Chapter 504
Episode 139. Blackmail (3)
The group quietly drew their swords. Because of the foggy sandstorm, I couldn’t immediately recognize who the opponent was.
The figure approaching from afar showed no sign of shrinking at all. That fact made the party a little nervous.
“… … It doesn’t look like a zip. Seeing that you don’t fire a flare right away.”
Joshua said in a low voice. If it was a zip line as she said, she would have fired the signal flare as soon as Inyoung confirmed the appearance of the rune candels.
The distance between the party and In-young gradually got closer.
“Oh, but even though you’re a second rider, you really have great situational awareness, don’t you? But that person, etc… … is it a sword Isn’t it a bit big to call it a sword? The shape is also odd. I think I’ve heard that there are people who use such weapons in the world. Who was it about?”
A sword with an unreasonably large and crude shape.
“ah! big sister! That’s right, our eldest sister, Baek Kyung, uses a weapon like that, right?”
A weapon that could be called an ax rather than a sword. The person who wielded that weapon was the only Luna Runcandel in the world.
At least it was until recently.
Jin and Murakan had experienced a person wielding an ax sword, Luna’s symbol, like a toy in the Black King’s Sanchae not too long ago.
‘no way… … !’
‘Damn it, that crazy dragon?’
The two recalled the memories of that day at the same time, and the rest of Runkandel couldn’t guess the identity of the human figure at all. It can’t be Luna.
Eventually, the party was able to face In-young’s face.
A white and beautiful face that seemed to shine even in the sandstorm, and a slender physique that seemed strange to be carrying an ax sword.
It was the demon dragon, Zephyrin.
“Wow, Lord Jin and Murakan the Black Dragon. such a coincidence? I didn’t expect to see you here!”
Sandra was the first to react to Zephyrin’s appearance.
“Oh, what are you? Are you close with Jin?”
“hmm? Oh, Sandra Zipple? If you are close, why are you asking?”
“If we are very close, I will treat her as an older sister or as a younger sister.”
Murakan stabbed Sandra in the shoulder. Sandra, anxious about the clear indication that they were not together, began to inflame her animosity.
“I almost made a mistake. Pretending to be friendly to confuse you, like a beggar.”
“Oh my, you have a bad mouth. Can you go to the goal by fooling around believing half-immortally? Living Golem Lady.”
“under? Do you want me to die first or you to search first?”
“You are cute. Did you have some problems with your head after becoming a living golem?”
Seeing Zephyrin smiling and talking, Jin and Murakan recalled the difficult fight that day.
-Chief Kingelo. I think it might be his dragon.
-That naughty bastard? it could be. It was because the authority he showed during the terror attack in the Black Emperor was divine.
-… … Murakan-sama and the 12 Horseman. I don’t think there will be an answer if the fight is long.
-If it gets longer, there is no answer? Not quite like that. That never wins.
It was a mountain beyond a mountain, to think that he would face Zephyrin once he got out of Hedo.
‘If it had been another time, there really would have been no answer.’
But not now. In Jin’s arms, the purpose of Zephyrin’s visit was well contained.
Joshua, Difus, and Jane still couldn’t guess Zephyrin’s identity, but they recognized that she was unusual.
It was because Murakan was spitting out rude words and not showing signs of fighting.
In fact, Murakan’s mouth was itching to the point of going crazy, but Jin could die if he fought Zephyrin now, so he endured it.
It wasn’t just a matter of dealing with Zephyrin. If she battles her with her, Ziffle’s tracking party will inevitably join the battle, and she was able to pursue Kingelo’s men, including Grenil as well.
Although Sandra was constantly cursing and cursing in place of Murakan. Where on earth did you learn them? These were terrible words that even the worst slobs in the back alleys would be reluctant to say.
And Jin was sweeping his chest inwardly.
‘Fortunately, it’s as expected.’
Just like the other Runkandels read Murakan’s attitude and read the atmosphere.
Jin was aware of the situation through Zephyrin’s actions.
‘It is certain that the ship blueprints and machines in the vault of the 2 Mage Tower are really important to Kingelo.’
It was already proven in the resources and manpower that Kingelo had put in, but seeing Zephyrin’s actions made it even more certain.
The Zephyrin Jin remembers was not a person who put words first when a problem arose. It was Zephyrin’s method of stabbing the opponent first without any warning or warning.
But now he is narrowing his forehead and saying this.
“Well, I guess I don’t need to say much. I won’t listen to that living golem’s squeaks anymore. Sir Jin, please give me the items you stole from the safe.”
“What if you refuse?”
“You will be killed. in my hand. Are you curious about such an obvious thing?”
The word annihilation made the other Runcandels feel humiliated once more. He, who fought just a moment ago, and the woman in front of him. Everyone is looking down on Runkandel.
But there was no other way.
That’s what ‘weak’ means. Since I was born as a pure-blooded runcandel and became a horseman, I have never experienced such disgrace as today, and I can assure you that I have never experienced such continuous disgrace.
While the brothers trembled, Jin’s inner smile deepened.
‘I almost won.’
