Episode 2 of the Overly Competent Villain

Kachitori(3)

Around the collapsed safe house, the road to hell was unfolding.

“Keah!”

“My, my hand! My hand!!”

The armed forces of the gang members were faithful. They took and supplemented the weapons of the triad circle that attacked them, and were armed with pistols, rifles, shotguns and machine guns.

However, the stronghold of the former special forces was not something ordinary gang members could endure.

“aaagh!”

He tries to fire bullets by turning the lever of the few remaining machine guns, but when Kachitori’s magic sword flashes, the gunner is cut off by the truck on which the machine gun is mounted.

The sight of a heavy vehicle and a whole person being cut in half was terrifying to the general public.

An imperial military magic sword that boasts extreme cutting power by absorbing mana. There’s even a bulletproof coat that easily blocks bullets.

The highest level of military supplies and items of low rank, which were given to knights, boasted disastrous performance to ordinary people.

“Damn! Damn! Why aren’t you dying!!”

Although he tried to pull the trigger, the member of the Kathitori squad, who was wrapped in a coat, raised his sword to the gang member who continued to resist meaninglessly.

“Bungee trash.”

The members of the Kathitori Squad, who were in high spirits, tried to release the spirits of their comrades with the blood of the gang. The moment you are about to punish the gangster who senselessly pulled the trigger.

– clap

“uh?”

A cold metal thrust into his temple as he uncovered the hood covering his head. It was too late when I realized it was the muzzle of a pistol.

-bang!

Even a veteran sword user could not block a zero-range shot without a coat.

“Pietro!!”

Seeing his colleague’s body disintegrate, Kachitori’s crew rushed at Zach, who appeared like a ghost.

‘I killed a colleague in a surprise attack, but he’s a normal person! Just approach!’

He is a member of the squad approaching while blocking Zach’s pistol bullets. When he got close enough, Zach drew an army dagger. It is a captured imperial sword.

“under···!”

To say that you’ve got a sword on the subject of an ordinary person is laughing Member Kachitori intended to use force to break him down and cut him into pieces.

The power difference between sword users and ordinary people is obvious. The moment he swung his sword, Zach also blocked it with his knife.

– Kang!

Contrary to Kachitori’s thoughts, Zach not only blocked his sword, but also engaged in a power battle.

“What…?!”

How do ordinary people hold up to their power?

While panicked, Zach quickly swung his dagger. The speedy dagger technique threatened him with pressure.

‘Imperial army close-up martial arts?!’

seasoned faster than anything The basis of swordsmanship is a type of military martial arts of the Imperial Army, but it was a movement that would not be thought of by an ordinary person.

-grasp!

In the midst of panic, the shoulder grazed by the dagger felt hot as if it were burning. A gun pointed straight at him, who retreated three steps.

– Tata Tang!

Bullets fired in succession are blocked with a bulletproof coat. He must have run out of bullets just now, but he couldn’t recklessly attack.

‘Sword user class…! It’s completely different from data!’

It is an unknown fact that Jacques Pietro is a sword user level superhuman.

Of course it has to be. He has acquired some of his physical abilities by receiving the protection of Elysia and the Sword Saint with the soul magic ＜Blessing of the Stars＞.

To those who do not know the existence of such soul magic, it seems that Zach has been hiding his power until now.

“It’s quite good. I thought it was a normal person.”

“I am also from the Imperial Army.”

“Hmph! About deserters!”

He sharpened his sword and took a charging stance. In line with this, Zach also raises his dagger and takes a charge stance.

The posture of both sides is the same as the charge posture of imperial swordsmanship. But there is a crucial difference.

‘You idiot! What would you do with a dagger!’

The difference between a long sword and a short sword. The difference in richness is absolute even in the confrontation of superhumans. If we were to make a direct charge, this would be the first one to hit.

“Die, Pietro!”

Two people spurring toward each other almost at the same time. Kathitori’s squad members stabbed their swords, confident in their victory.

‘It’s over, idiot!’

It was the moment when he was sure of victory. Caang! And the tip of the sword is blocked by something.

“······shield?”

A magical shield that acts as a physical barrier. The tip of the sword shakes at the unexpected presence of shield magic.

“The number of trumps is the law to keep hidden.”

“This bastard——?!”

Fu-wook!

and a dagger that pierces the heart. Member Kachitori’s arms trembled.

“Nonsense… it’s impossible… It was a wizard?”

No, that doesn’t explain it. He’s a mage, but he has the physical abilities of a sword user? Isn’t it strange?

But there was no way to find an answer to that contradiction.

Zach gasped as he collapsed, bleeding profusely.

“Whoa~ I think the limit for a proper sword user level is to deal with two… no, up to three.”

