264. Like killing bugs (4)
I slammed the engine room door and entered.
The window in front of the driver’s seat was soaked in blood.
dismissal. paper weave.
Sparks flew from the broken steering wheel and instrument panel.
On top of it, a corpse whose shape was unrecognizable was lying face down. Kicked by his foot, the corpse tipped over. Perhaps, it was the driver of this train.
‘There is no one.’
There is only one body in the engine room.
The scenery beyond the glass is covered with blood.
I approached the control panel to stop the train, but since it was automatic, I didn’t think I could stop it easily.
I closed the engine room door and got out.
I came from the farthest cabin to the first car facing the engine room, but I couldn’t see them.
If so, one possibility.
I entered the connecting passageway connecting the engine room and car number 1.
Then I grabbed the doorknob with my hand and pulled it. The door opened at the same time as a strong wind blew in. The green gas that filled the cabin began to escape little by little.
‘I can afford… … I don’t know how long.’
It was not an instant death poison, but prolonged exposure could be life threatening.
‘Let’s concentrate.’
negotiations and battles.
I checked my deck of cards once again.
He holds a sword in his right hand and the Book of Reverse Heaven in his bosom.
I analyzed the current situation and thought over and over again the reaction the opponent would take and how to deal with it. What he wants and what I can do.
“Whoa.”
cool head.
Don’t get carried away by emotions.
I calmed down and ran out the door.
Whoa!
The wind pressure like a whip hit her whole body.
If you let go of your grip on the door frame, you will be thrown off the train at hundreds of kilometers per hour. I turned over and jumped up with my arms and legs tight. on a running train.
“I thought you were coming. You waited a long time.”
there was an enemy
I raised my lowered upper body.
So as not to be swept away by the wind, I planted my feet firmly and looked ahead.
Cityscapes passing by quickly. Someone was standing on the train.
“You know we don’t have much time for each other, right?”
she grinned.
A tight leather outfit reminiscent of a racing suit.
The pupils under the purple curly hair were shining menacingly.
‘Well, all assassins are like this.’
Appearance is not as different as expected.
I opened my mouth.
“An antidote?”
“Here it is.”
She unfolded her jacket.
There were bottles of blue liquid in the inside pockets of the jacket.
“By the way, that poison is a special among special medicines. If you don’t drink the antidote within half a day, even if the goddess comes, you won’t be able to save it. I’ll catch you and give you five bottles. I need to save your lower body too.”
“…”
“By the way, I still don’t know why the poison didn’t work on you. That poison would chew and swallow a tolerable poison resistance.”
The assassin chuckled.
“If I give you the goods, will you leave?”
“Of course. What are you doing here for a long time? You don’t know when troublesome things will come.”
That’s a lie.
It was obvious without looking.
“It’s something that doesn’t suit you anyway. Hand it over to us. We’ll put it to good use.”
“You’ll regret it.”
“Regret? I don’t do that. It’s hard to make a living and you’re going to die. Where’s the time to regret it?”
I rummaged through my arms and took out the Book of Reversal.
Her eyes sunk deeply.
“Throw it this way.”
“Hand over the antidote first.”
“Hmm? Misunderstood who has the initiative…”
I smiled and brought the blade of the sword to the Book of Reverse Heaven.
The tip of the sword tore through the leather cover and entered.
“As you said, I’m a 5-star brawler, so I don’t really need it. I wanted to test the durability, and it went well.”
“…”
“Hand over the antidote first. I won’t say it twice. I’ll give you strength in 10 seconds.”
jjik.

The blade of the sword completely penetrated the leather cover and touched the inner pages of the book.
Although it is an SS-class item, in the end it is just an object made of leather and paper. I don’t know what will happen if it gets torn apart.
“Is this crazy?”
“If you’re scared, you’re welcome.”
“I’m threatening someone who’s arrogant. It’s enough if I kill you and take you away.”
“Three seconds left.”
2 seconds.
1 sec.
I gave strength to my hand.
“……stop.”
At that moment, the guy revealed his fangs.
I slowly loosened up.
“Let’s do a simultaneous exchange. Throw them at each other. I’ll give you the antidote.
“What’s the timing?”
“When this coin falls to the floor.”
She took out a gold coin.
I nodded without speaking.
“Okay. Let’s go clean.”
The woman rolled the gold coin from her hand, and it bounced high.
When the dancing coin is half way down.
Whoa!
A strong wind blew and swept the gold coins away.
“…”
The woman threw the antidote.
At the same time, I also threw the book.
Of course, it wasn’t the direction everyone wanted.
The antidote flew high above my head and flew outside the train.
I chased after him in an instant and threw myself as if flying. A precarious distance before falling out. I could barely snatch the glass bottle with my fingertips. I almost lost my balance and fell, but managed to get back up. When I turned my gaze to the front, I saw an assassin with a bewildered expression on his face.
“Is this something very important?”
On the first car of the train.
Belquist, holding the Book of Reversal, flipped the pages.
“I don’t think there’s much content. Isn’t it a trivial picture book?”
“…”
“They say it’s a special poison, so it’s clumsy. I’m far behind that woman.”
Belquist grinned.
‘As expected.’
That guy also inherited the White Dragon blood.
If he inherited the power of the ancient species, there was no way this poison would work.
Just like I did.
“Give it to me if you don’t want to die.”
The woman’s expression hardened.
“What if you don’t like it?”
