The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#137 - Oh la oh la oh la!

After resolving the man, Zunzun looked around, and everyone caught by her gaze fell silent, not daring to speak or move.

A single Blader had successfully suppressed thirty fully armed militants, making them not even dare to point their guns at Zunzun.

But this wasn't based on force, but on a sense of oppression.

Or rather, presence.

These fully armed militants deeply understood the difference between a Blader and an ordinary person, and they also clearly knew that only magic could defeat magic.

Therefore, if they wanted to defeat the Blader in front of them, they needed to find their boss, who was also a Blader.

"Hey, hurry up and find Lord Smile…!"

"No need, I've already arrived."

Just thinking about it, such violent shooting, accompanied by the screams of the hostages, would definitely attract the attention of this group's leader.

Clap clap clap—

Measured applause echoed in the silent, empty open-air plaza, and Zunzun turned her head to look at the corner in the shadows.

From there, a gaunt man with tattoos on his face, wearing a black jacket with gold embroidery, slowly walked out, followed by about ten armed militants.

He should be the so-called Lord Smile, and also the leader of this group.

Smile met Zunzun's gaze, and her red eyes fascinated him somewhat. The smile greatly distorted the tattoos on his face as he asked:

"You… who are you?"

"I can't be bothered to talk to you. You're not worthy to listen."

"…Heh heh, you have a personality."

Although he said so, with a smile on his face, the fierce look in his eyes showed that he was very angry.

However, this guy didn't go crazy because of it, and even suppressed his anger, bowing slightly to Zunzun and apologizing.

"I am deeply sorry for the recklessness of my subordinates. I have already warned them not to hurt others, but these trash still disregard my orders. As expected, the lower class is the lower class… Hey, what are you doing? You bunch of trash can't even stand guard!"

Smile turned around and roared at the fully armed militants, but the next second, the corners of his downturned mouth turned up.

He invited Zunzun with a smiling face: "You, do you want to join Rebellion? You are a Blader, right? And I really like what you just said! That's right, Bladers should dominate these lower people, Bladers should stand above everyone else!"

"…Boring."

"Gah—!?"

Smile's speech came to an abrupt halt, his mouth wide open, looking very comical. He must have thought his speech was very passionate just now, but in Zunzun's eyes, it was just the barking of trash.

"The only reason I would waste precious time listening to you talking nonsense here is…"

"—Shizuku Kurogane!"

As if responding to Zunzun's words, Shizuku Kurogane, who was cowering among the hostages, released a water barrier, completely isolating the hostages from the rescue force.

Only a Blader could create such a sudden gush of water.

Smile was shocked by this.

"You were just bluffing!"

But Zunzun just stuck out her tongue at him, making a face that gradually turned Smile red with anger.

"If you guys don't want to stay put, then I'll just kill you all! Come on! Open fire and kill all the hostages for me!"

The militants followed the order and opened fire on the hostages inside the water wall.

Although it looked scary, and the hostages screamed in fright, they soon discovered that the rain of bullets pouring down like a waterfall didn't hit any of the hostages, and were all blocked by the water barrier.

"Tch!"

Smile clicked his tongue and said: "Whatever! Since the people inside can't be hit, isn't there still one person outside?"

He looked at the lone Zunzun.

"I don't know why you rushed out recklessly, but your appearance is a great help. Let me capture you…"

"Great. I can finally go on a killing spree."

"…Eh?"

"You've been giving long speeches there, being fussy, nagging, sounding like a mosquito. Honestly, I'm getting impatient listening to you."

"Mo-mosquito…!?"

This time, not only Smile, but even Shizuku Kurogane, Stella, and Arisuin Nagi, who were hiding among the hostages, and Ikki Kurogane, who was on the third floor, all discovered Zunzun's sharp-tongued attribute.

"Y-you bastard…! Hmph hmph hmph, whatever, as long as I have my Lawbringer—an invincible inherent divine armament that absorbs all attacks with my left hand and releases them with my right, everything is not a problem!"

Smile's forehead bulged with veins as he glared at Zunzun in anger.

Zunzun, however, stuck the human-shaped doll in her hand on the ground, and raised her head to speak to the upper part of the plaza: "Consider it a demonstration. Watch carefully how to apply this technique."

"Hey, who are you talking to?"

Who?

Of course, it was Ikki Kurogane on the third floor. He could see Zunzun's movements more clearly from overlooking the battlefield, and he must be able to learn this time. That's what he thought…

Zunzun slowly pulled open her stance, looking like she was about to use her fists.

"In any case, get close first."

Hmph, boring.

Smile's inherent divine armament, Lawbringer, has the effect of absorbing all attacks with his left hand and then releasing them with his right hand. Whether it's energy or strength, it's all no problem, so as long as…

The next moment.

