《Reincarnation Of Third-rate Swordsman》 1 Starting Over "Ugh..." He groaned as the sword pierced through his heart. Kim Shin still couldn''t believe that he would die in the hands of his own best friends. He thought that after all of their life and death adventures, they already treat him as a family. However, he finally realized how naive he was, to think that he ludicrously trusted them. "H-How.. can you do this.. to me.. Arnold..and Hiro..?" Kim Shin asked while stuttering. Obviously already weak to speak. "Shin..I''m sorry.. if Arnold and I did not do this both Arnold''s and my family we''ll be the one in trouble" "W-what did you mean Hiro? who is behind all of this?" "It''s Arthur Rothschild" Arnold answered. "Arthur Rothschild of Rothschild family, you already know that, it''s been so long that he fancied your wife, Angelica.." Hiro took the lead to continue. "You know how powerful the Rothschild Family.. One day Arthur came with his family attendant at my family home and ordered the head of my family, that if we still want my family to co-exist with them, we must kill you, torture you or even buried you alive as long as you die, or else he will annihilate my family. As Arnold and I wanted to help you so much, but with just me and Arnold, it''s clearly not enough to face the wrath of the Rothschild family, sorry Shin." Hiro confessed as he beg, Kim Shin for forgiveness. "..I''m really sorry Shin.." Arnold was really sorry for what they have done to Kim Shin. Hearing the answer from the mouth of his two best friend Kim Shin didn''t know what to say or what to react. He''s angry but knowing that they just do this for the safety of their own family, Kim Shin can''t help but to softened a bit. However, he still can''t forgive them because, they ruthlessly betrayed him which unforgivable. Rothschild Family one of the biggest and powerful family in Yggdrasil World. Back on earth, the Rothschild Family was already rich and very powerful. Even in Yggdrasil World they are still powerful seems like wherever they are, they could stand toe to toe with hegemons. Kim Shin knew that Arthur will do anything to get his wife Angelica, that''s reason why they ran far away from civilization, far from the eyes of Rothschild Family as they hide to live a normal life. They thought that the happy moment will last forever. However, destiny was really not on their side this time. His wife Angelica got kidnapped and Kim Shin is dying by the hands of his two best friend. ''Ugh...'' Kim Shin felt that his conciousness is slowly fading. Looking at the dying Kim Shin, Arnold and Hiro ask for forgiveness and left. "Forgive us Kim Shin... Rest in peace". ''Rest in peace Heh'' Watching the fading figure of his two best friend who stab him in the back ruthlessly, Kim Shin couldn''t help but lament how naive he was. ''If there is second chance to live I won''t live like this again. I will live with everything I''ve got, without being afraid to anyone. I will control my own destiny!'' His conciousness fade away and took his last breathe. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö Beep! Beep! Beep! ''Mmh.. what is that sound..'' A lound and continous mechanical beeping sound woke up the sleeping Kim Shin and when he opened his eyes, he couldn''t help but closed his eyes once again because of the light that shone over him. After that, Kim Shin finally opened his eyes and found that he''s in a strange place. However it''s have a familiar feeling from Kim Shin. Strange because he is in his little apartment in Earth 8 years ago, he almost forgot the look of his own apartment. "Isn''t this my little apartment on earth?: Kim Shin uttered in desbelief. He couldn''t believe, since earth was already long gone, so how could he get back in his little apartment. He was baffled and confuse. Kim Shin mind was in chaos right now. As he was thinking a sudden snap happened. "Ughhhh..." An intense headache occured as his past and future memories suddenly rushed back at his head which made Kim Shin grimaced in pain. "Huff.. Huff.. Angelica.. Arthur.. I''d really travel back in time." As the pain subsided, drops of tears fell from Kim Shin eyes when he remembered his past and future. Kim Shin still could not believe at what''s happening. However, he doesn''t have any choice but to believe after he felt the intense pain, and the memories that seems like it just happened yesterday. When Kim Shin felt that the pain won''t come again, he hurriedly looked for his phone and found his old Samsung phone under his pillow on his messy single bed as he quickly looked for the date. Unlocking his phone, the current date showed up. [August 5, 2019] "Now I''m hundred percent sure that all the memories flood inside my head is highly accurate" Kim Shin murmured. He''s now hundred percent sure. Even without a date he was already sure after he found his phone, since there''s no phone ''there''. ''But how the heck this happen?'' Kim Shin is really confused and clueless as why and how this happened to him. ''I''d really travel back in time, my eight years of adventure in Another World is felt like a dream.'' As he saw the date Kim Shin remembered that on his 19th birthday one month from now, the biggest incident in earth history will happen. ''I still have one month remaining to get ready before that incident.. First, I need to check if I have enough money for a month.'' Kim Shin is from orphanage, he live as an orphan for 18 years without knowing who is his biological parents. The Owner of the orphanage named him Kim Shin, because the owner said that when Kim Shin was still a toddler he look like a korean baby though he was found before the door in one of the Orphanage''s on Philippines . After leaving the orphanage, Kim Shin found a job by the help of the Owner of orphanage and by working so hard for 11 months he got enough money to live for more than a month. ''This time I can''t be distracted as I don''t have enough time to get to work and I need to get ready for ''that'' day.'' ''I think, it''s much better if I just quit my job.'' Kim Shin dialed his manager number and call. *Kring*Kring* "Hello?" "Hello Sir. It''s me, Kim Shin." "Oh Mr. Kim Shin, what''s wrong is there any problem?" "Actually sir... I''ll just want to inform you sir that I''d plan to quit my job." "Huh, what''s wrong Mr. Kim Shin? is there any unsatisfaction in your work area? why are you suddenly want to quit?." "It''s not like that Sir. I''m really happy in my job it just... there''s something happen.. A private matter Sir. I''m really sorry and Thank you for all your help Sir. Goodbye." "Hey Mr. Kim Shin wai-" Kim Shin quickly end the call after saying his words. He''s thankful to his boss but he knew that this normal life would change soon. So, he must focus on his training and make a plan for the upcoming events. ''Now I should start with my training'' The Kim Shin in his peak power had an inhuman physique, but the Kim Shin now is only a normal human. With his body, he won''t last long in an intense training. Hence, he made a decision. A decision that would be helpful for his future. ''For one month I must train until I collapsed, because at the start of ''that'' day those who have a good foundation will have a good start unlike those who doesn''t train their body.'' He remembered that those who had training their body like their everyday routine had a better start on the first day of that ''Event''. ''With my eight years of life and death experience in Another World, even though I don''t have my old Attributes, I still have my techniques, I just need to train my body to synchronize with my movements.'' 100 push ups, 100 curl ups and 10 kilometers of running is every morning routine of Shin Kim. Kendo, Kung Fu, Boxing and other martial arts style is what he have done from afternoon through evening and he slept early everyday and also wake up early in the morning. That''s what Kim Shin did in his one month training rehabilitation. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö After One Month A man standing at the front of a mirror, look liked he just finished his work out because of sweat shown on his face and topless body. His looks is more handsome than average man because of the sharp eyebrows like a sword, pointed nose, thin red lips, a height of 1.8 meter, his manly jaw that can take lives and Black hair with a hint of blue as sky which compliment with his eyes that almost the same of starry sky in the evening. This is Kim Shin now after one month of hardcore training. Kim Shin body got buff like those body model in magazines but not like those wrestler. He''s muscle is well build now unlike before. "It will happen soon exactly at 12 noon." Kim Shin murmured as he remembered that ''event''. Looking at the time on his phone it''s already 11:50 am, Ten minutes left until that big incident. ''I should eat first'' Kim Shin remembered that the food in Another World was really expensive and anything they brought from earth would gone except what they wear at that time once they arrive in ''that'' place. So he ate a lot for the last time. After eating a hearty meal Kim Shin lay down on his bed and wait for the big incident to come. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö In the middle of the City. Like every normal day a lot of people are walking and running, rushing to their appointment when suddenly a blinding white light descend. "W-what is that light" "Waah.. mommy??... my mommy is gone..Uwahhhh" "Daaaarling where are youuuuu?" "R-Runnnnn!!!" All of them who see the white light try to run but they didn''t know that it''s all futile. The white light covered the whole Earth and quickly fade away. It was suddenly came and quickly gone along with all the humans in earth. The Earth was now void of humans. After all the human vanished. The earth slowly shake like a common earthquake but it''s not the end of it. The road cracked and the whole earth shake harder by every second until it blasted to pieces. ''BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!'' ~?~?~?~ [ WELCOME TO YGGDRASIL WORLD ] ''So I''m back again'' Kim Shin saw the blue window system with a word of welcoming, caused his heart beat in abnormal rate. ''This time I will be strong so no one can betray me and I don''t need to run away from my enemies... Wait for me Rothschild Family.. I will annihilate your family Arthur Rothschild'' Kim Shin inwardly vow to himself as he clenched his hands. Calmly looking around, Kim Shin found that he is inside a big and wide white room with more than hundred of confuse and worried people. "W-What''s happening?" "Where are we?" "Hey! explain to us where are we!" Hearing a number of questions from confused people, A sudden clap rang out that filled the wide room. It almsot caused the ears of the confused people to bleed as everyone looked at the source of the defeaning clap. They found a strange creature, look like an imp in some fantasy games and it''s floating with its wings while wearing a cute tuxedo. Yea it''s size is for sure really cute. But, Kim Shin knew what kind of devil was that little imp. "Now that your all of attention is at me, Let me welcome you again Earthling! Welcome to Yggdrasil and I will be your Tutorial Guide Minsk!" Minsk loudly announced. "I know that lot''s of you have a question in your mind. So, I''ll let you ask me a few question and of course I will answer just those question I''m permitted to answer". Minsk continued. After Minsk the Imp finished his speech a lot of question bombard him and the crowd gone crazy. "What the fuck are you?" "Where are we?" "Why are we here?" "What do you want with us?" "Why did you bring us here?" Looking at the way how the crowd act, Kim Shin was pretty sure that blood will spill at any second. And what Kim Shin guess is right, after a few second some of those who''s crazy asking a question and cursing the Imp, died headless. "KYAAAAAH!!!!!" "H-he.. killed m-mako..!" "He a-also killed.. Mikel.." Looking at the headless body of those who died, some of who saw the gory incident can''t help but vomit all the food they ate last day. Silence filled the room. "Now.. now please be mindful of what you speak or else you will face the consequence like those corpse" Minsk remind them with an innocent smile. "Okay now. Please raise your hand if you are going to ask question and I will pick whose permitted to ask" Minsk continued. "Please raise your hand". Minsk remind them again but all of them is hesitant to raise their question after what happened to those who died. Of course with exception of Kim Shin because he already knew the answer. And of course there still some of them who can''t stop their curiosity so they raise their hand. "You.. yes you the one with an ugly eyes" Minsk mock the one who look like a Teenager Thug because of his looks and number of piercing in his lips, nose and ear. The Teenager felt humiliated but he endured for the sake of preserving his life after he saw how this little demon can kill without hesitation. "Me.. uhmm I just wanna ask why are we here?" "Good question, all of you Earthlings got here in Yggdrasil because you are all lucky. Lucky because before your Earth explode or in other word before all of you explode along with your dearest earth, the God of Yggdrasil took pity to all of you, that''s why before all of you die, God of Yggdrasil Teleport you all here. Of course, not all the 7 billion of you are welcome, All of you need to work hard for your spot to get to the mainland". Minsk answered smoothly. "Okay next question.. you what your question" A girl who look like an office worker with an orange hair and neat appearance, Even in this situation she doesn''t look like afraid unlike other people in this white big room. "So what happen to those who can''t get a spot?" "Hehehe of course they will die." Minsk answered truthfully. "WHAT?!" The crowd exclaimed in revelation. Kim Shin already know this. The real intention behind this tutorial is to clean the weak because the Yggdrasil is only for those strong and want to be stronger. If the God of the Yggdrasil is really Kind God, He can just let them in, all the 7 billion earthling because Yggdrasil is really big more than 10 times the actual size of earth. "How about our family, where are our family?" "Your family is in the same situation like you, they are somewhere out there standing and listening to their guide, you don''t need to worry about your family, worry about yourself first." Minsk answered. "Okay that''s all for the Q&A, now I will guide you next how to use the gift from Yggdrasil God" "Please say or think in your mind the word ''Open Status'' please try it then." Some of them say out loud and some of them just think in their mind. "Woah.. what is this?" "It''s look like a game system" Exclaimed by someone surely a gamer. Some of them didn''t know what is this and of course those who play rpg games might know this. Of course Kim Shin already know what to do about this and he already checked his status before Minsk appear. [Name: Kim Shin] [Age:19] [Level: 1] [Title: none] [Job class: n/a] HP: 1500/1500 MP: 500/500 Strength: 20 Dexterity: 15 Agility: 18 Constitution: 15 Intelligence: 10 Free allocation Points: 0 SKILLS: Swordmanship LV.5 Grade: Common (+50% damage while using sword) Martial Arts LV.4 Grade: Common (+40% damage while doing hand to hand combat) SPECIAL TRAITS: Bloodlust - Focusing your killing intent to your opponent to stun them for 3 sec.

He is happy by the result of his training for a month. Ten is the standard stats of normal person. So the stats of Kim Shin is already above average. "Now that you see your status maybe some of you have skills and personal traits and some are doesn''t have anything. So, please work hard, then let''s go to the next, look at your window next to your status is Points Shop. In the Point Shop there is Skill Shop, Item Shop and Weapon Shop." "If you look at the bottom of Point Shop tab you can see your free points, How many free points you can get is base on how strong your soul. You can use your soul point to buy your necessities in the Shops." Minsk continue. The one month free time of Kim Shin of course not only full of training he also make a plan and analyze all the things he need here in tutorial mission. Kim Shin look at his Soul Point and he was shocked to see that his soul point now and before have a big difference It was twice of the amount he have before.

In his first transmigrate he only have 500 soul points which is normal to any average human. But there''s also exempted to average and they are those geniuses they have 700 soul points least. But Kim Shin is no genius so he was shocked to see that his soul points is 1000. ''I really don''t understand how this happened.. but still with this thousand point I can buy more better skills''. Kim Shin just gratefully accept his extra points. "Okay, Next is the Map Navigation tab of course you all understand how to use a map, so I won''t waste your time. Without further ado let''s get to the main topic, your tutorial mission." After long discussion about how to use the Yggdrasil System it''s now time for the main event. "It was just an easy mission you just need to survive for one week in Dark Hyena Forest" Minsk continued with a playful smile. "And yes you can do anything you want for you to survive for one week in Dark Hyena Forest" "For more info the Yggdrasil System will let you know in the right time" Minsk ended. Dark Hyena Forest, Kim Shin knows that this tutorial mission is not that easy like those in some role-playing games, because this tutorial is like a hell for newbies. Back when he first do the tutorial mission a lot of newbies died because of the low percent survivability in dark hyena forest. Kim Shin almost died a couple of times before he was just lucky that he survived for long. ''I live like coward and na?ve before but now, In this life, I want to live more than a normal life, I will get my VENGEANCE and I will control my own destiny. Now let me start my path to VENGEANCE.'' 2 Dark Hyena Fores "All of you, please get ready. I will transfer you now to your designated place, see you again after one week, Good luck and Have fun." Minsk bade them farewell and wish them good luck. With flick of Minsk finger the almost 200 people left was shrouded with white light and gone to their destination. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö Inside a dark and gloomy forest a group of teenager were running with all their strength, exhaustion displayed at their face, with a three gray dog chasing behind them. " Haa.. what the heck is this Tutorial Mission and the side mission.." One of the teenager grumbled while still running. They thought that because this was only a tutorial it would be easy but they are totally wrong. And the consequence for underestimating this tutorial is death. Two member of the group had already died. After they spawned in Dark Hyena Forest an alert message from the system surprised them. ¡ñSystem Alert¡ñ [ Main Mission ] ¡ñSurvive for one week. ¡öReward: Unknown [ Side Mission ] ¡ñKill 10 Gray Hyena ¡öReward: 20 points Seeing that they just need to kill a ten hyena monster or whatsoever, the group of teenagers thought it would be easy. So, they attempted to kill a group of three hyena but they failed to do so. And now they running for their lives. They are just a bunch of spoilt kids who hasn''t understand the gravity of their situation. They though this reality is just like a game for them.

However, they are risking their lives at every moment they fought a monster. So, for those who think it''s just a game. They face an early death. [Gray Hyena Lv.2] HP: 100/100 MP: 50/50 Skill: ¡öBite Lv.1 (Passive) (¡ñGray Hyena are naturally born carnivorous. With just their bite they can crush human bones. ¡ñAdditional +10% Attack Damage) While running, one of those teenager heard in the distance a sound of clashing. "..Hah.. it look like.. there''s s-someone fighting over there.." Hearing what the teenager said. A teenager who look like the leader of the group frowned while keeping the distance from the three gray hyena. "..Guys keep running and follow me.. We will run over where the source of sound at." "..Huh?...Do you mean that.. thing?" "..b-but it''s wrong.." Of course some of the member of the group realized what the intention of their leader. However, one of them still have a conscience. "..huh? what but?..Do you want to fight that thing that chasing us huh?? stop bullsh*t*ng follow us or else die here." The leader shouted angrily. The one whose trying to oppose the idea of their leader was speechless. He doesn''t want to die so he just kept his mouth shut. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö *SLASH* A sound of slashing and dripping blood reverberated in a quiet area. Kim Shin quickly finished his side mission after two hours inside the Dark Hyena Forest. The time inside the Dark Hyena Forest is the same with the time in earth. Currently the time is 2:15 in the afternoon. ¡ñSystem Alert¡ñ [You''ve obtained 20 points] [You''ve Leveled Up] ''Ha..Finally I''d leveled up after killing 10 Gray Hyena and now I''m at level 2. It''s going to be hard to level up if I keep killing this weak monster.'' Although, he also received a 20 Soul points as a currency at the Tutorial Stage. And the Side Mission of slaying 10 Gray Hyena is could only take it until five times. He knew much easier and bloody way of earning Soul Points. Also before transferring in the Dark Hyena Forest, Kim Shin bought a basic armor and a rare type of one-hand type sword. He also bought a lot of dried rations and bottled water which cost him a lot. [Black Iron Sword] Grade: Rare Type: One Handed Sword Additional Damage + 50 Cost: 100 soul points. [Basic Breastplate] Grade: Common Type: Light Armor Additional Defense +10 Cost: 50 soul points He also experience before the real threat behind the Tutorial Mission. ''Hunger'' because the monster in the dark hyena forest doesn''t leave their body after they die they just turn to smoke to nothing. But now he''s prepared for anything that might happen. So, he just need to focus on how to acquire those hidden item and mission. ''Just right on time..now that I''m done with my Side Mission. Let''s do the Hidden Mission.'' Kim Shin is already aware of the group of teenager that running towards his direction and he already knew what is their ulterior motive. ''You may trick other newbies. However, you all target a wrong person. I won''t show you guys any mercy.'' Seeing that the group of teenager is getting closer to him Kim Shin took a stance to get ready for the fight. ''Come!'' Kim Shin taunt them inwardly. The leader of the group of teenager saw how Kim Shin killed the Gray Hyena monster. He hesitate if he should keep running towards this stranger knowing that this man is strong and might kill them if this man survive. The result of his hesitation killed one of his member. *Snap* *Crunch* "Arrggh..s-save meeeee..p-please.." "Boss.. Blake why did you stop running..keep going." Blake, the leader of the group was agitated by what happened to the one of them. But, by the urged of one of his member he continued running toward Kim Shin. ''F*ck it'' Blake swore inwardly. "M-move out of the way you maggot" Blake loudly cursed Kim Shin whose blocking their way. He knew that the man at the front was strong but he couldn''t accept to be look weak and looked down by his member so he kept his facade and act strong. ''Hoh..'' Seeing that this group of thug that continue running to him, Kim Shin can''t help but think that this guys thought that he is a pushover. "Run over me if you can" Kim Shin reply with a smirk. At Kim Shin''s smirk, Blake could not stop himself but to be infuriated. "You!!!! Go die then!" Angry run over Blake mind as he forgot that Kim Shin just slayed a Gray Hyena which is hard for them to kill even with a group. Blake swung his sword horizontally toward the standing Kim Shin with all the force he can wield. ''So you''re afraid now that you can''t move..'' When Kim Shin did not move at his place. Blake thought that Kim Shin is scared witless that he can''t move. However, before Blake get to slice Kim Shin in half. Kim Shin suddenly stepped forward and tilted his body and head on the leftward to dodge the coming sword of Blake and swing his black iron sword vertically to Blake neck. Blake saw the sword that coming to his neck and felt that his death is unavoidable. ''WHOOSH'' However, when his about to cut the neck of Blake. Suddenly an arrow appeared and coming to the right of his head. Realizing that the arrow was probably gonna hit Kim Shin. Blake was about to feel relief but he couldn''t do. Because, he was utterly shocked at what he saw. Kim shin transferred his sword to his left hand and grab the arrow by his right hand. "N-no wa-" But before Blake get to finish his sentence a sword cut through his neck. 3 Explorer [Hidden Mission Achieved] ¡ñFirst time killing human. ¡ñYou''ve received 100 soul points. ¡ñYou''ve received 100 exp. Killing human is one of the hidden mission at Tutorial Stage. Kim Shin got to know this before because one of his team in the past got into the fight with other team and discover this hidden achievement after killing someone and this start the war of almost 200 humans in Dark Hyena Forest. Even though the experience reward in killing human is minimal the 100 soul points reward is really tempting, you can buy a few dried rations with it. At the sudden death of Blake made the last three member of teenager felt despair. Blake is their only hope in this situation. But, now that the hope they clinging onto was gone they doesn''t have any strength to keep moving. Taking advantage of the situation the three Gray Hyena jump and attempted to bite the three teenagers. "Ahhh!!..I-I''m gonna die..I don''t want to die yet.." However, before they get to feast those teenagers the Gray Hyenas stopped mid-air and fell back to the ground with their feet while whimpering They stopped moving because of the killing intent released by Kim Shin that make them wanted to run.

Duration: 3 seconds Gray Hyena is only 1 level above Kim Shin so his blood lust got easily work on them. ''Sorry guys but they are my prey'' Three seconds is enough for Kim Shin to kill those Gray Hyena, with the monster couldn''t move a single thing and his high agility, he killed it easily. After killing the gray hyenas Kim Shin turned to looked at the three teenagers who was stunned by what they witnessed. It''s more amazing than the way he slayed their boss. The three teenager was scared witless just by the stare of Kim Shin. "Now what should I do with you three?" Kim Shin rubbed his chin while thinking and this action caused the three teenagers more afraid him, they didn''t know what''s going to happen with them. Now, that their pitiful life is in the hand of this devil in disguise at the front of them. "P-please forgive us. It was all Blake idea.. he just forced us." "That''s r-right.." "Have.. mercy.. we don''t have a choice.." Now that they leader was gone they all blame all the fault to their dead leader. At first Kim Shin would like to consider if he''s going to kill them because the first reason of one of the teenager make sense. However, something suddenly snapped in him after he heard what the other teenager said. "Choice? Don''t have a choice..? Don''t give me that sh*t! Everybody has a choice..It''s you guys choose to comply to your leader idea!" Sensing the sudden change in the atmosphere and the pressure coming from Kim Shin made the trio teenager shudder liked a scared cat. This topic is really sensitive for Kim Shin because he died by the hands of his two best friend that resulted from the decision they chosen. Kim Shin unconsciously leaked his killing intent that caused the trio felt out of breath. "You guys chose this way.. so face the consequence! DIE!" Kim Shin quickly dashed to the trio. "N-no pleas-..!" With just a half breath of time, Kim Shin instantly arrived at the front of the one teenager. With a vertical slash from left to right a headless body drop to the ground. *Thud* Looking at the corpse that one of them. The other two member left dropped their weapon and muster their confidence and hurriedly tried to escape in the hands of Kim Shin. With another pounce the ground was instantaneously crushed where Kim Shin stepped. And that move quickly got him at the back of the another teenager whose running for his dearest life. "H-have mercy please!!" uttered of the teenager that Kim Shin chasing. "Sorry but I had enough, I don''t have any plan to live as a coward again, In this life I will crush everyone hinder my path!" Kim Shin replied with a sword thrust that pierced the back of the teenager through his heart. As he looked at his back the teenager saw how Kim Shin easily pierced the heart of his co-member. "D-demon..He''s a demon!!" the last teenager left felt really terrifies by how Kim Shin could kill without hesitation and slay his co-members. And with that, he run like crazy that caused him to stumble while running. Kim Shin was amaze by how fast the last teenager can run and realize that this teenager is the one who shot the arrow that almost had him. ''Hoh he''s fast..but it''s futile you can''t escape from me!'' Kim Shin picked up a fist size rock and throw to the teenager with full force. The teenager sense the danger coming at his back and tried to look back but before he could saw what''s coming, his head burst like a watermelon smashed by a hammer. ¡ö You''ve received 100 points. ¡ö You''ve received 100 exp. After killing the group of thugs one-fourth of his exp filled up. ''I should start to work out my plan I don''t want those geniuses have a chance to be strong again in this time'' Back at the first time of Kim Shin in the tutorial stage those geniuses who have a better stats monopolize not just the hidden achievements they also monopolized the artifacts hidden in this stage. At the tutorial stage, 7 billions of humans only almost 200 person got in the same place. Kim Shin remembered that there are few geniuses in this tutorial stage that with him. There''s also he''s temporary team before that helped him survived in this tutorial stage. ''If I got a chance to help you guys in this life I will lend you guys a hand'' Kim Shin swore inwardly. Of course not all of them are good like his temporary team before, there''s also those who awaken the monster inside them which is desire. Desire to be at the top, want to rule everyone and a lot desire that every kind of human want. One of them is Bradley Kingsberg one of the top geniuses whose entitled Berserker Sovereign in Yggdrasil World. Bradley Kingsberg is one of the 200 humans that Kim Shin where belong. Kim Shin had a very unfortunate past with Bradley Kingsberg. He remembered that his temporary team almost annihilate by Bradley Kingsberg but by luck they survive because of the right timing of one of the geniuses that rival the strength of Bradley Kingsberg. ''I need to pace up my plan. With my past memory intact I know some of hidden achievements and important artifact that can only be found in dark hyena forest'' Checking the Map Kim Shin is in the West Side of Dark Hyena Forest and he remembered that at the third day in the Dark Hyena Forest a random group found a dungeon at the west side of dark hyena forest and an important artifact found by them after clearing the dungeon. But, the clearing part is only a rumor. That artifact can boost the strength of a person by twofold and because of the greed of the humans a lot of clashing happened. That Artifact fall into different hands. And soon to be found used by one of the powerful person in the Yggdrasil World. ''If I got that artifact it will greatly help me for my plan but that dungeon won''t be easy with my current level, I should hunt more hyena to level up'' ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö [You''ve leveled up!] After Killing hyenas for few hours Kim Shin finally reached level 5 which is amazing feat because only just few hours passed after they got in Dark Hyena Forest. Normally at this time lot of people is still running for their life they would only understand that the first day in Dark Hyena Forest is already easy compared to the upcoming days. With 3 free allocation stats point at every level up Kim Shin have 12 free allocation stats points. He decide to use his free stats points before going to raid the dungeon. ''Where should I put my free allocation stats..hmm.. I should stay in my plan'' After thinking for a few moments Kim Shin decided to stay to his original plan and put his free stats points to Strength and Agility. He didn''t put to other stats, his free stats points like Constitution that should improve his Health Points(HP) and Stamina because he know that at this stage he can handle himself by the help of his memory. He also didn''t put some stats in his Intelligence and Dexterity because he doesn''t have any skills yet that needed any magic power (MP) and adding dexterity at the early stage is also unneeded but he considered to improve his dexterity in the future. [Name: Kim Shin] [Age:19] [Level: 6] [Job: n/a] HP: 1500/1500 MP: 500/500 Strength: 26 Dexterity: 15 Agility: 24 Constitution: 15 Intelligence: 10 Free allocation Points: 0 SKILLS: ¡ñSwordmanship LV.5 (passive) (+50% Attack Damage while using sword) Martial Arts LV.4 (passive) (+40% Attack Damage while doing hand to hand combat) SPECIAL TRAITS: Bloodlust - Focusing your killing intent to your opponent to stun them for 3 sec.

''Now It''s time for raid!'' Kim Shin run through a certain direction and felt that his speed improve considerably. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö After running for a few minutes Kim Shin found the entrance of the dungeon that look like an old tomb if Kim Shin didn''t know this place it would take time before he found out where is the dungeon, because of the tall trees that made the place dark even though the sun is still high up in the sky. And also the entrance was surrounded by bushes. Entering in the dungeon Kim Shin found himself walking in a narrow hallway that only two person side by side can fit. Surprisingly at the end of the hallway there was a blue colored source of light coming. Kim Shin walk through the source of light and welcomed by a big and wide room with a blue flame torch at those tall pillar that connected to the roof, at the end of the room there are triple pathways. [You discovered Tomb of the Death] -you''re the first to discovered this dungeon awarded ''Explorer'' title. [Explorer - equipping this title while inside the dungeon increased your Constitution by 10%.] Kim Shin was a bit shocked by sudden alarm of the system. He doesn''t know that there was a title reward to those who discovered first a dungeon. Kim Shin never explore an unexplored dungeon before so it was normal that he doesn''t know about this. ''Oh a percentage.. not a complete value but a percentage this is really good!'' Kim Shin exclaimed happily. He knew the difference with percentage and a whole value, the value of percentage are not visible by early stage but in the future when Kim Shin stats get higher the value of this title will show itself. This will help him for raiding this dungeon. [Title Explorer Equipped] Kim Shin hurriedly equip the explorer title. (HP:1650/1650) 4 Middle Pathway - 1 Kim Shin walked near at the triple pathway and think for a moment which way should he go. ''I remembered this dungeon because of that certain artifact. However, I''m really clueless at what is hidden inside of this dungeon'' It''s true that Kim Shin returned from the future but he doesn''t know all the events happened from the start of transmigration until his last breath in Yggdrasil World. ''I can''t cower again like my last life. I will conquer this dungeon and If I need to conquer the Yggdrasil World so I can make a safe place for my loved one''s I will do it without hesitation, with all I can, with all I have!'' Kim Shin vowed to himself inwardly and walk to the middle pathway. After walking for a minutes Kim Shin looked around and found that he is seems like in a graveyard place with some very old lamppost flickering like a torch that giving'' a source of light in this dark place. ''What the heck?! A graveyard inside a dungeon?'' Kim Shin felt an ominous feeling in this place as he take extra caution when he heard a crackling sound a bit further from his left side. Because of the mist that hinder his sight he doesn''t know what is coming. Kim Shin took his sword out from his inventory and got ready for what is coming. *Crackle* A human feet bone pierced through the mist and slowly revealed itself. A human skeleton with two blue flicking fire as it eyes and a sword in its hand showed in Kim Shin front which he easily recognize. ''hoh a Bone Swordsman'' This Bone Swordsman is normally seen at the dark area of the Yggdrasil Mainland which Kim Shin already faced before. They known as they characteristic of being slow which is good for beginner but durable which is bad for those who have a low constitution or stamina. ''System Appraise'' Kim Shin mumbled mentally. [Bone Swordsman Lv.7] Hp: 2000 Mp: 100 SKILL: [Double Strike](Active) ¡öA double-quick sword attack +5% attack damage ¡ñMP Cost: 10 ¡ñCooldown: 1 minute The data of the Bone Swordsman shown to Kim Shin. System Appraisal is one of the function of the system which Minsk the tutorial guide didn''t tell to everyone. Of course Kim Shin already knew the hidden functions of System that not known to everyone else yet. This the first time for Kim Shin again to fight monster with sword ever since he left the civilization with his wife in his last life. So, Kim Shin felt a bit of adrenaline rush through him. Even though he treat this type of monster as a trash before. He don''t feel conceited because he already fought this type of monster, because now is a different circumstance, He doesn''t have his old stats. The Bone Swordsman run to Kim Shin in a slow-paced way. Of course Kim Shin also didn''t hesitate to face upfront the monster. Kim Shin attack with a slant strike with his sword. *Clang* However, the Bone Swordsman easily parried his attack and followed up by Double Strike which is easily avoided by Kim Shin. With his Agility those slow attack was a piece of cake for him to avoid it. After Kim Shin easily dodge his attack. The Bone Swordsman felt that his opponent is dangerous. Kim Shin felt disappointed for expecting that this Bone Swordsman can give him a good fight. ''I''d expected so much after seeing a monster holding a swo-'' But before Kim Shin finish what his thinking he felt more presence coming behind the mist that covering the way. *Crackle*Crackle* ''Hoh.. so you''re not alone huh.. Well it''s getting more interesting'' Knowing that there is more monster coming. Kim Shin decided to quickly dispatch this Bone Swordsman. He slightly lowered his body after dodging another strike from the Bone Swordsman, taking the chance after dodging he decide to counter attack by swinging his sword to the left flank of the Bone Swordsman which clearly hit that made the Bone Swordsman body curve like this " < " and flew leftward and crashed to the ground. Looking at the crashed bone monster, Kim Shin know that he didn''t gave a lot of damage on the monster because of his still numb hands. He really felt the resistance coming from the bone monster. ''I almost forgot that blunt type weapon is the most required weapon for hunting bone type monster..'' Kim Shin forgot that his weapon is not sharp enough to cut a bone of bone monster. Because bone of this type of monster is more durable than normal human bone. ''sigh.. I don''t have any blunt weapon.. but my fist enough to be blunt'' Kim Shin put his sword back to his inventory. Cracking his fist and neck to warm up his body Kim Shin lookliked going to bully someone. The Bone Swordsman struggle to stand up and glare to Kim Shin with his blue fire. After the Bone Swordsman got to stand up the incoming monster show theirselves. They are four bone monster but not the same type of Bone Swordsman, Two of them wore a round shield and shorts sword and the other two equipped with bow and arrows. Kim Shin was a bit shocked by the set of the five bone monster including the bone swordsman. "Heh.. you guys are those type like to bully a person with group huh". Kim Shin cant help but smile with the situation. ''System Appraise'' Kim Shin silently appraise the monsters at the front and the data of the bone monsters shown to him by the system.

Kim Shin grumbled to himself after he saw the data of the bone monsters. ''Well this is much better than those annoying hyenas out there..'' One of the Bone Knights didn''t let Kim Shin prepared and quickly bash at him. ''Hoh..You''re a impatient one huh''. Kim Shin smirk and did not let his guard down. When the Bone Knight was about to hit him he side stepped at left to dodge. The Bash Skill can easily be dodged if you are familiar with this skill. So, naturally Kim Shin easily dodge it. Although, he dodge the first attack. A follow-up blow from Bone Knight came up, A sword slash to his left that almost hit him. However, he easily avoided it by rolling to the other side. Without wasting more time while his right knee on the ground, Kim Shin dash to the Bone Knight quickly and made a sweep kick to the foot of the Bone Knight that result of the monster falling to the ground. Pain felt by Kim Shin after Kicking the Bone Knight but he set a side the pain that made him wanted to cry out loud. Now that the Bone Knight is down he continue his attack by stomping multiple times the head of the Bone Knight. [You''ve defeated the Bone Knight] 5 Middle Pathway - 2 [You''ve acquired Old Shield] [You''ve acquired 1 basic health potion] Basic Health Potion Grade: Common Type: Potion ¡öDrinking will recover 5% of your health for 10 seconds. ''Huh..Health Potion?!'' Kim Shin was shocked by the drop of Health Potion because this type of Item is not available yet in the System Shop until the end of the tutorial. After a surprise drop from the Bone Knight, the fight continued. Two arrow come above of Kim Shin, not giving a time to look for the stats of the shield he hurriedly equipped it and used it to defend himself from the arrows. *Tak*Tak* The arrows accurately hit the shield of Kim Shin and the flurry attack followed up by bash skill of the Bone Knight which surprise him, He hurriedly braced himself for the impact. *BAM!* The impact forced Kim Shin to take three steps backward and his left hand got numb by the force. The Bone Knight stopped for a second and followed up a slash attack to Kim Shin. ''Argh..I couldn''t believe that I''m being pushed by this trash monsters..'' Kim Shin felt bitter by the situation. He dodge the following attacks of the bone monsters. ''I can''t keep this speed my stamina won''t last if I continue this'' Kim Shin didn''t know that this dungeon is for 5 or more person dungeon. ''Am I being too reckless?..No! I need to do this by myself to overcome myself and to overcome everyone!.'' Kim Shin stepped back and made a distance. ''Bloodlust'' Kim Shin silently activate his special traits. [Bloodlust is ineffective to monster that doesn''t have their own will] ''Wha-..It''s not working? why?..they don''t have their own will...AH!'' Shocked by the result of his skill that does not working on this monster, He almost got hit by the arrows, fortunately he reacted on time and got only a scratch on his left cheek and right shoulder. "If they doesn''t have their own will.. that means someone is controlling them?.." Kim Shin could think a few monster that have a controlling skill and summoner skill. But he''s uncertain, which kind of monster is behind them. ''Aish.. it''s no use thinking for something that''s not happening yet. I should focus all my attention to this monsters'' ''Focus..focus...'' Kim Shin decided to focus more on the situation. He closed his eyes and breathe slowly. Arrows raining again on Kim Shin, However, when the arrows about to hit him. He suddenly opened his eyes and the world around him instantly slowed. He saw all the arrows above slowly coming and the moving like snail paced Bone Knight and Bone Swordsman behind it.

''You annoying b*tch!'' As he passed the Bone Knight and Bone Swordsman. Kim Shin quickly smashed the old round shield at the face of the Bone Archer that trying to shoot an arrow again. The Bone Archer face skull was cracked because of the attack and Kim Shin didn''t waste more time as he grabbed the face of the Bone Archer by his right hand and slam it to the ground. *Bang* The ground vibrate because of the impact, the back of the skull of the pitiful Bone Archer was damaged but Kim Shin didn''t stop his attack, he used the shield to smash the Bone Archer again and again that made the ground tremble. If anyone saw how Kim Shin killing this monster they would surely thought if the Bone Archer is really a monster or Kim Shin is the real monster. [You''ve defeated the Bone Archer] The Bone Archer died just by sheer strength of Kim Shin. Kim Shin looked to the last Bone Archer which only 2 meters away from him. Not wasting his acceleration time left, he pounce to the Bone Archer with just a blink of an eye he''s already at the front of the monster. A flying kick from Kim Shin hit the Bone Monster that made it flew few meters away and crashed to the ground. [You''ve defeated Bone Archer] With the addition stats of his Martial arts skill and Chosen One title he successfully one hitted the Bone Archer. ''Woah..it really flew away'' Kim Shin was amazed with what happen. He really felt incredible because he doesn''t experience beating a monster to pulp with a same level or one level above him before. He felt intoxicated by his current power. ''No.. no.. I can''t be arrogant.. I can''t underestimate anyone with this little achievement of mine..'' Kim Shin remind himself not to be arrogant because he knew that there still those like Arthur Rothschild a genius. Kim Shin put his mind again to the fight. He looked at the Bone Knight and Swordsman whose still at slowed pace. With a quick dash he rushed to the Bone Swordsman and give it a full circle kick to its head that made the skull of the bone monster flew away. With another dash he got at the front of Bone Knight, he kicked the Shield of the Bone Knight and gave an uppercut to the jaw of the monster that made it cracked and burst to pieces. [You''ve defeated the Bone Swordsman] [You''ve defeated the Bone Knight] ''Oops.. I think I overdid the last one'' Now that Kim Shin successfully killed those bone monsters, he quickly look at the skill book he got, because of the situation he doesn''t have enough time to look at its information. [Over Limit] Type: Skill Grade: Legendary (Additional + 100 to all stats for 30 minutes) (cooldown: 40 minutes) - Awarded for the first human to learn a skill without a help of skill book. (You want to learn this skill book) [Yes/No] ''WHAT?!..L-Legendaryyyy grade?'' Kim Shin was so shocked, because in his past life he never have a legendary skill book. In Yggdrasil World there are 6 grade for Items and Skills. Common, Rare, Unique, Legendary, Myth and Divine. In his past life he only heard that the owner of a Divine Grade Skill is the Yggdrasil God. There''s a lot of speculation that you can''t found a Skill Book with Divine grade and you need to acquire or learn it by yourself, but until he die no human got a chance to learn a Divine Skill. But there a few who have Legendary and Myth Grade Skill and all of them is a top-notch, some of them are head of their own clan or family. Looking at the system window that floating and asking if he want to learn the Over Limit skill, Kim Shin thought that the system is idiot. Why would he not going to learn this skill? ''Of course, Yes!'' Kim Shin quickly clicked the [Yes] button. [You''ve learn Over Limit] Kim Shin felt excited by the situation. ''Hooh.. relax.. don''t be so happy yet.. one step at a time.. continue with my plan.. but I''m more than one step ahead to those so-called geniuses HAHAHA..'' Kim Shin can''t stop himself for laughing evilly. While Kim Shin is laughing, another wave of bone monster coming to him. Seeing that new wave is coming he stop laughing and smile. "Heh..Another wave of bones?.. Well let''s continue what were doing." Kim Shin smirked and dash to the group of bones. The massacre continue for a few hours. ?~?~?~? [You''ve leveled up!] [You''ve leveled up!] After Kim Shin finished the last wave of bone monsters, He stopped at level 8. *Plop* Kim Shin drop to the ground panting and gasping for air. He pushed his self too much. ''Haaa.. my stamina got depleted'' After a few minutes of rest he seat on the ground and look for food in his inventory. ''It''s already late.. I should eat first before continue raiding this damn dungeon!'' [Dried Food] Cost: 50 points (Eat to recovered from hunger) [Bottled Water] Cost: 50 points (Drink to recover from thirst) Few minutes later Kim Shin was already fully recovered. ''Okay..Let''s continue'' Kim Shin mumbled. Kim Shin just walked forward because of the mist hindering his sight he just walked forward. And after a half hour of walking, Kim Shin realized that the mist is slowly fading until he found himself at the front of a Big Door a 5 meter tall door. ''Is this a boss room or what?'' Kim Shin doesn''t know what''s inside this Big door but he braced himself and slowly pushed the Door but the door didn''t budge even just a little. ''What the heck?!'' Kim Shin got irritated and use his all strength and try to pushed the door again. His veins in his arm, neck and head bulged. [System Alert] (Your level is not enough to open this door) ''Err-?!!!'' Kim Shin was taken aback because of the system alert. ''It''s that mean this is really the boss room?'' Kim Shin was hundred percent sure that this room is the way to the boss room. ''I don''t have any choice I guess.. Much better to explore the other pathways.'' Kim Shin decided to go back out of this place. 6 Left Pathway - 1 Back again at the triple pathways. Kim Shin decided to have a rest first as he felt that this dungeon is really weird. Kim Shin bought a sleeping bag before coming here at Dark Hyena Forest and brought out the sleeping as he decided to sleep for a while here. He can sleep here without a worry because he knew that no one will discover this dungeon until the third day of tutorial. While laying inside his sleeping bag, Kim Shin can''t help but remembered his past life before he died and his wife Angelica. He knew that Angelica is formidable and he will pass this tutorial stage without so much trouble. He can''t wait again to meet his wife but he knew that he would have a hard time again courting Angelica, Kim Shin can''t help but smile bitterly but his smile fade away quickly after he remembered what happened to his wife before his death. ''Arthur Rothschild you son of a b*tch, you may gave me a miserable life in the past but not in this lifetime, I will make your life more miserable not just you, even your whole family will need to atone with your sins!'' ''And Angelica wait for me! We will give them the taste of their own medicine!'' Kim Shin dreamed of killing his mortal enemy while standing at the top of the Yggdrasil World with a majestic weapon in his hand and a bad-*ss armor fitted on his body. After Kim Shin slept for a few hours he woke up and thought to eat first before to continue exploring this weird dungeon. After Kim Shin ate his dried food, he start to walk through the Left Pathways of the triple pathways. ''I don''t know what next weird monster hiding inside this lane..Anyways, Let''s finish this quickly'' Kim Shin mumbled and dash through it. Kim Shin carefully looked around his environment and he found that he is inside a basement like with a narrow way that surrounded with brick wall fitted only by two adult person. It was so dark that he can''t see what ahead of him. Kim walked a step slowly and suddenly a blue fire lighted up from the torch on the brick wall, like the light at the entrance of triple pathways. It continued all the way inside the deepest room of the basement like dungeon. ''It made my heart jump a little..'' Now that the before dark place is lighten up Kim Shin walked confidently while still keeping his guard up. Looking at the distance Kim Shin saw a sillouette of a man walking slowly like an injured person but what''s weird is the arm of this man is longer than a normal arm of human because it reached to it''s knees. ''Human?.. no impossible.. there will be no normal human with that kind of long arms.'' Kim Shin thought seriously. Until Kim Shin saw it, It has a human body but it''s skin is rotting if you look closely you can see some of internal organs plucked out it''s body, also the face of this humanoid being is really rotting one of it''s eye is almost falling out and it have a disgusting smell. '' A zombie..'' Even Kim Shin is already used to see this type of monster, he still have a feeling that want to puke out all the food he ate since last week. Kim Shin have a lot of experience in this monster in his first time at Yggdrasil World. They are common in dungeons but they are still disgusting as ever. [Zombie Lv.8] Hp:1500 Mp: --- SKILL: ¡ö[Poison Inflict] (Passive) (¡ñ Inflict poison on attack*Poison*: The target will lose 1% of hp per second. ¡ñ Duration of 10 seconds. ¡ñ Can stack until 5. ) Well, they still known as slow type monster but to those who underestimate this type of monster died quickly because of the lethal poison it''s body have. If you are bitten or clawed, poison surely get through your body and you need an antidote to cure the poison before your HP run-out. ''Well.. Thank you for welcoming me but I don''t want to waste my time in this disguting place'' Kim Shin thought inwardly and dash straight to the zombie. While running, before Kim Shin got to the zombie''s front, a sword suddenly appeared in his hand. He doesn''t need to do it manually to bring out his items, with just asking it out mentally it will appear in his hand. Sword with his hand he run quickly to the Zombie, and when his only a meter away from the Zombie he pounce with full strength to the monster with a few slashes that made the Zombie sliced to pieces. [You''ve defeated the Zombie] ''Fortunately I have my sword or else I need to kill this with my bare hand which is too risky.. with this narrowed place I can''t move freely'' Kim Shin continue his fast pace and encounter a few more zombies until he ended up in two road. It''s either left or right, he look at his Map Navigator which the lay-out of this basement-like place fully showed. Thankfully this is just the tutorial stage so all the lay-out of the place in this stage in Dark Hyena Forest is can be access for free but unfortunately not fully detailed. After the tutorial lot of function of the system will be limited like the Map Navigator, right now they can see the lay-out of every place in Dark Hyena Forest but after the tutorial they need to go personally into the right place to have the data of the place save in their own Map Navigator. In a simple way the Yggdrasil World is unexplored world yet for humans. The Map Navigator is like your personal cartographer, wherever you go the system will save every place you''ve been through. Looking at the lay-out map of the basement-like place. Kim Shin found that both left-way or right-way have the same end of destination. A big room. Most likely a boss room, so what is behind the big door in the Middle lane(?) Kim Shin was having a headache right now. ''What the heck is deal with this crazy dungeon'' Kim Shin grumbled. ''Aish.. nervermind..Let''s go this way..'' Kim Shin though to himself and walk to the left pathway. After walking forwardly for a minute he end up in a classroom size room which can accommodate 60 students. Inside this classroom size room is Zombies and a door to the right size of the room which guarded by a bigger type zombie. Kim Shin already expected this to happen after he saw the lay-out of this place. But to think that there are rare variation type of zombie is never came to his mind. ''System.. Appraise..''

