Chapter 17 - Episode 17 – Abzuru Doom Remnant 3

Scene: At Dreyja White Moon Base Location

A hooded man slowly walks toward their base.

On the back of his hood is the seal of his clan.

Two Dreyja members appear from somewhere.

Dreyja Member 1:

Who are you? I guess you're going to the wrong place.

Hooded Man:

I think that too. May I ask a question, gentlemen?

Dreyja Member 1:

Go, then… go in the other direction.

This place is strictly prohibited for the public.

Hooded Man:

Sure, gentlemen, but I want to ask about a miraculous pill—

they call it the Abdzu… Violet Pill,

something like that—if it's available with you.

I have golden money here.

He shows a large amount of gold coins.

Dreyja Member 2:

You!! How do you know this place!!

(Trying to attack with a knife)

Dreyja Member 1:

Wait!! You can buy, but that's not enough.

How do you know this place?

Your life depends on your answer!

Hooded Man:

On Miuro Territory, a small clan territory.

There are secret black markets in that territory.

If you want more, I have more coins.

Here. (Showing more gold coins)

Dreyja Member 1:

Uuhh… that's enough. Follow me.

Open the gate! (there are two more guards)

Dreyja Member 1:

We are in a state of panic right now.

I hope this transaction ends quickly.

Hooded Man:

No problem. Your connection in Miuro already told me

that you're always on high alert.

Dreyja Member 1:

Also, you need to show your full identity

after the purchase.

Hooded Man:

Yes, no worries.

Dreyja Member 1:

Your hood design… that looks quite familiar.

I think it's from a famous clan, but I can't remember.

Hooded Man:

Haha… thank you. You'll know after our transaction.

 

Scene change: Inside the City of Danjurro – At the Job House

Cola, wearing a hood and yellow beach shorts, asks inside.

Cola:

Hello, miss. Can I ask about Level-B job requirements?

Narration:

Although Cola already knows the requirements for a B-level job,

he's kind of livening up the surroundings and breaking the silence.

That's why the other martial artists in the Job House want to see him

every day.

Teen Woman, Employee 1:

You must be at least 15 years old.

You must have a group of at least three members.

Chubby Woman, Employee 2:

We know you… You're Cola, you were involved

in that robbery last month, right?

And you're quite an old member here!

Are you intentionally disturbing us?

Cola:

Hey! You're judgmental! I cleared my name last month!

A little flashback scene:

Some robbers with curly hair are running

inside the city.

Martial artists are rushing, chasing them…

Coincidentally, Cola is on the same streets.

But what's wrong is, Cola runs also

when he sees the martial artists approaching…

Cola:

It turns out their hair was fake, just wigs!

They are a group of crazy people trying to disguise like that…

Teen Woman, Employee 1:

Oh, how unlucky of you, Mister Cola…

Cola:

Yeah, yeah… that's right…

Chubby Woman, Employee 2:

That face? It's suspicious…

Teen Woman, Employee 1 (smirking):

Hehehe…

Suddenly, on Cola's back, a Teen swordsman also steps forward.

Teen Swordsman:

Miss, this Level-B Job… may I get more information?

Cola (curious):

Ooww… Level B…

Chubby Woman:

Do you have a companion, mister?

Teen Swordsman:

Yes, I have one… There he is at the table.

A thin man in his mid-30s, his body showing signs of a rare cold disease.

Though he's 36–37, his face looks almost 60.

Chubby Woman:

Ah, yeah, Mister Rudy.

Rudy (talking from a distance):

That youth is new to this territory.

Chubby Woman:

Until now, I'm amazed by your enhancing skill.

Don't worry, I think this boy has a good personality

compared to this curly-haired guy.

Cola (smiling):

Hmm, B-level...

Teen Woman, Employee 1:

Here is the information, mister…

Teen Swordsman:

Thank you, miss…

Cola (curiously sneaking a look):

Red Mantranta Snake…

(Loudly):

Ohh!! I know that giant snake!

This is a twist of fate, gentlemen… we're three now!!

Master Hobu appears…

Hobu:

Miss, can you seal this before we go…

And we will leave that contract to you.

For safety, please…

Cola (thinking):

I know this old man!

Cola (curious again, reading the paper):

Level S Job… reward 250,000 gold coins…

Whaaaat!! (shout)

Chubby Woman (shouting):

Hey!! You robber!! Get out of here!!

Teen Swordsman:

That's a huge amount… even if you stop working,

it's enough to last until old age.

But an S-level job puts your life on the line…

Cola:

Hey, Grandpa, can I be an assistant on that mission?

Rudy:

Hey, Curly! You said a minute ago that you'd go

with us, right?..

Besides, that job is a life-and-death mission…

Hobu:

Curly brother, maybe in the next few years.

Let's go, gentlemen. Thank you, miss…

And oh, Rudy! It's nice meeting you, my friend! Hahaha!

