CH 76

Duke, Please Repent! chapter 76

18. The Duke and the Arena (4)

Before waking them up, I scoured their arms, retrieved the cutlery, and tied them tightly with ropes.

Of course, the rope was not brought by me or Serpens, but they already had.

I wonder if the mouth of the guy who said 'it' would be the lightest, that... .

For convenience, let's call it Beomsam because it's 'Criminal 3' in the order of appearance.

He squatted down in front of Beomsam and slapped him on the cheek to wake him up.

1 O O O ... --,--

did you sleep well?

Uh, how?!

How and what? You already noticed? It was a bait operation. My colleague who was in an ambush came to see the signal and beat you up.

As we made eye contact and smiled, he hardened his face.

We already know everything, but let's give it a chance to confess our sins with a kind heart. Next time you're next to me

I'm going to wake up the fallen ones and ask the same question, but things are different. Or if you say something different from what we already know, you're going to get in trouble.

La, Serpens told me to speak.

And he is actually taking a step back and trembling.

Because of this guy, his acting skills are unintentionally improving. Bae's role was always 'although it was limited to a clever guy.

While keeping a smile on his face, he spoke as he was told, and Beomsam swallowed his saliva heavily.

You should be careful, right?

this is my adlib. As if it worked well, a little cold sweat formed on Beomsam's face.

Well, we're the last, so...

What did 'it' mean earlier? Where is the kidnapper so naive?

I am not doing this for fun right now.

Yesterday, when I heard from Serpens that they could feel black magic from those who came out as opponents of the Black Knight.

simply the naboo of the demon worshipers

I thought it was this

In the novel [Master of the Holy Sword], among those who worshiped the devil, there were also ordinary people.

When the continent was completely under the control of demons and turned into hell.

Will the demons resurrect the souls of those who sacrificed for them, giving them eternal life, freedom and desire?

It's all bullshit.'

How can you revive a soul that has already been eaten deliciously yum yum yum yum?

but they foolishly

believed in bullshit.

Not knowing that their soul was going into the belly of the devil, they committed suicide by throwing themselves as a sacrifice.

'I thought I would have used them again this time].'

Now that the slave issue became a big issue across the continent, it was difficult to supply any more. In the meantime, if five people go missing in each hall in one city, they will soon be found out.

'So I thought I might have gotten some resources from them... .'

But now I know for sure. That I was too naive.

The arena side filled the gladiator's head with strangers.

'Even if it suddenly disappears, so that even a report is not established... .'

came traveling alone. No, maybe two or three people were kidnapped at once.

Did he go missing while traveling, or did he meet a robber or thief on the way?

It was possible because it was very difficult to confirm it in this world.

I, we don't know when we'll be abandoned

It's like an oatmeal! Hired map... Has it been about 5 months now? 'I learned about it and saw these guys, who used to be nothing, suddenly became strong and ran rampant in the arena! That's why I don't know!

Everyone covered their faces with helmets, so how do you know it's him?

I don't know why, all five of them have the same physique as the ones we caught. Not once or twice, every time!

I guess he wanted to appeal to me that somehow he didn't know anything and just followed what he was told.

Seeing him speak out with an urgent voice, it's even more disgusting.

"Ha You mean you knew that? The end of the people you kidnapped?"

" that, that!"

"This bastard is one!!"

He jumped up and kicked him.

Now that I know that those who have been reduced to mere entertainment in the arena and died in ridicule are ordinary people who have done nothing wrong.

I turn my head to see them dying just because they are cruel

I think I'm going crazy because I'm still sorry... !

How dare you use them as an excuse?!

"Sin, sorry ! I was just doing what I was told!"

Don't be bullshit! After all, it's your choice to take on that job, isn't it?

As the voices rose, the people who had fallen next to them opened their eyes.

You are all the same!!

They kicked as well.

If I tell someone else like this

I never imagined that unilateral violence would happen.

Even so, it was not resolved at all.

The guys who had been kicked before they could even understand the situation had expressions that showed that they were unfair, but that expression seemed to arouse anger even more.

You're so excited.

I couldn't control my anger and was shivering, so Serpens was embarrassed and grabbed my shoulder.

I know! But you saw yesterday! What was going on in the arena!

It's fine. Now that you're safe, you don't have to worry anymore.

What are you doing?

This guy didn't understand anything now.

The heat that had been rising to the point of dizzy dissipated in an instant, and I felt a chill enough to give me a headache.

I thought I became a human to some extent, but I still have a long way to go.

"I have a lot to say, but thanks to you, my head has cooled down I have an urgent business right now, so let's talk about it later."

