Chapter 179 – 179. God’s Atlantis
179. God’s Atlantis
“It is true. I am the Heavenly Demon.”
My voice was deeper than usual. The voice was altered through deceit (SS).
“…….”
The man standing in the alley looked me up and down and clicked his tongue briefly.
“Tsk. What else is that funny mask? Did you copy Helten’s officers?”
Helten.
It is the most famous criminal legion in Atlantis. However, it is not known where the stronghold is or exactly how strong it is.
Rumor has it that Helten’s executives wear masks.
Of course I know about Helten. This is because one of the enemies of the main character in the original work is Helten. And now my purpose is to enter Helten.
“It has nothing to do with you. If you are a guide, act like a guide.”
“What kind of sickness is this…. Ugh. Okay I’m tired of caring about people like you…. I will guide you, so please follow me.”
I started walking after the man.
The back alleys of today’s city in District 2 were winding like a labyrinth. Like the largest city of Atlantis, the back was also enormously large.
“Harek! Are you working What is the clown in the back?”
As I walked down the alleys, bad-looking men talked to the big man.
“I’m a guest, grandma, so don’t mind.”
The big man, Harek, said nervously. It seems to be quite popular because it is limited to back alleys.
When you walk 15 minutes. We arrived in front of an old building. Furniture and rusty armor scattered here and there give off a gloomy atmosphere.
“Here you go. There’s a granny in this building, so go in.”
“Good work.”
Harek just waved his hand as if telling him to go quickly without saying anything.
I entered the building confidently.
The inside of the building was clean and tidy unlike the outside. The ceiling lights are also bright.
I looked at the papers on the wall. Requests such as kill someone, steal something, find someone, etc. Are attached.
This is a request center that arranges illegal requests. Killing contracts are easy here.
“Another madman is here.”
At the end of the building. There was an old woman sitting in a chair. The old woman in the red cloak appeared to be at least 70 years old. Her hair is white and her face is full of wrinkles.
What is unusual is that the old woman’s chin, side of her nose, and both ears are full of piercings.
‘Pessica, the arranger. An old man who arranges all sorts of illegal things. And a person belonging to Helten.’
Pesica was also introducing useful talent to Helten.
“I am called the Heavenly Demon.”
Walked over to Pesica and introduced herself to her.
Pesica frowned at her.
“Stop the bullshit and tell me why you went to the lengths of killing an innocent man to find me. Hey.”
“What is a mean man? That bastard was a pickpocket.”
I sat across from Pesica wearing a lower body. To hide my identity, I have to refrain from using my natural tone.
“They beat them to death and threw the body in an alleyway? I wrote my name on the wall of the alleyway!”
I frowned at the old woman’s clear voice.
“I caught and killed the pickpocket because I saw it. I wrote your name on the wall, isn’t it because you have business? And you don’t really care if the pickpocket is dead or not.”
I followed and beat what appeared to be a pickpocket two hours ago. It was because it was clear that Pesica, who was sensitive to information in the back alley, would hear my actions in less than an hour.
Also, it’s faster for her to find me than for me to find her.
“Do you want to see me? What to do?”
“…….”
Instead of answering, I looked up.
In the state of the Heavenly Demon, I feel very sharp right now. I felt something on the ceiling.
‘It’s obvious if you don’t look. Must be a ghost Because Pesica is a necromancer.’
Pesica, a necromancer, is quite strong despite her old appearance. Perhaps, if I now fought Pesica, there was a chance that I would lose.
I lowered her head again and looked at Pesica.
“Is there one more business for the arranger? I want a request.”
“You killed a pickpocket to meet me and arrange a request? You’re a brainy guy.”
A chill was felt from all sides. Unseen specters surrounded me. Perhaps Pesica intended to kill me here.
“That was the quickest way. And the pickpocket was annoying.”
“Back? Did the pickpocket steal your money?”
“No. You were stealing some woman’s sleeve.”
“But why kill a pickpocket!”
You didn’t have to kill the pickpocket. You could have met Pesica by catching a pickpocket and beating it up. That’s because Pesica is taking over the back alleys of this city.
“She was a pretty woman.”
“…… What?”
“That was quite a woman of my taste.”
“…… He was crazy Due to the nature of my work, I have seen all kinds of crazy people, but you are the best among them.”
“I’m normal, but…. Well, that’s fine Will you give me a request?”
“I will give you a request. That pickpocket isn’t against our kids, isn’t it against the rules? But… This guy doesn’t seem to like you.”
Swoop.
A blue specter appeared before my eyes. Long face and thin eyebrows. It’s the pickpocket I killed 2 hours ago.
‘I want this. He turned the pickpocket’s soul into a specter.’
Pesica calls me crazy, but when I look at it, it only seems that a dog with chaff is scolding a dog with something on it.
Glance. My pupils turned sideways.
All the ghosts are showing up and slowly closing the distance.
Pesica says nothing and she looks at me with an expressionless face.
‘Is it a test?’
If Pesica had really tried to kill me, it wouldn’t have been a prank like this.
‘Great. I’ll face it head on.’
I started to raise the mana in my body, no, the heavenly demon.
Then, it blows out the heavenly demon in all directions to take control of the surroundings.
Heavenly Demon Goddess.
Heavenly Demon Force.
The specters hesitated as if feeling intimidated by the energy of the Heavenly Demon that controls ten thousand horses, and then began to retreat.
I reached out and grabbed the pickpocket by the neck. He was able to catch the disembodied specter because he was wearing a magic armor in his hand.
Hey hey hey!
The specter struggled in my grasp.
