I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 76. If you’re curious, bring 5 million gold (3)

“I won’t even kill you. Cut off at least one limb instead.”

The mercenaries were dumbfounded by Cork’s attitude as if he were looking for something he had entrusted to him.

“Chief. did you take the medicine? It’s not the other guy’s limbs, cutting off the limbs of the fixer.”

“Why do we risk our lives to make Kether an idiot? Even if you stay still, the victory of the branch manager is certain.”

The words of the mercenaries were correct in every detail.

However, what Cork wanted to hear was not ‘fact checking’ but blind compliance.

“Stupid bastards. Have you seen what Keter is doing for no reason? That guy is definitely going to do something. And that was obviously a ploy to sabotage me. He’s making jokes too, so why should I stay still?”

“Didn’t you promise not to do it yourself?”

“Why do you believe the words of that madman? Why do you think you’ll always keep your promises? You might have just told the truth for today!”

“hmm… … .”

The mercenaries swallowed their saliva.

It sounds plausible, but in the end it is far-fetched. However, if you openly said that it was unreasonable, it was obvious that you would hear someone say whose side you were on.

Cork raised the fire of momentum.

“Listen. You know what’s going to happen when he becomes the branch manager? You and I are all dead. Even if Keter leaves you alone, I will not leave you alone.”

The mercenaries flinched.

In the first place, there was no such thing as loyalty or loyalty in the relationship between Cork and his subordinates. It’s just a relationship based on power and power.

But I can’t come and get rid of it now. I know too many secrets of cork, and I have invested a lot of time and money.

“Still, fighting Keter is a bit… … .”

They knew that Cork showed no mercy to traitors, but neither did Keter, so the mercenaries hesitated.

Cork hit his chest in frustration.

“You guys aren’t knight-like idiots, so why are you thinking of fighting head-on? Isn’t there a moment when he shows a gap? He is said to be lying down in the square and sleeping. Where else can you be as defenseless as when you are lying down? attack from all sides No matter how smart he is, he still has two arms. If you attack at the same time, even if three are blocked, one will go in. Can’t you do something this easy?”

“If the surprise attack had worked for Keter, there’s no way he’d be alive.”

“Are we the same as those who failed? You guys don’t look desperate. Hope I might be able to get out of the liqueur. Even if it’s not that, isn’t it because I want to live with a loud voice in this sh*tty liqueur? How long are you going to live without paying attention!”

“… … .”

There were no people who easily stepped forward despite the words that pushed them into the harsh reality.

Of course, the opponent was Keter.

There were countless people who tried to steal Keter, and there was no mercenary here who didn’t know what kind of end they met.

No matter how threatened or howled, they were human. A person who can overcome fear, but can never get rid of it.

Keter was a demonic being that aroused the fundamental fear of humans.

Cork bit his lower lip. The reluctance to attack Keter was greater than I thought.

‘I can’t help it.’

No matter how hard you try, the mercenaries don’t seem to come out. Cork pulled out a last resort.

“I made a bet with Keter in this ordeal. Let’s bet each other’s entire fortune. Of course, I intend to share it all with you. because? because i love you you guys are my family Isn’t friendship thicker than blood? In the first place, I had no intention of asking Keter to be attacked, or just sending it irresponsibly.”

Cork pulled out the magic tools hanging from his waist and held them out.

“I will not lend my magic tools to the raiding party, but I will hand them over. Besides, I’ll give you an extra magic tool for the guy who made Keter an idiot.”

Only then did the mercenaries show signs of being tempted by the unconventional proposal. A mercenary stepped forward and said.

“If you give me a sword breaker, I will definitely bring Keter’s arm.”

Sword Breaker. A level 2 magic tool that specializes in destroying opponents’ weapons.

A tremendous conflict arose inside Cork, but if you think about it here and now, ‘What a pity? They said they were family?’, so I said it right away.

“I will trust you.”

A sword with a blade like a shark’s teeth, Cork who held out a sword breaker to the mercenary.

The mercenary gulped and received it with both hands.

“I really give it to you.”

“I will join too. If you give me a snake chain sword.”

“Take it.”

The snake chain sword, a level 1 magical tool that looks like an ordinary long sword, but expands like a whip when an aura is injected into the hands of its new owner.

After that, five mercenaries came out, and all of them had magic tools.

Cork, who lost a total of seven magic tools, was very bitter inside, but said without showing it.

“I will definitely remember and reward you for your courage and spirit.”

The seven mercenaries who gained material self-confidence went to Keter with magic tools.

* * *

The four mercenaries exchanged glances with each other.

Kether lying in the center of the plaza. The right arm is supporting the head, and the left arm is hanging down.

It looks like it could be easily dealt with just by attacking, but all the guys who believed that became idiots.

They planned their strategy carefully.

“Keter’s main weapon is two daggers. Even if he wields a dagger with both hands, there are only two weapons he can stop.”

“I, with the sword breaker, take his upper left. Even if it gets blocked, I will break the dagger to create an opening.”

“My chain sword is also easy to break through the opponent’s defense. Take the top right. The other two take care of the waist and legs.”

