058 – School tuition is more expensive than you think! #9

Fishuuu!

The world lit up like broad daylight with a loud explosion.

Salome looked up and saw a small sun rising in the sky.

It was a special flare made by adding magic power.

“The word that reminded me of that… .”

It must mean that the man, Judas, rescued the children safely.

Salome clicked her tongue.

“… You are faster than me.”

I thought it would be faster for Judas to deal with ‘Jack’, the owner of this wild vegetable, than to save the children.

Judas’s work seemed to be over before Salome could approach Jack.

Sssssssssssssssssss-.

At that moment, the hair on the nape of Salome’s neck stood up.

With the thief’s sharp senses, he could sense that something absurd was about to happen.

– Expansion. Destruction. flame. rain. star. fall. rock.

It felt like someone’s voice was ringing directly in my head.

It happened in an instant, without even realizing what it was.

Kwaaang-!

The sound of an earth-shaking explosion was heard from somewhere alive.

Whirling, waaang-!”

“Ouch, what the fuck! Something fell from the sky!”

“Ooh, a meteorite… ?!”

A meteorite the size of a fist.

Disasters pouring down from the sky began to indiscriminately destroy everything, including thieves’ huts and tables in bars.

“Eh, run away!”

“You run away! Where!”

“Quaaagh!”

The thieves screamed and fell as they were hit by an unknown stone, as if there was no living hell.

Would the ancient thief cities of Salom and Somora, which are said to have been destroyed in one night, be like this?

In Salome’s opinion, this was not just a natural phenomenon, but an artificial meteorite.

It must be a powerful destructive magic.

‘Is that the magician? At least 7 words are used. Was it a large-scale chant that resonated in the world earlier?’

Ssuck, ssuck-.

Dodging between the falling meteorites, Salome honestly admired.

From the 6th circle magic, which uses 6 sentences, it is called ‘great magic’.

Not to mention, the great magic of the 7th circle with 7 sentences now.

If there was a wizard who could carry out such a large-scale ceremony alone in a war, the map of the world could have become a little more monotonous.

“Ouch! Come on, turn off the lights! Turn off the lights!”

“How can you put out the lights when everything is on fire, you stupid bastard!”

“Three, is it the end of the world… .”

In the chaos where the heat rises and the thieves scream.

Salome moved slowly to the tent on top of the hill.

Tent.

No, can we call it a tent?

It was like a tower made of all kinds of junk piled up.

A tower made by randomly stacking stolen goods.

When I entered it, my feet stepped on the gold coins and gold ingots littered on the floor.

Jewelry, rings, and other accessories were spread out like a carpet and scattered randomly.

“… … .”

It was a familiar sight to Salome, who was called the princess of the back alley.

An audience room built with treasures stolen from all over the world.

All kinds of famous paintings and treasured swords were hung on the wall like wallpaper, and instead of a curtain, a cloak made of silk and gold was hung on the throne.

It was the appearance of the [garbage throne] where the king of thieves ruled despicably.

“What about it, princess of thieves. pretty similar isn’t it? The trash throne in Kowloon Mountains in the Dark Forest.”

The rogue sitting on the throne said.

He was wearing a furry leather coat and tight trousers.

He had a very skinny impression and his eyes were sunken.

Everything looked old, worn out, and tired, but only the jeweled crown on her head was strangely gorgeous.

‘jack.’

Salome recognized at once that this man was Jack, the great thief who ruled the whole of Phrygia. His skills are comparable to Herod of Judah, the 12th generation, who was called the king of thieves earlier.

Earlier, Herod was also a sworn brother who belonged to the same criminal group.

In fact, Salome had joined Tenebris, a cult in Nocturne, to pursue this man.

It was Jack, who was said to have died in an attack by barbarians, but since Salome knew well the skills of Herod, the former Jew, I thought that Jack, who had skills similar to Herod’s, would never have died.

If so, she thought of a chance to find Jack by hiding in an evil society gathering near the Principality of Phrygia.

of course.

Salome didn’t express her thoughts at all, and calmly drew out her shuriken and said.

“It’s similar to the original from the Throne of Trash. But in the end it’s just a counterfeit. Because the real thing was 10 times more gorgeous than this. The quantity and quality of treasures are nothing compared to the real thing.”

“To be savage. therefore. my step-nephew What’s going on outside right now? This uncle would like an explanation.”

Jack asked.

Salome answered lightly, keeping her distance from the man.

“What is Uncle? you will die to me soon But before I kill you, I want to ask you something. Do you know what a ‘bowl’ is?”

“bowl”.

It was an object passed down through secret whispers and secret gestures among those who served Nocturne.

Even Salome didn’t know what it was.

