Episode 2 of the Overly Competent Villain

Kachitori(2)

inside the safe house. There, Zach, who was waiting for Hauser and Kachitori, was drinking beer that was stored in the house.

“Pietro…!”

Swords drawn simultaneously. The essence of modern magic engineering technology, which is said to split rocks even if ordinary people hear it, is aimed at the subject, but Zach does not even move.

“I want you to listen to the story and judge me?”

“You’ve overdone yourself. I could blow your throat like this.”

“Whoops.”

A light and refreshing laugh flowed from Zach like a spring breeze. Playful but not frivolous, unguarded laughter.

It must have been Zach who had the knife thrust into his neck, but it was rather Kachitori who was losing momentum. As much as that, I feel absolute confidence in myself in his attitude.

“That’s enough empty talk. Your boss… To be precise, the person higher than you wants something from me. It was reckless to try to catch me with the bullies in the neighborhood, but now I’m persistent, as if the sunk cost was a waste.”

“·······.”

It was true. Hauser’s mission is to prevent the Triad Circle’s diminishing influence, but he has other priorities than that.

“Territory disputes between gangs are a trivial matter. The important thing is that Jacques Pietro has it.”

Even the Triad Circle, which was useful in controlling the South, was only second-ranked. What really comes first is…

“I’m curious. After all this, what do you want from me? What are you looking for?”

For an instant, Hauser’s eyebrows twitched. Zach did not miss that minute gap.

“Yes, what are you looking for in me?”

“······!!”

Hauser’s drawn sword shakes. Without even talking, Zach deduced Hauser’s purpose.

‘Someone like a ghost.’

He’s a little guy who can’t be careless.

A criminal who single-handedly destroyed the Triad Circle, built up his power, and lost the sphere of influence that the association had achieved in the south.

He is resourceful and quick-witted. If you deal with it for a long time, this is the one that gets involved.

“Shut up. I’ll let you know the details in the basement.”

“There seems to be some misunderstanding, but the reason I waited for you was to hear directly from the judge of the ‘Order,’ not from the neighborhood gangsters who might be chasing me for some reason.”

“”······!!””

Do you even know about the existence of an association? Hauser was stunned by Zach’s intelligence, even knowing his identity.

“I’ve had my doubts for a while, but now I’m convinced.”

Jack put a hat on his head. As if trying to get out of here.

“Do you think you can get away? In front of these numbers?”

“Of course we can escape. Compared to the Imperial Knights, a tier 2 unit like you is nothing.”

bluff.

Surrounded by these people, there is no way they can escape. No matter what preparations he made, it was much faster for his sword to cut him than for him to call his allies.

In the first place, what would a guy who is neither a sword user nor a wizard do in this situation—

“Be quiet. Otherwise…”

“Slash? No. Your superior has something to look for in me. He won’t be able to kill me until I vomit it.”

He got up from the couch and leaned his right arm against the wall despite the array of swords pointed at him.

“But if I were you guys, I would have decapitated you without hesitation.”

-Pajijik!

That was the moment. The wall that Zach touched… The palm that touched the light switch sparked and popped! A power outage occurred with a sound.

“what···!”

“Damn it, get it!”

Hauser nervously ordered, but the kachitori could not recklessly swing their swords.

It was because the lights went off all at once, making it impossible to see an inch in front of them, and they were able to swing their swords at their allies.

You can’t miss him like this. Hauser ordered.

“Everyone! Put down your sword and wait!”

In that moment, Chuck! And the kachitori put down their swords. At the same time, silence comes to the room. Hauser spread his spirit in the quiet interior.

Fine vibrations and sounds are all tracked with the keen senses of a veteran knight. And what that sense found——

‘Entrance!’

draw the sword and run In fact, when the door opened, I felt a sign that something was about to escape.

“die!”

It was the moment when Hauser’s sword broke through the darkness.

– Kang!

Another sword to block it. Hauser’s eyes widened.

“You bastard…!”