''Well.. well.. look''s what we have here.. such a big guy!'' He felt that he will have a good battle with the big guy. So, he decided to add his 6 free allocation points to his STRENGTH and AGILITY.

He grip is fist hardly that made the vein in his fist and arm bulge. ''Hooh..Good.. I wanna punch the face of that big guy'' Kim Shin slowly enter the room and the three Zombies saw him. They quickly rushed to Kim Shin. Kim Shin also face the zombies head-on, with a old round shield in his left that almost broken and his sword in his right hand he pounce to the three zombies. *Bang* One of the zombies was smashed on the face by his old shield and the other zombie hand was sliced by Kim Shin. "GRAAAAGH!!--" The two zombie that have been hit by Kim Shin cried in pain. The other zombie behind the two groaning zombie attempt to bite him but he react timely and kicked the mouth of the Zombie. *Crack* The head of the zombie that had been kicked was rotated by 180¡ã. Kim Shin followed up by sword thrust on the zombie head. *Prrrch* The sword of Kim Shin pierced to the brain of the zombie. [You''ve defeated the Zombie..] With his agility three times of normal human and a snail paced movement of the zombies. He easily killed one of them, not giving a chance to the zombie to counter attacked, Kim Shin quickly cut the other hand of the zombie he cut earlier. Without the two hands of the zombie he beheaded the zombie with ease. [You''ve defeated the Zombie] The last normal zombie left just got up after being smashed by the shield of Kim Shin. Kim Shin pounce to the unbalanced zombie to attempt to finish the monster but before he got to slay the Zombie, two spit of poison coming at him. Surprise by the attack Kim Shin stepped back to dodge the first spit and bring up the shield to defend from the spit. *PSSH* Sound of the melting shield of Kim Shin. ''Oh.. sh*t!'' Kim Shin hurriedly throw his shield to the ground. 7 Left Pathway - 2 As he saw his shield melted to the empty air, Kim Shin couldn''t help but shudder, thinking that what might happen if he did not reacted on time and got spit by acid. Clenching his sword and position it to his front. Now, that he''s shield is gone. Kim Shin felt more unrestricted. He was a Swordsman before in his last life, even though he''s not one of the top-notch swordsmen. Swords-manship still running through his blood with years of experience with a sword. Even though he felt, he could move with ease now, he knew that without his shield the risk gets higher. Remembering that Spitters only skill is on cooldown they can only use their long arm and mouth. He immediately rushes to the normal Zombie that near him and with a strong grip on his sword Kim Shin quickly passed the zombie as he gave a clean vertical slashed to its neck to cut it. *THUD* The head of the zombie flew in the air and the headless body of the zombie fell to the ground lifelessly at the same time with its head. The lifeless body of the zombie is fading away as it slowly evaporate like smoke into empty air. [ You''ve defeated the Zombie ] Now facing two Spitter and the Experimented Ghoul three meters behind the two Spitters. Kim Shin hold his ground for a second to feel the atmosphere as he closes his eyes. The two Spitter initiate their attack follow-up by the heavy running of 3-meter height big black guy. Kim Shin silently activates his unique skill. ''Speed Acceleration!'' Time felt slow down considerably, as he opened his eyes he saw the slow-moving Spitter and Experimented Ghoul which a bit faster than the two Spitter. [4:59] The 5 minutes acceleration is ticking down. With a powerful sprint, looking at Kim Shin back the air was splitting when coming in contact with his body. Kim Shin body blurred leaving an after images by his high-speed that almost six times of normal human running speed. *WOOOSSSHHH* With just a blink of an eye, Kim Shin arrived at the front of the two Spitter. The sudden appearance of Kim Shin surprised the two Spitter, taking advantage of the moment he quickly gave a powerful kick to the one Spitter to its guts on the left and use its right shoulder as a jumping board to jump over that made the Spitter pushed backwards and eventually crashed to the ground. While still high up in the air, Kim Shin did a full horizontal turn like a gymnastic and delivered a powerful cut with his sword that made the air split which half the Spitter body from its head to it''s the lower torso. [ You''ve defeated the Spitter ] [ You''ve acquired Antidote Potion ] Antidote Potion Grade: Common Type: Potion -(Drinking will cure you from poisoned effect.) Kim Shin didn''t waste any of his time on system alert as he felt an upcoming attack. He immediately jumped back and use his sword to defend. *BANG* The sounds of impact from the collision of a thrown punch from the Experimented Ghoul and sword of Kim Shin. The force of impact made Kim Shin pushed back in the air a few meters as he quickly did a backflip in the air and land on the ground safely while on the other hand, the Experimented Ghoul pushed back by three steps. -500 HP: 2150/2650 Being damaged by just the impact of the collision Kim Shin frown by the situation. ''What kind of experiment.. did a mad scientist to made a powerful zombie like this?'' Kim Shin thought seriously. ''It''s useless to think something nonsense right now, Let''s give this big a guy a solid hit''. With a sword in his hand, Kim Shin this time initiate the attack to the Experimented Ghoul. The big guy also didn''t hesitate to face Kim Shin head-on. In a blink of an eye, they standing at the front of each other. Kim Shin look like a toddler in front of an adult person because of the three-meter height of Experimented Ghoul. The Experimented Ghoul throw another powerful punch to Kim Shin, but Kim Shin is much faster than the Experimented Ghoul. As the punch coming closer, Kim Shin wait for the right moment to dodge. ''Now!'' With a exclaimed in his mind, Kim Shin immediately jump over the fist of the big guy and dash trough its neck with the help of the arm of Experimented Ghoul as a stair. Kim Shin takes the chance to slice the neck of the Experimented Ghoul while it''s wide open. "Haaaah!...Die!" Kim Shin shout loudly as he strike the big neck of the big monster. *Clang!* A sound metal clashing rang around the room. ''WHA--?'' Kim Shin was surprised by the result of his attacked. He felt his arm got numb as he looks at the neck of the Experimented Ghoul where his strike landed, there''s no clear damage because his sword did not pierce the neck of this big guy, he just left a shallow scratch on it. Irritated by what Kim Shin had done. The Experimented Ghoul swang his arm to Kim Shin like waving an insect. The still surprised Kim Shin didn''t sense the incoming attack but fortunately his agility his higher than the Experimented Ghoul that''s why before the slap hit him, He, fortunately, defend his sword up vertically as the slap attack hit him. *Bang* Even though Kim Shin defended the attack, he was still slammed on the right side wall of the room that made him groan in pain. The wall cracked behind him because of the force behind that monster slap, as Kim Shin slid down to the ground he coughed out a blood. -500 HP: 1550/2650 While Kim Shin still on the ground, the only Spitter run at him attempting to bite him. As he slowly stand up, Kim Shin un-equip his sword and put it back in his inventory. The Speed Accelerator is still active, he slowly rub away with his arm the blood on his lips. Kim Shin glare to the incoming Spitter and look angrily to the Experimented Ghoul. "Congratulations.. you''ve successfully pissed me off!" Kim Shin said in a grim voice. As he looked back again on the Spitter, this time Kim Shin is seriously pissed off. He strongly gripped his fist that made the veins in his whole body bulge, this action made a change of pressure in atmosphere. Killing intent surrounding the room. The killing intent coming from Kim Shin made his aura look like alive. His colour black blood aura was dancing and swaying like a snake around his body. [System Alert!] Kim Shin didn''t mind the system notification. With a blink of an eye, Kim Shin already holds the Spitter head in his hand, and with an inhuman grip, a cracking sound rang inside the room as he broke the head of the pitiful zombie Spitter. [ You''ve defeated the Spitter ] [ You acquired Antidote Potion ] As the head and brain matter of the Spitter broke to pieces some of its blood drop to Kim Shin body. [ You''ve been poisoned ] [ You will lose 1% of your hp per second for 10 seconds ] Kim Shin knew that he had been poisoned but he didn''t mind it. He planned to quickly finish this fight. Now looking at the big guy, Kim Shin dash quickly once again to the Experimented Ghoul but this time without his sword. Gripping his fist strongly he immediately delivered a powerful punch to the Experimented Ghoul as he arrived. *BANG!* Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. The Experimented Ghoul was hit on the arm as he defends the attack from Kim Shin. "GRAAAAAGH!!!" The Experimented Ghoul wince in pain as he didn''t expect the powerful force behind a little insect punch from Kim Shin. Kim Shin punched forced the Experimented Ghoul stepped backwards for three meters. The big guy look at Kim Shin with its hollow red-eye angrily. Now he didn''t dare to underestimate this little human. Knowing that Kim Shin strength is enough to hurt him. -1% hp Kim Shin is still losing hp by second. So, he hurriedly continues his attack. *Bang* *Bang* Kim Shin and the Experimented Ghoul continue to exchange blows. Until Kim Shin solidly hit and cracked the face of the big guy that made it flew backwards and slammed on the door its guarding. It''s really unbelievable moment. Will you believe if someone tell you a story about a baby beating an adult person(?). That''s how unbelievable what''s happening, but it not end just like that. Kim Shin walked near the Experimented Ghoul when it suddenly roared. "GRAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Kim Shin was shocked at the roar of the big guy. ''Oh, Sh*t...It''s really angry this time..'' Kim Shin silently curse. Kim Shin knew that the monster is using the enrage skill now that it''s pissed off. He wanted to quickly jump back but before he got the chance a big hand grab him and toss him strongly until he slammed on the opposite sidewall. *Bang* "AGHH!.." Kim Shin groaned in pain as he try to stand up his body but the Experimented Ghoul didn''t give him any time to stand up. The Experimented Ghoul dash through Kim Shin, when it arrived near Kim Shin, it used its two hands and smashed the ground. *BANG!**TREMBLE* The ground explodes and trembled by the impact force of the Smash Skill of the Experimented Ghoul. Kim Shin didn''t get time to stand up until he gets hit again by the angry ghoul. "AGHH!..*cough*" Kim Shin coughed a mouthful of blood. His health is in critical condition same with Experimented Ghoul. As he attempt to stand up system alert suddenly showed up. [You have been stun you can''t move for 2 seconds] Yellow electricity restricting his body to move. ''Oh, Sh*t not now..'' Seeing the system alert Kim Shin can''t help but curse. Of course, the Experimented Ghoul didn''t let the chance slip as he threw his powerful punch to finish Kim Shin. Looking at the incoming attack, Kim Shin grit his teeth hard as he attempt to move his body. ''Grrr... F*ck it! Let me bet on this!'' Kim didn''t plan to use his card in this time but he doesn''t have any choice but to do so. ''OverLimit!'' As he activated his only legendary skill warm energy invade his body and run through every cell of his body. He can''t help but to moan because of the wonderful feeling and suddenly a powerful light exploded out of his body. *Break* A sound of breaking glass rang as Kim Shin felt that he can move again. Kim Shin didn''t plan to evade the attack. He held his ground and focus all his strength in his right arm. *BOOOM* The air and the ground where he''s standing explode as he focus his strength on his arm. He felt his right arm getting thicker and stronger. All of this happen in just blink of an eye. As the punch of the ghoul almost hit Kim Shin. He also throws a powerful punch to Experimented Ghoul that made the air split. *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM* A powerful air explosion on both sides explode like two racing speeding car collide as the two powerful punch of Kim Shin and Experimented Ghoul collide. Debris of stone falling around the room after the explosion and a sound of something fell on the ground. *THUD* [You''ve defeated the Experimented Ghoul] [You''ve acquired Ghoul Iron Armor] [You''ve acquired intermediate Health Potion x 2] [You''ve acquired Antidote Potion ¡Á2] [You''ve acquired Experimented Ghoul Skin ¡Á5] Seeing the system alert that he successfully killed the Experimented Ghoul, Kim Shin fell into the ground with his butt. "Haah.. that was amazing.." 8 Allyson and the group - 1 [ You''ve leveled up! ] The system lastly notified him that he leveled up as he drank antidote potion. "Haaa..that''s quite a good loots" Kim Shin mumbled as he checked his rewards from the hard fight while still gasping for air as he was so exhausted. Ghoul Iron Armor Grade: Rare Type: Light Armor Additional +20% Defense Additional +10 Constitution Intermediate Health Potion Grade: Rare Type: Potion -Drinking will recover 15% of your health for 10 seconds. ''Huh..Intermidiate Health Potion?!'' This time Kim Shin was more shocked than he first received the Basic Health Potion because Intermediate Health Potion is rare, of course it''s not yet available on system shop but what''s weird is this only a tutorial stage. Normally the dungeon in tutorial stage won''t drop this kind of potion, even just the basic health potion was already rare to drop. Experimented Ghoul Skin Grade: Rare Type: Material -Skin of experimented ghoul that experience a lot experimentation which result on its skin tougher as a steel.

Back at his first transmigration he also have this skill which saves his life for uncountable times. A lot of researcher about Special Traits said that skills listed as a special traits are already with the user since they born. But Kim Shin is really clueless how he got the blood lust skill. Does he massacred a thousands of life in his past life(?). That''s why he is really confuse now that it suddenly turn into something stronger. Did his proficiency in this skill made it to leveled it up(?) Kim Shin decided to not think of this matter anymore as he lay on the ground and directly sleep. He was really exhausted as he used all of his skill he have. Not only his stamina and magic power was depleted, he was also mentally fatigue by using the blood aura. Kim Shin just sleep on the ground uncaringly about his well-being because he knew that the monster won''t respawn as long as the dungeon is not cleared. In tutorial stage, the dungeon monsters won''t respawn unless they cleared the dungeon but the dungeon in Yggdrasil Mainland is different. The raiding group doesn''t have a time to relax theirselves while still inside the dungeon because the monsters that have been killed will respawn without specific time. ?~?~?~?

It''s rare for Allyson to say the word ''expensive'' before because she had all the money in earth, she can buy almost everything with money she had but now that the earth was gone, she can''t be luxurious. So, Allyson decided to be practical and thought a way how should she survive in this kind of environment. First, she bought a dried food and bottled water. Next is she bought armor for her safety and weapon for her to be armed as she need to fight to defend herself. And lastly, she bought a skill.

She wanted to cry but she remain silent and strengthen her will. Now that''s ready to go she gave another look to the mission or quest list. [ Main Mission ] ¡ñ Survive for one week. Reward: Unknown [ Side Mission ] ¡ñ Kill 10 Gray Hyena Reward: 20 points "Gray Hyena... what kind of cre?ture is that... sigh.. I should focus on how to survive first!" Allyson mumbled as she clenched her hand. "Then.. let''s see where am I." Allyson mumbled as he looked around the place where she at. She found nothing but enumerable tall trees as she investigate where she is, she remember that the system have a Map Navigation Tab. *click* She quickly open the map and saw that she is in the south-west part of the Dark Hyena Forest. As she zoom in the map, she saw that not far away from her is a pond and realize that there is a pond at every direction. "Hmm.. a pond!. A good place for camping.." With a fitted gray robe as her armor and black wooden staff in her hand, Allyson walked at the pond direction. After a few minutes of walking she heard a sound of foot steps. Allyson was a bit jolted by the sudden sound but she still slowly look where the source of sound coming from and what appear before her is a colored gray half-dog half-wolf. [Gray Hyena Lv. 2] A color red name of the monster shown up above its head. "So.. this is Gray H-Hyena.. and I need to kill t-ten of its kind.. c-crazy.." She was startled at the monster appearance. Looking at the red fierce eye, dripping saliva and sharp tooth of the monster, she couldn''t help but to tremble. Even though she''s a powerful and successful businesswoman, She''s still a girl, a human who knew and felt fear as her life might be in danger. "Grrrr..." Looking at the trembling Allyson, the gray hyena eyes glowed as it found a delicious meal for the day and It take its guard up for what Allyson hidden tricks might use . Allyson realize that the gray hyena was not moving and only watching her intently. Both Allyson and the Gray Hyena were only looking at each other as if waiting for a cue for them to move. Until a piece of leaf fell into the ground, without wasting more time Allyson quickly ran away from the Gray Hyena. She decided not to face the Gray Hyena just by looking at the savage look of it made her legs jelly. Seeing that it''s prey is trying to escape, the Gray Hyena hurriedly dash and quickly pounce attempting to bite Allyson. Sensing a dreadful feeling Allyson turned back her head to looked back and she saw the widely opened-mouth of savage beast at her front face with intention of snapping her head, but luckily before she get bitten by it she was tripped on a big curvy root of a tree as she fell down on the ground and fortunately dodged the deathly attack from the savage monster. Seeing that its prey dodged it''s attack, the Gray Hyena felt angry as it''s prey is trying to escape and it growl to Allyson with dripping saliva. "Grrr...*drip*drip*" Allyson hurriedly stood up and run through the pond direction hoping that someone is there to get some help. Gasping for air as she run, Allyson felt that her stamina is not going to last longer. As Allyson going slower and sluggish, the gray hyena didn''t let the chance slip as it pounce once more at Allyson. Allyson mind is getting clouded as she didn''t hear the Gray Hyena that already behind her. *Crunch* With a crunch sound Allyson''s shoulder got bitten and she stumbled on the ground while wincing in pain. "Arggh.. " She can''t stand anymore after being exhausted for running for almost an hour and being bitten by the Gray Hyena. Looking at its prey now down on the ground, the Gray Hyena slowly approach the dying Allyson cautiously. Allyson saw that the Gray Hyena is approaching her and knew that her death is coming. The saying about before dying a person will have recollection of everything happened in his/her life was true because right now Allyson remembered everything she have done in her life since she was a child until the day she turned as a successful businesswoman. A smile formed on her pale face as she closed her eyes and wait for her death. *WHOOOOOOOSH~* "RAWWWRRGHH AWOO~" What she expected to hear is her own voice groaning in pain, but what she least expected to happen has happened, a groaning voice of Gray Hyena reverberate around the dark forest that seems like it''s in pain. 9 Allyson and the group - 2 Allyson slowly open her eyes and she saw an arrow stuck on the right eye of the Gray Hyena while still writhing in pain. Allyson was shocked as she saw what happened and she muster all of the strength she have to look behind her, where might the arrow came from. And there she saw four human running to her. The one who shot the arrow in the eye of the Gray Hyena whose at the back is look like a high schooler asian boy, clad with a brown leather armor, a height of 1.7 meter, black slick hair and a color brown with a hint of orange small eye like an eagle as he hold a black composite bow in his arms while in position of going to shoot an arrow again. The one running faster is a blonde hair young man in his early-twenties that look liked a korean-american. Clad with a black light armor, a height of almost two-meter and well toned body. He''s really a typical campush crush type and with a steel sword in his hand, he''s most likely the swordsman in the group. Followed by middle age black man seems like an black american, with a height of 2 meter, clad with a full body iron armor and a heavy shield. Behind the black american is a teenager japanese like asian girl, a long jet-black hair with straight bangs, 1.6 meter of height, small and cute nose, clad with brown robe and a small rod made of tree in her petite hand. Before the four of them got where she is, Allyson suddenly fell unconcious. The blonde hair young man bend down to help the limping Allyson and when he touched the shoulder of Allyson, as he was trying to turn Allyson''s body he felt a sticky substance and shocked as he saw that Allyson is drenched on her own blood. "Kurisu.. quickly use your First - Aid Healing, she''s dying!" The young man immediately urged the petite teenager girl as he saw the critical condition of Allyson. "B-But.. Minho do we have to risk ourselves just to help a stranger!" Kurisu remark as she saw how Minho trying to help a beautiful woman and Minho action made her annoyed. "What?!.. Stranger?.. Don''t you see she''s dying.. she clearly need some help..Come on!" Minho was also getting annoyed by the reaction of Kurisu knowing that the woman in his arms (Allyson) might die at any moment. Jung Minho is the type of a man who always give a hand to help someone in need even without compensation. Now, seeing that the woman is undeniably in need, he unhesitatingly help her. Kurisu knew that Minho is determined to save the woman, she can''t do anything but just to comply Minho ordered while still grumbling. ''First - Aid Heal!'' [ First - Aid Heal ] Grade : Rare - ( Heal the 2% HP of the target per second for 10 seconds.) (Cooldown: 15 seconds) After Kurisu activate her skill, a red cross magic formation release from her rod and a red light shrouded the body of Allyson, with just a few seconds the wound in Allyson''s body was completely closed. The pain in Allyson''s face was subsided it seems she felt much better but her face is still pale because of all the blood she lost. The others who saw the magic can''t help but to still be amazed like the first time they experienced it. "Thank you! Kurisu.." Jung Minho thanked Kurisu seriously and smiled at her. Seeing the smile of Jung Minho, Kurisu can''t help but to blush, but she just turned her head away. "Hmph!" "Okay, stop arguing.. Now let''s settle this savage beast!" The Black man stop the two from arguing as he remind them to quickly finish the Gray Hyena. "Yes.. you''re right Uncle Scott.." Jung Minho agreed. "Mawi.. you can finish it now." Jung Minho continue as ordered the asian highschooler whose clearly the Archer of the group. With a slight nod, Mawi silently release an arrow straight to the right eye again of the Gray Hyena. *Psshk* The arrow pierced straight to the brain of Gray Hyena as the savage beast breath it''s last breath and turned to smoke into empty air. "Let''s go quickly to the pond direction.." Jung Minho said to the group as he piggy back the unconcious Allyson and lead the way. Seeing the action of Jung Minho, Kurisu can''t help but to curse Allyson repeatedly in jealousy. "Damn.. b*tch!.. Damn W*tch..Damn Sl*t..." Looking at the act of Kurisu who look liked have been possessed, Uncle Scott can''t help but to have a worried smile. On other hand, Mawi were just silently following. They encounter a few hyenas as they thread the way to the pond at the south direction but they easily dispatch those savage beasts. It''s already sunset when they reached the pond area and they found there''s no one yet there except their group. "Let''s make a camp here.. Mawi go scout the area, you Kurisu go and find some dried tree branches and Uncle Scott.." Jung Minho decided to make a camp and quickly ordered the other member which they immediately comply except for Kurisu whose still mumbling. Seeing that Jung Minho is hesitating, Uncle Scott decided to remind Jung Minho seriously. "Minho, don''t hesistate to order me around. You''re the leader of our group remember that." Being reminded of his responsibility, Jung Minho straight his body and sweetly smiled. "Uncle Scott..Thank you, Please look for some material for making an simple tent." Uncle Scott just smile to Jung Minho and move out to do what his leader ordered. Left with a unconcious woman in his back, Jung Minho decided to lay down Allyson in the sleeping bag. ¡ñ---¡ñ---¡ñ---¡ñ---¡ñ---¡ñ 6:20 at the evening. Allyson was woken up by a sound of communicating voices. As she open her eyes, she saw that there are four people encircled around a bonfire while talking to each other and she remembered that they are the people who she''d last saw before she fell unconcious. "Uhm.. excuse m-...*COUGH!*" Allyson was trying to ask them but before she complete her question, she cough painfully. Jolted by the sudden voice Jung Minho and the others turned to look at the source of the voice and found the newly awake Allyson whose coughing badly.

Take it easy, even though your skin is back to original you still lost a lot of blood. Have some more rest.. Here drink first." Jung Minho passed a bottle of water to Allyson while caressing Allyson''s back. Kurisu saw what Jung Minho did as she kept mumbling in jealousy. "Damn.. b*tch.. Minho bottled water.. Minho lips.. minho saliva.." Kurisu keep mumbling as she glare at the bottled water in Allyson''s hand while slowly getting closer to Allyson and with a quick move of her hands, she snatch the bottled water from Allyson''s hands as she continue mumbling in ecstasy. Shocked by what Kurisu have done, Jung Minho can''t help but to berate her. "KURISU! What are you doing?! Give the bottled water back to her!" "Hmph! No way!" Kurisu replied and stick her tongue-out. "You---" "Okay, okay, Minho! Kurisu! enough.. here, miss?.. you can have my bottled water." Uncle Scott quickly stop the two from arguing more as he pass the bottled water to the woman (Allyson). "Uhm.. It''s Allyson.. Allyson Harris Lee, Thank you!" Allyson introduce herself as she grab the bottled water from Uncle Scott. "Hmm.. Allyson..Harris Lee..hmm?" Uncle Scott keep mumbling as he think he felt her name a bit familiar. "Uncle Scott?.. What''s wrong?.. do you know her?" Jung Minho asked Uncle Scott as he saw the weird act of Uncle Scott. "Ah, no.. It''s just.. felt familiar... AH! I remember." Uncle Scott exclaimed as he remembered why Allyson name is familiar. "Y-You''re that Allyson?.. the famous owner of one of the biggest company in America??? oh also in Asia?" Uncle Scott questioned Allyson.

Now that everything is on set, Kim Shin silently brought out his Black Iron Sword from his inventory, Which perfectly fit in his looks. Black Light Armor, Black Pants and of course Black Iron Sword that made him more a black swordsman. With a big stride, Kim Shin quickly advanced on his way. Fifteen minutes Later. After he encounter some zombies and spitters, Kim Shin arrived at the overwhelming 8 meter huge red door. Standing at the front of the Huge Door, Kim Shin can''t help but to criticize again how weird this dungeon is. "What''s up now with this Huge Door?. I felt like an ant while standing here.." Kim Shin grumbled. He doesn''t know what''s behind the Huge Door. Just by standing at the front of the door was already enough to frightened him. Kim Shin felt really afraid but, He can''t go back. Now, that he''s already got here, he doesn''t want to come back empty - handed. And without any choice, Kim Shin lightly pushed the Huge Door with his right hand that made the Huge Door easily opened. ''What a really weird dungeon, I just lightly pushed it, but I didn''t know that was enough to open the huge door..'' Kim Shin kept thinking as he watch the Huge Door slowly opened. *BANG!* With a loud vibration, the Huge door opened widely. Kim Shin slowly walked inside and he found himself in a 1200 sq meter width and 800 sq meter length blue brick-wall Hall Room which have a eight gigantic pillars that supporting the hard to see brick-roof of the Hall Room and a long red carpet at the middle of the 8 gigantic pillars, straight to the stage of the Hall Room. As he followed the long-red carpet, Kim Shin found a colored black baby dragon with a height of half meter standing on the middle of the stage who seems like sleeping. " A baby dragon?.. In a huge room like this?.." Kim Shin felt really baffled as he saw the sleeping cute baby black dragon. ''A big and wide room but only have a small and cute baby dragon, what a waste of space..'' Kim Shin thought. Kim Shin decided to quickly finish the baby dragon while it''s still sleeping. As he stepped his foot on the long-red carpet, the sleeping baby dragon suddenly opened it''s blue glowing eyes and directly glared at Kim Shin. Kim Shin can''t help but to shiver by the sudden glare of the baby black dragon. As the baby black dragon glared at Kim Shin, it tried to intimidate Kim Shin by a fearful dragon roar, but all Kim Shin heard was a cute voice of roaring. Kim Shin thought that all the dread he felt when the baby black dragon glared at him was a joke after he heard the cute roaring voice of the baby dragon. A stifle laughter slip from his mouth as he advanced forward. "Heh, you almost scared me to death.." Kim Shin mumbled as he walked slowly. Hearing the laughter of Kim Shin, the baby black dragon stop it''s roaring in angry as it''s eyes glowed more intensely. With a glowing blue eyes the black baby dragon sucked a lot of air that made it''s belly get bloated and with another roar, A True Dragon Roar reverberated inside the huge room that made Kim Shin''s eardrum almost bled as he defend himself from the fearsome roar of the dragon. As the black baby dragon continue on it''s roaring, it''s body suddenly release a black light that made it''s body getting bigger, 2 meters . . . 3 meters . . . 4 meters . . . 5 meters . . . and it stop on 6 meters height, with another loud dragon roar and a flap from it''s wide wings. [¡ñElite¡ñ Blue Eyed Black Dragon Lv. 15] A color red with a hint of black name of the big monster shown above it''s head. ''Oh.. Sh*t.. this time I''m surely a deadman'' Kim Shin cursed inwardly as he saw the darker red color in the monster name specially the ''Elite'' word. There are four different types of Boss. First is normal boss, which can be defeated by a single five man group at the same level of the boss, with a great set of good quality armors, weapons and skills. Next is Elite type, Which can be defeated by a ten or more person at the same level of the boss, that equipped with rare to unique weapons, armors and skills. The third type is Lord Boss, which need a number of high rankers to defeat a Lord type boss. Lastly is the Demigod type boss, Which reportedly said need a few Top rankers with Mythic Grade Skill to defeat a demigod boss. That''s all Kim Shin remembered, as he died early and didn''t got to know if there''s more different type of bosses. Now, Knowing that the boss at his front is Elite Boss and few levels higher than him. He felt that this is almost impossible battle, Even though his afraid about the high possibility of him to die in this battle. He still braced himself as he toughen his will and didn''t back down from the battle. ''I can do this!'' Kim Shin inwardly encouraged himself.

Without any choice but to fight, Kim Shin take a fighting stance as he get ready for the attack of the Blue Eyed Black Dragon. The Blue Eyed Black Dragon glared and looked down to Kim Shin, like how a human looked down at the ant. Kim Shin felt ludicrous as he saw how the dragon looked at him. ''Hmph..

The Blue Eyed Black Dragon suddenly dashed to him with just a single flap of it''s wide wing. ~WHOOOOOSH~ Kim Shin take a defense position with his sword as he wait for the dragon to strike.

After Kim Shin drank the Basic Health Potion, he felt a bitter taste, it felt like he drank an spoiled milk and a hot feeling run inside him as he felt his fractured ribs mending. The Blue Eyed Black Dragon was furiously looking for Kim Shin, who gone from it''s sight while stomping the ground with it''s huge fist that made the ground cracked and quake. While the Blue Eyed Black Dragon making an uproar, Kim Shin slowly closed his eyes as he do an inhale and exhale breathing. ''Come on, Kim Shin! Remember all of your past experience, all hardships you''ve been through.. all the plan and dreams you want to happen.. Remember everything you''ve learned as a swordsman..!''

A lukewarm feeling run inside him as he saw his burned and injured body slowly recovering. He felt a sudden itch when his burned skin back to original looks.

Kim Shin made a wonderful smile in his visible achievement and improvement, as he struggle to stand up.Even though his injured body is back to it''s normal looked. Kim Shin still felt a dizziness which resulted of loosing a lot of blood. After he waited for his dizziness to subside, Kim Shin excitedly looked for his loots while in an cross-legged sit position. ¡ñ[Blue Eyed Black Dragon''s Scale] (A scale of black dragon hard as a steel A unique grade material can be used for crafting) ¡ñ[Blue Eyed Black Dragon''s Fang] (A sharp fang of black dragon that can pierced through steel.

Because this type of item is really hard to be dropped, It''s one in a billion chance to drop something like this. Because of the characteristics of this item is giving a bloodline of a monster that supposedly a human. This item was caused a few wars of various clans,families,factions,regions and even Continent. Kim Shin was honestly can''t believe how outrageous his luck was. Maybe his really a fortunate person because if not, how the heck should he explain his situation, travelling back in the past. Kim Shin hurriedly took out the Blue Eyed Black Dragon Blood Essence. A black light shone in Kim Shin hands, As the light fades away, Kim Shin saw a black orb that seems like a golf ball. Kim Shin was surprised as he saw the Blood Essence of the Blue Eyed Black Dragon. He didn''t expect that it was like that. He expected it to be something liquid like a health potion but it''s really different. Kim Shin nervously held the blood essence in his hand. He doesn''t know what effect might happen after he drink or swallow this blood essence. ''Oh God..Please don''t blame me if I didn''t cherish the another life you gave to me..!''

It''s all happened for ten minutes, but that ten minutes is felt like forever for Kim Shin who doesn''t want to experience again what he just experienced. After the painful moment, Kim Shin stopped enduring anymore and had a sighed of relief as he fell unconscious. Afterwards, Kim Shin woke up and sit on the ground after an hour of being unconscious, He found himself full of vitality and felt that his Strength improved by a big leap. But he was confused as he can''t found any black scale in any parts of his body. ''Where are those black scale go?.. Did I just Hallucinate because of pain?''

While Kim Shin were moving forward, out of nowhere a 1.4 meter green skin humanoid figure, which holding a crude and rusty short sword appeard at his front. [Goblin Lv. 5] "A goblin..?" Being bullied by bigger, stronger creatures has taught goblins to exploit what few advantages they have: sheer numbers and malicious ingenuity. The concept of a fair fight is meaningless in their society. They favor ambushes, overwhelming odds, dirty tricks, and any other edge they can devise. Goblins have a poor grasp of strategy and are cowardly by nature, tending to flee the field if a battle turns against them. With proper supervision, though, they can implement reasonably complex plans, and in such circumstances their numbers can be a deadly advantage. Kim Shin felt ludicrous after he saw the low level green creature. "I should go in this way at the first place.. I won''t face hardships that early If I goes this way at first.. anyways, let''s make a quick run!"

The other two were equipped with Light Crossbows. "Hmm.. Four melee type and two range type.." *Fwwwoossh~* Two arrows quickly flew at his left and right side which he quickly deflect with his black irow sword. "GRAAAA~" The other goblin also didn''t gave Kim Shin anymore time as they also attacked him. A crude club came at Kim Shin''s upper head, but he quickly dodge it with side-stepped to the right. But, there was a longsworsd waited for him. Kim Shin easily parried it and gave a vertical clean slash to the goblin longsword user neck. *PSSSSHK* "Guaggghh.." Kim Shin attacked didn''t behead the goblin because it was fortunately made a back stepped in right time. But, unfortunately it was enough to Kill the goblin in blood loss. "One down.. " Kim Shin murmured to himself. *Peng*Peng* Another iron arrows came at Kim Shin once more.

Kim Shin continued counting. "GRAaaaaA" The other goblins left cried in anger as they saw their another kin died in Kim Shin''s sword. Drive in anger, both club and dagge? wielder dashed quickly to Kim Shin. *FWOOOSH* Another batch of arrows came at Kim Shin. *Peng Peng* Kim Shin didn''t move he just put his sword slant upwards and both arrows hit the blade of his black iron sword. A crude club came at his left side and he parried it with just a swing of his hand. The club bounced out of the goblin hands. Dazed and unarmed goblin, Kim Shin quickly cut the unarmed goblin from head to toe. *Thud* The goblin was cut in half and it''s body fell onto the ground. "Three down..!" Kim Shin saw that the three left goblin was shuddering in fear. And without furtherado they abandoned the thought of fighting Kim Shin as they run with their dearest life. Goblins love''s to bully with numbers but after they found out that their number is not enough to bully their target they will try to escape without second thinking. "Guaaaaaaghhh.." They shouted as they tried to run. ''Blood Aura'' The running goblins stopped their movements as they felt the bloody killing intent that made them shudder in fear. Kim Shin used his crowd control skill Blood Aura to stop the movements of the green trio. With a quick movements, Kim Shin thrust his sword to the nearest goblin which 3 meters away from him. *PUCHI~* "Guagh!" Green bloods flowed out from the goblins chest after Kim Shin pierced it heart. And with another pounce Kim Shin gave a full-round kick to the goblin with the light crossbow at the left side and cut throat to the other one light crossbow user. "Done!.."

Kim Shin continued clearing the dungeon, he met a few more goblins in the way. After thirty minutes of clearing he reached the first room. He slowly entered the cave-liked room. Inside the room, Kim Shin saw a more than twenty goblins and two variants of goblins which clearly different from normal goblins. [HOBGOBLIN LV. 8] [HOBGOBLIN LV. 8] "Oh.. Of course hobgoblin.." Kim Shin murmured. Hobgoblins have dark orange or red-orange skin, and hair ranging from dark red-brown to dark gray. Yellow or dark brown eyes peer out beneath their beetling brows, and their wide mouths sport sharp and yellowed teeth. A male hobgoblin might have a large blue or red nose, which symbolizes virility and power among goblinkin. Hobgoblins can live as long as humans, though their love of warfare and battle means that few do. "They are both male.." Kim Shin mumbled after he saw the color of the nose of the two Hobgoblin. "Well.. Let''s wrap this up!" 14 Right Pathway - 2 War is the lifeblood of hobgoblins. Its glories are the dreams that inspire them. Its horrors don''t feature in their nightmares. Cowardice is more terrible to hobgoblins than dying, for they carry their living acts into the afterlife. A hero in death becomes a hero eternal. Young hobgoblins start soldiering when they can walk and heed the mustering call as soon as they can wield their weapons capably. Every legion in the hobgoblins'' entire society forever stands prepared for war. "Hobgoblins.. it''s much better than groups of weak goblins.."

He didn''t stop moving, pouncing and dashing to any goblins neared at him as he slit the neck, cut parts of their bodies or pierced the hearts and heads of all the goblins he reached. Kim Shin already killed 8 green goblins, all that happened in just almost in a blink of an eye. He saw the flurry of their attacks in slowed motion because of his high agility. So, killing the measly goblins is just a piece of cake for Kim Shin. An uncoordinated attacks are pretty useless even if they have hobgoblins as they leaders but what would you expect from one of the weakest and weak minded creature(?) Kim Shin downed the number of the green goblins by more than a half. Fouur melee type and four ranged type goblins. Eight green goblins and two red hobgoblins are left in the room. The eight goblins looked at their leaders, as if asking ''What should we do now sire? Should we fight or escape'' look. Seeing that their little soldiers morals are dejected. The two hobgoblins slowly unsheathed their longswords. Kim Shin stopped at his attacks, after he saw that the two hobgoblins are getting ready to join the fight. Holding the longsword with their both hands, pressuring atmosphere are coming out from the both parties. Kim Shin put his black iron sword back in his inventory. "Now, let me test my pseudo dragon body.." Kim Shin mumbled. He opened his closed fist and imagined that both of his arms are covered with black dragon scales. Black light covered his both arms, a sudden light didn''t surprise Kim Shin but the monsters was startled by the black light that surround Kim Shin''s both arms. After a few seconds, the black light fades away and slowly revealed a black dragon scales and a long and sharp claws that covered Kim Shin''s both arms. "Now, come at me..!" Feeling excited, Kim Shin taunted the goblins and hobgoblins. "Graaaaaaa...!!!" As if they are waiting for Kim Shin''s signal, the hobgoblins and goblins shouted as they advanced to Kim Shin. "Haaa..!" Kim Shin also shouted loudly as he felt a full of excitement. He quickly moved forward while grinning. *Bang* *Crack* The ground cracked after Kim Shin stepped so hard as he couldn''t control his emotions and dashed swiftly. Moving swiftly, Kim Shin arrived in almost an instant at the front of the hobgoblins after he passed the eight goblins. *Clang* *Clang* The sound of clashing resound around the room after Kim Shin used his sharp claws to caught the blades of two hobgoblins longswords. "Hooh.." Kim Shin exclaimed in amazement after he saw that the longswords of the hobgoblins can''t even leave a single mark in his black dragon scales. While still holding the blade of two longswords, Kim Shin gave powerful kick to the stomach of the hobgoblin in his right side. *BANG~!*Crack* "Guagh..!" The hobgoblin groaned in pain after the kick of Kim Shin''s cracked his ribs as it flew a few meter backwards and eventually crashed to the ground. Before the hobgoblin that had been kicked crashed to the ground, Kim Shin gave a quick and powerful right punch on the stomach of the hobgoblin at his left side. "Kugh!.." *BANGGG!~* Cried in pain of the hobgoblins as it flew to the green goblins direction whose preparing to shoot Kim Shin. "Gugh.. " "Guah~.." The goblins that hitted by the crashed hobgoblin also grimaced in pain. "Hmm.. Great!" Kim Shin exclaimed in good mood, after he saw the power of his pseudo dragon body. The two hobgoblins struggled to stand their body up. *FWOOOOSSSH~* Another batch of arrows are came at Kim Shin. With a simple movements, He dodged the two arrows and caught the other two arrows. *SNAP* And snapped it with ease. "Guuuuuaaaaauuuu..." "Gaaaauuuuuaaaa..."

Arriving at the front of the hobgoblins, Kim Shin hurriedly tried to caught again the upcoming strikes of the hobgoblins. *BANG!* Kim Shin successfully caught the blade of longswords once more but this time he was pushed back a little. "Hooh.. it''s all you both got after sacrficing your own mind huh.." Kim Shin mocked the two hobgoblins after he felt the power the two hobgoblins have. ''It''s time to finish this..'' Kim Shin thought. Holding the blades with his sharp claws, Kim Shin strongly gripped with his sharp and hard claws the blade of longswords of the two hobgoblins until they snapped in two. *Clang* *Clang* The blade of longswords reveberated around after they fell on the ground. "Now.. you two are unarmed.." Kim Shin said. Being unarmed didn''t stop the hobgoblins, they didn''t mind even without a sword. They attacked Kim Shin empty handed. "Hais.. They are really out of their mind.." Kim Shin mumbled as he saw the act of the rampaging hobgoblins. Without wasting more time, Kim Shin quickly dodge to left the incoming punch and pierced the right chest straight to the heart of the hobgoblins in his left side with his sharp claws.

Kim Shin prayed after he remembered how he almost died facing the dragon as he pushed the Big Door. *Iiiing~* *BANG~!* The widely opened door revealed a huge and wide circular room. Kim Shin found that the room seems like empty. ''Hmm.. that''s weird..'' Kim Shin thought as he felt the situation was weird. Without any choice but to look more inside, Kim Shin entered slowly inside the wide circular room. And suddenly after he land his first step inside, A blue fire torch light up around the wall of the room. Then out of nowhere a big and tall green creature, double heads with big spiky club in it''s hands fell from the black-roof of the circular room. *BANG!~* The ground quake for a few seconds by the impact that monster brought. "Holy cow!" Kim Shin cursed in surprised. [Twin Headed Ogre Lv. 10] 15 Right Pathway - 3 | Boss - I Ogres are as lazy of mind as they are strong of body, They live by raiding, scavenging, and killing for food and pleasure. The average adult specimen stands between 9 and 10 feet tall and weighs close to a thousand pounds. Ogres are notorious for their quick tempers, which flare at the smallest perceived offense. Insults and name-calling can rouse an ogre''s wrath in an instant as can stealing from it, bumping, jabbing, or prodding it, laughing, making faces, or simply looking at it the wrong way. When its rage is incited, an ogre lashes out in a frustrated tantrum until it runs out of objects or creatures to smash. "Heh.. another insane monster.." Kim Shin bitterly smiled after he saw what kind of monster that suddenly shown up while observing it. Normally, the average height of an adult ogre is 9~10 feet. But, this one is really different. It''s 15 feet tall, clad with animal pelts, two big head with only one eye per head and yellow and sharp and few are long fangs. It also have big and round tummy, But, it''s arms are quite build covered with pelt of unknown monster and armed with big great club with some spiky steel on it in his right hand. "It doesn''t look like an ogre to me.. It''s more like a cyclopes." Kim Shin mumbled while thinking to himself. Cyclopes are one-eyed giants that eked out a meager existence in wild lands. Isolationists by nature, they avoid contact with other races and try to drive away strangers in their territory. "Are they parents are cyclopes and an ogre?.. Ew~ what the heck I''m thinking.." Kim Shin was astounded to himself for imagining stupid things. "Okay.. Focus Kim Shin!.." Kim Shin encouraged and slapped himself.

