I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 80. When you die, think of it as your son (2)

Luke had almost given up on finding the red comet. However, it was frustrating to stay still, so I was walking on the street.

Then, there was the sound of the world collapsing.

“Why do you think Keter is over there?”

Luke, who developed a prejudice, ran for a moment.

Misfortune clamors to never go, but if it was before, now I could ignore it and go wherever I wanted.

I finally found Keter. On the roof, he loaded the magic bullet.

What he aimed at was a huge red bat. The red bat, protected by the sphere of blood, looked very dangerous even at first glance.

“Luke, this is a joint attack. Squeeze out your soul and give him a shot!”

“Uh-huh!?”

Even in the midst of not knowing why, thanks to repeated training, it was Luke who saw the bow first.

The strongest skill that Luke learned was the Geumwoogung, which fires three arrows simultaneously in a triangle.

“I don’t think I’ll have a chin with this.”

Luke doesn’t say anything negative in the slightest, but the running red bat looked really strong. His own arrow felt like a toothpick.

Still, since Keter was also loading his magic bullet, he believed that he had an idea.

The red comet finally approached and opened its arms wide. It seemed full of will to catch it alive.

“Aww!”

Luke used the Geumwoogung with a spirit to shake off his fear.

Three arrows fly in a straight line towards the red meteorite’s head.

However, the arrows couldn’t even get close to the face and were blocked by the bloody spheres and vanished helplessly.

But this is not the end!

If it’s Keter’s magic bullet… … .

“Keter?”

At that time, Luke, feeling suspicious, looked up.

A magic bullet was lodged in his stomach. The danger this ability pointed to was not the Red Bat, but Keter.

Luke’s head lowered slowly. After checking the arrows in his body, he looked back at Keter.

“why… … .”

“You snored in your sleep.”

“… … !”

Choppag!

Keter pushed the shallowly embedded magic bullet with her hand and drove it even deeper.

The effect was immediately apparent.

Ayeek!

pitiful cry.

It wasn’t Luke’s scream. It was the scream of the red comet that had rushed at it with tremendous force, clutching its chest in agony.

“nice!”

Keter didn’t miss this opportunity and flew straight towards the red comet.

The bloody spheres had already turned into clots of blood and were scattered on the floor. Keter jumped high to avoid the red comet’s seizure of arms.

Quaang!

In the heart of the suffering red comet, the magic bullet’s curse was spreading. Luke’s reflection of misfortune even reflected the magic bullet’s curse.

Luke’s reflex ability transfers damage to nearby ‘life’ excluding the attacker. And now, there are only three of them around here.

Luke, Keter, and the Red Comet.

In other words, all the damage Luke would have suffered was delivered to the red comet.

Why didn’t you shoot yourself and go through such a cumbersome process?

If he had just fired a magic bullet, one shot would have been blocked by the bloody orb surrounded by a red comet. Both feet if unlucky.

However, thanks to Luke’s appearance, he was able to hit the magic bullet with just one shot using his reflex ability.

Save magic bullets, block variables.

There is no reason not to.

“When you die, think of it as your son.”

Landing on the back of the struggling red comet, Keter grabbed the aura arrow in her hand and stabbed it deep into the back of her neck.

Awesome profit!

The red comet struggled even louder. Keter held the arrow with both hands and pushed it deeper.

The red comet, which had been writhing for a long time, broke buildings like cookies, and then collapsed forward.

Wow!

A red comet collapsed on a pile of stones. A thick cloud of dust rose. Coughing up, Keter took the new aura, Arrow.

Fu-wook!

Aura Arrow stuck in the same place again. It was Keter, the principle of making sure killing confirmed.

Push this profit… … .

Is it the effect of confirmation kill, or is it the red comet’s power exhausted? Steam billowed from the huge fuselage.

The steam that was so strong that it covered my eyes quickly died down, and the giant red bat disappeared before I knew it.

Instead, there was pure white downy hair and lice.

“Are you alive?”

Keter tapped the tooth with her forepaw.

There was no reaction.

When you pick it up with your hands, your body sag.

But it wasn’t dead. I could feel the pulse in my fingertips. Now he just looked stunned.

“You survived. Boy, congratulations.”

I wasn’t being sarcastic. Keter was sincere.

What survived is great. It was the absolute unchanging truth that Kether pursued.

Putting the tooth in her breast pocket, Keter turned around.

“At this point, the little boy should come running and grab me by the collar.”

Even after waiting a little longer, Luke did not come.

When I went back to look, Luke was down.

Similarly, Keter, who had touched it with his foot, nodded and spoke like a researcher.

“Is this the limit of Luke now? If you hit the magic bullet level properly, your physical strength and mental strength will run out. Look, there are no wounds on the body. There are reasons for good skin.”

Forcibly waking up a person whose physical strength or mental strength was depleted would cause serious aftereffects, so Keter had no choice but to carry Luke on his back.

“You are the third to be carried on my back. I know with honor.”

Keter’s legs trembled. While fighting the red comet, Keter’s physical limits were the same.

No matter how much I blocked it with Amaranth, it was the breath of an A-class named monster. I got hit right away, but there was no way my body would be fine. Muscles all over the body were torn and bones were all broken. Excruciating pain engulfs her body even when she breathes.

However, rather than frowning or screaming, Keter sighed from time to time.

Just then, a person came out of the alley and blocked Keter’s way. It was a mercenary who followed Cork.

“I can’t believe my eyes. To catch an A-rank named monster alone.”

“You blocked that great guy’s path, so he’s even greater.”

“Don’t think we are cowards.”

he wasn’t alone

One after another, other mercenaries appeared. They blocked Keter’s way, so there was no room to squeeze in.

“I have no desire to hurt you. Just stay still like this.”