“Didn’t I say it was dangerous?”

“Yeah, but I had to know. ‘Before I Kill’.”

It was Elysia who blocked Hauser’s sword. She pulled Zach behind her and confronted Hauser.

“It’s an article from the Bureau of Investigation that says you ate with a criminal.”

“It’s slander.”

Displeased Elysia. But Zach grinned as he grabbed Elish by the shoulders.

“Yes, my relationship with Ellie is deeper and stronger than that. This friend will blow you away.”

“Oh, where are you touching!”

Elysia was taken aback by the unreserved skinship, but Zach pulled her towards him little by little. Elysia realized that it was a signal to retreat.

“Captain!”

The kachitori follow Hauser into the long hallway. Elysia confronted them and slipped behind her, and when the tension reached its peak——

– Please lie down.

At that moment, gunfire rang out from beyond Elysia and Zach.

-Quaaagh!

A ferocious gunfire cutting through the air. Hauser tried to deflect it with his sword, but found it difficult to wield the longsword in the cramped hallway and bowed his head.

“Keah!”

Alas… Hauser realized his mistake. While he was avoiding the sniping, the subordinates behind him could not escape and were penetrated.

“sniping!”

Two Kachitori members died in vain. But that wasn’t the end.

────!!

A huge searchlight illuminates the house. 30,000 lumens of high power lights hit Kachitori.

“Kuh…!”

“Snow···!”

The light pouring into the room, which had been dark due to the blackout just before, was enough to blind Kachitori.

“No matter how much a knight is a human-sized tank, it’s still a creature.”

Zach snapped his fingers. It was a signal.

“Clap!”

────────■■■■■■■■!!!!

Bullets started pouring in from all directions.

Truly a storm. lead storm. Beyond the rifles, a shower of lead bullets splattered from machine guns.

“Get down!”

The kachitori bow down to Hauser’s command. They clenched their teeth at the barrage of bullets hacking through the building while covering themselves with bulletproof coats.

“Damn them! With our weapons…!”

A machine gun is not something that can be easily obtained unless it is for military use. The machine gun they secured was probably captured during the raid on the Minor Organization Alliance.

“Cover yourself in a coat and hold on! You won’t have enough ammo!”

If the defense of the bulletproof coat is enough, it can prevent the lead bullets of the machine gun. The problem is–

-bang!

“Keah!”

A sniper thrusting down. The cannonball-level physical energy fired by Hector’s twin-barreled shock cannon pierced the kachitori’s bulletproof coats without fail.

“Very, Captain!”

“I shot it as a rule of thumb! Hide yourself properly near cover!”

The twin shells that destroy even the essence war golems of modern magic engineering cannot be stopped unless it is a protective coat for knights coated with anti-magic and anti-cannon fire protection magic.

Most of the kachitori are bulletproof coats that are a few steps lower than the protective coats with lower functions and adjusted unit prices. A level that blocks ‘shells’ is not possible.

‘The shooting stopped.’

The seemingly endless storm of lead bullets stopped after tearing the house apart. The kachitori draw their swords while still hiding in cover.

“How much is left?”

“Rondahl, Pagani and Mora have been killed.”

“Marsilino and Lorenzo are also incapacitated.”

five suffered There are only about 10 Kachitori left. But it’s still within the acceptable range.

“Induce them into indoor combat. It doesn’t matter how many of them there are. There’s no way they’ll catch us in indoor combat.”

Judging from the reckless shooting of machine guns and rifles, it is clear that a large number of small gang members were mobilized to set a trap.

What you need to be careful of is the direct unit of Jacques Pietro, who destroyed Elysia and Kachitori who blocked her sword just before.

There are only four knights including himself. This is enough power to deal with even a heavily armed infantry company. Any difference in numbers can be overcome.

“It’s quiet.”

“No, someone’s approaching. Get ready for battle. Ronald, look outside.”

The knight-level squad leader believed in the performance of the protective coat and inspected the outside of the hole-filled house. Soon, his pupils widened.

