Chapter 30 : Refuse
The shift change of the factory security team was the perfect time to break in.
It was a time when they had just been put on duty and had not yet properly established their security posture.
Hella and Waver exchanged glances and then ran towards the factory.
Whoosh!
Sand and dust rose up following the two mercenaries' sprint.
Е ňu̇ ḿа
The gradually increasing speed soon reached its peak, and it was as if a small storm was brewing.
The guards at the main gate, who had not hidden their presence, noticed their approach.

“Who’s there!”
The shout, with a gun aimed, might have been appropriate for a manual, but it was useless in a real battle.
Thwack! Crunch!
The two guards at the main gate were neutralized in an instant.
Ẃ ė bñо̇ v̂eĺ Ē n̆ ũ má
The spear blade that Hella had taken out from her back and assembled at the same time pierced one guy's neck, and the dagger that Waver had pulled out from his leather belt slashed the other guy's chest.
It was a clean skill without any unnecessary movements.
Due to its speed, the surrounding workers were still unable to follow what had happened.
Hella shook off the blood on her spear blade and sneered.

“Aren’t you a fool? If you think someone is dangerous, you should shoot first.”
“They were too fast to react.”
W̆ e ḃ ñ ov̀еl̊ E nūm â
“Well, well, you’re bragging.”
“Sigh, can’t you even understand a compliment?”
“I don’t want to hear a compliment from your mouth.”
While they were chatting for a moment, another person who had noticed the unusual situation reacted.
Wee-woo!
The sound of a siren spread far and wide.

From the view from the top of the hill, I could see the guards rushing towards Hella and Waver like a wave.
“Can you hold on?”
“Are you worried about those guys now? They’re as stupid as they are good at using their bodies. You should worry about us.”
Keljid answered cynically and placed his hand on the side door.
Zap!
As he slammed it with an electric shock, the security device was neutralized all too easily.
Е̇n ü mа̊
Just as he was about to quietly open the door and enter, Keljid expressed his doubts.
“Hmm?”

“What’s wrong?”
“We’ve been caught. They hid magic inside the security device. It’s an alarm-type that’s set to activate as soon as it’s neutralized.”
“You didn’t know that? Did a mage from the Magic Tower let his guard down?”
I couldn't help but criticize him.
Е́ň üṁа. ї d̊
Keljid's existence was top secret.
If it became like this, then there would be no choice but to have difficulties in the plan to secretly destroy the data and come out.
“It’s dark magic. I can’t solve it on my own.”
Keljid let out a sigh.

Dark magic, which was activated by going against the natural order, was difficult for a normal mage to interfere with.
But it was different for me.
W̄ е ḃ n̊о̆v̂ѐ l̊ Е̊ n̄ u m ӓ
“Really?”
In my sight, a mana like a black flame was reflected.
A solid line emitted from it was flying into the factory.
It wasn't too late yet.
I reached out my hand and snatched the tail of the dark mana.
The spirit sitting on my fingertip grabbed it together.

Fwoosh!
“What…!”
Keljid, who had witnessed the miracle, was horrified.
It must have been a sight he had never seen before.
It was faster for the spirit to burn the dark mana than for the magic to return to its master.
“It’s taken care of.”
W̊ ӗ b n о v̂ӗ l̊ Е̂n ūmа
“You, were you a dark mage?”
“No, I just have that kind of ability.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
There was no time to explain in detail.
Keljid and I squeezed in between the fleeing workers and entered the building.
“Don’t make a fuss and stay still! It’s just two of them! They’ll be dead soon, so you guys just do your work!”
The supervisors were ruthless even in this situation.
Е̊ nuṁ а̃
Instead of calming the frightened workers, they whipped them and urged them to work.
The coercive iron-fisted control was effective, and the workers, one by one, glanced around and returned to their places.
“This kind of perception is troublesome.”
I deliberately made my voice heard and revealed my presence.

