Volume 3: The Utopia of the Demonic City Chapter 6: Don’t Think Too Much About Job Change Tasks
"No, that kind of place."
"Um?"
"I said that the kind of place you want is nowhere in this city. Do you understand? Why does everyone think that this city has such convenient things?"
"……What's the meaning?"
"Do you know when this city competition is held?"
The witcher shrugged his shoulders after taking a look at the pillar of fire rising into the air and the scattered debris of the building.
"Once a year. This city goes into chaos once a year . Do you think the people who live here are calm enough to keep their money in a 'bank'? There were idiots like that during the first three wars, but not since the fourth."
"Even if you use your brain to think about it, you should know why anyone would give their money to a place with no credibility. There are only demons and crazy murderers here, and no other reputable people. Do you think those people who opened the store are good people? You are wrong. They are just accumulating connections. They do that because they want to get what they want."
"You have to know that this is the devil's utopia. I just want to have a better life here."
"……Yeah?"
After taking a look at the woman who was dressed like a fashionable girl but whose age was unknown, Li Lin thought for a moment and nodded.
"That's true. But with your strength, you shouldn't be able to participate in this competition, right? Then why do you come here to destroy the bar?"
"Because I'm the referee."
The black-haired woman revealed a shocking news with a nonchalant look on her face.
"Demon Hunter Angel, the referee of the eighth district of this competition. But no one said that referees can't generate some extra income, right? Anyway, the referees of previous competitions either killed each other or hindered each other. I might as well just go find a job as a store keeper. But I never thought that someone would be so bold as to target me."
The woman looked confident.
She is indeed qualified to be so confident, especially in this chaotic and disorderly city.
Demon Hunter Angel, a senior demon hunter, once completed an interception battle against a demon army alone in the outside world. After using legal means, she came to the demon's utopia and acted for her unknown purpose.
The abilities she was most confident of were her terrifyingly strong attack power and supernatural abilities. Although she still had a thin human body after awakening the power of fire, she contained a considerable amount of power. As a warrior, her frontal combat ability was almost unmatched. Many people suspected that this woman's frontal combat ability might have reached another level.
But this does not mean that she is very capable in fighting behind the scenes.
"But I can also take you to a place where you have some money."
Walking on the street, the woman with long black hair stretched lazily. Her beautiful mermaid line and collarbone attracted the men around her.
"For example, some fun places. Just like the Devil's Bar just now, Big Sister will take you to many, many interesting places. Anyway, you are also a contestant, right? Then it is a very lucky thing to meet me. Let me, Big Sister--"
As he was speaking, there was a slight "hiss" sound, and the defense behind him was torn apart without any warning.
"ah……"
Why……
Looking at the expanding blade in his chest, the demon hunter spat out a mouthful of blood and turned his head away in disbelief, trying to take a look at the attacker.
But what he saw was a pitch-black mask that seemed to absorb all sights and light.
Her employer's mask. Lee Lim's mask.
"Are you... a contestant..."
"Huh? Of course not. I'm the referee."
"Then why..."
"Well, because the rules say that the referee can't kill the players at will. But I realized one thing, the rules don't say that the referee can't kill the referee, right? So I realized that you guys are the biggest problem of my trip."
The black-masked figure spoke in a brisk voice, unaware of the implications of his actions.
"So it turns out that you referees are the most dangerous. You were planning to kidnap me too, right?"
“…”
I don't... I'm not...
The world in front of her eyes gradually became blurred. The blood flowing from her body spurted out from the wound, the demon hunter's trachea was shattered, and the recoil of plasma caused countless blood foams to surge in her mouth, completely drowning her words in a dry hoarse sound.
"Oh, sacrificing one referee is equivalent to sacrificing 100,000 souls. It looks like they should be high-quality souls, right?"
"One hundred thousand servings... is that a lot or a little?"
"It's barely okay. After all, although he has great firepower, his defense is too poor . The referee can't kill the contestants at will, but it doesn't say that the referee can't kill the referee. It's great to have no restrictions...but it's too troublesome to find someone."
The attacker said this as if he was dissatisfied .
The sharp blade in the chest was slowly pulled out of the body, and with no obstruction, blood spurted out, creating a .
The woman's body, which had lost all its vitality, swayed in place, then knelt on the ground and collapsed. With her ears pressed tightly against the stone slabs of the road, she could even hear the footsteps approaching. Those were the footsteps of the god of death.
Before she fell into eternal darkness, she tried to open her eyes wide, looking at the city she loved, and the world she loved. Finally, she saw the man holding a long sword and walking towards her, swinging it horizontally. The passers-by walking by the city looked at this scene with some surprise, and then shrugged indifferently. They never looked back again.
No one would care about this sneak attack murder on the street, and no one would shed even a tear for her death. For this city, death is just a part of their daily life. There is nothing to make a fuss about, and nothing to be touched about. Compared with the small murder case that only killed one person here, isn't the more gorgeous explosion over there more worthy of attention? Do you really think that explosions can't kill people? It's just that it's completely unworthy of attention.
The woman's pupils gradually lost their luster, and her head, which had been holding up, slowly drooped down.
This is the devil's utopia.
It is the devil's utopia after all.
"Should I not have come here..."
Tell me, Gozers.
Am I wrong?
Are my thoughts really that naive and ridiculous?
Unfortunately, I can no longer hear your answer. I still love you...
With one final sigh, all the energy in the woman's body disappeared, and she died like an ordinary person.
But the moment her eyes drooped, her lifeless and stiff pupils reflected a cold light from the opposite building.
The black-clad demon's chest was instantly pierced by a torrent of light, as if a spear of condensed light had pierced the sky, nailing it to the ground with infinite rage, and suddenly blasting the surrounding streets into pieces.
"Angel!!!!"
The man's grief-stricken roar, along with the shattered world, solidified into a corner of daily life in the ideal country.