Belquist grinned.
Then, he put the Book of Reversal into the inside of his jacket.
“……Huh.
The woman grabbed her face and laughed.
Afterwards, he looked at me and Belquist alternately, then twisted the corner of his mouth.
“My name is Spira Nyashmi. I am Macramda’s Master Assassin. Remember our names. Before killing the prey, it’s my only concern.”
serang.
With a harsh metal sound, a huge kukri knife was pulled out.
Spira spun her kukri around and bent her knees.
and moment,
her figure disappeared.
“Belquist!”
“I know.”
Belquist drew his sword without looking back.
The steel collided, and blue flames bloomed with screams.
“I’m in charge of this woman. Senior, please deal with someone else.”
another guy
I looked down
The steel ceiling of the train caught my eye.
I rolled right across the floor.
Kagagak!
A huge blade pierced the ceiling.
Curved inward like a crescent moon, it cut through the steel plate and approached me.
I jumped high and retreated.
A small shadow popped out between the cuts.
“My name is Flogel Niashmi.”
A neatly dressed girl in a flight attendant uniform is holding a scythe.
After all, that woman was not alone. Another colleague was lurking in disguise on board her ship.
A common impression that can be seen everywhere.
“Please remember my name and my sister’s names. It’s the last consideration we can give.”
“Why do you remember that?”
“Flo, finish it quickly! Procrastinating is annoying!”
“Yes, sister.”
Flogel dropped his scythe.
Those eyes shone coldly. Her scythe bent at an odd angle.
I responded by pulling out Bifrost.
“Big!”
It seemed to turn red in front of my eyes for a moment, but I bounced off several meters and rolled over.
wind blowing. I managed to keep my balance. If the distance had been a little longer, I would have fallen out of the train without moving.
‘This monster… … .’
The right hand was torn.
It cannot be expressed in words that it is simply strong.
I, who can even lift a 200kg weight lightly, bounced off like a toy.
“It’s a great sword. I was going to cut it in two with the body.”
Flogel blinked.
‘Is it like Taesan Thumbtack?’
An S-class skill that bestows devil-like powers on the owner.
If so, it cannot be dealt with with a simple struggle of strength.
I held the sword in my left hand.
Whoo!
The scythe’s signature crescent moon trajectory dug deep into its body.
Cut long and pull.
Kaga go!
I rolled over and dodged.
The ceiling of the ripped off train bounced off.
This woman is lightly dismantling the outer wall of the train, which I could not damage at all costs.
A ranker is a ranker.
Even if you can’t write an imprint, that skill doesn’t go anywhere.
‘Even so… … .’
The odds were.
If each cannot use a special ability, the result is determined by the default.
The skills cultivated and the sweat shed are proof.
‘This is a bit of a lie.’
You shouldn’t bump your weapon.
It’s a skill, and it’s a huge penalty.
I had just learned advanced weapon skills.
Sugak!
The sound of thinly slicing flesh.
The scythe stole a handful of flesh from his left shoulder.
There is no gap in the girl’s movements.
Normally, if you use an irregular large weapon such as a scythe, there will always be a loophole, but the girl in front of you is handling the weapon freely as if it were one body. It means that at least two or three levels higher than me in weapon skills. I escaped the slash by falling into the back of the train.
“Even if I can’t write an inscription, killing you is easy.”
If you try a clumsy shed, your body may fly in two.
Well, from the beginning, I was the type to push with strength rather than technique.
“How far can I run away?”
Slowly, the end of the train was in sight.
Flogel approached me holding the scythe alternately with both hands.
“If you had passed the Book of Reversal without any pain, at least it would have been sent without pain. Did you think that you could win without an imprint? A clumsy misunderstanding. My sisters and I have been through hellish training long before you were summoned.”
In an instant, I drew my dagger and threw it.
Flogel snatched the dagger blade with a nonchalant expression.
“That’s funny.”
“Maybe, isn’t it?”
“…?”
“If the tongue is long, it will die.”
You don’t even have to fight for a long time.
There was also no need to swing the sword dozens of times.
A single stab at the vital point is enough to end the breath.
There was one more guy, so there was no need to waste stamina here.
“I will kill you.”
The sickle used by Flogel is about 2m long.
The range is far superior to mine. That guy was using that advantage perfectly.
As the blade slid into my neck, I momentarily lowered my head to avoid it. Then, the trajectory of the scythe naturally bent. The huge blade wriggled like a snake, trying to cut through the whole body. It was a terrifying weapon.
‘this.’
After all, a ranker is a ranker.
therefore… … .
“It’s going to die.”
swish
light wind noise.
“……?!”
I plunged the blade into Flogel’s heart.
Then, with the sword inserted, he twisted the hilt.
Wow.
Red blood flowed from the girl’s mouth.
The scythe on my neck slipped powerlessly.
Flogel looked back.
There, out of breath, was Jenna climbing onto the train. The exit for Jenna to come up was handcrafted by Flogel with a scythe.
‘It would have been annoying if there was an imprint.’
Here, they are just ordinary people with slightly stronger powers.
He didn’t seem to notice that I dropped the antidote downstairs pretending to run away, that Jenna opened her eyes, and that she took out her bow after drinking the antidote. Well, because it doesn’t have eyes on its back.
“That’s why you have to tease your tongue.”
If you can afford it, take a look around.
I kicked Flogel. Her body was thrown out of the fast-moving train.
