Chapter 504,
Chapter 139. Intimidation (3)
The party 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.
“…I don’t think it’s Zipple. Seeing that you don’t fire a flare right away.”
Joshua said in a low voice. As he said, if it was Jiple, In-Young would have fired the signal flare as soon as he confirmed the appearance of the Runcandels.
The distance between the party and In-young gradually got closer.
“Oh, but you’re the second jockey, so you’re really good at grasping the situation, right? But that person’s back… Is that 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, my 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 Sanchae not too long ago.
‘no way…!’
‘That damn 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. A slender physique that seemed strange to be carrying an axe and sword.
It was the demon dragon Zephyrin.
“Wow, Lord Jin and Black Dragon Murakan. 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 Ziple? 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, who was worried about the clear indication that they were not together, began to burn hostility.
“I almost made a mistake. Pretending to be friendly just to confuse you. Like a beggar.”
“Oh, 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 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 the mountain to think that he would face Zephyrin once he got out of Hedo.
‘If it had been another time, I really wouldn’t have had an answer.’
But not now. In Jin’s arms, the purpose of Zephyrin’s visit was well contained.
Joshua and Deepus 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 they fought with her, Ziffle’s tracking party would inevitably join the battle, and Kingelo’s troops, including Grenil, could also follow.
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. Please give me the stolen items from Jin’s 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 again. The hero 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-blood Runcandel and became a horseman, I have never experienced such disgrace, or continuous disgrace, like today.
While the brothers trembled, Jin’s inner smile deepened.
‘I almost won.’
Although he did not know about pure force, the situation and conditions were all working in his favor.
‘Zephyrin seemed to never want to kill me even in the Black King’s Mountain. It’s probably because if you kill me, you’ll have problems 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, so Kingelo’s loss was insignificant.
“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 because I was careless the other day, 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 strength for some reason.
In Black King Sanchae, Zephyrin eventually left the battlefield without any income. It was because of unexpected damage from 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? Oh, 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?”
“You said it was too late. And even if I keep you alive, there’s no problem even if I kill the youngest sister and siblings who are carrying me on my back. Aren’t you sad?”
“Then stop talking about your mouth hurting and try it.”
“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 a state of concern about what it would be like to just kill them all if it was an order.
“Your eyes look like they’ll run at you at any moment, 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 to me.”
“I don’t think you understand yet, huh? uh huh don’t move If you keep threatening us, what will happen to us and these things you guys have worked so hard for… I don’t know.”
Hwareuk!
In Jin’s left hand holding the blueprint, a red flame suddenly came up. It was a fire formed by magic.
Zephyrin remained as hard as a stone statue with her eyes wide open, and Runcandel also showed a similar reaction.
How the hell did you get that stuff!
“stop!”
“You are the one who should 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.”
Roaring loudly…!
It was a flame containing at least 3-star magical power, 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.
“You Jean Runcandel…!”
“You have to do this to make threats, don’t you? Don’t you think I’ve been overly arrogant about the subject that came to me with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw?”
“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 the whole situation was unfavorable from the time they came to 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 the slight 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 too, Jin was not taken aback and was generously using the means he 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 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 you 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. You escort Runcandel from Ziffle until you leave the Magic Federation as Lutero. If you agree, I’ll turn off the lights.”
Zephyrin was already nodding his head before Jin finished speaking.
