Chapter 119

C119: The King of All Vicious Beasts (1)

Pantos starred in the direction of the Kunst auction house.

“What are you looking at?”

Alex, who was in the truck loaded with stolen goods, asked when he saw Pantos abnormal behavior.

“I was looking where we left.”

“Kunst auction house? Why are you looking there?”

“I felt something there.”

‘You felt something?’

Alex also stared at the Kunst auction house.

They had already crossed over a few blocks and were blocked by the wall of the building, so he couldn’t even see Kunst.

“What do you feel?”

“Huge prey.”

“What prey?”

This guy is saying things he doesn’t understand again. Is it because he is a Suin?

“But it’s dangerous.”

“What?”

“From its smell and presence this prey it’s not ordinary. It might be even more dangerous than all the preys I’ve encountered so far in my life.

Pantos shut his mouth as he spoke.

“What? Why did you stop talking? So, it’s at the Kunst’s auction house?”

“Yes.”

What really happened to the auction house since Pantos said that?

There were still their leader, Rudger, and Hans, who went to join him in Kunst. Nothing is going to happen to them, right?

‘No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let’s not worry about anything.’

Alex shook his head, dispelling his anxiety.

The day he met Enya he talked with Rudger separately and asked him one question.

“Hey, leader.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Come to think of it, the leader said Pantos is the second best fighter in our organization.”

“I did.”

“Who’s first place then? Is it leader?”

The answer that came back to Alex, who asked with a playful smile, was completely unexpected.

“The second place in combat power I mentioned is an evaluation given only to personnel in charge of combat. Of course I’m included.”

“What? Then who’s in the first place? Is it me?”

“Alex, you are third. Even so, you maintained good grades at the Knights Academy, so your skills are second to none, but it’s not enough to get first place.”

“Is there anyone who can be number one?”

“There is.”

“Who’s that?”

“When asked so, the name Rudger brought up was completely unexpected.”

“Hans.”

* * *

Hans suddenly recalled what had happened in the past while he felt his mind disappearing beyond the distant darkness. It was quite a while after meeting Rudger and pledging allegiance to him.

Even though Rudger knew about Hans constitution, he only made him do things that did not include fighting.

One day, Hans couldn’t resist asking when he saw Rudger, who handled everything with his own hands instead of asking for help even in battle.

“Brother, I have a question.”

“Say it.”

“Why did you accept a coward like me?”

Hans still didn’t understand why Rudger, who saw his real ability, refused to take full advantage of it. Rather, he thoroughly ruled out the fighting as if to be considerate of him.

“I used to run away like a coward even though I have this ability.”

“Is it because it’s weird that I accepted you like that?”

“To be honest......That’s right.”

He said this because he couldn’t believe him since he had been chased everywhere his entire life and didn’t receive anyone’s favor until now.

‘Yeah, I’m sure it was.’

What did my brother say?

“It’s because you’re a coward.”

I know it’s because I don’t like fights, but it breaks my heart when I hear it from others.

” No, it’s similar but different.”

If it’s similar, it’s similar. What else?

“Hans, you know very well about your powers. You know how dangerous that power is and how much responsibility there is. Aren’t you afraid? I’m afraid you’ll hurt someone on your own.”

“.......”

For the first time in his life, Hans realized that no words could come out.

Rudger, out of the radius of the explosion, frowned at the sight before him.

‘Is suicide bombing something normal among Liberation Army soldiers?’

In addition, Rudger, who was once subjected to this suicide attack, was naturally aware of their ways, and was fully prepared for it.

‘There was an explosion in a place where the silence of fire was maintained?’

He had also spread the [Silence of fire] around him, keeping it active all the time but there was still an explosion in this zone where a magic that suppresses gunpowder action was active?

‘It’s not a magic artifact and I couldn’t feel the lingering scent of the unique mana. That means it’s a bomb made of pure gunpowder.’

There was only one such case in his memory. It was a special powder that [Silence of fire] doesn’t work on.

‘The rebels have it?’

It was impossible because the special gunpowder, along with the status of James Moriarty in the Kingdom of Delica, was burned and the entire factory was destroyed without even a trace remaining.

