I Became Strong At Night And Weak At Day Inside A Game

Of course, the alley is narrow.

Even more so if it’s a back alley that’s not even properly maintained.

It is hard to keep a number advantage on a narrow road where only one or two people can walk side by side.

And it decided whether someone would win or lose.

Ten gangsters were running from the front, but Ethan didn’t budge in place.

He just stands in place and puts his fist in the gangster who runs in.

It is refreshing to see him hit the abdomen or lower jaw precisely.

Ethan’s backside, which had already knocked three people out, was more like a combat machine I remember.

“Phew…” 

Ethan adjusted his breathing.

Judging from the fact that it doesn’t look difficult, it must be an unconscious habit.

As you can see, I’m cheering with Choco.

“Cheer up, cheer up.”

Choco on my shoulder raised both hands to match my voice.

Be strong, raccoon dog—no, it’s a raccoon.

Anyway, cheering is also a deal.

I’m cheering with Choco, so I’m doing it for two people.

– Tsk tsk tsk, really, you guys don’t know how to do anything if this body doesn’t come forward. 

Deathwise grunted again.

In fact, he can’t do anything without me either.

– …You rude guy!

Seeing that he’s angry, it seems that the facts are correct.

“The road is narrow anyway, so if I come forward to help, I’ll just grab his ankle.”

So, it is correct to say that I can’t help even if I want to help.

It’s not annoying or bothersome—.

“And the original main character doesn’t deal with the small fry.”

As I responded appropriately, someone growled behind my back.

“Are you telling us to listen?”

“Hyung-nim, is that punk smiling?”

There were two small fries that were attacking them.

They also raised their dagger and knife and ran toward me as if a fact had hit them.

“…You’re bothering me.”

– Karma, it’s your karma. Go fight quietly.

If I don’t fight, I’ll get hurt.

I didn’t like being hurt, so I pulled out Deathwise with the entire sheath. 

The sun is still in the middle of the sky.

So the ability of the demon sword can’t be used.

Even the buffs didn’t come either. However, the movements of the small fry were quite monotonous.

At this point, I can’t even keep up with Louis.

Buk! 

There is a strange sense of resistance to hitting people, but this is just self-defense. 

Therefore, without any hesitation, I hit them with Deathwise.

The small fry who had suffered a critical point simply fell down in vain.

“Phew!”

At the same time, Ethan beat up a dozen bullies and wiped his sweaty forehead.

Seeing that there’s not a single wound, it looks like everything is taken care of before he gets hit.

– Even if he’s a small one, he’s a pretty tough guy. 

It is also understandable that Deathwise admires it.

Ethan wasn’t the exclusive tanker for the Leon party for nothing. 

If you reconsider the fact that he was a Dealer Tank, not a Pure Tank, this is rather natural. 

– Hmm, Dealer Tank or whatever, you sometimes say something I don’t understand. 

There is something like that, just something like that. 

Anyway, it means Ethan is tough.

Considering that he didn’t even use his main weapon, his shield, it means he didn’t do his best.

“Ugh, uh…” 

The gangster flinched from the floor after being beaten by Ethan.

If I look at the orders he gave to the other gangsters earlier, he must have been the leader.

“Don’t get up, I’ll hand you over to the Knights.”

“Ha, then… You will regret it…” 

“Why do I regret it?”

Ethan cut him off coldly.

But the leader laughed as if it were funny.

“Hey, Felt… You’d better beg me to let go right now…No, you’re gonna beg…We’ve taken your brother as a hostage, who you dearly cares and saves…!” 

Felt trembled at those words.

She opened her eyes in disbelief but couldn’t help but look away nervously.

“…Where did you hide the child?”

“Tell me, do you want me to give it to you…?”

It’s no longer worth listening to.

There’s no way he will say it in the interrogation. 

Judging this, Ethan smacked the leader with his fists and knelt in front of Felt again.

“Don’t worry. We’ve already been involved, and it’s against chivalry to ignore a child in trouble. We’ll definitely save your brother.”

It was really beautiful, but it was the kind of words Ethan would say.

Except for the part where he said that ‘we’ were going to save it, not just him.

