Chapter 1. Grasp your weakness and shake it. (5)
In this situation, it is meaningless to ask, “Did you call me?” Anyway, it will be just me and them.
The three of us exchanged glances at my curt reply. Among them, the man who called me out first opened his mouth.
“This is just as I thought.”
“what.”
“I thought you had some guts.”
“At the gambling house earlier?”
The man’s mouth parted at my slow reply.
“If you knew, the story would be faster.”
The three men took out weapons they had hidden in their arms.
A baton and a club. Because it doesn’t have a blade, its lethality is lower, but that doesn’t mean the weapon can’t kill people.
If you beat them until their bones break and their flesh shatters, they will eventually die.
‘Tsk tsk.’
I clicked my tongue inwardly. This is because I realized where those people belong.
‘They are the ones who catch runaway prostitutes.’
They don’t want their products to spoil, so they carry bladeless weapons like that. But that’s not their only job.
There were several nails stuck on the end of the weapon one of the men was holding. And there was a dark red blood scab on top of it.
‘It’s probably the pillar of a runaway prostitute.’
They would have beaten him up as an example and warned the prostitute. If you run away again, you’ll end up like this too.
The wounds from being beaten with a nail-pierced weapon like that are terrible. The prostitute who saw that would have lost her will to run away.
‘No matter how many times I come, bad guys stick around.’
Anyway, it was a good thing.
I can complete my work without feeling guilty. Although there wasn’t anything in particular.
The man in the lead raised a stick and hit it on his palm.
“You seem like a well-bred young master, so please show me special kindness.”
“What patron?”
“Except the money you brought with you in the beginning, only give away all the money you earned today.”
The man next to me hit the floor with the club he was holding. A metal sound came from the nail at the end.
“If you leave it here, I’ll send it to you in a nice way.”
The third man with a scar around his eye made a popping sound with his fist.
It was a clear gesture of intimidation. Of course, it didn’t work for me at all.
I giggled.
“What are you going to do if you don’t like it?”
The three people looked at each other and made expressions as if they were seeing all kinds of crazy people. The man in front answered.
“If you don’t like it, you have to get hit.”
“try.”
I cocked my finger in an arrogant manner. A blatant sneer appeared on his lips.
“If I can.”
It was a bravado that could be seen because there was some belief in it.
“That bastard!”
The last man rushed in with a club. The guy’s club swung wide, aiming at me.
I put my hand into my arms and my eyes lit up.
‘under.’
As soon as I thought about it, I bent my knees and lowered my body. It wasn’t difficult to avoid because the movement was large.
I felt the dagger I carried for self-defense at my fingertips.
‘What should I do?’
The worries were short-lived and the decision was made in a moment. My body moved on its own, as if being drawn by something.
“-!”
The hand stretched forward in the same motion as taking a dagger out of one’s pocket. Toward its defenseless lower body.
“Aaaah!”
Quickly and powerfully, the sharp dagger cut the man’s ankle. Bright red blood flowed along its path.
The guy grabbed my ankle and fell to the floor.
“Aaaah!! Damn it.”
He swore and stood up with his hands on his knees. No, he tried to stand up.
“Ahh…!”
It was only a cut on the back of his ankle, but he felt as if his entire ankle had been cut off. And he was never able to put that ankle on the ground again.
“Ugh.”
The guy barely managed to get up from the floor holding on to his stick. It seemed difficult even for him to lift his cut ankle.
I tried not to look surprised.
‘What is this body…? … .’
In the original work, Abel never learned swordsmanship. However, he had more experience cutting the flesh of ‘humans’ than anyone else in the territory.
Where do you cut the other person in pain, and where do you cut the other person and prevent them from moving? I know it in excruciating detail.
And that experience and knowledge were faithfully accumulated in this body.
‘Cutting others… … Too natural.’
A perfect understanding of weaknesses that is almost instinctive, a decisiveness without even the slightest hesitation in cutting people, and movements so precise that it gives you goosebumps.
he is… … He was a murderous genius.
‘He truly deserves to become a murderer unprecedented in the history of the empire.’
I tightened the hand holding the dagger. At the same time, I felt the strong scent of blood rushing into my nostrils.

“…….”
Every time it moved, the blood that flowed out stained the floor.
Excited, Excited.
My heart was beating so fast that it hurt. I frowned and placed my hand on my chest.
‘What is this feeling?’
The intense pounding was closer to pure cheering. Abel’s heart was truly beating with joy right now.
‘this… … ‘That’s right.’
The reason why Abel’s father did not teach him swordsmanship occurred to me later.
Abel enjoyed seeing blood and was born with a mania that made him more driven to kill. This impulse would even come back periodically and fuel Abel.
‘So Diego continued to try to oppress and control Abel.’
I bit into the tender flesh in my mouth.
I kept hearing things like auditory hallucinations. It’s as if he’s encouraging me to cut open that guy’s chest and take out his heart.
It was a very powerful whisper that deceived people. It felt like everything would be comfortable if I left myself here.
‘… … no. ‘Don’t listen.’
I held on tightly to reason and tried to return to reality. If you give in here, it will go out of control.
I tensed my stomach and exhaled slowly. I tried to calm my wildly pounding heart.