[If you use magic bullets?]

“Self-destruction isn’t originally included in the calculation. We should see stable results.”

[Still, this is a great improvement. The number of things I can use just increased my physical ability.]

However, if he was a third-rate swordsman from a local gang, he was Zach, who felt burdened by real veteran swordsmen.

In many ways, the magic that the archmage uses instead is acting as a decisive move. The problem is that there is a clear limit to the magic that can be used by the Archmage.

“I need to learn swordsmanship.”

Zach’s eyes were on a female knight.

* * * *

The powerlessness shown by the members of Kachitori’s squad made the gang members realize what a superman is, but what really frightened them was not the ‘power to understand’.

“What is that…”

“Is that a real person?”

A fight between knights and knights. The sword dance created by Karl Hauser and Elysia von Wittenberg was not that realistic.

The momentum and heat of collision are different.

The wind pressure from the clash of swords and swords scatters in all directions.

A storm came pouring in that I couldn’t open my eyes.

Is this what a fight between a knight and a knight is like?

The conflict between tactical weapons that the Empire boasts was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

“Come on, Wittenberg!”

“·······.”

While dealing with Hauser, Elysia felt embarrassed and sympathetic at the same time.

It’s different from when I faced Abdeslam. The opponent is a master of melee swordsmanship. He is a veteran swordsman with a lot of combat experience while working as a soldier.

The confrontation with him gave Elysia a lot of realization.

“You are strong.”

maybe lose But I didn’t want to miss this moment.

This opportunity to train oneself as a knight, to train the swordsmanship of Wittenberg, a master of swordsmanship.

– Kaang!

Among the Imperial Army’s sword fighting techniques, Hauser continues destructive and powerful series of attacks. However, Elysia firmly blocked those sword attacks.

‘strong. No, it’s hard before that.’

To block his own strong sword with such a thin sword. Her swordsmanship is also swordsmanship, but she felt unusual power from the sword.

It feels like knocking on a rock that has been in place for a long time. Rumor has it that it is a treasured sword that has been handed down since the time of the founding father, but I can’t believe it’s not being pushed by a sword with the latest magic engineering technology.

‘No, it’s an excuse. Leaving aside everything else–‘

Papapak!

Elysia’s sword stabbed as if pouring.

It is strong, yet fast like a quick sword, and above all, the irregular sword change is impressive.

‘I thought he would have less experience, but isn’t that true?’

After becoming a knight, Elysia moved from job to job amidst contempt and persecution for a long time.

A person skilled enough to win the Imperial Imperial Swordsmanship Tournament moved from place to place to hunt down criminals.

Proof that someone as talented as her was far from an important position, even serving as an investigator for the Investigation Bureau instead of the Imperial Knights.

But it rather made Elysia grow.

Elysia’s unique chivalry, which silently follows any given command, shines through, allowing her to accumulate a lot of practical experience.

Later, a knight named Elysia is a supernova who breaks through alone against a giant named Jacques Pietro and his empire.

When it comes to sword prowess, even among the expert class, there are those who can surpass her.

“Heh…!”

Despite her panting breath and sweat, Elysia gradually got used to Hauser’s sword.

It was in an instant that her attitude, as straightforward as a rock, suddenly changed. All swordsmanship is converted into an attack and unleashes terrifying quickswords.

“Keuugh…!”

Hauser is in a position to reverse the momentum he was pouring out, and it becomes increasingly difficult to block it.

‘Was it like this! Wittenberg!’

Even though she is the daughter of the sword master, Count Janssen, it’s no wonder that she has this level of skill at such a young age.

If this is the case, you will be crushed. Hauser swung his coat, blocking Elysia’s view.

“······!”

A protective coat for knights, the essence of the Empire’s magic engineering that has compressed anti-magic, anti-bullet and anti-sword functions. The defensive power of this protective coat, which replaces the full plate armor of the past, blocks even the sharp cutting power of the Imperial Demon Sword several times.

Hauser’s goal must be to sacrifice the protective coat and create a momentary gap. If you think about it, it’s right to step back and look for an opportunity.

However, Elysia instantly raised her magical power to the limit. Among the swordsmanships handed down in Wittenberg, famous for swordsmanship, there is a swordsmanship that cuts the enemy’s armor.

Like a sword that cuts through energy, it is a secret sword that descends on Wittenberg.

Wittenberg style ＜Yongrin Charm＞

The strongest cutting technique said to have been cut by the ancestors along with the dragon’s scales. By strengthening the extreme magic power of the sword blade, it devotes all its energy to cutting.

“······!”

Houser, who believed in the protective power of the coat and tried to defend and counterattack at the same time, felt something unknown and terrifying.

