Episode 140: Men are Power (2)
… Flash!
Dark red slashes crossed each other.
As Bikir landed on the floor, he felt a throbbing pain in his wrist.
‘It’s quite heavy. Even if it rots, it’s a graduate.’
When I turn my head, I can see the figure of a monster over there collapsing the outer wall of the building and crashing into it.
[Grumble… … ]
He was holding a large hammer, and the sticky aura that symbolized the graduate completely coated the hammer’s large surface area.
bubbling bubbling… …
The aura of a monster that looks like boiling tar or liquid asphalt.
It is estimated that the level is at the advanced grade level.
Bikir looked at it and narrowed his eyes.
‘Just now, it’s clearly a blunt technique of a religious chant. Why did the devil use this skill?’
It was a great irony that the Rune Church’s holy power was clearly at the opposite end of the devil’s, and that the weapon technology to draw out that divine power was unfolded by the devil’s hand.
‘Is Quo Vadis also related to the devil in some way? but… … There must be some rotten parts there too.’
It is possible to catch a clue about one of the ten times, the ‘face hunter’ secretly installed in the ecliptic.
All the traitors, defectors, and snitches I’ve hunted so far are dealing with the same devil, and what they have in common is that they lose their faces immediately after they die.
And the monster in front of me also seems to be a similar case, judging from the fact that he is wearing a black sack over his head.
Bikir put mana into his sword in earnest.
“First, I’ll chop off the limbs. Interrogation is all you need.”
An aura emanated from the demonic sword Baalzebub.
Graduator’s top-notch, solid-like aura stretches out and draws the trajectory of a half moon.
jjeook-
A solid marble stone pillar cut diagonally.
The monster hurriedly raised his hammer to block the slash, but was unable to avoid the falling debris.
… Kurleung!
Before long, the monster broke through the stone dust and dirt and jumped out.
His muscular body was revealed when his black suit was terribly torn, and on his chest, letters that looked like they were carved with a knife were crookedly inscribed.
‘Ephebo’
“Ephebo? Is that your name?”
When Bikir asked, the monster did not answer. but.
… Whoop!
It just radiated a more intense aura from his body.
However, it was only an advanced grader level, at that level, it was only at the level of the time when Vikir first came to Balak’s village and adjusted to it.
“Good. It’s been hard since I’ve been taking out the trash.”
Bikir smiled lightly for the first time in a while.
In the meantime, it was a car that moths ached from hunting only weak ones.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.
… Flash!
Bikir also raised her aura.
Eventually, Baskerville’s seventh ceremony will materialize that heinous trajectory in the present world.
First tooth anterior.
Second tooth central incisor.
third tooth lateral incisor.
4th tooth molar.
Fifth tooth wisdom tooth.
Sixth tooth premolar.
Seventh tooth molar.
Four of the upper jaw and three of the lower jaw. A total of seven teeth fell towards the black-sacked monster, Ephebo.
… Crunchy!
The first teeth bite Ephebo’s body.
The second tooth opened and pulled open the wound the first slash had pierced and severed it.
The third tooth helps the second slash to be strong and connects it to the fourth.
The fourth tooth crushed Ephebo’s whole body, making it so tattered that it was impossible to regenerate or recover.
The fifth tooth gathered all the recoil damage from the four slashes above into one place and struck Ephebo’s body again.
The sixth tooth assisted in the seventh slash, completely blocking even the slightest gap through which Ephebo could escape.
The seventh tooth was still small and weak, so it looked like a gap, but there was no problem at all because of the sixth slash that assisted it.
Rather, if the track where the seventh tooth is located seems empty, if you try to escape through this gap, you will be swarmed by the sixth tooth cleverly hidden behind it and become a mop in an instant.
Ephesus was one such case.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah Deuk!
Ephebo, who broke through by finding a gap in the trail of the blade and the row of teeth created by Vikir, immediately realized that it was a trap.
The seventh tooth, relatively small and seemingly less threatening, is in fact more optimized for killing than any other tooth.
“It’s not 7 meals for nothing, this is it.”
Bikir said, pressing down on the ephebo, which had become rags in an instant.
Even though it is small, it is the seventh tooth.
There was no one who could learn this except Vikir and Hugo Les Baskervilles, the patriarch of the Baskervilles.
In the future, if this seventh tooth of Vikir grows and reaches its original size, that will be the moment when Vikir becomes a sword master.
‘And if I get to that level, Hugo won’t be afraid either.’

After learning that the death of her previous life had more to do with Set than Hugo, her feelings for Hugo had faded considerably.
But despite this, Vikir still had bad feelings for Hugo.
After all, it was he who killed himself at the last moment before returning, and he was the one who threw away countless brothers like expendable items.
“Now then, shall we begin the interrogation?”
Bikir kicked the tattered ephebo and impaled it on the steel frame protruding from the wall of one side of the stone pillar.
Kku-gu-gu-gook… …
Bikir’s small, slender hands bent the thick steel frame like candy to form a hook.
Ephebo struggled, but couldn’t escape because his body was pierced by a steel frame bent like a fishing hook.
Overwhelming power that instantly overwhelms and nails advanced graduates.
If this scene had been seen by the academy students who had recently played Naphtali with Bikir, they would have fainted several times.
Bikir asked in a cool tone.
“Now, who is your master? Who made you like this?”
[Grrrrrr… … ]
Ephebo growled low instead of answering. He seems determined not to reveal anything.
(Even though I doubted whether I could speak the language in the first place)
But Bikir didn’t care.
“Because interrogation doesn’t have to be done only with words.”
