020 – A thief must be good at hide and seek #4

“brother! I can’t see the kids!”

“Fuck! Go find it! I couldn’t have run away! Even if you run, it’s because they’re kids!”

The thieves managed to restore the fire in the warehouse that had gone out.

However, the children who were tied up disappeared somewhere.

All that remained was the ropes tying them together.

In this situation, ‘Brother’ was greatly embarrassed.

‘If the boss knows about this… .’

The leader of the Alubaba bandits.

He was a terrible man even to ‘Brother’, who had lived as a criminal all his life.

If he finds out about this situation, he will die.

no.

There was a high probability of going through something that might be better off dead.

So my brother desperately shouted.

“find! Hurry up and find it!”

“Okay! Follow me too! We have to go through all of this underground aqueduct to find it!”

The savage bandits started moving along the underground waterways of the Principality of Phrygia.

And Naru, who was hiding in the dark and watching them, spoke softly.

“Shh, you have to be quiet. Like when you play hide and seek.”

“… … .”

Naru and Cecily were fully immersing themselves in the sewer water.

It was very embarrassing to hide in dirty water, but Cecily wasn’t in a situation to blame for that.

‘If Miss Naru hadn’t saved us, we would have been in big trouble… !’

Naru threw a stone and extinguished all the lanterns in the warehouse.

And taking advantage of that gap, he untied all the ropes that were binding the children’s bodies with an old butterfly knife.

children who ran away.

adults chasing them.

It was, so to speak, a game of hide and seek on a grand scale.

However, Cecily was still uneasy.

Opponents are adults.

A terrifying thug.

They thought it was only a matter of time before they found them.

However, Naru seemed to have a different idea.

“I will be back soon. to find me… ! No matter where I was hiding, my dad always found this naru. So, just wait a little bit.”

Naru said calmly.

That was the moment.

“Oops!”

“Ahh!”

Men screamed in the darkness that could be seen in the distance.

“What is it! Arisen, Cobot!”

‘Brother’ shouted into the darkness, but there was no answer.

All I can feel is a gloomy and dark aura.

“… Could Judas have come!?”

Cecily exclaimed slightly in anticipation.

However, Naru shook her head with a more serious expression than ever before.

“Shh… . not my dad… ! You are a dangerous person… !”

Naruto closed his mouth after that.

Soon enough, something appeared slowly out of the darkness.

Seeing this, Cecily was stunned.

monster.

Devil.

The man who appeared out of the darkness was an evil person who could be called that.

The black robe decorated with skulls was extremely frightening.

“Two, boss… .”

“you. What kind of fuss is this?”

“I-that’s… Children run away… .”

“Tsk. It seems that you, too, were not enough to carry the flag of Alubaba. are you okay. I’ll unleash 100 of my thieves and make them chase after the children. You have worked hard so far.”

“Two, Boss! that, that… . A variable we didn’t expect… ! There was that, that Judah’s daughter! It’s that bitch! That guy—”

“Is it Judas? How dare you mention that name in front of me?”

Chew-.

The man called the boss drew his sword and cut off the head of ‘Brother’.

The moment the person’s neck rolled across the floor, Cecily’s eyes went white.

“… ugh… .”

However, the reason why she didn’t scream was because Naru had covered Cecily’s mouth with the palm of her hand.

Just when Cecily thought she was lucky, something even more surprising happened.

Ssss-.

I wondered if the decapitated ‘brother’ body was wriggling on the floor, and then I got up.

Seeing that, the boss wearing a black robe said.

“Okay, now you’ve become a member of the Death Thieves, Alu Baba. Welcome to join us. So, all of you go. go find the kids The daughter of Judah.”

-Grrr… !

The blue-eyed thieves standing behind the boss opened their rotten mouths and shouted.

hell.

In Cecily’s opinion, this place was hell itself.

-Grrr-.

Then, a thief with blue eyes started approaching the pool where Cecily and Naru were hiding.

Naru and Cecily took another deep breath and dived.

Bogrrr-.

When cold water wraps around your body.

-Grrr… !!!

When the roar of a terrible monster begins to echo above Cecily’s head.

Cecily closed her eyes and thought.

‘Dad… !’

A father who always protected him.

Like memories from a long time ago, I can’t remember his face anymore, but Cecily’s father was a better and stronger man than anyone else.

He was always the one who saved Cecily.

-Grrr… !!!

“Dad… !”

It was finally when Cecily shouted loudly in the water.

with a plop-.

Something grabbed Cecily by the scruff of her neck and pulled her out of the water.

“hehehehe… !”

Cecily was so scared that she screamed and struggled.

As a young lady of a noble family, she was ashamed to urinate.

“hehehehe… ! hehehehe… !”

“Stop struggling.”

pat-.

Cecily opened her eyes at the familiar voice.

Then, he saw a dark-haired man holding Naru and Cecily by the nape of their necks with one hand and lifting them up.