Completion of the quest ends with arriving at the guild.

Even if Cork has finished the transport request, you have to go back to the guild, and even if Keter has caught the red comet, you have to go back to the guild and write a confirmation that it’s over.

In other words, if you can’t enter the guild, that’s not a win.

Keter put down Luke and summoned Amaranth.

“Since when did mercenaries become knights, Won. You guys are disqualified as mercenaries.”

It was the time when arrows formed in Amaranth.

A group of mercenaries appeared behind Keter’s back. One of them stepped out and shouted.

“Since when did mercenary become a collective term for bastards who serve their masters!”

He was a mercenary who harassed Luke at the request of Keter. The number was seven, but all were Platinum class or higher. All of the gold class attacked Luke, but ended up in the hospital.

The mercenaries on the Cork side stood up and shouted.

“You’re helping Keter too!”

“Of course, it’s because I’m a commissioner!”

“… … !”

“Are you guys risking your life for money from Cork?”

However, there was not a single mercenary who even lied.

The only things Cork spared from his men were the sweet whispers and fears of the future.

There are mercenaries who received magical tools from Cork, but they were given to fight the madman Keter, not with good intentions.

Hansen was among the mercenaries on Keter’s side, and Hansen pointed to Luke and said,

“I will take care of this guy.”

“You know how to do it in a sensible way.”

Taking care of Luke, Hansen stepped back.

The morale of Cork’s men was noticeably lower. They were busy watching each other.

Besides, it would be too much to deal with just one Keter, but six platinum-class mercenaries joined together. Even if you fight to the death, the odds are gone.

Eventually, the mercenaries came up with a plausible excuse to avoid this fight.

“Eight! I’ve done enough!”

One mercenary broke away from the ranks.

Then the other mercenaries also scattered, throwing a word at a time.

“Like riches and fame, you have to live once to have a chance.”

“I have a wife and children at home, stop!”

“I can’t fight Keter, my lifesaver.”

From noble mtl dot com

The mercenaries who scattered once scattered.

However, there was one mercenary that remained unexpectedly. The mercenary, who fixed his weapon with a stern expression, opened his mouth.

“I received a commission from Cork. I will keep my promise to my clients.”

hooked

An arrow stuck between the mercenary’s forehead.

It was over.

Keter lowered the amaranth and started walking towards the guild again.

Seven mercenaries following him. They did not mourn the mercenary who died blocking the road alone. It is because he knows very well that Keter killed cleanly was acknowledging his opponent.

A mercenary who died while fulfilling his will alone in front of an overwhelming force is a true mercenary. There is no reason to feel sorry for such a mercenary.

* * *

In front of the Mercenary Guild.

The mercenaries who were Cork’s subordinates eventually returned to the guild.

It didn’t block Keter’s path. They backed Cork simply because his ambitions were likely to come true.

But now it doesn’t even matter.

Keter’s prestige is greater than they imagined, and half of the mercenaries are on Keter’s side. Furthermore, didn’t Keter complete an S-class request that was considered impossible?

Now all the mercenaries who supported Cork recognized Keter. Keter was at least fair, and Cork was cowardly.

Then Cork’s cry was heard from afar.

“Keter is in! Stop! What are you doing, you idiots!”

Her hair was damp and her eyes were bloodshot, as if she had run from a distance.

However, his subordinates, who thought the game was over, ignored his words. Keter also gave Cork a smile and entered the guild.

Cork gnashed his teeth as he sped up even more.

‘It’s not over yet. That bastard needs to be confirmed that he has completed the quest. On the other hand, I just have to sign and it’s done.’

It’s not over yet. I have a chance too!

In the eyes of Cork, who was running with all his strength, he suddenly saw a strange sight.

‘I can’t see the door of the guild.’

It was none other than the mercenaries who supported Keter blocking their path.

“What!?”

Cork’s eyes were poisonous. He drew his sword while running. I was thinking of breaking through without stopping the speed.

The mercenaries also drew their weapons, putting their shields in front of them without backing down.

Cork made them plastic.

‘Do you think you guys who are only platinum level can stop me?’

His sword is, of course, a magic tool, and it is a whopping level 2. If you inject an aura here, the power to cut even the same aura at once comes out.

Cork, who had come close, thrust his sword with all his might.

“I’ll split you with the shield!”

The mercenary with the shield also shouted in response.

“It’s crazy and crazy!”

A mercenary who bent his shield at an angle and let his sword flow through the concave part.

The mercenaries on the left and right crossed their swords and blocked the cork sword from the front.

Kwajangchang!

The shields and swords that blocked Cork’s sword split apart. The shock wave also shattered the guild’s windows.

Through the broken window, I could see Keter’s back as she filled out the confirmation. The way he writes so leisurely that it’s disgusting.

Cork, who couldn’t break through at once, hurriedly swung his sword again.

“Vicky means, you bastards!”

The excited cork sword could no longer be called swordsmanship. But it was threatening nonetheless.

Cork groped his back. I was thinking of using more magic tools to break through.

But there was nothing in hand. It was the vacancy of the magic tools given to the mercenaries to cut off Keter’s limbs.

“Oh, no!”

Cork, who was caught in the ankle by the mercenaries who looked down on him, eventually harbored a will to live. With the intention of killing the mercenaries, he practiced swordsmanship.

It’s because it’s covered by magic tools, and as befits a diamond class, the body’s swordsmanship is also excellent.

The mercenary’s formation collapsed at once with the determined swordsmanship. Then, right before I run away-

Tae-aeng!

Cork’s sword was hit by something and snapped backwards.

Holding an amaranth in her right hand and a confirmation in her left, Keter said to Cork.

“If you’re going to mess around, do it in front of me.”
