My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 122
Episode 122. Counterattack (1)
Originally, everything should be carried out when the person in charge is present on site.
Having no one to take responsibility for an incident means you have to bear that responsibility yourself.
This saying applies even to construction sites – if an accident happens when the foreman isn’t around, you’re the one who gets screwed.
That’s probably why when I first set foot on a construction site, Hyung always told me:
‘Get inspected by the safety ghost before you work.’
Thanks to that, throughout all my time moving between construction sites, I never got hurt except for muscle pain.
That’s how obsessed our foreman was with safety equipment.
The story went in a slightly strange direction, but the reason I brought this up was simple.
“You guys don’t have anyone in charge.”
Right now, there’s no one in charge at the Narukami Clan.
What remains there are just ordinary laborers like me and Hyung from my construction days.
They recklessly poked a hornet’s nest without anyone in charge.
They must face the consequences of what they’ve done.
“…What if Uncle ordered it?”
“That’s… well.”
Then shouldn’t they have been more careful about poking it?
Anyway, you guys are the bad ones.
We did nothing wrong!
Puffing out my chest and shouting confidently, I looked at the splendid mansion visible in the distance.
“Wow, they live well, don’t they?”
As expected of a noble family over 100 years old.
A traditional mansion that would only appear in dramas or movies sits prominently not far from the city center.
Narrowing my eyes and staring at the mansion, I turned to look behind me.
Rai was running toward us, breathing heavily.
“You’re here?”
“…Sorry.”
“I didn’t wait long so it’s fine, but why did you say you needed to stop by home?”
Before heading to the Narukami Family Mansion.
Rai said he had somewhere to stop by briefly and told us to go ahead.
Since he wasn’t the type to run away, we agreed and headed to the Narukami Family Mansion first.
And now.
The guy who came close while breathing heavily wiped the sweat dripping down his chin and avoided eye contact.
“I left something behind.”
“Something you left behind? Now that I look, there’s something new hanging from your waist?”
I looked at the sword hanging from his waist.
The handle was wrapped in black bandages.
A sword with a dark-colored sheath adorned with red thread.
‘Somehow… it’s not ordinary.’
It’s definitely not a magical tool.
I can clearly see it’s very old.
I was feeling some strange, inexplicable sensation from the sword he was wearing.
‘Mana?’
No.
This isn’t mana.
It’s similar to mana but an unknown power.
But that power didn’t feel particularly unpleasant.
Rather, it felt infinitely familiar.
Unlike me tilting my head in confusion, Hikari’s eyes widened as she looked at the sword at his waist.
“Brother, that sword is…!”
“Yes, Aido Raiden. The family head’s sword passed down through generations of our clan.”
In the distant past.
Aido Raiden, said to have been used by the first family head.
This sword, considered a masterpiece among masterpieces, can only be owned by the head of the Narukami Clan.
The reason he was officially the head of the Narukami Clan was also because he was the owner of Aido Raiden.
“It was sealed inside a magical tool, so it took a while to find.”
Saying that, Rai caressed the scabbard at his waist.
“Today, I will drive them out and reclaim the family.”
Rai spoke with a voice full of determination.
I chuckled and turned to face forward.
“Looks like they spotted us?”
While talking with Rai.
Finally sensing us, people from the Narukami Clan began bustling out through the main gate.
“…Why are there so many?”
“The Narukami Clan has over 100 members.”
Over 100 people.
That’s comparable to a large guild.
As expected of a group with an S-Rank Hunter.
“…”
The Narukami Clan members all drew their weapons with faces full of determination.
I pointed at them with my finger and asked Hikari.
“So those people are the Flame Emperor’s people?”
“The current Narukami Clan only has those who pledged loyalty to Uncle remaining.”
“So they’re all rotten.”
Then I can strike them down without hesitation.
Nodding, I covered both fists with mist and took my stance.
Hikari also formed spheres of light in the air.
And Rai.
“Haaah, hoooo…”
With a deep breath, he drew the sword from his waist.
The blade revealed itself to the world.
Ordinary.
As if the power I had felt was just my imagination, the blade had an extremely ordinary form.
Losing interest and turning my head, I bent my knees.
[Mist – Mist Flight]
My body shot forward rapidly using the mist’s repulsive force.
I gifted a footprint to the face of the man at the front, stepped lightly on him, and leaped upward once more.
My vision flipped 180 degrees.
Through my black hair fluttering in the wind, I captured those standing on the ground in my sight and pulled my arm back.
[Mist – Rampage]
A mist explosion, controlled just right to not be fatal, struck in all directions.
Landing on the opposite side beyond them, I raised the corner of my mouth and said.
“Where’s the person in charge?”
* * *
Bang.
Hikari, who had blown away those charging at her with light beams from the air, glanced to the side.
Han Mi-reo, who had jumped into the middle of enemy territory, was dancing magnificently while wrapped in black mist.
“…I’ve never had this thought about anyone except Uncle.”
Whoosh-
She quickly dodged the incoming arrow and fired a beam in the direction it came from, muttering.
“Amazing.”
Pure admiration without any other emotion mixed in.
It couldn’t be helped.
Anyone who saw that sight would think the same.
Any warrior who saw that would harbor the same thoughts.
“Kheueok!”
Every time he threw a punch, three or four people went flying.
Even when they tried to attack through the gaps, like this.
“What the hell!”
“What are you saying.”
He dodged all attacks with just the slightest movement.
