Chapter 152 The End and The Beginning

Part 2

It was a perfect and splendid move. It was no mere coincidence that the Barrel Bandit Group was able to repulse the Gladys Knights Order, who were famous for their power, time and time again.

Barrel Bandit Group has no mercy. The Barrels allow everything. Looting, killing, and raping.

Their freed desires have been sharpened under a strong Leader, and they are now boasting a morale and a leadership that is unmatched by any regular army.

The leader of the Barrel Bandit Group, Jeffroy Barrel, sat on a huge barrel, the symbol of their group, while quietly quivering with a sensation of elation that he hadn’t felt recently.

One of my men, a man armed with light armor, came trotting over me and gave me a brief report.

“Oyaji, we deployed the bulkhead.” (Light armor bandit)

“Aaah, well done.” (Jeffroy Barrel)

“But was it alright? We’ve covered a lot of ground, so there’s hardly any left.” (Light armor bandit)

“It was a valuable Relic...... But, it was unavoidable. We can’t let them escape in the off chance. We are bandits. We bet everything when we came here.” (Jeffroy Barrel)

“Y-yes.” (Light armor bandit)

It had cost us a lot. The Relic that creates bulkheads at will was a consumable item, and although we had attacked numerous cities and merchants, we were still unable to acquire a similar item.

But even so, if I can get the head of a Level 8, then it will be worth using it. I won’t spare anything to do it.

If I could bury 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, the one who had slaughtered several illegal magic organizations and large-scale bandit groups, then the name of Barrels will be known throughout the underworld and we will be known as the strongest.

On the other hand, failure is unacceptable. We mobilized almost all of our members. We have invested most of our resources, including purchasing powerful poisons and mythical flying beasts from a Magic organization. On the off-chance that we lose, the Barrel Bandit Group who had spent twenty years to accumulate their strength would be destroyed.

“Have you finished questioning 《Infinite Variety’s (Senpen Banka)》 friends?” (Jeffroy Barrel)

“No. The only thing they said was that he was a dark-haired man ―― They didn’t give up any important information. All that came out of their mouth was screams and words adulating us.” (Light armor bandit)

Jeffroy’s black eyes narrowed slightly towards his subordinate who was having a devious laugh.

This is Jeffroy Barrel’s gamble of a lifetime.

At first, Jeffroy wasn’t aiming for 《Infinite Variety’s (Senpen Banka)》 head.

When he received information from his subordinate who had infiltrated the Gladys Knights Order, that a nomination request to defeat them had been issued to 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, he was planning to quickly withdraw from the territory and move to another country.

Level 8 Hunters are monsters. Jeffroy is also confident in his strength and many of his subordinates have been training on a regular basis.

If you include his leadership, they have the power to rival Gladys’ army, but a high-level Hunter is a mighty warrior. I don’t intend to lose, but the risk was too great to go head-to-head against him.

It was during our withdrawal from Gladys territory that I changed my mind ―― It all started when we encountered two travelers while we were crossing the mountain inconspicuously.

When Jeffroy attacked them and easily captured them, they identified themselves as Members of 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》.

It was the name of 《Infinite Variety’s (Senpen Banka)》 Party.

It would be a lie if I say I didn’t expect them. Barrels started to withdraw after he had heard about the nomination request made to 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》. The timing was too perfect for it to be a lie and very few people knew that 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 was heading to Gladys territory.

The two men were reasonably strong. At the very least, they had more abilities than mid-level Hunters.

“!? ????? W-What the hell?” (Jeffroy Barrel)

Up until now, I had always kept my cool in any kind of situation. But now, for the first time in a long time, Jeffroy had stopped thinking.

The thing that had pierced the ground slowly rose up.

That was a gray-skinned human. No, I don’t know if you can call that a human or not ――.

An enlarged body with extremely developed muscles. There was nothing covering its body, only a bright red brief was covering its crotch.

It didn’t have a weapon, but if you were hit by its abnormally long arms, then you wouldn’t come out unscathed.

Finally, its head was covered with a paper bag and was fastened with a ribbon.

Its outfit looked like a joke. Its head shook, and the two large eye holes were pointed at Jeffroy, who was completely rigid.

“Kill, kiLL...... KIll............ KILL......?” (Gray-skinned human?)

When he muttered that in a far too cute voice compared to its height, the creature jumped. As soon as it landed, it leaned forward and rushed like a cannonball.

It was a spectacular sprint. With a big swing of its arms, it crushed the ground and was then out of Jeffroy’s sight in the blink of an eye.

Everyone who was packed in front of the gate was speechless and was frozen. None of them could do anything, whether it was men who were armed and trained to yell at the first sight of an enemy or men who were trained to remain calm at all times and endure any kind of torture.

Jeffroy was the first one to come to his senses and shouted in a quivering voice.

“!? ??? What was that, just now!? Chase it! Chase ittttttttttttttttt!” (Jeffroy Barrel)

You already couldn’t see the shape or the shadow of the mysterious object.

A subordinate had his eyes opened in shock and strongly shook Jeffroy’s shoulder with a trembling hand. His face was white.

“O-oyaji, look over there ――” (Subordinate 2)

“Huh!?” (Jeffroy Barrel)

Jeffroy looked at the end of the tips of his fingers, and this time, Jeffroy was stunned.

Unintentionally, I dropped the axe that I was holding firmly. However, I couldn’t afford to pick it up.

The rocky bulkhead was three meters high.

And from far above that, a dull-colored helmet was quietly looking down at Jeffroy.

Thanks for reading! Sorry for the late release, there was some problem on the website. But it should be fine now.

If you forgot Kilkill’s voice is similar to Pika’s voice in One Piece.

Tchao à plus!

Footnotes

The first two “kill” were pronounced with a slight variation like accentuating the first syllable or the second one. But the last “KILL” was written in english.