Because what we wanted was an uncontrollable chaos both inside and outside.
“Hmm? Who are you guys! Get back to your places right now!”
Ŵ ӗ.b̂ń ò v́ě ľ Ѐñ u m̌а
The supervisor's gaze turned to us.
I extended a stem instead of answering.
“Wh-this bastard… keok!”
The supervisor, who had mistaken the intruders for only two, paid the price for his carelessness.
As the long stem wrapped around his neck and broke it, the supervisor struggled and then soon went limp.
“U-uaaak!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“It’s the enemy! They’re here!”
“Please save us! We don’t know anything!”
The workers, who had witnessed the shocking sight in front of them, fell into chaos again.
I left them to escape on their own, having been freed from control.
I hadn't come to commit a massacre on innocent people.
If they spread the fear everywhere, then that was exactly what I had intended.
Еn ù m̈а̄
“Did he already go?”
Keljid had disappeared in the meantime, as if he had used a magic to kill his presence.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He would take care of the work well on his own.
From now on, it was each person's share.
I ran up the stairs.
Except for the separate warehouse, the factory's production belt and the manager's office were separated by floors in the same building.
Е̄n̊ ùḿ a
It was the same structure as the factory I had escaped from.
If the structure was the same, then the internal layout would also be similar.
As expected, as I went up, it was bustling in a different sense.
“Intruder found inside! One supervisor is down!”

“There! It’s that guy!”
They were the guards who were patrolling the inside of the factory for the purpose of escorting the key figure.
Е̊ n̈ûm̀ӓ .і́d̆
As soon as they spotted me, they immediately pulled the trigger.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
I was not a warrior who was called a superman.
It was impossible to dodge all the hail of bullets pouring down in front of me.
“The gun…?”
“What is that monster!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
[The World Tree is triumphant.]
But there was no need to dodge.
Lignification.
The stem, covered with a thick bark, firmly defended my front like a shield.
The bullets from the rifle couldn't pierce it and fell helplessly to the floor.
“Uaaak!”
Ёnú mа̇
As I swung the stem like a whip, the guards who were blocking the way collapsed like dominoes.
I grabbed the last one by the collar and asked.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Where is the factory manager?”
“U-upstairs! At the very top!”
I threw the guy far away.
The guy, who had staggered up, whispered something into his collar and ran away.
W̌ė b n̈о v̀е̄ l̇ Е n um̃ ǎ
He must have transmitted wirelessly that an intruder was after the factory manager.
He had acted exactly as I had intended.
‘If this is the case, then most of the internal security forces will come to protect the factory manager.’
Even Centrim's Quadruple, who had not yet moved their heavy bottoms.

I finally reached the floor where the factory manager's office was located, after getting rid of the security forces who were just a bait to buy time.
Vroom!
Е nù m̆ а̇
The World Tree shook its leaves.
Did it have a memory of its time as a seed that was kept by the factory manager?
It seemed quite excited.
My heart was also pounding.
Although it wasn't the factory manager of the factory where I had been exploited, he was a similar guy anyway.
The desire for revenge, which I had put off because it wasn't important, stretched in my chest.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Bang!
I roughly kicked the door open and entered.
“...?”
The room, which was as flashy as the hobby of an exploiter usually was, came into my sight.
Unlike my expectation, the inside was quiet.
There was no loud scream of the factory manager or the sound of a gunshot fired without any questions.
Еn û m а
It was strange.
Thwack!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“...Blood?”
When I looked down, a sticky pool of blood was flowing at my feet.
When I followed the trace with my eyes, I found a pot-bellied corpse that I thought was the factory manager in a corner of the room.
“I told you to be at ease, but you kept making a fuss and trying to run away, so I killed you.”
Е n.ǔm̄ а .і_d́
The voice came from the factory manager's desk.
The light that had leaked through the blinds faintly illuminated his figure.
A thick protective suit that covered his entire body, and a red glint like a laser was shot from the visor of the blackened helmet.
The four skull patterns plated on his chest flashed with the reflected light.

