Chapter 31: Red Storm
I was able to move through the busy streets of Rebrandt without any hindrance.
Although it was called a barony, Relbrandt's territory was not that small.
The population was quite large, and the production was good. If I just roll with it, that is.
"But why do he manage it like this?"
If I were the lord, I would not have let thieves roam around.
If Rebrandt's life becomes stable, wouldn't he be able to earn that much?
However, no such movement was seen in the Barony of Rellbrandt.
How on earth do I know that?
'Because all the people walking around the downtown area are thieves.'
The person I had seen at the campsite appeared every time I turned my gaze.
How on earth do you think this is normal?
For the residents of the territory, it is a luxury to have a drink in a shabby pub.
"Hmm?"
While I was walking through a busy downtown area, a strange thought suddenly occurred to me.
When a smartly dressed person passes by, isn't it worth at least talking to them? Of course, in general, that would hardly be the case.
But this territory is like a den of thieves. But not even a single glance of greed passed by.
'The thieves just ignore this crap?'
There was absolutely no way that was possible. Sure enough, a few guys who smelled money came out of nowhere.
"Hehehe! Isn't that the gentleman who came into the territory today?"
"If you speak nicely, give me everything you have. Otherwise, you'll be in real trouble."
They all have unusual tattoos. Licking a dagger with your tongue was definitely not normal.
No, actually, they were doing really well.
It was such an overwhelming visual that it would make anyone who encountered it shiver. Moreover, the numerical superiority was also enormous.
'There are only about ten people revealed, but there are no other signs... about a hundred.'
Just one person burst in, and a hundred people came rushing out? It was absurd, but I vaguely understood it.
There are no decent people here, only thieves swarming around, so where is there anything to loot?
"Great. I'm just coming out to warm up."
『The Beast's Heart Activates』
Tsk tsk tsk tsk!
I took out the gavel, emitting red energy.
Originally, Abel Carrius enjoyed using a large greatsword.
However, perhaps because it was the first time I held a gavel after being possessed, I felt much more comfortable with it. It's also good for beating up and subduing.
"He's a guy who shouldn't be talked about. You all know that, right? The first one to eat is the owner!"
"Wow!"
After someone shouted, the thieves rushed in at once. A large-scale attack where even those who were hiding crawled out.
It would not be an exaggeration to say a large-scale attack where even those who were hiding crawled out.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a complete onslaught. But I swung the gavel calmly. First, let's hit the one that comes closest.
"Aaaaahhh!"
A refreshing sound erupted from the hammerhead stuck in his forehead.
The guy who had been swinging the dagger spun around and fell to the ground with a thud.
Regardless of whether his comrade was hurt or not, another guy immediately ran in and fired a single shot.
It was a surprise blow that came out of a puffy sleeve. But it didn't work for me at all. He sent the blade flying with a slight nod, then I struck the gavel hard.
Teardrop!
"Kueeeeek!"
The guy who allowed himself to be hit in the stomach flew far away and crashed into a shabby building.
Regardless, I carried out my next move without even looking at him. This was because dozens of daggers were thrown at the same time.
'Isn't this a bit harsh?'
Since they were all people who made a living by stealing, their throwing skills were considerable.
They all aimed precisely at the vital points. But even so, it was just a lump of iron thrown by an ordinary person.
**Tsk tsk tsk tsk!**
With just one big swing of the gavel, all the daggers flew away.
This was because the red energy suddenly released and cleared a wide area.
'And! Is this okay?'
Honestly, I was a bit surprised that I even did it this time. I just had a thought in my head, and it immediately came true.
The thieves must have been taken aback as well, so the silence continued for quite a long time. I said, looking around arrogantly.
"Put your heads in."
But no one was moving. Well, it's possible that the sudden reversal of events left them unable to grasp the situation.
So what should I do?
'I need to clearly engrave who has the upper hand.'
I craned my neck and took a step forward.
Every time that happened, the thieves began to retreat, hesitantly.
I was overwhelmed by the transcendent force. A faint smile appeared on my lips.
Soon, the etiquette injector took on a red aura.
If I keep destroying a few more of them, They'll soon realize it. The point is that if I don't hit their head, one of them will break.
But it was at that very moment.
"Stop!"
Isn't it just that someone suddenly appears?
It didn't just fly in from nowhere, it just appeared as if it was springing out of the ground.
'Isn't this a bit surprising?'
Even at first glance, he was a very skilled person.
Although it was only for a moment, he deceived my attention. So I decided to give him a prize.
"Know it as glory. Because it's my first time being 100%."
Soon, a red storm blew into the bustling streets of the Relbrandt estate.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