"Come here, big ugly guy!" Kim Shin mocked the big green guy and made a funny face. The Twin Headed Ogre stopped it''s roaring after it heard and saw what Kim Shin''s did and said. Frowning it''s single eyebrow, The eye of both head of the Ogre suddenly turned sharp. "GRAAAAAAA!!!" And released a deafening shout. "Haha..it really have quite a temper!" Kim Shin chuckled after he saw the reaction of the Twin Headed Ogre. *BOOM* *BOOM* Bellowing in anger, The Twin Headed Ogre furiously dashed at Kim Shin that made the ground shake. Kim Shin also didn''t just idle, with a black iron in his right hand. He quickly moved forward to face head on the furious monster. In a few seconds, they arrived at the front of each other. "GRRRRAAAARR" Still roaring furiously, The Twin Headed Ogre swung it''s huge spiky club down to Kim Shin. ''Slow!'' Kim Shin commented in his mind as he saw the incoming attack. *BANG!* The club hit the ground and crumbled after Kim Shin successfully avoided the attack of Twin Headed Ogre by simply; side stepping on the left. Kim Shin didn''t waste the opportunity, he gave a quick slashed to the right hand of the Twin Headed Ogre that left a few centimeter deep cut. "GUAAGH!" The Twin Headed Ogre cried loudly in pain. It was shocked because he doesn''t felt pain for a long time. Especially he didn''t expect to be hurt by a small creature. The damage that Kim Shin made, added to the insult that the Twin Headed Ogre felt. "GRAAAAWWWRR~" Saliva spilled out by screaming big monster as it fiercely glared at Kim Shin. It gave another club attack to Kim Shin, which Kim Shin easily evaded by running between the big ogre legs. Advantage of being big and muscular are having great strength and tenacious body. But, the disadvantage of being big is the slow movement. Kim Shin used his high agility to face the big monster by using it weakness. At the midst of the big ogre legs, Kim Shin made a Double Slash to the right feet of the Twin Headed Ogre. "Guagh.." The Twin Headed Ogre quickly moved up his right feet because of the pain. And it found Kim Shin whose mockingly looking at it. "Bleh.." Kim Shin sticked his tongue out to Twin Headed Ogre.

Kim Shin safely landed few feet away at the attack radius of the Twin Headed Ogre. The big monster frustatedly looked for Kim Shin after it''s target suddenly gone. And it found Kim Shin standing calmly and complete fine. "ARRRRRGHHHH" The Twin Headed Ogre was really infuriated and histerically growled out loud. It''s eyes starting to turn to deep red color. "Here it comes.." Kim Shin murmured as he saw the sign of the fury skill activating by the Twin Headed Ogre. Eyes turned blood-red, bulge veins in it''s every muscled body. "GRRRROOAAAAR" A defeaning roar reverberated at the circular room. With a single big step the Twin Headed Ogre quickly neared at Kim Shin. And a big strike from it''s club swung vertically to Kim Shin. Kim Shin smiled at the enrage ogre and calmly ducked his head to dodge the attack. *WHOOOSH* The attacked speed of the Twin Headed Ogre visibly improved as it splitted the air. After Kim Shin successfully evaded the attack, He immediately advance forward to the right leg of Twin Headed Ogre. But, before he got to moved the giant spiky club of the Twin Headed Ogre swing back at him. ''Oh shit.. I almost forgot that skill..'' Kim Shin thought to himself. He quickly made a dive roll to evade the swinging club. With a quick decision and movements, He arrived at the right leg of the Twin Headed Ogre, And gave another quick slashes to the same place where he slashed the ogre before. *SLASH* *SLASH* *THUD* The tendon in the right feet of the Twin Headed Ogre was cut and it right knee fell onto the ground. "Guaaaagh" The Twin Headed Ogre wailed in the pain it felt. It was really hurt by the damage that Kim Shin inflicted. Without wasting anymore time, Kim Shin quickly slashed the tendon in other leg of the Twin Headed Ogre until it got broken. *THUD* Now on both knees, The Twin Headed Ogre seems like crying glared fiercely at Kim Shin. ''It''s Over!'' Kim Shin thought inwardly. The Twin Headed Ogre attempt to throw another attack to Kim Shin. But, Kim Shin didn''t let the Twin Headed Ogre do what it want. *BANG!~* Kim Shin jumped strongly and quickly straight to the chest of the big monster. With a thrust he pierced the chest of the Twin Headed Ogre. But, his black iron sword was not enough to penetrate the heart of the Big Ogre. Kim Shin put back his black iron sword to his inventory and hastily activated his dragon body to defend the incoming attack. *BANG~!* Kim Shin flew sidewards after he defend the big hand slap of the Twin Headed Ogre. Fortunately he reacted on time and successfully defended the attack but he also recieved a little damage. "Really persistent even it''s already in the face of dying.." Kim Shin mumbled as he saw that the Twin Headed Ogre were trying to attack him once more. Kim Shin quickly pounced forward and pound strongly the big tummy of the Twin Headed Ogre. *BANG!!* "GUAGH~" It groaned once more in pain and coughed out a lot of green blood with saliva. Kim Shin didn''t stop and continue pounding the stomach of the big monster. *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG~* The Twin Headed Ogre laid down powerlessly on the ground after Kim Shin stopped his attacks.

[Anything.] But, Malkthanem answered quickly as if he heard Kim Shin loudly and clearly. "What''s the possibility of me dying?" Kim Shin seriously asked. [Out of 100, the possibility of you dying in the process is 99] Malkthanem saw the serious reaction of Kim Shin. So, he answered him truthfully. [It''s based only on your current stats]. Malkthanem followed. Kim Shin already expected the answer. But, to directly hear from Malkthanem mouth made him want to back out. But, no he doesn''t want to lose this great opportunity. This type of great opportunity only come''s once in a blue moon. ''This the only chance for me to rise up from being weakling'' Kim Shin thought. "Even if the possibility of me dying is high, I still want to give it a try!." Kim Shin bravely announced. [Are you really decided to take the trial?] Malkthanem questioned. At Malkthanem question, Kim Shin nodded seriously. [Okay, since you are determined to take the trial. Let''s quickly start.] Malkthanem replied. With a flick of his left hand the air around Malkthanem rushed away from him , as he stomped his right hand that holding his staff in the ground . *BAM!!* *SHAKING~* The ground shook so hard, as Malkthanem float 4 meters above the ground and made a strange casting spell. [IN DEI NOMINE MORTIS, UT MALKTHANEM VOLEBAT APERIRE VIAM TUAM AD SEPULCRUM] Kim Shin crossed his arms, to defend himself from the air current made by Malkthanem as he looked up at Malkthanem. A big black and white magic circled around with different ancient symbols appeared in the big dome. Kim Shin was struggling to keep his balance because of the wild air current caused by the magic circle. *BOOM!* *SHAKING~* After a few moments, the wild air stopped. As the ground quake once more and, a 3 meter red door rose up from the ground. Finally, the ground stopped shaking. As, Malkthanem slowly flew down to the ground near the door. Kim Shin walked near the door and observe the both sides of it. [Please use the key] Malkthanem urged Kim Shin. Still, being confused, Kim Shin hold the black key but he didn''t find any key hole where to put the key. "Uhm, Where should I put thi-!." Before Kim Shin got to complete his question, the black key was suddenly sucked by the 3 meter red door. ''Woah!'' Kim Shin exclaimed mentally. As, he saw the 3 meter huge door sucked the black key and turned to circular glowing white light like a portal. [Go, Esteemed Guest, quickly hop in! It might vanish at any moment.] With an exhale, Kim Shin nodded his head as he quickly pounced inside the glowing light and he vanished along with the portal. [May the bless of God be with you] Malkthanem softly said, as he silently bade good luck, Kim Shin. [I know this not coincidence, It''s really worth all the time of waiting to finally found you, the presence of Death] Malkthanem quietly murmured, as he fade away with the wind. ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ Kim Shin slowly opened his eyes. As, he found himself lying on a wooden bed wrapped in bandages in an unfamiliar wooden hut. ''Where am I?'' Kim Shin thought. As, he tried to stand up his body. "Ugh!." Kim Shin groaned in pain, as he fell back on the bed. ''What the h*ck?." Kim Shin cursed inwardly, he didn''t know how and where he got his injury. He clearly remembered that, after he goes inside the portal he suddenly lost consciousness. *Knock* *Knock* A sudden knocked come that caused Kim Shin to be startled and, the door was slowly opened and revealed a plain look teenager girl with brown hair. Clad in a rugged green garb, a innocent smile were shown on her chubby face while holding a bowl of food in her hands. "Good evening, Brother Hyunsik. I brought you porridge please eat this, so you can recover faster" The teenager girl said and smiled. "Uhm, sorry. But, who might be you?." Kim Shin asked in confusion. Because, he really didn''t know who is this girl. "Ehh?, Brother, It''s me Sheena. Don''t you remember me?. Is that. Because, your head was beaten so hard that you forgot who I am?." Sheena answered solemnly. "If you didn''t bother the teasing of Gran to me, you won''t be beaten badly like that" Sheena continued. Kim Shin just silently listened in Sheena. Because, his mind right now is in chaotic. He didn''t know what''s happening. Did he die again and transmigrate into a different body(?) "Ugh.." Kim Shin head suddenly ached, for thinking so hard. 18 Trial - II "Brother! Are you okay?, Don''t force yourself. If, you can''t remember me."

As, she slowly and carefully lay Kim Shin back on a straw pillow. "T-Thank you." Kim Shin thankfully said. Laying down on the wooden bed, Kim Shin thoughtfully asked for a mirror. "Uhm, Sheena, can I borrow a mirror?." "Huh?, Why do you need a mirror?." Sheena tilted her head in confusion. But, she quickly took the mirror and held out to Kim Shin. "Thank''s!." Kim Shin replied. As, he took the square shape mirror from Sheena. And, looking at the mirror, Kim Shin found a unfamiliar face. Red like fiery hair, sharp brown eyes, small pointed nose and thin lips. While, his forehead is circled by bandages. ''Sigh'' Kim Shin sighed inwardly, After he saw the unfamiliar face that determined that he''s not in his real body. Kim Shin was perplexed in his situation. So, he tried to think once more. "Hmm, brother, What''s wrong?" Sheena curiously called her brother. But, Kim Shin didn''t hear what Sheena''s said. Because, he''s still in thought deeply. "BROTHER!? " Sheena yelled. Startled by the yell, Kim Shin woke up from his thoughts. "Ah! Yes?." Kim Shin answered confusedly. "What''s wrong with you?." Sheena asked in worry. "Huh?. I-It''s nothing!." Kim Shin stuttering replied. He lied. Because, he can''t tell to his suppose to be sister that he is not her real brother. "Are you sure?." Sheena questioned once more. "Yes, Don''t worry about me." Kim Shin replied. As, he seriously nodded his head. "Fine, Don''t hesitate to tell me. If, there''s any problem brother, Okay?." Sheena said and sweetly smiled. Kim Shin nodded his head slowly. His not used that someone is taking care of him other than his wife. It felt weird for him. "Well, Please open your mouth, Big brother!" Sheena sweetly said. As, she held a spoon of porridge to Kim Shin. Kim Shin looked at Sheena for a second and unhurriedly opened his mouth. Kim Shin expects that the porridge taste will be bad because of their poor status. But, he was wrong. Because, it was delicious to think that it was cooked by a professional chef. "How is it?." Sheena worriedly asked for Kim Shin''s review. Kim Shin slowly swallowed the porridge. As, he looked seriously at Sheena. "Uhm, It''s good. I like it. Please give me more" Kim Shin answered truthfully. "Hehe. Of course, you can have this. I really made this just for you" Sheena chuckled. As, she fed Kim Shin. After feeding Kim Shin, Sheena left the wooden hut to let Kim Shin have a sleep. Finally, left alone. Kim Shin tried to call out his Window System. ''Open Status'' But, nothing happened. ''Huh?!'' He was confused. So, he tried to call out once more. ''Open Status!'' Still, nothing appeared. Feeling anxious, Kim Shin loudly call out. "OPEN STATUS!" And,what''s he afraid to happen was really happened. The System is not working. He didn''t know where is he. He''s in a different body. Lot''s of weird things happened. Ever since, he stepped inside that weird dungeon. Without any idea what to do. Kim Shin ended up sleeping peacefully. And the next day. Kim Shin asked Sheena about a lot of things. And, he discovered that Sheena is four years younger than him. Kim Shin as Hyunsik has the same age of 19. He also got to know that their parents are both adventurers that died in a mission, when they are still kids. Hyunsik job is a farmer in their village. Kim Shin also learned that Gran, son of the Village Chief is the cause of his injury. Gran always bullied Hyunsik. Ever since, he was a child. Because of the reason that they don''t have parents like a normal family. Being a son of the Village Chief, Hyunsik didn''t bother about, whatever Gran did to him. But, he didn''t expect that Gran would turn his attention to his little sister. Gran sexually harassed his little sister. But, fortunately one of the villager saw the act of Gran and quickly tell to Hyunsik. So, all the bullying Hyunsik endured was exploded out. Hyunsik immediately rushed to Gran, and he punched him that broke two teeth of Gran. The furious Gran, called all his thug friends to beat Hyunsik. Learning about the bravery of Hyunsik, Kim Shin can''t help but to admire him. To forget all the consequences just to protect his little sister is really a heroic act. Back at his situation, Kim Shin didn''t find any clue where he at right now. Because, he is still laying on the wooden bed. The days gone by. As, Sheena took care of Kim Shin every day. Until, he completely recovered. Gran didn''t come to trouble them since the day they beat Hyunsik. Kim Shin quickly felt closer to his lovely little sister who always worried about his well-being. Just by almost two weeks with Sheena, Kim Shin already treat Sheena. As, his real little sister. Kim Shin enjoyed his days with Sheena. Until, an unforgettable moment happened. It was at lunchtime. Kim Shin was watering his farm, when he realized that Sheena was still nowhere to be found. Normally, Sheena will always bring Kim Shin lunch. He decided to look for Sheena. So, Kim Shin walked to the wooden hut of Sheena. "Sheena, are you inside?" Kim Shin yelled out of the Sheena''s wooden hut. No one answer inside the hut. But, what''s weird is Kim Shin heard footsteps from inside. With that Kim Shin curiously stepped inside the hut. And there Kim Shin saw one of unforgettable scene in his life. He found the lifeless, naked and swimming in her blood laying on the ground Sheena. Besides Sheena corpse is Gran whose trying to put on his pants, and his two friends. "Sh*t!" Gran cursed. Kim Shin, didn''t expect this moment will come. He felt like dying, he can''t think straight, he failed to protect his first ever little sister, and he failed as a brother. Tears roll down from Kim Shin reddish eyes. As, he looked at the culprits of his dead sister. Kim Shin anger rose up high in the sky. He never felt this feeling before. Even the day he died, he never felt like to destroy everything around him. Kim Shin glared like crazy at Gran, and his friends. He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands to fist. As, he furiously dashed straight to one of Gran friends. Kim Shin didn''t have his stats. In fact, currently he is quite weak for a normal person. With a BAM!. He kicked the stomach of one of the Gran friends. It stumbled down on the ground. As, he also felt pain from the impact. "You, F*cker!" Gran cursed Kim Shin. The still standing friend of Gran, was dazed by the sudden attack of Kim Shin. Kim Shin didn''t let the chance slip, and he immediately punched at the right face of the dazed man. *BANG!* It also fell on the ground. On the other hand, Gran also takes the chance to assault Kim Shin. With a knife in his hand, Gran thrust the knife to Kim Shin back. But, Kim Shin suddenly turned at Gran and quickly grab Gran''s right hand that holding the knife and unhesitatingly twist it. "ARRRRGHHH" Gran cried in pain and the knife fell on the ground with a Clank! "You..will pay for this, my father won''t let you go Hyunsik!" Gran gravely said. Kim Shin didn''t answer Gran, and he gave a heavy punch to the Gran''s face. *BANG!* "ARGHH!" Gran fell on the ground unconscious. All the culprits was laying on the ground. Kim Shin picked up the knife on the ground and pierced the culprits heart with a bloody knife. Afterwards, Kim Shin walked closer to Sheena''s corpse. He silently held Sheena''s body to his arms. "I-I''m sorry that I''m not a good brother to you. I didn''t do well my responsibility. I just let you die. I''m really sorry, I just hope you''re now on a peaceful place. I already avenge you my little sister." Kim Shin cried a lot. He can''t explain what his feeling right now. He just want to get out of this place with Sheena. So, Kim Shin lift Sheena''s body. He decided to bury Sheena in a wonderful place. But, before Kim Shin got to leave the wooden hut. He felt a hot fluid flowing out from his back. ''Ugh!'' Kim Shin taste blood in his mouth. As, he felt pain from his back. He slowly turned his head to look at his back, and he found Gran holding the knife that pierced his back through his heart. "You, didn''t expect this right, Hyunsik?" Gran said grimly. "I am born different, My heart was at the right side of my chest.." "Now, you don''t have to worry about your sister. You will meet her soon! Haha" Gran laughed maniacally. It was really unexpected for Kim Shin. ''Is this my karma? Because I can''t protect my little sister? If this is really my karma, I wholeheartedly accept my fate'' Kim Shin thought as he fell on the ground with Sheena. ''I can''t believe that I''m going to die once more'' Kim Shin thought inwardly as his consciousness fade away. ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ After an unknown amount of time, Kim Shin opened his eyes. ''Ugh'' As, he looked at his surrounding. He found himself in Hyunsik wooden hut still covered in bandages. "Huh?, Did all of that just a dream?." Kim Shin confusedly questioned himself. He didn''t know what''s happening. *Knock* *Knock* "Good evening, Brother Hyunsik. I brought you porridge please eat this, so, you can recover faster" "Huh, SHEENA!" Kim Shin cried out in shock. 19 Trial - III Shin immediately stood up, despite his injured body. He quickly pounced to hug Sheena. "S-Sheena.." Kim Shin mumbled. As, tears started to flow from the corner of his eyes. "Eh?. Big Brother, what''s wrong?." Sheena confusedly asked his brother. As, she held the bowl of porridge tightly. "Nothing, I''m just glad that you''re fine." Kim Shin answered. As, he hugged and sincerely looked at Sheena''s eyes. "Are you sure?" Sheena still worriedly asked. She didn''t know what''s happening to his brother to act, like this. Kim Shin only nodded his head still clinging tightly at Sheena. "Okay, Please, take it easy. You''re not fully healed yet. I made you a porridge. Please, eat this." Sheena helped Kim Shin to lay back on the wooden bed. "I''m really happy that you are completely fine, Sheena" Kim Shin genuinely said. "It''s all thanks to you big brother. Still, if you didn''t bother the tease of Gran to me. You won''t beaten badly" Sheena thankfully replied. "Huh? Didn''t all of that happened few weeks ago?" Kim shin asked in bafflement. "What do you mean? You were beaten just last day" Sheena answered. As, she looked at Kim Shin weirdly. While on other hand, Kim Shin was shocked to know that he was backed onto the first day he woke up in this wooden hut. Until, he realized what''s happening. ''So, it''s a restart'' ''Do I need to save Sheena?'' ''But I should have already failed the test. Because, I failed to protect Sheena'' Kim Shin thought. Looking at his brother whose in the deep thought. "Big Brother, what are you thinking?" Sheena curiously called Kim Shin. "Ah, nothing. Let''s eat" Kim Shin quickly response. As, he smiled at Sheena. ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ At the day before the day Sheena will die. Kim Shin tried to convince Sheena to leave the Village. It''s the only thing he thought of to save her. Because, he just can''t kill Gran, the only son of the Village Chief. And he can''t just wait for Gran and his friends to come to violate Sheena. He can''t take to use Sheena as a bait, and he can''t let any wrong move happen. So, without any choice but to move out from the village. Kim Shin successfully convinced Sheena to run away from the village. In the evening, at the outskirts of the village. "Big brother, do we really need to do this?" Sheena sadly questioned Kim Shin. "Yes, Sheena. Don''t worry, I''ll protect you. Trust me!" Kim Shin replied strongly. As, he confidently assured Sheena. "Let''s go!" Clad with a black cloak and armed with an axe. Kim Shin and Sheena dashed through the dark wild forest. After a few hours of running, Kim Shin and Sheena sat on the ground exhausted. "Huff..Huff.. Big Brother, do you think we will face monster on the way?" Sheena asked in fear. "I''m here, I''ll protect you with my life. Okay?" Kim Shin assured Sheena once more. Sheena weakly nod. In the midst of their resting. Kim Shin heard a rustling sound. As, he picked up his axe and stood up. "Quickly, Sheena get behind me!" Kim Shin hurriedly ordered Sheena to hide behind him. "What''s wrong brother?" Hiding behind his brother, Sheena curiously asked Kim Shin. "Shh. Quiet" Kim Shin hushed Sheena. Silently observing his surroundings, Kim Shin didn''t saw anything. *Rustle* *Rustle* Hearing again the rustling sound. Kim Shin quickly turned his head at left side where the source of the sound came from. But, he didn''t find anything. Sweat falling from his forehead to his chin. And with a ''whoosh''. A thick and long thorny vine instantly appeared at Kim Shin''s face. Fortunately, his decision to push down Sheena and ducked his head saved them. While, down on the ground.

And the cut pieced fell on the ground twitching. "KWAAAAAA" A screeching sound reverberated after Kim Shin sliced the thorny vine. "So, you''re hiding there!" Kim Shin exclaimed. As, he looked at the left side direction of their place. While, looking at the direction of screeching. The thorny vines that had been cut starting to move again and it was regenerating at a fast rate. "Sheena, Quickly run far away! I''ll follow you later." Kim Shin yelled. "B-But, how about you big brother?" Sheena asked while crying. "Don''t worry about me. Just run, Go!" Kim Shin said loudly. As, he evades the piercing assault of the thorny vine. "Be careful big brother!" Sheena shouted and immediately escape. ''You too, be careful'' Kim Shin thought while watching Sheena escape. Now that Sheena was far away, Kim Shin immediately sprint to the direction of the main body of thorny vine. As, he also evades the attacks of the thorny vine. Rushing quickly, he arrived at the source of the screech. And he found a 12 foot tall pink flower, with a big mouth full of sharp teeth, and five more vines that act like tentacles. Kim Shin shivered at the sight of the monster. ''Damn, what a sh*t luck'' Kim Shin cursed mentally. *SCREECH* The enormous monster made a deafening screech once more. After, it saw the culprit that cut its thorny vine. The furious flower monster, started to attack Kim Shin using its tentacle like thorny vines. *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* Kim Shin anxiously evaded all the thorny vines. As, he also countered attacked. *SLASH* Slashing and evading is very taxing to his current physique. *SCREECH* The enormous flower continues screeching. While, Kim Shin concentratedly evades all the incoming attacks. After fifteen minutes of evading and slashing. Kim Shin felt that his stamina is already at limit. "Huff..Huff.. I''m slowing down" Kim Shin murmured in heavy breathing. ''I''m sorry, Sheena. It seems like I can''t follow you. Still, you are probably far away and safe right now.'' Kim Shin sadly thought. Another flurry of attacks are coming, Kim Shin forcefully moved his foot to evade the attack. But, with his stamina at limit. He''s still moved too late. *PUCHI* *PUCHI* "UGH!" Kim Shin groaned and coughed a mouthful of blood. As, the thorny vines pierced his body. ''Thankfully, I let Sheena run away first. I hope this time I pass the test.'' Kim Shin thought. As, he smiled and tried to close his eyes. But, before he got to close his eyes. He was shocked to see Sheena who''s crying while running to him. "Big Brother.." Sheena cried. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? I ALREADY SAID RUN AWAY FROM HERE!" Kim Shin loudly yelled at Sheena. "B-but!" Sheena tried to reason. But, Kim Shin didn''t let her finish what she''s gonna say. "JUST RUN! PLEASE, GO!" Kim Shin begged. As, he roared. ''UGH!'' Kim Shin moaned in pain. As, he felt that the flower monster, starting to suck his blood. "Please.. run.." Kim Shin weakly begged. Looking at the dying Kim Shin, Sheena didn''t have any strength to continue forward. As, she turned back and run. But, before Sheena got to run far away. A sudden flash appeared and pierced Sheena. ''UGH'' The thorny vine impaled Sheena like a barbecue. "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Kim Shin loudly cried. As, his consciousness fade away. ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ "NOOOOO!!!* Kim Shin yelled. As, he opened his eyes and found that his backed again at the wooden hut. "Huff.. huff.. I failed once again..*sigh*" Kim Shin sighed. As, he failed to protect Sheena from dying once more. *Knock* *Knock* "Good evening, Brother Hyunsik. I brought you porridge please eat this, so, you can recover faster" Sheena said. "Sheena.." Kim Shin softly mumbled. As, he saw Sheena. ''This time, I won''t let you die. I promise.'' Kim Shin inwardly vowed to himself. "Quickly eat this, Big brother." Sheena urged. "Thank you, Sheena" Kim Shin thanked. As, he smiled at Sheena. Kim Shin lovingly spooned the home-made porridge and put in his mouth. After he swallow the spoonful of porridge. Kim Shin saw that Sheena was smiling weirdly. After a few second, Kim Shin taste a coppery taste. As, he coughed a mouthful of blood. *Cough* *Cough* "What''s the meaning of this, Sheena?" Kim Shin questionably asked. "HAHA.. It''s all your fault. Big brother. Because, you didn''t stop mother and father from going to their mission. If, you stop our parents, we won''t be like this. We still have a normal and happy family." Sheena blamed her brother. As, she laughed like possessed. ''Why?'' Kim Shin last thought. As, he died once again. ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ After uncountable restart. Kim Shin felt almost all the negative emotions a human can experience. Regret, grief, guilt, betrayed, and etc. He didn''t know how many times he experienced death. ''WHAT''S WRONG WITH THIS TRIAL, HOW TO END THIS?'' Kim Shin questioned himself. He kept thinking even after Sheena brought the porridge, Kim Shin didn''t eat the porridge. He just kept thinking. ''What''s the reason, what should I do?'' ''Sheena..Sheena..Sheena" Kim Shin kept mumbling Sheena''s name. ''AH!'' Kim Shin inwardly exclaimed. ''Now, I realize. I''m always wrong. Why I didn''t think of that?'' Looking at Sheena who''s convincing Kim Shin to eat. Kim Shin suddenly called out Sheena. "Sheena, can I borrow your mirror?" Kim Shin asked. "Hmm. Okay, here!" Sheena doubtly looked at Kim Shin. But, she still held the mirror to Kim Shin and she didn''t expect what Kim shin did after she gave the mirror. Kim Shin slammed the squared mirror at the wooden wall. He picked up a piece of fragment of broken mirror. And he suddenly thrust the fragment mirror to Sheena''s left chest. "UGH!..Why did you do this brother?" Sheena weakly asked. "Don''t call me brother, I''m not your brother. Show your real nature!" Kim Shin retort. "Hehe. Finally, you realize who''s your opponent" Sheena evilly smiled. As, her voice changed like a monster. 20 Trial - IV "Hehe. Finally, you realize who''s your opponent" Sheena evilly smiled.

Watching, Sheena evilly smiled and transforming into an unknown cre?ture. Sheena''s pale skin slowly cracked and one by one peel off to the ground. As, the 10 foot tall black shadow monster appeared. The appearance of the shadow monster seems like a priest. Because, it was armed with a big black staff, clad with a long priest robe with a mysterious pendant on its neck. "For you to have a steel of mind is really admirable. No, it''s almost impossible achievement. You died for 99 times and you didn''t go crazy. It''s really unbelievable!" The shadow priest seriously said. As, it admired Kim Shin unbelievable feats. "Who are you?" Kim Shin asked while frowning. "Me? You will come to know at the right time" The shadow priest answered mysteriously. "The current you, doesn''t have enough authority to learn more about me. Still, congratulations for reaching the final test" The Shadow Priest, congratulate Kim Shin. "Final Test?" Kim Shin asked curiously. "Yes, the initial test is how long can you keep your self sane. And, I was truly surprised that you managed to last until the end. But, don''t be conceited yet. You still have to pass the final test" The Shadow Priest answered. As, it suddenly changed to Kim Shin appearance. "This is your last test, defeat YOURSELF!" The Shadow Priest loudly announced. As, it quickly rushed to Kim Shin.

Kim Shin and the Shadow Kim Shin threw a right punch to each other face at the same time. *BAM!* The impact forced Kim Shin to stepped backward twice. However, The Shadow Kim Shin only stepped back once. ''Damn'' Kim Shin cursed. Despite of the visible different in their power, Kim Shin immediately delivered another left punch to Shadow Kim Shin. But, The Shadow Kim Shin also didn''t hesitate to make a left jab to Kim Shin face. *BAM!* Hit at the same time, the same previous result happened once again. ''Okay, it''s enough for me to know that this other me is surely stronger than my current strength'' Realizing that he would down early if he continue fighting like this. Kim Shin jumped backward to make a distance. But, The Shadow Kim Shin, didn''t let Kim Shin have a chance to get a distance. It immediately rushed at Kim Shin. Fortunately, Kim Shin knew his own attacking style. So, he managed to moved his head a little to left and successfully evaded the straight punch of the Shadow Kim Shin. ''Followed by uppercut'' Kim Shin thought. As, he made a backflip to dodge the coming uppercut of Shadow Kim Shin. In the midst of his backflip, Kim Shin threw a simple kick to the Shadow Kim Shin''s chin. As, he pushed his hand on the ground to bounce his body and get more distance. The Shadow Kim Shin, didn''t have any emotion even after it got kicked on the chin. But, it stopped its movement and only silently watch Kim Shin.

The additional +50% to all stats when he''s inside the dungeon is already incredible. But, the added +100% of Health and Magic Recovery is undeniably unbelievable. Imagine, If Kim Shin''s stats reached like a superhuman, his recovery speed will also be a superhuman. So, if he equip the Dungeon Conqueror title and he come inside a dungeon. His superhuman recovery speed will doubled. Kim Shin most likely invicible in a dungeon when that time comes. ''Dungeon Conqueror?'' Kim Shin confusedly thought. Because, he can''t remember anything or anyone with a title of a Dungeon Conqueror. But, he heard before a Dungeon Subjugator. Since, it was one of the big incident that will happen in Yggdrasil. They said that Dungeon Subjugator title is given to those person who had solo cleared a unexplore dungeon. The same feat that Kim Shin had done. But, the difference is Kim Shin is the first human in this timeline to Solo Cleared an unexplored dungeon. "Dungeon Subjugators.." Kim Shin murmured. As, he remembered his bitter encountered with Dungeon Subjugators. Shrugging off his mind from something didn''t happen yet. Kim Shin continue to scroll down at his achievements. [You''ve received 1000 soul points for Clearing the Tomb of the Death] ¡öHidden achievement complete. Additional +500 soul points for clearing a dungeon. "A total of 1500 soul points?!" Kim Shin loudly exclaimed in ecstacy. He didn''t expect that he will receive a big reward for clearing a dungeon. Considering their limit before, Kim Shin and his temporary team didn''t try to go deeper in a dungeon. "Now that I already have the required amount, I should quickly buy it before It gets too late.." Kim Shin cheerfully murmured. As, he excitedly open the System''s Shop. Afterwards, Kim Shin scrutinizing scroll down and jovially clicked at the new skill book he surprisingly acquired. A white light appeared at his right hand, leaving a small black book. (Do you want to learn the ''Negative Effect Immunity?'' [Yes|No]) The system window appeared asking if he want to learn the skill book. ''Of course!'' Kim Shin thought. As, he excitedly clicked the [Yes] button. [You''ve successfully learned ''Negative Effect Immunity] [Negative Effects Immunity](Passive) Grade: Special Skill Effect:(¡ñThe user will be immune to all different types of negative effects) ¡öRewarded especially to the person who experience death multiple times. "What? Special Skill?" Kim Shin gaped in astonishment. In 8 years of his experience and knowledge in Yggdrasil, Kim Shin didn''t encounter or heard about a Special Skill. "Immune to crowd control!.." Kim Shin grinned. As, he imagine the faces of his opponents if they come to know that his immune with negative effects. "Right! I can explore now without so much difficulty the Poison Paradise Mountain. Now, that I''m also immune to poison. Hehe." He was exhilarated to realize that this Special Skill is truly gift from Heaven. Finally, after an eye-opener rewards. Kim Shin heavily look at his new acquired Class. [ Would you like to accept the class ''Holy Priest?'' ] [ Yes | No ] The system asked for his reply. ''Oh geez'' ''Priest?'' Kim Shin was too bewildered to say anything. He never expected to be a support type class. Especially a Priest. He''s no saint. So, he was doubtful to accept the class. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Thankfully, he have a choice. The fact that the class wasn''t being forced on him meant that he had another choice. He doesn''t need to hesitate. ''Why do it have to be a priest, I''m not used to stay at the rear. I always act and fight like a fighter.'' Kim Shin thought. As, he decides to refuse the offer. "No." Then, the system asked again. [ The Holy Priest is a "Hidden Class". Would you still want to refuse? ] It was basically the same question, but he could not readily replied after being asked twice. This time, he hesitated. "Hidden..Class?" It was certainly something that could be found in a game, but in reality, there were people with rare class. A user that can summon an Army of Beast. Kim Shin also heard a rumor that there''s a user that can transform into a magic beast without a help of bloodline. And those user with rare class abilities worked for large families, clans, guilds, sect and other organizations that wielded an immense amount of influence and power. ''When it says, ''Hidden Class'' is it talking about those with rare class abilites?'' If that was the case... ''This might be a very good chance.'' Kim Shin imagined the system talking to him. "I''m offering you Holy Priest class because I know you want a great power." In that sense, the Holy Priest was probably a powerful class. In fact, he remembered that most of powerful figure in Yggdrasil fell under the Support-class. On the contrary, he would be a Support-class with special power under the experience of 8 years combat class. Little by little, his heart began to race. ''If I could only try out the Holy Priest-class. I wouldn''t be hesitating this much.'' But it was a hopeless thought. Things wouldn''t just go like that his way, and he never heard of anyone with such powers. In fact, he had never heard of priests who fought and heal in the fight. When he reached that line of thought, ''Wait, Didn''t the Shadow I fought and Malkthanem seems like a priest.'' In a way, he never see the Shadow used it staff or healed himself. If the final test is a combat test, Kim Shin was surely gonna fail and would die inside that dimension. Imagining that, If his opponent were a healer with unbelievable combat prowess. He can''t help but to shivered. A chill ran down his back. Kim Shin looked up at the floating message. It quietly, waited for his reply. [ The Holy Priest is a "Hidden Class". Would you still want to refuse? ] Contrary to before, it did not press the question. Kim Shin asked within his thoughts, ''Is this what you wanted for me?'' Of course, the System did not reply. After much thought, Kim Shin made a decision. If it was giving him a strong power, He would accept. He no longer hesitated. [ Would you like to accept the class? ] "Alright" As if waiting, the System immediately sent the next message. Ding~ [ You''ve accepted your class. Depending on the Test points earned, you may advance to the higher class. The points will be calculating now. Calculating ... ] While the System calculated, Kim Shin decided to have a rest for a while. His mentally fatigued. So, he decided to sat at the ground. And brought out a dried rations from his inventory. It''s been three days, since he come inside the dungeon. While eating a dried food, Kim Shin can''t help himself but to reminisce about the food that Sheena always made just for him. He bitterly smiled at his imaginary little sister. [ You''ve surpassed the expected time limit! Extra points are awarded ] ''Not sure what the expected time limit, but I did last for quite a long time. Before, I realize who''s my real enemy.'' Kim Shin chuckled in satisfaction, but then suddenly, another System message appeared before his eyes. [ You''ve defeated the enemy in unprecedented way. Extra points are awarded ] [ The aggregate trial points have surpassed the required amount. As, agreed a special reward will be provided ] Kim Shin, heard the System message but he only affixed his gaze at the two specific words. "Special Reward?" Kim Shin''s mouth that were munching the dried food froze, and his eyes stared at the message box. He could not look away. The message continued. Ding~ [ You have advanced from Holy Priest to higher class Death Priest ] [ You''ve learned class-specific skills ] [ You''ve obtained 10 stats points ] [ You''ve obtained the title ''One Who Triumphed Over Death'' ] ''Death Priest?'' At unfamiliar name, he quickly opened his status screen. [ Name: Kim Shin ] [ Level: 13 ] [ Job Class: Death Priest ] His new class was placed at the appropriate spot. ''It''s not Holy Priest?'' The System did tell him that depending at the trial points, it was possible to advance to a higher class. And just now, it told him that his trial points surpassed the required amount. And the resulting class was the ''Death Priest''. Hence, he curiously opened his new Class-specific skills. [ Death Priest ] Grade: Unknown ¡ñSoul Cleave Lv.1 - ( Death priests travel to the corpses of sentient beings, and absorbs a small portion of death essence left in the deceased body ) Effects: The deceased who had Soul Cleave by the Death Priest would lessen the grief and negative emotions that the family, friends and loved one''s experiencing. A part of the accumulated negative emotions will transfer to the Death Priest. In Contrary to that, there''s a small chance to acquire the Skills and Knowledge of the deceased that had been Soul Cleaved. ( Cooldown: 15 minutes ) ¡ö Soul Cleaved - 0/100 He didn''t know what to say, did the System really want him to be a masochist(?) Absorbing a bit of death essence left in the deceased body and received the negative emotions, Kim Shin wanted to cry so bad right now, knowing that he will experience all the feeling he experienced with Sheena. But, despite of that. Kim Shin, hopefully imagine what type of skills he will get in the future, even if the chances are small. Amidst of his imagination, there''s a big question running in his mind right now. Why is his class grade is unknown(?) ''It''s already powerful, what other skill does it have?'' He didn''t have anymore thought to find a strong skill after he saw the definition and effects of the Soul Cleave. Next, ¡ñSoul Heal Lv.1 (Active) ( Heal 25% of the target health instantly ) (Cooldown: 5 minutes) "The trademark skill of a Priest-class, Healing skill, this is good. Although it''s only 25% of HP, but instantly.." Next, he clicked at the next skill information. ¡ñSoul Control Lv.1 (Active) ( The user will release a black ball of light with a distance of 10-meter the target will be control for a duration of 10 seconds. ?If the target is low-level than the user 100% chance to control the target. ?If the target is same-level than the user 75% chance to control the target. ?If the target is high-level than the the user 45% chance to control the target. ) ( Cooldown: 10 minutes ) ''A crowd control skill!'' Another crowd skill have joined, Kim Shin''s skills list. Not just a typical crowd control, but one of the rare control skill. Although it was only for a few second, it could be deadly if used at the perfect time. Scrolling down, ¡ñFace of Death Lv.1 (Active) (? The user can change his/her face and aura into anyone that have been soul cleaved. ? The user will lost 1 MP per minute until the user deactivate the skill. ) ( Cooldown: 30 minutes ) "This is..." He was speechless, this is the least thing he thought to be included at the Priest skill. ''Life saving..skill'' He could be almost anyone with this, he doesn''t need to be afraid of anyone. As long as they didn''t know his real face. And at the end skill, ¡ñDeath''s Blessing Lv.1 (Passive) ( Increase all the stats by 0.5 at every Soul Cleave ) Kim Shin eye''s twinkle like a star. As, he saw the passive skill of Death Priest. Even though it was only 0.5 per Soul Cleave, he probably Soul Cleaved a lot before he hit the limit. ''Fortunately, the System asked me twice or else, I might really abandon this powerful class.'' After he got to checked everything and he already have enough rest to continue. Kim Shin, could not wait anymore to see the outside again. So, he excitedly rush out from this dungeon. ''WHOOSH'' 22 Mortiss After he got to checked everything and he already have enough rest to continue.

So, he excitedly rush out from this dungeon. ''WHOOSH'' Kim Shin lightly pushed the sealed door. *CREAK* The Huge Door slowly made a small opening, Despite of that he immediately run through the slit opening. He could not wait any longer. However, before he got to run far away. He sense something falling from above, he quickly looked up and saw a shiny thing that directly fell at his right hand. ''What is this?'' Kim Shin curiously inspect the red diamond shape gem, covered with black at the edges and a thread steel connected to it like a pendant at his hand. ''Appraise'' [Mortiss Pendant] Grade: Special Effects: ¡ñ All the accumulated negative emotions will be sucked by this pendant. (0/1000) ¡ñ Additional + 20 Luck ¡ö Awarded with a title ''Mortiss'' to the Follower of Sovereign of Death. "Special Grade Item!" The pendant stats came as a surprise to him. He didn''t anticipate that some falling item would be a special rank item with a hidden stat ''Luck''. ''Is this a congratulatory Item from Malkthanem?'' With this item, he wouldn''t need to worry about the side effect of soul cleaving. He could Soul Cleave without difficulty. ''Did he already knew that I could pass the trial or it''s just a hunch?'' He realize that Malkthanem was shrouded in mystery. He doesn''t have any idea on how much power does Malkthanem have. ''Sovereign of Death follower..?'' ''Am I one of the followers of the Sovereign of Death now?'' Kim Shin is utterly confused, he unexpectedly become a follower of Sovereign Of Death. His strong desire to have a strong power seems like brought him in the dark path. But there''s something different, Usually when they said Sovereign of Death or anything about ''Death'' it''s all about something bad. However, he''s soul cleaving seems like on the opposite. Instead of making the deceased undead, the soul cleaving is releasing them from the grief or darkness. Despite of being confuse, Kim Shin happily equipped the Mortiss Pendant. As he equipped the Mortiss Pendant, Kim Shin looked up at the Mortiss title information. Ding~ System Window popped-up and the Mortiss information appeared before Kim Shin''s eyes. [ Mortiss ] Effects: ? Additional +50% attack damage when facing undead creature. ? Additional +50% damage reduction when facing undead cre?ture. ¡öBane of all undead''s; Symbol Pendant of a follower of the Sovereign of Death. "Bane of undead''s.." whew~ Kim Shin sighed. Because, he was certain that this Sovereign of Death is probably had a serious problem with undead''s. ''Oh right, there''s another one..'' He suddenly remembered that there''s another title he got at the same time when he accepted his new class. Opening his Window System, He opened his status screen and clicked at his title. [Title: Dragon Slayer | Chosen One](4 more..) ¡ñExplorer¡ñ ¡ñDungeon Conqueror¡ñ ¡ñOne Who Triumphed Over Death¡ñ ¡ñMortiss¡ñ And there, he found the title ''One Who Triumphed Over Death'' and he clicked to see the information. [ One Who Triumphed Over Death ] Effect: ? For every 1% HP lost, all stats increased by 1%. ¡ö It''s a title given to the one who has courageously endured Death multiple times. ''I like it!'' It was an amazing buff that would increase all of his attributes as he lost life. The ''Dragon Slayer'' was decent title on its own, increasing his attributes by 40% against reptile-type monsters. However, its condition made it difficult to see the benefit most of the time. ''If I''m facing something other than a reptile-type, It would be a useless title.'' And now he had earned something that he could always use. After thinking about it, without hesitation. Kim Shin changed his title. [Title: One Who...| Chosen One] (4 more..) The unused title would be hidden, but he could always swap it out when he needed it. ''Next is stats'' He remembered that after he accepted his class at the same time with class-specific skills and title, he also received a 10 free stats points.