I just know who has it.

“This is the treasure my father wanted so much. If you were called your father’s blood brother, of course you know what it is, right?”

“It’s a bowl.”

Shuk-.

Mad killer Jack stood up.

Cheolkkeok, sereung-.

He drew a pistol and a dagger from his waistband.

Combat with pistols and daggers.

This was so much like Herod, her father, that Salome was slightly reminiscent.

Although he was criticized as the world’s most vicious scum, his father was kind and warm to Salome.

—and the night that the father was killed by the new Judas.

Salome’s 19th birthday.

* * *

‘… Oops!’

Salome was briefly lost in her memories for about a second.

However, in the world of agile thieves, one second was too long.

Tadadang-!

The pistol, fired in an instant, shattered several lanterns that were burning near the trash throne.

Thanks to that, everything around them became dark and the figure of the man ‘Jack’ disappeared taking advantage of the commotion.

All I hear is a voice that sounds like scratching glass with an ironwood.

“You can tell me about the bowl. But it’s not fun to answer so meekly. my niece daughter If you want to get knowledge from me, take it away and steal it. In the name of Nocturne!”

“Hmph, being a nuisance!”

Salome snorted.

But deep inside, I was very tense.

jack.

It was said that his skill was on par with Herod, who was called the king of thieves.

In other words, Salome was fighting the former Judas.

‘calm down. During that time, I also trained a lot.’

Salome’s rating is Platinum.

The sum of all stats reached 42.

As Salome understood, the sum of Jack’s abilities was probably around 45.

Although the level was higher than his own, it wasn’t to the extent that he couldn’t overturn it depending on his skills.

“There are so many gaps! It seems you didn’t learn properly from Herod!”

Shock-!

A blade came out of the darkness.

Salome leaned back with a very supple feeling.

The blade that was aiming at Salome’s neck only cut through the air with the soft movements typical of female thieves.

After the surprise attack, Salome smirked as she saw the pattern of the dagger being drawn horizontally toward her neck.

“It is just like my father. You can’t beat me if you fight the same battle as my father, Jack. Because I stole and mastered all of my father’s skills!”

“Oh, yes? You are indeed the princess of the back alley.”

Sussuk-.

Out of the darkness Jack reappeared.

He said, touching the corner of his shaggy mouth.

“So, did your father tell you about this? 《Shadow Servant》-.”

Ssuk-.

The shadow of Jack, who was lying flat on the floor, raised himself.

Literally, the shadow appeared like an alter ego.

“What is that… .”

Jack nodded as Salome was startled.

“Didn’t you tell me too? Herod would have done enough of this. That’s why I didn’t have to tell you, my daughter. In the first place, you are just a sheep raised to be sacrificed.”

“Sheep raised to be sacrificed? What kind of bullshit is that—”

It was when Salome was about to say something.

Shadow and Jack pounced on Salome.

At the same time as his attack with a ferocious dagger, the shadow blade held by Jack’s shadow deeply stabbed Salome in the shoulder.

push.

“Geuuu!!!!”

“hehehehe, niece, did you say Salome now? Did you call me fake earlier? But don’t belittle it by saying it’s fake. Sometimes fakes are more lethal than the real ones!”

The man mercilessly pounced on Salome, who had been stabbed in the shoulder.

His dagger only targeted Salome’s weak points, such as her heart and eyes.

Shuk, shook.

Although she was avoiding the attack with her quick movements, Salome was in a hurry to defend or evade, so she could not even counterattack.

It was a one-sided defense.

“Salome, I will kill you, my niece, and I will become even closer to the vessel! hahahaha!”

“So, what is that bowl!”

“The bowl is like that. It can be said to be the Holy Grail that can only be reached by endlessly piling up the karma of vice and immorality. Just like Herod did. For example, to kill your wife with your own hands?”

“What… ?”

“Isn’t your mother supposed to have died in an unfortunate accident when your father was caught off guard? But no. Your mother died at the hands of your father. And you were destined to be too!”

“What are you talking about!”

“Salome, you were just a scapegoat pampered by your father to die. What could be more terrifying than killing your own daughter? Ha ha ha ha… !”

Salome couldn’t understand what Jack was saying.

No, I didn’t want to understand.

It was good to see that I didn’t want to believe it.

But Salome was smart enough to play the Graham Academy teacher perfectly. The head understood exactly what Jack was saying.

“My father… They said they tried to kill me… ?”

“Poor thing. How does it feel to witness the truth of the man you thought was an evil but kind father? Do you know how many sons and daughters he called sons and daughters he killed to accumulate vices?”

“Hey, don’t lie! Do you know if I can be fooled by that? You bastard!”