“Hmm, you don’t seem to be very grateful. Wasn’t this trash your target?”
“Why did you kill him?”
W̄ е̂_ḃnо́ v е̂.l̈ Е̂nù m а
I answered nonchalantly.
“I told you, it was because he was noisy.”
“Wasn’t the mission of the dispatched Quadruple to protect the factory manager?”
“Oh, you came in even knowing that? You’ve got some guts.”
The one who had spoken so carelessly stood up from his seat.
“Well, to answer your question first, that’s your misunderstanding.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“You killed him to keep a secret. It must have been something that would have been troublesome if the cowardly factory manager had accidentally let it slip.”
“……”
His movements stopped.
It seemed I had hit the mark.
“The goblins of District 7, the dark mage Dalton Sunderland, the 85th branch manager of the Brotherhood, Malay Krekter. Don’t you have any idea?”
“How would I know that?”
Е̂ń um̄а
I observed the guy's expression carefully.
It wasn't as if he were feigning ignorance or trying to hide something.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
His twitching eyebrows were expressing his doubts at the absurd words.
‘Did he just kill him as ordered, without even knowing what the secret was?’
Well, no matter how high the reputation of Quadruple was, they were a security unit.
The internal affairs related to the operation of the company were not a matter for them to be involved in.
W еb̊ n̂o v̊ е ĺ Ě n ú m̆ а
‘Well, it’s not that there was no gain.’
Centrim had sent Quadruple to Dilipercy, and yet they were not at ease and had to share a secret that they had to kill to keep.
I was just curious if that secret was related to the dark mage or the circuit engraved on the spirit's cocoon.
‘The overall picture is similar to Hynax.’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The process of wiping out the information of Hynax, which was considered to be the work of a company, was similar to now.
If Centrim had been involved there as they were now… it was an understandable result.
Е n̊_ü mа̇ . і d̃
“Anyway, let’s stop the idle talk. Whose request is it? Sylvester?”
It seemed the other party was as curious as I was.
“What are you going to do with that information?”
“I’ll give you three times the pay. I’ll spare your life, so confess everything and get lost.”
Was he trying to lure me in and wipe us all out?
It was a trick befitting a rich conglomerate.

“It’s not worth it. The client and the broker won’t leave me alone.”
“If you use Centrim’s name, you won’t have any trouble.”
“How can I trust a promise made by a dog that just guards a house?”
“I’m the one who took the factory manager’s neck with my own autonomous judgment. I have that much authority. If you’re a team leader of Quadruple, you get permission for autonomous action.”
A team leader was not a low position.
He was full of confidence, so it was hard to see it as a bluff.
Е̇n̆uḿа
I dragged on the time, pretending to think, and then said.
“I refuse.”

“The reason?”
“I don’t think you’ll let me live.”
“...Hehehe.”
He laughed, cackling as if he had gone mad.

Crash!
At the same time, the agents of Quadruple broke through the window and rushed in.
The muzzles of their guns were all aimed at me.
“You’re quick-witted. Unfortunately.”

“Don’t you wonder who ordered it?”
“We can find that out with our own capabilities later.”
Ẇ е̂b̊n о̀ v́ е̃ l̃ Еn ū m а
He drew his hand across his neck.
“Die.”
Rat-a-tat-tat!
A gunshot that resembled a thunderclap erupted with a flash of light.
“Shoot more, as if you’re emptying the magazine! Turn him into a honeycomb!”
The hail of bullets continued endlessly.

It was a hail of bullets that would not have left even a corpse of an ordinary person.
It was too late to cover my body with a stem.
But I was calmly looking around the battlefield.
Crunch! Crunch!
The bullets dug into my body, and then, one by one, they stopped spinning and fell to the floor.
Clang!
W е̃ b̄ n ò v̀ ѐl̂ Ӗ ňu m̀ а
I shook my limbs and removed all the remaining bullets that were stuck in my body.
My whole body was a honeycomb, but I didn't even feel an itch.

‘My body is the cradle of the World Tree.’
It was an application of lignification.
It was the same feeling as pulling out a whip stem.
As the tree bark wrapped around my body, I became like a wooden doll.

“……”
Even though it must have been a shocking sight, none of the enemies were surprised.
It was the result of their experience of having dealt with all sorts of monsters as a security unit of a large corporation.
“A contract killer I’ve never even heard of is holding up well.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The man muttered.
It was a leisurely attitude, as if he thought that if he kept shooting, it would eventually work.
Е̄ nu m̄å.і̀d
I also shrugged my shoulders and joked.
“It’s not the time to be leisurely.”
“What?”
It was time to shatter that illusion.
Bang!
The gunshot came from me.

The Hastok-400, which was just a cheap revolver.
It was a piece of equipment that was no match for Quadruple, who were armed with the latest protective suits.
“...!”
Thud!
But the bullet pierced the helmet without any trouble.
The corner of the guy's mouth was firmly shut.

‘The enchantment was done properly.’
Sage's talent had not disappointed my expectations.

She had succeeded in imbuing magic on the bullets in just a few days.
The imbued magic was a destructive power enhancement.
It was a simple but effective magic.
“Damn it, this bastard…!”

Rumble!
Just as the guy was about to step forward, a huge vibration struck the area.
The building shook, and the debris of the cracked roof poured down.
My ears were ringing from the roar.

