Chapter 26. Clearing the past. (4)
“Uh, huh?!”
Rather than worrying about Tom under the bricks, Jerry
“Uh, that black knight?”
I paid more attention to the black knight that appeared in front of me. When I unconsciously lifted my finger and pointed at him,
“… … .”
The black knight’s shiny black eyes turned towards him.
“… … “Hiccup.”
Jerry felt a sudden hiccup and hurriedly folded his fingers.
Even the slave who was sobbing turned pale and covered his mouth with his hand.
“Ugh… … .”
All the sons-in-law were quiet, except for Tom, who was groaning in pain under the fallen brick.
As if the god of death had entered.
Tap, tap.
The black knight lightly stepped over Tom on the floor and entered the house.
He was so tall that I had to look up for a long time, and his completely black hair and eyes had a magical aura.
The facial features clearly belonged to a young man, but the ferocious aura overflowed made it difficult to guess his age.
“… … .”
Jerry held his breath and looked at the black knight.
Their house was by no means large, but it was still cozy enough for the two of them.
But from the moment the black knight appeared, the atmosphere changed drastically.
A deep chill descended, and it began to give off the same gloomy feel you might feel in a crumbling abandoned house.
Coogung-
An unknown energy emanating from the Black Knight was taking control of this space.
Suddenly, my vision became dark and blurred, the air became so humid that it was difficult to even breathe.
“Why are you opening your eyes like that?”
The moment the black knight, who was looking around carefully, pointed at me,
“-!”
Jerry had to experience the fear of the nightmare he had been suffering from recurring.
“Da, da da da you!”
The man in the robe who crushed one of Jerry’s hands.
The dense killing power he had been emitting was now powerfully emanating from the black knight in front of him.
“I told you to close your eyes.”
The Black Knight showed his teeth and smiled coldly.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Jerry immediately lowered his head. No, he couldn’t help but fall flat on the floor and hit his face.
Rattling.
Every muscle, joint, and nerve cell in my body was shaking like crazy.
The terrible life I once experienced was imprinted in my memory as a memory I could never forget.
‘Why, why did we meet again?’
Although I prayed and prayed earnestly that I never wanted to see the man in that robe again.
In the end, the nightmare became a reality and Jerry was waving his tongue in front of me.
‘The Black Knight was the man in the robe?’
The gap between the man in the robe and the knight in black was too great to accept easily.
The cruel robed man who crushed Jerry’s hand and Tom’s.
He never touched humans and only killed monsters. Guardian of the just empire, the Black Knight.
How can these two be the same person?
‘Damn, something’s wrong with this!’
Jerry closed his eyes tightly, feeling the taste of blood seeping into his mouth. At that time when he was crying out desperately,
Step by step.
The black knight took a step toward Tom.
“Are you still living like that?”
His cold gaze focused on the blackjack that had fallen from Tom’s hand.
“I thought I wouldn’t use that weapon after that.”
A cruel sneer appeared on the black knight’s smooth mouth.
“I guess I haven’t tasted the spiciness yet?”
“Save, live… … .”
Tom barely spoke out of breath.
“Take it out, take it out… … .”
“From my experience, a beating is not a cure for people like you.”
As soon as the black knight finished speaking,
Sreung!
With a horrifying sound, a pitch-black sword was pulled out from his fingertips.
Sigh!
The pitch-black sword pierced right through the center of Tom’s forehead.
“—-!”
A scream that could not be considered human erupted.
The moment you hear it, it’s an ugly sound that makes you shrug your shoulders in horror and even covers your ears in pain.

Rattling, rattling.
Tom’s body beneath the bricks twitched like crazy. Bricks fell indiscriminately, adding to the heavy sound.
“-!”
The slave and Jerry couldn’t stand it anymore and covered their ears.
Tom’s screams didn’t last long.
“Off, off…” … .”
From the forehead, it became dry as if it had been sucked into the sword, and eventually even the mouth became distorted.
“… … .”
It took less than 10 seconds for Tom’s body to turn black. A grave voice fell over him.
“Death is the cure.”
The Black Knight pulled out his sword and muttered something unintelligible.
“It’s getting faster.”
And then I started walking again.
Jerry was face down on the floor, but I could feel his footsteps getting closer.
‘I die, I die.’
The man in the robe did not forget what happened last time. From what he said to Tom, he was clear.
So, he will soon end his life as horribly as Tom.
‘But, but…’ … !’
Jerry clenched his teeth until they bled.
I wanted to live. I wanted to survive no matter what I did. Even if it means selling your soul.
Step by step.
Finally, the black knight’s footsteps stopped a short distance away. Jerry could tell without even looking that his sword would be pointed at my head right now.
“The person behind you won’t come this time either.”
A low voice filled with laughter poured into the back of my head.
“-!”
At that moment, Jerry remembered something he had completely forgotten.
“Hey, knight!”
I could not bear to raise my head and cried out tremblingly.
“Mama, the Mare Guild is looking for a knight!”
Stand tall.
At that moment, the black knight’s feet stopped. Jerry couldn’t breathe as he waited for the Black Knight to speak.