As Ethan said, I can’t leave alone as long as we’re already involved.

I didn’t want to force myself to escape and become harsh, so I followed Felt to the depths of the back alley. 

“Are you saying that’s the hideout?”

Felt nodded at Ethan’s words.

There was a shabby cocktail bar with a slanted sign when we got there.

“No way, it was the Corbus family.”

“Corbus?”

“It’s an organization that makes its name known in the back alley of Esset.”

To be precise, it is an organization under the largest illegal organization of Esset, Wipera. 

Therefore, they are in charge of all kinds of rough work in the back alley. 

In reality, it’s at the level of stealing items and money, but rumors were floating around in-game that they were also involved in human trafficking. 

“You know it well.”

“Well—it’s pretty famous.”

I glossed over Ethan’s questions.

Anyway, I didn’t expect to be reunited with the Corbus family like this.

The cocktail bar was also robbed once, so it brought back memories.

“…There is an entrance leading to the basement inside the cocktail bar. There is no other way than the main entrance.”

Pause

Unmute

Felt spoke briefly, in a voice cracked like the land of drought.

Hmm, after thinking for a while, Ethan clenched his fists and headed for the front door.

“Then shall we go?”

“Wait for a moment. There’s a hostage, are you trying to break through the front door?”

For once, I grabbed Ethan’s shoulder.

With a puzzled expression on his face, Ethan nodded his head.

“There’s no other way, right? She says there’s only one door.”

“No—that’s enough, come here.” 

I forcibly grabbed Ethan’s shoulder and dragged him to a nearby manhole.

When I used Deathwise as a lever to open the manhole, Deathwise kept grumbling.

I ignored everything and went down the manhole.

“Here?” 

“Secret passage.”

Ethan, who followed, asked, looking around the sewer in the manhole.

It was difficult to breathe because of the stench, so I gave a brief answer and stopped in front of a nearby water pipe.

“Smash it on top. as quietly as possible.”

Ethan, who shrugged his shoulders, silently tapped it over with a shield. 

He knocked lightly, but the bricks from the ceiling fell out.

A faint light flashed above it.

“Don’t tell me… It’s connected to the basement of the cocktail bar…?”

You’re a quick-witted kid, Felt.

Of course, I don’t hate a quick-witted kid.

I know this route because I’ve robbed the Corbus family once before.

I found a different route somehow because I knew I couldn’t see anything good through the main gate.

The craftsmanship of the development team stands out in this place.

I used the hole that Ethan made in the water pipe to climb up to the cocktail bar. 

The upper part is connected to the bathroom sink.

I checked the bathroom from the inside, then gently opened the door and looked outside.

I heard a faint voice.

Three people sit at a table near the bathroom and are immersed in poker.

I carefully closed the door and asked Ethan.

“There are three in front are playing poker, so please do it quietly. Can you do it?”

He nodded his head without hesitation.

Ethan carefully opened the door and went out without making a sound.

There has been no sound since then.

Soon after that, Ethan just whispered quietly through the door that it was all over.

In fact, everyone who was playing poker had passed out with their heads stuck on the table.

Seeing that the back neck and lower jaw are swollen, it must have been a fatal blow.

No matter what happens, I shouldn’t fight Ethan during the day.

I prayed so sincerely and began to search the cocktail bar.

“Is this the last room?”

Ethan, who cleaned the last room, shook his hand.

Even after defeating all of the Corbus family in the cocktail bar, he doesn’t seem to have used much of his strength.

I cheered with Choco this time, but maybe because his brother was involved, Felt did all sorts of things.

Whether she uses her quick feet to disturb the enemy’s gaze or turn off the alarms installed in various places—.

Even though she looks like she’s still around 10 years old, she must have worked hard to survive, considering she is quite talented.

Anyway, I killed my sentiments and shook my head at Ethan’s words.

There are a total of 6 rooms in the cocktail bar.

We went to each one, but Felt’s little brother wasn’t in any of the rooms.

“There is one place we haven’t been to yet.”

“Where?”

“Storage.” 

The storage is located in the innermost part of the cocktail bar. 

That’s enough to hide a few children. 

