Once you get involved in cri, you can't escape from that chain of vice.
If soone tries to escape the muck, others will grab their legs and prevent them from getting out.
It was the sa this ti too.
Rae's direct subordinates and Oliver were put up in an entire inn they rented in the lower street.
anwhile, Obern and I left the inn separately.
Obern's footsteps were as light as if he might fly away.
In fact, he was walking with rhythm as if dancing.
It was a frivolous attitude that didn't match his handso appearance.
'Are you that happy?'
"Happy doesn't even begin to describe it."
We were heading to the Imperial Palace.
His Imperial Majesty the Emperor had commanded us to find and report Oban VanKloss's whereabouts.
Since he didn't tell us to catch him ourselves, it would be right to go and report his location first.
If we really catch Oban VanKloss, we'll receive artifacts as rewards and Obern will be on the rise.
I also need to catch him quickly to get my things back.
The ancient bombs.
I'm not sure where I could use them, but they were definitely valuable items.
The lower street was naturally outside the inner city of the imperial capital.
In other words, to head to the imperial palace, we needed to enter the inner city.
We headed to the inner city gate.
Many people want to enter the inner city. There was a long line stretching far from the gate.
While standing in line.
I pondered deeply.
'Will they really give us a reward just for telling them the location?'
Such thoughts suddenly occurred to .
Obern's expression turned sour.
'Why do you say such frightening things?'
'No, it's just that things seem to be going too smoothly.'
Snake Sense, Snake-Snake Tingling seems to be activating.
Thump.
Hmm, or is it survival instinct?
Looking around, there doesn't seem to be any problem?
That's when.
From behind, a carriage was cutting in line and rushing forward.
On the driver's seat was clearly soone with the appearance of a dicine water addict.
What's this?
"Aaah-"
"Mo-move!"
The people standing in line hurriedly cleared the way.
We also moved aside.
And suddenly, the dicine water addict standing on the carriage shouted loudly.
"O-Oban VanKloss has returned!"
...What did he say?
Suddenly wondering what this was about, we listened as he shouted as if soone had ordered him to.
"O-Oban VanKloss will punish the corrupt imperial capital!"
Pelerian burst out.
"Look at that!"
He wasn't pointing at the rambling dicine water addict.
That thing attached to the back of the carriage that passed .
'...An adhesive bomb?'
Why would sothing that was just auctioned off last night be attached there?
Damn it.
I didn't expect it to be this fast.
"Run away!"

Obern quickly shouted.
The carriage didn't stop and charged toward the gate.
The soldiers quickly blocked it with barriers to stop the carriage but.
Flash, flash.
That bomb flickered and blinked.
Whoosh-
It exploded with a flash.
The carriage and the dicine water addict.
The barriers and the guards protecting the gate.
Everything close to the bomb was swallowed by the flash.
Things around it were blown away by the explosion.
BOOM!
Obern deployed his shield just in ti.
Being at a distance, and having several people in front of us, was probably what saved our lives.
People near the flash were torn to pieces.
Soone's limbs bounced off the shield and flew away.
Those slightly further away were half dead and half blown away.
Though we blocked the explosion's shockwave with the shield. We couldn't quite block the intense wind that followed.
I rolled back once together with Obern.
Quickly jumping out to see the situation.
"Ssaak..."
Oh my.
At least dozens died.
And the gate doors just flew away.
Rumble-
The checkpoint building set up next to the gate finally raised dust and collapsed.
Did Oban VanKloss coincidentally commit terrorism here as we were passing by?
No.
Bang- Boom- Bang-
Similar things seed to be happening all over the imperial capital.
This is absolutely unforgivable.
The terrorist is using my bombs as he pleases to kill people.
The flower of killing intent blooms in my heart.
Ssaak.
==
Two inner city gates.
One outer city gate.
One outer city district office.
The outer city imperial guard headquarters.
Terror attacks occurred at a total of five locations.
The thod was similar.
dicine water addicts approached with bombs and exploded.
And they all shouted "Oban VanKloss has returned."
Naturally, the empire was turned upside down.
The infamous terrorist had returned and attacked the empire.
And while declaring his own na at that.
This was no different from directly challenging the Emperor.
Of course, the Emperor issued a stern imperial decree.
To root out the evil insurgent forces.
However, the timing might have been a bit bad for us.
'Were we a bit late?'
That's what I thought.
Obern said "When you think you're late is when you're earliest!" and ran to the imperial palace.
And surprisingly, he was able to get an audience with the Emperor.
However, the Emperor didn't smile and say "Oh good work. Here's your reward."
The terror attacks had already happened.
Obern said that looking at the Emperor's eyes, he thought he would surely be executed.
That didn't happen.
He just received one new order.
'Find Oban VanKloss yourself. Report then.'
And he received military flares used by the imperial army.
The ssage was to imdiately find a manhole or ventilation shaft leading to the surface and fire the flare when we really find Oban VanKloss.
He probably couldn't refuse there.
I looked at the flare Obern brought back and asked.
'What happens when you fire this flare?'
"The Sword Saint, the Sword Saint will co running."
It's like a Sword Saint summoning magic.
'So it's like an ultimate skill then.'
"Ulti-what?"
This is perfect.
I was already feeling the desire to catch Oban VanKloss myself welling up.
'Anyway, let's go.'
Obern, Oliver, and .
Deep in the sewers, southwest of Nahagu. The Heaven dicine Party's dicine water manufacturing facility.
Heading there were just the three of us modestly.
Lilah was caught by Kadam for going out without permission.
While also retrieving the remaining bombs.
Shall we go catch the terrorist?