“To die twice at the hands of the principal…. You are lucky Heavenly Demon Bomb!”
Quaang!
A black explosion erupted from my hand. The specter that was hit head-on by the explosion disappeared without a trace.
Swoop.
As I looked around, the ghosts retreated from me.
“… Done.”
After Pesica spoke briefly, the ghosts disappeared without a trace. She didn’t hide, she just disappeared.
“I never thought the ghosts would be afraid of humans…. Common sense makes no sense. You bastard, what are you doing?”
“You should have known. I am every thousand.”
When I spoke solemnly, Pesica clicked her tongue.
“Tsk. No one would think that was his real name. Let’s look at the face first. Take off that childish clown mask that isn’t even funny.”
“It is impossible. Since I have such a great social position, it would be impossible to expose her face.”
“If you came to receive a request, shouldn’t you give me at least some information about you?”
“Well. My name is Heavenly Demon. I am in my early 20s.”
“Lack. Looks like an outcast… When did you come to Atlantis?”
“You came three years ago.”
“It is a lie.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Son. How many years do you think I’ve been doing this? I’ve been doing this since the world began. I’ve seen a lot of crazy people like you.”
“I am normal.”
“It’s done. I have no intention of arguing with you. If you don’t want to give out your personal information… I’m sorry but I won’t back down. Instead, tell me the throne with which you signed a contract. It is a condition for arranging the request for you.”
“The one who sows the seeds. It’s the Shinjwa that signed a contract with me.”
Pesica glared at me fiercely.
“Don’t play around.”
“I’ve never been kidding. In the first place, if I tell you the name of the throne, how will you confirm it?”
“Ask the throne to send a message. Can you do that much?”
“Do you think the throne will listen to me?”
“Huh. If the Shinjwa doesn’t even grant that request, your level is up there. I don’t have a request for you who don’t reveal your name and face, and you don’t have any skills, so go out.”
Can’t go out
My plan is to naturally contact Helten while carrying out Pesica’s request and become Helten’s executive. The plan cannot fail from here.
“…… The Shinjwa who signed a contract with me is a bit eccentric. Please tell us about your new seat first. Wouldn’t that be fair?”
“…….”
「The Soul Reaper wants to harvest your soul.」
Soul Reaper.
It must be the throne of Pesica.
“King of the Demonic Heaven. Please.”
“The king of demons is keeping an eye on the soul reapers.”
“The Soul Reaper looks up in surprise.”
As if Pesica could see the notification window, she opened her mouth slightly.
“… King of heaven. It’s not an ordinary Shinjwa.”
“Do you know the true identity of the king of demons? Can you teach me something? I am dying of curiosity.”
“No. I don’t know who the king of demons is.”
“But why are you so surprised?”
“The fact that the priestess who contracted with me was surprised means that the king of the demonic sky is of high rank. There… If the word king is included in the name of the throne, there is more than half the possibility that it is not a normal throne.”
“The king of demons is a bit amazing. Can I accept the request now?”
“Good night. What request do you want?”
Thanks to the cooperation of the King of Heaven, the matter was easily resolved.
“I don’t have much time. I hope it’s a request that can be done within tonight.”
I have not yet left the Church of Beginnings. Today, I skipped training and sneaked out. I don’t call attendance anyway, so I won’t be caught. However, if I get caught, I agree with Yoo Seo-hee that I can’t come out because I’m sick.
“It’s tonight…. There are three of them.”
Pesica took off three pieces of paper from the wall and showed them to me.
“Choose one of these and do it.”
I took a closer look at the request.
“One is contract killing… , One is to collect information… The other is stealing.”
Surprisingly, the pay was the lowest for contract killings. Stealing was the most rewarding.
“Hite? What is this guy with a pissy name doing?”
“He is a herbalist. He sells herbs that are in poor condition disguised as fresh herbs.”
“I think I know who the client is. Information gathering?”
“All you have to do is collect information about the Mate Legion.”
“Can you do that in one day?”
“If you kidnap and interrogate a member of the Mate Legion, it can be done in one day.”
Also, that old man is vicious.
“Theft is three million pennies for one red twig. What is that twig that pays three million pennies?”
3 million pennies is about 30 million won in Korean currency.
“Payment is high because of the place to steal, not the goods. The branch is in Hobson’s mansion in Area 57. Hobson is the richest man in Area 57.”
“Area 57…. It will take a few days to get there.”
“If you make that request, I will give you the order form.”
“An order sheet?”
“It’s a space transfer order.”
Space Movement Scroll is a scroll that allows you to move to the set coordinates. Disposable, difficult to obtain and very expensive.
“Did you know that the order book is more expensive than the commission fee?”
“If you don’t want to do it, don’t do it. After all, there are plenty of people other than you who will do this request anyway.”
“Who said no? I will do it with this request.”
“Don’t forget that the request is completed only when you bring the branch to me.”
“What is that twig?”
“I do not know either.”
It’s a lie.
Pesica seemed unwilling to explain the tree branch to me.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’
I knew about this branch. It was Helten who made this request.
‘Twigs are one of the seven blades.’
Even if I don’t do this request, I’ll retrieve the branches from Helten after a while.
The reason Pesica showed me this request must be because she intends to test me. I, who signed a contract with the high-ranking divine seat, the king of the demonic sky, is the talent Helten is looking for.
“If you tear this scroll, you will be transported to the alleys of Area 57. And this order book has coordinates set on the outskirts of today’s city. Don’t do anything stupid to lose your order.”
“Okay. But I have a question for you.”
“What?”