You can learn a lot of information just by inferring the body of the interrogation subject, the condition of the internal organs, the arrangement of bones, the wounds, the freshness of the blood or the concentration of mana flowing in the veins, and the social status during life.
From now on, Bikir planned to dismantle Ephebo’s entire body and scrape it off.
at that time.
“Hi-Hi… … hee hee hee… … .”
There is a sound like wind blowing from behind.
When I turned my head, I saw the fat man from before, the nursery school director’s dog seller, salivating from the corner of his mouth and smiling.
“He… … He will come… … Hi-Hi… … face… … To get my face back… … You can’t make a mistake.”
At a glance, I could tell that he was out of his mind.
Hey, it’s worth going crazy because ordinary people witnessed the scene of the top grader and the top grade monsters fighting while exploding mana from a very close distance.
The wave of mana, the shock wave, and the falling debris would have given ordinary people enough fear like a disaster situation.
Before long, the dock seller began to stagger to somewhere.
“I have to hide… … hide… … .”
He scavenged through the rubble until his fingers were covered in blood.
Then, he pulled out a fairly large safe.
“Hmm.”
Bikir watched the scene with interest.
Information that was not revealed during the torture earlier, perhaps what the dog seller himself was unaware of, was being revealed in his subconscious.
Rather, it was a good thing that the dog seller went crazy.
at that time.
Beep- Beep-
The dock seller, who was turning the dial on the safe, suddenly stopped.
And then
“Ooh, ooh! Whoops!”
A strange thing happened.
Doxeller’s whole body suddenly began to swell.
As soon as Vikir felt the raging torrent of mana, he immediately threw himself back.
yet.
Kwak!
The dog seller’s body suddenly exploded with a loud explosion.
It seems that the devil has set a ban so that it will self-destruct if it performs certain actions.
“… … this.”
Vikir escaped the radius of the blast, but took quite a bit of damage.
Minor wounds were regenerated with the power of the bog salamander, but the clothes were not.
The cloak, shirt, and mask were half burnt.
Bikir removed the plague doctor’s mask from his face and threw it on the floor.
“… … .”
Looking back, the ephebo nailed to the stone pillar was gone.
Seeing that the rugged surface of the steel frame was littered with pieces of flesh and internal organs, it seemed that they had forced themselves out.
It was a difficult escape method for a living human.
“Still, there was some harvest.”
Vikir looked inside the safe that was half destroyed by the poison seller’s self-destruction.
As a result of minimizing the aftermath of the poison seller’s slash right before self-destruction, many of the contents of the safe were preserved.
A significant amount of gold bars, real estate documents, and various jewels were kept inside the safe.
It was probably the back money he took after selling the children who had nowhere to go as food for the devil.
But Bikir didn’t even care about riches.
What Bikir really paid attention to was the various stacks of papers stacked beyond it.
ledger (帳簿).
There were quite detailed details about where the money was deposited and where the children were brought and where they were sent.
“This will require analysis.”
Bikir kept the papers in his arms.
I was thinking of sending it by mail to Xindi Wendy right away to investigate.
‘Ah! Please stop working!’
The sound of her song was already in my ears.
* * *
After Bikir leaves.
In the middle of the night, the guards were dispatched to the commotion that occurred out of nowhere.
They hung out their tongues as they looked at the orphanage that had become a mess.
“Looks like some giant monsters came and stirred it up.”
“Wasn’t this nursery school under the Quo Vadis family?”
“What kind of madman has greatly touched the realm of religious chants?”
The guards searched the ruins thoroughly.
But they found nothing special.
However, only a large amount of riches of unknown origin were found in the abandoned safes.
Why this much money is here and where it came from was a mystery at the time.
Why is there such black money in the collateral branch of Quo Vadis, who is still living a frugal life of faith?
The investigation was inevitably lengthy, and the guards were able to find shocking things in the basement of the nursery school.
It was the body of a child between the ages of 10 and 13.
Dozens of corpses, only bones and skins, were buried in the ground below where the orphanage used to be.
All of the guards were shocked.
and. There were others who were more surprised than the guards.
“… … !”
Saint Dolores.
A direct descendant of the Quo Vadis family, the student council president and head of the newspaper club at Academy Colosseo.
When she heard that a group related to her family had been attacked, she rushed to her.
Also, students from the academy’s newspaper department joined Dolores to cover the incident.
Originally, the Academy’s newspaper department had rules.
Year 1 = Covering only events inside the academy.
2nd and 3rd year = You can also cover things outside the academy.
Since first-year students are still immature, going outside the academy is dangerous and they need time to adapt to the inside of the school, so we limit our coverage to the academy.
However, starting from the 2nd or 3rd year, I was able to go outside the academy to report.
Just like how Dolores visited this place with other student reporters.
“… … oh my god.”
Dolores was speechless at the horror unfolding before her eyes.
A nursery school turned into ruins, and even the remains of children were found in large numbers.
Who the hell has committed such an outrageous evil?
The guards faithfully responded to the interviews of the student reporters.
“When we arrived, it had already happened… … .”
“Judging from the blood and flesh that splattered here and there, the attacker seems to be a strong and evil being… … .”
“Perhaps one person has been attacked… … .”
“A terrifying villain has haunted the city. Similar incidents are happening all over the place… … .”
Students at the academy took serious notes of the guards’ statements.
It was an outline of tomorrow’s newspaper articles to be distributed to the academy the next morning.
at that time.
“… … ?”
Saint Dolores, who was looking around with a confused mind, discovered something.
Out of sight of all, she went under the pile of decaying debris and picked up what had fallen to the floor.
“… … This.”
What Dolores picked up was a half-burnt mask.
It was a plague doctor mask with a stork beak attached.
