The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 190
Episode 190
: Marcelo Machado.
A man born in a Brazilian slum who belonged to a gang based in Sao Paulo.
He survived by hunting rats and bugs and rummaging through food waste, and as an adult, he realized something.
The fact that he has absolutely no empathy for others.
Since he had always lived for his own survival, there was no room for such cliches to form.
However, it was nothing short of a blessing for him.
Subjugating others and brutally executing them did not bother me at all.
On the contrary, it was refreshing and even fun, so it was natural that he fell into a bad direction.
Everyone gets several opportunities in life to decide how to live.
However, Marcelo thought that such an opportunity had never come to him before.
Because I have lived the way I was born until now.
However, all mankind was given a choice. A choice that will determine your life after transfer.
Marcelo chose the easy and familiar path.
The way to climb up by killing and trampling on others.
Now he was sitting in a mansion located in the center of Azelfog. He sits on an ornately decorated chair reminiscent of a throne, with his attendants lined up on both sides.
Originally, this was a nobleman’s mansion, but now it has been taken over by Marcelo’s gang. There was no way he would have taken it in a kind way.
“Marcelo. “Isn’t this a bit much?”
“Yes, Jonas died, and the rest either came back as half-assholes or died on the spot!”
Marcelo kept his mouth shut despite the criticism from his subordinates.
This happens often.
It was something I had to endure because I was with people who were born like that from the beginning.
One of the executives assisting him said.
“Jonas wasn’t a very useful guy to begin with. I’ve had a limp since my last job. “I probably used it a few more times before throwing it away.”
“… what?”
“Do you think this is a paradise of dreams and hopes? Let’s hope that we can be of use to each other. Anyway, Jonas has done his part, so what are your next plans, Marcelo?”
Marcelo rested his elbows on the chair and rested his face on his arms.
“… The hunter will soon arrive in Azelfog. “The goats sent it.”
Goats.
The leaders of the cartel he belonged to were called goats. The cartel itself was also called the goats.
“Hunter? who?”
“Trilets.”
“Are they people who only run on money?”
“Yes, I decided to give 20 platinum coins for killing him and 40 coins for subduing him.”
“That… that much? “Isn’t that too much money for a ghost test?”
Ghost Prosecutor was also another nickname for one person. His arms were so bizarre that he deserved that nickname.
“The ghost swordsman is strong. That’s why I’m trying to attract you. Since I’m also from Nevenia, I might be able to provide other help later…”
“Couldn’t we have solved it on our own?”
“If everyone, including me, joins in, we can solve this problem. Instead, how many of them will have their necks intact after the battle here?”
Nod.
One of the other subordinates who agreed with Marcelo’s words spoke.
“But… did you see that during the day?”
“Oh, that new monster that appeared.”
“how will we do it? Before you figure out who that guy is, don’t be careful about your movements…”
“That’s stupid.”
“Why…”
“In the first place, you would be right. But… if we, who suffered a one-sided loss from the ghost prosecutor, don’t respond and wait, people will think that Marcelo is afraid of the ghost prosecutor.”
“… ah!”
“In essence, when fear decreases… governing becomes more difficult. The ruler must be fear itself. “You can only rule over humans if you don’t look like a human at all.”
“Then how will the personnel be distributed….”
“You can leave it to Gustavo to find the guy, and we can handle the ghost testing first. After all, the goal was to test ghosts. Who knows, if the ghost swordsman accepts our offer, he might harvest that monster as well.”
Marcelo said calmly.
“Tonight is the last night. … The conversation ends tonight. “If they come and act arrogantly, we have to do something about it.”
* * *
Slumped…
A member of Marcelo’s gang fell to the floor. He was the one who had been held by the collar in the hands of about a dozen people just a moment ago.
“Since we’ve come this far, we should go in.”
“Dawn… Is this right? Wouldn’t it be better to contact the benefactor you mentioned and attack them together?”
“I left contact information with the accommodation in advance. But I think he was away all day because he had work to do. Still, he’ll probably come on time if the conversation with Marcelo doesn’t go well.”
“So… So, from now on, we have to go to Marcelo’s base to talk?”
“If you miss the timing, they will attack you first. And you should try everything you can before asking someone for help. “That’s how I learned it.”
“at all! I’m sure that wasn’t the teaching? “Because Dawn sometimes thinks what she wants!”
“If you hand over the work to someone else without even putting in the effort, it will be useless. Moreover, such a big thing.”
“….”
“If you think it’s dangerous, you can run away. “Marcelo’s level is beyond me, let alone Marie.”
“… It’s not just about scores. Marcelo has a reputation for being vicious. “That’s conceit.”
“Yes, it could be arrogance. But the way I became strong was always like this. “I only know how to attack head-on.”
“Ugh… this frustration… can I hit Dawn on the head?”
“no.”
One person said with a smile.
“But it’s rare to have such a strong ally. “In times like these, it would be a good experience to go out stronger.”
“The will is also novel… It’s crazy, really.”
This reckless side of Han Yeo-myeong developed after he headed west. In order to survive there, they lived as if they were overcome by evil, and the result was the person they are today.