“If it’s the waist, it’s my axe’s turn. With this frost axe, I can split Keter’s waist in half in one shot.”

“If Keter tries to stand up, cut off his ankle with this scythe.”

After the plot, the mercenaries grinned.

No matter how you think about it, this operation was perfect. There are no gaps. It seemed like he could definitely kill Keter.

“It is a perfect operation that would have been possible even without magic tools. Isn’t it?”

“Agree. I should have enlisted instead of being a mercenary and aiming for a general position.”

“You never know. The treasure from the labyrinth will make that possible.”

“Heh, heh. hehehehe.”

They approached Keter with magic tools and the grounds of a perfect strategy.

But when I got closer, my hamstrings went numb. Death seemed to draw nearer to Kether.

“Kuh, keugh.”

“Keter is also Kether.”

“Everyone calm down. Not even a Keter can notice our ambush in this crowd.”

“That’s right. If we go according to the plan, we are sure to win.”

“Let’s each go to our seats.”

The mercenaries were scattered and found positions that made it easy to attack Keter at the same time.

But they hesitated for a long time without attacking. It was because they hadn’t properly discussed when and at what moment they would attack.

It was impossible to discuss because they were so far away from each other. It was strange to come together as if they were coming together again.

In the end, I hesitated so that no one would go first, but the exhausted sword breaker mercenary came out first.

When he took the first attack, the other three also attacked Keter.

But that was a different action than planned. Instead of attacking all at the same time, they attacked sequentially.

Fortunately for them, it was a very minor problem. Because even if the attack was in perfect harmony, it would be meaningless to Keter.

* * *

After being attacked, Keter did something that no one expected.

Rolling his body, he hit the sword breaker mercenary’s ankle and knocked him down.

Rolling on the floor?! The sword breaker mercenary doubted his own eyes even as he fell.

Dodging an attack by rolling on the floor is unmanly behavior and is regarded as the worst and greatest disgrace in a world where people live on knives.

Keter did that!

“I am not ashamed… … .”

This became the will of a mercenary.

Keter stabbed him in the spine with a dagger she drew before she knew it. Temporary full body paralysis and permanent paraplegia came at the same time.

Soon, the whipsword struck Keter, who was half standing.

Keter picked up the mercenary’s sword breaker and struck the whip sword.

aaang!

The two magic tools made a roar. By-products of the smashed whip sword flew in all directions.

And in the meantime, the third mercenary’s frost ax lands on the top of Keter’s head.

puck!

The ax is driven deep into the paralyzed mercenary’s shoulder. Keter lifted the whole mercenary and used it like a shield.

The dagger was in Keter’s hand.

Keter’s thrust targets the frost ax mercenary’s throat. However, the distance is a bit short.

At that moment, Keter relaxed her hand. The dagger left his hand and stuck into the frost ax mercenary’s throat.

Soon, whip sword mercenaries and scythe mercenaries rushed from both sides of Keter.

“I don’t write that way.”

Keter approached the whipsword mercenary and grabbed the whipsword with her hand. From the outside, it looked like he was holding the blade with his bare hands, but upon closer inspection, he was holding the bladeless joint.

At air-shattering speed, a single finger snatched the space for the body to enter, and Keter pulled the connection.

The whip sword stretched out and headed for the scythe mercenary.

The sickle mercenary jumped to avoid the flying whip sword, but when Keter slightly bent his finger, the whip sword also bent and wrapped around the sickle mercenary’s left leg.

The sickle mercenary’s complexion turned blue as if he knew his future.

“Oh, no!”

“Okay!”

Keter struck the face of the whip sword with the palm of her hand.

The whipsword, which had become loose from the blow, was pulled taut and easily cut off the scythe mercenary’s leg.

“aaagh!”

“Scream all you want. In the future, even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to.”

The whip sword mercenary abandoned his weapon and ran away.

At him Keter drew a dagger and casually threw it. A dagger thrown in a straight line towards a crowd of people.

“evil.”

A single scream pierced Keter’s ears.

Keter whistled and walked toward the crowd. The crowd split and made their way. At the end of it, there was a mercenary who had been hit by a dagger in the back of the head and was crippled.

“Ugh, please, please.”

Keter grabbed the crawling mercenary by the hair and lifted it up, whispering in his ear.

“Do you believe in a god?”

“do not be like this. I’ll tell you everything. Cork did it. And I’ll tell you all of his secrets.”

“I do not need.”

From noble mtl dot com

Keter grabbed his hair and carried it to the center of the plaza. The mercenary whose leg was cut off, who was at least sober, couldn’t even run away because of the blood loss.

In the square, the viewing board was opened before I knew it.

Keter’s punishment was expressionless. Like an artisan assembling a doll. Like a hunter dismembering meat.

The sight was neither cruel nor terrifying. However, what remained was the ‘something’ of the four people.

All of his teeth were pulled out, and the tendons in his wrists and ankles were cut. There is no blood. Keter personally stopped the bleeding. Because dying from excessive blood loss is a ‘reward’.

This is what the liqueurs call those who have been punished by Kether.

‘It’s a human centipede.’

