platinum coins for killing and 40 for subduing..”
“that… That much? It's not excessive for the money spent on ghost testing.?”
Ghost Prosecutor was also another nickname for one person. His arms were so strange that he deserved that nickname..
“Ghost swordsmanship is strong. That's why I'm trying to attract you. Since he is also from Nevenia, he may be able to provide other help in the future.….”
“We couldn't solve it on our own?”
“If everyone, including me, joins in, we can solve this problem. How many of them will still have their necks intact after the battle here??”
nod.
One of the other subordinates who agreed with Marcelo's words said:.
“however… I saw it during the day?”
“Ah, that new monster that appeared..”
“how will we do it? It's also a good idea to be cautious about your movements before you figure out who the guy is.….”
“stupid sound.”
“why….”
“Basically, you would be right. but… If we, who suffered a one-sided loss from the ghost prosecutor, do not respond and wait, we will think that Marcelo is afraid of the ghost prosecutor..”
“…ah!”
“Actually, if the fear decreases... Governing becomes more difficult. The ruler must be fear itself. You can't rule over humans unless you look like a human at all..”
“Then how are the personnel distributed?….”
“Leave it to Gustavo to find him, and we can handle the ghost inspection first. After all, the goal was to test ghosts. Who knows, if the ghost swordsman accepts our offer, he might harvest that monster as well..”
Marcelo said calmly..
“Tonight is the last night. … The conversation ends tonight. If they come and act arrogant, you have to do something about it..”
* * *
dump…
A member of Marcelo's gang fell to the floor. He was a person who had been held by the collar in the hands of about one person just a moment ago..
“Since I've come this far, I should go in..”
“Dawn… this is right? Wouldn't it be better to contact the benefactor you mentioned and attack him together??”
“I left contact information with the accommodation in advance. But I think he was away all day because he had work to do. Still, he'll probably come on time if the conversation with Marcelo doesn't go well..”
“then… From now on, we have to go to Marcelo's headquarters to talk.?”
“If you miss the timing, they will attack you first. And you should try everything you can before asking someone for help. That's how I learned it.”
“at all! I'm sure that wasn't the teaching? Because Dawn sometimes thinks what she wants!”
“If you hand over the work to someone else without even putting in the effort, it will be useless. Moreover, such a big thing.”
“…….”
“If you think it's dangerous, just run away. Marcelo's level is out of reach of Marie, let alone me..”
“…Scores aren't everything. Marcelo has a reputation for being vicious. She said it was conceit.”
“Okay, maybe it's arrogance. But the way I became strong was always like this. I only know how to attack head on.”
“Ugh… This frustration... Dawn, you can hit me on the head?”
“no.”
One person said with a smile.
“Still, it's rare to have such a strong ally. In times like these, it would be a good experience to go out stronger..”
“The will is also novel... It's crazy, really.”
This reckless side of Han Yeo-myeong developed after he headed west. In order to survive there, he lived as if he was overcome by evil, and the result was the person he is today..
He and Marie entered the mansion..
From the moment we entered the mansion, the expression on one's face hardened..
It wasn't like he was stiff from nervousness, but rather he looked like he was preparing for a possible battle..
“Marcelo is waiting, ghost prosecutor.”
“I mean, I'm willing to talk..”
Drurly…
The door to Marcelo's room had a unique structure that had to be pulled from both sides to open. Even from these little tastes, I could tell that Marcelo likes to show off and show off..
When a few people entered the room, they saw Marcelo sitting on a chair..
The next thing I saw was the subordinates standing left and right..
“Marcelo, I'm here to talk..”
“conversation? It's good. If it means talking to you, the person who killed half of our kids and turned half of them into assholes, I'd be willing to take the time..”
“I only need to receive what was promised. That was the first promise too..”
“Oh yeah… That's right.”
Marcelo took out a small box from his pocket..
sweet…
Whoa whoa…
When the box was opened, the black bead inside was emitting a strange light..
“But isn’t it a bit unfair? If it had been resolved through dialogue a long time ago, my subordinates would not have died. Do you have any feelings of guilt??”
“None, not at all.”
“Tsk tsk… It's cruel. Still, things have changed, ghost prosecutor..”
“what?”
“work for me Then, I will absolve you of the crime of killing your subordinates..”
“refuse.”
