◈ Episode 184 Jack the Ripper (1)
It was more than 7 years ago that Rudger first used a pseudonym.
It was when he had just escaped from Master’s rule and set foot in the outside world in earnest.
The first destination is the Exilion Empire.
Among them, the largest city in the Empire and the most likely place if there is a Relic.
The first place Ludger headed was Lindebrenyu, the capital of the empire.
And there was a pseudonym that Rudger first used.
The name was unintentionally used in connection with the military coup.
<Jack the Ripper>
A knife in one hand.
Ludger, holding a karambit dagger in the other hand, headed for the mansion where Carlone was staying.
This is Carlone’s mansion, but it was also the home of the Silver Sun Mafia.
All of the employees working here are members of the Silver Sun organization.
This fact meant only one thing for Rudger.
It was said that no one in this mansion needed to look after it.
* * *
All the lights in the mansion where Carlone is staying are turned off.
The darkness that the light could not drive invaded the inside of the mansion, and eventually the mansion was dyed black with heavy silence.
“what! what’s the matter!”
“Someone go and check everyone! If not, turn on the emergency generator!”
The members of the organization who were taking a break inside moved in a hurry, embarrassed by the sudden power outage.
Accidents caused by poor management of the mansion are unforgivable.
Knowing how eccentric the boss was, the gang members hurriedly headed to the breaker.
The gang members who arrived at the breaker with portable lights found the shape of a person standing in front of it.
what? Are you a colleague who came first?
“hey. How are you? The breaker?”
“… … .”
“Why don’t you answer me? What happened to the breaker!”
The gangster shone annoyedly and turned on the lights.
And saw.
The figure of a comrade who died while covered in blood.
“Mi, crazy?!”
The members of the organization who saw the scene were shocked and embarrassed.
The dead corpse soon fell forward.
And the existence that was hiding behind it was revealed.
it was a shadow
The whole body was covered with something black, and a shadow with only red eyes flowing where the eyes were supposed to be.
“What, what!”
“Who are you! Who dares to take the silver line!”
The shadow did not speak.
The red eye light seemed to explode strongly once, and then the shadows stretched without a sound.
At least that’s how it seemed to the members of the Silver Sun.
Eventually, as the shadows passed by, the gang members fell one by one, spraying blood.
A member of the Silver Sun organization who saw the death of a colleague shouted.
“Enemies! They came in without fear!”
“Kill!”
The members of the Silver Sun also fought back without running away.
They are those who have lived within the boundaries of violence for a long time.
Unlike other gossipers, he did not avoid fights.
However, the opponent was too bad.
The shadows were fast and too strong. It was an ax and a club, so no matter how much I swung it, it never touched the shadow.
Rather, only the members of the organization who wielded weapons were bleeding to death.
“Bring the gun!”
I didn’t want to do it like this, so I immediately brought a gun, but it was dark and I couldn’t see anything.
“What are you doing! Everyone get out of the way!”
“Everything, my legs can’t move!”
“what?”
The dying mob’s screams drew closer.
The gang member holding the gun showed hesitation.
The action leader shouted from the side.
“What are you doing! Just shoot!”
“Ha, but the colleagues in front!”
“If you don’t shoot, everyone will die!”
In the end, the gang members with the guns gritted their teeth and pulled the trigger.
Click. Click.
However, when the trigger was pulled, the bullet did not come out.
“what are you doing!”
“Second, the gun is out of order.”

“what?”
There is no way that the gun, which was working fine due to constant inspection every day, suddenly became inoperative.
The acting commander knew this case better than anything else.
“Silence of fire? Could it be that the assailant is a wizard?”
The acting chief was unreasonable.
His subordinates were dying just by passing by, let alone magic.
How could a wizard do such a thing?
The commander of the action grounded it.
“Everyone get out of the way! I’m out!”
In the end, he had no choice but to step out.
Although it is said that he retired due to injury, he was once a knight.
If the opponent is a magician, this one is also a good opponent.
With that thought in mind, the action leader drew the sword from his waist and rushed towards the shadow.
“this guy!”
The sword fell vertically while shouting.
At that moment, the opponent raised the dagger in both hands and blocked the sword.
“Block? If so, I’ll press down with force!”
If you go into a contest of strength, the one with superior physical ability has a much better advantage.
The commander’s forearm swelled nearly twice as much.
He intended to cut the intruder in half with that meager dagger.
However, the sword he wielded could not go any further.
“what?”
At that moment, something flashed in front of my eyes.
The action leader instinctively tilted his head back.
It was like an instinct he had developed while living as a knight.
If he hadn’t done that, he would have been decapitated.
The commander of the action hurriedly stepped back.