“Da, you are Bendit Judas!”

“Dad… !”

underground.

The Arubaba bandits had enemies underground in the kingdom of Ordor.

I thought the Arubaba bandits formed in Phrygia would be similar.

This Principality of Phrygia had excellent water facilities.

There was a water system installed on the city streets, so fish were living there.

The water system is said to be based underground.

“Therefore, there is a high probability that there are thieves underground in Phrygia.”

It was the correct answer.

But if there’s one thing that goes beyond my expectations, this is it.

-Grrr… .

“Are you undead?”

undead.

dead.

Undead Mage – A monster brought back to life by Valdes’ evil magic.

Hazard level is at least Bronze.

“There are at least a hundred of these guys. Are you thinking of starting a rebellion?”

This underground aqueduct was a completely undead den.

According to Garot’s assessment, it could be said that it was a place with at least a platinum level of risk.

“Dad… !”

Naru hugged me.

And the little blonde whimpers.

“Thank you for saving me, Judas, but the work is not over yet… !”

That’s right.

The work isn’t over yet.

But the ‘work’ I’m going to do in the future might be a bit like that to the kids.

“Guys, we’re playing hide and seek. Close your eyes and count to 100. find me behind got it? If you want to become a great thief like me, playing hide-and-seek anytime, anywhere is the basic of the basics.”

“under? What is hide and seek in the current situation… !”

“Yes! Naru! I’ll close my eyes! Then, one-!”

Naru started counting.

“two-!”

ㅡGeueureaaa!!!

When Naru counted to two, I hit the scruff of the undead’s neck with the blade of my hand. The head of the dead falls and the torso rolls on the floor.

It was a gruesome sight.

– Grrr… !

with a plop-.

Soon, corpses with blue eyes popped out of the water where Naru and Cecily were hiding.

I trampled on his face and exploded it.

Kwajik-!

“… three!”

Have you just knocked down three?

There will be no end to this

sereung-.

I pulled out a dagger from my waistband.

“Aim for the sorcerer who summons the dead.”

Apparently, the reliance of the dead on ‘light’ was the same as I had known.

Then the relative law is clear.

I tossed the dagger I had drawn straight into the torch in the culvert.

Pot, pot-pot-.

It was the moment when everything went dark.

But my eyes began to see everything more clearly than when the lights were bright.

It was thanks to [Thief’s Eye], which became like a C-class skill after being extremely trained to steal things in the dark.

-Grrr…

“What, what happened! What’s going on! Where is my brother!?”

“I don’t know! Ahh!”

“twelve… !”

“Sah, help me… ! I want to get out of here… ! Let me out of here, out of here… !”

“The undead… !”

“aaa!!! I can’t see anything!!!”

“Twenty-five… !”

flash-.

Naru’s voice rang out every time the blade flashed in the dark.

“hoarse… !”

How do you turn fifty right from twenty-five?

Naru seems to be weak with numbers.

If today’s work ends safely, I’ll let you know so that you can count well to at least 100.

With that thought in mind, I mechanically moved my hand.

blood splatter

Bones crumble and screams fill the culverts.

“Seventy-two… !”

As the number of corpses fell on the floor increased, the senses became clearer.

The feeling of being peeled off in a peaceful era.

“Ninety seven… ! ninety eight… . ninety eight… .”

Naru’s counting stopped in the darkness.

Don’t you know what number comes after ninety-eight?

Fire-.

Then a flame burned in front of my eyes.

When I came to my senses, countless distorted corpses were lying on the floor.

“It is a terrible sight. Just like that day.”

said someone holding a torch.

It was a man wearing a black robe.

The voice was terrible, like nails scratching through glass.

I asked.

“Are you the boss of these dead?”

“yes. Judas, you wouldn’t say that you forgot me. The day the Arubaba bandits were torn apart by your hands. Am I the only survivor? I’m the only survivor… !”

Are you a survivor of the Arubaba Bandit Incident?

Earlier, I had slaughtered over 100 thieves.

no.

The truth is a lie.

I didn’t kill 100 people.

It was 99 people.

One was sent alive.

Because he wasn’t a thief.

He was a boy who was used by bandits.

The Arubaba bandits used children to commit crimes.

The last 100 boys were kidnapped by bandits.

His name was Al—something, but I can’t remember.

“The bandits were my family… ! That’s what Judas took away… ! I’ll make you regret not killing me back then… !”

By the way.

After saving the kidnapped one, it appears again and that sounds like that.

But his danger was real.

“For some reason, the faces of the corpses are familiar. You dug the graves of the thieves and brought them back to life.”

“yes! I kill you with my family that died to you! After all, you must have come to Phrygia knowing that I, Al Sahad, are here! Other people may not know, but I can! That you came to this Principality of Phrygia to kill me! hahahaha!”

It’s not…

Those who deal with necromancy are all crazy like this.