Even with his new class, Kim Shin doesn''t have any plan yet to change where he should put his 25 available stat points. He put 10 to his strength and another 10 to agility. The 5 points left ended up on Intelligence. Strength: 39(10) = [49] Dexterity: 25 + (10) = [35] Agility: 47 + (10) = [57] Constitution: 35 + (10) + (10) = [55] Intelligence: 15 + (10) = [25] His current stats, without wearing the ''King Olazusk Fury Bracer'' Kim Shin closed his status screen. He had sufficiently absorbed all of the new information. ''With this stats, I can safely end the tutorial with flying colors. Hehe'' Kim Shin grinned. ''Time to ge out, I guess'' As soon as he finished checking and preparing everything, He immediately sprinted. The power of the stats did not shine just in fighting monsters. When he focused, time slowed down. More accurately, Kim Shin had sped up. ''WHOOSH'' ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö A few meters outside of the Tomb of the Death Dungeon, a group of 13 men were camping. Some were eating, drinking water, and few of them were guarding a simple handmade tent, exhaustion were display at their faces. *Rustle* The few guards who were armed with a long sword and light leather armor was alarmed by the rustling sound. "Who''s there?!" The guards called out in alertness. "It''s me.." A skinny man with a light leather armor and a green bandana on its head showed up. The few guards who''s alerted by the rustling sound, had a sighed of relief after they saw that his one of them. Lowering their guard a bit, one of the guards asked the skinny man. "What''s wrong, where is the other one with you?" The guard asked curiously. As, he didn''t see the other man who should be with this skinny man. "I have an important report to the Leader and about the other one, I left him to look-out on the thing we discovered." The skinny man calmly answered. "Tell me, what''s the important matter?" The guard asked excitedly. As, he thought that he might get on the good side of their boss. If, he''s the one who delivered the Important report to their Leader. The skinny man glared at the fantasizing guard. "Are you sure about that?." A chill run down at the guard''s back. With his greed to get on the good side of their Leader. He almost forgot, what kind of person this skinny man had. "Ah, No!. Let me guide you to the Leader." The guard instantly answered in panic and hold the tent open to let the skinny man have a way to enter. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö At the front of the ''Tomb of the Death'' dungeon. A tall burly man with a long scar vertically on his nose that clad in an iron heavy armor and armed with Great Axe were standing with a skinny man beside him. Behind him is 13 more seems like crook people. "Is this the dungeon?" The burly man questioned the skinny man beside him. "Yes, Although I''m not completely sure yet. But, most likely it''s a dungeon." The Skinny man seriously answered. Even though he didn''t get to explore it yet. He was pretty sure that this is a dungeon. *Badum* *Badum* His heart beat starting to race. He always imagine what kind of monster they would encounter inside this dungeon. "Good, after this you will be greatly rewarded." The burly man promised. But, the skinny man didn''t have a high hopes with the promise reward. He didn''t need anything, but to explore the dungeon. "Okay, Guys! Are you all ready? We''re gonna raid a dungeon!" The burly man announced. "YES! LEADER!" "We''re all ready prepared!" "Let''s go, Leader!" The crowd answered loudly in chorused. "Okay, LET''S GO!" The burly man loudly declare. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö After walking for a few minutes. The group of 15 men, found theirselves in a Hall Room size with a three pathways. "Boss, which way should we go?." Asked by one of the men of the burly man. "Hmm. Now, that we''re already standing at the front of this Middle Pathway. Let''s go with this way." With their Leader decision, the group continued forward. But, before they got to move forward, the dungeon suddenly start trembling. "Woah, Woah!" "What''s happening?" Confusion filled the faces of the group. While keeping his balance, the burly man suddenly frown. As, he saw someone running at them that came out from the Middle Pathway. "Sh*t! What a devious dungeon.." Kim Shin grumbled. As, he keep running. The dungeon was really full of unexpected surprises. Because, after he ran for a few minutes, a System window suddenly popped up out of nowhere. Informing him that the dungeon will collapsed in 5 minutes. He never expect that clearing this dungeon would result on collapsing. So, despite of the trembling dungeon, Kim Shin kept on running. "Eh? Humans?" ''Oh, it''s already at the third day of the tutorial. They are probably the group who found the King Olazusk Fury Bracer before?'' 23 Instant Kill ''Oh, it''s already at the third day of the tutorial. They are probably the group who found the King Olazusk Fury Bracer before?'' Kim Shin, didn''t know what to do. Should he tell them that the dungeon is going to collapse or just ignore them. He''s not a good guy. But, he also have humanity in him. And especially he didn''t have any bad encounter with this group before. Getting insane with his thoughts. After much deliberation, Kim Shin made a decision about what to do. "Run! Don''t just stand there, the dungeon will collapse at any moment!" Kim Shin yelled. As, he ran passed through them. *TREMBLE* *CRACK* BAM! BAM! The brick roof started cracking and the debris fell on the ground that smashed the unfortunate men to their deathbeds. "Retreat! Go, RETREAT!" Kim Shin heard the decision of the group. He, turned his head to looked back and frowned to found that amidst of panicking group. There are two different men who''s seems calm and glaring at him with killing intent while they retreat. ''Hmm. Burly and Skinny..'' ''Appraise'' Kim Shin silently appraised the burly man. Ding~ Information window of burly man appeared before his eyes.

Dumbfounded at what he saw. Kim Shin wondered if this man is a wood-cutter on earth before. ''The world is really small, for me to meet a suppose to be one of the powerful figures in Yggdrasil. But, unfortunately he''s already corrupted.'' Kim Shin was certain that this man is already corrupted by desire. It''s normal to have a desire. But, to get your desire over your head is really something not good. Although, Kim Shin also want to be powerful for a reason. He didn''t want to be controlled by his desire.

This time its a Dagger Master?'' Kim was utterly confused. If, there were two master in this group, how the hell did they end up annihilated before(?) He did not know what happened before. But, even he know he doesn''t care. Actually, he indirectly save their lives from annihilation. Because, Kim Shin got the Artifact instead of them. So, they won''t face an early eradication. Therefore, Kim Shin is their secret saviour. Hence, if they still plan to rob him. Kim Shin won''t hesitate to reap their precious lives. Kim Shin closed the system window and decided to leave quickly. However, after he took a few steps he sense that, there was already someone followed up to him. As he turned his head back, he discovered that the skinny man managed to caught with his basic speed. ''Hmm'' Impressed with the skinny man agility that continue speeding. Kim Shin increased his speed at the influenced of the Skinny Man. ''WHOOSH'' The Skinny man was left in the dust by Kim Shin''s swiftness. The other escaping men''s was dumbfounded at Kim Shin''s ridiculous speed. After a few minutes of uncease running. Kim Shin finally reached and saw the outside world again. whew~ *BANG* *TREMBLE* *CRASH* The dungeon''s entrance collapsed as the last survivor luckily escaped the falling debris. ''Its Dark..'' Even though, it''s without a doubt a sunny morning. The surrounding was undeniably dark. "This forest really lives in its name.." Kim Shin murmured. "Huff.. Huff.. We fortunately survived" Thankfully said by one of the survivor gasping man. Hearing the gasping breathing from the survivors. Kim Shin surveyed everyone alive and didn''t find anything noticeable other than the Burly and Skinny man. "Uhm. Excuse me?" As if he already expected it, Kim Shin turned his head slowly to the skinny man who wants his attention. "Yes?" Kim Shin responded. "I''m Steve, I should be thankful for your advice. But, I''m really curious, maybe not just me. My party was all baffled at what happened. Do you have any idea why it suddenly collapsed?" The Skinny man seriously asked. Kim Shin didn''t answer the question immediately. He looked at the Skinny man from head to toe. He realize that this Skinny man is a head taller than him and pretty handsome for a thief. ''Maybe he is assassin on earth or something like that..'' The skinny man frowned at the way Kim Shin''s look at him. "Oh. Sorry, I''m just curious at your job on earth. And about the collapsed dungeon, I don''t have any idea. After the Guide Tutorial transferred us, I opened my eyes to realize that I''m inside a dungeon.. And you know what happened next.." Kim Shin lied in a pitiful tone. The Skinny man was doubtful at Kim Shin''s answer. While still in his acting, he saw the Burly man; Bruno Jones, walking at their direction behind Steve. And when Bruno reached Kim Shin. "With you dressed-up like that? Are you sure you don''t know anything?" Bruno said with big and intimidating tone while looking down at Kim Shin. Kim Shin looked up at the not just burly man Bruno but also tall man. He''s two head taller than Kim Shin. "And what do you mean about that?" Kim Shin questioned in serious tone. Bruno grinned and, "Well, Show it to us what you''ve got inside that dungeon!" While opening his right hand to Kim Shin. Kim Shin smiled in amazement. You really can''t stop anyone from their greedy self. If the greed starts to act, you will risk anything just to satisfy yourself. Greed is indeed a terrifying demon that reinforcing anyone selfish desire. "So, this is the way how you compensate to your saviour.. I actually save your lives twice" Kim Shin murmured to himself. "What did you say?" "Ah, nothing. Okay.." "Okay? What do you mean, okay?" "Okay. I agree." Bruno was puzzled at Kim Shin''s answered. He did not expect that Kim Shin would easily agree to his demand. "Here!" Kim Shin brought out from his inventory a shining gold wrist protector with red translucent gem on the middle of it, appeared at his right hand. It''s the King Olazusk Fury Bracer. All the men alive turned to look at the golden bracer at Kim Shin''s hand. Even those injured can''t take their eyes off from the Golden Item. Greed shown in their eyes. They are certain that its no ordinary item. Especially Bruno, who''s already drooling at the sight of the gold bracer. "Can I take a closer look at that?" Bruno demand once more and advance slowly to Kim Shin. Kim Shin took back his hand that holding the Fury Bracer. "Hmm. I don''t think so. Prior to our agreement that I will only show it. Now, that you all saw it. I already gave your demand." Kim Shin declined. "You!!!" Bruno was pissed off at Kim Shin''s retort. Kim Shin was right but, He didn''t expect that Kim Shin had a gut to pointed out the agreement. He wanted to hack Kim Shin''s body into half. Bruno slowly unsheathe his Big Axe from his back. "Brother! What are you doing?!" Steve yelled at furious Bruno. Kim Shin was flabbergasted at revelation. Steve and Bruno were Brothers(?) ''But how?'' They doesn''t have any single resemblance at each other. Steve is good-looking while, Bruno is far from being handsome. "Same old job, Robbing!" Bruno replied. "What? Are you out of your mind? Don''t you realize anything?" "What? Don''t tell me that you''re afraid of him? He''s just only one, look around there is so many of us!" Bruno stated. "Hais.. No, Don''t include me with your insane ambition.." Steve sighed. "Tch. Don''t come later and asked for a piece of equipment." "Men! Get ready!" Bruno loudly called all his men. Eight survivor men stand behind their leader. Despite their injured body, they still came quickly at the Leader call. "Now, now, we can still make this more easier. Bring out all your items and Kindly handle it to us, and we might give you mercy or else.." Bruno stared greedily at Kim Shin''s fury bracer. "So, it''s really end up in this way huh.." whew~ Kim Shin mumbled to himself and sighed. He put back the fury bracer in his inventory as it disappeared. "Then, come and get it!" Kim Shin smirk and his eyes turned serious. "So, You want it in an extreme way? Fine! I will remove that smug face of yours." Bruno clenched his teeth in pissed. And move his Big Axe above his shoulder to hack Kim Shin. While releasing killing intent. "Now, Die!!!!" While roaring, Bruno swing his Big Axe to Kim Shin. However, before it get to hack it down. Kim Shin suddenly blink while leaving after image. And instantly appeared at Bruno''s back. No, Kim Shin just activate his accelerator and ran behind Bruno. And with a ''slash'' . *Thud* Bruno''s headless body fell on the ground that cut by a black iron sword that appeared out of nowhere. Silence filled the surrounding. 24 Blood Oath Silence filled the surroundings. No one expected this situation. They unable to comprehend what has happened. Their big boss whose really intimidating before it all happened was instantly decapitated by a man they thought they could gang up. *Thud* The head and widely opened eyes of Bruno fell onto the ground. "You''re talking to much.." After he killed Bruno, Kim Shin turned to look at the group whose still could not wake up from nightmare they witness as Bruno''s body becomes particle of light that fades away with the wind, leaving a Big Axe and Iron Heavy armor. In this Tutorial Stage, even the deceased body of human would vanish along with the sweep of the wind after just a moment. Anyone who aligned with Kim Shin''s stare, flinched in fright while they''re back was drenched at cold sweat. As if, a starving devil is eyeing their lives like a ripe red apple. "Well, who''s next?" Hesitations displayed at their faces. Earlier, they are confident to assault him. But, now that their Big Boss was no longer existing. It seems like the confidence they have also vanished with their dead Big Boss. Steve already expected that Kim Shin is strong. Just base on Kim Shin''s physique and intimidating aura leaking from him. He knew that Kim Shin could not be underestimated. He imagined that even if Kim Shin is strong. He probably was not that strong enough to kill all of them. But, what he did not anticipate is Kim Shin is more powerful than what he imagined. He still underestimated the demon in disguise. And that resulted in early death of his brother. "Since you don''t want to move. Then, I will!" When Kim Shin was about to move. Steve stopped him in panic. "Wait, Wait! We don''t have any intention to further the conflict we have. Please have mercy! Look, we lost few men and some are injured. Do you think they really want to have a clash with you? They just followed the ordered of my step-brother, because they knew how tyrannical my brother was. Also, I''m always against on how my brother lead them." Steve pleaded seriously as he pointed at the haggard looks of the old and young faces of the group. "They are blinded by my brother''s fa?ade. My brother used their fear in uncertainty of this world. They followed my brother with a thought of, they would be more secured if they join with a capable man. Please, Don''t kill us.." Steve continue to convince and begged at Kim Shin. Hearing Steve''s convincing reasons. Kim Shin looked at the group behind Steve. Exhaustion displayed at their haggard faces. Some of them probably doesn''t have anything to fill their stomach and didn''t had any good sleep, since the transmigration. Because, of the visible dark eye bags and bony cheeks that the group have. His sterned looked started softened while he glance at each every one of them. This is Kim Shin''s main flawed. He is genuinely soft-hearted person. That''s why his enemy used it to him that ended his life. He is easy to trust. But, now is a different matter. He died before because of this attitude of him. He could not be trustful anymore. "I can understand your reasoning.." At Kim Shin''s words. Steve''s group was about to sigh in relief. When Kim Shin continued his phrase. "But, how could I trust you all? That you won''t try to come and bite my ass later. After, I let you all go?" "This..." Steve and his group were speechless. Kim Shin was right. He can''t trust them just like that, with just a few words. "I want you all, take a blood oath!" Kim Shin uttered sternly in demanding tone. "Blood Oath?" Everyone of them was puzzled at Kim Shin''s demand they doesn''t have any idea about the blood oath. Blood Oath is one of the very strict contract used by ancient people of Yggdrasil. Because, if someone broke the oath their body will explode and the soul of that person would be devour by unknown devilish cre?ture. Rumors said that the soul of those who broke the blood oath will be slaved in underworld. But, no one get to confirmed that rumor. So, Kim Shin explained what is Blood Oath to them. Hearing the explanation from him. Steve''s group realizes the horror behind the blood oath. But, they doesn''t have any choice but to comply at Kim Shin''s wished. Otherwise they would die early if they did not take the Blood Oath. Seeing the worry in their eyes. Kim Shin assured them. "Don''t worry, I won''t demand something excessive. I just want you all to promise that, you won''t ever try to think about getting back on me or mention what happened here to anyone besides all of us here!" "Now, after you made a cut in your hand. Declare your name before you state the oath.." He continued instructing them on what to do. Without any more choice, Steve''s group start to slice their own hand. "Ugh" Some could be heard groaning in pain as they cut softly their hand. When the blood begins to leak from their hands. They state their Blood Oath. Rather than dripping on the ground. Their blood started to glow and turned to a circle-shape blood while floating at their hands. When they finished their Oaths. Every glowing circle-shape blood flew straight to their heart. "Ugh" Pain was displayed at their faces as they coughed a mouthful of blood. If someone tried to open their chest to looked for their heart. They would find an ancient black symbol tattooed on their heart. After taking the Blood Oath. Some of Steve''s men were fell unconscious on the ground. Only a few could be seen standing. Steve brushed off the blood at the corner of his mouth and asked Kim Shin. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. "Now, Are you satisfied now?" "Yes.." He simply replied. "So, Do you have any plan on what to do next?" Steve curiously inquired and he slowly sat on the ground beside Kim Shin. "Hmm?" At Steve''s questioned. Kim Shin suddenly went silent. If, he remember correctly at any moment. There would be an announcement about the new side mission. The second part of the tutorial in Dark Hyena Forest. It was a horrible scene for the newbie Kim Shin before. He saw people dying like an ant by the sharp fangs and claws of the waves of Hyena monsters. Ding~ ¡ñSystem Announcement¡ñ [Congratulations for surviving until now. Now, let''s go to the phase 2 of the tutorial. ¡öSide Mission: Survive all the 5 waves of Hyena monsters. ¡öReward: +1 Level and a piece of random rare armor and weapon ] 25 First Wave of Monsters ¡ñSystem Announcement¡ñ [Congratulations for surviving until now. So, please prepare to the phase 2 of the tutorial. ¡öSide Mission: Survive all the 5 waves of Hyena monsters. ¡öReward: +1 Level and a piece of random rare armor and weapon] The Window System announcement suddenly appeared before their eyes out of nowhere. Kim Shin remembered that there are four safe place in this stage. That is the four ponds at the 4 direction of Dark Hyena forest. Northern-west pond, Northern-east pond, Southern-east pond and the nearest at his current location is the Southern-west pond. The first wave would last for 5 hours and every hour the four ponds will release a translucent green light, it will cover 10 yards around the ponds with a duration of 15 minutes that prevents any monster to come inside. So, they can recover a little. "Wave of Monsters?!" Steve exclaimed in surprised. After he read the System Announcement, Steve slowly looked at Kim Shin. Sensing the stare of Steve, Kim Shin closed the System Window and slowly looked back at Steve. He tilted his head in confusion. ''Hmm?'' Looking at the hesitant Steve. He could tell that there is something bothering Steve. "What is it?" "U-uh. I don''t know if you have something important to do. But, would it bother you if we tag along with you? Of course, if it will bother you. It''s fine we will understand.." Steve stated. At that words, he looked over behind Steve''s and found the conscious men trying to help those unconscious who''s laying on the ground because of the effect of Blood Oath. He already anticipated it. But the time is ticking down. He could not worry about them now. There''s a lot of matter he need to pay attention. The first wave would begin at any moment. Although, he can''t bear to leave them alone. Still, he did not know them that much. But as a person who experienced the horror of the Dark Hyena Forest beforehand. He doesn''t want them to feel what he experienced before. Hence, he made a decision. "I can''t join you right now." Hearing what Kim Shin''s said. Steve could not help but to felt dejected. "I understand." Steve softly replied. "But, maybe at later time. Go at this location first." Kim Shin continued and he opened the Map Navigation Tab. Steve beamed happily at Kim Shin''s continuation as he saw Kim Shin''s System''s Screen. "H-how could I see your window system?" Filled with bafflement. Steve could not stop his curiosity. "Oh, This? Just think in your mind that you allow someone or the specific person to see your System''s screen" Kim Shin simply explained and he clicked his forefinger to the southern-west pond of lay-out map of Dark Hyena Forest that floating before their eyes. "Why do we need to go there?" Steve was puzzled. "It''s safe there at the first few waves, It''s okay if you don''t want to believe in me. The choice is all yours." "N-no! Of course, I believe in you." Steve hurriedly answered while waving his both hands. Even though he''s still doubtful at Kim Shin''s advice, it''s much better than wandering around the full of uncertainty Dark Hyena forest. "Good. I will take my leave now. Take care, please survive until I came back." Kim Shin was about to left. "Wait!" But he was abruptly stopped by Steve. "What is it?" He confusedly asked. "Can you tell me your name?" "Shin.. Kim Shin." He answered and quickly left with a swift movement to the north direction. "You too. Please be careful, Don''t be reckless Mr. Kim Shin.." Steve screamed while watching the rushing Kim Shin leave. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö 11:45 am; A sunny with a bit cloudy morning, if you are in an open area while bathing in the sunlight, it would be a great day. However the environment was dark and filled with depressing atmosphere. Because of the tall and enormous trees that covering the place, it prevents anyone to saw and feel the warm sunlight. At that dark place, there is 5-man party that surrounded with a 10 gray dog. It was Gray Hyena that common in Dark Hyena Forest. Even with a disadvantage in numbers. The group is not showing any weakness in the battle. In fact, they have the upper hand. *SLASH* "Grrrr..awooo!" A sharp iron short sword sliced a long few centimeter deep at the skin of the Gray Hyena and it wailed in pain. "Guys, Don''t be nervous just relax. Go according to our previous plan. Mawi! Shoot!" The blonde haired guy who just cut the Gray Hyena ordered as he comfort his teammate. It''s Jung Minho and his group. *SHOO* *SHOO* Two arrows flew from Jung Minho''s back straight at the left eye of the Gray Hyena and at the right eye of the other Gray Hyena simultaneously. "Nice Shot!" Exclaimed by a black-haired girl with straight bangs beside the one who shoot the arrows. Its Kurisu Kaguya. And behind the two is a beautiful woman behind the Big Black Man with a big steel shield on its left hand. Its Allyson and Uncle Scott. "Fireball!.." At that phrase a volley ball size of fire appeared at Allyson''s right hand and with a ''whoosh'' it flew and explode at the Gray Hyena.

Jung Minho at the front, Kurisu, Mawi and Allyson at the Middle. While Uncle Scott is at the rear protecting Allyson from Gray Hyena''s. "Good job, Allyson!" Uncle Scott praised Allyson after he saw the perfect launch of fireball by Allyson. Before it was awkward for Allyson to pronounce the simple chant of the skill. But, this time she''s well trained and accurate now. Few minutes later. With an enclose formation; the sharp shooter Mawi and Damage Dealer Allyson. They easily killed every Gray Hyena''s that surround them. Of course, without the help of great leader Jung Minho, experienced fighter Uncle Scott and their Healer Kurisu. It would not be that easy battle. "Huff..Huff.. Good job guys!" Jung Minho complimented the team. "Okay, that''s enough guys. Let''s take a rest and eat for a while before we continue." He continued before he sat on the ground. *Thud* Kurisu sprawled on the ground while gasping for air. She''s almost out of MP after that fight. "Here.." A bottled water brought by slim hand before her eyes. Kurisu looked at the slim hand owner and found it was Allyson''s pretty hand. "Hmm. Thank you!." Kurisu took the water from Allyson. She still hate Allyson but after three days of being together. She learned to be a bit good at her because they are the only girls in the group. So, it was normal for them to be close. "You''re Welcome.." Allyson replied smilingly as she also sat on the ground carefully. While on the other hand, Mawi and Uncle Scott kept on standing and surveyed the surrounding to make sure that there''s no monster near them. Ding~ In the midst of their resting the System suddenly alerted that startled them. *Click* ¡ñSystem Announcement¡ñ [ The First Wave will begin now. Good luck! ] "No way..!" Kurisu grumbled after she read the announcement. They already knew that there will be a coming wave of monsters. But, they did not know that it will suddenly start now, without an early notice. *SHING~* *SHING~* *SHING~* Numerous of white light descended on the ground all around of the Dark Hyena Forest. "Come on guys! We can''t just stay here and do nothing. We can''t just wait for our death, Move!" The sitting Jung Minho, quickly stood up, hurriedly and loudly ordered everyone as he saw them who still daze at the sudden start of the wave. They are woken up from their dazed state by the yelled of Jung Minho. "Hurry!" He urged once more. Despite of their tired mind and body, they forcefully and hurriedly stood up. "Where are we going, Minho?" Uncle Scott questioned. "Let''s go back to our camp.." "But, it''s faraway from here.." Uncle Scott worriedly replied. Because they are at the North side of the Dark Hyena Forest and they''re camp is on the South direction. "I know, we don''t have any choice. If we thread the unexplored path we might face unknown or dangerous monster.." Jung Minho explained. "But.. there''s also a chance that we won''t face a big threat." Uncle Scott stated seriously. "Uncle Scott! Minho! There''s no time to argue, Let''s go!" Kurisu said in panicked. Both Jung Minho and Uncle Scott nodded weakly in realization and quickly run at south direction. However, after a few meters of running. Ahead of them were numerous of Gray Hyena. "Go back! Go back!" Minho hurriedly screamed out. "We''re already surrounded." Allyson replied. "Damn! Get on formation guys!" Jung Minho cursed and calmly ordered everyone. "They are coming. Ready!" Minho declared after he saw the advancing Hyena''s. "Awooooo..." After the long and ear-splitting howled of Gray Hyena''s. They begin assaulting the party of Jung Minho. "Sho¨°t! Fire!" *BAM!* They successfully defended the first few attacks of the Hyena''s. But, after just a few minutes. They are at their limit. Because, they are just fought a battle when the First Wave suddenly began. So, they doesn''t get enough rest to fight for longer battle. "Ugh.." Uncle Scott was pushed down by two Gray Hyena. "Uncle Scott!." Cried out by Allyson who doesn''t have protection of Uncle Scott. A Gray Hyena quickly took opportunity to pounce at Allyson. Fortunately, Allyson fired a fireball that burned the pouncing Gray Hyena. However, before she get a space of breathing. Another Gray Hyena pounced to her again. "Fireball!.." She tried to shoot another fire but her MP is not enough to release another Fireball. Without anymore MP to fire. She didn''t know what to do. Her face suddenly paled in fear as she closed her eyes waiting for her death. *BAM!* Instead of her crashing bones, She heard a powerful explosion at her front and she opened her eyes. There she found a young man standing at the dead Gray Hyena whose about to bite her. "Fortunately, I arrived at the right time.." 26 Magic Crystal Mine "Fortunately, I arrived at the right time.." Kim Shin uttered in relief. [You''ve defeated the Gray Hyena] After he left the party of Steve. He quickly rushed with high-speed. Because, he suddenly remembered an incident after the System announced about the coming wave of monster. It was about the grave incident where Kim Shin''s temporary party encountered a wave of Gray Hyena''s that caused a lot of them suffered, grievously injured and almost at the death door. They thought that the first wave would be a piece of cake to them. Because they are few level higher than Gray Hyena. However, when the wave suddenly started when they just finished their morning hunt. The first wave almost annihilated their party. However, with a heart-breaking sacrificed of one of their member they survived the ordeal. It was an unforgettable moment for the newbie Kim Shin that time. So, with a chance to prevent that to happen. Kim Shin didn''t hesitate to do so. He would not think twice to help the one who saves their lives. Hence, after he saw the group of Gray Hyenas, he was certain that his temporary party before, was already surrounded by numerous of Gray Hyenas. Therefore, he unhesitatingly jumped high in the air and smashed down in the middle of the clashing onto the Gray Hyena''s dog head whose about to bite the beautiful woman, he never knew before, that shocked Jung Minho''s party.

But, he''s certain that they are his temporary teammate before. On the other hand, Allyson was dumbfounded. She discerned a figure of a man in the smog that cause by the impact and it wasn''t stopped there. The man made a swift manuever, he instantly blown away the Gray Hyena with a simple kick that pushed Uncle Scott down and carefully helped Uncle Scott to stand. "Thank you, Young Man!" Uncle Scott thankfully said. "Don''t mention about that Uncle, We don''t have enough time to dillydally. There''s no end to this. Please follow me, I''ll open a path. We need to find a safe place. Let''s Hurry!" He smiled a little to Uncle Scott. Uncle Scott is their saviour who sacrificed himself for them to survive. He wanted to pay-back what he owe at this man. However, this is not the right time. So, he hurriedly declared the plan that clearly heard by all of them. "But-!" Before they could complain. They witnessed the power that Kim Shin could wield. He quickly pounced at the monsters at Jung Minho''s front. ''WHOOSH'' BOOOOOM~ Kim Shin black robe flapped by his fast speed and blasted the Gray Hyenas as he arrived at the groups of monster. Jung Minho''s party watch in astonishment as he blow every Gray Hyena neared at him. BOOOOM~ BOOOOM~ BOOOOM~ Watching how Kim Shin fought the Gray Hyenas. Jung Minho''s group was dazed in amazement. "He''s more like a true beast than this Gray Hyenas.." Murmured by Kurisu that heard by all her team. "You''re absolutely correct!" Jung Minho agreed in admiration. While the other''s only nodded their heads. Afterwards, Kim Shin immediately slaughtered the Gray Hyenas that blocked the pathway. "Let''s go. Hurry!" He urged the party once more. The Jung Minho''s group looked at each other for a moment before they made a decision and nodded their heads in unison for agreement. Though, Kim Shin is a suspicious man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and saved them. They don''t have any time to waste. Otherwise they might truly end up in Gray Hyenas stomach if they didn''t make a quick decision. So, they immediately followed behind Kim Shin. "Huff.. Young Man, where are we going?" Uncle Scott inquired confusedly while continue running. "We need to find some place to hide first, before we continue to go back at your party campsite.." Kim Shin replied. "Do you know where our camp?" Uncle Scott asked warily. "No.. I don''t.." He lied. They won''t believe in his reason even if he answer the truth to them. After that, Silence filled the group as they continue running. Behind them was still a numbers of Gray Hyena. Amidst of their quick advancing. Jung Minho suddenly felt a tugged and when he looked behind. He saw Mawi pointing at something. "Hmm?" Mawi whose always silent but have a sharp eyes found a hidden cave at the left side of their threading path. "A cave!" Exclaimed by Jung Minho in surprise. ''He''s really sharp and meticulous'' Kim Shin thought and admired Mawi''s keen sight. "Let''s go over there, Quickly!.." Jung Minho ordered and took the lead followed by Mawi and others. Arriving at the mouth of the cave. It''s really small for them, they need to crouch their body and enter one by one. "You go first, Kurisu.." With Jung Minho''s ordered. Kurisu didn''t make a complain and quickly comply. It was followed by Allyson, Jung Minho, Mawi, Uncle Scott and Lastly Kim Shin. After a few meter of walking while crouching they finally reached the inside of the cave. As they looked around they were amaze at what they found. Inside of the cave was illuminated by a stalactites at the roof of the cave. "Beautiful.." Uttered by Allyson and Kurisu at the same time. Kim Shin was utterly stupefied at what he saw. It''s not just a stalactite. ''Magic Crystals!'' Magic Crystal is a very useful material. It was made from high concentration of Magic. It can be used for forging, synthesizing, alchemy and in many more way. Also, it could be sold for a 5000 V¨®l per piece. V¨®l is the main currency in Yggdrasil Mainland. (1 V¨®l = 1 USD) ''And there''s so many of it'' Kim Shin eyes turned to a dollar a sign. "I''m rich..." "What are you mumbling, Young Man?." Uncle Scott questioned curiously. "We''re rich..." 27 Mysterious Door "I''m rich..." "What are you mumbling, Young Man?." Uncle Scott questioned curiously. "We''re rich..." Kim Shin corrected. "Huh? What do you mean?" Uncle Scott was confused at Kim Shin''s words. "Believe me, Uncle! Try to look at those crystals on the wall, and you can appraise it out loud or mentally.." He knew that they doesn''t know how to appraise an item until now. So, Kim Shin kind heartedly guide Uncle Scott first. Doubtful at Kim Shin''s said. Uncle Scott still followed what instructed to him. He slowly looked at the crystals stuck on the wall. "Appraise.." SHING~ The information of the Crystal appeared before Uncle Scott eyes that widen his eyes in surprised. [ Magic Crystal ] Grade: Unique Type: Material ¡öA unique material made from high concentration of Magic. It can be use for crafting, forging, synthesizing and alchemy. "A Unique material?!" At Uncle Scott bawled in surprised. Everyone was baffled as they look at him . "What''s wrong Uncle Scott? What unique material are you saying?" Kurisu asked in confusion. "Th-This Young Man-" "Kim Shin.." Kim Shin interjected in realization that he still did not introduce himself. "Oh! Mr.Kim Shin just taught me how to appraise a thing.. and I found out that those crystals are a unique materials.." Uncle Scott continued in amazement. "What? Are you sure Uncle?" The leading Jung Minho hurriedly walked near at Uncle Scott and asked doubtfully. "Yes, I am certain!" "But, How did you know it?" "It''s like this..." So, with that Uncle Scott taught them how to appraise. On the other hand, Kim Shin just amusedly watch them. "Woah! It''s really a unique material" Said by Jung Minho whose still could not believe in what he saw. "Impossible! Q-Quickly take it all!" Kurisu greed surfaced up. While the others are looking for a way how to mine those crystals. Allyson walked to Kim Shin''s direction. "Mr. Kim Shin?.." "Yes?" Replied by curious Kim Shin. "I''m Allyson. First, Thank you for your help earlier. If you didn''t come at the right time to help me. Probably I''m already feasted by those Hyenas." Allyson wholeheartedly expressed how thankful she is for saving her life. "Don''t mention it.." "Still, my whole party was thankful for you." "Yes, I Jung Minho the leader of my party was truly grateful, for you to risk your life for a stranger is indeed a heroic act.." Jung Minho said in a theatrical tone. "Why are you acting like that, Minho?" Kurisu questioned. "Shut up! Kurisu, I''m being a proper leader here.." "You''re acting weird thou.." Kurisu muttered. "What?" Jung Minho asked as he did not heard clearly, what kurisu said. "Okay, okay, enough stop before where that argue goes.." Uncle Scott stopped them while creasing his eyebrows. ''Mmh, It seems like Minho have a hidden feelings for this woman, Allyson.'' Kim Shin thought. "Don''t mind them, both of them are always like that.." Uncle Scott explained. "Haha.. They seems really close.." Uttered by Kim Shin that heard by the two subject. "No, we''re not!" They disagreed at the same time. "Anyway, Mr. Kim Shin-" "Kim Shin.." Kim Shin interject. "Mmh, What?" Uncle Scott was confused. "I mean, you can drop the formality. You can call me by my name." "Oh Okay, then call me Uncle Scott.." "Okay, Uncle Scott.." "So, what I''m about to say is.. It''s okay if you don''t answer this. But, how did you learned to appraise things?.." "About that.. It''s because I''d used to play role-playing games before when I was much younger..So, I just mumbled something and that''s it.. information showed up."

"Ah.. and about the Magic Crystals? How should we excavate that thing?.." "Dig? I guess?.. I''m not certain if it''s going to work.." He''s really uncertain if his plan is going to work. "But.. How?" Uncle Scott curiously asked. "Wait a minute.." Ding~ Kim Shin immediately open the System''s Shop and quickly bought something. SHING~ A white light shone on Kim Shin''s hand and when the light fades away. It leave a pickaxe, tool for digging or mining. "With the help of this!." Kim Shin swung the pickaxe; feeling the lightness of the tool. "I didn''t have any idea, that there''s a pickaxe in the System''s Shop.. So, who''s gonna do it?" "Mmh.. Then let me try it first." Kim Shin declared. "Oh, do you know how to use that?" "This? No, I don''t. But, if it just swinging then, there''s no problem." Hence, Kim Shin walked to the wall near them. Standing a few feet away from the Magic Crystal, Kim Shin slowly raise the Pickaxe above his head. Clenching tightly the Pickaxe with his two hands. Slowly breathing. Hoo~ Haa~ Kim Shin swung down the Pickaxe quickly and strongly at the Magic Crystal that stuck on the wall. *CLANG* The Pickaxe bounce back at the collision and it vibrated through Kim Shin''s whole body. *CRACK* A small shard of Magic Crystal fell on the ground as the Pickaxe also slowly crack and [ Pickaxe durability down to ''0'' ] crumbled to pieces. Ding~ [ Mining Skill is not high enough ] [ You''ve found a shard of Magic Crystal | Do you want to obtain it? [Yes|No] ] Because he forcefully hit the Magic Crystal with pickaxe, even though he doesn''t have a mining skill. That resulted in pickaxe being destroyed. Uncle Scott and others was dumbfounded at the result. "My.. Pickaxe.." Kim Shin murmured in disappointment. He did not expect this. He didn''t have any idea that a professional miner is required to mine a Magic Crystal. *Click* [ You''ve obtained Magic Crystal Shard ] "It''s looked like I failed.." Kim Shin smiled bitterly feeling ashamed. "No worries, It''s alright. Let just be thankful that we survive until now.." Uncle Scott comforted Kim Shin. "Where is Mawi?" Jung Minho suddenly asked. Because he didn''t see Mawi after Uncle Scott taught them how to appraise. At Jung Minho''s words, everyone hurriedly looked around. And then Kim Shin found a long crevice in the distance that can only fit a single adult person. "Over here!" Kim Shin called out. And the group came beside Kim Shin. "Do you think Mawi is inside there?" Jung Minho worriedly asked. "It seems so.." Kim Shin replied softly. "Let''s go!" Jung Minho couldn''t wait any longer and took the lead to enter followed by others. The crevice was long. After almost 10 minutes of snail-paced walking. They finally reached the end. They arrived at the big rocky hallway with a enormous transparent like water door at the distance. ''A portal..'' Kim Shin was thunderstruck. "What is that?" Kurisu asked in puzzlement. "It seems like a portal.." Kim Shin answered. "Do you think Mawi is inside there?.." Jung Minho questioned. "Probably.." Uncertainly replied by Kim Shin. "Then what are we waiting for? Let''s go!" Jung Minho was already impatient to go inside. He''s really worried about Mawi''s situation. "Wait.." Uncle Scott abruptly stopped him. "What is it Uncle Scott?" "Are you sure, you''re going inside there, with our current situation? We didn''t get enough rest to recover.." "But..." Jung Minho could not retort because Uncle Scott was right. "It''s okay Uncle Scott, we''re just going to take a quick peek inside.." Kim Shin cut in. "Okay, If you''re with us. It''s much safer." Uncle Scott instantly gave in at Kim Shin''s words. Knowing that Kim Shin is with them even if something bad happen. "Thank you, Mr. Kim Shin.." Jung Minho was truly thankful at Kim Shin right now. "No worries. Let''s hurry!" At Kim Shin''s word they immediately walk through the enormous Portal like door. When they enter, Kim Shin felt like he passed through a wall of water. ''WHOOSH'' They suddenly shivered at freezing wind that hit them. ''Snow?'' Kim Shin found that they are in an open area with full of snow. And few meters away from them is Mawi who seems couldn''t move from something. And as he looked for a reason. In a distance Kim Shin found a enormous monster made of Crystal. [¡ñLegendary¡ñ Crystallize White Hyena Lv. ??] 28 End of the First Wave Within the cold place that seems like an endless of snow. A small of snow crystal mountain could notice in the distance. [¡ñLegendary¡ñ Crystallize White Hyena Lv.??] "L-Legendary?!.." Uttered in shocked by Kim Shin. Kim Shin did not expect that seems like small mountain is an enormous Legendary cre?ture. It''s spiky body were made of shiny snowy crystals. If anyone look closely they could see it enormous sharp fang straight down over its sharp crystal chin. And the long spiky tail that made of white crystals curved beside its feet It seems like currently in a deep slumber. Since its blowing a freezing wind from its nose with every breath it takes. ''How big that would be, if it stood up?'' ''Appraise'' ERROR! [ The level of the target is too high to use System Appraisal ] ''Damn'' "Even if I''m overpowered at the current stage, It''s nowhere enough to fight that thing.." Kim Shin mumbled and made a quick decision. ''Escape!'' So, he hurriedly looked beside him. However, what he discovered was Jung Minho''s group also freezing at the cold windblast and stunned at the gigantic crystal monster. "Hey, Guys wake up! We need to run.. Go back first.." He softly but clearly woke them up from being shocked. At Kim Shin''s call, Jung Minho and others was eventually came out from their dumbfounded state. "W-What is that mountain-like monster?" Muttered by Kurisu who could not believe on what she currently looking. "Go back? How about Mawi?" Jung Minho questioned that still worried at his companion. "Don''t worry, I will take care of it.." Kim Shin assured. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. "Uncle Scott, please take them away and leave first. Don''t say anything.. I will bring Mawi back.. I promise!" He continued as he stopped Uncle Scott from what it''s about to say and assured them once more. "Okay, Please be careful.." Uncle Scott could only nod at Kim Shin''s determination. "I will. Now, Go hurry!" "Please come back alive Mr. Kim Shin.." Weakly yelled by Jung Minho whose been dragged by Uncle Scott. Kim Shin immediately turned his back from them and focus at the problem. Accelerator! Over Limit! BOOOM! The snow around Kim Shin suddenly blown away that caused a mist by the sudden increased at his power. 20 meters.. That''s the distance of Kim Shin to Mawi. With over a hundred stats added with speed booster ''Accelerator''. BAM! The snowy ground caved in with just a simple stomped of his foot on the ground. WHOOSH~ His black robe flapped with the cold wind of the snowy area. In just two steps he instantaneously reached the freezing Mawi. And when Kim Shin was about to pick Mawi over his shoulder. The sleeping enormous monster, suddenly opened its big and ruby eyes that directly stare at Kim Shin. *SHAKE* He could not help but to stop and shivered at the terrifying stare of the legendary-level monster. Kim Shin grit his teeth strongly and he immediately put the freezing mawi at his right shoulder. He did not waste any time to think something might happen. He just hurriedly dragged Mawi and quickly dashed away from the stare of the Legendary-level monster. Although, he did not think about what might happen. Kim Shin knew the gravity of their situation. They might die at any moment if he hesitate to escape. WHOOOOSH~ Kim Shin quickly sped up. However, before he got to run far away. The Crystallize White Hyena suddenly opened its mouth and, BOOOOM~ Fired a blizzard to Kim Shin and Mawi. Fortunately the blizzard missed them it explode few feet away from them. However, the explosion caused them to blown away and rolled multiple times on the snowy ground. Big mist of snow broke out after the collision. ''Ugh!'' He groaned in pain at the impact of the explosion. "Where is Mawi?.." Kim Shin muttered as he quickly looked around him. And there, few feet beside him is the unconscious Mawi laying down with his face on the snowy ground. Despite of what just happened. Kim Shin directly grabbed Mawi on his collar and immediately flee. Again, the Legendary level monster opened his ferocious huge mouth and fired a blizzard once more. ''SH*T!'' They almost at the wall of water when the Crystallize monster shoot a blizzard again. Hence, Kim Shin decided to throw Mawi first.. And he followed with a dive. BAM! The blizzard could not pierce the wall of water. Whew~ Kim Shin sighed in relief. He never encounter before a legendary level monster. Since he only lived a normal life as a third-rate swordsman who fought monsters just for everyday living expenses. "So, that''s how terrifying a Legendary level monster.." He murmured in himself at realization and imagine what kind of abilities does it have except the blizzard skill. Even though he just afraid a while ago. Kim Shin could not stop himself from getting excited. He''s excited to know what kind of power does a higher grade monster have and what power could a person wield for them to fight a Higher grade monster. Right now, Kim Shin have a new goal. Except at his plan of vengeance. He also wanted now to see and experience different kinds of powerful monsters. ''I need to get stronger.. Stronger than everyone else!'' Having a new inspiration Kim Shin was completely determined to get stronger. So, he quickly stood up and brought Mawi back at the group. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö "Uncle Scott, Do you think they will be alright?" Jung Minho asked Uncle Scott in worry. "Don''t worry, Minho. They will gonna be fine.." Uncle Scott comforted Jung Minho as he also neared his both hands at the bonfire to warm himself like Allyson and Kurisu doing. They really did not expect to suddenly appeared at the middle of snowy environment with just a thin armor and clothes. Thud! Thud! A heavy footsteps echo around that jolted them. And when they looked at the direction of the sound they found Kim Shin within the crevice while piggy-backing the unconscious Mawi. "They are back!" Kurisu yelled in surprise. On the other hand, Jung Minho quickly helped Mawi to lay down on the ground. "He''s still freezing, Uncle Scott!" Jung Minho worriedly said. "Take him near the bonfire and put him inside a sleeping bag.." Uncle Scott instructed. "Mr. Kim Shin, are you alright?" Asked by Allyson in concern. "Yes, I''m fine..thank''s for worrying.." Kim Shin smiled as he sat down near the bonfire and have a rest. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö After an almost 3 hours of rest. The group finally recovered. With the help of bonfire and Healing Skill of Kurisu, Mawi also woke up eventually. "Kim Shin, do we rea?ly need to leave this cave?" Uncle Scott concerndedly inquire. If it just them, he won''t like to leave this cave. However, Kim Shin said they need to leave no matter what. "Yes, Uncle Scott. We might probably be safe for the early waves but I''m pretty sure that eventually we will be discover by them. Do you think the tutorial guide will be kind to let us go?.." Kim Shin explained. "Also.. If we start to join the wave defensive groups and slayed a lot of hyenas. There will be a high chance to get a higher grade items..and will be level up by a few levels." Kim Shin continued and tempted them. And surely the temptation of levels and higher grade items work on them. They''re this kind of party. They loved a different kind of items. Even in this situation of life and death. Temptation still get over them. Of course, with an exception of Allyson. "So, what are we waiting for? Let''s go!" Kurisu excitedly declared. "Haha.. Okay let''s go!.." Kim Shin laughed at Kurisu reaction. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö "Last 30 minutes.. and we will survive the first wave.. I hope Kim Shin will come back quickly.." Steve Chan murmured in relief. After they follow the instruction of Kim Shin to go at the southern-north pond the First Wave suddenly began that truly shocked them. They panic at the first few minutes of wave and lot of them got injured. However, after an hour of defending a sudden green translucent light appeared covered around the pond that help them preventing the monster to attack them and quickly healed their injuries. Now, they''re thankful that they followed Kim Shin instructed. If they didn''t follow and just wander around the dark forest. They probably already got feasted by Hyenas. SHRING~ The green translucent light that keeping them safe slowly vanished from top to the bottom. Hinting that the time for recovering was done and the fights need to continue. "Keep your weapons up, We are almost at the end of the first wave.. So, hold your ground.." Steve shouted to keep the morale of his party high. As the green light completely vanished. The Gray Hyenas quickly pounced at them. "Arrows, SHOOT!" Steve immediately declared as he saw the advancing hyenas. SHU~ SHU~ "Awooooo....." The flying arrows rained down on the rushing hyenas and howled in pain as they get impaled by raining arrows. Steve also didn''t just idle. He sneak up on those busy hyenas and quickly back stabbed or slit their neck. They hold for fifteen minutes, when suddenly with the last fifteen minutes left. The weak Gray Hyena''s suddenly light up and change to darker color and higher level. "Ugh.. I can''t move!" Yelled by one of the Steve''s member.