He backed away too hastily and lost the sword he was holding.
His eyes, which had adapted a little in the dark, roughly judged the other person’s outline.
‘Four arms?’
It was an unusually large arm that blocked the sword he was swinging.
Two arms made of shadows that flowed like coats down his shoulders.
There’s no way an ordinary magician could have a part like that.
‘Is it a magic number!’
The seasoned leader of the action figured out the identity of that shadow at once.
Indeed, if it was a magician, I could understand his ridiculous combat power even though he was a magician.
Magic beasts are such summoned creatures.
He swung his sword with the magic beast, and the magician himself swung another sword aiming at the gap created by the magic beast.
Didn’t he also almost fall for that method?
The back of my neck was still cold.
“Who the hell are you. Why would someone as powerful as you invade the Silver Sun and do something like this? Aren’t lives worth it?”
“Then did you touch me because you didn’t waste your life?”
The shadow spoke for the first time.
The action commander frowned and replied.
“Did you touch it?”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s enough to just give back as much as you suffered. Aren’t you like that too?”
Among Mafia members, there exists a strong precept called Omertà.
Among them, there is only one principle that those who touch themselves and the organization will never tolerate.
Vendetta.
It is bloody revenge, a punishment that must be fulfilled without any tolerance for the other party.
Hearing that, the commander of the action distorted his face.
“Revenge? How dare you take revenge on Silver Sun? It’s okay to be cheeky!”
Sureureung.
The action leader pulled out an extra sword.
A little while ago, I was taken aback by the unexpected surprise attack, but now it’s different.
“I’ll cut off your head and take it to the boss!”
However, the words of the action commander did not carry on to the end.
For some time, pure white frost had bound his legs.
‘Magic? When?’
It’s a secret magic enough to deceive one’s senses.
“Something like this!”
As soon as he broke the frost with his legs, the shadow rushed at him.
The daggers held by the shadows on both shoulders disturbed her eyes.
The commander of the action had no choice but to focus only on defense.
Each of the sword strikes wielded by the shadow arm was powerful enough to make his muscles tremble.
‘I’m a former knight, and I’m only pushed against wizards?’
But the reality was cruel.
visor! The sword in the commander’s hand bounced high into the air.
The commander of the action looked at the scene in vain, then exclaimed urgently.
“Hey, wait!”
But the other party didn’t listen to that.
Red eyes that glowed in the dark looked down at him.
“If you’ve acted like that up until now, you should have been prepared to suffer.”
And the sword was swung.
* * *
The noisy inside of the mansion subsided quietly.
The sound of footsteps echoed through the quiet corridor.
Sigh.
Eventually, the door to the office where Silver Sun’s boss, Carlone, was staying opened.
“Come on. I was waiting for you.”
There, Carlone greeted Ludger with a smile.
he didn’t run away
Rather, he was sitting at the table and drinking wine, as if showing off his leisure.
There was a chair across from Carlonet.
Rudger entered the room without saying a word and sat down on the chair.
A blue mist lay softly on the floor as he passed.
bang!
Rudger put what he was holding in his hand on the desk.
It was the bloodstained sword used by the recently deceased commander.
“Sorry. It was quite a useful load.”
Not even being surprised by the death of his subordinate, Carlone shrugged and trembled.
Ludger revealed his face by half-disarming [Ater Nocturnus].
“this. You are more noble than I thought.”
“You didn’t manage to escape.”
Rudger spoke provocatively to Carlone.
At the provocation that wasn’t like it, Carlone smiled.
“Did you think I would run away?”
“Because they must have built something like a secret passage in case of an emergency in a place like this.”
“No way.”
Even if he said that, Carlone adjusted her evaluation of Ludger inwardly.
he’s a sharp guy And at the same time, he has a good insight into the way this industry works.
“So you are what the beggars call their owners?”
“At least to those people, they are called owners.”
“To those people? Interesting. It sounds like it has a different name.”
“You heard it right.”
Rudger leaned back against the back of his chair.
Ludger’s slightly arrogantly raised chin gave off the feeling of looking down at Carlonet.
“Sometimes Jack the Ripper.”
those eyes.
“Sometimes James Moriarty.”
It’s like it’s not human.
“Sometimes Abraham van Helsing.”
Carlone was intimidated without realizing it.
“And until recently he was also called Machiavelli.”
“under.”
Carlone sneered to show that she hadn’t lost her momentum.
Most of all, it is the law to believe that it is real when you bluff in moderation.
“Aren’t you too young for that? And it was surprising I’m thinking of coming into a place like this alone.”
“It was nothing. I’ve heard of the Silver Sun’s notoriety, but to be honest, it’s atrocious.”