‘I thought we had them all removed, but were there any remnants left? And they even joined the Liberation Army?’

The special gunpowder that the [Silence of fire] does not work on has fallen into the hands of the Liberation Army.

Rudger had a hunch that it wasn’t an ordinary problem, but thought he had to find Hans and get out of here quickly.

Then the outer wall of the building collapsed with a rumbling sound and all the lights inside the building went out.

“Aaaaaaah!”

Someone’s desperate scream resounded from beyond the hallway like the endless throat of a beast. Before Rudger could prepare for it, a black shadow flew in, rolled on the floor, and stopped at Rudger’s feet.

‘Person?’

It was a man in a black suit covered with blood. However, the eerie magic that emanated from him hinted that he was no ordinary man.

‘Is this the ominous magic power of a black wizard? They’re the ones who raided the auction house. But this is.......’

The wounds engraved on the black wizard body were neither from swords nor from magic, it was more like a trail of countless beast bites.

A normal person cannot make such a mark.

‘Did Hans make that?’

This was the identity of anxiety that he had felt a little while ago.

* * *

“Oh, my God.......My Kunst auction house.......”

Ivan Luke, who completed the evacuation outside, looked devastated as he watched the disturbance inside the building. Black guards were trapped underground, and suddenly black wizards, criminals, and Liberation Army forces appeared and made a fuss.

Perhaps because Ivan Luke had barely managed to escape, his hair scattered and several parts were torn and filled with dust.

“Director, it’s all right! The building is still intact and the evacuation of the guests is somewhat over.......”

“Guests? Now, wait a minute. Where is she? Where is she?!”

“Uh, uh, I haven’t checked it yet.......”

“What are we going to do if the princess is harmed? Hurry up and check it out!”

“Yes!”

The moment when the deputy was about to leave in a hurry.

“Oh oh oh oh—–!!!!!”

From the inside of the building, there was a howl of something. It was like the sound of something huge shouting, or a myriad of beasts shouting at once.

The emotions in it were endless hatred, anger and sadness.

People who were watching from the outside shut their mouths and felt tension run over their skin for an instant.

The sudden spread of fear brought silence around.

“What was that?”

“Aww!”

One wall of the Kunst building collapsed.

Considering the 8-story exterior wall and the exceptionally high floor height, it was almost 1.5 times the height of other buildings, so the rubble fell down in an instant.

People screamed and fled.

“What’s that?”

Those who escaped spotted a silhouette beyond the hazy fumes of debris.

“Wolf? Is that a wolf?”

It was the head of a black wolf that popped out of the rubble of a broken wall on the eighth floor.

They couldn’t understand why there was a wolf in the Kunst auction house, but their astonishment did not end there. The wolf’s head, which had only been seen at first, began to protrude outward one by one.

One, two. Eventually, when it grew to more than a dozen, people felt something strange because the body of the wolf was taking the shape of something else.

“Hand?”

It was a huge ‘hand’ not a wolf.

A huge hand with a beast’s head on each finger broke the outer wall again. The debris fell, and a cloud of dust engulfed the surrounding area but the people were frozen in place and didn’t think of running away.

He broke down the building of the Kunst auction house and appeared outside. It was a huge black-haired beast with a body height of over tens of meters and had the heads of countless beasts on its body

The head of the body was a terrible shape that looked like the skull of a skinny wolf. Those three heads, one on each shoulder, emanated a red glow from the black pupils.

Along with the twisted horns hanging over his head and the black mane fluttering in the wind it was a horrible heterozygous creature that resembled a hellhound entangled with countless creatures.

“It’s him!”

Someone who recognized the monster said in a trembling voice. He has witnessed with his own eyes what happened in that city five years ago.

He couldn’t forget that monster that still appears in his nightmares.

He once appeared in the Kingdom of Durmant summoning countless cryptids, and eating even the elite knights of the kingdom. He was the main character of “Blood Night” five years ago and the nightmare of the city where the incident took place.

“The Beast of Jévaudan!”

The king of all violent beasts was resurrected in Leathervelk.