He and Marie entered the mansion.
From the moment we entered the mansion, the expressions on one’s face hardened.
It was not as if he was stiff from nervousness, but as if he was preparing for a possible battle.
“Marcelo is waiting, ghost prosecutor.”
“It means you are willing to talk.”
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
The door to Marcelo’s room had a unique structure that had to be pulled from both sides to open. Even from these little tastes, we could see that Marcelo liked to show off and show off.
When a few people entered the room, they saw Marcelo sitting on a chair.
The next thing I saw was the subordinates standing to the left and right.
“I came to talk to Marcel.”
“conversation? It’s good. “If it means having a conversation with you, who killed half of our kids and turned half of them into assholes, then I’m willing to take the time.”
“I only need to receive what was promised. “That was the first promise.”
“Oh yeah… about that.”
Marcelo took out a small box from his pocket.
Click…
Huuuu… When
the box was opened, the black bead inside was emitting a strange light.
“But isn’t it a bit unfair? If it had been resolved through dialogue earlier, my subordinates would not have died. “Do you have any feelings of guilt?”
“Not at all.”
“Tsk tsk… That’s cruel. “But things have changed, ghost prosecutor.”
“what?”
“Work for me. Then, I will absolve you of the crime of killing your subordinates.”
“refuse.”
“Think about it carefully. Are you saying that we are fools for not sticking together? A world of trouble like Pandea will eventually fall into our hands. Those who are accustomed to using force. “Do you think you can stop them all by yourself?”
One person spoke emphatically.
“Even if it’s not me, there are people who can do that.”
“what?”
“I’m tired. What is your answer?”
“If you reject my offer, I have no choice here either.”
Sreuk…
At some point, three people who looked exactly alike were standing in the room.
It was possible to guess how it appeared, but it was surprisingly good at killing its presence.
“… damn it.”
About one person laughed bitterly.
“Did you call the triplets?”
The one on the left of the triplets said.
“Is it morning? “Do you want dinner?”
“Lunch is served.”
“Then morning is the woman’s side.”
“I’ll take a look for dinner then.”
“I get it. “The money is divided equally.”
Those who are called breakfast, lunch and dinner respectively. They were also called money demons.
Lunch said.
“Suppress the women and, if possible, subdue the men as well. “This is the request.”
Marie’s expression hardened.
“Let’s run away at dawn!”
About one person shook their heads.
There was one thing that only the two of them knew, and they believed it.
Marie could not understand the judgment of one person at all.
However, if there was a difference of opinion now, the only option was death, so I followed his judgment.
Lunch said softly after seeing one person.
“Hmm… strong. 15 minutes subdued.”
“It’s long! Help me?”
“no.”
Since he insisted on dealing with at least one person for lunch alone, dinner asked breakfast this time.
“you?”
“This is 3 minutes. Overpower.”
“It’ll be soon.”
At that moment, Lunch closed his eyes and exhaled.
[Lunch uses a time appointment.]
[The appointment time is 15 minutes.]
[All stats increase by 20% as long as you are not late for the scheduled appointment time.]
[Allies other than the person involved cannot intervene in the time appointment.]
[I get scolded if I’m late for an appointment.]
The same goes for breakfast.
[This time appointment is used in the morning.]
[The appointment time is 3 minutes.]
[All stats increase by 50% as long as you are not late for the scheduled appointment time.]
[Allies other than the person involved cannot intervene in the time appointment.]
[If you are late for an appointment, you will be scolded.]
“Start.”
Pot-!
Pot-!
A battle that started suddenly.
Han Yeo-myeong and Marie walked away from each other.
The triplets were also infamous for their combined skills.
The morning team that dealt with Mari used two daggers, and the lunch team that dealt with one or more people used a long long sword.
These were assassins raised by goats.
All three of them, who grew in strength by only assassinating key figures, were monsters among monsters, with an adventure score of around 7 million points.
Whilick-!
Kaaaaang!
A heavy blow fell on the blade of one person.
Gigigigigigeek…
“… That’s fast.”
Han Yeo’s speed was considered the best among prosecutors of the same class. Assuming that the ghost’s right arm is doing its job.
“under!”
One person switched to the offensive.
Pot-!
Whi-profit-!
Kang! Kagang! Kang!
It sounded like it was a single swing, but from what I could see, it was three slashes in succession.
“It’s strong… I think 15 minutes will be enough.”
Taaaaaang!
A lunch full of energy.
Pulp…
Lunch, who bent his neck from side to side, looked at one person and said.
“Try to block this too.”
[Lunch uses time lag.]
[The impact of the attack occurs late for a short period of time.]
Whirik-!
The lunch blade was bent at a strange angle and was aimed at the legs of about one person.
Yeo-myeong Han quickly struck down the opponent’s sword.
At that moment, a strange sensation came to me.
widely-!
The feeling is too dull for the feeling of swords clashing with swords.
‘Dangerous!’
About one person prepared for the ensuing slash.
Whoa!
As expected, I did not miss the opportunity for lunch.
widely! Crack! Kang!