Han Mi-reo dodged a sword striking down at his head with a single step and struck the shouting man’s abdomen, knocking him unconscious instantly.
Wrapping mist around the man he had knocked out, he swung and threw him as if the man were a club.
With that simple action alone, he incapacitated several people, then lightly stomped his foot to spread black mist across the ground.
“You guys seem unable to take responsibility, so someone go bring out the higher-ups inside there.”
The mist spread across the ground instantly shot upward.
It was mist, but not mist.
Those pierced by the thorns of the mist that had taken form all gasped and rolled their eyes back.
But strangely, they didn’t shed a single drop of blood.
Not a single person died.
All those who were pierced simply despaired at the gap in power.
Their brains judged themselves dead and cut off consciousness.
Han Mi-reo withdrew the mist as if uninterested in the unconscious ones and walked steadily among the fallen.
“…Ah.”
This wasn’t the time for this.
She couldn’t be late.
If she was even a little late, everything might end in that time.
Belatedly coming to her senses, she turned her gaze away from Han Mi-reo and looked at those rushing toward her.
“…”
These were people who had called her “young lady” and served her until just a day ago.
If even one of them had shown hesitation on their face, Hikari would have spared them.
But.
‘There’s no one.’
Not a single person here.
There wasn’t a single person who hesitated to attack Hikari.
They were all filled with killing intent as they rushed toward her.
Therefore, she.
Aimed her hand without a moment’s hesitation.
[Optics – Flash]
* * *
“Easy.”
Thud.
I knocked out the person blocking my way despite trembling, dusted off my shoulders, and looked back.
Countless people sprawled on the ground.
“What the hell are they thinking?”
Just looking at status, the three of us are A-rank Hunters.
Unless you’re an A-rank Hunter, it’s impossible to block our way.
That should definitely be the case, yet among those sprawled here now, not a single one seemed to be at A-rank Hunter level.
B-rank or C-rank.
Mixed in between seemed to be D-rank Hunters as well.
‘Even among them, there were few B-ranks.’
Even among all those people, the number of B-ranks was countable on one hand.
Something was strange.
As if they were preparing something, it seemed like they hadn’t left a single person who could be considered main force.
‘Come to think of it, when they attacked the inn, there was only one who seemed useful.’
That man called Tengen or something.
Excluding him, the only somewhat useful one was the person who shot an arrow at my head.
But even that person was only at B-rank Hunter level.
In other words, they weren’t main force material.
Essentially, among the Narukami Clan people we faced, only Tengen was worthy of being considered main force.
‘What’s the reason for stalling time like this?’
I turned my head and looked at the Narukami Clan’s manor.
Hikari had definitely said that the man called Tengen was merely the left arm.
That meant there was definitely a right arm inside there.
Yet they weren’t coming out, which meant.
‘Something is in progress.’
Either they were preparing to attack us who would soon storm the manor.
Or they were so distracted by something else that they couldn’t even do that.
The former was more likely.
But for some reason.
Why did my instincts keep pointing to the latter?
I pushed the tightly closed main gate with my hand.
Despite being an old wooden door, it opened smoothly, perhaps well-maintained.
“…”
No one was there.
I thought at least someone would be waiting.
But no one was standing behind the main gate.
Frowning, I entered beyond the gate and looked around.
“Impressive.”
Straight ahead was a path leading to the entrance.
Following the stone path to the right, a garden with neatly arranged pine trees came into view.
The left side was also a garden, but instead of pine trees, clear water was flowing with a gentle babbling sound.
Extremely peaceful, yet utterly alien atmosphere.
Feeling Rai and Hikari’s presence approaching from behind, I took a deep breath and opened the entrance door.
The door opened with a creaking sound.
And the moment the closed door opened, I had no choice but to freeze with wide eyes.
“This is…!”
The moment I opened the door, I felt it.
Magi.
Sticky magi was flowing out from deep within the manor.
So they were doing something after all.
Clicking my tongue, I quickly rushed into the entrance.
At that moment.
[Downward Strike]
A sword thrust through the wall swung down toward my head.
Reacting quickly, I twisted my body and struck the descending sword with my fist.
‘This is different.’
Unlike those who had been outside the manor until now, the one who just swung the sword was a skilled fighter of A-rank or higher.
As expected, the real ones were inside.
I regained my disrupted balance and swung my foot, smashing through the wall.
“Kugh!?”
The black-haired man revealed himself from beyond the wall.
Seeing the man floating backward from the shock of the wall being destroyed, I rotated my body half a turn and drew an arc with my opposite foot.
[Mist – Mist Blade ]
Blades of mist rushed toward the floating man.
The man, possessing A-rank level strength, deflected the mist blades using his sword.
As expected, he won’t go down easily.
But that doesn’t matter.
Why?
“…My weapon!”
Whether he deflects or blocks.
There’s only one chance to endure.
He probably thought he successfully deflected it, but cracks had formed in his blade.
The fractured sword lost its function and fell to the floor as fragments.
I kicked off the ground and struck the man’s side with my fist.
“Kugh-!”
Thud, thoom, thud!
The man flew through the air, bouncing off the ground like a skipping stone.
After rolling and flying across the ground several times, the man finally stopped when he crashed into a wall.
“…”
The wall crumbled down with rising dust.
I leaped without hesitation toward the dozen hunters who had been waiting beyond it.
“Kill him!”
I don’t know what they’re trying to do, but I’ll crush them thoroughly.
Pulling up the corners of my mouth, I roughly thrust forward the fist I had drawn back.