“If it’s a lie, go to hell and ask yourself! How many prostitutes and their children he killed!”

Shuuk-.

Jack’s blade aimed at Salome’s stomach.

Embarrassed by the story just now, Salome couldn’t escape and was deeply stabbed by the blade.

“… … !”

Salome couldn’t even scream.

As he silently exhaled all the air in his lungs, Jack pulled out the blade and laughed meanly as he licked the red blood flowing down the blade with his tongue.

“done. Even if it’s a nephew, he killed his niece, so he must have accumulated a lot of evil. This increases the odds of being selected for the bowl. Thank you, Salome. You are a wonderful niece.”

“… Ugh, ugh… .”

“I will tell you as a gift from the underworld. The ‘vessel’ dwells in those who have piled up the karma of vice and immorality the highest. It should have belonged to Herod. But Herod failed. A guy called the Demon King also jumped out.”

“… … .”

Salome’s vision grew blurry.

The story of the man who was talking about something did not touch me well.

The feeling of not being able to enter your head from your ears and lingering only on the surface.

Salome cooling down.

Seeing Salome like that, Jack raised his gun.

It was definitely meant to kill.

however.

“yes?”

Jack’s gun never fired.

Soon Jack found his gun and the palm of his hand lying on the floor.

Pushuuwook-.

Blood spurted like a fountain from the wrist that had been severed by something sharp.

“what! What the fuck!”

I didn’t even know what had happened.

Jack’s remaining arm had also been severed and he was rolling on the floor.

“Fuck, what is this!!!!”

Jack was taken aback by the unexpected situation.

As he looked around in a situation he had never felt before, Jack could barely notice a sharp flash of silver light flashing through the darkness.

However, the moment I noticed it, the light in my left eye disappeared this time.

“Quaaa!!!”

Dig-!

The pain from the sharp cut shook Jack’s head.

At the same time, the left ankle was also cut off in an instant.

“Seabaaa al -ah ─ !!!”

Jack, who had both arms and one ankle cut off, was unable to do anything and rolled on the floor.

It was only then that the silver light that had been shining in the darkness revealed itself.

it was a knife

And it was a black-haired man holding the knife in his hand.

“Hey, savage… !!!!”

25 years ago.

It was Jack who was caught up in a riot by the Barbarians in the Underground Market and almost died.

When he saw the black-haired man, anger surged up at the memory of that time.

however.

The rage soon subsided into chilling fear and horror.

“You, you are Judas. you are that judas Killing Herod… !”

“yes. are you jack Nice to meet you.”

“Oh my gosh… .”

Jack was speechless.

He is a skilled thief who is comparable to Judas of the previous generation.

Because of that, I was able to realize how terrifying the man in front of me was.

Jack had to admit that he was terribly wrong.

‘… Until the moment I die, no matter how many evil deeds I accumulate, I cannot follow this man. This guy is no longer human. It is a bad omen itself that wears a human body… !’

Jack’s head, which was bleeding profusely, now remembered the past like a kaleidoscope.

25 years ago.

It reminded me of the moment when the old witch who had been held as a slave said, “Be careful of your black hair.”

I thought the ominous prophecy meant barbarians who attacked the market, but I was very mistaken.

Jack instinctively realized that the man who had just appeared in front of him was his own ominous prophecy.

Now Jack has only one thing to do.

“Sah, save me… . I will never show myself in front of people again… . never… . I will go into the mountains where no one is looking for me and live alone. help me… . please… . have mercy… .”

Jack fell flat and bowed his head.

to change fate.

There was no gwonmo or alcohol.

Seriously, he was begging for his life.

“Please save me… . I swear by Nocturne’s name. everything i have you can have it all Please save my life… .”

A man who looked like a bad omen just calmly looked down at such Jack.

Then he nodded his head willingly.

“great. If I kill you myself, the experience will be quite large. It’s hard for me to have to raise a lot of experience points. In that sense, I’m not going to kill you. Be lucky.”

“Ooh, luck… !”

A sudden hope came to Jack’s heart.

After all, I was good at living according to my fortune——I thought for a moment.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

A meteorite that fell from the sky crumbled the clutter that had formed the garbage throne.

Gold coins piled high enough to reach the ceiling are pouring down.

Warrr-.

Soon, everything around began to burn with the fire brought by the meteorite.

The gold coins, gold ingots, and jewels that overturned the floor at the hot temperature melted and overturned the floor like a furnace.

“Shivaaal! aaagh! aaagh!”

Jack is immersed in hot melting gold.

Hearing his cries, the king of thieves spoke.

“To drown in gold coins and die. You’re a damn lucky guy For a thief, he’s a merchant.”
