Chapter 84 Execution Of Avengio Leader Of The Thieves
"Well, now it's just you left."
"You guys aren't ordinary..."
"So, what will you do? Surrender and tell us about the Magic Crystal, or..."
As Sicily glared, Avengio snorted unamusedly.
And then...
"You think I'll just obediently follow your orders? What a foolish question."
Grabbing the axe hanging on the wall, Avengio turned towards us.
"Don't get cocky just because you defeated some small fry."
"You have no intention of obediently following, huh?"
"Of course not!"
Avengio raised the axe and swung it down forcefully.
Sicily and I dodged to the sides and counterattacked.
I, with the Wind Spirit's Blessing, and Sicily, summoning a small golem, launched an attack on Avengio.
But...
"Kukuku. It won't work before this Magic Crystal."
Avengio was unharmed.
Looking closely, there seemed to be a barrier surrounding Avengio.
It seemed like Avengio had unleashed the power of the Magic Crystal attached to his ring.
"Here we go again. (Magic Crystal) release――"
"――tch"
Avengio swung his axe again, but this time with even greater speed than before. It must be another ability of a different Magic Crystal attached to his ring.
Dodging narrowly, I tried to trap Avengio in a cage of water using the job skill (Water Spirit's Blessing), but the water mass was nullified by the barrier.
It seems that the barrier repels even magic.
"Tch. Strengthening defense while enhancing attacks. Simple yet troublesome."
After several exchanges of offense and defense, Sicily, who had distanced herself, muttered in frustration.
"Man, I'm really surprised by this guy's power once again. With this power, I might be able to achieve my revenge."
"Revenge?"
"Hmph. Making money is one thing, but what I really want isn't just that. I have to get revenge on those Rune Gaia royal folks no matter what. Right now, it's like a preparation period for that."
Speaking of the Rune Gaia royal family, it refers to King Zeios and the princess Cress.
Avengio tightly grips the axe in his hand, his eyes filled with hatred. There's probably some kind of grudge within him...
"I was originally a soldier of the Rune Gaia kingdom. But one day, I was suddenly kicked out of the palace."
"..."
Kicked out, huh...
"I got caught by the princess for taking bribes from criminals. On that very day, I was stripped of my position as a kingdom soldier. Thanks to that, I'm now forced to live in the shadows like this."
"Well, that's your own fault. It's not just pure resentment."
"Is that so, miss? What's the difference between what I did and what the royals are doing?"
"Huh?"
"Those royal folks only see us soldiers as pawns. They sit comfortably on their thrones, living a life of luxury without any worries. So, I just wanted a taste of that good life. What's wrong with that?"
"..."
"In the end, this world is divided between those who use and those who are used. You can't always cater to the weak. That's why I want to be the one doing the using."
Avengio shrugged without remorse.
Certainly, there are people among the royals who are like that. Well, maybe "were" is more accurate.
But...
I took a breath and declared,
"Don't compare someone like you to Cress."
"Huh? Did you say something?"
"Seeking revenge without even experiencing the unreasonableness? That's just ridiculous."
"What did you say?"
"I'm not the bad one, it's the people around me. As for you, you're just trying to blame others to protect yourself. You don't even try to understand others, and you want me to understand your suffering? You're not a child throwing a tantrum."
"You bastard...!"
Moreover, he was still using the young Rick for his own purposes. Showing hope and making him follow along...
That is absolutely unforgivable.

Target: Avengio Walrus
Execution Coefficient: 75722 points
====================
――Well, that's how it is.
I confirm the displayed Execution Coefficient and focus my consciousness on my right hand.
I caught a glimpse of Sicily, who had a slight smile on her lips.
"(Magic Scythe Igurima), Summon――"
"What's that?"
After a dark and ominous magical power swept through, a jet-black scythe was gripped in my hand.
"Now..."
I kicked off the ground in an instant, closing the distance to Avengio.
"(Shatter, Igurima)――"
As I swung Igurima down, there was a sound like something breaking as it destroyed the axe Avengio was holding.
"No way!?"
"It's over, you scum."
I punched Avengio in the unprotected abdomen, sending him flying.
"Ugh, agh...!"
Creating a large hole in the wall, Avengio's face contorted in pain.
As I approached and looked down, his expression changed from pain to fear.
"Execution completed――"