Steve muttered anxiously when he saw the more than a hundred of Black Hyenas. BOOOOM! BOOOOM! At the rear of the Black Hyena''s an explosion suddenly erupted that surprised Steve''s party. And when they looked at the direction of the explosion. "Kim Shin!" They saw Kim Shin and with a team behind him. BOOOOM! BOOOOM! Fireballs flew around that caused the Black Hyenas explode and burned to pieces. Kim Shin also didn''t hesitate, he began the massacre. [ Congratulations!

Kim Shin muttered as he reminisced their encounter with Bradley. ''This time I won''t let it happen again.. Just don''t let the fate bring you to me.Otherwise, your death won''t be good.'' At the silent Kim Shin, everyone stopped what they''re doing and slowly looked at him and felt a pressuring atmosphere. "Kim Shin.. Are you alright?" Uncle Scott tapped Kim Shin''s right shoulder and asked worriedly when they felt the emitting pressure from the silent Km Shin. "Ah... Yes I''m sorry. I just remember something.. Don''t worry about me. I''m alright." He answered with a smile and the pressure his emitting earlier quickly dissipated seems like nothing weird happen. "Mmh.. If something is bothering you, don''t hesitate to talk with us. Okay?" Uncle Scott good heartedly remind Kim Shin. "I will. Thank you." Kim Shin appreciatively replied. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö "Kim Shin!" Turning his head at the direction of who''s calling him. Kim Shin found the blissfully Steve that running at his direction. "Oh, you really survived huh." Kim Shin said in a deadpan tone. "Wha- so you lead us here just to die huh?" Steve questioned mournfully. "Anyway, who are they?" Steve continued to asked question as he looked over at the Jung Minho''s party. "Them? A party that I coincidentally saved on my way.." Kim Shin simply replied. "Oh, okay. So, are you going to leave again?" Steve hopefully inquired that Kim Shin won''t need to leave again. "Yes, I need to..." Kim Shin certainly answered. He''s determined to get stronger. So, he must take all the important things here in Dark Hyena Forest. "When are you going to leave?" "Tomorrow.. before the sunrise.." "Oh. By the way, you''re asian right? But, How could we understand each other?" Hearing what Steve''s questioned. Jung Minho''s party also came beside Kim Shin. "Yes, you seems knowledgeable at the situations.." Allyson added. "Mmh. I don''t know anything.. It''s just I''d used to play role-playing games and reading fantasy novels.. And about the answer at your question is you all probably know. Obviously, it''s the System''s gift.." When they heard Kim Shin''s answered. Everyone nodded their head in agreement. That''s the only answer they could think of at their questions. "Men, make a bonfire and get some rest!" Steve loudly ordered his men. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö At the evening. While some are eating and already sleeping. Kim Shin and Jung Minho''s party still sat around the burning bonfire. "Kim Shin, are you really going to leave alone tomorrow?" Uncle Scott asked in a sad voice. "Yes, Uncle Scott. Don''t worry about me. I''ll be fine.. I''ll try to come back if I can. Also, please survive.." Kim Shin softly said. Even him he doesn''t want to leave them. He wanted to join the company of them. However he doesn''t want to waste more time. He need to use all the time left to gather everything he could get before the tutorial end. "You too, Mr. Kim Shin, please survive. I want to pay you back one day.." Allyson dejectedly supported Kim Shin. Followed by others as they wished Kim Shin a good luck. Kim Shin only smile and nodded. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö 4 am in the morning. Kim Shin already got up and ready to move once again. However, before he leave. He looked at all of his sleeping friends and prayed for their survival. "All of you.. Please survive." WHOOSH~ With that words, Kim Shin immediately dashed away. Unbeknownst to Kim Shin, after a few minutes that he left Jung Minho''s and Steve''s Party woke up and watch Kim Shin leaving. "You too, Mr. Kim Shin, please survive. Until, next time.." All of them thought in their mind. They are truly grateful at Kim Shin''s help. ¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö¡ö Kim Shin''s destination to go now is the Hidden Ruins at the middle of the Dark Hyena Forest. That is the place where Jung Minho''s party explored before and found an Accessory artifact. He didn''t bring Jung Minho''s party with him now. Because, He doesn''t want them to face a dangerous opponents; Bradley Kingsberg and his party. He doesn''t know how powerful Bradley Kingsberg right now. So, just to be safe, he did not bring Jung Minho and others with him. Finally, Kim Shin arrived at a place with a numerous of Tall green grasses. "It''s gonna be somewhat near here.." Kim Shin talked to himself as he looked around and shove away the almost 8 feet-tall green grasses that surrounds him. Walking and brushing off the tall grasses that blocking his pathway after an almost 10 minutes. He arrived at the Old Ruin with a tall broken stone pillar that supposedly one of the pillars of the roof of this Ruin place. Removing some debris that blocking his pathway. Kim Shin finally found the open ground with a ruined stone staircase straight down to the dark unknown place. Stepping down by the staircase, Kim Shin arrived at the dark corridor. SHING~ Kim Shin brought out a wood with an old clothes intertwined on it and a lighter that he bought from System''s Shop. FLICK! Kim Shin lighted up the torch with lighter and showed up to him is a long corridor. Holding a fiery torch on his left hand, Kim Shin walk straight by the corridor. Ding~ In the middle of his walk the System suddenly alerted. He quickly opened it. Click! ¡ñSystem Announcement¡ñ [ Rest is Over! The Second Wave will start now! Good Luck! ] ''The second wave.. Good luck Guys!'' Kim Shin thought. Closing the System Announcement, Kim Shin continue advance forward. Reaching the end of the long corridor. What welcomed him is another long staircase that going down and in the distance could see a seems like Ruined Town. "This.. is it." As he saw the Ruined Town, Kim Shin quickly jumped down by the long staircase. Standing at the seems to be the Gate of town that already ruined for a long time, Kim Shin slowly looked up and saw an ancient letters that might be the name of the town. He already came here once. However he never find a history book about this Underground Ruin. As he slowly enter the Ruined Town. Ding~ The System Alert once again.

Kim Shin put off the fire and put back the torch inside his inventory. Since the town have a dim light, Although the town is already ruined, there''s still some old lamppost that magically giving a little light. Dashing at the main road, Kim Shin took a right turn at the third street corner. And when he reached the end of the narrow street. He jumped over the stone wall and landed on the bricked-ground of the backyard of a ruined massive cathedral. Walking swiftly but, silently. Kim Shin quickly arrived near at one of the ovate shape window of the huge cathedral. With a quick movement, Kim Shin easily sneaked in. He need to sneak in because, he doesn''t want to waste more time to fight the gate keepers of the Cathedral. Also, they didn''t completely explored this yet. He had no clue on what monster does this ruined town have except of the Cathedral Gate Keepers. Sneaking inside, Kim Shin welcomed by a figure of an over 7 feet tall and bulky human but have a head of black bull with gold piercing at its big nose armed with a big crude double blade ax. "A minotaur?.." However, there''s something weird. The minotaur was walking awkwardly.

Kim Shin finally ascertained the reason. "It was an undead.." As the Undead Minotaur awkwardly advanced forward, Kim Shin eventually got to see its feature. Half man and half bull. However, its body was already decomposing. SWISH~ Kim Shin immediately dashed as his black robe flapped by the wind and quickly cut the neck of the Undead Minotaur with the black iron sword that suddenly appeared on his right hand. THUD! Its body fell on the ground while its bull head flew in the air. [ You''ve killed the Undead Minotaur ] 30 Mephisto [ You''ve defeated the Undead Minotaur ] After he killed the Undead Minotaur, Kim Shin looked around him and discovered that, he''s in the middle of the corridor with a number of doors. Looking around Kim Shin tried to remember the path to the room of the Accessory Artifact. Eventually, Kim Shin made a decision and quickly took the left path. Advancing forward, the path ended to a corner with a right path. Taking the right path, Kim Shin reached a big square like corridor with 4 doors; 2 at the left and another 2 at the right side. CRACK! At the midst of his advancing Kim Shin heard a sudden sound seems like a broken glass and when he looked down, he found a fragments of a broken white flower vase at his right feet. ''SH*T!'' He cursed in his mind. CREAK! CREAK! At first, the four door slowly open, when it was only half-open it suddenly opened widely and, BAM! BAM! slammed heavily on the wall. WHOOSH~ And a windblast slammed on him that caused his black robe flapped wildly. Multiple Undead Minotaur came out of the four wooden doors. Whew~ "Fortunately, it was only an Undead Minotaurs.." Kim Shin sighed in relief. Although it was only a numbers of Undead Minotaur, his pathway got blocked by them. Holding his sword on his right hand. Kim Shin quickly dove in the middle of the Undead Minotaurs and start massacring them. He easily decapitated them, with their slow movements. They could not hit him even once. [ You''ve defeated the Undead Minotaur ] The System notified him as he killed the last Undead Minotaur. "This mobs was so stingy.. They didn''t drop even just a single thing.." While grumbling, Kim Shin continue to move forward after he cleared the Undead Minotaur. At his way, Kim Shin encountered a few more Undead Minotaur.

And finally, he reached the end of the dim-light corridor. A massive black heavy metal door was blocking his way. ''Why is it close?'' Kim Shin thought. What he remembered is, there''s indeed a massive metal door. However it was already widely open when they got here. So now, that it was suddenly sealed. Kim Shin keep his guard up. Still, clenching the sword in his right hand. He cautiously pushed the massive black metal door. Iiiing~ The massive metal door slowly opened. WHOOSH~ Wild air current blasted on him. Kim Shin covered his eyes with his left arm to defend from the sudden windblast. And with a ''BAM!'' the massive metal door completely opened. As he put down his left arm. What welcomed Kim Shin is a figure of a person in the distance clad in black cloak at the bottom of gargantuan black altar in the center stage of the spacious-lengthy Cathedral Hall with a numerous of long broken wooden chairs. The Cathedral Hall was filled of small white candle that illuminating the dark spacious hall. "Why aren''t those gate-keeper doing their only job.." Complained by the person in the black cloak standing on the blood ancient symbol painted on the Center Stage of the Cathedral Hall at the bottom of the Gargantuan Black Altar. Even though the distance of Kim Shin at the person in the black cloak is too far to hear what it''s saying. Kim Shin definitely heard it behind his ears. ''Its not a monster!'' Kim Shin was overcome by shock as he heard the archaic voice of the person in black cloak. "Yes. Maybe I''m not a monster. However, it could be, No, because I''m partly a monster. Did I answered your question?" At the sudden answer of his thought, Kim Shin could not help but to felt dread and unease. He could not hide anything from this person. ''Who is he?..'' "Who am I? I''m the sole survivor follower of the Undead King Emissary and the owner of the Cathedral you just sneaked in.. Mephisto." Mephisto leisurely proclaimed. BOOM! The sudden pressure descend after Mephisto''s words. "It seems like I''m done here.." Murmured by Mephisto as it looked at the gargantuan black altar above him. Despite of the increasing pressure in the atmosphere, Kim Shin still tried to appraise this mysterious person. ''Appraise'' ERROR! [ The level of the target is too high to use System Appraisal ] "Damn!.." Kim Shin cursed silently. "You''re undisciplined one huh.. Is your elders did not teach you that it''s bad to peek at something you don''t have a permission to see?" At Mephisto''s reprimand. Kim Shin realized what''s the hidden meaning behind Mephisto''s words. It seems like Mephisto is telling him that he knew what Kim Shin''s thinking and doing. "Mmh. Although, I''m already detoriating after the ritual I had completed. I''m still multiple times above of your level.." "What ritual?" "The comeback of my Majesty The Undead King on Yggdrasil and you will never witness his reigning.. Haha." After Mephisto''s revelation it suddenly started laughing maniacally that reverberated around the Cathedral Hall. "He''s mad.." Kim Shin muttered on shocking revelation as he watched Mephisto laughing like a lunatic. "Now, that I''m already done talking to you. You can die now and serve the King!" WHOOOSH~ After his declaration, Mephisto immediately advance forward to Kim Shin. ''Damn..'' whew~ ''If it goes to worst I might just gonna die once again. Heh!'' "Nevermind.." Kim Shin brushed off all his thinking and quickly activate all his skills. Over Limit! Accelerator! Pseudo Dragon Body! Blood Aura! BOOOOOOM! The pressuring atmosphere Kim Shin felt earlier quickly gone as his power soared up. Shockwave appeared around him, it''s his first time to activated all his buff skills at the same time. With a single step, BANG! The ground he stepped on crumbled as he instantaneously appeared before Mephisto like a quick lightning leaving a disintegrating red aura behind him. BAM! Another shock wave explode at the collision of Kim Shin''s black iron sword and Mephisto''s golden skull staff. " Fireball.." Mephisto slowly chanted. ''Goddamned madman. To shoot a fireball at close distance?'' Kim Shin quickly jumped backward and swear, annoyed at Mephisto''s despicable act. WHOOSH~ The fiery fireball with a size of a basket ball swiftly flew at him. Even at his over a hundred stats, the fireball that Mephisto''s shoot was so fast. Fortunately, Mephisto is currently weaken or else, Kim Shin probably already got burned by the fiery fireball. If, Mephisto is already this strong on his weaken state. WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~ Red fireballs rained down on Kim Shin. However, Kim Shin managed to dodge the flurry assaults of Mephisto and made counter attacks. "Hmm. You''re pretty nimble.." Mephisto admired Kim Shin''s nimbleness as he parried Kim Shin''s sword attack. CLANG! BAM! BOOOM! After exchanging a multiple blows, Mephisto suddenly jumped backward. "Well, I''d had enough entertainment. You''re pretty good. Sadly, you need to die." "Now, behold the power given by My King!." THUD! Mephisto stomped his golden skull staff on the polished ground. A big red magic circle with a different ancient symbols like ancient chinese characters in the inside, appeared as if painted on the ground where his staff stomped. "Come out, my child!" At Mephisto''s call, the ground where the red magic circle at, suddenly started to crack. CRACK! SHAKING~ The crack continue to get bigger. In the midst of the crumbling ground. A giant black left hand came out from the cracked ground. CRACK! BOOM! BOOM! The giant black hand grasp on the ground and slowly climb out that caused the ground greatly destroyed. "ROOOOOOAAARRRR" It made a deafening roar. When the monster finally climb out of the ground. Kim Shin finally realized what monster is it. "Minotaur.. it''s a bit Huge!" Yes. It was the same Undead Minotaur that he just massacred on the way. However, there''s a little difference. A big difference rather. It was too Humongous. Now, that it''s already standing it was almost 10 meter tall armed with a massive black bastard sword with its bulging muscle it could wield the Giant Sword with a simple swing.

You can''t defeat my child even if you kill me.. HAHA." Mephisto said while still madly laughing. However, his voice got obviously started to sound husky. He''s getting weaker at every second. 31 Killing Mephisto Mephisto is getting weaker at every second. "Go! My Child, Hack him to pieces!" Loudly ordered by Mephisto. ROAR!

However, as the smoke fades away, Kim Shin is nowhere to be found. The Herculean Undead Minotaur confusedly look around him. TAK! TAK! A running footsteps echo around. "BEHIND YOU!" Mephisto shouted. As he saw Kim Shin rushing at the back of his summoned monster. Kim Shin heard Mephisto but, he just smirk at this and before the Herculean Undead could look behind. BAM!

Sneaking from the sight of the Herculean monster. Once again. Gone from the monstrous monster eyes. The Herculean Undead Minotaur madly smashed everything around it. Mephisto also frowning at this situation because of the sneaky Kim Shin. WHOOSH! With whooshing sound, Kim Shin quickly dashed and jumped in the air. In the air, Kim Shin made a front flip and instantly dropped a left kick on the huge left bull face of the Herculean Undead Minotaur. BAM! ROAR! The gravity force increased the impact of Kim Shin''s kicked that caused the big monster fell on the ground. BOOM! BOOM! With its humongous size, A heavy tremor occurred as the Herculean Undead Minotaur dropped heavily on the ground. Kim Shin unhesitatingly took the opportunity. Dashing around, he gave the monstrous monster a multiple cuts on its giant muscular body. On the other hand, Mephisto watched Kim Shin played his precious summoned monster. "If I didn''t just had a ritual. I could trample you with ease.." Mephisto murmured while gritting his teeth. ROAR! ROAR! The Herculean Undead Minotaur was roaring in pain. "It seems I don''t have any choice now. I didn''t expect to be pushed like this by a puny human and now I need to use a risky skill.." Mephisto mumbled tiredly. Thud! Thud! Thud!

His heart still beating wildly. WHOOSH~ The smoke was instantly gone after a ferocious red wind blasted the foggy dust away. 32 Killing Herculean Undead Minotaur The smoke was instantly gone after a ferocious red wind blasted the foggy dust away. Leaving the completely unharmed, smaller and much powerful Herculean Undead Minotaur that already standing while releasing a vicious, swaying red aura from its humungous body as its red ruby eyes glows much stronger. Kim Shin could feel the pressure even with their distance; he felt that this fiend like aura of Herculean Undead Minotaur was really suited the gigantic monster. As he warily observing the giant monster, it suddenly made a fleet-footed movement that almost impossible for a big monster like this. It instantly appeared before Kim Shin and heavily swung its giant bastard sword. ''So fast!.'' Kim Shin quickly positioned his black iron sword with intention to parry the attack. However, when their swords collide, he felt the overwhelming attack of the Herculean Undead Minotaur. And, BOOOM! Kim Shin flew rightwards, crashed and rolled a multiple times on the wooden chairs of the Cathedral Hall because of the powerful force behind that heavy attack. Cough! Cough! He coughed in pain and wipes away the leaking blood at the corner of his mouth with his left arm as he struggled to stand up. ''It''s too strong..'' Kim Shin thought while feeling the pain on his back and numbness of his right arm.

Kim Shin saw the new information of Herculean Undead Minotaur that appeared before his eyes and couldn''t help himself but to curse. RUMBLE~ BOOOM! BOOOM! A heavy but quick footsteps echoed around that caused a mild tremor on the ground. The Herculean Undead Minotaur started to advance once more. Click! Closing the System''s window information, Kim Shin prepared himself from the incoming attack. In just a few second, the gargantuan monster arrived facing him. As the monster throw another sword smash, Kim Shin didn''t have any intention to parry it this time. Before the sword could hit him, Kim Shin already prepared for it. With a quick maneuver, he dodged it with ease threw a counter attacked. ROOOOOOAR! The Herculean Undead Minotaur roared in pain. Although, empowered by new power. Its body is still an Undead. "Undead? AH! That''s right! How could I forget that¡­" In the midst of the battle, Kim Shin suddenly remembered an important thing that could help in this fight. Hence, he immediately jumped back and without a delay opened his Status Window. CLICK! Closing the System''s Window, Kim Shin smirked at the rapidly advancing huge bull head. ''Now, let me try this now!'' At the face of each other, the Herculean Undead Minotaur swiftly swung his big weapon. CLANG! Kim Shin successfully parried the powerful attack of this gigantic monster. He smiled with satisfaction at the visible result. The reason behind the sudden increased at his power is the effect of the Mortiss Title that connected with his pendant given by Malkthanem after he passed the Trial Inheritance. [ Mortiss ] Effects: ? Additional +50% attack damage when facing undead creature. ? Additional +50% damage reduction when facing undead cre?ture. ¡öBane of all undead''s; Symbol Pendant of a follower of the Sovereign of Death. After he parried the assault, the Herculean Undead Minotaur attack speed steadily sped up. BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! Realizing that the giant monster started to used the quick smash skill. He hurriedly increased his speed to the limit. With Kim Shin''s high-speed movement, his body began to blur as he left behind after images. Dodging around, Kim Shin abruptly jumped high in the air and throw a vertical slash to the left bull horn of the giant monster. SLASH! CRACK! ROOAAAAR! With the improvement of his damage to undead type monster and speed at the highest. Kim Shin inflicted a massive damage at the Herculean Undead Minotaur that caused a fractured on the left bull horn. Despite of the big damage and the pain it felt, the Herculean Undead Minotaur did not stop at its attack. Kim Shin also didn''t stop his movements, he continue dodging and counterattacked. RUMBLE~ BOOM! BOOM! The Ruined Cathedral Hall started to crumble at their heavy blows. Debris was falling around them. BOOM! CRACK~ CRACK~ Kim Shin once again slashed the left bull horn of the violent monster. And the already fractured bull horn eventually cut in half by Kim Shin''s powerful blow. And it slowly fell on the ground. THUD! The massive bull horn heavily smashed on the ground. ROOOOOOAAAAAR!!!! The Herculean Undead Minotaur released a deafening roar after it saw its left horn fell on ground. Kim Shin instantaneously covered his both ears that almost bleed with his both hands and ran away from the enraged monster. ROOOOAAAAAAAR!!!! It continues roaring furiously. PSSSH~ While madly roaring, all of a sudden the Herculean Undead Minotaur humongous body began to leak a white smoke. As if, a hot iron, dipped in cold water. And, without a clue, the roaring monster stopped its roaring and pointed its big and wide mouth to Kim Shin who''s a few meters away. Numerous blood red lights were forming at the Minotaur big mouth. Sh*t! Kim Shin cursed as he madly moved far away from Herculean Undead Minotaur sight. However, BOOOOM! The red blast energy already released by the monster that instantly blown Kim Shin few yards away and covered with falling debris because of the wreckage. Fortunately, he equipped the Mortiss title and he managed to move a little before he got hit by the powerful bloody red energy. Nevertheless, he still received a huge damage by that attack. COUGH! COUGH! Kim Shin coughed a mouthful of blood as he climb out of the wreckage. Looking upward, he was stunned to discover that the enormous monster was already standing before him. ''Damn!'' ROAR! With a loud roar, it threw a sword smash at him. Kim Shin was about to dodge. However, he quickly changed his mind and braced the impact. BANG! He felt that one of his ribs got fractured at that attack as he flew away and crashed for another few meter on the ground. Kim Shin endured the pain. Struggling to stand up, he straight away took out an Advance Health Potion. It''s a big as his fist and circular glass bottle with a red hot liquid inside. He quickly drank it. "9 seconds left.." Kim Shin murmured in himself. His health points quickly recovered and his fractured rib also got mended. BOOOM! The enraged monster didn''t let Kim Shin have a rest. It immediately pounced and instantly arrived at Kim Shin holding an already swinging giant bastard sword. However, though he clearly saw the incoming attack; Kim Shin weirdly didn''t dodge again. WHOOOSH~ BAM! BOOOM! Kim Shin''s body curved at the crushing attack as he flew and slammed deep on the wall of Cathedral Hall. "Ugh.." Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Groan slipped out of his mouth. A big cut on his pseudo dragon upper torso was inflicted by the heavy sword attack. Kim Shin''s upper torso began to bleed. Holding his bleeding left flank, Kim Shin jumped down the wall and hurriedly brought out an Intermediate Health Potion from his inventory which is obviously small and thinner than Advance Health Potion. After he drank the potion, his bleeding body finally stopped and his health points recovered once again. "7 seconds.." DING! His System suddenly alerted him. [Durability of your Blue Eyed Black Dragon''s Robe was quickly falling down!] Kim Shin only gave it a single glance before he focused once more at the swift advancing Herculean Undead Minotaur. BOOOOM! Afterwards, Kim Shin was assaulted by the enormous monster multiple times. Drinking health potion once more, Kim Shin saw the Herculean Undead Minotaur was about to shoot another Blood Ray Blast at him. However, this time he doesn''t have any intention to just watch himself getting beat up. "3 seconds" With a ''WOOSH'' Kim Shin hurriedly and unhesitatingly dashed forward to the humongous half-bull, half-human. ''2 seconds'' Kim Shin continued to count down inwardly as he jumped high in the air. With an intention to face upfront the incoming attack. ''1 second'' BOOOOOM! The Herculean Undead Minotaur fired the ball of red energy to Kim Shin. As he saw the bloody red ray, instead of avoiding it, Kim Shin shockingly received the powerful attack. He was greatly pushed by this attack. However, he didn''t mind it. And, ''Now! At the cue inside his mind; Kim Shin quickly focus his mind at his black iron sword and, "Deflect!

SWOOOSH! SLASH! The space almost split apart with this massive slash. The seems like fresh blood slash, flew straight to the Herculean Undead Minotaur. !! The gigantic monster was alarmed at this attack but he couldn''t run from it. ROOOOOAAAARRR!! It roared in pain as the Kim Shin''s slash slowly cut the Herculean Undead Minotaur in half. [ You''ve defeated the Herculean Undead Minotaur ] WHOOOSH! CRACK! BOOOOOM! The minotaur died. However, Kim Shin''s slash didn''t stop there. It continued passed the minotaur body and cut through the wall of the Cathedral Hall. BOOOOOM!!! TREMBLE~ The impact caused heavy tremor at the Massive Cathderal and the slash continue to destroy some ruined old house near the Massive Cathedral. 33 Another Hidden Artifac As the candle lights off because of the havoc. PLOP! Kim Shi who got stuck on the slashing position, directly fell on the ground after he witness the power and wreck he caused by the combination of 50% of accumulated damage and the black crescent slash. Huff! Huff! Kim Shin, who''s lying on the ground with his face, slowly turned his body up and struggle for breath. He''s over fatigue and mentally exhausted since he started to receive the attacks of Herculean Undead Minotaur. Although, drinking health potions recover his health points. However, it doesn''t recover his stamina and mental energy even a bit. "I got so full of myself this time." Kim Shin lament in his recklessness. He didn''t prepared himself enough from anything unexpected that might happen like this. Especially that he forgot the Mortiss Title because, he just easily massacred a number of undead at his way. He forgot to use the title at early time. Maybe, if he used it at first. He won''t have to be at this situation. Ding~ It seems like the System Notification got delayed because of the damage happened. "Ha... I already miss the food cooked by my beautiful, wife. I could not wait any longer to meet her again." Kim Shin sighed sorrowfully. While still lying on the ground, He checked his rewards elatedly. [You''ve leveled up!] [You''ve leveled up!] [You''ve obtained Heavy Steel Sword] [You''ve obtained Herculean Undead Minotaur Horn x 1] [You''ve obtained Herculean Undead Minotaur Leather Skin x 2] [You''ve obtained Empowered nucleus] "Sweet!." He uttered in happiness after he saw the rewards he obtained. Particularly, that he leveled up twice. "I''m finally level 15" At this satisfying reward, he continued to appraise the information of the rewards he obtained. [Heavy Steel Sword] Grade: Rare Type: Two-handed Sword Level requirement: 20 Stats requirement: 20 STR (+ 100 attack damage, + 5 Strength, - 20 movement speed) "Nice, although it could only be use after I''d reach level 20, this is much better than nothing.." Kim Shin muttered in contentment. Then, he continued inspecting.

"A unique one time use item!" Uttered in surprised by Kim Shin. It was really unexpected loot. In Yggdrasil there''s a lot of one time use item. Like curse scroll that could curse everything around 500 meters. There''s also a magic scroll that could release numerous burning comet that could destroy a country. However, those items are the rarest. Even so, having these buff type one time use item is already a jackpot in Tutorial Stage. He really hit a jackpot this time. "Oh! yeah. Mephisto''s dropped item..." After he checked his rewards, Kim Shin remembered Mephisto''s staff. [Gold Staff] -unidentified "What?" Kim Shin was dumbfounded at the result. Hence, he tried to appraise the staff one more time. ''Appraise'' ERROR! [Item level is too high to perform appraisal] ".. How really high was Mephisto''s level?" He couldn''t help but to heaved a sighed as he kept guessing Mephisto''s true level. "Anyway, I should go and get the hidden artifact!" CLICK! Kim Shin closed the System''s Window. Releasing his pseudo dragon body, Kim Shin leisurely brought out a Basic Health Potion and quickly drank it. Lying down on the ground for a few moments, though not completely heal. It''s enough for Kim Shin to stand up on his foot again. And, he awkwardly stretched his aching body around. CRACK! Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Cracking sound could be heard as he stretched his muscular but exhausted body. "Ugh¡­" A moan escaped from his mouth as if his pleasured. "Now, where is it again?" From the center of the Ruined Cathedral Hall, Kim Shin walked slowly to the front, where the Gargantuan Black Altar is. Arriving at the bottom of the Black Altar, Kim Shin size was like an ant beside an elephant. He slowly looked upward and finally he saw the feature of the huge black altar that he never saw before. He never saw, Mephisto and this altar before. Because, when they got here before it''s already full of rubbish seems like a fight already finished when they got here. Although the candle lights are gone, the Cathderal Hall was still dimly illuminated by the lamppost outside of the Massive Cathedral where Kim Shin''s blasted the wall widely opened. It was like a normal demon in role-playing games. A long twisted horn seems like a goat horn. However, it has three eyes; two eyes like a human and the third eye were on the middle of its forehead. It also have a six small black feather wings at its back which really hard to notice. "This is the center of this stage, so the artifact is going to be here!" Kim Shin muttered as he slowly walked to the left side of the big altar. At the corner, he meticulously touched the polished wall. And, when his hand felt a line that seems like not connected to the polished wall. Kim Shin immediately pushed it. CREAK! A small rectangular brick was pressed in. TREMBLE! The stage he was standing on suddenly vibrated and in the middle of the stage, a rectangular like door opened about. It was a Hidden Basement. Of course, Kim Shin didn''t discover this before. It was the forever quiet and keen, Mawi. Kim Shin carefully walked down the basement. Walking by the staircase, it wasn''t dark at all because of the given light at the distance. Clenching his nicked black iron sword. As he neared where the light coming from, Kim Shin arrived at the small square brick-wall room. With a bookshelve on the right corner and a wooden desk at the opposite side of Kim Shin. On the wooden desk, there is a unadorned wooden box. Kim Shin''s eyes lit up when he noticed the wooden box on the table. He excitedly grabbed the wooden box. Opening it, a black, rusty old ring was laying inside there. Despite the commonly look of the item, Kim Shin knew how this item could be useful at later time. Appraising it.

Kim Shin was ecstatic at the information. Although their group is the one who found this before. However, he didn''t get a hold of this item for long. Because of that certain incident that almost kill them. Kim Shin killing intent starting to leaked out as he remembered that incident. "It''s time to leave.." ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î When Kim Shin was about to leave the Massive Door of Cathedral Hall, he sensed a number of presence before the door. ''Hmm'' Kim Shin stopped his movement and wait for them to come out. "Seems like you''re pretty keen to sense us even at this distance..." Said by a big voice of a man. Thud! Thud! Footsteps echoed around. A man showed himself to Kim Shin behind him is 9 more people. "Bradley Kingsberg..." 34 Bradley A 6''6 ft tall long blonde-haired man, fully clad in black fitted plate armour and armed with a two-handed steel sword on its back, behind him is nine more people armed with different kinds of weapon that seems like a party of 10 going to a Boss Hunt. "Oh, seems like you know who I am..." Said by the blonde-haired man on the lead with full of arrogant tone. "Hehehe, you''re right boss, since your name is at the first list of kill rankings. You might probably pretty famous right now¡­" The man said who look like a crook, clothed with light leather armour at the right side behind the blonde-haired man that obviously just bootlicking his boss. "Yes, you''re right Fart, our boss was probably famous right now!" Agreed by a red-haired, tall and curvaceous woman, dressed in a lavender fitted robe, that wrapped tightly against her body, giving an emphasis of her perky chest. She had a pair of slender, white legs that made her more attractive though her look was plain and armed with oak staff on her hand. "It''s FARRET! Stop calling me fart! You sl*t!" Furiously retort by Farret as he looks at the woman on the other side behind the blonde-haired man. "Farret! Lina! Enough!" Before the woman could answer back, their boss, blonde-haired man stopped them with a commanding tone. "Yes, boss." The two subjects timidly replied as they shut their mouth. They are afraid at their boss getting piss off. Since they knew that their boss won''t hesitate to kill them if they didn''t obey their boss command. "Oh. Of course, I really know who you are..." Kim Shin said in admiring tone. "Oh. Really?" The blond-haired man asked in full of expectation. "I absolutely know you. I know how you violated those girls that asked for your help and kill them after using them. I also know that you could unhesitatingly take a life just for items, Bradley Kingsberg¡­" Kim Shin continued with a sarcastic tone as he exposed all the bad deed Bradley had done. Kim Shin and his party experienced how Bradley played with their party before. He also remembered how Bradley tortured them just because they didn''t give his demand. So, Bradley tortured them before he forcefully took the Dimension Ring from them. "You!!" Bradley was taken aback as he furiously glared at Kim Shin. He didn''t know this man. However, how this man could knew a lot about him. Especially the terrible things he did. At the furious Bradley, his members were deeply shocked at Kim Shin''s revelation. They knew their boss was tyrannical but they didn''t expect to be so cruel to the point he could abuse girls that need his help. "You, who are you?" Despite fuming in anger, Bradley still calmly inquired. He didn''t know how this man knew about him. He never saw him. If this man could watch him in the distance without him knowing, then this man was probably formidable. "Me? I''m just one of your fans¡­" Kim Shin mischievously answered. He didn''t tell his name because it wasn''t his afraid of Bradley. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. He just felt like to tease him. "You- never mind. If you don''t want to say then be it. I don''t need to know a dead man name¡­" Even though frustrated, Bradley was still full of himself as he considered Kim Shin as an already dead man. "Boss, do you want me to handle that guy?" Farret continued bootlicking as he hoped Bradley agree to his request. So, he has a chance to prove to himself. Farret always wanted to be recognized by his boss and to be the second in command of the party. "Okay, go ahead¡­" Bradley easily agreed. Although he knew at himself that he is strong. However, he''s still not sure at what ability Kim Shin has. On the other hand, Farret was smiling gleefully as he didn''t expect that his boss going to agreed that simply. "Hehe. Thank you, Boss. I will immediately finish him." Farret chuckled as he gratefully replied at his boss. While on the other hand, Bradley simply nodded in response. He didn''t instruct anything on Farret. Excitedly walking forward, Farret stopped few meters before Kim Shin. "It''s your fault to pissed off our boss. Well, I can kill you painlessly if you hand to me all your belongings." Fatter arrogantly uttered as he demanded Kim Shin''s items. "Hmph!" Kim Shin only snorted at Farret absurdly demands. "It seems like you wanted to die more painful eh?" At those words, Farret quickly brought out a two black iron dagger from his inventory. "Face your death!" With that declaration, Farret swiftly advances with an intention to slay Kim Shin. Watching the swift Farret as if blinking, Kim Shin could see that Farret input all of his Points in his Agility. WHOOSH! Farret instantly arrived before Kim Shin and quickly strike Kim Shin neck with his right dagger. "Heh! You''re dead¡­" Farret smiled when he was about to slash Kim Shin''s neck. SLASH! He successfully cut Kim Shin''s neck as he passed through him. However, Farret felt weird, he didn''t feel the hardness of the human body. He felt like, he only cut the air. SWISH! The sliced Kim Shin suddenly vanished. No, to be precise it was only Kim Shins after image. Bradley Kingsberg who''s watching at the distance suddenly frowned at Kim Shin speed. Even him he doesn''t know where Kim Shin gone. And Bradley''s party members also gasped in surprise. Hearing the gasps of his team, Farret knew there''s something wrong and when he looked back, he didn''t see Kim Shin''s body. Whoosh! A whooshing sound echoed as a gust of wind blow Farret nape. Phew~ "You''re fast, but, not fast as me¡­" Kim Shin whispered who out of nowhere appeared behind Farret. With his Accelerator already cool downed, Kim Shin immediately activated his speed booster before could Farret slice him. "WHA?!" Farret stumbled while running as plopped his butt on the ground, he was frightened at the sudden whisper from his behind. "H-how could you be so fast?" Farret stuttered when he questioned Kim Shin, since, he''s still utterly scared stiff at Kim Shin. "You don''t need to know. Stand up and fight!" Kim Shin fiercely glared as he urged Farret to stand up and fight. The reason he didn''t kill Farret quickly was, to play with them and give them the experience what they had experienced before. "I-I..." Farret couldn''t speak and move when Kim Shin deeply glared at him. "Move or I will kill you right now!" Kim Shin bellowed at still not moving Farret. He wants them to feel what is true despair. So, he will slowly let them feel it. "Stand up, Farret!" Bradley who''s still paying attention at what''s happening ordered Farret loudly. "Damn!" Farret silently swore as he gathers his strength. He doesn''t have any choice now that his Boss was commanding him. Though, it''s his fault to volunteer to fight Kim Shin. He still couldn''t help but to felt bitter at his Boss reaction. Farret was certain that his boss already knew the difference between him and Kim Shin. However, his boss still urged him to fight Kim Shin despite the high possibility that he might die. Gnashing his teeth, Farret slowly stood up and position his dagger. "HAAA!!" With a roar, Farret dashed to Kim Shin in displeasure and discontentment on his boss. As he arrived before Kim Shin he clenched his teeth and swung his dagger CLANG! A black iron sword deflects Farret''s attacks. Farret was momentarily shocked. However, he still continuously strikes Kim Shin. He just wields it hoping to hit Kim Shin even by luck. "You''re pathetic!" Kim Shin seriously criticized as he saw the pathetic attacks of Farret. He knew that Farret already lost his will to fight him. "What?!" At Kim Shin''s words, Farret was briefly puzzled, but when he realizes what Kim Shin''s mean with those words. Farret immediately flared up. He can''t take Kim Shin''s mockery. He''s still a man after all. "Arrrrggghhhh!" Farret madly growls like an enraged beast as he thoughtlessly wields his daggers to Kim Shin. CLANG! CLANG! Kim Shin easily deflects all Farret''s strikes. However, when he was about to counter attack Farret. He saw a black dagger, quickly approaching his head. CLANG! He was temporarily surprised at the dagger Farret''s threw on him, but, it didn''t take long for him to deflect it. After deflecting the first throwing dagger another dagger swiftly flew at him. However, he dodged it with ease just by ducking his head. As soon as he dodged the last throwing dagger, Kim Shin quickly pounced at Farret who''s trying to escape after he threw his weapon. WHOOSH~ BANG! Kim Shin instantly reached Farret and he fiercely threw a kick to Farret right flank. BAM! "Ugh!" Farret knocked a few meters away after Kim Shin solidly hit him. Cough! Cough! "Weakling¡­" Bradley spat as he saw Farret getting beaten by Kim Shin. Lina who''s just behind Bradley heard what Bradley mumbled and apologetically looked at the coughing in pain Farret. Although, they always argue she knew in her heart that Farret is the only member of their party she''s closed to. Cough! Cough! Farret continue coughing a mouthful of blood as he tried to stand up. However, he couldn''t pick his body up and he fell back on the ground. Watching this, Kim Shin knew that the fight is over. Kim Shin slowly turned his head and stared deeply at the furious Bradley. Seems like electrifying spark is igniting as the two looked at each other. A red aura of Kim Shin and blue aura of Bradley are leaking out of their body. At the midst of their intent glaring, Kim Shin suddenly smirked and about to dashed at Bradley. However, before he could move forward a burning fireball, bigger than a normal size fireball flew on him. BOOM! 35 Monster Spiri DOOOM! A fiery fireball loudly exploded as it sped to Kim Shin that caused a foggy smoke. However, before it could blast Kim Shin, he timely cut the burning ball in half that shot by Lina. Although, he was a bit shocked by it, Kim Shin continue to move forward, despite the smoke that blocked his sight and heat caused by the fireball attack. Whoosh~ Piercing to the big smoke, Kim Shin swiftly advance forward that made his dark hair sway and his robe flapped with his rapid speed as he evaded all the incoming attacks of Bradley''s party members. BOOM! BOOOM! Multiple arrows and Fireballs rained down on him that blasted the ground after he successfully dodged their assaults. "Go! Fire more arrows!" Yelled by a tall and slender brown-haired man in the exact position behind Bradley. Though this man is the one ordering, no one complained since Bradley didn''t react to this, he just kept his eyes on calmly moving Kim Shin. BOOOM! WHOOOSH Kim Shin once again dashed throughout the big smokes caused by the explosions. Spite of their continuous attacks, Kim Shin didn''t seriously mind them. Those puny arrows won''t be able to pierce his body if he activates timely his pseudo dragon body. "Let''s go! What you all waiting for? Defend our boss!" Screamed once again by the man behind Bradley that about to advance to Kim Shin. However, Bradley suddenly raised up his left hand, hinting them to stop. "Don''t move! He is mine..." Bradley arrogantly said while still glaring at Kim Shin with malicious intent as he kept his wicked smile. Yes, He admits that Kim Shin is strong and fast. However, he still has his pride being at the Top Killing Ranking. He believes that, he''s more powerful than Kim Shin. WHOOOSH As the attackers stop their assault, Kim Shin easily arrived before Bradley with a powerful gust behind him that caused by his fast movements. Standing face to face with Bradley, Kim Shin was about to throw a powerful swing of his black iron sword. However, he saw Bradley smirked. By that, Kim Shin took back his swinging arm and jumped back quickly. WHOOOSH~ A pale azure wild energy came slashing at Kim Shin''s previous place that''s starting to change the figure to a 5-meter tall Hyena. And, with a ''Boom!!'' a powerful aura explodes out that caused a little tremor on the Ruined Cathedral Hall. ''Tch.'' Bradley clicked his tongue after he saw how Kim Shin easily dodged his surprise attack. On the other hand, Kim Shin seriously appraised the blue energy that appeared out of nowhere at the front of Bradley. "Monster Spirit?!" Uttered by Kim Shin. He didn''t expect that Bradley would have a great luck to find a monster spirit. Monster Spirit was a like a pet similar in the role-playing games. It was very hard to get even after slaughtering a bunch of monsters. Only lucked could decide if you can find it. Since, Monster Spirit was like a pet that can grow with its master, although doesn''t have their material body. They still can use, and evolve their skills. However, despite the thing that they can grow, the penalty was very high. Once, a monster spirit that contracted with a person die, it will be forever be gone and the person contracted with it will face a large penalty. Negative -50% to all their stats for 6 months. That''s a really harsh penalty, losing half of total stats for 6 months. Considering even just a day or two passed, lot of unexpected things could happen in this insane world. In that 6 months penalty they need to lie low for them to survive and the worst is, they couldn''t grind level with weak stats. [Dark Hyena Spirit Lv. 20] SKILLS: [Swift Claws Lv. 2] (Active) ?