“Crazy…! They’re planting dynamite!”

“Damn it! Everyone get inside!”

At Hauser’s command, the Khachitori evacuated quickly. It took a while for the dynamite installed on all sides of the building to catch fire.

-Quaaang!

A huge explosion soared as if it was about to blow up the entire building.

* * * *

The result of exploding more than 50 kg of dynamite was amazing.

A thermal storm rages, and the pressure of the explosion rises. It had enough firepower to blow up a two-story house.

[Awesome.]

Osman, who was watching the scene, admired. But from my point of view, it’s just ridiculous.

‘With your skills, it would be possible with just one gesture, right?’

[Not to that extent. Well, the fact that it has that much firepower without magic is amazing.]

50 kg of industrial dynamite was poured. Even with that amount of explosives, only one magic of the Archmage could not be achieved, so I realized how unbalanced the power balance of this world was.

“Ha ha ha ha! Good looks, Triad Circle bastards!”

“This should be enough!”

The small organization gang members who were brought in to guess the numbers were delighted. However, the real power, the Heini Squad, including Elysia, don’t soften their expression by wearing a capped imperial sword and coat.

It was because he was convinced that there was no way that a ‘knight’ would die. Indeed… there were shadows slowly rising from the collapsed houses.

“Damn it, Jacques Pietro.”

Beginning with Hauser covered in dust from the explosion, the Kachitori squad leaders… the members slowly rise.

“crazy······.”

“The f*ck does that live?”

Watching the scene, the gang members are stunned. It was quite an explosion. Even though it was installed on the outer wall of the building, 50 kg of dynamite was exploded, and it is still alive?

It must be an unbelievable sight for local bullies who never see real professional swordsmen. But I was different.

‘It’s cut in half. It’s worth doing.’

There were four knights, including Hauser. It’s just starting to balance out.

– Taang!

One of the gang members pulled the trigger. It was a conditioned reflex that felt fear from the kachitori crawling out like zombies.

“Kachitori, engage.”

With Hauser’s gruff voice, the swordsmen spread out in all directions. Unluckily, the gang members who were careless in the lead began to be cut to pieces.

“Shoot! Shoot!”

As the kachitori approached, they picked up rocks and threw them at the searchlights.

The stones thrown with the brute force of a sword user broke the searchlight without fail, and thanks to that, the gap was created as it became darker.

For veteran swordsmen, that moment is big.

“aaagh!”

“Eh, that’s ridiculous——!?”

Gunmen of gangs who slaughter mercilessly. They pulled the extension trigger, but they were slaughtered without being able to penetrate the bulletproof coats of the squad members as well as the squad leaders’ protective coats.

“As expected, equipped swordsmen are annoying.”

Leaving aside the imperial sword, the survival rate of swordsmen dramatically increases even if only the bulletproof coat, which is a degraded version of the protective coat, is worn.

Unlike sword users who had to blow their heads off somehow, the combat power of the veteran knights equipped with equipment was beyond imagination.

“As expected, there are only knights against knights.”

I ordered Elysia and Heini Squad, who were standing there as if to escort me.

“Ellie, Louisa. Mark the knights.”

“…If that happens, I won’t be able to escort you.”

“If they all die, I die anyway. Karl Hauser is a veteran of veterans. Be careful.”

As soon as my order was given, Elysia and Heini’s squad rushed at the Kachitori squad leaders, even making handprints.

Even if knights are treated as knights, the problem is…

[This is one-sided. Even if there are more than 100 people, at this rate, it will collapse in less than a minute.]

‘It can’t be helped.’

I didn’t expect to be able to finish it perfectly even after preparing this trap. I drew a .45-caliber revolver from my chest and quietly backed away.

Until the eyes looking at me completely disappear.

“uh?”

“Why, why?”

“No, was Pietro here just now?”

Leaving behind the gang members looking for me, I walked leisurely toward the members of the Kathitori squad.
