Chapter 109

Druid fell to the floor with a thud.

Oliver moved straight away.

Using his Warlock eyes he could tell that ten intruders were searching in pairs inside the mansion.

Fortunately, Jane was rescued by the corpse dolls and escaped outside.

However, the reason why he couldn’t relax was that Nina with a Magic gun was persistently aiming at Jane.

Oliver thought that he had to draw her attention first.

“Um……… Ms. Nina, can I ask you a question?”

Oliver gave it a shot by trying to talk on the munication device, but to his surprise, a response came.

[How are you alive? What about Scott?]

“I was lucky, and Mr. Scott was unlucky.”

[!!!]

Oliver could not read Nina’s emotions through the munication device, but he could feel Nina’s agitation.

As if to prove it, a purple magic circle unfolded in front of Oliver.

[You…!]

Oliver thought about the first time Nina showed the power of her weapon. It was really impressive, and it was very intimidating as she fired mana bullets at the point she wanted, rather than the function of the weapon.

She can be safe, while she attacks the enemy at the worst possible time.

However, she eventually had to see this place to catch the shooting point, and for that, she wore Magic goggles, which meant she had to see this place before she took a shot.

Oliver lit the emotion in his hand and burst it, creating a tremendous light for a moment.

It created a black light that was brighter than light, which was an imitation as well as a modified version of what Puppet used before.

In the presence of the bright black light, the purple magic circle slowly disappeared, as if it had been eaten.

[Ahhhhh…Fu*k! You horses*t!]

“I’m sorry.”

Oliver apologized and directed the zombies remotely to attack the intruders who entered the mansion.

Zombies in the mansion followed the orders, but unfortunately, due to the lack of zombie-specific black magic spells, they could not properly suppress the intruders.

Of course, it could be said that the intruders responded well, but it was a little disappointing for people with guns in their hands.

“Well, it doesn’t matter.”

When Oliver gave additional orders, the zombies suddenly began to blow themselves up when they approached the intruders to some extent.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Every time there was a dull explosion, there was a scream in the mansion

The intruders suffered indirect damage from the explosion and got infected by blisters.

Although it consumed a lot of emotions, it was definitely effective. Oliver thought he should use it often in situations where he did not have to worry about running out of emotions.

“You damn thing…!!”

An intruder who suddenly appeared from the corridor pointed a gun at Oliver.

One side of his face was pletely covered in a purple blister, which was at a quite fatal level.

It was a very unfortunate case. [Blister] was something that was supposed to heal naturally if it didn’t reach a certain level, but it was unfortunate for the guy in front of him.

But work is work.

Oliver swung the quarterstaff, deflected the gun in the upward direction, and then hit the quarterstaff in the face of the intruder with a face full of purple bubbles.

The blisters burst with the sound of an explosion, and as if the pain were severe, the intruder screamed, grabbing his face and collapsing.

Thanks to this, there was a lapse in judgment of the intruder who was waiting behind with his gun raised, and Oliver used this gap to shoot and knocked down the intruder using [Hate Bullet] a second faster than him.

CRUSH! BOOM!

There was the sound of a bullet striking his head and bursting, but without wasting his time watching it Oliver ran straight ahead and jumped out through the window.

Thanks to the black suit that covered his legs, he was in one piece even after jumping from the third floor, and when he tried to add one more layer of the black suit, Oliver realized that he did not have enough emotions.

He realized that he spent more than he thought to deal with the enemies using zombies.

Druid’s words seemed right. Black magic was too weak to sustain bat, and Oliver thought of the need to improve.

While organizing his thoughts in that way, Oliver extracted the emotions and called the corpse dolls to the place where he was.

After a while, corpse dolls walked out of the forest along with Jane, who looked half frightened and was held in a frozen position.

“Huh, this is… Is it Dave’s?”

Jane asked, with emotions mixed with disgust, shock, fear, and bewilderment.

She still didn’t seem to know what was going on.

“Something crazy happened….. The bodyguards…”

“… They tried to kill you?”

“…Yes.”

“From what Mr. Scott said, they seemed to have betrayed.”

“Scott?”

“Yes, Mr. Druid. with green hair.”

“…did he betray too?”

“Yes, and I think Ms. Nina and Mr. Duncan betrayed, too. I don’t know exactly when, but I think it was even before I came to the mansion.”

Jane looked shocked.

There was a great sense of anger and betrayal rising inside, along with emotions such as despair, resignation, and emptiness.

“How e…”

“Um, I don’t know. That’s…”

It was then.

Nina tried to end Oliver and Jane at the same time by invoking the Magic gun again as if her vision had recovered.

“Third.”

When Oliver called, Third Child, who went into [Rag], pulled Jane.

After that, Oliver focused on the magic circle and saw through the location of the person beyond the magic circle, just like he identified the location of Puppeteer Glyph through the black magic item [Watcher’s Eye] that hung in Freckle’s neck.

Nina blinked repeatedly as if she couldn’t focus properly, maybe she hasn’t pletely recovered yet

Oliver extracted the emotions and created a black magic circle meters above his head, remodeling the black magic that Hilton, the exclusive warlock of the Hoffman Family used before.

The bullet of hate gathered in the black magic circle, and then it was fired aiming at the location of Nina. 

It was a clean shot. The bullet of hate created a small hole in Nina’s chest.

The purple magic circle soon disappeared and seeing that Jane asked.

“…what, what did you do?”

“I tracked Ms. Nina, and shot her first.”

Listening to Oliver’s calm tone, Jane asked with a bewildered expression.

“…Nina, is she dead?”

“Doesn’t one die when they have a hole in their chest?”

“…….”