''So, he got lucky to face a field boss or maybe a kill steal if it''s based on Bradley attitude.'' He thought while preparing to advance again. However, Bradley initiated the attack before Kim Shin could advance. BAM! WHOOSH~ The air around the Dark Hyena''s Spirit explode as its speed to Kim Shin. Kim Shin immediately bends his body sidewards to evade the fast attack of the spirit as he looked at the monster spirit passed through him. SLASH~ A short scratch suddenly appeared on his right cheeks even though he dodged the attack. BOOM! The air once again loudly exploded when the Monster Spirit stopped his movements and swiftly faced Kim Shin once again. And there, he saw the large claws of the spirit slowly back to its normal size. ''It surprised me, but that''s all. It can''t stop me from my goal.'' With that in mind, Kim Shin decided to kill Bradley first. However, before he could leave the Dark Hyena''s Spirit, he sense a powerful aura quickly advancing behind him. Kim Shin couldn''t dodge it since Dark Hyena''s Spirit also started to attack. BOOOM! CLANG! CLANG! A powerful explosion occurred as the attacks collides that sandwich Kim Shin. A powerful explosion occurred as the attacks collides that sandwich Kim Shin. The collision caused a mild tremor and wreck around the area. The smoke around them slowly disappeared and the result of the collision surprised Bradley''s party. Gasps could be heard as they didn''t expect what they discover. Their powerful boss with his precious monster spirit failed to cause a damage to Kim Shin. Kim Shin didn''t want to activate his Pseudo dragon body so early, since stamina consumption of this ability is high. However, he doesn''t have any choice but to activate it. So, before he could hit by them, he immediately activated his dragon body to parry the huge sword of Bradley and grab sharp claws of Dark Hyena Spirit. Silence filled the surroundings. No one expects Kim Shin to suddenly transformed to seems like a reptile-monster. As they are stunned at the situation, Kim Shin quickly threw a right kick to the Dark Hyena Spirit face and threw a left punch to Bradley right face that knocked Bradley few meters away. Kim Shin didn''t just stop there, he followed with a slant sword strike to the left flank of the azure spirit that caused a huge cut but quickly back to its original form again. ''Damn'' Kim Shin cussed. Knowing that he could only inflict a small damage to this monster. Although it''s true that the Monster Spirit Health points is connected to their summoner, it''s also a fact that they don''t have a physical body so all the damage they received is truly small compared to the large health of their summoner. The Dark Hyena''s Spirit loudly roared and immediately flew to him. ''WHOOSH!'' Facing this attack, Kim Shin didn''t treat it seriously. He just calmly dodges and turned to look at Bradley, who''s brushing the blood dripping on the corner of his mouth. "I admit you''re really strong and you gave me a more reason to kill you right now!" Bradley said in a menacing tone of voice as his eyes began to turn red like a mad vicious beast. ROAR! A deafening roar released by Bradley. BOOM! An air Shockwave erupted around Bradley as he roared. "It seems our boss was already taking that man seriously.." Uttered by the blonde haired man and the other just nodded their head in agreement as they focus their eyes on the upcoming big fight. Because they never saw their boss fight all out with a human except boss monsters. "Now watch me how I beat you to death" Bradley stated while wickedly smiling. And with a whooshing sound, the Dark Hyena''s Spirit swiftly flew back at him that covered his head to toe. BOOM! A powerful aura exploded out after the Monster Spirit and Bradley merged. The new appearance of Bradley was really intimidating. His body looks more menacing with his bulging muscles that constricted by his black plate fitted armour added by his azure aura helmet in a figure of Hyena. On the other hand, Kim Shin only watched everything occurred. Since, he desired them to feel the despair they experienced, he will defeat them in their strongest state. He''s also willing to go all out if needed. BOOOM! The ground where he stands on caved in as he also activated his Blood Aura. Kim Shin smiled at the situation. He never felt this kind of excitement before. Although, he also experienced the feeling of fighting with someone. However, it lacked excitement which life and death is unknown and couldn''t be guessed. "Hmph!" Bradley snorted when he saw Kim Shin smile. He didn''t know what this man thinking to smile even at his death. With that thought, Bradley furiously dashed at Kim Shin. BANG! Bradley broke through a speed of sound. Seeing that Bradley already started to move Kim Shin also didn''t hesitate to face Bradley upfront. With a BOOM! Kim Shin pounced to Bradley as he also broke at the speed of sound. Instantly arriving at each other. They threw a sword strike at the same time. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. BOOOOOM! A powerful explosion occurred as the debris around them flew and blown around. 36 Fury BOOOOOM! A powerful explosion occurred as the surrounding debris flew and blown around. SWOOSH~ "Ugh..." Shock waves blasted around with few rocks flying around that hit some of Bradley''s party members. Lina and others defend their selves from the gust of collision as they kept their eyes on the result. In the foggy dust, two people blasted out of the smoke. BOOOM! Kim Shin blasted out after the collision, he flew a few meters away and did a back flip as he heavily landed on the ground with a noticeable blood on his right cheekbone. On the other hand, Bradley was blown few yards away as he stopped the force with his feet and left hand on the ground. His azure aura helmet was slashed by Kim Shin but it was quickly back to its original form. At the moment, as their swords collide, Kim Shin felt his black iron sword cracked by it. So, he deviated his sword to lessen the damage that cut the azure aura helmet of Bradley. And the result of his act was a shallow cut on his right cheeks inflicted by Bradley. "Seems like our boss got the upper hand on the earlier clashed¡­" Said by the slender blonde-haired man beside Lina, whose frowning at the result. "It may look like our boss got the upper hand, but if you look closely our boss didn''t have the upper hand. Remember our boss was completely good. He''s at his peak condition. On the other hand, that guy it seems like he already fought a battle before we got here..." At Lina''s explanation, the other beside her eventually realized the truth. Although, they can''t accept it, since in their eyes and mind their boss is really powerful. However, they couldn''t retort Lina since she also has a point. BOOM! WHOOOOSH~ Bradley viciously advance once more, he couldn''t believe that he was getting pushed despite his power. ''I won''t believe that I can''t defeat you!'' With that in mind, he flashed to Kim Shin, brought the already swinging huge sword on his back. ''Tch.'' Kim Shin clicked his tongue in frustration. His black iron sword won''t hold for long. He need to finish the fight immediately. Kim Shin also moved at the same time with Bradley. BOOM! Instantly arriving before Bradley, Kim Shin was about to strike Bradley. However, a swift sword was coming to the left side of his neck. At that attack, Kim Shin immediately defended his neck with his black dragon ability, he easily caught it with his dragon like left hand. CLANG! So, without wasting more time, while holding Bradley''s sword. He swung his sword to Bradley''s neck. However, before he could hit Bradley, an azure aura with a form of big claw grabbed his black iron sword and Kim Shin saw Bradley opened his mouth widely seems like about to roar. Realizing Bradley''s intention, Kim Shin also opened his mouth and, ROARRRRR~ ROARRRRR~ Kim Shin and Bradley roared at the same time. All that happened in almost just a blink of an eye. A boss hyena and dragon roar filled the surroundings that caused a mild tremors and bleeding ears of Bradley''s party members. "Ughh" Groaned in pain by one of Bradley''s members as he put his both hands on his bleeding ears. PENG! BOOOM! A man rocketed down heavily and shook the ground as it made a huge smoke. Silence filled after that and when the huge smoke fades away, Bradley was there left knee on the ground still shocked and stunned with a visible fist print at his right cheeks. He never knew that Kim Shin also have a skill like him that can stun a target just by a roar and besides of that it was more powerful than his skill. He was the one got affected, while Kim Shin seems like didn''t affected by his skill even a bit.

But what Bradley didn''t know is even if his skill is more potent, he never be able to affect Kim Shin, since Kim Shin have a status ailments immunity. On the other hand, Kim Shin looked at the unconscious Farret, who couldn''t stand another damage anymore. Looking back at Bradley, Kim Shin saw that despite the shallow damage Bradley received he''s still not moving on his position. "Appraise" ERROR! [The target''s level is too high to perform system appraisal] Kim Shin tried to appraise Bradley. However, a red big ''Error'' popped out as he failed to find information about Bradley. The error only occurred if the level of the target is more than ten-level above the user level. ''It seems like Bradley really grind a level like crazy'' Kim Shin level is 15 and already pretty high compared to others at this stage. However Bradley''s level is on another level. So, it''s not wrong to say that Bradley was really strong even back then. BOOM! BOOM! The ground quake as Bradley pounded the ground with his fist. "ARGHH!" Out of nowhere, Bradley roared out like a mad beast. BOOM! Behind the loud roaring, a heavy aura suddenly descended as the atmosphere started to hard for anyone to breathe. Kim Shin frown on this, while Bradley''s party members crawl on the ground and few were already unconscious. BOOM! The ground quakes and started to crack. The caused of this none other than Bradley who''s still roaring his head up high. Looking closely, a black fur began to appear on Bradley''s face, and his teeth started to grow like Hyena''s ferocious fangs. As, his pupils turned Sharpe like cat''s eyes and his Sclera turned red like blood. "Bloodline?!" Kim Shin uttered in disbelief. BOOM! With another explosion, transformation of Bradley finally ended with a black furry tail behind him. Bradley''s appearance right now is more devilish compared earlier. His body like a humanoid hyena with azure dancing aura around his body made him more look evil. When suddenly Bradley looked sharply at Kim Shin. "HEHEHEHE.." Wickedly laughed by Bradley as he dashed and instantaneously arrived before Kim Shin and with a ''BANG'' he swung his sword to Kim Shin from above his head. Fortunately, Kim Shin defended it before he got hit. However, he was still blasted by the impact behind Bradley''s current strength. Phua! "Damn! Too Strong..." Kim Shin angrily spat the few rocks that accidentally entered his mouth. WHOOSH! As he was just got out of the place, he got landed at, a whooshing could be heard as Bradley appeared before Kim Shin''s face. BOOM! Devilish Bradley blows Kim Shin face with a powerful left punch with his monster like fist. "HEHEHEHE.." Bradley laughed like an evil demon once again after he blasted Kim Shin away. Kim Shin flew so far away as he crashed and landed almost at the Black Altar of the Cathedral Hall. "He''s also fast..." Cough! Kim Shin stood up as he coughed a mouthful of blood. "Damn!" Brushing off the blood drip out from his mouth. Kim Shin opened his System and changed his title as he brought out an Item from his Inventory. "It seems like. I need to use you now huh?" Kim Shin muttered while looking at the golden bracer at his hand. [Do you want to equip King Olazusk Fury Bracer? ] [Yes|No] A System alert appeared before his eyes and without hesitation, he clicked the yes button. SHING~ A golden bracer armguard appeared and equipped fittedly on his left arm as the ruby gem on the center of it shone. "Now, final round. Fury!" BOOOOM! "ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!" Powerful red aura exploded out from Kim Shin after he activated the sole skill of the King Olazusk Fury Bracer that caused Kim Shin Sclera turned red, pupil change to white as his body size began to change. His muscles started to bulge even more. BOOOM! Another shock wave erupted out from Kim Shin''s body as his body also started to change to red like a hot iron. Kim Shin''s fang began to grow longer like a dragon that complimented with his dragon scales. BOOOM! ROOOAR! Few meters around him caved in with his powerful red aura as he roared loudly. Huff! Huff! Kim Shin eyes looked so fierce as he started confusedly looking around. "I''m not out of my mind, don''t tell me because of the negative effect immunity that''s why I''m not affected by negative ailments? Hahaha It''s really an op skill!" Kim Shin laughed in ecstasy. He didn''t expect it. He was already prepared to go berserk after he activated the skill. However, surprisingly it did not affect him. BOOM! A sound of quick speeding echoed around. Kim Shin looked over and found Bradley began to advance once again and smirked at it. "Come! Fight!" Kim Shin yelled out as he also dashed to Bradley. BOOM! They quickly reached each other despite the far distance. BOOM! Clang! Their swords collide once again that caused a powerful shockwave and shook the area. Crack! Another visible cracked appeared at Kim Shin sword. However, he didn''t mind the possibility of his sword breaking. He just wanted to fight. Fight! Kim Shin was happily yelling inside his mind. This is life he never experiences before. So, experiencing it now made him realize how pathetic his life before. BOOOM! Bradley and Kim Shin throw a body punch to each other. BOOM! BOOM! Crack! Cracking bones could be heard as they sent a powerful body blow to each other. "Grrrrr..." Bradley started to growl in pain as, he put his sword over his head and swung it to Kim with two hands. Kim Shin decided to parry it. Clang! Crack! However, his sword couldn''t hold anymore damage and broke into half. BOOOM! Kim Shin upper torso was hit by Bradley Huge sword and dropped his right knee heavily on the ground that caused it to crumble. "Ugh!" Clenching his teeth, Kim Shin pushed his body up as he grabbed Bradley''s sword. ROAR!With a loud roar, Kim Shin threw the sword out of Bradley''s hands. And. BOOM! He threw a heavy punch on Bradley''s abs that pounded Bradley''s guts. "Uak!" The out of control Bradley vomited a blood by Kim Shin''s powerful punch. Kim Shin didn''t stop there. He made a roundhouse kicked that hit Bradley''s jaw. BOOOM! Bradley was blasted a number of meters away and crashed like a wrecking twisted tornado. 37 Stomping around ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ Despite the damage Kim Shin inflicted to Bradley. Bradley still safely landed all four on the ground with long print of his claws on the ground as he stopped the impact that forcing him to pushed backwards. WHOOSH! Even without a sword the out of control Bradley, madly pounced to Kim Shin once again. "Grrr..." Growling sound could be heard as Bradley drool in craziness. BAM! Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Of course, Kim Shin also didn''t think twice to face off Bradley. And this time with a ''Bang!'' their monster-like claws collide as a powerful shock waves once more appeared around them. BAM! BAM! Punches are raining on both of them. They are not fighting like an experience fighter. They are fighting like a thug. Kim Shin fight for excitement except on his goal revenge. While, on the other hand Bradley''s was already out of his mind and just constantly hitting Kim Shin, despite the heavy damages he received. BOOOM! BOOOM! They hit their faces at the same time. That caused a bloody imprint at their monster like face. BAM! CRACK Another batch of punched rocketed. However, this time with loud sound of cracking. "ARGH!" Followed up by a loud groaned in pain of Bradley as his left ribs got fractured by Kim Shin assaults. Lina who''s still conscious and watching at the distance on the ground. Witnessed in disbelief how Kim Shin instead of getting exhausted was starting to build up his momentum and getting stronger by every minute as he threw punches all over Bradley''s body. "T-This can''t be real... How could he be still this strong?" Lina muttered stuttering as her eyes widened in shocked and horror. The reason of it is Kim Shin''s title that he changed before he activate the Fury skill. [ One Who Triumphed Over Death ] Effect: ? For every 1% HP lost, all stats increased by 1%. ¡ö It''s a title given to the one who has courageously endured Death multiple times. This is the skill he got after the Trial Inheritance. He could say this one really well fitted for him, since he will face a lot of troubles soon. And having this title is like a heaven-sent gift. So, that''s why Kim Shin did not use his Class specific skill that could him and didn''t take any health potion since every 1%HP he lost it will improved all his stats by 1%. So, after he received a lot Bradley''s attacks, Kim Shin began to get more powerful as he build up his momentum. Movements getting quicker. Attacks getting faster and stronger. Stamina getting more durable. However, he knew that he could not last for long. He was honestly exhausted because he didn''t have a good rest after the fight with Mephisto and his herculean undead. Practically, for anyone, what Kim Shin''s did was truly suicide. Imagine, you''re still exhausted and you fight a party of high level people with their boss stats are same with a boss monster. BOOM! CRACK! "UGH!" Another punch from Kim Shin pounded Bradley''s on the ground as it grimaced in pain because of another fractured bones. Lying on the ground, Bradley tried to stand up. However it''s all futile, since Kim Shin didn''t let Bradley get what he wanted to do. Kim Shin immediately stomped his right foot on Bradley''s face. "Urghk!" Bradley made a noise like an angry boar, seems like it was surprised by the sudden stomped on his face that brought a huge pain at his face. BOOM! BOOM! Kim Shin continuously pounded Bradley''s face. He''s not so heavy stomped started to getting heavier as he remembered his past encounter with Bradley''s party. BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM! Remembering how Bradley personally plucked out his every fingernails manually and slowly. His killing intent surged up with this memories. BOOOOOM! CRACK! CRACK! "Uaaak!" Bradley''s hands cracked by Kim Shin''s heavy stomping since Bradley kept trying to remove Kim Shin foot from his face that caused of his hands to be stomped on as he wince in so much pain. "S-Stop..." Weakly uttered by Bradley who seems like regained his emotions. Hearing Bradley''s word Kim Shin stopped his foot from stomping and before Bradley heave a sigh of relief, Kim Shin once again stomped Bradley''s face. BOOOM! "Why would I stop? Who are you to order me? You''re not my mother nor my wife! phua!" Kim Shin quickly said in angry as he spat and continue pounding Bradley''s face. BOOOM! BOOOM! "UGH.. P-Please stop, I''m sorry I have eyes but I don''t recognize Mt. Tai please have mercy.." Bradley pleaded in submission as his azure energy vanished along with his Hyena''s bloodline making his form back to human. BOOM! "Ughk!" "What are you spouting? I''m not a mountain! and why should I forgive you huh?!" Kim Shin asked in annoyance and confusion as he continued stomping. "And eyes are the window of soul..." Kim Shin continued. Though he only said his previous words as a joke. The reason of his continues stomping is, he found that Bradley''s eyes didn''t have any truthfulness. He''s not sincere, he may truly harbored an ill things inside his rubbish mind. Since a person''s eyes express his true feeling. "Dam-ughk! HELP ME!" Bradley who was about to cuss was stomped by Kim Shin and loudly called out for help. "You don''t need to yell so loud, I will bring you to them!" With that words, Kim Shin grabbed Bradley''s hair as he dashed to Bradley''s party in the mid-way Kim Shin suddenly stopped and strongly tossed Bradley to his members. "Waaaaaa---" Bradley screamed out on the top of his lungs as he didn''t expect to get tossed by Kim Shin. BOOOM! "Ughhk--" With a groan, he heavily landed before his team. "B-Boss.." Uttered by Lina and Blonde-haired man beside her at the same time. They don''t know what to do now, since their boss got defeated by a demon in disguise. "H-Help me Lina.." Bradley weakly said as he struggled to reach out his fractured right hand. However, before Lina could get up. The blonde haired man beside her quickly stood up and about to help Bradley. "Ughkk!" However, a figure of human suddenly dropped on the Blonde hair man back from above. "You--" BOOM! That''s the only word that man could uttered after he got stomped on the back of his head by Kim Shin. With just one kick the blonde hair man fell unconscious or possible die. 38 Kristine ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î "P-please have mercy don''t kill us.." Bradley pleaded once more hoping he could please Kim Shin. Although it''s damaging his pride with this, he doesn''t have any choice to do for the sake of surviving. "Mercy? How about you? did you gave mercy to those you''ve violated and killed?" Kim Shin loudly retorted in anger. How could this man uttered the word mercy when himself doesn''t even know how to correctly spell the word mercy. Kim Shin''s words silenced Bradley. "Damn! Just kill me then!" Bradley screamed out furiously. Since he doesn''t have any idea how should he please Kim Shin, he just hope to die quickly. "As you wish" Kim Shin nodded as he replied and was about to move when he got a sudden idea. Smiling to himself, Kim Shin turned his look at the girl in a lavander dress Lina. "You.." "Me?" Lina asked in confusion. She didn''t know what Kim Shin''s want from her. "Hmm. You look sexy and sexy..Ahem!" Kim Shin commented as he admired Lina''s curvaceous body. However when his look landed on Lina''s face, Kim Shin faked a cough. "Youu!!" Despite of her situation. Lina couldn''t help but to be infuriated, she can''t accept to be mocked like that before her death. Lina pushed her body up and was about to shoot a fireball to Kim Shin. However Kim Shin moved quickly and lifted Lina by her neck. "If you''re not useful in my plan I won''t even take a look at you. So, behave yourself or I''ll kill you first." Kim Shin seriously said as he looked straight at Lina''s eyes. Lina who couldn''t breathe properly struggled to nod his head in agreement.

After coughing and gasping for air, Lina weakly questioned Kim Shin. "Nothing.. Just burn your teammate!" Kim Shin hate on this Party was overwhelming. Until on his deathbed he couldn''t forget the trauma he experienced with this party. A scar in his memories wouldn''t heal until he didn''t made them pay for the damage they''ve done. "W-What?!" Lina asked in disbelief. How can this man could be cruel. To let her party burn by her magic. "Do I need to repeat myself?!" Kim Shin sharply stare at Lina who''s keep asking. "I-I can''t do that..." Lina denied as she shook her head left and right. Although, she''s also cruel. She couldn''t bear to watch her own teammate dying by her magic. "I will give you a chance. Kill them and you will survive!" Kim Shin tempted Lina with a very tempting condition. "I..." Lina obviously was couldn''t believe at Kim Shin''s words. However, now that a hope for survival is shining on her, she couldn''t help but to contemplate. "Are your words true?" Still doubtful Lina asked Kim Shin in confirmation. "Do you think I have a time to joke around with you? Now, choose! You kill them and you survive or Don''t kill them and I will kill all of you.." Kim Shin said weakly. Exhaustion was starting to appear. However, Lina didn''t noticed it. "Okay, I will do it" Lina answered. "Why? Lina?" Bradley couldn''t help but to questioned Lina in desbelief. Turning her head to look at Bradley. "What do you mean, Why? It''s for survival! We''re just the same, before you used me. Now, it''s my turn to use you.. I''m sorry" ''Fireball'' Lina apologized as she shoot a burning fireball to Bradley. "AGGGHHHH.. you won''t be able to live for long Lina.. I will hunt you even in afterlife..." Bradley shouted in pain as his skin began to burn. ''Fireball!'' Lina shoot another fireball direct to Bradley and her other teammates. "AGHHHH---" After a minutes of a hell like torture, Bradley and other was eventually burned to ash. On the other hand, Kim Shin only watched without moving as he saw Bradley''s ash vanished along with the winds. "I already fulfilled your task. Now, it''s time for you to complete your promise.." Lina softly said while looking on the ashes of her old teammate. "Good job. You''re really cruel. For you to kill your own team just for your own survival is really admirable and rubbish at the same time.." Kim Shin commented. "What do you mean by that?" Lina quickly turned her head as she look and confusedly asked Kim Shin. However before she could look back, Kim Shin already swung a big axe that sliced Lina white neck. "Sorry, but that''s what I hate of all people, to kill a friend just for their own survival.." Kim Shin muttered in himself as he remembered how he died by the hands of his two best friends. ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î At the distance away from Kim Shin a party consist of 3 girls and 5 men are walking near the Massive Cathedral Hall. "Are you sure you that Bradley''s group are here?" Softly asked by the red-haired woman in lead. "Yes, Boss I''m pretty sure that Bradley''s party go this way.." It was answered by a skinny pale man clad in a fitted black clothes with a black mask covered half of his face beside the red-haired woman. CLANG! BOOOM! The ground suddenly shook as they heard an explosion from the distance. "W-What is that?" Asked by one of the girl behind the red-haired woman. "I also don''t know, let''s go quickly.." The red-haired woman replied as she urged them to quicken their pace. Reaching the black massive door, they found the source of the explosion. It was a fight with Bradley and unknown person(Kim Shin). "Is that Bradley right? But who is that other man?" The skinny pale man asked in confusion. However no one answered him as they focused on the fight. BOOOM! They were shocked at the event, Bradley was getting beaten like a chicken. Afterwards, they witness how the man killed the last member or Bradley''s party Lina. After Kim Shin killed Lina, he immediately moved his body to find a good place to take a rest since he felt the exhaustion was about to come. However, as he reached the damn massive black door he suddenly stopped when he found a new group. He knew who is them, since they are the reason that''s why they survive before from Bradley''s torture. "Kristine Avila..." 39 3rd Monster Wave ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î "What should we do now Kristine? Should we fight or escape?" Anxiously questione by the skinny pale man with a noticeable cold sweat on his forehead. "No, we''re not moving. Let him be.." The red-haired Kristine Avila seriously replied. She was sure that they won''t have a chance to win a fight with this man even with all of them. Despite the man condition, She could feel an overwhelming and suffocating aura from this man Kim Shin. On the other hand, Kim Shin began to walk once again as he made a full look at Kristine Avila party. Kristine was a tall, slender and pale woman, clad in a steel breastplate on the top of black blouse that constricting her huge breast. Her sexy body was well fit with her pretty appearance. A small pointed nose, red-fiery like eyes and a thin rosy lips and pinkish natural cheeks. Yes. Kristine Avila is the typical Campus Muse, added with her good academics and athletic body. Kristine Avila is the type of a woman that almost every young man dreamed to be in a relationship. However, it wasn''t caught Kim Shin attention. His attention were on blue steel rapier of Kristine. Even before, Kim Shin doesn''t have any idea on what grade does that Kristine rapier was. But what he know is it''s one of the artifact in Dark Hyena Forest. Walking pass Kristine''s party, Kim Shin suddenly couldn''t felt his legs and eventually his whole body as he fell on unconscious on the ground. THUD! Kristine and everyone was dumbfounded at what happened. The powerful man who annihilate Bradley''s party suddenly fell on the ground. "What just happened?" One of the girls behind Kristine asked in surprised. They didn''t know what happened to Kim Shin to suddenly collapsed. "I don''t know but, let''s check him.." Kristine said as she put her fingers on Kim Shin''s neck. However, after her fingers touched Kim Shin''s skin, Kristine suddenly yellped. "AGH!" "Leader!" "Sis!" "Kristine!" Called out in unison by her concerned party. "I''m fine don''t worry. He''s just too hot to touch, It felt like his body is boiling.." Kristine explained to them. "So what are we going to do? Are we gonna leave him here?" Questioned by the black apple-haired young girl who''s also the one who asked about what happened to Kim Shin. Kristine didn''t not answer immediately. She contemplate for a moment. Thinking the pros and cons. Eventually she reached a decision. "We will help him back in the camp.. Get a sleeping bag and put him inside.. quickly!" Kristine ordered as no one complained and the 4 silent men that always behind them immediately start to move. Suddenly the System loudly alerted everyone. Ding~ [ Congratulations! You''ve passed the Second Wave ] [ The Third Wave will be announced at later time ] [ Kill Rankings ] 1.Kristine Avila [ 1019 ] 2.Allyson Harris Lee [ 909 ] 3.Mawi [ 835 ] 4.... 5... Bradley and his party was out of the list since they are already dead. "You''re at the first now, Kristine!" Excitedly yelled by the black apple-haired girl as she raised her fist up high. "Yes you''re right.." Kristine answered half-heartedly. "What''s wrong Kristine?" The black apple-haired girl asked in worry. "Nothing, I''m fine. Let''s go.." Kristine just smiled to the young girl as she urged them to go. ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î At the Northern-east pond. A bunch of people could see eating dried ration''s while some were training and some were taking a rest after the second wave. And a simple tent in that area was Kristine''s party handmade tent from different kind of leaves. It''s almost afternoon when Kristine''s party got back on their camp with Kim Shin unconscious on the sleeping bag. "Kiarra, How''s the man we brought?" Kristine asked. Kiarra is the black apple-haired young girl. Kristine tasked her to guard Kim Shin while they''re out. "He''s seems in a bit good condition now, since he''s not hot unlike earlier that could burn a skin.." Kiarra replied with annoyance as she remember how she got a little burn.

Kiarra happily smile and quickly ran beside Kristine. ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î "Ughmm.." Kim Shin moaned in pain as he opened his eyes. Blinking his eyes for a couple of times, Kim Shin finally found that he''s inside a handmade tent while laying inside a sleeping bag. "Where am I?" Kim Shin thought confusedly as he tried to remember what had happened. "It seems like I fell unconscious because of the mental exhaustion and over fatigue." He shook his head while smiling bitterly. Fortunately, Kristine''s party is the one who found him. Otherwise if that''s other unknown party, Kim Shin might probably dead now. CRACK! "Ughhh" Kim Shin moaned as he stretched his body out and his bones cracked in stiffness. "Finally I had a good rest...Hmm" Rustle~ When he was about to stand, Kim Shin heard a footsteps outside and the tent opened up showing a short young girl dressed in a black long robe with the same color of her black apple-hair, it''s Kiarra. "Oh you''re finally awake! Are you alright now?" Kiarra asked concerndedly. "Uhm. Yes, but, who might be you?" Kim Shin answered as he asked for the name of the girl. "Oh, I''m Kiarra! Nice to meet you--" "Kim Shin!" "Oh hehe. Then nice to meet you Kim Shin." Kiarra said with a bright smile that caused Kim Shin to also smiled. "Yes, it''s my pleasure to meet you Kiarra!" Kim Shin replied with a geniune smile. Ding~ In the midst of their casual talk, the system suddenly alarmed. Click! ¡ñSystem Announcement¡ñ [ Rest is Over! The Third Wave will start now! Good Luck! ] "What? The third wave at this time?!" Uttered in shocked by Kiarra. Since it was already evening, she thought that the third wave will start tomorrow. However, she was greatly wrong about it. "KIARRA! WHERE ARE YOU?!" A loud yell echoed around seems like calling Kiarra. While on the other hand, Kim Shin just smiled on this. "Seems the hunting start once again.." 40 End of 3rd Wave ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î "Seems the hunting start once again..." Kim Shin muttered and smiled gleefully. ''It''s time to soar the ranking kills!'' He declared inside, while thinking about the reward''s item for the top ranker. "Let''s go outside, Kiarra." Kim Shin tapped the head of dazed Kiarra as he urged her to go outside. "Huh? O-Okay..." Kiarra subconsciously agreed who just woke up from the shocked of the sudden start of 3rd wave. It''s already evening, so why it starts at this time. She was anxious every time the wave began, since every hyena always much stronger at every new wave. "Don''t worry too much Kiarra..." Kim Shin comforted Kiarra when saw her feeling restless as he patted her head with a bright comforting smile he could make. "Mm. Thank you..." Looking at the bright smile of Kim Shin, Kiarra eventually calmed down as she nodded her head and thanked Kim Shin. Following behind Kiarra as they leave the tent. Kim Shin saw a bunch of people preparing for the 3rd wave and Kristine, who''re just calling out for Kiarra while fully armed. "Kiarra...and Mr.?" Kristine who''s about to talk with Kiarra was a stopped of Kim Shin''s sudden appearance. "Shin... Kim Shin." He interjected. "Ah, Mr. Kim Shin are you feeling better now?" Kristine concernedly inquired Kim Shin condition. "Yes, I''m alright now. Thank you for taking care of me, Ms?" Kim Shin gratefully replied. As, he acted, he didn''t know Kristine. Well, obviously Kim Shin didn''t know her in this lifetime. "Ah sorry. It''s Kristine Avila... and don''t worry about that anyway¡ª" BOOM! "Fire!" BOOM! However, Kristine''s word was cut in the mid-way because of the sudden explosion that hinting them the 3rd wave has come. "It seems like we don''t have time to chit-chat right now..." Kim Shin said as he turned his head at the source of explosion and smiled bitterly. "Yes you''re right. Anyway, I''m glad that you''re better now Mr. Kim Shin. However, my team need my orders, so I''ll take my leave now. Let''s go Kiarra..." Kristine also looked over the explosion, and she saw the advancing numerous black hyenas. She made a quick decision to join her group as she urged Kiarra. However, Kiarra didn''t look at her. She just focused her eyes on Kim Shin. "Uhm. Mr. Kim Shin? Can I call you big brother?" Suddenly uttered by Kiarra that surprised and puzzled him a bit. Although puzzled, Kim Shin eventually broke into a smile. "Of course, you can." He immediately agreed without hesitation as he nodded his head softly. Hearing the answer of Kim Shin. Kiarra also showed a sweet smile. "Since you''re my Big Brother now, are you going to help your cute little sister right?" Kiarra said like a sly fox as she blinked her eyes beautifully for a couple of times. "W-What are you talking about, Kiarra? Uhm. Mr. Kim Shin don''t mind her words. She''s just a kid..." On the other hand, Kristine frantically explained as she waved her both hands denying Kiarra words. She knew how powerful Kim Shin is. Since she witnessed personally how this man destroyed Bradley''s dominant party. She''s afraid to anger this man who might cause of their early death. "Mmh. Of course, I will!" However, contrast to her expectation, Kim Shin easily agreed at Kiarra wished. "Eh?!" Kristine yelped in disbelief. "Yatta! You''re the best Big Brother!" Kiarra jumped in happiness as she hugged Kim Shin. "Oh... Hahaha" He laughed in sudden hugged of Kiarra as he patted her head. In this lifetime, He''s also closed to every little girl he met. The reason was. Kim Shin has a soft heart for a little girl. Since he never had a little sister, even in the orphanage, he lived in. He didn''t have any close friend there. However, when Kim Shin got to Yggdrasil, every little girl started to cling on him that triggered his heart to seek a family''s love. "Okay. So, Let''s go?" Kim Shin looked at and asked Kiarra with a bright smile. "Mmh" Kiarra nodded her head as she gets off from hugging Kim Shin. Seeing the affirmation from Kiarra, Kim Shin turned his head to look at Kristine and seriously nodded. Kristine nodded in response and quickly ran at the source of the fight. BOOM! BOOM! Arriving behind the front guard of the wave monsters, Kim Shin saw the sea of Black Hyenas. However, as he looked carefully Kim Shin found a different color of Hyena. "Appraise" [ Poisonous Hyena Lv. 10 ] HP: 1000/1000 MP: --- SKILL: [ Poisonous Bite ] (Passive) Effect: ( Poisonous Hyena is a higher grade of Black Hyena and with stronger and poisonous fangs. they can crush human bones more easily. Additional +20% Attack Damage. 20% chance to inflict poison effect; loss -1% HP for 5 seconds.) "Poisonous Hyena..." Kim Shin muttered, and he was heard by Kristine. "What? Poisonous Hyena?" Kristine confusedly questioned Kim Shin. "Yes, they are different from the black hyena. Given its name, If you got bitten there''s 20% possibility you get poison." Kim Shin explained. "Paralysis and now poison, so what''s next after this..." Kristine couldn''t imagine what kind of effect does the monster on the next wave have. "Ugh...Help!" Screamed by someone got bitten. WHOOSH~ With a whooshing sound, a blue rapier pierced the head of the black hyena. It''s Kristine''s rapier, who instantly appeared 10-meters from her previous place. "C-captain!" The man exclaimed in surprise who just got bitten as he looked at his elegance captain who precisely saved him from the death door. Kim Shin witnessed what happened, he just saw a silver flashed and Kristine instantly appeared and slayed the pitiful Black Hyena. "She''s really fast..." He thought as he admired Kristine while inspecting the silver glowing aura around Kristine''s body as she moved around and started massacring the Hyenas. ''I think It''s time for me to join the party. I can''t lag behind!'' Kim Shin thought and he quickly pounced in the middle of the monster waves. BOOM! Woo! The unfortunate hyenas died quickly after he heavily landed on the ground while the others wailed in pain as they run back with injured bodies. WHOOSH! A whooshing sound could be heard when a huge steel battle axe out of nowhere appeared on his hand and quickly slashed to the surrounding hyenas. It''s the weapon dropped by Steve''s step-brother. BOOOOM! BOOOOOM! Kim Shin tactfully swung his huge axe around him that made every hyena pouncing on him brain splattered as they got hit by Kim Shin''s axe. "Woah? Who''s that? Look at him!" One of Kristine''s member''s saw Kim Shin''s act and hurriedly called out other''s as he pointed to them the slaughtering machine, Kim Shin. "It seems he''s on par with our Captain strength!" "No, our Captain is stronger. Can you see how quick our Captain killed those puny hyenas?!" "Yes! Our Captain is stronger!" Debate started as they watched Kim Shin and their Captain slaughtered every hyena. Afterwards, Kim Shin continued slaying monsters without taking a rest until the end of the 3rd wave.

The sun was about to rise when the 3rd wave ended and their 4th Day inside the Dark Hyena Forest. Kim Shin heaved a sighed of exhaustion as he brushed off the sweats on his forehead with his left arm. Tak! Tak! A sound of quick footsteps could be heard seems like running, turning his head to look at his back. Kim Shin saw the speeding Kiarra. "Big Brother! You were really strong earlier, and everyone was looking at you in awe..." Kiarra elatedly narrated everything she heard to Kim Shin and behind Kiarra was the always pretty despite the sweats all over her body, Kristine. "Mmh... mhh. How about you? Did you slay a lot?" Kim Shin softly questioned the talkative Kiarra, he didn''t know the reason why this little girl wanted to be so close to him. "Uh-hu... Not much. Since I could only attack those who''re on the verge of dying..." Kiarra downheartedly answered. "It''s fine, don''t worry there still have 2 more waves. So, give your best and you can increase your kills." Kim Shin comforted Kiarra as he pinched her bubbly cheeks. On the other side, Kristine watched the two acts like a real sibling and couldn''t help but to think how does it feel to have a real sibling, since she''s the only daughter of their family, she didn''t know how does it feel. Although, Kim Shin was playing with Kiarra, he could see the change on Kristine''s eyes as she watched them. "Let''s go, Kiarra. Let''s eat and have a good rest..." While playing, Kim Shin suddenly felt a grumbling of his stomach, and he realized that he didn''t eat anything since yesterday. "Mmh. Okay, Big Brother Shin!" Kiarra jovially replied at Kim Shins wanted. Walking side by side with Kiarra, Kim Shin discovered that Kiarra height was really small, it''s only before his chest. "Kiarra, how old are you now?!" Kim Shin asked curiously. Although, he knew that after the tutorial, it would be hard for them to meet again, he still wanted to get closer with this kind and bright young girl. Despite the darkness that roaming everywhere and how corrupted this world, Kiarra could still stay at her old self was a big proof that this girl is not your ordinary girl. So, having a connection with Kiarra is not bad at all. "Eh?! Didn''t you know It''s not good to ask for a girl age? It was like your asking about the color of her underwear! It''s our privacy. Hmm, I think it''s fine since it was you who''s asking. I just turned 13 last Sunday..." Kiarra keeps spouting a weird fact about girls. However, she still answered Kim Shin''s question. "Oh. You just turned 13 before the transmigration happened..." Kim Shin words started to become weak as he heard the casual talk of a man and woman. "Aiya! I really wanted to take a bathe. I haven''t taken bath for almost four days now..." The woman said in annoyance. "Yea, me too sadly we couldn''t take a bath in this pond because of the poisonous guardian under it..." The man replied as he heaved a sighed of defeat. After Kim Shin heard their topic, memories rose up from his old memories. It''s about the Guardian of the four ponds. At the 4th day of Tutorial, the four guardians of the pond will eat a bunch of human flesh in exchange for human''s shelter at every wave. ''It''s about time...'' When they reached Kristine''s party tent that was only few yards away from the pond. Kim Shin suddenly turned silent as he looked seriously in the calm green pond.

Seeing that Kim Shin suddenly got quiet, Kiarra couldn''t help to ask as she tugged Kim Shin''s right sleeves. "Big Brother, what''s wrong¡ª" BOOM! However, before she could finish her words. Kiarra was interrupted by the loud explosion from the pond as the pond water rain down on them. "Run! Faster! Don''t let yourself touch by the pond''s water!" Kim Shin quickly yelled as he hides Kiarra behind him. "Ugh!" "H-Hot!" However, even with his immediate announced. A lot of them still got hurt by those corrosive water ponds. PSH~ A drop of the corrosive water pond fell on Kim Shin shoulder that caused a small hole on his black robe. Warning! [Durability of your Blue-Eyed Black Dragon''s Robe was quickly falling down!] The system alerted Kim Shin about his black robe. ''Damn'' He cursed as he unequipped his black robe and put back into his inventory. "Big Brother, are you okay?" Kiarra asked concernedly, when Kim Shin took off his black robe. "I''m fine. It''s just a small hole it won''t affect me." Kim Shin instantly broke into sweet smile as he replied. However, deep inside he already cursed the nine generations of the Pond''s Guardian for making a hole on his robe. "Where''s Kristine?" Kim Shin questioned when he couldn''t find Kristine around. "Sis is inside the tent..." Kiarra simply answered as she pointed her fingers to the tent. "Ah. Okay." After nodding his head. Kim Shin finally focused his attention at the source of the explosion. On the middle of the pond was an enormous jade spiky clam with a violet snake like tongue inside its huge shell while screeching loudly. SKREEEE~ [ Jade Clam Venomous Snake Lv ?? ] Approximately 12 meters huge. It was truly gigantic for its size. SKREEE~ "W-What kind of Monster is that?" Stuttering asked by Kiarra as, she was dumbfounded at the creature size and looks. "You could treat that as a Field Boss Type." Kim Shin answered softly while focusing his attention at the Huge Clam. Rustle! Rustle! "What is that?!" Kristine loudly asked who just got out of the tent and discovered the giant clam. 42 Big Brother Its Coming! "What is that?!" Kristine loudly asked who just got out of the tent and discovered the giant clam. At first, she just thought someone was practicing magic. However, when her tent got corroded, she knew something was wrong. And yes, she''s right. However, she didn''t expect that it was the monster under the pond who never tried to move ever since they got here. "What happened here?!" Kristine questioned anxiously. "It''s time for it to get the food it deserves, since we use its area to keep ourselves alive." Kim Shin explained seriously to Kristine, who was shocked and confuse on what she heard. "What do you mean? That green translucent that covering us from monster wasn''t a help given by this tutorial guide or Yggdrasil God?" Utterly confused so Kristine asked Kim Shin. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. "No" Kim Shin said while shaking his head. "The God of Yggdrasil won''t be that kind to help us every time after it used its power to transfer us here? The God of Yggdrasil was probably still recuperating from that act, and the Tutorial Guide won''t ever help us. In fact, they want to kill us..." Kim Shin continued. "They?" "Hmm. Don''t tell me you just believed that we got transported in a planet where no one is living? If you''re thinking like that, then you are completely wrong. Actually, they will probably treat us like an invader..." Kim Shin continued explaining as the Jade Clam Venomous Snake started to hunt for its food. SCREECH~ BOOOOM! "Uwaaa... H-Help, NOOO!!!" Cried out by a man who unfortunately got swallowed by the swift snake tongue of the monster. Ssi~ "Let''s talk later. We need to kill that monster or else. It will never stop until it got full..." Kim Shin immediately said to Kristine, who''s focusing intently on his explanations. Hearing Kim Shin''s words, Kristine deeply nodded her head in understanding. WHOOSH! "B-Big Brother, it''s coming! Kyaaaaa!" Kiarra immediately informed Kim Shin as she cried in fear. "Don''t worry, nothing will happen in you." Kim Shin comforted Kiarra and quickly prepared for the attack as he positioned his battle axe. WHOOSH Focused looking at the incoming attack, Kim Shin positioned his battle axe blade at his right side on the ground while opening his feet widely and slightly bended his knees. Beside him where Kristine who''s anxiously clenching her rapier. And a few feet behind him were Kiarra, who''s shaking from fear. WHOOSH! The snake tongue of the clam sped through air as it flashed directly to Kim Shin position. When the snake tongue was about assault him, Kim suddenly swung his axe upwards that made a ''BAM! Sound when it collided. BOOOOM! Kim was forced to move backwards despite how he successfully parried it. "Big Brother!!" Yelled out by Kiarra when she saw, Kim Shin got pushed back a few yards away. BOOM! WHOOSH! BOOM! While Kim Shin was pushed back, Kristine didn''t idle. She immediately moved and tried to cut the few meters long snake tongues of the clam monster. However; her attack only pierced a few centimeters deep. "So hard!" Kristine exclaimed in surprised. WHOOOSH The venomous snake tongue of the monster furiously slammed to Kristine after it got poked by Kristine''s rapier. BAM! ''It''s also fast!'' Fortunately, Kristine was also a speed type and successfully defended herself. However, she still got blown away by the heavy slam. BOOM! SCREECH! A heavy blow was inflicted on the Jade Clam Venomous Snake as it screeched in pain after Kim Shin strongly punches its long tongue. "You son of a b*tch!" Kim Shin cursed as he threw a bunch of powerful blow in the snake tongue after he unequipped his axe. Since he''s not comfortable to use an axe, he decided to fight unarmed. SWISH~ Kim Shin also activated his pseudo dragon body that covered his both fists by black scales and made his fingernails turned to claws of a dragon. BOOM! SCREECH! BOOM! Every punch of Kim Shin was answered by a screeching in pain of the giant clam. He couldn''t appraise the monster, but he can see the monster''s HP. So, Kim Shin decided not to think too much and just beat this monster to pulp. BOOM! Finally out of patience, the venomous snake tongue of the monster suddenly flashed back to its clam shell. "Kristine, escape with Kiarra and other first. I think it''s about to shoot a bunch of corrosive water. Don''t worry about me." Kim Shin immediately ordered as he saw the action of Giant Clam. "But¡ª" Kiarra was about to protest. However, Kristine was too quick for her, and she was grabbed by Kristine. "Uwaaa! Don''t you dare to die Big Brother?" Loudly yelled by Kiarra as they ran. "Haha. I won''t, since I still have a lot to do..." Kim Shin replied out loud. However, his voice turned weaker by the end of his words. Glug! Glug! The water of the pond started to lessen. Kim Shin was right. The Giant Clam was using its giant snake to suck the corrosive water pond. ''I might get naked if I didn''t dodge this carefully'' Kim Shin couldn''t help but to think about what happened before. When a lot people died after being washed by the corrosive water. However, since he''s not gonna die by just corrosive effect of this water. Kim Shin was afraid to fight naked. WHOOSH! With fast movements, Kristine instantly appeared beside Kim Shin. "What are you doing here?" Kim Shin confusedly asked. Since he already tells them that to hide first. "Of course. I''m going to fight. I won''t let you have all the experience points and rare items." Smugly replied by Kristine with a look saying ''I know what are you planning''. "Huh. Okay, don''t blame me later if you get naked." Kim Shin answered in surrender as he raised his hands. "W-What do you mean naked?!" Kristine was jolted at Kim Shin''s words as she crossed her hands on her body. "Hais. What a scary mind of girls..." 43 Pearl of Protection "Hais. Girl minds are really frightening..." Kim Shin muttered and sighed in defeat. "Hey! Answer me!" Kristine yelled in demand. BOOM! TREMBLE! TREMBLE! The ground started trembling as the Giant Clam strongly sucked a lot of corrosive water. "It''s coming! You can still run now..." Kim Shin advised as he looked at Kristine whose frowning while balancing her footings. WHOOOSH! However, Kristine didn''t get to reply because the impatience and furious Giant Clam began to shoot its whirl blast corrosive water directed to their position. "Dodge!" Kim Shin shouted loudly to alert Kristine as he moved and jump rightwards to avoid the acid water. BOOM! SPLASH! PSH~ Explosion reverberated when the twirling blast of corrosive water of Giant Clam missed as it blasted and corroded the ground that made a huge smoke. "Hoh, that''s scary!" Kim Shin commented when he saw the effect of the corrosive whirl blast. Looking at the Health Points of the Giant Clam, they only inflicted 8% damage of its total health points. "So, what''s your plan?" Kristine asked, hoping that Kim Shin had any good plan to beat the monster easily. However, contrast to her hope. Kim Shin doesn''t have any idea. Since he''s belonged to those luckily avoided fighting the guardian of ponds. "I''m sorry to disappoint you, but I also don''t have any plan. That''s why I advised you earlier to run¡­" Kim Shin admitted while shrugging his shoulders. "You¡ª" Kristine couldn''t help but to be infuriated when she heard the irresponsible answer of Kim Shin as she sighed and slumped her shoulders in defeat. WHOOSH! "Watch out, stop idling. Since your fast, play first with its tongue, can you handle it?" He quickly instructed Kristine, who immediately nodded in response after he dodged the attack of the Giant Clam. BOOM! The attack exploded once more on the ground at Kim Shin''s previous place. "I will do it. How about you? What are you going to do?" Kristine inquired since she''s curious about Kim Shin''s plan. "Are you idiot? Of course, I''m going to beat its shell to pieces." Kim Shin replied as he raised his chin up and stretched his fingers. "You''re the one who''s idiot! I hope your hands become cripple. Grrr¡­" Kristine grumbled in irritation and with a swift move, she left fading silver aura as she rushed into the front of Giant Clam before the pond. "You d*ck sh*t! I''m here!" Out of a sudden, Kristine started cursing and screaming, expecting to get the Giant Clam attention. On the other hand, Kim Shin felt as if someone hit the back of his head after he heard the outburst of Kristine that seems out of character. "Is that girl, always like that?" Kim Shin was dumbfounded as he muttered at lost. Shrugging his mind out of that thinking, Kim Shin focused all his attention at the Giant Clam, who''s already assaulting Kristine. BOOM! BOOM! Kristine Avila skillfully avoided all the attacks that the Giant Clam shot as it blasted and caused the ground of area where Kristine previously standing turned into ruined. Thick smoke filled the area where the corrosive water landed that covered Kristine Avila. "Now, Now, what should I do? Hmm¡­" BOOM! Another explosion occurred seems like Kristine really got the aggro of the Giant Clam. "Ha-ha. Even a monster got enraged at the sharp tongue of that girl..." Kim Shin awkwardly laughed feeling sorry for the Giant Clam for facing a kind of girl like Kristine. "I couldn''t just walk this acid pond. Well, I guess I only have a single choice." He mumbled as he bent his knees a bit and strongly pushed his feet on the ground. BOOM! The ground instantaneously collapsed as he jumped high and with another ''BOOM'' he heavily dropped above the shell of Giant Clam where there''s no sharp torn that could pierce him. SCREECH! The Giant Clam screeched furiously as it tried to slap Kim Shin away. However, all its attempt was futile. It can''t throw Kim Shin away who''s digging his claws on the thorny jade-colored shell of clam. Without further ado, Kim Shin began to throw punches that made the furious giant clam hysterically swung its snake-like tongue. BOOM! BOOM! A loud booming resounds as he continuously threw powerful punches. SCREEEEEEEECH! The giant clam made a deafening screech that hurt Kim Shin ears. OVERLIMIT! "You damn b*tch!" He cursed after he activated his legendary grade skill over limit. BOOM! Abilities more than a hundred, Kim Shin''s punches started to get stronger, with pseudo dragon body and Over Limit. His damaged greatly increased that caused a noticeable cracked on the thorny shell of the giant clam. BOOM! CRACK~ A huge cracked was inflicted on the shell that caused the giant clam to screeched in pain as it suddenly ran around the pond. ''Oh sh*t!'' Kim Shin cussed as he hold on one of the thorns of the clam shell. SPLASH! SPLASH! "Stop, you damn sea food!" He darned and immediately throws a powerful punches. BOOM! CRACK ! BOOM! CRACK ! SCREECH~ The cracked started to get deeper and bigger. However, when Kim Shin''s was about to blow another attack again. The giant clam was suddenly dove deeper into the pond. "F*ck!" SPLASH~ Kristine who''s watching the fight was gaped in shocked when she witnessed Kim Shin dove deep in the pond with the Giant Clam. "How should I explain this to kiarra if something bad happen to Kim Shin.." Kristine anxiously wait for the giant clam and Kim Shin to get out of the corrosive pond. BOOOM! A loud boom reverberated as the pond shook. BOOOM! SCREEEEECH! A deafening and long screeched resound as the pond water began to get lower. Afterwards, after the pond gone a 20 meter round and approximately 50 feet deep hole appeared. "What just happened?" Kristine thought as she slowly walked at the edge of the big hole, and when she looked at the middle of the deserted pond, she saw the completely fine Kim Shin standing with a shining green big pearl on his hand.

