The crowd burst into applause—slow, rhythmic applause, and the tattooed man at the head clapped his palms and walked up to Lyle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"That's right, it seems that you understand our efforts to find you everywhere - let me hear the reason for your provocation, Lyle Ralhoth."

It wasn't surprising that the other side knew his name, after all, it was the trio who knew the information, and there was no reason why it wouldn't reach the people above.

"It's not a provocation, but I'm trying to discuss things with you. After all, things are more urgent, and in order to avoid eating closed doors, it is better to let you come to the door with more sincerity. But before I speak, I would like to ask if you have a position on behalf of the United States? ”

Like a bomb exploding, laughter erupted from the crowd.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're so arrogant, don't you even know who the eldest brother is?"

"Listen, this is the captain of the A-class team [Evil Eater Tiger], Lord Bairshuen, can actually ask such an ignorant question, it seems that you are ready for something less in your body, right?!"

"Big brother is an adventurer who no one can match in the entire [Union], and he is already a powerhouse who has stepped into the hero realm with half a foot."

As if he hadn't heard the sneering voices, Lyle kept looking at the tattooed man in front of him with a calm gaze.

"-That's what they say, are you?"

Lyle's attitude made Barshoun find it a little interesting, and he lifted his chin.

"What do you think?"

"I'm not interested in guessing, and if you can represent [the United] opinion then we'll go on, and if not, prove that I'm not looking for a guy of your level. Go back and find someone who can talk about things. ”

"Hah, you're guts. But there is a rule in everything. When it comes to adventurers, it is blood and wine, the day and death go hand in hand, lick the blood to survive, and the night is happy with wine without getting drunk and homeless. Adventurers have the rules of adventurers, if not this is the case, this group of unruly fellows will be lawless, and the authority of [Union] in this city is a must. I don't care what Marlowe does with the protection of the Union, since they have gained our reputation, they will naturally be regarded as part of us. I'm curious about what you want to discuss when you challenge the United, and if it's something interesting, it's not impossible to forgive you by beating you half to death. ”

"No big deal. It's just a hand-raising, no, a bend of your legs. Lyle smiled as he spread his hands out and made a downward motion.

What exactly does that mean, and before Barshone asks questions, Lyle will directly announce the answer.

"I almost need a little bit of a little brother to do the odd jobs. Kneel down and surrender to me - it's not impossible to let you go. ”

- My heart is like steel, indestructible.

Whispering the words of magic softly, Barseun's bronzed skin instantly turned a silver-gray color, and the surging battle intent overflowed. Staring at Lyle with the eyes of a beast. The people around him were shocked by his fighting intent and showed frightened expressions. That's the leader of the [Evil Eater Tiger], more crazy than a madman, more bloodthirsty than a demon, and once he makes a move, there will never be any good results waiting for him.

"- Or else?"

"Uh...... I haven't figured this out yet. Lyle looked down and thought for a moment, "Forget it, then follow your advice - let's fight half dead." ”

Lyle smiled and uttered the last words, to which he was rewarded with a cold order from Barseun.

"--Hands-on."

The first to do it was the man standing behind Lyle, who picked up the stick in his hand and smashed it directly into the back of Lyle's seemingly defenseless head. Of the more than twenty people brought by Bairshorn, only some of them were true adventurers. The rest are "borrowed" thugs from acquaintances, who do not know how to kill monsters, but on the contrary, they are "experts" in destroying human bodies that ordinary adventurers cannot match.

Without turning his head to know which direction the enemy was coming from, Lyle sideways dodged the vertical slash and watched the stick pass in front of him—and then elbowed his foe in the chest. Take a step forward to dodge someone else's kick to your shin, and spin back to kick down the person behind you - the encirclement creates a small gap that will be filled in the next moment. Taking this as an opportunity, Lyle jumped back sharply, and instantly broke away from the encirclement of the crowd.

After all, it's much easier to put the enemy within range than to be alert to attacks from all directions. Lyle, who was still maintaining a landing posture, suddenly raised his left hand to protect his head. Bang, there was a hard sound of metal clashing - Lyle blocked Barshoyn's steely fist with his hand.

It was a punch that could have pierced a large hole in a steel shield. The attack was blocked, and Bailseun immediately retreated and distanced himself, and looked curiously at the wrist he had just swung out.

"Hey, I was going to knock you out with a punch. Well, it's fun to stay. How exactly did you harden your muscles to this extent? ”

"It's just magic."

