Chapter 984: 984
Murray, Ultina, Violet, Ark, Haken, Rotemon, and Glaucian—this was a list of seven kingdoms that had lost a accessory maker craftsman to the mad killer . Since a production class craftsman was very precious, the loss to the seven kingdoms was very large .
The seven kingdoms had to punish the killer, and the people hoped for it too . Respected craftsmen had been killed . If the royal family didn’t take responsibility for it, the trust of the people would be lost and prestige would fall .
“I finally caught you . Dirty and disgusting bastard . ”
The hunters from the seven kingdoms flocked into the room . Some were members of the royal knights, some were reputable mercenaries, and some were unknown names . The 15 positions and personalities were all different, but they had one thing in common . They all had outstanding talents . In particular, the skills of the mercenaries Phildea and Johneman were amazing . They were named NPCs whose names shone brilliantly . It was difficult for Agnus to deal with both of them at the same time under normal circumstances, much less now that he was cursed and weakened .
“Look, Agnus . Stop the unnecessary resistance and come with me . ”
Naturally, there were players among the hunters . One of them was Bubat . The role of the initiator was optimized, and he had given great pressure to Agnus during the chase throughout the past few months . If he hadn’t left for a while due to the National Competition, Agnus would’ve already been caught and taken to the guillotine .
“There is a net of thousands of people around the inn . Even if you escape this place by luck, you will be caught soon . Don’t make a fuss and go easily . ”
The hunters received great support from the seven kingdoms . There were hundreds of troops operating secretly, and it wasn’t a bluff to say there were 1,000 people around the inn . However, Agnus wasn’t the least bit frightened . “Why do you talk nonsense every day?”
An awful madness seeped into him . Agnus looked at the enemies surrounding him and recalled his helpless past . It was a time when he had suffered one-sidedly and experienced all types of pain just because he had no power . . . At the time, he had succumbed to violence but not now . No matter how many times he was frustrated or how much he lost, he couldn’t give in . He would rather fall behind . This was Agnus’ conviction .
“Wait . ” Bubat hurried to Agnus who was pulling out his sword without hesitation . “How many times have you been through this already? If you die here after fighting, you won’t get your name off the wanted list . We will continue to track you until we place you in the guillotine . You will die every time and suffer damages . ”
Agnus had to be punished by law in order to escape being a criminal . Before he was sentenced to death by the guillotine, the curses on him wouldn’t be resolved no matter how many times he died . It was better to go to the guillotine than to live as a wanted criminal until he was forced to quit the game . Of course, the penalty for being killed by the guillotine was greater than that of a normal death . . . It was neater to be punished by law rather than to be constantly chased and killed .
“This is the heart of the Overgeared Kingdom . We will be caught by Grid if we make a fuss here . Won’t you be tired as well?”
“I don’t really care . Kikik, do you think I’m afraid of Grid?”
“ . . . ”
Bubat didn’t answer . Agnus stopped for a moment . Grid—a person who had a similar past to Agnus—was a pushover who fought for others despite suffering in a world filled with only perpetrators and bystanders . Had he forgotten his misfortunes and suffering?
Agnus hated Grid . He felt disgusted with Grid’s actions and thoughts . Thus, he naturally hated those who mentioned his name . It was enough to kill this person!
“Dyulebul!”
The demon popped out at Agnus’ insane cry . It was a demon with a lizard head on a human body . The demon’s grotesque appearance stimulated primordial terror . Bubat was well aware of how powerful this ray of light was and cursed, “Dammit!”
A ray of light that dealt 20,000 fixed damage was fired from Dyulebul’s mouth . The problem was that an additional 8,000 explosive damage occurred at the point where the rays hit . The small building couldn’t handle the explosion . The wall of the inn was blown away from the explosion . The roof was torn down, and the sky was revealed . There were screams from people who were shocked by the sudden commotion .
“ . . . Using any means!” Bubat gritted his teeth . The Overgeared soldiers would soon come to inquire about what happened, then Grid would find out . Bubat was terribly afraid of him . What happened to the Immortal group that caused a turmoil by invading the smithies of the Overgeared Kingdom? They were ruined . The Immortal group had once been considered as one of the strongest guilds, only to be shattered and scattered like ashes .
‘My personal quest can’t damage the Yak Guild!’ Bubat’s judgment was quick . He took advantage of the turmoil and withdrew . It was the same for the other hunters who were players . For them, Grid was a target to be challenged, not an opponent to be hostile to .
On the other hand, the NPC hunters were different . They were fully aware of Grid’s power but didn’t fear or admire him . It was natural . They were NPCs, not players . Thus, they couldn’t feel Grid’s great existence . The current position of the Overgeared Kingdom was also risky .
“Haap!”
Dyulebul attacked in five second intervals . The fire of his spinning tail was maintained at all times, but the damage was so small that it didn’t threaten the hunters . The hunters pulled out their weapons in unison and rushed at Agnus while ignoring Dyulebul . Agnus responded by summoning his death knights and liches .
The hunters’ pincer attacks subdued the death knight . Meanwhile, Lich Mumud failed to shoot his powerful spells . It was due to the location . This inn was in the middle of the marketplace . He hesitated because the civilians could be swept away by the spells . This was obviously an act of rebellion against Agnus’ orders . Still, it couldn’t be helped . Agnus was weakened from all types of curses and couldn’t exercise perfect control over Mumud . It was impossible for him to control the strong will of Mumud, a super named existence who he had only obtained because he was Baal’s Contractor .
After a few strikes, Agnus was driven to be on the defensive and quickly suppressed . The hunters restrained their limbs and pointed their swords against his neck while clicking their tongues . “The filthy murderer is going to suffer . ”
After a few months, the chase was finally over . The hunters stared at Agnus with hate-filled eyes and tied him up with rope .
“What’s the fuss about in our kingdom?” A blonde girl asked as she burst into the scene . She saw the hunters’ bewildered expressions and introduced herself, “I am Earl Euphemina of the Overgeared Kingdom . I have to ask you to take responsibility for using force freely in a kingdom that’s not your own, placing the people at risk . ”
The hunters immediately introduced themselves and bowed . Then they explained, “This is a heinous criminal who escaped after murdering people in our seven kingdoms . The situation was urgent because we were trying not to avoid missing him, so we weren’t able to obtain your consent in advance . We sincerely apologize and will repay any damage your land has suffered today . ”
A heinous criminal who committed murder in seven kingdoms . . .
Usually, the disturbance that occurred in the process of arresting him should be taken into account by the kingdom . However, Euphemina didn’t want to do this .
“Are you certain he is the murderer?”
“That’s right . ”
“What is the evidence?”
“He was seen at every murder scene . ”
“Is that sufficient? What if he was framed?”
