#141. Amon Family (1)
Merchants gathered on one side of the market chattered as they watched the hooded boy disappear into the distance.
“You seem like a little kid who doesn’t know anything.”
“Shouldn’t I have told you? That you’re doing something extremely dangerous right now.”
A moment ago, the object the hooded boy pulled out along with the question was a black card.
Two of them, too.
“Where should I go if I want to change the pattern of this card?”
The merchants were startled when they saw the card and all mumbled their answers.
“Uh, we don’t know about that.”
“That’s right. We’re just guys who sell stuff.”
The Nostra Clan of the North.
The Amon family of the East.
The bitter conflict between the two groups was known to everyone in the black market.
In particular, it was impossible not to know about the recent mass deaths of card technicians.
A street vendor spoke restlessly.
“I have to tell you something. If you don’t want to get in trouble, get out of here quickly.”
The moment you are about to take a step.
widely!
Others immediately grabbed his arms.
“Is this guy crazy? What if he gets involved and ends up bleeding? Just pretend you didn’t see it.”
“That’s right. Don’t be a jerk. Amon’s kids are really sensitive these days.”
The one chasing the boy had no rebuttal.
Because he knew it too.
That life is too busy to do good deeds without caring about what others think.
Without being affected by circumstances.
An act of pure kindness.
Such a thing would only be possible for children who were still unspoiled by the world.
“… … .”
The man, whose burden was too much to bear, could only watch.
The boy disappearing across the market,
With complicated and apologetic eyes.

“Eat it and you’ll become stronger! Selling a mysterious panacea that will help you live to be 200 years old!”
‘You can live to be 200 years old?’
Ray instinctively turned his head back.
I walked quickly, consciously trying not to hear the surrounding sounds.
‘… It’s about time for a response to come.’
It had been 20 minutes since I had been asking around about the cards at the Amon Family’s main activity area.
If it’s short, it’s a short time.
However, considering the size of the organization, which numbered about two or three hundred people, and the system that would inevitably accompany it, it seemed like there would be enough time for reports to be sent up to higher-ups.
Actually, there were several instances where I observed this closely and then heard it disappear.
‘But there’s no response, yet.’
Maybe I should be more proactive in appealing.
“Selling a loudspeaker that will ring out loud to the next numbered sector!”
“How much is that loudspeaker….”
Just as I was about to ask the price.
Jeokbuk─ Jeokbuk─ Jeokbuk─
I detected multiple figures approaching at high speed.
They weren’t just pedestrians.
It was an approach with clear intentions.
‘It doesn’t seem like one force.’
Excitement, thrill, joy.
The jewel’s mana, which resonated with the boy’s emotions, quickly spread throughout his body.
Crackle- Crackle-
A faint electric current flowed over the skin.
It was a natural phenomenon because the purity of mana was so high.
3 weeks in sector 46.
Ray spent all his time focusing entirely on manipulating the gem’s mana, which allowed him to form quite a rapport.
In other words.
The absolute amount of mana that can be used at one time has increased.
At least twice as much as before.
Of course, the point that you have to focus only on using the jewel’s mana has not changed.
Even taking that into account, it was true that combat power had increased dramatically.
For the general public, it doesn’t matter how many people rush in at once.
The variable is only the same wizard.
Ray’s calculation was that it wouldn’t pose any threat unless there were multiple 2nd circles, or skilled 3rd or 4th circles.

“I’ll pass by.”
Ray pushed his way through the crowd and entered the alley.
He kept walking around the alley, keeping a certain distance from the pursuing group so that they wouldn’t lose him.
widely.
At the end, we arrived at a deep empty space.
It was an empty lot with multiple entrances.
Not long after stopping in the center, a swarm of muscular men came rushing into the same place they had just entered.
“Hey kid, let me see you for a minute.”
“I saw earlier that your wallet seemed a bit thick.”
The repertoire of those who chase after someone with dark emotions never changed.
but.
‘I can’t really see the tattoo.’
The four major organizations said that their affiliations could be identified through tattoos engraved in exposed locations.
But these were not the ones.
Back of the hand, forearm, nape of the neck, forehead, inside the nose, etc.
There were no tattoos anywhere.
The story of a back alley gangster group unrelated to the Amon family.
‘The tough guys are chasing me.’
Then the second group that had been chasing Ray poured in through the opposite entrance.
The number was the same as the gang of 10, but the age range was clearly different.
In the mid-teens.
Until the early 20s.
It was composed of a wide range of people, mostly relatively young and of young age.
There were also ring holders mixed in.
2 circles in one circle, 1 circle in four.
The moment he realized that fact, the sparks flying around Ray became stronger.
“Ah, it’s Amon’s little ones!”
“Hey, shit! I was trying to grab it quickly when no one was there to touch it. What are you doing! Get out! Get back!”
The gangsters fled in panic as soon as they saw the new group.
Amon’s little ones.
The voice of a Nostra Clan member played in Ray’s head.
“Why, there are. Those brats in the Amon family. They’re wizards too… .”
“… … .”
The new group that appeared didn’t have any particular tattoos, but based on the circumstances, it seemed that they were part of the Amon family.
Ray pulled away.
“Are you the Amon Family?”
I was expecting a fight, but it wasn’t necessarily a fight.
His sole purpose is to meet the upper echelons of the Amon family and make contact with the card technicians.
