The Author is an Extra, The MC is a Reincarnator-Chapter 54 Fake Artifacts [4]

"Hey! What are you doing!" One of the Awakeners who looked in our direction shouted. He was around C-Rank Awakener, I guess. He looked like any normal guy that could be found anywhere. Maybe I should greet him as we were both Extras? I guess no, Vincent had a more important role than him.

"Not your business." Park Injun said calmly, but his voice was transmitted to everyone in the area. "Go away if you don't want to get involved in this."

As I looked at the situation, I put the [Arash Bow] back inside my magic bag. The rest of the Awakeners inside the nightclub ran outside after they heard the loud explosion from the back. Some of them were still looking at us, but those with quick wit ran away right after they felt Park Injun's Mana.

Those Awakeners who ran away were mostly the ones who were sensitive to Magic. Park Injun erased the whirlwind around us and began to flare his pure Mana, oppressing the Awakeners in front of the nightclub.

"I will count to three. If you don't run after I am done counting, then don't blame me if you get caught up in my Magic." He pointed his wand in the direction of the nightclub.

The Mana that he flared began to condense around the gem on top of his wand, creating a red light, the sign that he used Fire Attribute Mana, and he began counting. "One!"

He intended to blow the nightclub away even though I only asked him to make some noise. But it did work. The Awakeners in front of the nightclub began to yell and scream in horror. C-Rank Awakeners who visited the 'Awaken Night' nightclub were not the enemy of Park Injun.

The higher Rank Awakeners wouldn't visit such a nightclub in Los Angeles. They would choose Las Vegas nightclubs because the facility and the drink there were way better than this place. The price was also astronomically high though.

Anyway, it was my turn to find Raymond. I took out [Horus' Sunglasses] and activated its special effect, [Horus Eyes] Mighty Eyes. I chose my left eye as the target of the effect. As soon as I activated the effect, my left eye stopped working. My vision was cut in half; it was a bit strange as I was not used to it.

But, a second later, from my left eye, I could see Raymond sitting in the corner of a room filled with Fake Artifacts ranging from weapons to paintings, terrified. His subordinates were also walking around the room; their faces were pale and twisted in horror as some of them pulled their hair in fear. The room was located underground in the nightclub, right below the roof that I destroyed.

After just a second, my left eye couldn't see anything again; only black filled my vision. I shut it down and chuckled a little. The information about Raymond's location was like being sent straight to my brain, and I still remember the details and the path that I should take to get to that location.

This was the special effect of [Horus' Sunglasses]. It would blind one of my eyes, in this case, my left eye, for three days. But as a result, I could see where my target was. A convenient ability. I already knew where Raymond and his subordinates were located, but I used this chance to test the effect of this Artifact.

There was no harm in trying the Artifact now, as Zaiden was still recovering, and I had nothing to do except attend Academy and use Mana Breathing to train myself in the next three days.

'Well, I now know the effect and how long it lasts. A second, huh? But the information about my target's location is being sent to my brain. That's enough to use [Arash Bow] special effects. After all, the arrow will hit any target as long as I know their location.'

I took off the [Horus' Sunglasses], turned to Park Injun with my left eye shut, and I put the [Horus' Sunglasses] back into my magic bag as I said, "I found him."

"That's fast. I have yet to say two. Well, you used an Artifact, so it's not surprising."

"Well yeah. Also, they already ran away, so you don't need to continue your count. I told you to make some noise, not to scare our witnesses."

There was not even a single soul in front of the nightclub. The Awakeners had run away to save their life. They were afraid of Park Injun, and couldn't handle the pressure from his Mana. So, there went our witness, gone.

"It can't be helped. I am too amazing." Park Injun mussed as he dispersed the Mana that was condensed around his wand. "But, we still have one witness over there." He pointed at the roof of a building around a hundred meters away from here.

Even with just one eye, I could see the shadow of a person standing on the roof of the building that Park Injun pointed at. When I saw that person, I raised my eyebrows in surprise. How could I not be surprised? One of the Six Devas of the Association who should be managing A-Rank Dungeon was standing there, looking at us with his scary face.

Not only that, the one who was standing there was the one who was called the Mad Dog of the Association, the most loyal person to the Association's leader, Mark. That man had spiky hair and was known as Jaro.

'Why is he here?'

He seemed to notice that we were looking at him as his mouth moved. I tried to read his lips movement and caught him saying something toward us. "Don't make a mess, huh?" I repeated in a low voice.

"Hmm? You know that person?" Park Injun asked.

"Yeah. But as you said, he will serve as a good witness." I answered him.

One of the Six Devas was in Los Angeles. What caused it? Was he here for Chloe? But why didn't he make any move until now? This was dangerous. An irregular factor suddenly popped up at an unexpected time. I was not ready to deal with him. I was still too weak.