“Mama Mare Guild?”
The black knight asked without smiling at all,
“… … This is the Mare Guild!”
Jerry almost bit his tongue.
“The Mare Guild is looking for me? why?”
“I don’t know why! “I was just told to bring the great Black Knight if I see him!”
“… … .”
“You may not believe me, but it’s true! Besides, that slave, the guy you killed earlier brought him here!”
In fact, he was a slave whom Jerry had secretly taken away, but the dead are silent.
The Black Knight was silent for a moment. I felt his sharp gaze pricking the back of my head.
“I have nothing to do with it! “I have no idea!”
Jerry desperately insisted that he had reformed himself.
“After seeing the Black Knight last time, I couldn’t help but be dragged around by Tom. “I tried not to do anything bad!”
“… … .”
“Trust me, please!”
The black knight, who had been listening silently, muttered softly.
“Carlo, what are you planning?”
Then I asked Jerry again.
“Then can I follow you?”
Jerry almost jumped up from his seat.
‘done!’
Although I didn’t know where the headquarters was, that wasn’t important right now.
‘I lived, I lived!’
What was important was that I barely survived.
There was no way he, the lowest member of the Mare Guild, knew about the headquarters. I just know one of the Mare Guild’s complicated contacts.
So, if you take him there, he will naturally contact the Mare Guild.
There was no way the Black Knight would kill him in that situation. Moreover, if you are lucky, the Mare Guild may even give you a reward.
‘As expected, it’s the Black Knight!’
The reason he killed Tom was probably because of his sense of justice. He must have been unable to endure the evil deeds that were immediately visible to his eyes.
“It is an honor to serve the great Black Knight! “I’ll take you there right away!”
Jerry shouted at the top of his voice and raised his head.
“… … .”
And then I saw a strange smile cross the Black Knight’s lips. A smile like a hunter looking at prey caught in a trap.
“… … “Driver?”
It disappeared so quickly that I wondered if it was an illusion.
“Okay, guide me.”
The black knight had suddenly sheathed his sword and was looking at Jerry.
‘… … Hehe, you’ll be okay, right?’
Jerry swallowed his saliva and hesitantly stood up.
“Follow me… … .”
And then he began guiding the Black Knight towards the Mare Guild’s meeting point.
* * *
“Geez, these guys are messing with their temper, so stop.”
I turned my palms over and grinned.
“You killed them all?”
“uh… … .”
The eyes of the man standing in front of me rolled around.
‘Did you say Jerry?’
These are bad guys who tried to extort money from Jack by threatening him.
After that day, he couldn’t have reformed and it seems he continued to do what he was doing and continue living that worthless life.
And luckily(?), it caught my eye while I was looking for the remnants of the Mare Guild.
Thanks to Jerry’s guidance, I was able to shake off one of the Mare Guild’s worst contacts.
Grung, Grung-
Requiem, which had swallowed up the life force of ten people, was shaking with excitement.
‘Yes, the vitality of a living human being is delicious.
Secretly licking his lips, he calmly asked Jerry.
“Are there any other contact options?”
“Eh, that. there is! “There’s more!”
Jerry swallowed his dry saliva and hurriedly turned around. I guess it’s because I know that if I say no right now, my life will be in danger.
And another hour later.
“These guys were beating up the old man?”
Another hour later.
“These guys were engaging in illegal gambling?”
How many times have you killed every contact you come across?
“… … .”
Jerry’s face went from blue to white.
‘X done.’
I could clearly see his feelings in the way he looked at me.
I realized that I wasn’t really trying to visit Mare’s guild, but that my intention was to stop them from the very beginning and kill them.
And that’s by only picking places full of criminals who do illegal things.
I intentionally left a witness behind. Those who witnessed everything clearly would say that the Black Knight delivered justice.
“Now, what’s the next contact?”
When I asked calmly without heeding anything, Jerry’s eyes wandered aimlessly.
“Well, I mean. next… … .”
“You probably don’t know, right?”
“No, no! “I know!”
Jerry hurriedly shook his head and turned around. And he started walking somewhere again.
“This way!”
And just as I turned the corner of the alley,
“Aaaah!”
Jerry started screaming and running away like crazy.
“Save people! black-”
Sigh!
Requiem flew from behind and pierced his mouth.
Push type-
The muscles that produced the sound shrank, and Jerry’s mouth curled inward.
Slurp-
It took less time than before to take Jerry’s life.
“Can I go this fast?”
After retrieving the Requiem, he waved his hand.
My current level was almost close to Abel’s level right before he was annihilated by Cain in the original work. I felt that the combination with Requiem increased dramatically.
‘Is it because of the subjugation war?’
It was a natural result as I was killing monsters like crazy every day.
“There is still a long way to go.”
It was planned to eradicate crime within the imperial capital for the time being. Next is crime around the imperial capital.
And the key to it all was sniping at Mare Guild and Carlo.
“You’re looking for the Black Knight. Your intentions are obvious.”
He grinned and took a step forward. Thinking of Carlo, who would go wild when he heard the news about her.
