Bibell[Dawn Department Store (7)]
A mountain where no one sets foot even in Gyeonggi Province.
In the middle of the mountain, there was a hut that looked like it hadn’t been maintained for a long time.
Inside, two men were facing each other.
«…I did everything as instructed. What more do you want?»
Kim Kyung-won, the sub-lord of the Changhae Clan, spoke while raising his internal mana. He held a weapon in his hand, ready to respond at any moment.
Kim Kyung-won trembled.
In the Changhae Clan, all responsibility for the Bukhansan incident had been shifted onto him.
Despite being the one directly dispatched to Uijeongbu, the clan lord insisted that he should bear everything and leave.
He had no choice but to follow the clan lord’s orders.
He had a mentally ill mother and a family to support, as well as borrowed money from the clan.
Clan Lord Gil Sung-jun had said that if he stepped down as Sublord and left the Clan, he would take responsibility for him and his family’s lives.
He should just keep quiet and breathe, and when the publicity dies down, I’ll arrange something else for him.
But, but, but…!
«What more do you want me to do?»
Kim Kyung-won shouted at the man who had brought him here.
There was no way he didn’t know the rumors about .
Clan Lord had asked to kill him.
«…I will die here…!»
No one dies when asked to die.
I didn’t want to die like this.
Kim Kyung-won drew the weapon he had hidden behind his back and lunged at the man.
The man only stood still.
As if to say, if you can do it, do it.
«Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!»
He hadn’t become a Sublord of Changhae Clan for nothing.
He was fully confident in his abilities. He thought he had a chance against .
But he was wrong.
With just the release of internal mana, Kim Kyung-won didn’t even notice the man standing still.
«-What?»
He was definitely stabbed.
When he turned around, the man was looking down at him.
He was looking down?
It wasn’t until he fell to the ground that he realized he had been stabbed.
«─A message.»
Noname pulled out the knife embedded in Kim Kyung-won’s abdomen and spoke in a low voice.
«I’ll take care of the family. Don’t worry about your wife in particular.»
«What….»
Coughing up blood, Kim reached for his hand.
His hands flailed in the air.
After wiping the blood off the knife, Noname was looking down from a different position.
«Thank you for your service. Goodbye.»
«What…what…»
Kim Kyung-won was speechless.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself hanging from the ceiling.
Gasping for breath, with tears streaming down his face, he breathed his last.
That was the undisclosed ending of the Bukhansan incident.
☆
Cheerful music plays.
Noname walked leisurely through the chaos.
The people passing by didn’t notice his presence.
An easy job.
Terrorizing a department store on commission was nothing to him.
Gift «Disorder.»
A gift that diminished the perception of something, the larger the crowd, the more effective it was.
The fact that no one was looking at him was proof of that.
The henchmen waiting on each floor seemed to have been waiting for the right moment.
They were like fish out of water, but they were also fulfilling a request: to eliminate Silla Clan players who were in their way.
…It would be troublesome if they enjoyed it too much.
At the 1st branch of the Dawn Department Store, promising players from the Silla Clan were on guard duty.
That’s why Nomame, along with the elite members under his command and the lowlifes who had retired as janitors in Uijeongbu, were carrying out the mission to terrorize.
The problem was the lowlifes. Unlike the elites who considered the mission a top priority, the ones who came from Uijeongbu were running wild as if the reins had been loosened.
«…Are you the only ones here?»
Most of them were nowhere to be seen. A few of the elite were also nowhere to be seen, but they would escape on their own without waiting.
The problem was the lowlifes.
Noname regretted bringing them along. With more time to prepare, he would have led only the elite to terrorize.
«They say the Silla Clan has entered the fray.»
«…Hmm.»
The player who had been watching carefully spoke cautiously.
This was faster than he expected.
He had originally planned to leave the department store before the Silla Clan arrived.
Luckily, there was a sixth-ranked monster on the first floor.
The slimy monsters were not easy to defeat as they needed to be nuked to be destroyed.
They might be able to buy some time, but they still needed to retreat quickly.
«By the way, who is the kid you brought with you?»
«…What do you mean?»
Noname frowned.
He couldn’t understand who the player was referring to.
