“This is no time to be stuck here, Dark Dance!”
Ark used Dark Dance to broke through the crowd like a ghost until he reached the central plaza. Bosaga was more like a city than a village. Fortunately, the central plaza wasn’t far from the Magic Institute and he reached the ferris wheel after 10 minutes of using Dark Dance. But the problem was after he arrived. There were even more crowds gathered around the ferris wheel. He had to find a him. But…..finding one person was like looking for a needle in a desert.
“Summon Demon, Dedric!”
“You called, Master?” Eh? A festival!”
Racard exclaimed with joy as he saw the dazzling sights.
“I didn’t call you here to play! Use satellite mode to look for Buksil!”
“Sheesh, so it’s like that….. I understand.”
Racard grunted and turned into a bat before trying to fly away. Racard was suddenly discovered by children and they swarmed around him and tugged at Racard.
“Aw, a bat!”
“It is a bat!”
“Hahaha, how marvellous. Bat, come over here!”
“Get away you rude things! I’m not a bat but a great vampire…… Ouch! Tickle, it tickles! Ugh, ouch! These damn kids….. Ouch!”
“Hahaha, this is great! If I press its stomach then it talks.”
“Fun, how fun! Let’s play with it!”
The children grabbed his wings and just laughed as Racard wriggled. Ark was impatient and was about to approach the children.
“Ah, Ark-nim!”
Then he heard Buksil’s voice again. It was a vivid voice coming from near him, not the eyeball. Ark hurriedly stopped and turned towards the voice. But no matter how he looked, he couldn’t find Buksil. Then he saw a big dog running and jumping among the rides. And a round object that resembled a balloon jumped up and waved its hand.
“Over here, here!”
‘What the? That guy…..?’
Ark stared at the round object with an astounded expression. The rounded balloon shaped person was Buksil. He was wearing polka dot clothes with a variety of ribbons hanging off him. In addition, he was wearing speckled makeup under his hat. It was the same costume that clowns wore. Buksil and Baekgu were wearing a couple clown look.
‘He seems to have gotten a bit heavier.’
While Ark have been suffering in Ciel, Buksil and Baekgu had been enjoying the festival. In order to protect Buksil, Ark had rushed and paid the expensive letter movement fee so he felt anger well up at the sight.
‘Damn, if it wasn’t for the memory crystal…..’
At that time, he saw mobs of thieves behind Buksil and Baekgu.
“Ah, Ark-nim, hik!”
‘The thieves! To hold a sword so openly in a village……’
Usually taking out swords in a village would be punished by the guards. Even if there weren’t guards present, the eyes of users and NPCs would be concentrated on them. But there were people dressed up and running round holding toy knives in the festival. So there wasn’t anybody who thought that the thieves were strange for holding swords. The thieves were even holding masks. If nobody died from a battle then the guards wouldn’t move.
‘Dammit, this is bad.’
Ark broke through the crowd and ran towards Buksil.
“M-Master, what are you doing? Ouch, these damn guys…… Ouch!”
Racard who was caught by the children screamed from behind him and Ark didn’t have time to worry about that. By overusing Dark Dance, he was able to penetrate the crowd and got near Buksil. Meanwhile, Buksil and Baekgu ran between people while sweating. They were chased by the bandit group.
“Okay, I can reach them before the thieves catch up. Summon Demon, Razak!”
Clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack!
“Take the defense position and prepare for the enemy’s attack!”
Ark spread a safety net and made a defense camp with Razak. Now the top priority was to help Buksil escape. Even if he joined Buksil, it would be difficult to escape when surrounded by dozens of thieves. Especially with the enormous crowds gathered in the vicinity. Until Ark, the thieves wouldn’t care about other users and NPCs and would attack without care. Fighting a battle in a place like this would be absolutely disadvantageous. That was the reason why Ark created a safety net where only three people could pass. Ark would block the entrance after Buksil and Baekgu arrived. Although there were 30 thieves, only 2~3 people could enter through the entrance. If he used the terrain then he might be able to be time for Buksil to escape to a safe place. Even if the guards would move when the battle fully began, it would be difficult with the thieves chasing directly. Ark planned a strategy and raised his voice.
“Buksil, over here! You have to come over here!”
“Yes. U-understood. Baekgu!”
At Buksil’s order, Baekgu leaped over some obstacles and run towards Ark.
‘That’s it! There’s enough time to get that back from Buksil…..’
Ark took out his sword and watched as Buksil and Baekgu arrived.
“Ark-nim, I’m saved…… Huh? Huh huh huh huh? Waaaaaahhhhhhh!”
“Huk, Master!”
Buksil who had been running with tears in his eyes when he suddenly dangled from something. Had the thieves caught up to him? Buksil shrank with fear and struggled. Baekgu realised too late and hit the emergency brakes before running back to Baekgu. Then Buksil was dragged sideways as the thing he was stuck to moved at an extraordinary speed.
“What, what the?”
Ark and the chasing thieves just stared simultaneously with a dumb expression. They were looking at a small wagon moving along the rails spread all around Bosaga at a tremendous rate. What on earth was this? Ark looked around with confusion until he saw a big sign.
【High Speed Barrel Train!】
An ambitious ride prepared by the Bosaga festival committ
Able to travel at 300 kilometres per hour thanks to the magical engine, it is Bosaga’s state of the art magic carriage racing! With 100% safety equipment, it is possible to enjoy the exhilarating sense of speed!
* Because the vehicle is moving at 300 kilometres per hour, it is dangerous to go on the rail.
It was the information on the sign next to the safety net. Buksil’s clothes had been caught on the carriage and he disappeared as it moved. In addition, the place Buksil was caught was the rear of the magic carriages.
Therefore Baekgu and Buksil had become a part of the ride and moved along the rails at 300 kilometres per hour.
“Aaaaaaaah, sssssave meeeeeee!”
“Masterrrrrrrr!”
“Dammit, we had almost caught up!”
“We can’t miss him, get out of the way!”
The thieves who had just missed Buksil and pushed users out of the way before taking a magic carriage. When a coin was inserted into the slow, they started to chase after Buksil at an extravagant speed.
“Dammit! Razak, transform!”
It wasn’t possible for Ark to just stay there. After Razak transformed into a blade, he pushed people out of the way and took the available magic carriage. The people waiting in line cursed but he had no time to pay attention to public morals. After inserting 1 gold, the carriage rumbled and departed.
Pepepepeng, pepepepeng!
Fireworks were still displayed in the night sky.
