Rumbling…
Heavy aftershocks shook the entire cavity.
The body of a huge crocodile sank to the ground.
… … And that too in one go!
Colonel Dordium. A candidate for prison director who was aiming to become the next president.
One of the five major guards of the Nouvelle Vague, and one of the twin walls in charge of actual military power, was completely destroyed in an instant.
Everyone froze with their mouths wide open in the face of this so absurd and shocking situation.
… … .
Everyone, including prisoners and guards, was silent, and a brief moment of silence prevailed over the battlefield where the chaos of chaos had just been taking place.
In particular, Lieutenant Colonel Bastille, who was under Dordium's direct line, was so shocked that he thought his heart was going to jump out of his throat.
"Do, do, Colonel Dordium?"
But Dordium, with his head down on the ground, is silent.
Seeing the tongue sticking out over the corner of the hollow hole, it was clear that the person had either fainted or died.
… … From the perspective of the guards watching, we can only hope that it is not the latter.
Meanwhile.
Bikir took off his hat and revealed his face to Nouvelle Vague once again.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen of Nouvelle Vague."
Officially, the Night Hound, who escaped from prison and is said to have met the miserable Malo in the middle of the deep sea, has reappeared.
This cheeky prison escapee even held in his hands the key that could open the 'Gate of Good and Evil', the symbol of Orwell's Sword of Winter and the Nouvelle Vague.
It has been clearly revealed who was the main culprit who caused great confusion at the entrance ceremony earlier.
Upon seeing this, Colonel Bastille's expression was once again filled with astonishment.
"Why is that thing over there! Why is this a new item that Sir Winston, the headmaster of Colosseo Academy, must have!?"
It was more shocking that Orwell, the Sword of Winter, was here than that the Night Hound, who was thought to be dead after escaping from prison, was alive.
But no matter how many questions I ask, Bikir does not answer them.
at that time.
Sigh-
Huge shadows were cast beyond the flames and vapor.
Before I knew it, the prisoners from Level Nine and Level Eight were gathering in the direction where Vikir was.
"It's a shame. Dordium was my prey."
"Kid. I hit it a bit. "What is that guard's uniform?"
"Do you know anything about orcas? "When will the old man come?"
"I can knock Dordium down with one blow. If you just eat well... … ."
Prisoners of various appearances surrounded Bikir.
All of their eyes were focused on the key in Vikir's hand.
Bikir spoke briefly.
"friends. "I have no intention of monopolizing this key."
If that were the case, I wouldn't have thrown the key in the middle of this mess earlier.
Bikir once again threw the keys away.
The key flew far away in a parabolic curve and landed exactly in the center of where the prisoners and guards were standing face to face.
Bikir had no intention of picking up the key again.
In this urgent situation, the key's usefulness could be seen as having been drawn twice.
"Oh oh! "It's a real key!"
"Open the gates of good and evil!"
"Going out to the nostalgic land!"
"for a moment! "Shouldn't we steal the balloon eel before that?"
The prisoners rushed out to collect the keys.
Bikir looked at it and sensed that it was time to slip away.
As everyone looked upward, the Hound of the Night was looking down deeper than anywhere else.
'… … Now is the right time to go to Level 1.'
There, a sphere surrounded by blue lava, lies 'Poseidon', who will become humanity's final weapon.
While everyone's eyes were on the 'Gate of Good and Evil' on the first floor, those who thought they could use their brains were paying attention to the 'Balloon Eel Farm' on the fifth floor, and the returner who knew everything was aiming for 'Poseidon' on the tenth floor.
Bikir threw away the key and immediately turned around and ran.
The eyes of everyone, including prisoners and guards, are directed to the door and key of good and evil.
It was clear that thick blood would pour in once again from the place where the key fell.
'… … It was a good thing I brought the key. There can't be anything else like this to divert attention.'
Is there anything more interesting to guards and prisoners than the key to a prison lock?
Vikir recalled the face of Professor Sadi, who briefly held Winston's hand when he was dealing with him at the Academy.
In any case, this operation was possible thanks to her stealing Winston's sword Orwell, so it would be nice to at least say hello if we meet in the future.
'… … 'If you're alive.'
She, who used to work under the name of Miss Ouroboros, disappeared completely after the Winston and Narcissus incident, and her whereabouts were unknown thereafter.
However, the words Sadi had said when he handed over Orwell, The Sword of Winter, to him still remained clearly in his mind.
'Hand it over.'
'Yes~ I'll give it to you~ I really need the 'main door key' but... … Well, there must be another way.'
'… … .'
'Can you promise me one more thing instead? … … If you get the chance... … Please make sure to take it out together.'