“Think about it carefully. Are you saying that we are fools for not sticking together? A world of trouble like Pandea will eventually fall into our hands. Those who are accustomed to using force. I think you can stop them all by yourself?”
One person said emphatically.
“Even if it's not me, there are people who can do that.”
“what?”
“I'm tired, the answer is?”
“If you reject my offer, I have no choice from here..”
Sreuk…
At one point, three identical people were standing in the room..
It was possible to guess how it appeared, but it was surprisingly good at killing its presence..
“…Damn it.”
About one person laughed bitterly.
“Did you call the triplets??”
The one on the left of the triplets said.
“Is it morning? No, I want dinner.?”
“Lunch is done.”
“Then the morning is on the woman's side.”
“I'll take a look for dinner then..”
“I get it. Divide the money equally.”
Those who are called breakfast, lunch, and dinner respectively. They were also called money demons..
lunch said.
“Subdue women and, if possible, subdue men as well. This is the end of the request.”
Marie's expression hardened..
“Dawn, let’s run away!”
About one person shook their head..
There was one thing that only they knew, and that was to believe it..
Marie could not understand the judgment of one person at all..
But now that there was a difference of opinion, the only option was death, so I followed his judgment..
Lunch said softly after seeing one person..
“hmm… Strong. 15 minutes, subdued.”
“It's long! Help me?”
“no.”
Since Lunch insisted on dealing with at least one person alone, Dinner asked Morning this time..
“you?”
“This is 3 minutes. subdue.”
“So soon.”
At that moment, Lunch closed his eyes and exhaled..
[Use this time appointment for lunch.]
[Appointment time is 15 minutes.]
[As long as you are not late for your scheduled appointment, all stats increase by 20%.]
[No party other than the party concerned can intervene in the time commitment..]
[If I'm late for an appointment, I get scolded..]
Same goes for breakfast.
[Use this time appointment in the morning.]
[Appointment time is 3 minutes.]
[As long as you are not late for your scheduled appointment, all stats increase by 50%.]
[No party other than the party concerned can intervene in the time commitment..]
[If I'm late for an appointment, I get scolded..]
“start.”
pot-!
pot-!
A battle that suddenly started.
Han Yeo-myeong and Mari became distant from each other..
The triplets were also infamous for their combined skills..
The morning team, dealing with Mari, used two daggers, and the lunch team, dealing with a group of people, used a long long sword..
These were assassins raised by goats..
All three of them were monsters among monsters, with an adventure score in the mid-7 million range, who grew in power by only assassinating key figures..
whilick-!
Kaaaaang!
A heavy blow fell on the blade of one person..
Geek…
“…That's fast.”
Han Yeo's speed was considered the best among prosecutors of the same class. Assuming that the ghost's right arm is doing its job,.
“under!”
One person turned to the offensive.
pot-!
Hwiik-!
Kang! Kagang! Caen!
From the sound, it felt like a single swing, but from what I could see, it was three slashes in a row..
“Strong… Is 15 minutes enough?.”
Taaaaaang!
A lunch full of energy.
Popping…
Lunch, who bent his neck from side to side, looked at one person and said..
“Try blocking this too.”
[Lunch is on a staggered schedule.]
[For a short period of time, the impact of the attack occurs late..]
whilick-!
The lunch blade was bent at a strange angle and was aimed at the legs of about one person..
Yeo-myeong Han quickly struck down the opponent's sword..
At that moment, a strange sensation came to me..
widely-!
The feeling is too dull for the feeling of swords clashing with swords..
‘Dangerous!’
About one person prepared for the ensuing slash..
Whoa whoa-!
As expected, I didn't miss the opportunity for lunch..
widely! Crack! Caen!
crackling!
The shock came late, and along with it, other time-lag shocks piled up, so one person was quickly put on the defensive..
Lunch said while swinging a slash..
“It might end quickly….”
However, even one person was not easy..
His eyes turned black and thrusts came out at incredible speed..
[1Season of Dawn: Use the Wind Hole.]
[Stab damage increases proportional to striking speed.]
[Constitution: Black hands assist striking.]
“Hmm!”
Lunch was shocked and blocked the stab with his sword..
kagang!
Kaaaang!
Kwasik…
Pushuuuk…
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Ughhh….”
“…Sheesh.”