«Oh, come on. Are you saying you came here alone?»
The player questioned with a hint of strangeness. Then he pointed with his finger at the back of Noname
«What…?»
He uttered.
Noname turned his head in the direction the player had pointed.
A small child was glaring at him.
«Now you’re noticing.»
The kid’s mouth quirked upward.
«You’re…what the hell….»
Who?
He was about to say something.
A gust of wind from behind the boy.
Noname instinctively recognized it for what it was.
The wind of death.
The air currents filled the space with life.
He must not let his guard down.
The boy in front of him was a monster.
A moment’s laxity could turn everything upside down.
«…You can’t come in here.»
While Noname was on guard, the player who still hadn’t felt any signs of death walked forward.
With the sword he held behind his back, he intended to kill the boy before he could even scream.
«─Eh?»
The player’s head dropped to the floor.
The player’s body leaned forward and collapsed.
«…Oh, I shouldn’t have killed him.»
The boy stuck his tongue out as if he’d gotten a question wrong in class.
«This asshole….»
«Don’t let your guard down.»
«You’re not dealing with a kid.»
Only in hindsight did the elite realize that the boy should not be seen as a child.
Flesh-and-blood men had no intention of sparing the life of a comrade who had died before their eyes.
That was true of the boy as well.
«You’re not worthy of my life.»
The boy was not the least bit frightened.
In fact, he even taunted them with a dragging tongue.
«You’re dead-!»
The player who was about to run away collapsed before he could finish his sentence.
Before they could get away, the child lunged at the men.
They were helpless.
They were wary of him as a player, but didn’t realize it until he was right up close.
«These lowlifes….»
The boy looked down at the trembling players on the ground with a contemptuous tone.
«Hey, why aren’t you coming?»
Unbelievable.
Yet, they were killed in an instant.
Noname couldn’t believe what was happening in front of him.
«If you don’t come, I’ll go?»
Snap!
Faced with the child’s flesh, was silent.
It shouldn’t be faced head-on.
Stepping back, he manifested a Gift.
«Disorder.»
When he manifested his Gift, there was no one he couldn’t deal with.
He might not be able to take on the Twelve, but he could certainly take on the one called «The Seed».
It was a pride that came from never failing a request.
And that pride was crushed to nothing.
«-Why.»
Do you even recognize me!
Noname was puzzled by the boy rushing towards him.
His Gift is the ability to hinder the perception of something.
The child would surely not recognize himself with it wrapped around him.
But the boy was aware of him.
This is ridiculous.
Noname was stunned. He had never met anyone who recognized him so clearly before.
What in the world does this kid recognize me for?
The possibility that came to his mind was that the boy did not perceive who he himself was.
A cold sweat ran down my back.
He knew what that meant.
The world reflected in the boy’s eyes was a world where distinctions between friend and foe were nonexistent.
It’s a world where there is no distinction between life and death.
No matter if it was human or monster.
If he sees it, he kills it.
It was just that.
What kind of a kid….
What kind of life did he lead to be like this at his age?
«─Cough!?»
«…You’re weaker than I thought. Were you always this weak?»
The boy kicked him in the abdomen as if he was looking at his liver.
Knocked back, gritted his teeth and glared at the boy.
«You’re no big deal, Noname. Now I realize that the reason people don’t know your name is because you’re an asshole.»
The boy grumbled in an unamused tone.
Noname, who had remained calm, became agitated.
He was furious, but he couldn’t do anything.
He had already realized the difference in skill between himself and the boy.
«Fight as hard as you can. It’s a shame to just die.»
No Eunha.
He spoke from a position of overwhelming strength.
«That’s what makes it worthwhile for me to follow you here. I dropped everything to come here for you.»
Eunha held up a hand.
It was a gesture for him to come in.
…Snap!
It didn’t matter. If he wanted to survive, he had to take him down.
Even if it was an impossible task.
To survive, he had to struggle.
Like all those who had died before him.
Noname gritted his teeth and lunged at him.
Eunha watched him approach, still.
Seeing how far he would squirm.
«Don’t think of dying easily. I’ll show you that being alive is more painful than dying.»
He opened his mouth to speak, staring at the insect.
