Vol 1 Chapter 9 (2/2)

I don’t think there would be more problems.

(……一I must settle this in an instant.)

I peeped into Mark’s tent from the hole.

Mark seems to be deep asleep now.

I can see it from the psychology graph. The consciousness level was considerably low, he was in a state called non-REM sleep.

In other words, he was in a state where he can’t wake up quickly.

I grasped the blackjack and the bucket of animal glue once more in my hand.

I could see that my hands were trembling.

(Calm down, I can see someone in the dark. They won’t see me since it’s dark so everything should be alright.)

I entered Mark’s tent while trying to convince myself that it was ok.

The interior was bigger than the warehouse as expected.

I was worried that he would wake up from the smell of the animal glue in my hands if I approached.

But Mark was sleeping soundly.

I looked around the area and confirmed there aren’t any traps.

(…… Wait, there’s a trip wire alarm.)

Trip wire alarm.

It was a primitive trap that will sound off a clanking sound if I pulled the wire.

It was totally invisible in the dark.

I would have certainly tripped it if it wasn’t for the Appraisal Skill.

Mark seems to really have thought about someone entering unannounced.

While thinking that was regrettable, I snuck up beside Mark.

It was good that his sleeping face was exposed.

Now, I will cover his face with the cloth.

(It’s time.)

I pushed away the weapon Mark uses for self-defense.

Even if he rampage, he won’t be able to fight back since he doesn’t have a weapon.

I could see Mark drawing a big breath.

I placed the bucket I had in my hand on the ground, and soaked the cloth

I almost dropped the cloth instinctively because it was hot, but I endured it.

After Mark exhaled that big breath.

(NOW!)

I covered his face before he could draw another breath.

I jumped up and sat on top of his face.

“!!”

It was only after I sat down on his face that Mark noticed something was wrong.

I immediately went after his crotch with the hot animal glue.

“ーーmmhhp!!”

Suddenly, his body immediately curled like a shrimp and was writhing in pain.

I moved his pliable body as he was about to faint in an unpleasant way.

I then hammered his crotch with the blackjack.

Mark curled his body again to protect his crotch while you could hear “mhmp! mhmp!” leaking out.

He repeatedly hit me with both of his hands but he couldn’t breathe and he seemed to be in a lot of pain.

I was not daunted at all.

The tiles were protecting my body.

“ーーーhmp!!”

Now, he changed tactics and used his nails to claw his way through.

Even if I don’t do anything, he will only scratch at my clothes as if he was trying to peel them off.

I mustered all my strength in pinning him down as this was the crucial moment.

I whacked his solar plexus with the blackjack.

Since I was aware that he might kick me, I whacked his crotch again.

Eventually, Mark really attempted to kick me as his foot struggled.

I defended all his kicks with the blackjack.

A sandbag was a convenient tool to use for defense.

Finally, he was almost about to die.

Mark grabbed my clothes with surprising strength.

He grabbed me so tightly as if he wants to bring me down to h.e.l.l together with him.

But at the next moment.

Mark scratched my face and I seemed to hear something from him.

I almost screamed from the pain.

Somehow, there was a small gash on my face.

I pretended to be tough by gritting my teeth as I stall for time.

It worked effectively.

My vision was blurred by my tears.

Mark wasn’t moving anymore.

He left me scratch marks.

They said old people are clever.

I’m thinking nonsense now.

I was petrified for a while due to the lingering feeling and couldn’t move at all.