Unfortunately for one person, Lunch did not die in this attack..
He stepped away from Han Yeo-myeong and replaced the broken sword with another sword..
“It was dangerous... . It's a misjudgment. 15 minutes is not enough..”
Lunch to stop the bleeding in a hurry on my punctured shoulder.
[Lunch will use extended hours.]
[Appointment time will be extended by 30 minutes.]
[All stat increases are fixed at 10%.]
[Remaining time no longer increases.]
At first glance, it may seem that one person has an advantage, but the situation is not like that..
“Got it.”
“Ughhh….”
dump…
Marie was defeated by the morning.
The blood on the dagger in the morning is probably her blood..
“number of animals!”
“Don't move carelessly, ghost. We don't want to lose her her….”
If this continues, it is obvious that Han Yeo-myeong's side will lose..
But, fortunately, salvation arrived in time..
Puhwaaaak-!
The head of the subordinate who was trying to capture Marie was blown off..
No one saw the scene, they only turned their heads when they heard a sound..
Marie was picked up by a fairy knight and hung like laundry on her shoulder..
In the morning, rather than being angry about losing all the game I had caught, I was curious about the identity of this fairy knight who had suddenly fallen from nowhere..
“What?”
Instead of Karen, who was smiling brightly, the answer came from a man walking hurriedly into the room..
“Oh, maybe… Should I take off my shoes and go in??”
The uninvited guest who appeared at Marcelo's home base was snowfall..
karen said.
“Is this woman breathing? She didn't die. Are these guys villains? He's so kind... Did we find the wrong house??”
“okay? Well then, I'm glad. Ms. Han Yeo-myeong, are you okay??”
In the morning, I corrected my posture..
I was embarrassed because I couldn't feel any energy from the man, but he also had the ability to prepare for times like this..
“Marcelo!”
“hmm….”
“Should I get extra pay??”
“…of course.”
The morning said while looking at the snowfall.
“10I'll kill you in seconds.”
“me?”
As soon as I answered, the morning activated its ability..
[Morning is the season: Use daylight..]
[Appointment time is fixed to 10 seconds.]
[As long as you are not late for your scheduled appointment, all stats increase by 50%.]
[For the duration it lasts, you have the sensation of time passing slowly..]
[No party other than the party concerned can intervene in the time commitment..]
[I don't get scolded if I'm late for an appointment..]
Whoa whoa….
The new type of morning disappeared from the sight of others..
No, to be precise, the morning moved at such a fast pace that other people's eyes could not keep up with the movement..
Morning felt omnipotent for at least 10 seconds after activating this ability..
Feeling like I can kill anything.
In fact, how many strong people died due to this ability of his?.
‘slow!’
The black energy released from Kangseol's hand and forming the shape of a knight was very fast, and the movement of the knight pulling the sword from the scabbard was even faster..
However, it was slower than the morning movement..
at least he thought so.
‘Summoned beast? doesn't care. Cut first….’
tingling!
For a moment, a cool sensation passed through my right arm..
Morning did not forget its duty even at that moment..
If you look at the place where you feel pain, the enemy will attack you. So, keep your eyes on the other person.
‘I lost my right arm! When?….’
Time still passes slowly.
morning clenched its teeth.
‘I'll give you at least eight. I took a loss.’
The one remaining arm swung, aiming for the opponent's neck..
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Time seemed to pass slowly.
no, it wasn't.
‘I… Why so… Seems slow? And what is that black energy??’
The dark, sticky energy emanating from the knight seemed to be causing him to struggle in a dream..
Slurp…
And when that black energy slowly surged and enveloped his entire body, he realized..
‘It's not like it's slow... I… It was slow..’
My vision spun around..
Rather than thinking that the body rotated, it would be better to judge that the head rotated while floating in the air..
‘me… You're dead..’
Puhwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Morning's limbs were flying in all directions, as if they had been taken out of a cutting machine..
[enlightenment! Karuna awakens new abilities.]
[Karuna continues: awakens the black wave.]
“…….”
“what… What the hell….”
The morning he died, his limbs disintegrating, before he could even keep the 10 seconds he said..
Marcelo and the triplets... No, I just looked at Snowfall, who had now become twins, lunch and dinner, and had created an amazing situation..
Kang Seol looked down at everyone and said.
“Here, who is Marcelo??”