On the other hand, I could see Serpens sighing in relief, thinking that his comfort had been paid off.

Rather than blindly injecting divine power, the fact that he attempted such an attempt is a bit daunting though.

"So. What is 'it'? Also, where did you get it?"

That, just. Raising potential..., something? I'm not sure where it came from...

"Aren't you going to speak straight?"

I really don't know! I'm curious too

I asked him, and he said he didn't know anything about it! He threatened to put me in the arena instead of them if I asked any more, so I didn't even try to find out.

All three of them really don't know. As Beomsam-i said, it was really one of the Kenapurs... .

A magic reagent prepared with black magic.

Yes?

"It is to burn all of your life force at once, so that you can unleash the ability to go beyond your physical limits.

It is a method of triggering at once by administering the two drugs, which infiltrated and boiled the vitality in advance, and the two drugs just before the start of the game."

Yes?

It is cumbersome and has the disadvantage of having to feel pain before taking the second agent. Since it takes quite a while after the black magic penetrates, the advantage is that there are few traces of it when the effect appears...

For some reason, Serpens recites information about 'That's it'. It's also not enough to be reckless.

Now, wait a minute? That kind of information is

sifter .

Everywhere in the estate, something like this was hidden.

Serpens pulled back the hem of his coat-shaped robe. I opened the room with the bag that was moved inside it, so I could see the inside.

Inside it, something like a test tube the length of a middle finger was tightly packed. It's so full that it's hard to take it out because there are hardly any gaps.

If you look closely, you can see the number T and 2 on the cap... .

"Per ? Do you have an empty bottle of this?"

I thought I should check the efficacy, so I tried it. But it left space in the bag...

That's not to say that he caught and forcibly injected a person walking down the street. That's right.

It's not a question of why are you carrying an empty bottle! Why are you drinking something you don't know about! Didn't you learn not to pick up anything that fell on the roadside?!

Anyway, this amount of black magic disappears as soon as it enters my body, so it doesn't matter.

"Then how did you find out about it?

yo. This?

If you use your inner divine power in moderation and make a way...

Before you say anything to me, take care of yourself, man!!

I yelled at him out of curiosity, and he grunted, 'Where are you and me?'

It's true, but it would be absurd to deliberately let black magic run wild inside your body.

'Self-torture is enough!'

Serpence is too strong to hit, but if he were a normal person, his back

It's rude to slap and lament.

I think that person knows better than us, so we can stop releasing them now...

Shut up!

By the way, what do you do with these guys?

If we hand it over to the guards right now, the information that we are stalking you will leak out and try to destroy the evidence.

But if you let them go and let them run away, it would be impossible to release these kinds of people back into society.

I will live a really good life from now on!

"I will live without being related to crime again "

I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...!! Beom-sam, who was awake from the beginning, as well as Beom-il and Beom-dul, finished understanding the situation and apologized.

He looked at Serpens wondering what to do with these guys, and he looked like he was saying, 'If you can't kill me, will you kill me too?'

No, for now. Let's lock him up somewhere... we'll think about it later.

Get my hands dirty with these bastards

He didn't want to pray, and he didn't want to pass that karma on to Serpens.

'Besides, I ended up trying to the end, so it's more about me to judge the life or death of these guys:'

* * *

As soon as I finished telling them to lock them in, Serpens stunned them back.

Hitting the back of the head so hard I thought Serpens was trying to give them a stunned death.

all.

'If that's enough, how many hours would you just stretch out as if you were dead?!'

As I entered the inn with the three fainting men, I thought about how to make an excuse, but it was futile.

I went up to the room first and opened the window, so Serpens took it in secret and moved it.

Lydia-sama doesn't seem to have come yet.

...Ummm...

Roughly crumple the three stunned people in the corner

The serpens that had been placed glanced at me and glanced at me.

Why? Are you hungry?

It's not like that...

If you're not full by filling your stomach with strange things, would you like some of this?

I couldn't buy a meal replacement in the end, so I had no choice but to take the chocolate out of my suitcase and throw it at him. Even if I'm not full, I'll fill you up with sugar and calories

Serpens, who took the chocolate with a shaky expression on his face, misunderstood it, and looked at it again.

'That's not 'Pre-Serppens-Flight Syndrome', it just seems to have something to say... .'

If left alone, Eugenes is likely to return before he even opens his mouth.

Anything we can't say between us? Just say it comfortably, take it easy!

Yeah. Just thinking about the words you said today . Seriously, I don't think there's anything that can't be said.

So that I wouldn't say such a thing, you should have done well!'

Why did you reject the Divine Power? As long as you suffer from nightmares, is there any reason to do so?
