Chapter 47: The Beginning of the Disaster, part 1

...—Capital of Excelia, Arestia— Empire...

...—18 December 1238—...

Zrjshh.

Zrjshh.

JGLAR!

The heavy rain accompanied by lightning coming from the night sky of the capital once again braved. As a result of the movement of the south wind, the northern hemisphere is once again infested by the cold of winter, no different from the cause of the rain that often flushes the capital city of Excelia, despite being in the tropics.

The atmosphere was dark, only a few street lighting points in several corners of the capital were lit up brightly. Even so with residents and economic activity declining, although some freight trains are still seen passing through the streets of the capital.

From atop the roof of the tallest building that was within the commoners district, a black-robed man looked at the streets of the capital expressionlessly, only stagnation could be painted on his face.

Code 9, one of the best killers Bloodytears has. As a "numbers" who had a one-number position, Code: 9 came under Emperor Renacles directly. However, Code :9 had broken the rule, obeying orders given by the Imperial Princess Renacles, Sophia.

In contrast to Code :0, black is the hallmark of the 9, as if making it blend with the night, like the nickname embedded in Rea before he got the name, Night Walker.

The right hand of Code 9 is lifted, the gaze of both eyes fixed on the black dagger he held. It looked like an ordinary dagger, yet it had an aura of divinity that could be felt even for a layman.

"God bless the Great Karel."

A moment closed, both of his legs resting firmly, immediately falling towards the imperial palace right as lightning once again fell upon him.

JGLAR!

Code 9 crashing, not one bit of rain water that soaks his clothes. Without seeming to bother, Code: 9 can pass through several roofs easily, as if the distance limiting one roof to another is just a small gutter.

Soon, Code :9 pulled Carnwennan, one of the twin daggers also owned by Code :0, and swung him forward.

TRANGS!

BLAR!

The arrow that shot out with a faint vortex surrounding him instantly turned a turn, destroying a building that was aligned with the direction of the turn.

"Well?!" Both of Lean's eyes opened wide, momentarily dumbfounded at something that to him was impossible.

Strong distrust was once again formed, no different from Ares, despite being unable to crush him, Lean had just encountered someone who could survive her arrow shot.

So it was with Rea, who had been in some other corner. From behind the chimney, Rea was momentarily dumbfounded, deeply distrusting of something that was happening right before her.

Without delay, Code :9 had learned of Lean's hideout from the trajectory of the arrows, immediately darting away by increasing her speed to its limit.

"Lack of experience." Code 9 slightly raised one corner of his lips, belittling Lean who was now right in front of him.

Since when?!

TRANGS!

Lean repelled the attack with her spare short sword. However, due to his second far-reaching stats, Lean once again felt a strong distrust, the spare dagger she used to fend off was instantly shattered, forcing her to leap back quickly.

Conceal, special effects owned by Carnwennan. Lasting for three seconds, it has a tremendous contribution if used in the middle of the battlefield, especially with only a small infiltration operation like he now does.

Rea swiftly moved, slashing the distance between himself and Lean, immediately dispelling the dagger attack that was possible to kill Lean instantly.

TRANGS!

TRANGS!

Rea gives his mark with his left hand, quick coordination with Lean is immediately created, the two decide to use the hit-and-run strategy, aiming to pull Code :9 away from the imperial palace.

THE TANG!

THE TANG!

THE TANG!

Statistics beyond reason make the battle both damage the surrounding area, some of the roof of the building can be said to be destroyed, can no longer dispel rainwater to enter the building. With an emergency response, a huge bell in the center of the capital was ringing, warning residents if the capital was already in a precarious state.

TRANGS!

TRANGS!

Several times Rea exchanged attacks with Code 9, making it harder to fend off and repel any Code 9 attacks. Rea's great hope is now only focused on the success of the arrows fired from the Zarrex Bow Lean.

Rea used both of his short swords optimally. One used to attack, a stalk was something the main thing he did with his other short sword. Even so, Code 9 has not had the seriousness to fight with it.

BWOSHI!

Once again, the Zarrex Bow fired an arrow. Lean has predicted where Code :9 will be. However, once again the oddity seemed, Code: 9 seemed to momentarily disappear, appearing just behind Rea.

"Weak." Code 9 uses Carnwennan, slashing Rea's back.

JRASH!

"Ack!" Blood gushed profusely, Rea lost his balance and fell to his knees until he fainted.

Code 9 immediately jumped, so Lean rose in pursuit. Code 9 once again raised one corner of his lip, using the Carnwennan effect and moving rapidly closer to Lean.

"Your playground is less big." Those words became the last sentence that Lean heard before she fell unconscious.

Strongly engraved regret, Lean again suffered her second defeat right after fighting Ares.

Slightly staggered, Lean fell down. As his vision grew blurred, Lean's gaze remained fixed on Code :9, who was turning her back, trying to regain what she had regretted.

Amidst the panic of the capital's residents, Code 9 only pays attention to the magnificent white palace. Seen to provide an architectural style like England in the previous Ares world, Code: 9 has the impression that the architecture of the western and eastern continents is very different, where Renacles was oriented to Ancient Greek culture as in the previous Ares world.

The memory of Princess Sophia gave him a request, or it could be said that the order was not pushy.

"Do you know of a very basic weakness for Emperor Ares?"

Every time Code 9 thought of Sophia's words, only pain pierced her heart. No different from the origin of the murderers, Code 9 was born.

Born without a father, Code 9 finds out that he was born in a slum gang due to a rape his father committed to a street woman who had a psychiatric disorder.

Huge in a violent environment, not having anyone she can rely on. Code 9 A small child can only be taken advantage of by adults until he meets the figure, an old man who takes abandoned children and educates them as a murderer.

Mental Psychological Code: 9 has been broken. Hearing the answer Sophia gave to the source of Ares' happiness, Code 9 became very angry. The intention to show the bitterness of the world to the Emperor Arestia was clearly emblazoned.

Because, only one goal can Code : 9 think of it.

"Kill, take it. I'll definitely take everything you have, Ares."