I don’t know about pure force, but the circumstances, conditions, and everything were working in my favor.
‘Zephyrin seemed to never want to kill me even in the Black King’s Mountain. He must be because if he kills me, he’ll have trouble getting Solderlet’s contract.’
If so, it was the same now.
If Kingelo hadn’t made any special progress in the meantime, Zephyrin still couldn’t kill Jin.
And this was the Lutero Magic Federation, and it was also near Draka. When a fight starts, and Kingelo and Ziffle come together and fight over Jin.
It was very likely that it would be Ziffle, not Kingelo, who would take Jin in any way. In that case, let alone the goods, even the gin would be lost.
“Annihilate? You speak too easily, Zephyrin.”
“Do you think you can’t?”
“okay.”
“It seems like you’re acting confidently like this, believing that I took a shot the other day because I was careless, but I’m not in a very good mood today.”

Murakan evaluated that he could never defeat Zephyrin at the time, and it seemed that she, like Murakan, could not use all her power for some reason.
In Black King Sanchae, Zephyrin eventually left the battlefield without any income. It was because he was unexpectedly damaged by Tess’ power.
‘The blow suffered at that time would not have been fully recovered yet.’
Of course, I couldn’t jump to conclusions, but my intuition was telling me.
Even if you go hard, there will be no problem.
“So what do you mean? Are you asking me to please you while crawling?”
“Are you going to stay uncooperative until the end? Ah, it must be because you also believe that I will not kill you in the near future.”
“Why do you make useless threats when you know it well?”
“Anyway, you said. And even if I keep you alive, there’s no problem even if I kill the youngest sister, brothers, and the black knight on my back. Aren’t you sad?”
“Then stop making noise and try again.”
“Okay, do what Jin says! Don’t bark even though you can’t even bite!”
As Jin and Sandra spoke at the same time, Zephyrin’s mouth twitched. Efforts not to lose composure and a smile even in the midst of boiling anger appeared as convulsions.
There was a moment of brutal silence.
The party was aware of the fact that Zephyrin was displaying extreme patience. In fact, she was in such a state of thought that it was an order and why not just kill them all.
“Your eyes look like they’re ready to attack you, Zephyrin.”
Jin handed over Yona to Murakan and carefully took out the blueprints and machine from his bosom. Then, he held one in each hand and gently waved it toward Zephyrin.
“Looking at it so terribly, I was scared and had no choice but to take it out.”
“… … Give it up.”
“I don’t think you understand yet, huh? uh huh don’t move If you continue to threaten us, what will happen to these things you and I have worked so hard for… … I don’t know either.”
Hwareuk!
In Jin’s left hand holding the blueprint, a red flame suddenly came up. It was a fire formed by magic.
Zephyrin stiffened like a stone statue and opened her eyes round, and Runcandel also showed a similar reaction.
How the hell did you get that stuff!
“stop!”
“Stop making clumsy threats, Zephyrin. Are you in a bad mood today? Neither do I. So I guess I could really throw them all away. After the blueprints are burned, I will destroy the machine without a second delay.”
Glow, whirlwind… … !
It was a flame containing at most 3-star level magic, but in the eyes of everyone who saw it, it looked like a disaster. Of course, Sandra was in the middle of admiring herself again this time.
“Jin, Runcandel, you bastard… … !”
“You have to do this to make threats, don’t you? Don’t you think you’ve been overly arrogant about the topic you came to with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw, Zephyrin?”
“If those things go wrong, you all die.”
“You know? I’m just playing some kind of gamble. Let’s see whose hand is stronger.”
The blueprints were, of course, treated with protective magic.
However, at most, it was magic to protect a piece of paper, and since sensitive runes were marked everywhere, it would be irreversibly damaged within seconds.
The feeling of grabbing at least a straw.
What Jin said was not wrong. Kingelo and Zephyrin were also clearly aware that all situations were unfavorable from the time they came to visit them in the first place.
But I didn’t know that Jin would come out so strong.
Precisely, Vishkel and Margiela expected it, but they sent Zephyrin with such a faint expectation that they would be caught off guard once, as they would have been pushed to the limit by Ziffle and Hedo throughout the progress.
It wasn’t. This time, Jin was not taken aback, and she was generously using the means she had.
“… … turn off!”
“I just can’t turn it off.”
“I won’t attack you, so turn it off, now!”
Yeah, I think you can turn it off now, maknae. hurry. ride, ride!
The brothers also thought the same as Zephyrin. Jin didn’t explain, but they understood the flow almost perfectly now.
But Jin shook his head once more.
At least Joshua almost screamed at that point to turn off the lights.
“Even that is not enough. There is one more condition.”
“Damn, damn, damn, devilish bastard! What else is missing, huh!?”
Jin smiled and said:
“You and Kingelo lost the gamble, so you have to pay the price.”
“Tell me quickly!”
“Zephyrin. Until you leave the Magic Federation as Luter, escort Runcandel from Ziple. If you agree, I’ll turn off the lights.”
Zephyrin was already nodding his head before Jin finished speaking.