'… … i get it. if there is a chance.'
'Be cool.'
Bikir needed to go to Level 1 once again in order to keep his promise to Sadi.
Her request was one that could be granted while operating Poseidon.
Bikir felt everyone's eyes turn in the opposite direction and quickly ran down the slope.
at that time.
… Pakang!
A sharp rock protruding from the wall grazed Vikir's cheek.
"… … !"
Bikir tilted his head back and dodged.
If I had been wrong, my head could have exploded in one hit due to the acceleration I was running at.
When Bikir turned his head, he saw the being who moved the rock standing in front of him.
… … There was only one person. The one who didn't pay attention to the key.
Colonel Suware. One of the two colonels who represent the twin walls of the Nouvelle Vague.
She was blocking the entrance to the stairs leading downstairs and was glaring at Bikir with a cold gaze.
Suware asked, looking back and forth between Vikir and the Dordium spread out behind him.
"You are the one I put in solitary confinement. "If you think about it that way, don't you owe me something?"
"Oh, I see. Should I pay you back now?"
"If you have the ability."
As Suware nodded and spoke, Bikir nodded willingly.
"Of course."
At the same time, Suware's hammer and Bikir's sword clashed.
… Quack!
A heavy shock wave spreads out like countless snakes.
Flames, oil vapor, gas, and dust were swirling around, creating a terrifying sight.
Quack! Kaang- Land! Ujijik! Kang-kwakkwakkang! Crackle!
The magic sword Beelzebub and the heavy sledgehammer were exchanging forwards and retreats at an astonishing speed.
Suware was applying so much force that the sledgehammer was getting red hot, but he could not avoid being pushed back further and further.
'What kind of power does this guy have... … !'
I understand why Dordium was destroyed in one blow.
The opponent is a skilled warrior who has nothing to lose, whether it's strength when it comes to strength or speed when it comes to speed.
Suware sensed that he had no chance of winning in a head-to-head fight, so he retreated.
Puff puff puff!
Soon, a wave of lava rose from where she stamped her foot and hit Vikir.
Vikir cut down the lava, but it soon hardened and crumbled into thick dust.
And then the second and third rock waves came in succession.
"… … "It's an annoying pattern."
This was not an attack to injure Bikir, but rather an attack to waste time.
Suware noticed that Bikir was trying to go downstairs after causing confusion for some kind of purpose.
"I don't know what you're aiming for, but give up. "I'm good at defense."
Suware grinned and blew out cigarette smoke.
The twin walls of Nouvelle Vague each have their own characteristics.
Dordium in attack, Suware in defense.
Dordium specializes in frenzied attacks and single-handed slashes, and Suware specializes in creating infinitely overlapping shields by pulling in surrounding rocks and minerals.
The personalities of these two are very clear and distinct.
Vikir frowned as he looked at the protective shield of rock and alloy that Suware had created by overlapping several layers.
'The compatibility isn't very good?'
In the end, Suware is also one of the powerful enemies that must be defeated here.
I felt like I was going to waste the time I had saved by putting all my effort into capturing Dordium.
'I can't help it. It will take a lot of time, but you have to make sure you move on... … .'
While Bikir was just thinking about various things in his mind.
Qua-boom!
A tremendous roar came from the front.
The shock wave was strong enough to make the eardrums of the lower-ranking guards standing around burst and bleed out.
"Huh!?"
Suware's head turned as if it would be pulled out from between his shoulders.
She fell into a trajectory that was parallel to the ground, landed on the wall next to her, and immediately closed her eyes and fainted.
It was the same ending as Dordium.
"… … ?"
Bikir looked up through the thick dust.
A thin shadow was standing there, trampling on Suware's face.
A murmur was heard nearby.
"Hi!? "This is a new prisoner!"
"Is it that bitch? "Who is scheduled to enter Level 10?"
"You came straight in without going through a trial, so I never thought they would send Suware away in one fell swoop."
"There was another monster."
Information that he had previously passed along without much thought came back to Bikir's mind.
'By the way, did you hear? This time, there is a level 1 person scheduled to transfer. I heard he was sentenced to Level 9 right away without a trial. But it's a girl. They even said it was pretty.'
'Are you crazy? He would be a monster of monsters if he were to be thrown straight into Level 9 without a trial. 'I wonder if it looks like a woman.'
The new prisoner who made a fuss about this admission.
Black hair with scattered silver hair, triangular pointed ear tips, and a black face covered in ash.
Big, clear eyes like a lake in bitter eyes.
She was looking at Bikir and smiling.
"It's been a while, Seobu."
A new night fox has appeared, succeeding the night fox Aquila.
It was Iyen's appearance
