Cody and the Adjutant came to report.
"Nightmare yes. Although weakened they are still troublesome," said the Mayor.
More than three hundred years ago, three existences appeared and destroyed the world order. Almost wiped out humans.
Descendants of Holy Mother—demi human—is the brightest. They are very troublesome and also not at the same time. It was because they possessed intelligence equaling even some beyond that of humans. In a short time they were able to establish their own kingdom. They were currently considered the main enemies of the human empire. The good point, as intelligent beings, they can be invited to communicate.
Then there's the dungeon. There is a strong assumption that dungeons are not formed naturally, but created by someone. If handled properly the dungeon would even bring profit. Of course a little mishandled then what happened was a disaster.
Last is the Dream World with its inhabitants.
"It's not like it can call them indefinitely" Detective Greyhorn said.
"But still ... Can you just leak a little information to me?"
The detective seemed to think for a moment before finally opening his mouth.
"Among the three existences that appeared 300 years ago, the Dream World was considered the most dangerous. Do you know why? That's because the creatures of the dream world are so perverted, wild and senseless" Detective Greyhorn explains. "One day a certain genius said 'because they are basically just beasts, why are we, as intelligent beings, not controlling them?' That's the origin of the Byzantine project" he continued.
The mayor who was as red as a tomato spewed out a mouthful of blood. The panicked adjutant gave a handkerchief and a glass of water to the Mayor.
What the hell is in those people's heads. They always blame adventurers as the culprit of all problems. But in reality they themselves create a lot of problems.
"What's the reason that man betrayed you?"
The man in question is of course Blackjack. He was then the head researcher. Even Darton who was far north of the empire heard of his fame.
"Either. Who knows."
Fighting continued.
The city guards had an absolute numerical advantage. Yet every one of them was clearly weaker than the Knight Battalion.
If Knights who specifically train to conquer dangerous monsters are in trouble, then there is no need to ask what their fate is like.
The number of soldiers who were killed immediately skyrocketed. Not a few guards decided to run away.
Let it.
From the beginning their goal was only to buy time for the knights to rest.
Still, the number of victims is too high. The Mayor's aide to the difficulty of holding Darton back from plunging directly into the battlefield.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
The melodious sound of an angel dissolved the gloomy atmosphere.
A beautiful woman appeared to them without anyone noticing. The panicked guards hurriedly brandished their weapons. The Mayor put on an expression of shock and disbelief. Detective Greyhorn nodded slightly and looked back at the battlefield.
About 30 people entered the battlefield and immediately turned the game board upside down. Don't just look at their pathetic numbers. It normally takes ten to twenty city guards to subdue one of the nightmare. But these people are able to fight the creature itself and still can achieve victory. As a result, the number of casualties statistics plummeted.
The Mayor slightly relaxed his stiff shoulders. He then asked the reason for the delay of the adventurers.
"We have guests coming" Anna replied with a gentle smile. "By the way, is this the fruit of nearly ten years of research, Delta?"
The Mayor was again surprised. Not only did this woman call Detective Greyhorn so casually, the detective was also being polite to her. What is the relationship between the two?
This woman is mysterious.
"That's right, Miss Anna. This is the fruit of countless guinea pigs," Greyhorn circus.
A crazy project with the aim of making the ultimate weapon for the survival of humanity is actually used to slaughter humans themselves.
"really ironic. Well, anyway, let's end it quickly."
Anna seems to want to do something but is stopped by Detective Greyhorn.
"Miss Anna. I'm sorry but I hope the lady will do something else."
Anna immediately understood the intent of that junior.
"Hm~. Okay. Then I'll go track the boy."
"Yes. Please-"
"GRAAHHHHHH!"
This feeling, a terror.
"What is that ...?"
"I'll go first."
Without waiting any longer Anna immediately disappeared somewhere. Probably towards the source of the sound coming from.
01:29
“You're too stubborn, not.”
“Already, stop running! Why don't you just give up, anyway, Jack.”
The captain of the judgment unit is currently cornering the mastermind of tonight's incident.
“Yes geez. You're a big boy, you know. Stop sticking to me.”
“Yes, I'm spoiled. So please get rid of all this.”
Unexpectedly the captain who usually appears fierce now put on a face of bleak.
“Yak. You can't fool me with your sweet face this time.”
“Cih. If so die.”
“Do not be rude so.”
Fireflowers fluttered here and there.
Both move very quickly. However, even amateurs know the Captain has a clear advantage.
In a one-on-one game it is impossible for Blackjack to win.
Unfortunately, no one ever said Jack would fight fairly.
Suddenly a purple light appeared above the ground. The light grew brighter and brighter until it finally formed a symbol in the air.
“You know why I lured you here?”
“Wait, trap?”
“Bingo. Why are you so careless tonight, my dear.”
Screeches of terror spread throughout the city. For a moment their bodies were dominated by fear. A thought flashed simultaneously in their minds, something very bad was about to come into this world.
After the light dimmed dozens of tentacles came to replace it.
It seems like a very terrible creature has been summoned through the ritual. Although, it seemed that only a part of his body was able to manifest into this world.
The tentacles moved violently and ungodly. Each attack created an explosive impact, providing instant death for its recipient.
Avoiding a single tentacle is easy enough for an O’hime class. But if there were ten, a hundred of them then the Captain would also be in trouble. More so they are covered in sticky mucus which minimizes the impact of the attack.
O’hime is so preoccupied with these tentacles that it can only watch the departure of Blackjack.
Of course he was very unwilling.
“JAACK!”
The captain threw his sword. A very dangerous act indeed. Fortunately on the way he picked up another sword.
The throw contained an extremely powerful intent from O'hime making it impossible to avoid. His sword smoothly shot through the air until it finally pierced the shoulders of Blackjack. His attack was a bit off.
The old man did not budge and still fled.
O'hime's annoyance is becoming more and more. With a monster of this level as a barrier it would take a very long time to defeat him. He also could not leave this monster acting at will as it could endanger the entire city.
Frustrating.
Really frustrating.
Very Frustrating.
An incredible force erupted from his slender body, creating the illusion of a moment as if the world was trembling.
"AAAAHHHHHH! OLD MAN!"