We exchanged glances and headed to the storage room.

Since the Corbus family was destroyed, no one could stand in our way. 

As soon as we got there, Ethan carefully opened the storage room door.

The space beyond the door was not a storage room. 

Candles flickered from columns regularly arranged in a spacious room made of stone.

Even though candles were burning everywhere, it was clear that the atmosphere was dark.

An altar was provided between the pillars.

And a blonde boy was tied to the altar.

“Lou—!” 

Felt tried to run forward.

But before that, Ethan grabbed Felt’s arm and pulled her back.

At the same time, the black sphere collided with the kite shield that was put forward.

“Ugh…” 

Ethan could not withstand the shock of the black magic and kneel down on one knee.

“I tried to deal with it all at once, but it was very disappointing.”

A languid voice came from inside the altar.

A strange-looking old man with a black robe walked out from the side where the voice had been heard.

“You… who are you…!”

Ethan asked, holding back his groan.

As if waiting, the old man responded by tapping his ground with the wooden cane he was holding.

“My name is Anirza in the dark valley, a black wizard who carries out the organization’s plans according to the great will.”

I’ve never heard of the name Anirza.

However, I could fully guess his identity if it was a black wizard, an organization, and a great being.

Because in the Broken World, all the black wizards belong to one organization.

So far, this is only a guess, but this altar’s components fit with the organisation’s style.

Visionaries. 

The source of all evil and the dark secret of the Broken World that calls itself that.

However, it is still a long time later that Visionaries appear on the surface in earnest.

It was actually an omnibus organization because it even said it was a dark secret, but there was no contact with the Dark Guild episode or the Karmuth Federation episode.

But in everything here, I can feel the smell of the Visionaries.

Have the visionaries already started their activities?

I don’t know the definitive answer.

What’s more important now is not the unknown answer but saving Felt’s younger brother, Loui.

Most of all, it doesn’t look like that crazy-looking black wizard, Anirza will let us go quietly.

“I wondered who was interfering with the great beginnings of meeting the true master of the world, and I didn’t know they were such young people. But it’s not bad. I will use all of you as sacrifice too.” 

No one asked, but as expected, Anirze explained his plan in an exaggerated way. 

Anyway, all the villains in this world are crazy about explanations.

“It can’t be like that.” 

Ethan, who was once again coldly ready, took the sword out with the Kite Shield. 

It’s cool to see him burn his fighting spirit, but Ethan can’t win alone if he’s a black wizard.

Unless I can use the power of a demon sword instead of night, it won’t be of much help.

Still, I pulled Deathwise and stood next to Ethan.

“You, that sword— don’t tell me—!?” 

Anirza’s reaction was completely unexpected.

“Does it mean that you’re not just a kid—!” 

What are you talking about?

I’m more surprised that you recognized Deathwise.

“I can’t underestimate you…it’s not time to do it carefully….” 

Anirza, who was talking to himself, took a scroll out of his arms and began to recite it.

Ethan looked like he was about to run, but he reflexively froze in place.

The movement of mana swirling around the altar was unusual.

In line with the rune recited by Anirza, Mana built its form as if it were exploding.

What was created was the upper body of a huge skeleton.

Anirza laughed loudly with the skeleton behind him, which was so huge that it pierced the ceiling and revealed itself to the ground. 

“Look! This is the power of the Great!” 

“Hey, take the kids and run away! I’ll try to buy some time!”

There is no chance of winning.

Ethan shouted at me for judging that.

“I don’t have to run away.”

But I didn’t move.

I just opened the paper that I had put in my arms with Deathwise on my side.

‘Construction, current state interference, mana control, inverse calculation, composition control—’

What comes out between the lips is a rune language.

The interpretation was finished as soon as I received it from Edmund. 

I know what the effect is, so I was just holding it just in case.

I didn’t expect to use it like this, but I was glad I had it now.

‘Occupation completed, process projection, and reversal technique commenced.’

I finished reciting.

Anirza’s gigantic skeleton stretched out its hand as if it didn’t want to wait.

At the same time as the sensation of something escaping from the body, a magnificent light bursting from the paper on which the runes were written engulfed the surroundings.