If the conversation was successful, there was no reason to waste unnecessary energy.
“If you are the Amon Family, I would like to meet with your superiors and have a talk.”
No answer came back.
The crowd was looking at a girl among them, as if waiting for instructions.
‘Is that kid the leader?’
It was a girl who looked to be around the same age as me.
A brown-covered book in hand.
Dark blue hair that reaches down to her waist.
And the only 2 circles among the group.
Her face had no expression at all, giving her a doll-like appearance.
… … .
… … .
In the suffocating silence.
A girl holding a book at chest height spread her palms─
Sararak.
─The moment the book opens to both sides.
Taang─!
The two people in the first circle at the very front kicked their seats and rushed in.
A rapidly narrowing distance.
Wedge─! Wedge─! Wedge─!
Fists equipped with iron knuckles swung like a storm, targeting Ray’s face, stomach, and limbs.
‘Body strengthening magic, close range magicians.’
Ray also used strengthening magic by drawing up red mana.
Muscles twitching.
The pupils were dilated.
My heart started pounding faster.
Wedge─! Wedge─!
A fist that can’t even brush the collar.
A look of bewilderment crossed the enemies’ faces.
At the moment when Ray was about to take out his knife and respond.
“… … .”
I found something.
10 opponents’ bowls in the empty lot.
Black mana, no malice was shown.
To be precise, it did exist, but its volume was extremely small.
There was no murderous intent.
Unlike the gangsters before.
It’s the level of desire to subdue an opponent by hitting them a lot.
The two people in front of me were the same.
Technically, he was swinging his fists as hard as he could, but his mentality towards combat was passive.
Ray knew very well when this aspect most often appeared.
‘When you are forced to move by someone’s orders.’
The hand that was trying to take the knife out of his pocket went into his bag instead.
And then, what was heard there was this.
“What, a book?”
“This is crazy…!”
It was a huge book.
With a red leather belt wrapped around it.
The tension between the enemies increased rapidly.
We all have learned from our teachers.
There is a type of magic that is said to amplify its power through long spells written in books.
An order that thick…!
How powerful is this magic!
The moment when everyone thinks so.
Hoooow──!
Cromwell’s envoy split the air.
Boom──!
“Ah …
One of the enemies grabbed my shoulder and rolled me to the ground.
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
“Wh, what kind of magic is that?”
“Bone, bone shattered in one go.”
“Could it be ancient magic from the olden days…!”
The one remaining boy who is still engaged in close combat with Ray─
Hoooow──!
─He screamed loudly while avoiding the bloody weapon with cold sweat.
“Magic is Musuem! You just swung it! You idiots!”
Strictly speaking, metallization magic was used.
So the current dictionary was just a lump of iron that would hurt quite a bit if hit.
Hoooow──!
“This crazy kid! I feel like I’m going to die from being hit by a book, not a knife or a gun! Where are you going to go and get beaten up so badly you can’t even speak!”
I didn’t kill him though.
After I die, I won’t be able to speak anyway.
Ray thought so and silently swung the dictionary at his opponent.
‘He’s probably a year or two younger than me. Maybe fourteen or fifteen.’
His skills weren’t bad.
Although he was still small because he hadn’t fully grown yet, he seemed to have been training hard and didn’t appear to be tired even with intense movements.
The skill with which he swung his fists and dodged attacks was evidence of his familiarity with street fighting.
There is even a sense of controlling the output of strengthening magic whenever necessary.
‘That’s pretty good.’
It feels like the lack of mana in Circle 1 is being covered by other elements.
Also, judging from the fact that they have the same hair and eye color, they appear to be siblings of the leader girl who is in the middle of fusing elements on the other side.
‘What kind of magic is that kid preparing? What element is he using…?’
At that moment, Ray felt his interest growing more and more.
A lump of blue mana fell from the girl’s hand like a tear.
The moment it hits the floor.
Jjeong──!
Ice crystals bloomed.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk──!
The ice floor that had been created in an instant began to rush fiercely towards Ray.
It was as if someone transparent was rushing forward, creating a rink of ice.
Ray’s attention shifted completely from the boy to the girl.
Increases the output of reinforcement magic.
Phew!
I swatted away the flying knuckles with all my might, as if I was chasing away bugs.
Kaang─!
“… … !”
The opposing boy flew through the air.
Kuung─!
He hit the wall of the vacant lot, slid down, and passed out.
In the meantime.
Tsk tsk tsk─!
The ice road was right in front of us.
Ray ran across the empty lot, tensing his leg muscles.
Ta-da-da-dak─!
Tsk tsk tsk─!
The ice road pursued us at a fast pace like an agile snake.
From the way the junk on the path froze over, it was easy to predict what would happen the moment it was caught.
Ray distracted himself for a moment.
I tried to break the bonds of the elements that make up the ice road.
‘It’s not working after all.’
Is this really Circle 2?
Although the ice element has a much higher cohesive power than other elements, the level of perfection of the magic itself was high even without that.
but.
Tsk tsk tsk─!
‘The response is too slow.’
I couldn’t shake the feeling that the operation of the magic was immature compared to its perfection.
The ice road seemed to turn a beat later each time it turned.
“… … .”
Ray turned his gaze.
I thought as I watched the girl concentrating so intently on casting her magic.
that.
That’s not how you do it.
Elements gathered around Ray’s hand.
They were exactly the same types of elements the girl had used.