While the personnel in the room were flustered, trying to regain their balance, I scanned the outside of the window.
Flash!
Ẽ n̂um̊ a.
A thunderbolt accompanied by a flash of light was striking a specific point of the factory.
A miracle that artificially caused a natural phenomenon, magic.
‘Did he succeed?’
It was the signal I had been waiting for.
It was a sign that the system that had been managing the factory had collapsed as the algorithm data was destroyed.
The man who had stood up, holding his knees, threw away his leisure and panted at me.

“What have you done…!”
“Who said that killing the factory manager was our goal?”
The assassination of the key figure was a bait, and the suspicious content I had brought up was my wit.
“The production factory has collapsed, and you even killed the factory manager out of fear, so your career is over.”
“You damn bastard…!”
I focused my mind.

The spirit that had returned to the World Tree responded to my will and drew out its power.
The trick was the same as when I had fought the goblins of District 7.

The crack was caused by Keljid's magic, and my job was to dig into it.
Although there was a huge difference in size and scale between the old, collapsed commercial building and the factory building, the gap would be filled by the mass that had exploded due to lignification.
“A final gift.”
If I was lucky, I would live, and even if not, I wouldn't be unscathed.

Rumble!

I jumped out of the window.
The screams, curses, and profanities were buried underground along with the collapsing building.

“Oh, damn it! What the!”
Hella jumped in surprise and aimed her spear at me.
I held my ringing head and said.
“It’s me. Put down the spear.”
“Allen? What were you doing, and you fell from the sky?”
“Keljid has finished his mission. We can go back.”

“Ah, really? What, when did that place get so messy?”
As if she had been focused on the battle, Hella didn't know about Keljid's signal or the destruction I had caused.
“Did you set off a bomb or something?”
“Something like that.”
I checked the state of the escaped factory.
It was a magnificent sight, as if a giant had crushed it with the side of his hand.
Е ǹ ūm̀ ă.
The factory was in a state of collapse, leaning towards the center like a broken roof tile.
Although I hadn't done it, I had killed Dilipercy's key figure and even brought down the building.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Since Keljid had also succeeded in his operation, the shutdown of the factory was confirmed.
“You’ve been running wild too.”
The surroundings were a mess with traces of battle.
The commotion at the beginning of the raid was in vain, and the surroundings were quiet.

The experienced hand of the mercenary had cleanly taken the lives of the enemies without even allowing them to groan.
The corpses were scattered like pebbles on the street, and huge pits were dug deep here and there on the ground.
The power of a warrior class, a superman who handled mana through their body.
The expression that they were comparable to a weapon with a human body was not wrong.

“But what’s with that look? Ugh, it’s disgusting, so get rid of it.”
[The World Tree is dejected.]
Ӗ n_u m а .і̆ d
Come to think of it, I was still in a state where I had pulled out both the lignification and the whip stem from my body.
“It’s not that disgusting, is it?”
“Damn it, with that face, it’s so bizarre that my eyes are going to rot.”
It wasn't that I was trying to comfort the World Tree, but my appearance was cool and it seemed her taste was strange…
Since the strange one was the other party, I, the magnanimous one, decided to understand.
“If it’s all over, shall we run away now? We’ve taken care of most of them, so there won’t be anyone to chase us.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Waver, who had joined us at some point, said.
As he had guaranteed, it wasn't just that they had caused a commotion with a feint, but they had turned the place into a mess.
It was to the extent that I thought it would have been fine to just take care of everything from the front without dividing the personnel.
“What about Keljid?”
“I don’t know, should we bring him? It’s not as if he’s a person who can’t get himself out just because a building collapsed…”
“...Is that guy Keljid?”

It was then.
At those words, the group, who had been leisurely warming up, once again assumed a battle stance.

“Hehehe, I’ve been properly screwed. At this rate, I won’t be able to show my face when I go back to the company.”
From within the debris of the collapsed building, a new figure staggered out.
The dusty dust that had settled was scattered by the wind, revealing the identity of the figure he was holding in his hand.
“Keljid!”
Е n̊ ŭmӑ..і d
“It seems so.”
‘Was he alive?’
The protective gear, which had become a tattered rag, seemed to have absorbed the damage.
The team leader of Quadruple, holding the fainted Keljid by the scruff of his neck, grinned and then threw him to the floor.

“Then shall we return the favor?”
Crunch!

A dull boot crushed the heart of the man in the robe.
Keljid's corpse rolled among the debris of the building like trash.
“I won’t miss a single one. You bastards.”
The guy's body, with its exposed bare skin, contracted and expanded, pulsating bizarrely.