"What a joke, it's not something that can be done in an instant. I chanted the magic in advance, no, I guess I used some kind of magic prop. I see, no wonder the confidence is so strong. Hey, you guys stop it. ”

Bayershoee drank his men who were about to surround him again, and shouted from a magician behind him: "Delov, I remember that it was a man and a woman who caused trouble, but what about the woman?" ”

The mage, who was questioned, sniffed the residual smell in the air with his nose, then took out a red stone and pressed it to his forehead. It was a form of divination, and it took a while for the magician to slowly answer Barseun's questions.

"Over there, in the direction of the slums...... Do you want to chase? ”

"Hmph, escape to the ditch with those stinky rats. Take all the brothers with you, and you must not let her go. ”

"Are you okay?"

"Huh? You mean I can't mess with this piece of crap in front of me? Understood, you want to provoke me and let me kill you too, right?! Don't worry, I'll catch up with you soon. Ah, by the way, I heard that the woman looks quite standard, pay attention to Lao Tzu when you play, don't play bad like last time, I don't want to take a lump of meat and give it to others at that time. ”

“…… Are you going to give her as a gift to those people? In this case, it is better to be played badly and be happy. Forget it, it's no different from hell anyway. It's part of the job, come with me. ”

Watching the departing backs of the magician and the others, Lyle remained silent and drew his gaze back to the Barseun in front of him.

"What's the matter, your lovely female companion is about to be treated pathetically, but you are still indifferent?"

"It doesn't matter, it's a matter of seconds to catch up anyway. Besides, it was impossible to rely on the kind of goods just now, and that woman contained something that was not in her body. Using the words that Bailseun had just said to answer the question on the other side, Lyle sighed helplessly. It's you, I didn't expect you to like to chat unexpectedly. ”

"Sometimes the war of words is much more interesting than you think, what is your real purpose?"

"I see, you think I have another purpose to deliberately support the others. Unfortunately, as I said, that's what I'm for. ”

"Hahahaha, it looks like you're really crazy. Please, if you want to kill yourself, run to the monster's lair, it's just the time of the monster's lactation, just so that you can die happily and feed the monster's cubs by the way. We don't have that kind of spare time to play with the clowns right now......"

"I don't have time to say because you've been busy with your own care. After all, you who claim to have integrated all the adventurer resources of Dragon Landing City, the [Union], which once didn't even pay attention to the adventurer union, is now being questioned about its usefulness, right? It's no wonder, because a vampire caused the death of most of the members, and many of the rest are considering quitting, and now the organization is facing the key to survival. ”

Facing disintegration due to the reduction of members is not the worst situation for the United, and the loss of use value is the most fearful thing for the United. For those behind the money, aristocratic merchants or underworld forces, the meaning of the existence of [Alliance] is to give them strength and protection, and they will in turn use their authority to protect [Alliance]. But now that the balance of power between the two has been disrupted, this symbiotic relationship is difficult to achieve. After all, the interests of the [Union] are so large that even those who cannot afford to get a piece of the pie will be jealous. Taking people's money is worse than killing parents, and [United] is hated by many people, and he can't tell how many people he hates. What is certain is that once the [Union] is dissolved, it will definitely be in danger of its own life.

That's why Byrseun was in such a hurry to find Lyle, and for them, the troublemakers were not so much a lack of long-term eyes, but rather a good time. You must show the world your strength and worth, and what a miserable end it would be to anger the United Nations, who are still the most powerful organization in the city even if they suffer setbacks.

The appearance of a living sacrifice to prove this was great news for Barshounn.

"Lyel Larjos, I said I think I've heard your name somewhere...... After all, it's hard to remember the names of stinky rats. By the way, what happened to those little mice that you loved each other? One of them...... I'm really sorry to hear that he died, I didn't expect him to kill himself after breaking his tendons. Hahaha, there's no way around it. After all, he dared to touch Lao Tzu's toys with his dirty hands, even if it was a casual woman and Lao Tzu was tired of playing, but Lao Tzu just didn't like him. On the spur of the moment, can you forgive me? ”

Barseun laughed as he spoke.

The taunt at him Lyle simply shrugged his shoulders in response.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, it's not a deep hatred, just like you like this little thing. That man's death was ultimately due to his own lack of strength, although I didn't blame anyone else's position. It's so far, kneel down or not, choose one for me. ”

There are so many things that are more terrible than death for adventurers. For example, what is even more terrible than being food for a monster is that only the parts of the hands and feet are left in the monster's mouth. Even if the crippled adventurers who lost their siblings and were picked up were saved, what awaited them was only a surviving future. A high-ranking adventurer with a wide network may be fine, but the average adventurer has the only option of begging to get around.