Cola (thinking about his younger siblings):

Level S… I can't bet my life on that.

Narration:

Cola, despite his unlucky and comedic happenings in life,

has a vast knowledge. He's always curious about rumors.

That's why his curiosity always leads to positive outcomes,

despite getting into trouble because of it.

Scene change: At Dreyja White Moon Base Location

Dreyja Member, actively leader:

This is our pills. They are only limited.

In the next few days, we will be contacting our supplier…

Hooded Man:

Wow… it's true like the rumors.

The flowing violet fragrance… it gives you temptation…

Dreyja Member, actively leader:

Hahaha! Of course!

Hooded Man:

So how many pills can I get with my money now?

Dreyja Member, Active Leader:

I'll give you only one.

Each costs 2,000 gold coins,

but your money, I guess, is almost 2,000.

Hooded Man:

Wow… it's so pricey, brother.

Dreyja Member, actively leader:

It's natural. Rich people want this badly…

Then, in a sudden instant, a long-haired man appears in the air.

Long-haired Man:

I want that too…

Dreyja Member:

Hey! Who are you?!

In an instant, the long-haired man cuts off the acting leader's head

with a hair string–like energy weapon.

Dreyja Members (panicking):

Boss… there's an enemy outside!!

Another strong figure outside the base.

Muscular Hooded Man:

Hmm… it's a bit large for a base of robbers and criminals.

But the location isn't bad.

(hearing voice):

Seven, get all the pills. Kill all the members.

Burn them all and all possible evidence,

including their base and area.

Muscular Hooded Man:

Okay…

Men, check the area if there are other members.

Muscular Hooded Man (thinking):

30 more of them are here. This is easy.

Scene change: Inside the base

Long-haired man:

You… I sense you're strong. Show me your face!

Black string claws!!

Slashes with string-like weapons

The hooded man dodges the slashing attacks,

jumping and destroying the ceiling…

The hooded man reveals black roots

in his right hand…

Long-haired man (jumping):

Ooh… Is that some kind of energy art?

Try to avoid this too… String storm!

(A whirlwind of strings strikes all around the hooded man.)

The hooded man releases black petals around himself…

Dust and explosions spread…

Energy strings break around him…

Fading out…

Long-haired Man:

Woohh! Your petals are like a barrier! Amazing! Hahaha…

Hooded man:

You… are you an Abzuru Doom member?

Long-haired man:

Is it important? You will die today…

Scene Change:

Hobu's group, consisting of nine members, 

is riding a giant lizard beast with eight wings…

four on its back, one on each foot.

Grin: Grandpa, this beast is so fast.

Rikko: Right, in less than an hour we can get to the location.

Hobu (thinking): Be careful, blue guy… we're coming…

Narration:

This weird lizard beast is called the Mantranta Eight-Winged Lizard,

living in a vast territory known as the Mantranta Islands.

In the past, the highest clans and the country enforced laws

forbidding the capture of this wild beast.

However, due to their huge numbers,

and with the fast-running modern world,

they began using this beast as an advantage

for different kinds of missions or jobs,

but very strict authorization is needed.

Mantranta Eight-Winged Lizard – Description:

A lizard-like head with a hippopotamus-like nose.

Four wings on its back, one wing on each limb.

Its tongue is exposed, and what is truly amazing is—

it has the voice of a horse.

Lizard Beast:

"Mihehehehe!!"

Grin:

But that voice—hahaha!

It's my first time riding this beast, hahaha.

Rikko:

This is my third time, young master, hehe.

Grin: Whaaat?!

Neythan:

You're new to high-level missions, Master, so it's natural.

This beast is not for civilian use.

It's an aggressive beast if not trained under strict guidance.

Scene change: Back at the Abzuru Doom member encounter

A muscular hooded man appeared:

Eight, we will kill him fast.

Time is running; we don't know

if that man has some backups."

Long-haired man:

Man, this place is far from the city.

Drink less coffee; you're getting nervous too quickly…

Muscular hooded man:

Shut up… let's fight together…

Hooded man:

You misunderstood something.

You overestimated yourselves, Abzuru fool members!

The hooded man removes his hood,

A warm, cooling presence along with black floating petals,

The wind blows his hair and hood.

Revealing a light-bluish, slightly long-haired man in his late 20s…

Rynerth Orroa, Intelligence Division Vice Head of the Danjurro Clan.

An S-level figure.

Rynerth:

You're under arrest, fools!

Dark Forest Art: Tree of Deaths…

Four black trees quickly appear in four directions around the field.

Mystical trees with black petals…

Narration (Ending):

The Abzuru Doom, thought to have been annihilated 53 years ago,

have unexpectedly resurfaced…

But something unexpected happened too—a powerful warrior they must face.

Deadly clashes continue in the next episode…