When asked by Oliver, Jane covered her mouth with both hands in surprise. Then, she slowly turned and looked around, and so did Oliver.

He used his Warlock eyes and found that there was no alive in the whole surrounding except Jane and Oliver himself. 

The whole surrounding suddenly turned into a deserted place. 

At least there was no more enemy.

Although there was still Life-force and emotion left, it would bottom out if he met an enemy like Druid Scott, and he was not in a very relaxed situation.

‘Um, what do I do? I’ve never been in a situation like this before.’

Indeed he was. All the jobs Oliver had done so far, he did without giving much thought to it, but now he had to think of a next move.

While Oliver was thinking about what to do, he heard a familiar and unfamiliar sound.

“Ugh… Fu*k. Really. After ing this far….”

As he turned his head, he saw the pink-haired girl Jane with a serious look on her face.

She had a pletely different expression from what she had shown so far.

“Um……why don’t we move, for now?”

“What? Ugh… What? What?”

” I said, why don’t we leave this place? I think they are determined to hurt you, so I think it’ll be dangerous if we stay still. I think it would be best if we get out of here. At least in my opinion.”

Jane put on a subtle look.

“…you’re helping me… in this situation?”

“…? I’m not helping you. I’m just doing my job. Didn’t I get hired to protect you? For the next five days.”

She stared at Oliver with an expression of amazement.

It was an unexpected reaction, and Oliver wondered if he had said something wrong.

“Um… and you taught me a lot of interesting things.”

A moment of silence passed between the two and soon after Jane smiled briefly.

It was a refreshing and more sincere smile than the usual smile she had on her face all this time.

“I don’t want to die like this either….. So, do you have any plans?”

“Um, maybe we should head back to Landa? Is there any place you can ask for help?”

Jane bit her lip and fell into thought.

The girl-like appearance she had shown over the past few days disappeared all of a sudden and she looked like the employees Oliver saw at the Angel’s House, but for some reason, this felt more like her real self.

Oliver liked it.

“There is one.”

“Looking at you, it doesn’t seem like a place you want to go.”

“Yeah, it’s a bit… But there’s nothing we can do. There are many times in life when you have to do things you don’t want to. By the way, Landa is a little far from here, is there a way to get there?”

Instead of answering, Oliver pointed to a car parked in front of the mansion.

“Do you know how to drive a car?”

“Yes, I learned… for half a day.”

“…half a day?”

“Yes, half a day.”

BEEP 

CLICK!

Duncan picked up the munication device as soon as he heard the beep.

It was a secret munication device made by Hermes, and it was difficult to trace calls unless it was a high-level net navigator, and it was quite expensive.

Usually, panies, Solvers, gangs, and politicians bought it when they did dirty work. 

Just like now.

[Team leader]

“So, what’s the situation?”

[I think they failed]

“…what?”

Duncan was uncharacteristically surprised.

Because it was an operation where he couldn’t fail.

There were five bodyguards who have been conciliated, and two excellent solvers such as Druid Scott and Magic Gun Nina.

Even three Pink Man teams were put in just in case.

No matter how talented they were, it was not a power that could be stopped by three Solvers and some guards while protecting a naive girl who doesn’t know the world.

However, from beyond the munication device, there were facts that were denying that reality.

[I just checked the inside of the mansion. All of our people are dead.]

“Report in detail.”

[Druid Scott is half rotten, with rotting flesh and blood everywhere. Pink Man collapsed half as a zombie, and the other half is either blown away or rotten….. Even Nina is dead with her heart pierced.]

“…….”

Duncan was silent.

He was surprised, but that didn’t mean that he stopped thinking.

He used his experience as an executive at the Pinkman office in the past to grasp the situation through the given report.

“Are there any bodies other than people from our side?”

[… There’s Magic fighter Russell and Veteran Solver Godri, both have died with a vine ing out of their mouth]

“Then, Jane and the Warlock are not here.”

[Yes, by the way, since there is a car missing, it seems like they got on it and ran away.]

“…….”

Duncan was once again troubled.

He wondered how could a warlock brought in by some prostitutes interfere with his plan.

Of course, when he did his research, he knew the guy wasn’t a dud, but even so, it was more than what he expected.

He thought he could crush him if he pushed him with Scott, who had excellent close bat skills, without letting him take out the Corpse dolls, but it seemed like he misjudged.

Even so, he didn’t expect he would kill Nina and the three Pink Man teams. 

‘How on earth?’

Duncan thought for a moment that the false rumor about Warlock Dave being related to Puppet was real.

‘That’s ridiculous…….’

“Hey, what’s up?”

Duncan turned his head to the sound of someone calling him.

At the end of his sight, there sat a middle-aged woman who kept her youth with expensive magic items, her son, and her daughter.

“…a bit…. there’s a bit of a problem.”

“Problem?”

A gaze of blatant contempt. 

It was a gaze that only the so-called nobles could do.

“…that’s not good, Duncan. If you want to get paid, you have to do your job right.”

“…don’t worry, Madame. It’s within the range I expected.”

“Expected range?”

“Yes, so trust me. They can’t run away. They’ll have to e to this city after all. Excuse me for a moment.”

Duncan came out of the room without waiting for a reply from the other end. 

They hired him because they needed him anyway, so he felt there was no need for him to explain things to them anymore.

As evidence, Mrs. Rock and her two children only frowned, they did not try to stop Duncan. 

On the other hand, Duncan, who came out of the room, took the munication device in his hand, pressed button 3, and contacted somewhere.

Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep. 

After a long beep, the call got picked up.

[What’s the matter?]

“As I said last time, I’ll give you a stake. Help me out.”