But his judgment was not wrong. There was no swordsman who was not even a sword master and could cut a protective coat in one blow.

Although Elysia is the winner of the Imperial Swordsmanship Tournament, she is only a rank knight. It is impossible to cut oneself with the entire coat——

– Kwajik!

Elysia’s sword passed through the coat with a sigh. At the same time, I am speechless as I see my left arm being thrown up into the sky.

Incredible cutting power. But that’s for a while–

“This is…!”

It was at this time that Elysia’s face lit up as she intuited victory. Hauser didn’t stop even at the blown arm and swung the sword as it was.

It’s a waste. At this rate, at the time when Elysia had to intuit a lot of injuries——

“You can’t be careless, Ellie.”

Someone grabbing Hauser by the back of his neck. It was Jacques Pietro.

“you···!”

Where the hell are you? Zach subtly digs into the gap that he didn’t pay attention to while fighting Elysia. In an instant, energy soared like crazy from the rocket he had placed.

– Pajik!

“aaa!!”

The electric current pouring through Zach’s right arm, which held Hauser by the scruff of his neck, ripped through Hauser.

The transmission of an enormous current by the cerebral stone. It continued until Hauser’s screams stopped.

– Chiiyiik!

Hauser collapses with the gruesome sight of human flesh burning. The wriggling fingertips proved that he was still alive.

“Arrest him. He’s a pretty good guy.”

Elysia hurriedly restrained the dying Hauser. A high-ranking knight-level criminal who stole military supplies.

Through him, the Central Bureau of Investigation will interrogate where he was stealing munitions.

“Looks like it’s over.”

At Zach’s words, Elysia looked around.

Around the house overflowing with corpses. There were no Kachitori members standing up at the scene where dozens of minor gang members died.

* * * *

It was thanks to Jacques Pietro who moved City Hall that the Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency were able to cooperate.

Suspicion of export of large-scale military weapons. This was an area where the Bureau of Investigation could intervene, and work with the National Security Agency to share the credit.

Thanks to this, we were able to arrest dozens of machine guns, tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, and even the Kachitori special forces.

“Hehahahaha! Again, great words! Good job, Detective Elysia!”

Deputy Director Rickert Bergman continued to praise Elysia, who had returned from defeating Hauser and Kachitori and his gang, unable to close his open mouth.

Now, in his mind, he must be a duck that lays golden eggs called Jacques Pietro.

“Let’s keep doing this!”

‘In the future…’

That means that the deputy director will leave Jacques Pietro alone without arrest.

As I was signing the paperwork for handing over the confiscated items to the National Security Agency, Günter approached me.

“You’ve done well this time too, Sir Elysia.”

“Sir Günther…”

“It’s such a sad expression, isn’t it?”

“······In the end, it was as he intended.”

Jacques Pietro did not even think of a head-on collision with Kachitori.

What he obtained from Squad Leader Kachitori was the location of military weapons that former soldiers were smuggling out.

Gustavo found out the strongholds of the Nicola and Luciano families and had them raided by small gangs.

Not only was the Triad Circle exhausted, but Hauser, Kachitori’s squad leaders, and the Triad Circle’s bosses were captured, so this struggle was a complete victory without loss for Jacques Pietro.

“It’s terrifying, Jacques Pietro. Is this the worst criminal in the Empire?”

The gang, the Public Security Agency, and the Bureau of Investigation were all held in my hands and shaken to form a board.

With this incident, the influence of the triad circle that dominated the south was completely destroyed.

All that remains is to see how Jacques Pietro manages to take control of this place.

“By the way, it’s a huge amount of weapons. Not only machine guns and ammunition, but also imperial swords and knight’s hazmat coats. And have you seen them? There are huge items. If they chose to resist, many would have died.”

“Yes, I signed it and handed it over to the Public Security Agency… Ah.”

All that remains now are the defeated soldiers of the Triad Circle.

Minor organizations will also rush like hungry ghosts to occupy their territory.

The time of resistance to bite each other will begin.

So what about Jacques Pietro?

“Sir Günther! I’ll leave the field to you!”

“what’s the matter?!”

“I have something to check urgently!”

Elysia said, “No way,” and hurriedly ran. It’s not difficult to follow tire marks or the path of a large truck.

No way, no way, after tracking the truck’s movement route, we arrived at a secluded warehouse on the outskirts.

There, he witnesses police officers one after another moving a large amount of weapons that he signed and handed over to the National Security Agency. And what they are receiving from them is——

“Pietro…!”

“Ah~ Ellie. Are you really quick-witted?”

Jacques Pietro. He was stealing weapons confiscated from the Triad Circle.