Kristine who quickly appeared behind Kim Shin questioned in puzzlement. "Hmm. This? Look for yourself!" Kim Shin was startled a bit by Kristine sudden appearance as he casually replied and tossed the green pearl to Kristine. "Huh? What do you mean? I know it''s a green pearl¡­" Kristine was baffled by Kim Shin''s words as she caught the green pearl. "Shut up, just thought appraise word as you look at the pearl.." Annoyed by Kristine''s questions, Kim Shin raised his voice as he instructed Kristine who''s looking at him weirdly. Kristine was taken aback by the sudden raised of Kim Shin''s voice. She didn''t know what she had done to upset this demon in disguise. She also felt weird because this is the first time she encountered a man that treated her poorly. Since, she was a kid, nobody tried to treat her like how Kim Shin converse with her. Everywhere she was, lots of guy will do anything just to get her attention and affection. Except with her appearance and academics, Kristine was also from a prominent family. So, never in her whole life that someone treated her like Kim Shin. ''Seems like, he wants me to leave him alone.'' Kristine thought while still looking at Kim Shin. "What are you looking?" Kim Shin irritatedly asked with annoyed expression. "N-Nothing¡­" Kristine stuttering denied, afraid to anger Kim Shin more. The reason why Kim Shin is upset was the dropped item of the Giant Clam. He''s pissed off since he fought a battle naked underwater and only got a bunch of experience points and a limited use item that not valuable for him. That''s right, after the Giant Clam dragged Kim Shin underwater. He immediately unequipped all his items so they won''t get destroyed. However after all his effort he didn''t get even a single good item. Phew! Kim Shin heaved a sighed of defeat. While Kim Shin was silently cursing, Kristine on the other hand began to appraise the green pearl on her hand. "Whoa. The information popped out.." Kristine yelped in surprised. Astonishment was displayed at her pretty face. "This item could be replaced for the lost of the pond guardian!" She exclaimed in disbelief, she thought that after killing the pond guardian, it will be hard for them to survive the next waves. "Yea, yeah. Let''s go, I already want to eat and take a long rest." Kim Shin casually said as he quickly jumped out of the deep hole. "Wait for me¡ª" Kristine was about to follow when suddenly the ground start shaking. SHAKE! TREMBLE! Kim Shin frowned at the sudden earthquake. He doesn''t remember anything about the earthquake at this time. "W-what''s happening?" Kristine questioned whose butt on the ground because she slipped when the earthquake began when she''s about to jump. The earthquake continued for a few minutes and eventually stopped. "Hey, do you have any idea at what just happened?" Kristine immediately asked when she finally got out of the deep hole. "I don''t. But I''m sure we will be informed at any moment about the earlier event." Kim Shin seriously answered while still frowning. Ding! Indeed, Kim Shin was right, after his words, the system suddenly alerted them. CLICK! Clicking the notification, a few words that surprised Kim Shin and puzzled Kristine showed before their eyes.

You will be informed about what to do next at later time] The system responded after he applied for the event. "Did you apply in that hidden event?" Kristine softly asked since she knew that Kim Shin already killed someone which Kim Shin answered with a single nod. "It seems like I couldn''t accompany your team any longer. I need to join this event." Kim Shin apologetically said. "How about Kiarra? Are you going to inform her?" Kristine continued to ask. Because, it''s Kiarra who wished her to help Kim Shin, and if she got back without Kim Shin. Kiarra will certainly get mad at her. "I''ll personally tell her that I''m leaving but I won''t inform her about my plan. So, please hide it for me.." Kim shin sincerely answered as he asked for favor. Knowing that if Kiarra found out about his plan to join the Killer Tower. He was certain that the litter girl will try to stop him from his plan. "Okay. How about this Pearl of Protection?" Kristine inquired as she showed to Kim Shin the green pearl on her hand. "You could take that, just promise to protect Kiarra." He kindly gifted the pearl. Since, it doesn''t have any use for him. "You don''t need to tell me that. Also I won''t thank you for this since I also help you to defeat the pond guardian¡­" Kristine strongly pointed. 45 Take care and Thank You, Kim Shin After killing the Jade Clam Venomous Snake, Kiarra and others began to come back at their previous location near the pond which is already just a deep hole now. Kim Shin and Kiarra could be found sitting on the ground facing each other, inside the new built handmade tent. Since, their previous tent had been destroyed by the Guardian of Pond. "Big Brother, do you really need to leave?!" Weakly asked by Kiarra that obviously downhearted at Kim Shin''s plan. She couldn''t help but to be sad at the thought of Kim Shin''s leaving her. Although, it''s not that long when they got to know each other, there''s something inside her that she felt like, she already knew Kim Shin before they met. That if she let Kim Shin leave, it will be long a long time, before they could see each other again. In that line of thinking, Kiarra tears unknowingly fell from the corner of her eyes to her round cheeks and chin as it slowly dropped on the ground. "K-Kiarra¡­" Kim Shin was stupefied as he stuttered when he called out her name. He couldn''t understand what running at the little girl mind who suddenly started crying. Also he felt a sting in his heart while watching Kiarra sobbing. "I''m sorry Kiarra¡­" He could only apologize. Since, he didn''t know what to say. He never expected that Kiarra will shed for him whom she didn''t know that much. Although, unbeknownst to himself that he''s also sad to part with Kiarra. "Sob, sob¡­" Kiarra continued to sob as if she didn''t hear Kim Shin''s words of apologizing. She doesn''t know what''s happening to herself, why she''s crying to this man, who she just met. Amidst of her crying, a big hand suddenly grabbed her shoulders as she bumped on the wide chest and felt a warm hugged. As if, someone that very closed to her heart hugged her with full of affection. It was Kim Shin. Kim Shin who couldn''t understand what''s happening and don''t know what to do, could only give Kiarra a warm hugged. Since, this is the thing he always do to his wife when they had argument which truly effective. ''When someone is crying in front of you, give him or her, a hugged as you console that person. If that person is mad, don''t talk. Let that person spat all his or her problem. After that, when this person began to calm down, you could continue to comfort him or her once again and always be patience. '' That''s what he learned from the Orphanage owner where he lived before. "B-Big Brother?" "Shh. I''m sorry Kiarra if I need to leave¡­ I''ll promise, if we didn''t meet after the tutorial. I will do anything to find you again¡­" Kim Shin seriously promised while still softly tapping the little girl back, to ease her worries. "No, Brother. It''s me who''s just overreacting. Don''t worry about me." Kiarra got off Kim Shin''s arms as she wiped away her tears with her hands and replied with a sweet smile that stunned Kim Shin. "Kiarra¡­" Kim Shin mumbled and also made a genuine smile in response at the little girl smile as he gently tapped Kiarra''s head which made the little girl giggled. "But¡ª" Kiarra abruptly said. "Hmm?" "I want you to promise me that you''re not going and doing something dangerous, how could you find me again if you die early?"

"O-of course, I won''t!" Kim Shin stuttered when he replied as he imagined wiping his cold sweat. ''Is this what you called girl''s instinct? Accurate as f*ck'' He cussed in his mind. "Hmm¡­" Hearing the answer from Kim Shin, Kiarra doubtfully glared at her big bother which made Kim Shin felt terrified. "¡­" "Okay, I believe in you Big Brother." Eventually, Kiarra took off her assessing and terrifying eyes from Kim Shin as she smiled. Whew~ Kim Shin finally heaved a sighed in relief. It''s more horrifying than a legendary monster glared. "Hehehe¡­ Of course, I''m your Big Brother eh! So, let''s eat?" Kim Shin awkwardly smiled and laughed as he quickly changed the topic which immediately replied with a nod from Kiarra. Afterwards, while they are eating the System suddenly alerted Kim Shin. Ding! [To all the participant of Beginners Killer''s Tower in this batch please go at the middle of the Dark Hyena Forest before sunrise. You could found there a portal to enter the Beginners Killer''s Tower. More info will come after you enter the Tower. -Minsk] Information about the participants of Killer''s Tower appeared before his eyes. "What''s wrong Big Brother?" Kiarra concernedly called Kim Shin''s who''s suddenly turned silent as he read the new informations. "Hmm. It''s nothing¡­" He hurriedly withdrew his eyes from the System''s window as he smiled at Kiarra and continued eating. "Okay¡­" Kiarra looked weirdly at Kim Shin before going back to her food. --------------------------------------- 3 am in the morning. Outside of Kristine''s Party Tent, Kim Shin could be found pacing back and forth. Kim Shin was already awake and prepared to leave. However he couldn''t decide on what to do. He was torn between waking Kiarra up before leaving or just silently left. Actually, his already prepared to go one hour ago. He was literally couldn''t decide, when suddenly a rustling sound could be heard behind him. Rustle! Rustle~ The tent was opened up and a red haired woman appeared. It was Kristine who have annoyed expression on her face. "How long are you gonna keep pacing back and forth here?" Kristine uttered in annoyance. She''s been watching Kim Shin for a full hour. "Oh! Kristine, sorry if waked you up.." He apologized. "Sorry? Hais, what''s the problem?" Kristine could only sigh at Kim Shin simple answered as she inquired his problem. "Nothing, I already made a decision. Please tell Kiarra that I''m happy to meet her and you guys of course." "And I''ll promise to find her in Yggdrasil. Please tell it to Kiarra, and thank you again for all your help Kristine. Especially for taking care of me when I collapsed. Thank you so much, I will take my leave now." Kim Shin said as he thanked Kristine with a deep vow and quickly left without waiting for Kristine''s reply. He immediately left because he couldn''t waste more time now, he still have a lot of job to do. Wasting a precious time could make his enemies stronger than him if he continued idling. ''I''m sorry, I still need to do a lot of things and I can''t protect you right now. I need to get stronger quickly.'' Kim Shin''s thought as he fades away in the deep forest. On the other hand, Kristine just watched Kim Shin leave and mumbled after Kim Shin''s figure completely disappeared. "Take care and Thank you, Kim Shin¡­" 46 Killers Tower - I Arriving at the middle of Dark Hyena Forest which is above the underground ruins where he fought and slaughtered Bradley''s party. Traversing the tall grasses, Kim Shin eventually reached the supposedly ruins. However what he found was a round flat surface with a red torri gate on the middle of it. It was like a gate of a shrine. Surprisingly or unsurprisingly no one could be found around or maybe they already got inside the torri gate. ''It seems like no one in this batch want to participate in this event or maybe I''m too early'' He didn''t know the real reason why he''s the only one here. So, without anything to do he approached the red torri gate. Then, in the middle of the torri gate was black water like portal. Seems like if, someone walked through that they will end up in a Hell like place. Well, maybe it was right that it''s really a hell. Since, it''s the door way to the Beginner''s Killer''s Tower. Phew! "Let''s do this!" After encouraging himself, Kim Shin calmly walked through the red torri gate. Shing! Blinding light pierced his sight that made him closed his eyes as he raised his left arm to covered his eyes. Shua! Shua! After a few moments, Kim Shin opened his closed eyes and found himself in a round shape place that dimly lighted by a few flickering torch placed on the dark blue polished wall. The round room was approximately 20-meters big. It was too spacious for him alone. Then, suddenly out of nowhere a red ball of light appeared before him and didn''t take long as it fades away leaving a small red winged creature dressed in a gray tuxedo. It was Minsk the Imp, Tutorial Guide who he first saw before they transferred in Dark Hyena Forest. "Welcome participant Kim Shin, Sorry if I surprise¡ª" Minsk who''s about to apologized at his sudden appearance was abruptly stopped. Contrast to his expectation he didn''t surprise Kim Shin who''s actually glaring at him. Kim Shin frowned as he glared at the little Imp, since this devilish creature appeared he knew there''s something bad bound to happen. "Oh, you don''t look surprised at all." The little imp spoke to Kim Shin with a hint of surprised at his childish voice. ''He''s different'' Minsk commented in his mind. It was uncommon to see a reaction like this to a human, especially if they are in the presence of someone like Minsk who could kill without hesitation. On the other hand, Kim Shin kept silent at the imp words. "Okay, don''t be like that I won''t do anything bad to you. I''m here just to brief you about the Killer''s Tower Event." The little imp said in a surrender tone of voice as he saw Kim Shin serious expression. Eventually, Kim Shin relaxed himself a bit but he didn''t let his guard down, incase this demon do something weird. "Well, okay. Seems like you''re the only participant in your batch huh?" Minsk commented. "Let''s make it quick, currently you are the 10205th participant of the Beginner''s Killer Tower" At Minsk words, Kim Shin couldn''t help but to frowned and made a confused expression. "What do you mean by that?" "What I mean is there''s already 10204 participants came here before you, and they''re already climbing the tower as they killing each other." "What? I don''t understand." "Stop asking me a question, let me explain it first." Minsk said which answered by Kim Shin with a simple nod. "First, The Beginner''s Killer Tower have a 10 floor, after this you will be teleported at the 1st floor of the tower, all you need to do is climb the last floor and you will get the only precious prize of the tower. Of course, it will become boring if it doesn''t have a spicy thrill. To climb the next floor you need a required amount of Killed Points, at first floor you need 10 KP to advance at the second floor, next is 100 KP to advance at the 3rd floor, after you reached the 3rd floor you need another 100 KP every time you want to advance a floor." "KP could earn by killing other participants. Also, at first floor you could only obtain one KP every time you kill and the KP you could obtain will be doubled every time you advance a floor level." Minsk patiently explained to Kim Shin who''s seriously listening at every word he uttered. "And don''t worry too much about the other participants they only came early before you." Minsk added. On the other hand, after Kim Shin heard the explanation of the little imp, he finally realized why this event called a Killer''s Tower, it''s basically for all murderers and who enjoyed killing. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. At first, Kim Shin was hesitant to kill without a reason, since he have his dignity and it''s against to his conscience. However, he remembered that in this event everyone is a murderer. So, he doesn''t need to worry about killing anyone inside the tower. Yes, Kim Shin may knew this event beforehand, but no one really explained to him about what''s happened inside the tower since there''s only a single person who survived in this tower and that person became one of the powerful figures in Ygddrasil Mainland. And he needs to prepare to face that person. "So, are you ready to go? If you want to go back I will give you a last chance to quit." Minsk concernedly asked which Kim Shin took as a mock. BOOM! Baleful aura blasted out of Kim Shin''s body. As he, target Minsk with his killing intent that caused the little Imp jolted in surprised. SwISH~ However, with just a wave of Minsk little hand. The killing intent of Kim Shin dispersed quickly. "Sorry if I offended you. Since I always asked this to every participant. You don''t need to get angry I will transfer you now. Good luck." Minsk calmly spoke as he wave his hand at Kim Shin direction and a blinding white light covered Kim Shin and vanished with it. "Hooh. That''s really a terrifying guy.." Minsk heaved a sighed in relief after he transferred Kim Shin as he felt a cold sweat at his back. 47 Killers Tower - II As the white light that covered him fades away, a horizontal slashing sword coming towards his neck which he easily avoided it with a duck and side steps to left to dodge the upward sword''s strike. "Hoh, seems like my first prey is a capable man eh?" Kim Shin''s assaulter said in amazement with a smirked after his attacks didn''t even surprise or scratch Kim Shin. Looking at his attacker, it was well-build dark brown man at his mid-prime of his age, with a look of a typical criminal because of those big scars on his flat nose and bushy left eyebrow. Dressed in black iron armor and armed with a one-handed long sword. Kim Shin''s already expected this so it doesn''t surprise him at all. Since, there''s already a lot of participants came before him. It will be natural to appeared with someone already camping for new comers like him. So, his attacker''s kind of tricks was a trick that could only be effective to kids. "Hmm, silent type pokemo¡ª" The assaulter was about to comment at Kim Shin''s quietness. However Kim Shin didn''t give him more time. He quickly pushed his feet and pounced; instantly appeared before the man and with right punch to its face ''BOOM'' the man with a criminal face blasted to pieces like a broken watermelon.

[You''ve obtained 1 Killed Point] And the System notified him that he gained one KP for killing the man as the man body fell on the ground followed up by clanking sound of the sword that also fell on the ground beside its dead owner. Approaching the man body, Kim Shin suddenly realized that the man''s body didn''t gone like what always happened after killing a person in Dark Hyena Forest. "That''s right! I''m not in Dark Hyena Forest anymore. If that''s the case¡­Hehehe" Kim Shin broke into creepy smile as he laughed evilly with the thought of using his Class Specific Skill ''Soul Cleave''. Then, Kim Shin stretched his right hand on the deceased body of the man. "Soul Cleave!" As he activated the skill that symbolizing of him as a death priest, a dark violet aura appeared on his right hand. At first the dark violet aura did only covered his right hands. However, after few seconds it jumped on the man as it covered the man''s whole body. Kim Shin watched it intently and focused, since it''s the first time he used this skill. Shua! Shua! A small round black light appeared out of the man''s body and flashed, piercing Kim Shin''s temple that surprised him. ''Ugh!'' He couldn''t stop himself but wince in pain that quickly fades away. "Huh?" Kim Shin made a confused expression. He doesn''t feel anything new. "Did I fail?" He questioned himself as he looked at the Mortiss pendant on his chest. When the black light pierced his temple he felt a throbbing pain that quickly disappeared after he felt a warm feeling from the Mortiss Pendant. ''Seems that black light was the negative energy of the man which sucked by the pendant.'' [Mortiss Pendant] Grade: Special Effects: ¡ñ All the accumulated negative emotions will be sucked by this pendant. (1/1000) ¡ñ Additional + 20 Luck ¡ö Awarded with a title ''Mortiss'' to the Follower of Sovereign of Death. Checking the pendant he saw that there''s already one accumulated negative emotion listed on it. "So I succeeded, but I failed to get any knowledge or skill about the man?" So, Kim Shin opened his System and look for his current stats. Since, he also have a passive class-specific skills that every time he soul cleaved a deceased body of human or monsters he will get additional 0.5 to all his base stats. [Name: Kim Shin] [Age: 19] [Level: 17] [Title: One Who... | Chosen One] [Job Class: Death Priest] HP: 5550/5550 MP: 2550/2550 Strength: 49.5 (39.5+10) Dexterity: 35.5 (25.5+10) Agility: 57.5 (47.5+10) Constitution: 55.5 (35.5+10+10) Intelligence: 25.5 (15.5+10) Available stat points: = 12 And there he found the additional .5 to his base stats. Although it was only a little add to his stats, this little value will be significant sooner or later. And he still have 12 free allocation points after he leveled up twice after killing Herculean Undead Minotaur and another 2 level after killing Jade Clam Venomous Snake. Contemplating for a moment Kim Shin eventually put 6 points on Strength and another 6 points on his Agility. Strength: 55.5 (45.5+10) Dexterity: 35.5 (25.5+10) Agility: 63.5 (53.5+10) Constitution: 55.5 (35.5+10+10) Intelligence: 25.5 (15.5+10) That''s the current stats of Kim Shin and without the King Olazusk Fury Bracer. Since it''s too eye catching to wear. Then, after he checked and fixed his stats, Kim Shin finally got to look around his surroundings the place was also lighted by torch on the dark green polished wall. He was in a wide square room with a door at the distance opposite of him. After checking the surroundings, Kim Shin didn''t forget to pick everything the man had in his body. A black iron armor which no use for him and a one-handed steel long sword. Putting away the black iron armor, he then appraised the long sword [Steel longsword] Grade: Common Type: One Handed Sword Additional + 60 Attack Damage Additional + 2 Strength "Haist. Trash weapon." Kim Shin sighed in disappointment after he saw the information of the longs word. However, he still equipped it. Since he don''t have a weapon to use after his black iron sword got broken in half when he fought Bradley. It''s true that he have a battle ax but it''s more comfortable to fight with a sword. After equipping the sword, Kim Shin finally walked out of the room. However as he just left the door, a sharp wind sped through him that he cut by vertical slashed of his sword. "Tsk." Tap! Tap! A sound of clicking tongue could be heard after Kim Shin cut the sharp wind in half and hurried footsteps resound. Looking at the direction where the wind came from, Kim Shin found a running person clad in a robe, seems like distancing itself from Kim Shin. However, contrast to his assaulter''s imagination; Kim Shin instantly appeared at his back with quick dash and with a ''Puchi'' sound he pierced the back of the person in robe that also pierced the person''s heart. "Ugh" Fresh blood drooled out of the person''s mouth as it groaned in pain and slowly fell, face on the ground. Ding! [You''ve obtained 1 Killed Point] He gained another KP after killing. "Eight more, but I don''t know yet the path to 2nd Floor." Kim Shin murmured as he was about to turn the body of the person he just killed since he was curious at his attacker. However a swift arrow was coming toward his back, so without hesitation he activated his Pseudo Dragon body and caught the flying arrow. "What?!" A voice of man uttered in shocked as he witnessed Kim Shin catching his quick arrow. 48 Killers Tower - III "Eight more, but I don''t know yet the path to 2nd Floor." Kim Shin murmured as he was about to turn the body of the person he just killed since he was curious at his attacker. However a swift arrow was coming toward his back, so without hesitation he activated his Pseudo Dragon body that covered his hand by black scales and caught the flying arrow. "What?!" A voice of man uttered in shocked as he witnessed Kim Shin hand change into black scales and catching his quick arrow. SNAP! Kim Shin looked straight at the man who shot the sharp steel arrow as he clenched his hands into fist that broken the arrow in half. The man with a wooden green short bow, clad in dark brown leather armor with an animal pelt on it and wore a green cowboy hat on his head, shuddered as his eyes connected with Kim Shin. He felt like hell was eyeing him. ''Green hat? How unfortunate man." Kim Shin couldn''t help but to giggled when he saw the green hat on the man''s head and immediately advance towards the man who''s about to escape. WHOOSH! ''Damn curse those damned people.'' The man grumbled inside his mind as he run. Actually, he doesn''t have any intention to join this Killer''s Event. He was forced to escape here because he was being hunted for accusation that he raped the woman of their party leader, which isn''t true at all. Although he really killed a person before, he was always been loyal to his team leader. Since his team leader is the person who saved his life when he almost died at the first day on transmigration. So, with nowhere to hide, he chose to apply in this event hoping to survive until the tutorial end. However, it was a false hope. He just got in and already encountered a demon in disguise. He really waited for Kim Shin to let down his guards before he shot the arrow. But unfortunately heaven didn''t smile on him this time. He failed to sneak an attack and now his running for his dearest life. ''Sh*t'' He cussed when he sense the fast approaching demon in disguise behind him. Kim Shin who was following behind the man suddenly increased his speed and leaped with an intention to pierce the man''s heart. However, the man skillfully or just lucky to dodged Kim Shin assaults who rolled on the ground. Indeed, the man just got lucky at that time. Since he was observing Kim Shin carefully and didn''t watch his footsteps that caused him to stumbled and rolled on the ground which saved his life. Whoosh! Kim Shin black robed flapped wildly as he missed his target. Quickly turning back his head a steel arrow was already flashing towards his head. While on the other hand, the man hoped to kill Kim Shin this time with a close distance it will be impossible to accurately dodge his arrow. CLANK! However, another false hope occurred as Kim Shin skillfully parried it with his long sword. ''Damn!'' The man darned as his expression turned grim and shoot a glowing red arrow. Whoosh! ''Hoh, he could activate skill at this distance, isn''t he afraid to also get blasted with his own skills?'' Kim Shin thought as he decided to avoid the incoming arrow, since it was a skill attack he was certain that it have considerable attack damage. He dodged the red arrow when it was about to hit him just by tilting his head on the right side. However when the arrow was about pass him, it suddenly stopped. BOOM! It loudly exploded behind him that caused a weak tremor on the ground and a big smoke that covered him. "Haha. I finally got you." The man laughed hysterically like possessed when he thought he already killed Kim Shin.

However another false hope again, when the smoke fades away, Kim Shin was still standing there in crossed arms position. "What?!" The man gaped with a bewildered expression on his face. He couldn''t believe that after using his trump card that always killed his target was now didn''t even make his target groan in pain. Slowly put down his arms, Kim Shin furiously glared at the man. BOOM! Killing intent leaked out as it swayed around his body. Kim Shin was infuriated at the man surprising skill. Considering the large amount of soul points needed to buy a single skill, he didn''t expect to encounter a skilled one at this early. On the other hand, the man who was targeted by Kim Shin''s killing intent; felt like death itself was glaring at him as he saw a figure of death reaper behind Kim Shin. WHOOSH! While still upset, Kim Shin swiftly advance forward with a leaped, he appeared behind the shivering man. And with a loud ''BOOM'' Kim Shin threw a mighty left punched towards the man''s head which timely defended with a wooden green bow. BAM! BAM! With a powerful impact, the man flew and rolled on the ground for a couple of times before it stopped. Cough! Cough! ''Damn! He''s too strong for me. I''m probably at my way on after life now if I didn''t parried his blow.'' The man thought fearfully after he coughed a mouthful of blood. "Tsk." Kim Shin was seriously starting to be annoyed at this tenacious man, who inflicts damage on his already impaired black robe. Kim Shin then was about to move. However, the man suddenly surrendered as it prostrated on the ground. "W¡ªWait, please don''t kill me, I''m begging you. I don''t want to fight anymore." The man spoke hurriedly, afraid that Kim Shin killed him before he got finished his plead. "Do you really think you will survive in this event if you surrendered? No! no one could get out of this place. So, If I were you, I will study how to cherish life in my next life." After saying his words of wisdom, Kim Shin then dashed to the man on the ground who''s about to run again. Sadly, this time around Kim Shin didn''t let him escape now. Puchi! His long sword pierced through the neck of the man, whose eyes were widely open. Thud! [You''ve obtained 1 Killed Point] As the dead man fell on the ground, a blazing fireball tried to sneak behind him. WHOOSH! Nevertheless, Kim Shin smoothly dodged it with his high agility and predictable shot, it was a pieced of cake for him. ''Seems like I couldn''t have a relaxing time eh?'' Kim Shin thought while calmly dodging the thorny black whip that quickly approaching him. ''Ganging up on me'' Kim Shin scoffed at that thought. 50 Killers Tower - V "Shoot, your most powerful attack at Ara." Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Kim Shin strongly commanded, as his eyes glowed, which quickly followed by Lyra with the same glowing eyes of Kim Shin. Ara slowly positioned her staff at Kim Shin''s back, which certainly at Ara''s location. "With my fire, Incinerate everything in my path..." Lyra slowly chanted, and a red magic circle appeared before her staff that made her hair swayed with the wind. "Lyra, Stop! What are you doing?!" Anxiously yelled by Ara, whose confusedly questioned herself about what happened to her friend. "...FIRE STORM!" At Lyra''s declaration, a 3-meters twirling pillar of fire descended on Ara''s place that caused a big explosion as it burns everything around it. BOOOOOOOM! "Kyaaah!" Ara''s agonizing cry could be heard, as her voice getting weaker at the same time, the pillar of fire died down. The fire lasted for 5 seconds, and so Ara was burned inside for 5 seconds. On the distance around where the explosions occurred, the other participants asked themselves at what happened. "What was that?" "Seems like there''s a battle over there..." And then they began to run at the location of Kim Shin and others. On the other hand, Kim Shin frowned at the current situation. Yes, he was right that Lyra could see her friend. However, Kim Shin doesn''t know the reason why. ''Maybe Ara didn''t tell me all the truth about her whip... and with this loud commotion, it was certainly heard by other participants, and this place will be crowded soon..." Kim Shin thought and then he looked at Ara''s situation. And there he found, Ara lying on the ground. Her hair was totally incinerated with her both arms outstretched upwards as her body blackened like overcooked food, and also her left leg was completely destroyed by the fire power. "She was almost cremated alive..." He commented after he saw the gory look of Ara. Then, as the Soul Control effect wore off. Lyra was back again on herself and her eye''s widely open as tears flowed out of her reddish eyes. Actually, she knew all the things happened. She''s watching herself burning her friend from the deep inside of her consciousness. In fact, She tried to resist Kim Shin''s Soul Control. However, the Soul Control was too powerful to break off for her. "It''s not my fault... That''s right it wasn''t my fault. I didn''t kill Ara, Haha..." Lyra who''s still crying, consoled herself that she did not kill Ara and began to laugh maniacally as if she''s had been possessed. On the other hand, Kim Shin remained calm as he watched the pitiful Lyra who''s deeply broken once again. Although, he felt sorry for controlling Lyra to kill her friend, it didn''t bother him that much. Since they also have the intention to kill him. Hence, Kim Shin began to charge at Lyra, with an intention to dispatch her as he instantly appeared before her. "N-no, don''t kill me. It''s not my fault¡ª" However, Kim Shin didn''t stop himself. Because, he already could hear approaching footsteps. So, he''s more on set to kill Lyra. He unhesitatingly pierced Lyra''s chest straight into her heart. "Ugh..." Lyra''s blood was leaking out of her chest as she also vomited a mouthful of blood. ''Forgive me.'' Kim Shin apologized inwardly as he withdrew his long sword from Lyra''s body and then Lyra eventually fell onto the ground. Thud! [You''ve obtained 1 Killed Point] As the system notified him that Lyra was already dead, the previous footsteps he heard had finally arrived. "It seems that we''re already late..." Commented by a tall and muscular man that clad in full plate iron armor with a black two-handed sword at his back. "Boss, look at that guy over there." The man with a goat mustache behind the muscular man spoke, and then he pointed his finger at Kim Shin who waved his sword as Lyra''s blood got off the long sword. He then continued; "Do you think he''s the reason of the explosion that happened earlier?" At that question, the muscular man frowned while contemplating his subordinate words. "What are you guys doing? Aren''t you going to attack? or you guys waiting for me to move?" Kim Shin suddenly spoke loudly to the two man whose staring at him as he lean his sword on his shoulder that made the two expression turned dark. "Damn¡ª" The man with a goat mustache was about to charge at Kim Shin. However, he was stopped by his Boss. "Stop it, Chang!" "But Boss Yun! He''s clearly belittling us!" Chang reasoned. Yet, his Boss Yun, didn''t budge at his words. It just looked quietly at Kim Shin. Boss Yun could feel that Kim Shin was formidable just by looking at Kim Shin whose remained calmly standing before them despite the disadvantage in number. While Boss Yun was staring at Kim Shin, Chang, who couldn''t stand the smug face of Kim Shin anymore, immediately charged at Kim Shin with a two iron dagger on his both hands. "No, Chang!" Boss yun loudly called out in surprise as he tried to stop Chang, he didn''t understand what''s wrong with his subordinate to suddenly charge. However, he''s already too late. SLASH! THUD! Kim Shin cut Chang in half from head to toe without a problem which shocked Boss Yun. [You''ve obtained 1 Killed Point] "H-How?!" Boss Yun uttered in stupefication. He couldn''t comprehend at what happened. He didn''t see how his subordinate died. All he just saw was a flashed and then his subordinate wad already cut in half. ''He''s demon!'' Boss Yun could only think to run. Even himself couldn''t kill his subordinate Chang without taking a damage. So, facing Kim Shin was just looking for death. Then, he unhesitatingly turned around and run at full speed. Unfortunately, Kim Shin already moved forward before Boss Yun could run far away. WHOOOSH The quick approaching footstep of Kim Shin was like a death reaper footstep at Boss Yun ears. ''No, I won''t die like this. I will have a new and better life this time. I couldn''t just die now.'' Boss Yun thought as he unsheathe his black two-handed sword and was about to surprise Kim Shin. However, Kim Shin moved too quickly that before Boss Yun could turn around, he already cut her neck. [You''ve obtained 1 Killed Point] Thud! Boss Yun body fell on the ground and followed up by his head that fell across his body. "I need five more points to get the required amounts for entering the second floor..." Kim Shin murmured as he looked at the corpse around him. "It seems I couldn''t Soul Cleave all of them, I can''t just waste time. Maybe someone was already close to the fifth floor or already at the sixth floor." 51 Killers Tower - VI "It seems I couldn''t Soul Cleave all of them. I can''t just waste time. Maybe someone was already close to the fifth floor or already at the sixth floor." Kim Shin murmured as he pondered who to Soul Cleave first. The guy with green bow also had a good skill. However, Kim Shin didn''t like to use Bow and arrows as his weapon. Then the two guy who he just killed. Maybe have or maybe don''t have a good skill. Since, he immediately killed them before they could perform a skill. So, his only good choice was the Lewd Duo. First, Ara who has unique skills. However, he was not sure if it''s her own skill or the whip skill. Because, if it was the skill that connected in that item, then he couldn''t use it. Since the whip was already bounded to Ara. So the best choice was, Lyra. She has a various of magic skills. Especially the one she used to kill Ara. Nevertheless, what he liked at Lyra''s Skills was the air bullet. So, he''s already decided. Then he approached the body of Lyra and activated his Soul Cleave skill. WHOOOSH Dark Violet aura appeared on his right hand, and it flew and covered Lyra''s entire body as if the dark violet aura was inspecting her full body. Shua! Shua! And just like what happened before at the first time he used the Soul Cleave, a black light energy seeped out of Lyra''s body that flew straight at Kim Shin''s temple. ''Ugh!'' Kim Shin felt once again the sudden pain that was immediately absorbed by the Mortiss pendant. Ding! [You''ve successfully learned ''Air Bullet Lv. 1''] [Air Bullet Lv. 1] ( Active ) Grade: Common ( Upon activation; Three consecutive air with a speed of a handgun will appear on the user''s hand. Duration: 2 seconds. MP Cost: 20 Cooldown: 6 seconds ) "Haha. Yes! My luck stat finally showed its true power!" Kim Shin exclaimed with ecstatic expression. Although, it was only a low grade skill, it will be significant if it used at the perfect moment, and of course, it will be improved considerably after he managed to level up this skill. It''s better to have various of Low Grade Skills than to have a single High-Grade Skill. Since, having different types of Low Grade Skills means you will have great chances to surprise your enemies. While, having a single High-Grade Skill is also good. However, once you missed your target, you''re probably a dead man at the time, when your High-Grade Skill got cooled down. After, cleaving the body of Lyra. Kim Shin starts to collect his loot. He took everything he could take at their dead bodies. ''Now, Let''s go. It''s time to look for the path to the second floor...'' At the massive black like a portal door, a group of five men was sitting on the ground while casually conversing.

Called out by a young man in his early-twenties with a white hair that got the four man attention, and he continued; "How much points do you guys needed before you could enter the second floor?" " Last one " Answered at the same time by the four men. "So, we all need just a single point to enter huh..." The white-haired young man murmured. "Don''t worry about that Clay. We just need to wait here and if those new participant walks here, then we all could enter the second floor. Hahaha.." It was said by the Bald uncle beside the white-haired young man and tapped the young man back heavily as it laughed. Clay could only laugh as well at the optimist answer of the Bald Uncle as he thanked him. "Yes, thank you Uncle Baldo..." "Haha. What are you thanking for? You little!" Uncle Baldo answered as he messed with Clay''s white hair. Clay and the other four men were a party since the day one of the Tutorial. They got transferred at the same location which was really a fortunate thing could happen. It''s only a few days had passed, but they seriously changed into something really different from their usual self. They fight bosses and also even killed bandits who tried to steal their items. They could kill humans now as if they are insects. Although, just a few days ago they followed certain rules on earth. Now, with their desire to get stronger, they didn''t think twice to enter this Killer''s Tower. However, Clay was currently bothered right now. As, if he''s back to his old self. This wasn''t the life he''s dreaming for himself. He was from a prominent family. He had a beautiful girlfriend. He also had good academics and about to graduate. And in just a blink of an eye, he was already like this now. As he was thinking. Clay unconsciously observed Uncle Baldo and other who''s laughing as they casually talked with each other. Eventually, Clay arrived at the decision he could only think of. He shook his head and smile. ''I should be content that I have these 4 uncles who''s always with me'' Clay thought. Tap! Tap! "Get ready, it''s time to collect our points..." Uncle Baldo announced as he heard the approaching footsteps. Back at Kim Shin. After he left his previous location. he was already roaming every room and corner of the first floor as he also encountered few participants which he easily dispatched. Hence, he already gained all the 10 Killed Points required to enter the 2nd Floor. What his only problem now was he still yet didn''t find the stair or door to the second floor. "Haah!" While walking Kim Shin suddenly heard a faint sound of clashing, in the distance, at the left pathway. Rushing through the source of the clashing. Kim Shin found a four man encircled around the three corpse on the ground. "Unfortunately, they are only three. We still need one more point, so we could leave this floor at the same time." Commented by one of the men. "So, who still need one more point?" Asked by a young white-haired man. "I!" Answered by the Bald Uncle. Yes, It''s Clay and Uncle Baldo''s party, who are still camping before the way to the 2nd Floor. ''What are this four idiot doing? They didn''t know that the act their doing will be useless at the upper floors'' As, Kim Shin saw them. He couldn''t help but to comment in his mind. "Oh seems like, our last point is here..." One of the Clay''s party member spoke as he stared and smiled wickedly at Kim Shin. 52 Killers Tower - VII | Second Floor "Oh seems like, our last point is here..." One of the Clay''s party member spoke as he stared and smiled wickedly at Kim Shin. Kim Shin who was openly walked without worry was spotted by one of them. "What are we waiting for? Let''s get your last point." The man who spotted Kim Shin urged Uncle Baldo. However, Uncle Baldo only stared at Kim Shin as if he''s inspecting the young man, Kim Shin. "No, Garth. We''re not going to fight him." Uncle Baldo answered seriously after he withdrew his eyes from Kim Shin. "Why? Don''t you like to advance quickly to the second floor?" Garth questioned confusedly. He couldn''t understand why Uncle Baldo doesn''t want to fight this pretty face young man, Kim Shin. "Garth, aren''t you getting out of your mind? Remember, we enter this tower not just because we want to be strong, we also want to kill criminals and please put this into your mind. We won''t ever kill minors, unless they initiate to fight us. Besides¡ª" Uncle Baldo reprimand Garth whose face was getting dark at his every word as, he suddenly cut his about to say. "Besides what?" Garth asked when Uncle Baldo stopped his words. Uncle Baldo couldn''t answer the question. Since, he couldn''t say that Kim Shin was formidable than what they think of this young man. He''s a man from the underworld. So, of course he also encountered few masters in underworld, and they all have a similar aura. It''s the aura of blood. As if they bathed in a pool of blood, and that what he could feel at Kim Shin. And he was certain that Kim Shin was not your typical young man. Yes, it''s true that he doesn''t want to kill a minor. However, deep inside, he knew it was just an excuse to avoid this demon in a skin of human. While Uncle Baldo is looking at Kim Shin, Clay was observing his uncle Baldo. He knows that there''s something weird in Uncle Baldo. But, he couldn''t know the reason. "Tsk. You''re lucky young man. Go ahead!" Garth clicked his tongue as he made a way for Kim Shin. Kim Shin, on the other hand, was only listening to their conversation until it ended. Then, he calmly walked to the door of the next floor. Uncle Baldo and others watched Kim Shin slowly walking before them. Kim Shin also observed them as he walked. He didn''t let his guard down, even though they let him pass. He already experienced what''ve happened to those people who trust too much. Betrayed! So, experiencing how the feeling of being betrayed changed Kim Shin''s mind set. He couldn''t easily trust anymore. As, he was walking Kim Shin saw the white-haired man, Clay, who''s clearly watching him intently with his red eyes. ''Hmm?'' Ding! The System suddenly alerted Kim Shin, as he bumped at the massive black liquid door that blocking his way to the second floor. [ Do you wished to advance at the next floor? ] [ Yes | No ] The system asked him which he unhesitatingly clicked the ''Yes'' button. SWOOSH~ The number of KP at the corner his right eyes, quickly down to 0 as he was sucked by the Black portal. After Kim Shin fades away, Uncle Baldo finally heaved a sighed of relief. "What''s wrong Uncle Baldo?" Clay concernedly inquired Uncle Baldo when he saw his Uncle sighed deeply. "Nothing, we just luckily avoided calamity..." Uncle Baldo weakly replied. Hearing his uncle Baldo answer, Clay looked back again at the black portal where Kim Shin gone. WHOOSH! WHOOSH! Multiple arrows and fireballs immediately rained down on him when the light that sucked Kim Shin fades away. Fortunately, Kim Shin did already visioned this. He was prepared, after he got sucked by the black door or whatever that thing is. Kim Shin quickly activated his Accelerator and made a zigzag movement as he dodged all the attacks raining down on him. BOOM! BOOM! The fireballs exploded on the ground that made a weak tremor while the arrows deeply pierced the ground as they missed their only target. "It''s really a heartfelt welcoming..." Kim Shin commented as he observed his welcomers or assaulters that slack-jawed at Kim Shin''s maneuver. "Oh, what? Surprise?" Kim Shin spoke when he saw their reaction. "Damn! Shoot! Relax he''s alone." The man in the middle of 4 more men in their early twenties commanded as he consoled his team. WHOOSH! WHOOSH! Glowing, rotating red and green arrows quickly sped towards Kim Shin. ''Seems like it will be the start of Skills user now...'' Kim Shin thought when he saw the arrows skill that just activated as he parried them with his long sword, and they pierced on the ground behind him. CLANG! CLANG! Fortunately, it didn''t explode like the man with the green hat he fought earlier. Although, it increased its speed and force for piercing, it wasn''t effective at all for Kim Shin, who''s in Accelerator Mode. WHOOSH! After he parried the arrows, Kim Shin quickly charged to them. However, before he could reach them, the other two men pointed their staff to Kim Shin. "Flare!" Uttered by the two men at the same time. Then a thin ray of fire quickly flew at Kim Shin''s direction, which he easily evaded. " No way..." way.." They could only stare at Kim Shin in stupefaction after they couldn''t follow Kim Shin''s movement. "Damn!" Darned by the leader of the party whose standing in the middle of his team. 10 meters away from Kim Shin. "I don''t believe you''re strong enough to beat me. Since, I''m strength type and you''re agility type!" Confidently said by the Party''s Leader, who positioned his iron shield and short steel sword as, he began to charge on Kim Shin. BOOM! Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Unfortunately for him. Kim Shin wasn''t just agility type. He also have a good stat on his strength. A booming sound echoed as the two collided that also caused a small smoke that covered them. WHOOSH! BAM! Then, a figure of man flew out of the smoke as it slammed and rolled lifelessly on the ground. It was the man who was previously confident fighting Kim Shin face to face with a big cut on his right shoulder to his left flank. "L-Leader!" "Boss?!" Worriedly called out by the subordinates of the man who''s lying on the ground. 53 Killers Tower - VIII | Old Man "L-Leader!" "Boss?!" Worriedly called out by the subordinates of the man who''s lying on the ground as, they rushed to their leader. "Leader. Wake up!" Yelled out by the man who first approached their Leader. He shook his leader''s body hoping to wake him up. Ding! [You''ve obtained 2 Killed Points] Unfortunately for them, the system already notified Kim Shin about the man''s death. "I''m sorry to inform you guys. But, the system already declared it, your Leader had passed away..." Kim Shin spoke in a sarcastic tone of voice, which infuriated the four guys alive. "It''s your fault!" "Yes, you killed our leader!" The infuriated men started to blame him about their dead Leader. "Yes, I killed him. So what? If you''re all angry, then come and bite me..." Kim Shin retort as he scoffed at their accusations. Who the f*ck, is right in their mind to blame someone killing one of them after they are the one who started the fight. They''re bunches of hypocrite criminals. Kim Shin''s answer stunned them. They couldn''t speak or move. Since, Kim Shin was right. So, what if he killed their boss. If they are angry, then fight him, avenge their boss. However, they didn''t know how could they fight this beast, Kim Shin. If they are thinking something, it will be the way how to escape from this situation. "What are we gonna do now?" Asked by one of them. They couldn''t decide on what to do. Do they continue to fight or start running? As they looked at each other, they eventually nodded in unison, seems like they already had a tacit understanding. "Run!" They shouted as they ran into different directions. Kim Shin was a bit taken aback at their decision. Although, it also comes to his head that they will try to escape, however, he was surprised that they quickly made a great plan. They ran in different directions, so that one who got followed by Kim Shin could only blame himself at his bad luck. Sadly for them, Kim Shin didn''t take their trick seriously. He just smiled slightly and with a ''Whoosh'' Kim Shin instantly arrived at the person who''s already far away than the other escaping men. ''No... It can''t be true...'' The man who''s rapidly running with a bow on his back felt an ominous feeling as he was about to look to the rear. However, Kim Shin''s sword pierced the man''s back through at his fast thumping heart with just a flashed. Ding! [You''ve obtained 2 Killed Points] Kim Shin didn''t look at system notification. He just took off his long sword from the man''s heart as he swiftly arrived at the other man. BOOM! A loud booming sound reverberated as he blasted the man''s head into meat paste. Ding! [You''ve obtained 2 Killed Points] Afterwards, Kim Shin also dispatched the two that really got faraway and then his Accelerator stopped. Phew! Kim Shin heaved a sighed of relief. He could finally relax a little, after he completely checked the surroundings. "Haah. I''ve finally got a time to relax." He muttered in satisfaction as he approached and collected every thigh he could get from the corpse. Although, almost the item he collected was no use on him. It will be different to someone else. He could sell these items for good price after the tutorial ends. Kim Shin happily collected their belongings as he hummed in a good mood. However, a flying fireball broke his sweet mood. WHOOSH BOOM! The fireball exploded on the ground after Kim Shin rolled over, since he''s kneeling on the ground while collecting his loots when the flying fireball appeared behind him.