“okay? this is true After this job is over, I’m going to have to change the water of all the guys below.”
“You don’t have to. Because I took care of everything.”
And, saying, Rudger, who lost his luck, sprinkled his life.
“Do you think you will have another?”
“This is a very cruel person. Do you think you really have an advantage right now? You’re holding my lifeline right now?”
“You try hard to deny reality.”
“hey. We are different from the enemy society. We call it the Silver Sun. did you forget It looks like you’re using your strength, but you should have straightened her shoulders while looking at the seats.”
Right.
Carlone snapped with her finger.
At the signal, the study room and the hidden door in the wall opened, revealing the people hiding inside.
They were all gang members dressed in black suits.
“All of them are knight-level powers. There are even wizards among them. That number alone is twenty.”
Carlone couldn’t hold back the laughter that was about to escape from her lips.
In front of the opponent who thought he would have an advantage, by showing the hidden hand, he plunged into despair again.
And where can there be more pleasure than seeing that ruined face?
“I’ll tell you one more thing about existing services. Now that you’re here, haven’t you thought about what will happen to those ghetto bastards?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about all of a sudden.”
“I sent my men. Much more than I spent during the day today. Could it be that the people here didn’t think that Silver Sun was everything?”
“… … .”
“I should have arrived by now. And you’ll be having fun clearing out the ghetto bastards. You will do nothing, struggle and die. Everyone is powerless in the face of violence.”
Carlonet took a sip of wine and handed it to Rudger.
“It means I was over your head from the beginning. Neither strength nor resourcefulness.”
“It’s interesting.”
When the expected reaction did not come out, Carlonet narrowed her eyes.
“It’s no use pretending to be calm on purpose.”
“It’s because it’s funny to say that knowing how to do something is nothing but primitive violence.”
“what?”
“I guess you need to correct your attitude. first. I knew of the existence of your minions hiding in the secret room from the beginning. that’s how it came in and second. I am also grateful to you for this.”
“Thank you?”
“Violence.”
Ludger’s pupils curved like crescent moons.
“It’s the field where ‘we’ are most confident.”
* * *
A dark street at night.
Even streetlights were not installed, so hundreds of people moved the distance they had to move, relying on the moonlight alone.
All of the men in a hideous atmosphere had a weapon in their hand.
“A lot of them are coming. Not a pack of dogs.”
Alex let go of his back against the wall of the building.
“You mean you just have to beat them all? It’s simple.”
Around such Alex, the members of , stood one by one.
The action squad members who received the order frowned at those who stood in their way.
There were women, there were children, and there were strong men.
“What should I do?”
“Didn’t you hear the boss’s order? Wipe it all away.”
Anyway, at least a few people over there.
On the other hand, this is a large group of over 200 people.
The members of the action team exchanged glances with each other, grabbed their weapons, and strode forward.
Watching the scene, Alex stuck out his tongue.
“This is true. You didn’t even ask who it was, and you tried to kill me.”
“It’s nice to be clean.”
Pantos relaxed his shoulders and said.
Arfa also had a smile on his lips as if he was looking forward to the upcoming fight.
“Then let’s fight.”
said Alex, putting a mask on his face.
It was the moment when the officers stepped forward.
* * *
“Then, can we say that this is all the remaining power of the Silver Sun?”
Rudger glanced lightly at the organized combat agents glaring at him.
All of them have outstanding strength and talent, but they are evil by birth, so they kill people for money.
These were the people you didn’t need to look at.
“Is this a funny guy?”
Among them, one of the old-looking wizards laughed at Ludger.
“It seems that you don’t understand the situation. Don’t you know that it’s you who is surrounded? Or is it that you have a bad brain and still don’t understand what will happen to you?”
“I don’t know what will happen to me.”
Rudger stared intently at the wizard who spoke to him.
“I think I know what will happen to you guys.”
The wizard was about to shout, “Where are you bluffing?”
But his senses, and even his instincts, suddenly sounded an alarm.
‘what?’
The other elite felt the same way.
A strange feeling of uneasiness persisted in my mind.
What do you mean?
This unpleasant, unpleasant feeling.
‘for a moment. This blue aura now spread on the floor… … Mana?’
If this is pure mana that this man has been spilling since he entered this place.
Rather, there would be no more mana left to use magic.
But what is this anxiety about?
My whole body was screaming that I wanted to run away right now.
“What have you done?”
Carlonet also glared at Ludger, perhaps feeling a sense of danger.
“Nothing was done.”
Rudger replied with an expressionless face.
“I am a horse.”
right after that.
From the ceiling, something long and black descended slowly, oozing.