In reality, it was very short, but it felt like a very long and painful time. Time and time again, I withstood the tidal wave of impulses that threatened to engulf me.
“…….”
At some point, the voices that filled my head gradually faded away.
My pounding heart became quiet according to my will. The hand that was about to reach out towards the victim in front of me went limp.
‘Whew.’
It was a fortunate thing.
But I shouldn’t relax. Above all, we were still facing the enemy.
I took a short, deep breath and shifted my gaze to the guy in front of me. He was still struggling to move his legs.
“Why don’t you just rest?”
I moistened my parched throat and deliberately spoke in a relaxed voice.
“I won’t be able to use that leg for a while.”
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”
As he put an end to his futile efforts, his cheeks trembled with anger and fear.
Of course, he never attacked me again. I passed him and took a step forward.
“W-what is that guy?”
“What is this….”
The other two men looked visibly embarrassed.
This situation probably wasn’t in their plans.
“Who’s next?”
I waved the bloody dagger lightly.
I finally found out. There was no need to believe in it in the first place.
At this point, Abel was clearly a predator of those three.
“Who are you?”
“How dare you Lewis!”
The other guy shouted and ran towards me.
I wonder, is there such a thing as camaraderie among these thugs?
“Is his name Louis?”
I giggled and confronted the guy. Because of his excitement, his movements increased, and avoiding them was much easier than at first.
I dodged the attack just by slightly turning my body to the side. The guy’s defenseless back was exposed.
I stabbed him in the back of the knee with a dagger.
“Aaaah!”
The guy fell to the floor, holding his leg.
“If this part is cut, you won’t be able to walk.”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”
The guy was struggling and trying to get up. But his body betrayed his will.
It was like the body of an old man dying of old age, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t raise it.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”
Tears began to flow from the guy’s eyes.
I stared at the guy lying on the floor with an expressionless face.
The human body is weaker than you think. Even if you only suppress one critical area, it won’t happen.
In Abel’s ‘place’, there were occasional victims who took the opportunity to run away. By chance, the chains that bound them broke or the knot came loose.
At that time, Abel easily neutralized them with a single swing of his weapon. Like right now.
Of course, they couldn’t even try to run away… … .
‘It was released on purpose.’
Inducing the prey to run away and suffocating the desperately struggling one.
That was Abel’s play and pleasure.
“shit…….”
The one remaining guy held on tightly to the club. His anxious, trembling eyes looked back and forth between his colleagues on the floor and the dagger in my hand.
“What are you doing? Move quickly.”
I chased the hesitant guy. Then, as if to show off, he licked the blood on the blade with the tip of his tongue.
It was an action that was perfect for making him look like a crazy person, which would scare him even more.
“-!”
The guy’s eyes vibrated even more violently. I could see calculations going back and forth loudly in my head.
I slowly licked the blade and gave the guy some time.
‘Ugh, it tastes bad.’
Why on earth do vampires find this so delicious? Come to think of it, there were vampires in this world. Do you think we can meet?
While thinking about things like that.
However, the expression on his face did not contain even a single trace of emotion. Just a languid and relaxed look.
“Aaaah!!!”
Finally, the guy seemed to have made up his mind and launched himself. He shouted loudly, as if trying to hide that he was scared.
‘Hmm, isn’t the last one usually the strongest?’
Its movements had more loopholes than the previous two. It seemed like he didn’t lead them because he was good at fighting.
“Iyaab!”
This guy used a lighter and thinner club than the other guys. And he thoroughly protected his lower body.
‘aha.’
I guess they reacted differently after seeing what happened to the two guys in front. The hair certainly seemed to be the best.
Well, it’s no use fussing over it like that.
I instantly closed the distance and rushed at him.
“Hi!”
As expected, the guy let out an ugly scream and waved his arms around wildly.
‘Gap.’
My eyes flashed coldly.
wickedness!
The dagger cut under the guy’s armpit.
“Kwaaah!”
The guy lost his stick and fell to the floor.
“My arm, my arm!”
The guy’s arms were shaking limply like those of a doll. I held his shoulders and spoke kindly to the sobbing man.
“You’re feeling weak, right? If you don’t get treatment quickly, you won’t be able to use that arm for the rest of your life.”
Fear crept into the guy’s eyes. He shouted with all his strength.
“Please, please let us go!”
I shrugged. I had no interest in fighting an opponent who had lost his fighting spirit.
“Turn off in 10 seconds.”
“Yes, yes! Thank you!”
He bowed politely with all the decency in his life. And he chased down the other two.
“Wake up quickly.”
“Ugh, brother….”
“hurry!”
They supported each other and lifted each other up. And ran away without looking back.
I spoke to the backs of the guys’ heads as they walked away.
“I didn’t cut it too deep on purpose. You will be able to walk when it heals.”
The sound of shuffling footsteps faded away, and silence came over my son-in-law.
“Whoa….”
I let my arms go limp.
As the adrenaline surge subsided, a feeling of exhaustion enveloped my body.
‘It’s not easy to live as Abel.’
He clicked his tongue low and put the dagger in his arms. It became clean thanks to my diligent licking.
And he shouted loudly as if to be heard.
“Liam Schmidt. Why don’t you come out soon?”
Toward Liam, who is watching me nearby.