"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go."

That was right. For now, I should focus on the heist. Jaro said nothing except 'Don't make a mess.' That meant he allowed us to do whatever we wanted to do as long as we didn't bring the others into our mess. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

Such confidence, even in front of Park Injun, S-Rank Awakener, should be praised. As expected from the Mad Dog of the Association.

"Alright. We need to enter through the hole that I made. They are underground, and the entrance is the secret room which I blew earlier."

"Good. That means I can torture them without any worry. Their voices will not leak outside if it's underground."

"Do as you please, but let me finish looting their piggy bank first."

"I don't mind. Take my money back while you are at it."

We jumped down the roof and made our way to the nightclub. We entered through the hole that I made on their roof. The room that we entered was small, around 3x3 meters. It had no door or window, and there was not even a single piece of furniture; truly a secret room. The walls of the room were painted in a checkered pattern of black and white, like a chess board.

This room could only be entered through a certain means because the real entrance was an enhanced hidden door.

In the novel, Zaiden accidentally found the entrance by following Raymond, but I didn't need to do that here. Why bother finding the secret entrance when I could make another entrance myself? I didn't need to fear anything because I had a reliable ally.

Zaiden couldn't make a mess because there were many Awakeners who visited the nightclub. There were even Raymond's subordinates who acted as securities in the nightclub. They were at least D or C-Rank Awakeners, and Raymond himself was a B-Rank Awakener.

'But most of them had fled because they were scared, leaving only a few D-Rank Awakeners who worked in the secret room behind.'

However, even though we managed to enter this secret room, the entrance to the underground was also hidden. That didn't hinder me a bit, though. I knew the way to open the entrance to the underground.

"What now?" Park Injun asked. "Do you know how to get to the underground? Or should I blow the ground and bury them?" He said playfully as he created a fireball on top of his palm.

"If you do that, I will not be able to loot them." I shrugged my shoulders at his joke and walked to the corner of the room. I traced my hand at the corner of the room until I found a bump hidden behind a black cloth at one of the checkered patterns.

"Found it." I pulled the cloth and found a small button embedded into the wall behind it. I pressed the button, and the earth began to move.

Squeak– Dododo–

A path to the underground appeared in the middle of the room as the secret door was opened. Park Injun looked at the newly made staircase from the front, which led to the underground, and said.

"Hidden button, huh? But, how careless of them. Placing the button behind a simple cloth."

I approached him and stopped on his side as I looked down the stairs.

"They are confident that their hideout will not be found. I guess that's the reason why they put the hidden button in such a place?"

The path was narrow, but not too narrow to the point I couldn't use my sword. I just couldn't use my bow in this place because I would be attacked before I was able to attack my enemy, so I pulled out the iron sword that I bought from the Awakener Sword and held it tightly in my right hand.

"Please cover me. There are around five people underground, and each one of them is at least D-Rank Awakeners. Someone frail like me will just be killed immediately if I fight all of them at once."

"Say someone who reached D-Rank in just a month when the other needs at least a year to get to D-Rank."

"Well, even so, I am just a D-Rank. Anyway, are you ready?"

Park Injun tapped the tip of his wand against the floor.

Tak!

"I am."

His wand let out a blue glow, and he created a barrier around my body. From just the amount of Mana he used to create the barrier around me, I estimated it could block five serious attacks from A-Rank Awakener.

Even though he said some sarcasm, he still protected me with his Magic. To be honest, I was a bit worried about fighting against humans.

Before I transmigrated, I was just a simple author who always stayed in my room, writing novels. But, I knew to survive in this world, I needed to kill humans in the future.

In this world where the strong would survive, I should adapt and not hesitate.

"Let's go. It's time to kill some scammers."

'It's time to kill some scammers. Do your best, my Trait. I will be counting on you to keep me sane. So deceive yourself, Vincent. You are strong, and you should be okay with killing humans.'

I went downstairs as I gripped my sword tighter. Park Injun followed me right from behind.

While we were walking downstairs, I kept deceiving myself.

'You are the one who created this fucking wrecked world. So adapt yourself to the world, and kill your enemy. This is just a quest, an event. You will get money after you kill your enemy, so don't hesitate.'

I tried my best to smile under my mask, but my hand that held the sword was shaking. Pak Injun noticed it and asked. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

"Are you okay?"

"..."

I didn't answer him. Instead, I kept doing the same thing as before inside my mind as I walked down step by step.

'I am basically the one who created this world, the author. I have killed many, hundreds, thousands people in this wrecked world of mine with just my fingers. Killing some other extras won't change anything. It's just… the method is different one.'

After a while, I saw the exit of the stairway. At that point, I was done deceiving myself. My hands stopped shaking and I muttered in a low voice. "I am ready."
