Chapter 495,
Chapter 138. Midnight Tower Keeper (1)
Chi Ik.
I heard Hedo lighting a cigarette.
Swords and magic collided violently, and the tumultuous hall became quiet in an instant.
Just like it should be since this muscular man appeared.
overwhelming sense of intimidation.
There was no clearer, simpler word to describe the man Hedorah.
Just by standing there blocking the entrance, the hall seemed to have become a closed room with no exit, and the air became heavy like mud, making the lungs stuffy.
What is that monster…? whose head is it again?
All the runcandels were just exchanging glances like that.
Even though the specter members knew who he was, they were sharing glances.
However, unlike Runkandel, the eyes of the wraiths harbored such feelings.
Embarrassment Mourning Shock.
and fear.
The reason for that feeling was no different.
It was because the man’s head that Hedo dropped belonged to a member of the Wraith Corps like them.
‘Hedo killed Loeb!’
‘Damn it, I came back to the Mage Tower in case something like this happened…!’
Of course, the emotions of the Wraiths did not reach the Runcandels who had been fighting like crazy until just now.
Not only did the hood cover their faces, but the Observers were not a loose enough group to expose their emotions to the enemy, no matter how frightening the situation. Because it is the elite of the elite.
However, those who were selected from birth and put on the gray robes of ghosts through terrible effort and education knew better because they were that strong.
The fact that sometimes there are untouchable monsters in the world and the fact that there is another mountain and sky above the mountain.
Like the superhumans out of the few superhumans they encountered while living as ghosts, just like that guy!
Chijijijik!
The long cigar burned quickly like a fuse. The thickly burnt ash did not fly away, but fell in chunks. A single sip of smoke turned the entire cigar to ashes.
Whoa-!
Hedo then exhaled the smoke accumulated in his lungs, and the acrid smoke that should be called poisonous smoke covered his bulky upper body.
“ha?”
It was Murakan who broke the silence.
He continued to talk behind his back, making an expression that was as stern as possible, but not as if he had lost his composure and acted impatiently strong.
“What are you? without knocking. Take a look at that big body Where did you come from the physical beauty contest? If you don’t want to be hit behind, pretend you didn’t see it and go on your way.”
At the same time, he secretly poked Jin’s side from behind and whispered like this.
‘The kid has to jump out.’
Jin also felt it intuitively.
The four specters were also strong enemies, but it was a line that could be dealt with with Runkandel’s power.
However, that unidentified soldier was not at a level that they could do anything about.
Even though Murakan, who had regained 50% of his power, was with him and the Dark Knight, Diphus Joshua.
It was obviously not creativity. Runkandel and Murakan, who had experienced the dignity of a creation knight more closely than anyone else, could be sure.
Even if it’s not a spear, it’s definitely somewhere nearby…
A giant standing tall in such a lofty, uninhabited realm.
‘I’ve never heard of such a great unmanned person in Zipple. Could it be Kingelo?’
Not only Jin, but Joshua and Deepus Black Knight did not know Hedo’s identity. There was no description of Hedo in the list of secret military powers of Ziffle, which the Black Knights and top riders could read.
Kwajik!
Hedo trampled on the head of the dead wraith and opened his mouth. The specters don’t dare to open their mouths even when they see it.
“Knock. As the second-class butler of the Ziffle family, that’s something I’ve never even considered, Black Dragon. Isn’t this the realm of Runkandel?”
You said this was the black dragon Murakan?
The specter members realized that they were mistaken the moment Hedo said that.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have that in mind at all, but since he was covering it with a mask, he thought it was more likely that he was the black knight.
“Eh? Didn’t the mask tear? How did you recognize me?”
“Everyone in the world knows that the Black Dragon prefers a somewhat vulgar tone. The person holding the greatsword is the 4th horseman. The black sword painted to look like an ordinary piece of metal is the 2nd horseman. That friend looks like Jane the Black Knight. And finally, the 12th rider, Gene Runcandel.”
It was a matter of his identity being exposed. Even if he had only fought with the Observers, it was only a matter of time, so there was nothing to be surprised about. The coverall was originally worn to minimize unnecessary exposure.
However, when he was introduced as the second-class butler, all the Runkandels couldn’t help but feel absurd.
That such a person is only a second-class butler is a story that goes far beyond common sense.
In addition, Ziple’s ‘List of Butlers’ had already been open to the public for a long time, without the need to read the secret intelligence documents of Runkandel.
Not only Zipple, butler information of the Runkandel Imperial Family and other big families and powers is usually not confidential.
The butlers not only took care of family matters, but were also in charge of external affairs.
Negotiation, reception of VIPs, banquets, various events, etc. The media tends to write articles about such things, and each time, the names of the butlers who handled the related work often become descriptions.