It was nicknamed because it crawls on the floor wrigglingly.

“Kick-kick-kick.”

“The centipede newcomers will love it.”

The onlookers laughed cruelly.

Keter doesn’t care what you do to the ‘centipede’ you created. Even if it kills me, I will do it.

But is there a merciful human being in the liqueur that can kill these ‘bugs’?

Everyone laughs at the centipede, throws stones at it, and plays with it. and promise

I will not be an enemy of Keter. Even if it becomes an enemy, I will arrange a way to commit suicide… … .

Of course, it was Keter who would save people even if they committed suicide, but it was information they had no way to know.

Keter, who left the square without regret, disposed of the magic tools brought by the mercenaries.

“The damage is severe, and the quality is poor, so it’s 3,800 gold. Something better than that came in, aren’t you interested?”

The owner of the magic tool shop asked Keter quietly.

“No need… Anything related to the bow?”

“bow? No bow… I have arrows.”

“show me.”

“Don’t expect it. Because what I wanted to show you in the first place was a dagger.”

The magic tool store owner took Keter to the basement. Two arrows were fired from there.

“All of them are natural products mined from historical sites. This is a fragmentation arrow. At the moment of shooting, the point spreads into eight branches. It has an auto-retrieval feature. It’s a level 2 magic tool.”

“The one next to it?”

“hehehe, because I have eyes to see. Doesn’t it seem rare even to look at?”

Holding an arrow as if made of glass, the host held it out to Keter.

“Try injecting an aura into an arrow.”

“I did it.”

“I take it back.”

The host moved away from Keter holding a glass arrow.

Keter’s eyes sparkled.

“Doesn’t the aura disappear?”

“Heh, that’s right. Wasn’t it a fundamental problem with archery? Please clear up the issue of incompatibility with Aurors. But to tell you the truth, this is for decoration. There is no auto-retrieval function. What’s the point if you shoot once and don’t retrieve it?”

The owner, who returned the two arrows to their place, pointed to the wall and said.

“Keter. I know you’re curious, but stop trying to learn archery. The least popular item in the magic tool market is the bow. The magic tools related to the bow are said to be a drop among drops. If you buy the two arrows I just showed you, I’ll just give it to you for 1,000 gold.”

Considering that the average price of a level 2 magic tool was 3,000 gold, it was a very unconventional price.

Keter said as she pulled out a bill from her bosom.

“Deliver it to my office.”

“Are you really going to buy this only? What I was trying to show you is a dagger? It’s a level 3 magic tool! You’re a much better guy than the dagger you bought last time!”

“Ah, these guys. It was really well written.”

Keter showed me the two daggers hung from her waistband.

They look exactly alike, but one is filthy heavy and the other very light. It’s sturdy and has an automatic auto-retrieval function, so it’s a useful item, but Keter had no intention of relying on this dagger any longer.

‘Because I’m an archer.’

Keter thought of selling the dagger as well. He didn’t need a dagger because he had archery skills.

‘no. If I’m going to sell it, I’d rather give it a blind eye.’

As soon as he remembered the youngest, Keter’s mind turned to it.

In my previous life, I remember having a hard time trying to protect him because he had no fighting skills.

But in this lifetime, you can change it. If he made at least one body capable of protecting it, he might be able to go with him until the end.

“I’ll buy that dagger too.”

“yes? After all, swordsmanship is the best, right? hahahahaha! Let’s go. You know that level 3 magic tools are really hard to find.”

“The performance demonstration is over. How much is it?”

“You don’t see the performance? Then you won’t understand the price I’m talking about?”

“don’t worry. If you don’t understand, I’ll come back for a refund.”

“There is a point. 120,000. Gold, of course.”

“Wow f*ck. Are you really confident?”

The average price of a level 3 magic tool was 50,000 gold.

However, the magic tool shop owner paid almost 2.5 times the amount.

“You made up your mind to graduate from liqueur after giving me a shot, very.”

“Are you going to eat the liqueur solver because there is no one to back you up? So, do you want to go see the performance of the dagger?”

“Ah, okay. bothered. It’s not something I’m going to use anyway.”

“What are you talking about? If you don’t use it, who will use it?”

“I don’t know. I’ll buy it, so send it to the office. Subtract the arrow price.”

“Money?”

“The youngest will give it to you when you go to the office.”

The youngest is seventeen years old, one year younger than Keter. It is too late to learn martial arts at that age.

But, what if you make up for the late timing with magic tools?

“If I pour the elixir into it, something will work out.”

It was obvious that the money would cost horribly.

But Keter didn’t think it was a waste at all. money is meant to be spent It’s not for you to gather and watch.

Keter murmured, thinking of the blind man who was doing his bidding.

“More than the karma of the previous life, youngest child. You will go all the way with me.”

Meanwhile.

In the midst of searching for portable weapons as Keter ordered, Daat had no idea. Because of myself who was competent in my previous life, I know that I will live a spectacular life in this life… … .

There was no need to feel sorry for that. He had a friend – Luke Blender.

Even if he was captured by Keter, he was the first to be photographed, and in real time he was experiencing the greatest hardships of his life.