Zunzun appeared in front of Smile.

"…Eh?"

Smile's face was full of astonishment.

What?

What happened?

What exactly is going on?

Why did this person appear in front of him just by blinking his eyes? It's like he crossed time and space, pressing the fast-forward button!

Ikki Kurogane on the third floor also exclaimed: "So fast. Even without using visual guidance, Zunzun's speed is abnormally fast."

But, it's definitely not that simple!

Zunzun kept flashing in front of Smile, and every time Smile noticed it, he was always half a beat slow, unable to even see Zunzun's figure.

He was completely being played with.

"Y-you bastard, are you just going to keep dodging? Hurry up and come out! Otherwise, I'll kill all these hostages! I'm a Blader, different from these lower beings!"

Just as Smile was threatening in a cowardly manner, Zunzun flashed in front of him again as if she had had enough, grabbed Smile's left and right hands, and then snapped them with a crack.

"…Eh?"

Smile stared blankly at his unnaturally bent wrists, opened his mouth, and then let out a painful scream.

Zunzun ignored him, and instead quickly punched him with both hands. At the same time, she said calmly:

"You have three weaknesses. 1. You can only absorb attacks from your left side, so you are more negligent on the right side."

Ora!

"2. Even if you capture and absorb the attack, it's useless if you can't hit with your right hand."

Ora ora!

"3. Your inherent divine armament should be conceptual, so you are very confident in your abilities, which leads to not having any countermeasures when the enemy gets close."

Ora ora ora!

Zunzun's fists were so fast that they created afterimages, and a large amount of blood mixed with bloody teeth kept flying out, and it was not necessary to guess whose it was.

Until the last punch, which landed heavily on Smile's chin, knocking him high into the air, and then falling to the ground like a torn rag.

With a thud.

Smile's body was like a weight hitting the hearts of all the militants, causing their bodies to tremble.

Zunzun looked at Smile, who was bruised and battered and whose life or death was unknown, and said: "I hope you can remember this and use it next time. Of course, if you have a next time."

…

The hostages had already been protected, and the strongest leader had also been defeated. These militants simply couldn't muster the will to resist, and were quickly tied up by Zunzun, Ikki Kurogane, and Arisuin Nagi, who had rushed over, and the situation was brought under control in just half an hour.

The water curtain fell, revealing the hostages inside.

Seeing that everything was over, Ikki Kurogane sighed and said: "I thought I was impulsive enough, but after seeing you, Zunzun, I actually feel that I'm quite calm."

"That's right, when I saw you rushing out, I didn't know what to do," Arisuin Nagi echoed, covering her cheeks.

Just when they thought everything was over.

Just then, a short-haired woman in a suit was holding a gun to an old woman's temple.

"Sa-save me—!"

"All you brats, don't move! If you dare to make any rash moves, I'll blow this old woman's head off!"

It was completely unexpected.

That an enemy would infiltrate the hostages.

She laughed wildly as if she had succeeded: "Hahaha! Fools, you're not the only ones who infiltrated the crowd!"

The expressions of Ikki Kurogane and the others changed drastically.

However, Zunzun chuckled. She didn't accept threats at all, and slowly pointed two fingers together at the woman in the suit.

"Y-you bastard… Didn't I tell you not to move!?"

"Light…"

"I-I have a hostage in my hand! Aren't you afraid I'll shoot!?"

"Of…"

"Impossible! You're just bluffing! N-no, that's right, just like before! You must be bluffing!"

Although the woman in the suit said so, her body was already shaking like a leaf.

The metallurgist who had threatened the hostages before had already been burned to a crisp, and their leader had his hands broken after threatening the hostages.

Seeing Zunzun about to attack regardless, the woman in the suit was already scared. The tragic state of her companions was still vivid in her mind, and she was under tremendous psychological pressure at this moment. Until—

"Saber. Bilibili~"

"Eek—!"

The woman in the suit rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground.

Stella twitched her lips: "Hey, could this be…"

"Yeah, she fainted from fright," Shizuku Kurogane affirmed her guess.

Really…

It was too unexpected.

But just when they thought it was really going to end this time. Several beams of light accompanied by a whistling sound, swept past the group.

Those were magic arrows emitting a sky-blue light, and then they plunged into the bodies of Smile and the others who were already lying on the ground unable to move.

Kill stealing?

"Heh heh heh, really, in the end, I still have to make a move. I don't really like stealing other people's credit."

The place that was empty in front of them was flashing with light, and the scene gradually collapsed like scales peeling off.

A figure appeared in the collapse.

Looking about the same age as Ikki Kurogane, he held a bow-shaped inherent divine armament in his hand, with a frivolous smile on his face.

This guy, saying he doesn't like stealing other people's credit, but what is he doing now!?