Crack!
The shock came late, and along with it, another shock of time difference piled up, so one person was instantly put on the defensive.
Lunch said, swinging a slash.
“It could end quickly…”
But even one person was not easy.
His eyes turned black and thrusts came out at incredible speed.
[About 1 person uses Season: Wind Hole.]
[The damage of the stab increases in proportion to the striking speed.]
[Constitution: Black hands assist the striking.]
“Huh!”
Lunch was shocked and blocked the stab with his sword.
Kagang!
Kaaaang!
Kwajik…
Pushuuuk … Puhwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
who who what… ‘KwaJik]]]
“Uuuuuuuu….”
“… Tsk.”
Unfortunately for one person, Lunch did not die in this attack.
He stepped away from Han Yeo-yeo and replaced the broken sword with another sword.
“It was dangerous… It was a misjudgment. “15 minutes is not enough.”
Lunch that quickly stopped the bleeding in my punctured shoulder.
[Lunch time extension is used.]
[Appointment time is extended by 30 minutes.]
[All ability increase is fixed at 10%.]
[Remaining time is no longer increased.]
At first glance, it seems that one person has the advantage. Maybe, but that wasn’t the case.
“Gotcha.”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
the the a… the morning…
Marie was defeated by the morning.
The blood on the dagger that Morning was holding was probably her blood.
“number of animals!”
“Don’t move rashly, ghost. If we don’t want to lose her, we…”
If things continue like this, it is obvious that Han Yeo-myeong’s side will lose.
But fortunately, salvation arrived in time.
Puhwaaaaak-!
The head of the subordinate who was trying to capture Marie was blown off.
No one saw the scene and only turned their head when they heard a sound.
Marie was lifted by the fairy knight and hung like laundry on her shoulder.
In the morning, rather than being angry about losing all the game I had caught, I was curious about the identity of this fairy knight who had suddenly fallen from nowhere.
“What?”
Instead of Karen, who was smiling brightly, the answer came from a man who hurriedly walked into the room.
“Oh, by any chance… should I take off my shoes and go in?”
The uninvited guest who appeared at Marcelo’s home base was snowfall.
Karen said.
“Is this woman breathing? It didn’t die. Are these guys villains? “He’s so kind… did he find my house in the wrong place?”
“okay? Well then, I’m glad. Are you okay, Han Yeo-myeong?”
In the morning, I adjusted my posture.
I was embarrassed because I couldn’t feel any energy from the man, but he also had the ability to prepare for times like this.
“Marcelo!”
“Hmm…”
“I guess I should get extra pay, right?”
“… of course.”
Morning said while looking at the snowfall.
“I’ll kill you in 10 seconds.”
“me?”
As soon as he answered, Morning activated his ability.
[Morning season: Use the magic lantern.]
[Appointment time is fixed to 10 seconds.]
[As long as you are not late for the scheduled appointment time, all stats increase by 50%.]
[For the duration, you will have the sensation of time passing slowly. You lose.]
[Allies other than the person involved cannot intervene in the time commitment.]
[You will not be scolded if you are late for the appointment.]
Ugh….
The new form of the morning disappeared from the sight of others.
No, to be more precise, the morning moved at such a fast pace that other people’s eyes could not keep up with the movement.
Morning felt omnipotent for at least 10 seconds after activating this ability.
Feeling like you can kill anything.
In fact, how many strong people died due to this ability of his.
‘Slow!’
The black energy released from Kangseol’s hand and forming the shape of a knight was very fast, and the knight’s movement of pulling the sword from the scabbard was even faster.
But it was slower than the morning movement.
At least he thought so.
‘Summoned beast? doesn’t care. Cut first….’
Sting!
For a moment, a cool sensation passed through my right arm.
Even at that moment, the morning did not forget its duty.
If you look at the area where you feel pain, you will be attacked by the enemy. So keep your eyes on the other person.
‘I lost my right arm! When…’
Time still passes slowly.
Morning clenched his teeth.
‘I’ll give you at least eight. ‘You’ve suffered a loss.’
The one remaining arm swung, aiming for the opponent’s neck.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Time seemed to pass slowly.
No, it wasn’t.
‘Why do I… feel so… slow? And what is that black energy?’
The dark, sticky energy emanating from the knight seemed to be causing him to struggle in a dream.
Slurp…
And when that black energy slowly surged and enveloped his entire body, he realized.
‘It’s not like I was slow… I was… slow.’
My vision spun around.
Rather than saying that the body rotated, it would be better to judge that the head rotated while floating in the air.
‘I… am dead.’
Puhwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Morning’s limbs were flying in all directions, as if they had been taken out of a cutting machine.
[enlightenment! Karuna awakens a new ability.]
[Karuna continues: Awakens black waves.]
“….”
“What… what on earth….” Before he
could keep what he said for less than 10 seconds, his limbs fell apart. The morning of decomposition and death.
Marcelo and the triplets… No, now they were just twins. Lunch and dinner looked at Snow Seol, who had created an amazing situation.
Kang Seol looked down at everyone and said.
“Who is Marcelo here?”