It's hard to even be alive like this.

"It's decided...... Cut off all your limbs, make it a waste that can't even kill yourself, and let Lao Tzu lie in the slum like a dead maggot for the rest of his life. Don't worry, I'll come to see you often. ”

Although Barseughn remains rational in most cases, it does not mean that he is a rational person. There is only a thin line between a madman and a genius, and he is the one who stands in the middle. That's why Barseun was feared by the others - when he got angry, all that was left was madness.

Probably not realizing that Barseun was in the midst of a brief silence before going crazy, and even if he noticed that Lyle would not stop provoking the other party.

"Ha, since you're so confident, then I'll give you a hand."

The muscles in his face tensed in anger and the gums contracted to reveal sharp teeth. He screamed wildly and drew the sword from his belt.

In the dim moonlight, there was a blood-colored glow. Draw your sword and leap forward at the same time. Closing the distance of nearly ten meters in a breath, Byrseun raised the tip of his sword and aimed it at Lyle's left arm with the precision of a butcher's dismemberment.

Downstroke, lift, turn the blade, and instantly cut off the human body along the flesh and veins - it should have been like this. Before Barseun could understand what was happening, he was hit hard in the abdomen and flew sideways.

Even though something unexpected happened, Barseun reacted without hesitation. Landing on the ground in a position similar to that of a beast, he barely stood firm and immediately swung his sword and slashed at the empty front.

- Bang, bang.

A heavy feeling came, and his sword slashed something that could not be seen, and Bailseun, who was so convinced, immediately searched for Lyle's figure. A chill enveloped his body, instinctively warning him that he must not let the man disappear from his sight.

However, even if Byrseun sensed that the person in front of him was a strong enemy, it was too late. Lyle's magic has long been in effect.

- [Heaven and Earth Reversal].

A magic that makes people's five senses go crazy, and heaven and earth are inverted.

He slammed straight into the black wall, his mouth and nose stuffed with dirt. It took several seconds for his brain to stop working before he realized that he had been pressed to the ground.

A voice came from overhead. Lyle stomped on the head of the immobile Barseauin.

"Oh, just give some bait and rush over like a beast, your ridiculous title matches the intelligence of a beast."

"Don't give me! When the hell and what did you do to me?! ”

"Is the status quo so incomprehensible to you? It's also true, after all, most guys with a personality like you have this common problem. You're too weak, but it's just a little trick like shooting compressed air, and I didn't expect it to fall so easily. ”

- Then according to the agreement, let me make you half dead.

Lyle grabbed Barseun by the hair and lifted his head up, and Barseun began cursing indiscriminately.

"Kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you, cut off your skin, let go of your blood, eat your flesh, and crush your bones! Hang your miserable corpse at the gate of the city and stuff your brother in your mouth!! ”

Lyle pressed Barseaune's clasp with one hand and tapped him on the back of his finger on the face.

In the dark of the night, the sound of metal striking sounded.

"You seem to be very proud of this magic that hardens your body - simple and crude magic indeed, like armor of steel. However, as long as you know the principle, you need to deal with it in as many ways as you want, for example. Lyle poked his finger in Barshan's face.

"Stop! You monster! What the hell do you want to do! Uhh ”

Blood slowly flowed down his fingers, and the pain pierced his heart. But the pain somewhat calmed Bairseun, and he managed to endure it with his tenacity and not let out a scream. Lyle's slower voice continued.

"Look, if you interfere with other magical powers, it will be ineffective immediately, and then it's time for punishment."

The blood on Barshoun's face glowed an ominous red. The severe pain that I had never experienced before traveled all over my body, and it was a real pain that I had never experienced before, even if I was stabbed through my internal organs and my hands and feet were broken. Barseun opened his mouth, but all he could do was let out a cry that was almost hoarse.

"I remember that the president of the union seems to have entrusted me to help ensure the combat strength, but it is not good to control the strength well. After all, it's not easy for you to be paralyzed in bed when that vampire comes to the door, even if it's waste, it has a corresponding use, at least you have to die well. ”

More intense pain spread throughout the body.

As if his body was not his own, he was not even allowed to resist or think, and the cold darkness swallowed up Byrseun in this way.