The problem was that this guy’s skills could be called ‘real’ in their own way.

“Arise, thieves of death. Kill all living things! Take everything away!”

The black robed thief moved his hand.

Then the corpses I had just defeated began to coalesce into one.

It soon turned into a twisted, terrifying monster that would fill the underpass.

A centipede made of corpses? dragon? snake?

It was something I couldn’t explain with my poor vocabulary.

One thing is for sure: it’s ‘dangerous’.

According to my brain, the risk level is at least gold.

Whoa-!

It moved at an unimaginable speed and hit my torso.

* * *

Boss Al Sahad felt the seething power.

It felt like the blood of the sacrifices he had sacrificed so far instilled a sense of omnipotence into every corner of his body.

Sahad’s Corpse Dragon was particularly powerful.

The minimum level of subjugation is gold.

A disaster among disasters that took the lives of countless heroes in the war against Pandaemonium.

Such things run amok in the aquifers.

– Grrr… !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I will steal this world and become king! Judas, I will take your name as mine too! Just as you took everything from me, I will take everything from you!”

Sahad shouted at Judas, who was rolling on the floor like a worm.

It was very refreshing to see the man struggling like a nightmare even now.

Indeed, a corpse dragon.

Was Judas helpless in front of that terrible majesty?

‘No, I’ve become stronger! With the effect of the sacrifices he gave up even giving up on humans! Now I’m at least platinum grade! I am the worst and strongest thief!’

Sahad shouted with joy and pleasure as he saw Judas, who was only escaping unilaterally from the corpse dragon.

“Judah! Why? The you you knew wasn’t like this? Was the rumor true? Rumors of being ‘cursed’!”

“You seem to know me pretty well.”

“Because I have never forgotten your name! Or is it that you’re not motivated? It must be dealt with quickly! I sent my dead to the side where your daughter is!”

“Damn it.”

He heard Judas vomit.

Chambang, Chambang-.

Bendit Yuda rises from the submerged water on the floor.

He spat nonchalantly and then raised his thumb.

“I’m sorry. I think I’ve counted almost 100 seconds, so I’m going to finish it. It looks like I’m going to get scolded by Brigitte or a jerk. You are stronger than I thought.”

pat-.

Judas swings his thumb as hard as he can and stabs him in the vicinity of his heart.

“What… ?”

self-harm here?

Sahad could not understand the situation.

however.

At that moment, the figure of Judas disappeared before his eyes.

Pooh-.

When he came to his senses, something sprouted on Sahad’s chest.

It was someone’s hand that didn’t match her chest at all.

“Cool, that’s it!”

“Do you have no heart? You are no longer human either. Is it a lich?”

“Where are you! where are you!”

Sahad hurriedly turned around and surveyed his surroundings.

I shared my vision with the many eyes of the corpse dragon, but nothing was visible in the darkness where the torches were burning.

All I feel is silence.

that silence.

The loneliness that no one answered even if he shouted flashed back to the situation of ‘that day’ and made Sahad’s body goosebumps.

It was the first fear I felt after becoming a dead person myself.

fear.

To think that an ‘immortal’ like Al Sahad felt fear.

‘Are you feeling afraid? is this me? It can’t be! Hiding one’s appearance is a trick that any famous thief can do! It’s not me who didn’t expect this much!’

Shuk-.

Sahad raised his right hand.

Go oh oh-.

Fraud gathers in your hands.

For Al Sahad, the corpse dragon was actually nothing more than a tactic of deception.

What is truly dangerous is Al Sahad himself, who has become a ‘rich’.

“Judas, you son of a bitch! I will blow up the entire Principality of Phrygia!”

A terrifying scam enough to blow up the whole area along with the ground.

It was the moment I was about to release it in all directions.

“… what is this… !?”

Sahad noticed that his right hand was missing.

No, not just the right hand.

left arm too.

legs too.

When I came to my senses, everything was gone.

As if someone had stolen it.

It was a technique that even Sahad, who had reached the realm of superhumans, could not notice.

Can we call this ‘technology’ in the first place?

“This Shibaaal—!!! This is impossible-!!! You bastard Judas, where did you get that kind of power? !!! On the subject of humans–!!!”

It is a ‘wall’ that even Al Sahad, who has sacrificed countless lives for necromancy, cannot overcome.

In the eyes of Al Sahad, who had crossed the realm through dishonest methods, a shadow in the shape of a human was dimly visible.

It was a darker and clearer shadow cast in the cold, icy darkness.

It is slowly approaching Al Sahad.

“Oh, don’t come… !!! Do not come… !!!”

In Al Sahad’s mind, which was growing complicated with anger and fear, a rumor he had heard before suddenly came to mind.

A rumor that spread between the wall and the shade when the war ended when the demon king fell.

The story was so ridiculous that everyone who heard it laughed at it.

“I can’t believe I’m selling you guys—”

“Shh.”