‘The second-class butler known to the outside world is Melvin Grouch. The grouchy is known as the best brain. But that monster is the second-class butler?’
If Hedo’s words are not false, he is only there ‘because he wants’ for some reason. Everyone in the group thought so.
“The second-class butler? Hey body. Are you just the second-class butler?”
“Well… I do have a few other positions as well. One of them must be the keeper of this tower.”
“Tower keeper?”
“That’s right. I’d like to re-introduce myself formally. My name is Hedo, the Tower Keeper of the White Nights.”
Hedo draws an arc on the inside of his body with his right arm and bows as he bows.
Tower Keeper of the White Nights.
Hedo, who revealed another position, was secretly looking at Jin.
‘Jin Runcandel…’
The 12th Horseman of Runcandel whom his lady Sandra Ziple ‘decided to fall in love with’.
He was generally indifferent to the outside world, but he did occasionally get the slightest bit of curiosity before Sandra started making love and marriage fuss.
What kind of person is it that makes the world so uproar? It should be said that this was the first runcandel horseman who had been attracting much attention since Luna.
However, if it wasn’t for Sandra, Hedo wouldn’t have been interested in Jin even now.
“Can you take off your mask?”
“I don’t like it.”
“Even though we belong to hostile families, this one has been very polite and has revealed who I am. It doesn’t sound like a very difficult request.”
“I am grateful that Muin revealed his pseudonym and position. A swordsman’s rider would not be able to fulfill Butler Ziple’s request. Please reveal Sir’s real name and location. If so, take off your mask.”
“I can feel the bold inner side of Man Yong, the 12th Horseman. Do as you please.”
Sureureung.
Hedo slowly pulled out the longsword tied to his waist and said. It was twice as long and thick as a normal longsword, but it was sleek and not rugged enough to be called a greatsword.
For a moment, Murakan looked at the sword and hesitated.
“However, you should understand that my mercy is reduced by that much.”
Aww-!
A sharp, piercing sound like an awl piercing the eardrum filled the hall.
It was the result of Hedo taking a step forward and unleashing a sword. Even seeing it with their own eyes, they couldn’t believe how that massive body could move so quickly.
Even that swordsmanship didn’t just go in one direction.
The side he swung was in the center, but his sword was forming a huge fan that covered the entire front of Hedo.
A single blow, but hundreds of sword skills.
It was the realm of ‘Kendo’, which is often passed down like a legend among martial artists. The black air spread like a wave and attacked the air, objects and people.
The runcandels raised their energy, set up a shield, and used the best possible quicksword to receive Hedo’s blow.
It’s frightening.
Everyone who accepted the sword felt that way. And the Runkandels couldn’t help but have one question apart from the shock.
‘If I attack like this, even the observatory will be hit?’
Hedo’s sword skill was threatening not only Runcandel, but also the Observers. No, rather, the particularly strong swordsmanship seemed to be pouring toward the Watchers rather than Runcandel.
Jin and the others still can’t guess what the reason was, but one thing was certain.
The fact that Hedo has a position within Ziffle that can trample even the observatory at will.
‘Are you saying that Hedo has at least more power than Octavia Ziple? No, there are a little strange things to think like that again…’
First of all, Jin was feeling that the attitude of the wraiths was a bit strange.
‘If this situation is that Hedo is scolding the Observers for some reason as a superior, then the Observers should have asked for forgiveness first. But, as if they couldn’t help it, Hedo’s attack… kuk!’
jjwoong-!
Hedo’s longsword, which approached Jin before he knew it, landed on Jin’s forehead.
I just received the sword, but it had been a long time since I felt like my wrist would break.
Before Hedo could retrieve the sword, Murakan and Deepus threw swords and fists at him, and Joshua and Jane also dug in and attempted to attack.
And just as the Runcandels’ attack was about to reach them.
Hedo’s muscles swelled, and the next moment.
The party had to make the mistake of thinking that what their swords and fists stabbed and struck was not human flesh, but some indescribably hard mineral.
The sword and fist bounced off.
Although it was said to be urgent, the two top riders, the black knight’s sword, and Murakan’s fist, which regained 50% power.
Everyone was shocked, but Murakan in particular had his eyes wide open.
While the other Runkandels couldn’t take their eyes off his shocking body, Murakan was examining his strangely long sword.
As if you just remembered something.
“You… that sword. Where did you get it from?”
Murakan said in a low voice. He looked confused.
Hedo tilted his head once.
“You are asking a strange question, Black Dragon. And I’ve heard from those who experienced your inaction on the Gaifa Islands before, it wasn’t like this.”
The eyes of Murakan, fixed on Hedo’s longsword under the mask, were trembling.
“Oh maybe. If you are in a state where you are not able to show all your strength because you are worried about the support of your parents. Don’t worry. There will be no family reinforcements coming here.”