A hoarse voice commented, after Kim Shin successfully avoided the fireball. Then, Kim Shin looked at the source of the attack and the hoarse voice. And what he found was a hunch back skinny old man in black-robed as if already on the verge of dying. However, Kim Shin clearly saw the vigorous glimmering eyes of the aged man that full of vitality. The old man was armed with a black stick like h*arry p*tter wands. "Old man. You should not go outside, did you already take your medicine?" Kim Shin jokingly spoke. However, he knew that this old man wasn''t your typical grandpa. This old man certainly has considerable tricks in his sleeves since he got at the second floor. Starting at this floor, there will be no weakling who advanced to second floor alone. "Don''t worry about me youngling, worry about yourself." The old man replied as he smiled at Kim Shin showing his yellow-gold teeth. "No worries old man. I''m still young and full of strength. I''m worried about you, what if you suddenly fell down on the ground with your head? There''s no hospital here and you might die..." Kim Shin rebutted. He couldn''t let this old man just mocked him. "Well, then let''s see..." The old man eventually infuriated at Kim Shin as he gritted his yellow-gold teeth. Then, the old man pointed his black wand on the ground as he chanted and light brown magic circle with an ancient symbols in the inside appeared on the ground. "Rise my child!" Loudly called out by the old man and the ground where the magic circle located on suddenly shakes and cracked. Crack! Crack! The cracking continued as the broken ground started to build up. The broken pieces of rocks came into single place, at first it made a big foot shape made of rocks, then legs, body, arms and eventually head. "A golem!" Kim Shin exclaimed. Approximately 3 meters tall rock golem was standing before the old man. "Be amazed at the wonder of my art. Go my child, trample him to death!" The old man strongly commanded the 3-meter tall golem as he pointed his wand to Kim Shin. Without any question, the golem unhesitatingly followed his master''s order as it ran slowly at Kim Shin''s direction, which causes mild tremors. With the golem heavy body, it would be normal to cause a tremor when in its big rocky foot stepped strongly on the ground. 54 Killers Tower - IX | Old Man - II The golem instantly arrived before Kim Shin and threw a heavy right punch towards Kim Shin whose still didn''t move at his position. And before the big rocky fist could hit him. Kim Shin starts to move; he ducked his head and threw a roundhouse kick on the left flank of the golem. Kim Shin''s kick made a loud ''BAM!'' sound followed by a cracking sound as the golem swayed a little to right. However, the golem as if it couldn''t feel anything, it tried to punch Kim Shin once more with its left fist. Unfortunately, Kim Shin was too fast for the rock monster, with a quick footstep Kim Shin already got behind the Golem. And with a left kick straight on the spine-like rock of the Golem; BOOM! A loud impact resound as the spine-like of the golem crack from the point where Kim Shin''s kicked landed until on its nape as it heavily fell on the ground that shook the ground. All of this just happened in just few seconds, which stupefied the old man who''s still smiling at his art.

The old man stuttered when he spoke as he couldn''t believe that a human physique could kill his golem without any problem. Not just simply killed, it was utterly beaten with just a few kicks. [You''ve defeated the Small Stone Golem] "Why? Did you think just because you''re older, it does mean you already know everything and you could trample us with ease?" Kim Shin answered as he scoffed at the old man. "Hah! Laughable" The old man was speechless at Kim Shin''s words. Yes, Kim Shin was right. He thought he almost knew everything, maybe if they are still on Earth, he could be an all-knowing old man. However, they are not on Earth anymore. He doesn''t have any idea about this place at all. All what he knew was to summon this rock monsters and kill. Nevertheless, the old man couldn''t still accept to do nothing and just accept death. ''No, I still need to find my son and daughter, also my cute grandchildren''s.'' Clenching his yellow-gold teeth, the old man glared with hostile expression at Kim Shin. "If you think, you could frighten me with just killing one of my golem then take this." Then, the old man closed his wrinkled eyes and pointed again on the ground as he chanted in a weak voice. Shing! Shing! Shing! Numerous light brown magic circles appeared on the ground that caused the dimly lighted surrounding to light up more. "If single golem is not enough, then COME OUT MY CHILDREN!" As the old man loudly called out, the magic circles shine brightly that hid the old man figure. TREMBLE~ CRACK~ CRACK~ Kim Shin calmly watched this event as the ground started to tremble and caused a number of cracks on the ground. ''How much magic power does this old man have?'' Kim Shin couldn''t help but thought about the old man magic power. They are still on the tutorial stage. So, he was a bit baffled at the number of skilled person, he already met. ''The world was really too big, there will be a skilled one roaming everywhere.'' Kim Shin shook his head as he focused himself on the fight. There will be a lot of chances for him to be stronger after the tutorial. BOOM! BOOM! The ground shook once again as the shining light died down, leaving a more than 20 small stone golem at the front of the old man. Even with the number of golems, the surrounding was still so wide and big seems endless. It was like a massive dark green hall way with a roof that couldn''t see, if there''s really a roof or just an endless darkness. Still, thanks to torches on the wall that giving a faint light, the place wasn''t too dark for them to see. "Huff.. Huff! I won''t die easily, Go! KILL HIM FOR ME!" The old man strongly commanded despite his exhausted condition after summoning the golems. Then, all the golems started to move. They ran as the ground heavily shook, with their number, it will be unusual if the ground didn''t shook. "Hehe, give me more experience points." Despite the number of golems that the old man summoned, Kim Shin only thought them as a bunch of experience points. Then, he tried to appraise them. However, ERROR! [You can''t perform appraisal on a living target while you''re still in the Killer''s Tower] A big red error appeared before his eyes. ''Damn, that little imp. He didn''t tell me about this.'' Although, he didn''t believe so much at Minsk words, he didn''t expect that the appraisal won''t work inside this tower. However, he still could see the golems health bar. [Small Stone Golem Lv. 15] HP: 10,500/10,500 MP: --- "Tsk." He clicked his tongue in annoyance as he unequipped his long sword, since it won''t be effective at this type of monsters. After that he activated his pseudo dragon body, black scales covered his both fist until his elbows. WHOOSH~ BOOM! Kim Shin quickly charged forward after he prepared himself. Pouncing forward with high speed, Kim Shin almost instantly reached the first stone golem. ROAR! The stone golem roared at Kim Shin with its non human voice, with a right heavy punch to Kim Shin. However, Kim Shin didn''t idle this time, with a quick movements, he avoided the attack by jumping to the left and front flip as he landed at lower body of the stone golem. And with a resounding ''Boom''. The left flank of the golem cracked with Kim Shin left punch that goes deep inside the stone golem''s body. The golem tilted his body to another side by the powerful force behind Kim Shin''s mighty punch. ROAR! Another, bellowing roar could be heard behind him, followed by a punch towards his head of new arrived golem which smoothly evaded by Kim Shin with simply ducking his head, as he rotated his body and threw a heavy right punch at the golem''s abdomen. BOOM! Shockwave erupted when his fist caved in the abdomen of the golem that caused a long wide crack on the golem''s body. Even with a huge damage he just inflicted, Kim Shin didn''t stop his attacks. He followed up by another punch with his left fist. BANG! The golem was hit once again at the same area where Kim Shin hit landed first. The golem eventually fell on heavily on the ground as it broken to pieces. [You''ve defeated the Small Stone Golem] 55 Killers Tower - X | Old Man - III The reason why the Kim Shin easily slayed the golem was because he targeted its core in its abdomen which he punched twice that caused it to be broken. "What are you doing? Attack him at the same time!" The old man anxiously yelled when he saw how Kim Shin slain another golem without so much effort. This time, if he couldn''t kill Kim Shin with this, he will be the one who''s certainly going to die, that''s why he''s getting anxious. He''s already exhausted, how could an old man like him achieve to escape from this young man with his aged and out of energy body.

However, with so many of them and their large body, they couldn''t attack Kim Shin in unison. Only four stone golems managed to surround Kim Shin. Kim Shin, who was surrounded by four stone golems, could only smile in the situation. ''I won''t die, with just this.'' Kim Shin thought. Then, the four golems began to assault Kim Shin with their big fist hoping to complete their master''s order. However, Kim Shin who''s in the middle of their attack was like a little ant. They couldn''t hit him even once. Since every attack they threw at Kim Shin, always had a gap for him to dodge in. BOOM! BOOM! The fist of four golems collided as they missed their attacks and caused a loud sound with foggy dust smoke that hid Kim Shin''s figure. "Dammit! SLAM YOUR GODDAMNED FIST ON HIM!" Cough! Cough! The old man screamed out in anger as he loudly coughed. Hearing their master''s instruction, the four golems raised up their hands above their head and they heavily punched on Kim Shin''s whose still covered with dusty smoke. WHOOSH! BOOOOOOM! The ground strongly trembled and cracked with a tremendous impact by the force brought by 4 golems attack at the same time. WHOOSH! Kim Shin jumped out of the dust smoke, with completely fine look. ''That almost got me there eh.'' He thought. Yes, it was a bit hard to dodge the previous attack. Fortunately they couldn''t see Kim Shin inside the smoke that already moved out of their target attack. Jumping up high in the air, Kim Shin threw a powerful kick on face the of the golem at his front. BOOM! The golem head rotated clockwise by Kim Shin''s mighty kick as it fell on the ground. BOOM! When the golem he kicked fell down, Kim Shin finally landed beside this golem and then he immediately pounced on its abdomen and landed with a heavy stomped of his feet. BOOM! [You''ve defeated the Small Stone Golem] With just a single stomped Kim Shin broke the abdomen straight through the core of the golem as it crumbled into number of rocks. WHOOSH! After he killed another golem, Kim Shin continued to massacre the golems. His action traumatized the Old Man who''s watching with dumbfounded expression. "H-How could this be?" The old man uttered in stupefaction. He couldn''t believe at what he witnessed. A young man massacred all his golems bare handedly. Phew~ Kim Shin sighed in exhaustion after he massacred the summoned stone golems. Then, he looked at the old man who''s still stunned at his performance. "How could you be so strong?..." The old man confusedly asked Kim Shin. "Why? Couldn''t I be strong?" Kim Shin answered back with a smile as he slowly advance to the old man. "Yes, you''re right. No one said that you can''t be strong¡­" Phew~ Then the old man continued; "You win, kill me now.." The old man said with bleak expression as he looked down and kneeled on the ground. He''s hopeless now; he won''t be able to see again his family. Kim Shin who finally arrived before the old man suddenly stopped and asked a question. "Tell me Old Man, why did you join this event?" "I want to be strong¡­" The old man replied faintly. "We all want to be strong¡­ that''s generic answer. So, for what reason?" Kim Shin mockingly said as his long sword appeared out of nowhere. "If I didn''t like your answer, I will immediately kill you." He continued as he pointed his sword at the Old Man wrinkled neck. Looking the sword that pointed at him, the old man slowly looked up at Kim Shin with a teary eyes and snot. "I-I want t-to be strong, so I could see m-my FAMILY BEFORE I DIE!" The Old Man loudly answered as he broke into tears and start crying loudly. Kim Shin who heard and saw how the Old Man only wished to meet his family for once last chance, finally took off his sword from the Old Man''s neck. "Although, I don''t know if what you said are all true, I will give you chance. I won''t kill you but you need to follow my orders until the end of this event. After this event you can have your freedom back." Kim Shin stated seriously. The Old Man was taken aback at Kim Shin''s decision and his tears stopped as he quickly hugged Kim Shin''s foot. "Thank you, thank you so much, young man." He was truly grateful at the benevolent young man as he kissed Kim Shin''s feet. On the other hand, Kim Shin was surprised at the old man action then he quickly withdrew his right foot from the hugging Old Man. "Get away from me! I couldn''t trust your thank you. I want you to take Blood Oath." Kim Shin demanded with annoyed expression. "Blood oath? What is that?" The Old Man confusedly asked with worried expression on his aged face. "It''s like this¡­." Then Kim Shin taught the Old Man how to use Blood Oath. "Did you get it?" Kim Shin questioned after he told everything about the Blood Oath to the old man which answered quickly with a nod. "Yes." "Then start." Kim Shin said as he held a dagger to the old man. 56 Killers Tower - XI Holding the dagger on his right hand, the old man then slowly cut his left palm and the blood dripped out. ''Ugh'' "I, Victor Sins, swear in heavens, that I will follow¡ª" The old man didn''t know what to say. Since, he did not know this young man name. "Kim Shin." Kim Shin interjected. "That I will follow Kim Shin''s every command until the end of the Killer''s Tower event and if I failed to follow his order, may my soul burned in hell for eternity." Whoosh! The air around Victor Sins, suddenly become wild as the blood on his palm glowed and turned to circle-shape blood as it floats faintly. And after a few moments, the glowing blood quickly pierced through old man''s heart leaving a black ancient symbol inscribed on it and the wild wind died down as the old man coughed a mouthful of blood. "Here, take this!" Kim Shin tossed a thin red and blue glass bottle to Victor Sins which anxiously caught by the old man as he looked at the two thin bottle and look back again at Kim Shin in puzzlement. "What is this?" Victor Sins asked while pointing his lips on the bottle on his hands. "Just drink it quickly. You need to recover first, before we could move." Kim Shin simply answered as he urged Victor to drink the liquid inside the two bottles. With Kim Shin''s command, Victor doesn''t have a choice but to comply. Even if Kim Shin said that he needs to drink poison, he must do it. Since, he already took an oath that he would follow Kim Shin''s every command. Victor Sins steeled himself as he removed the cork of the bottle with red liquid and slowly put in his mouth while praying that the thing inside this bottle wasn''t a poison or something that could torture him. Contrast to his expectation, after he drank the red liquid, he only felt a bitter taste and he saw his health bar on the top left corner of his sight, quickly recovering as his wounds that he got at the previous battle he fought was miraculously heal with a visible speed. "What is this miraculous thing that you give to me?" Victor asked Kim Shin in bewilderment. "Old man it''s just a beginner health potion, it wasn''t miraculous at all." Kim Shin answered as he scoffed. He can''t call the beginner health potion effect as a miracle. He''s being transferred back at the previous time was the real miracle. "Health Potion,? Then, what is this blue liquid?" Victor muttered as he looked at the blue liquid inside the thin glass bottle. "Just drink old man, it won''t kill you." Kim Shin replied in annoyance. Hence, Victor carelessly drank the blue liquid as he felt a sweet taste. "This is so sweet¡ª'' Victor words suddenly cut when a cooling feeling occurred inside his body. "What is happening¡­UGH¡ª" He couldn''t stop himself but moaned from the pleasuring feeling. "You''re gross old man." Kim Shin commented with a weird expression as he knitted his eyebrows.

Victor shyly replied as his eyes stopped on his magic power bar that supposedly empty but already filled half of the bar. "Hooh. This is amazing! Young Man, do you still have more of this liquid?" Victor asked Kim Shin with his gleaming eyes, hoping to have more as he crawled to Kim Shin. "Dammit Old Man, Do you think that potions are cabbage that you could pick everywhere?" Kim Shin spoke with a loud voice and widened eyes. "Hehe. Sorry I''m just asking¡­" Victor apologized with a bitter smile. "Let''s go old man or do you want to stay there?" Kim Shin said as he walked forward leaving Victor who''s still smiling weirdly. "Wait¡ª" --------------- At the dimly light place at second floor of the Killer''s Tower. A group of three people could be seen carefully walking, consisting of one tall woman and two guy, walking at the front of the woman with long and thick curly blonde hair. Her light red eyes was full of vitality as it glimmered, seems like she''s not affected at the current situation of all human beings. Her thin eyebrows were so relax despite the high possibility of them dying in this place. Her nose is small but pointed really suited with her soft and small glossy red lips. If you look closely on her face, you could found she''s actually wearing makeup. She''s dressed in a red long robe without a hood that tightly wrapped against her body which emphasizing his sexy hips but sadly her boobs was a NO! NO! And she''s armed with a silver magic staff that has a red shiny gem at the top of it. The Big guy walking on her left was a light browned skin man who''s clad in full plate heavy steel armor with plate helmet that hiding the man''s face. This big guy was actually almost 7 ft tall with a Huge Shield on his left arm and longsword on his right hand as he slowly advanced while inspecting the surroundings. On the opposite side of the big guy is a tall, well-built white man with brown hair. The man was pretty good looking. Compared to the big guy who''s wearing a heavy armor, this man was clad in a light plated armor with a double-handed sword on his back. BOOOM! BOOOM! When, suddenly a loud explosion in the distance reverberated. "Seems like there was a fight¡­" The white-man spoke as he frowned. "Yes, let''s take a look." The woman in red immediately said and the three looked at each other first before nodding in agreement. They ran at the location of explosion. And when they arrived at the location while still hiding in a corner, they found a young man in black robe with a long sword on his right hand and a hunch back old man the same with the young man wearing a black-robed with a black stick on his right hand, surrounded by a group of 6 people. 57 Killers Tower - XII | Alicia And when they arrived at the location while still hiding in a corner. In the distance, they found a young man in black robe with a long sword on his right hand and a hunch back old man the same with the young man wearing a black-robed with a black stick on his right hand, standing back to back with each other as they were surrounded by six men with a different kind of weapons. "ATTACK! DIE!" The man with a two-handed huge sword loudly command as he strongly stepped forward and slashed his sword downwards to the young man in black robe, hoping to kill the young man in one slashed. However, the man''s sword was effortlessly deflected by the young man steel longsword that made a ''Clang!'' sound as his two-handed sword bounced back a little. Despite his attack that parried by the young man he followed up another slant slash towards the young man''s neck as his eye''s glint with hostile intention. Clang! However, despite his quick followed up, the young man easily defended his attack with bored expression on his face, which infuriated him. Hence, with anger rushing in his head, he furiously activated his sword skill. ''Triple Slash!'' Swoosh! His sword glowed with red aura as he attacks the young man with fast combo from left, right slash and downward smash over his head with all his strength. Unfortunately, even with his quick and mighty combo, it was still all parried by the young man. "No way!" He exclaimed in surprise as he then jumped back to take a distance. "Old Man, How many points do you still need?" The young man spoke to the old man behind him. It''s Kim Shin and Victor Sins. "Six more kills.." Victor answered as he defended the sword slashing to him by timely summoning a stone golem. "Then, you can have them. Since I only need one more, I''ll look for it on the way."

As, if he didn''t put the six men surrounding them in his eyes. "Alright." Victor replied with an okay sign with his left hand. He got so cheeky with Kim Shin now after he accompanied him for a couple of hours. In those hours, he discovered that this young man wasn''t bad at all. It''s true that Kim Shin was serious and sometimes ruthless when it came to trusting and fighting people. He also got to know that Kim Shin was a reasonable person, he won''t kill if they didn''t initiate the attack. However, what he couldn''t understand is, what this young man experienced to be this ruthless, strong and matured. Nevertheless, he''s truly grateful to the heavens that he encountered Kim Shin and not some psycho that could ruthlessly kill without conscience and without a good reason. "Dammit! Throw all your skills to them! Now!" The leader of the six men growled furiously when he heard the casual conversation of their prey as if, he and his brothers'' deaths was already confirmed. However, before they could attack, Kim Shin suddenly flashed at the leader of the surrounding group "Old Man, I will help you this time. Just kill them quickly." Kim Shin spoke when he suddenly appeared behind the leader of the six men. "Okay!" Victor loudly affirmed without looking at Kim Shin. Then, Kim Shin chopped the man on the neck before it could look at his behind. "Urgh..." Thud! The man then fell heavily on the ground to the shock his teammates. "Boss!" The man closest to their boss yelled in worry and was about to help his boss. However, Kim Shin flashed quickly once again and delivered a kick on the right flank of the man. BAM! Crack~ Kim Shin heard something cracked inside the man''s body as it was knocked away with his heavy kick. He didn''t stop after that, he continued to attack the other four until they fell unconscious on the ground which let them be easily killed by Victor who used his summoned golem to stomp on their heads. "I''m all done!" Victor Sins said with a bright expression on his aged face. "We''re not done yet..." Kim Shin answered in serious tone as he looked at the distance. "What do you mean?" Victor confusedly asked then he followed where Kim Shin looking at, and his expression turned dark. They are those who hid in the corner while Kim Shin and Victor are having a battle with the six-man party they just killed. "Hey, handsome! You''re pretty strong. Would you like to join my party?" The woman in red robe said arrogantly with her chin up as her eyes faintly glowed. "No! Young Man! DON''T LOOK AT HER EYES!" Victor Sins hastily said in panic. He knew who''s this demoness that''s why his expression quickly darkened when he saw who''s coming. However, as if he didn''t hear the voice of Victor, Kim Shin did not move from his position. He is still staring focused at the woman. "I''m sorry, Old Victor! But he''s already charmed by me." The woman replied in familiarity as if she had a close relationship with Victor. "Damn! Release him, Alicia!" Victor bellowed in anger. He didn''t expect that he will encounter this Demoness at this time. He knew this demoness, since they are transported at the same place. At first, Alicia was like the other girls who was terrified by the sudden change of their lives. However, when Alicia learned how to use her Special Trait ''Charm Control''. She turned to a demoness as she charmed everyone she think would be useful for her. And in the end, she dumped Victor, whom she deemed useless. "Ha-ha. Don''t be presumptuous Old Victor, be thankful that I still let you alive or do you want me to take your life?" Alicia spoke with a arrogant expression on her face. "If you want to kill me, then kill me now. Just let this young man go." Victor Sins said in a weak tone of voice, he thought that he was lucky to meet Kim Shin whose formidable, which increased the chance of him seeing his family again. Unfortunately, it seems like the destiny really don''t want him to meet his family for one last chance. 58 Killers Tower - XIII | Alicia - II "If you want to kill me, then kill me now. Just let this young man go." Victor Sins said in a weak tone of voice, he thought that he was lucky to meet Kim Shin whose formidable, which increased the chance of him seeing his family again. Unfortunately, it seems like the destiny really don''t want him to meet his family for one last chance. "Are you really willing to sacrifice yourself for this man? I thought you still want to meet your family?" Alicia asked as she raised her left eyebrow. At Alicia''s question, Victor slowly looked to Kim Shin who''s still petrified on his position, and he smiled helplessly. "I am willing..." Victor answered with determination as he nodded his head and was about to kneel on the ground. When, suddenly a voice he didn''t expect to hear again spoke beside him. "I really admire you now, Old Man!" Victor was jolted by the voice then he slowly looked at voice who just talked beside him. "K-Kim Shin!! H-How could you not be charmed by her?" Victor exclaimed as he stuttered in shocked. "H-How? My charm didn''t work? Impossible!" Alicia uttered in bewilderment. She couldn''t believe this. Her charm skill never fails to work. So, how could this happen? It was because of Kim Shin''s Special Passive Skill. Status Effect Immunity. Hence, it won''t really work on Kim Shin. However, Kim Shin didn''t need to explain about this. It''s better to secret his overpowered passive skill. "Thank you, Old Man!" Kim Shin seriously thanked Victor Sins. He never expects this Old Man who he just wanted to use at first was truly willing to sacrifice his life for him. "Ha-ha, I''m glad that you''re completely fine." Victor jovially said who''s seemed about to cry once again. Kim Shin smiled genuinely as his respond then he slowly looked and glared at Alicia whose slack-jawed with wide eyed that still couldn''t believe. "W-Why aren''t you¡ª hiiiiiikkk!!" Alicia who''s about to questioned Kim Shin suddenly shrieked loudly. "You dare to charm me with your ugly face and flat t*ts?" Kim Shin sneered as he focused his killing intent on Alicia. "I-I... K-Kill him! You two idiots, kill him for me!" Alicia who''s stuttering in fear finally controlled herself to command the two guy behind her. "Yes! Queen Alicia!" The two guys uttered in unison without a question, and they charged quickly at Kim Shin. "Tsk. You dare to call yourself a queen? Phua!" Kim Shin scoffed at Alicia''s ambition then he continued; "Old man, get back!" When he saw the big guy with shield suddenly increased his speed hoping to bash Kim Shin. "Alright." Victor didn''t question Kim Shin''s order, and he just quickly complied then he ran few yards away from Kim Shin. Whoosh! The big tanned guy passed through Kim Shin after he successfully evaded it by side-stepped on the right. Then a red glowing huge sword was rapidly slashing towards him wield by the white-man. Although, it''s fast, he could still parry. BOOM! CLANG! Shock wave occurred as their sword collided. Kim Shin was pushed back by a little, while the white-man was forced to step backward twice. Whoosh! Whoosh! A whooshing sound could be heard behind him. The big tanned guy was already charging at him once again. Seeing this, the corner of his lips raised upward forming a grin. Then, when he was about to get hit by the bashing shield, Kim Shin suddenly jumped high over the big tanned guy and ''Boom'' the tanned guy bashed and blown his teammate away. "You bunch of idiots! Get up and kill him, immediately!" Alicia who was terrified previously by Kim Shin was again back to her cockly self as she ordered the two guys that she charmed. Hearing the order of their queen, the white-man quickly sprang at his feet as he stood up and the tanned-man hurriedly position his shield again as they look at Kim Shin, who''s smiling at them. "Old Man! Do you know these two guys?" Kim Shin spoke loudly. So, Victor could hear his question. "Not much. But I know the tanned man name was Rock, the white-man was Kris, they are both party leader of different group and they lusted for Alicia''s charm." Victor answered in confusion as he knitted his eyebrows. He didn''t know why Kim Shin suddenly asked him about those two idiots. "Heh! Then let me fulfill their dreams." Kim Shin mysteriously muttered with mischievous smile. "Huh? What are you planning?" Victor asked as he didn''t clearly hear Kim Shin''s words.

This time it was Kris who charged first towards Kim Shin, clenching his steel sword, Kim Shin also dashed forward with an intention to face Kris upfront. Since he''s stronger than this person, he''s wasn''t afraid to fight Kris face to face. Whoosh! As they reached each other, Kim Shin initiate to attack with horizontal slash towards Kris left flank. Seeing this, Kris positioned his sword to defend Kim Shin''s sword. However, Kim Shin suddenly stopped at his attack. It was a faint attack, taking the opportunity, Kim Shin quickly pushed his foot on the ground and he instantly reached Kris who''s trying to change the direction of his sword and with a ''BOOM''. Kim Shin blow Kris''s abdomen with left heavy punch that caused the white-man to drop his sword and his knees on the ground while shaking as he hugged his stomach. "Ugrh¡­" Kris groaned in pain then blood flowed out of his mouth. Whoosh! "HAH! DIE FOR OUR QUEEN!" Rock screamed out when he arrived before Kim Shin as he swung his longsword from upper right downwards to bottom left which Kim Shin smoothly parried as he slightly knocked Rock''s sword back and with a slight pushed of his foot, he entered Rock''s defense, and with a ''BOOM'' he blow the tanned-man abdomen which covered by heavy armor. However, the big guy was still blown away with the mighty force behind Kim Shin punch. 59 Killers Tower - XIV | Alicia - III "HAH! DIE FOR OUR QUEEN!" Rock screamed out when he arrived before Kim Shin as he swung his long sword from upper-right downwards to bottom left which Kim Shin smoothly parried as he slightly knocked Rock''s sword back and with a faint pushed of his foot, he entered Rock''s defense, and with a ''BOOM'' he blow the tanned-man abdomen which covered by heavy armor. However, the big guy was still blown away with the mighty force behind Kim Shin punch. BOOM! Rock rolled a couple of times on the ground before he stopped exhaustedly. Although he was hurt, but it seems like he doesn''t have a soul to mind or feel his pain when he heard his queen''s voice. "Damn! Maggots! Get up!" Alicia screeched as she commands the duo to stand up. She charmed this two because she thought they would be useful. However, they couldn''t even defeat a single person. ''How could they''ll be so useless'' Alicia thought. A few moments later, when the duo finally managed to stand up. Alicia suddenly closed her eyes and slightly lowered her head as she then raised her silver magic staff closer to her face. Then, she chanted something unclear that caused the red gem on her magic staff to produce light as the area around her glowed brightly. "...by the power of my charm, RELEASE THEM FROM SHACKLES OF LIMITATION!" Whoosh! When Alicia''s chant piercingly ended, all the glowing light was sucked by her magic staff and two red flashes shrouded the duo that made them roared in pain. "Aaarrrggghhhhh!!" "Roooarghhh!!" CRACK! Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. CRACK! The duo''s physique started to enlarge that made their bones noisily cracked. "W-What''s happening?" Victor Sins confusedly mumbled as he frowned. Kim Shin on the other hand, watched the entire event happening with a smirk. ''Idiot!'' He thought when he saw how Alicia forced the duo out of their limitations. THUD! "Huff! Huff! Now, tremble to dea¡ª" Alicia whose down on her knees and as she gasped for air about to get cocky once again was abruptly stopped at her words when she saw the smirk on Kim Shin''s handsome face. ''What the heck he''s smiling for? Didn''t he realize that he will die soon?'' Alicia thought. "Aaaarrrgggggggghhhhhh!!!" "Raaaawwwwwwrggghhh!!!" The duo''s muscles continue to get bigger as they roar becomes hoarse. CRACK! CRACK! And then, finally Kim Shin saw what his expecting to happen. The duo''s physique was starting to break apart and gaping wounds appeared on the duo''s bulking bodies. Blood started to flow out of their wounds. "RAAAAARGHHHH!!!" "RAAAAAAARGHH!!!" "W-Why? Is this really supposed to happen?" Alicia muttered in bewilderment. She was unsure, since she never tried to use this skill before because of the tremendous backlash. A penalty of negative 10% to all stats permanently. Hence, at first she doesn''t want to use this skill. However, she was left without a choice. If, she didn''t activate this skill, she might die pretty soon. "You employ that skill without knowing what might happen to your target? Truly an idiot!." Kim Shin said in a mocking tone. Then, he continued; "Well, let me enlighten you. The consequence for unlocking the power of a person who still didn''t reach their potential limit is death!" Kim Shin knew this in the past, he was watching a fight in the arena before when he witnessed how a person turned to a meat monster after forcefully unlocking his limitation. Until he learned that without reaching the limit potential and get an external help for forcing to break a person limitation will end up dead like what happened at the duo. In fact, Kim Shin also has a skill for unlocking limitation, the ''Over Limit''. However, what''s different was Kim Shin''s skill was solely for him and can''t be use to others. On the other hand, Alicia''s skill couldn''t be use to herself but for others to unlock their potential. However, what she didn''t know was the right prerequisite to unlock the person''s limit. Plus, Kim Shin''s over limit skill was on the different line. Since, his skill is not from someone but directly from the system that''s why he could pass his limit without a problem. "WHAT?!" Alicia thunderously exclaimed. She couldn''t believe at Kim Shin''s revelation. However, the evidence was already on her front when her gaze landed at the duo. "Arrrrrgghhh-h¡­rgh...." The roaring of the duo eventually died down as they slumped on the ground with unknown condition if they are still breathing or already on their way in after life. "H-How did you know all of this?" Alicia, whose eyes are widely open, stutteringly questioned Kim Shin. Victor''s gaze also landed at Kim Shin who''s intrigued by Kim Shin''s knowledge at the current world. "I think you shouldn''t worry about that. Instead, worry about yourself." Kim Shin spoke mischievously as he slowly advance to Alicia. "N-No. Don''t get closer, otherwise I-I..." Alicia slowly crawls backward when she saw Kim Shin began to walk towards her. "Otherwise. What?" He smirked and he continued to slowly walk forward. "NO! P-Please don''t come!" The flat-chested woman who was so cocky earlier was crawling on the ground in horror right now. "Kim Shin! What are you planning to her?" Victor questioned as he arrived behind Kim Shin. He never tried to help Kim Shin on the previous fight. Since, he knew that helping Kim Shin would be useless, after he witnessed the power that the young man could wield. "At first, I want to fulfill the duo''s dream at lusting for Alicia. Unfortunately, they''re already passed away." "So, what do you want to do now?" "I want her to die!" Kim Shin answered in an emotionless expression. He can''t forgive Alicia for trying to charm him. What if he doesn''t have status effect immunity? What''s gonna happen to him? To his wife?. Imagining those thoughts, Kim Shin killing intent started to leaked out then he immediately leaped at Alicia and without any hesitation, Kim Shin decapitated the cocky woman who''s crying in despair. 60 Fifth Floor - I | Change in Environmen ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î After killing Alicia, Kim Shin continued to look for the 3rd floor door in annoyance. Since, he''s looking forward to learn the Special Traits of Alicia. However, it seems like acquiring the Special Traits skills will be impossible in the future. Phew~ He heaved a sighed in disappointment like an old man who''s nearing the end of his life. "What''s the problem, young man? I saw you suddenly became upset after you''ve done something at Alicia''s corpse." Victor Sins concernedly asked Kim Shin right beside him which replied with Kim Shin''s worry smile and shaking head. "I''m fine old man. By the way, earlier, why are you so willing to sacrifice yourself for someone like me?" Kim Shin seriously inquired as he looked straight on the Old man''s concerned eyes beside him. "Hmm. Nothing serious. I just know how to repay kindess that I''ve received." Victor answered with a geniune expression on his face as his gaze landed on the path they''re threading and then he continued; "Look! isn''t that the door to the third floor?" He said as he pointed his forefinger on the distance with a staircase and the same black portal after it. Hearing what the old man said, Kim Shin also looked at the place where Victor''s finger was pointed. "Yea. Let''s go!" He said as he quickened his pace. ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î After an almost a day. Kim Shin and Victor Sins was currently taking a rest in the dimly lighted area on the fourth floor of the tower. "Urgh! My back were aching so bad..." Victor grumbled while sitting on the cold ground as he tried to reach for his hunch back. However, it was a futile effort which made him released a deep sigh in disappointment.

Kim Shin hushed and remind the noisy old man while in cross-legged position. In fact, he was about to meditate. However, he couldn''t begin because of the loud grumbling voice of Victor. Now that he managed to silence the old man, he could finally begin the meditation he learned and also used before. Hoo~ Haa~ Closing his eyes, he slowly inhale then carefully exhale as he repeated this in a relax motion. After a few moments, if someone look closer or intently watch Kim Shin''s calm breathing. They could witness a faint blue aura entering Kim Shin''s nostril everytime he inhale. It was really a bizzare moment. Unfortunately, no one could watch this magical breathing exercise, since Victor was already snoring on the ground. Ding! [You''ve successfully learned Basic Magic Breathing Exercise] ¡öBasic Magic Breathing Exercise Grade: Common Effect: (While meditating; the magic power natural regeneration will increase by 10%) The system suddenly alarmed after a few minutes of meditating. However, Kim Shin didn''t stop his breathing exercise which he learned from a good friend of him. Then, after an hour of meditation, Kim Shin opened his eyes and he saw his magic points bar was finally became full once again. Kim Shin then looked at the deeply asleep Victor, who''s loudly snoring on the ground like a baby. Then, with a mischievous smile on his face, Kim Shin jolted awake the old man with a deafening scream. "WAKE UP! OLD MAN!" Kim Shin''s loud yell reverberated on the distance that almost shook the ground with his powerful voice like roar of a dragon. "Damn! Young man! What''s wrong with you?!" Victor screamed out in anger while covering his ringing ears affected by Kim Shin''s alarming shout. "HAHA. Sorry old man but we need to go." Kim Shin laughed for a while then he apologized as he stood up from his position. "Are we advancing now to the fifth floor?" Victor questioned as he pointed his right forefinger on the massive black portal door behind them. In fact, they could actually advance to the next floor if they want it. However, Kim Shin decided to take a rest for an hour. Since he felt that''s there''s something different about to happen once they advance to the 5th floor. So, now that they finally had a quick rest, it''s time to get to work once again. Kim Shin and Victor who''s standing side by side, looked and nodded at each other for a moment before they advanced to the next floor. After confirming that both of them are all prepared. Kim Shin and Victor touched the Black Portal at the same time and then a whooshing sound could be heard as the two got sucked by the black portal. Afterwards. Whooosh! An icy windblast slammed towards them that made their robes flapped strongly and Kim Shin''s hair dance wildly. "C-cold!" Victor uttered as his breath caused a cold smoke. On the other hand, Kim Shin with a quick movement, brought out a brown animal pelt jacket to covered his body which he got from some of those he killed. "Phew~ Thankfully I''m prepared.." Kim Shin said as he looked and grinned at the shaking Old man who''s already freezing by the snowy wind. "Y-young man, do you still have some extra of that animal pelt?" Victor said with a pleading eyes as he stuttered because of his shaking and freezing cold body. Kim Shin eventually held out another animal pelt to Victor, it was bad to teased a dying old man. "Thank you, young man. But, do you have any idea, why did we end up on this snowy field?" Victor asked in puzzlement after he equipped the animal pelt. "I don''t know why. But, I have a guess. Normally, the killed points we earned was immediately claimed by the black portal after we advance to the next floor. However, I found out that my KP were still all here.." Kim Shin replied. "And what do you mean about that?" Victor Sins continued to question. "What I mean or what I guess was, we''re in a different floor or might be a bonus stage floor, Since 5th floor could be considered as a threshold for the 10th floor." "We''re not on the 5th floor?" "I''m not sure yet. But we will know it after we managed to leave this place. So, the question now is how?" Kim Shin spoke as he looked at the endless flat snowy field. 61 Fifth Floor - II | Snow Monster "We''re not on the 5th floor?" "I''m not sure yet. But we will know it after we managed to leave this place. So, the question now is how?" Kim Shin spoke as he looked at the endless flat snowy field.The place was an open area which made it difficult for them to choose where to go. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Plus, the snow fell heavily that caused a thick fog which limits their sight. "Let''s go. We can''t just stand here and wait for ourselves turned to an ice sculpture." Kim Shin said as he frowned and then walked forward followed by Old Victor, who''s still shaking because of coldness brought by the occasionally blowing air. After a couple of minutes. Victor who''s on the verge of falling, couldn''t help but questioned Kim Shin. "Where are we heading?" He asked in a weak voice. However, as if Kim Shin didn''t hear him, the young man still looked seriously at the foggy distance. Kim Shin who''s cautiously inspecting their surroundings as, they carefully advance, finally sighted a village like-place at the distance behind the thick cold fog. "Is that village?!" Victor exclaimed as his eyes lit up when he saw the silhouette of a village at the distance. "Hopefully..." Kim Shin uncertainly answered, but he also hoped it''s a village, so they could warm their freezing bodies. Threading the thick fog, they finally reached the front of the old and quiet village as their foot mark carved on the snow was quickly coated with heavy snow. Kim Shin then looked at the old man beside him and said; "Old Victor, get ready!" Hearing Kim Shin''s order, Victor''s twinkling eyes died down. He knew what''s the meaning behind Kim Shin''s words. They''re still in the ''Killer''s Tower'' and there might be an ambush waiting for them.Then, Victor clenched his magic stick and nodded his head in response to Kim Shin''s words. Kim Shin also gripped his long sword then he nodded his head in signal to Old Victor as they cautiously walked forward. Entering the village, Kim Shin and Victor looked around and weirdly found a couple of wooden huts while some were already ruined and heavily covered by white snow. What weird is, they couldn''t find any sign of someone living or lived here. As they survey the surroundings, Kim Shin deeply frowned then questioned himself. ''Who built this village? What the reason for making this village inside the Tower?'' It was truly weird. It doesn''t make sense at all. Shaking his head to brush off his weird thoughts, Kim Shin then ordered Old Victor. "Old man, summon some of your stone golems and let them scan the whole village just to be safe." "Roger!" Old Victor affirmatively replied like an old soldier as he then chanted something and ''BOOM'' the ground shook, and five 3-meter tall stone golems appeared near him. "Go, check the whole area! If you guys found something inform me immediately. Move!" Victor strictly commanded his stone golems. And the ground shook when the stone golems moved immediately at their master''s order Then, Victor looked back at Kim Shin and asked, "What''s next?" "Hmm, let''s find a good place to rest first. I know that you''re already freezing." Kim Shin softly said. Obviously, he''s concerned at the old man''s health condition. "Hehe. So, thoughtful of you, young man..." Old Victor teasingly said as he weirdly smiled. "Don''t misunderstand me, Old Man. I''m not worried about you. I j-just....Nevermind." Kim Shin which''s trying to reason abruptly stopped and ignored the cheekily smiling old man. Inside the wooden hut. Kim Shin and old Victor were sitting near the fiery campfire made by Kim Shin. While meditating, Kim Shin suddenly asked old Victor who''s lying inside the green sleeping bag, "Old man, how''s your golems?." He finds it weird. He didn''t know why Victor''s stone golems were taking so much time just to check the small village. "Hmm, they seem like on the way back here. AH!" Victor who''s checking the location of his golems by sensing them suddenly cried out. Kim Shin frowned at the sudden cry of Victor then he asked, "What happened old man?" "One of my golems just died...Urgh! Another one was killed by someone or something" Victor answered. Hearing Old Victor answer, Kim Shin quickly stood up. Then,"Let''s go find out what happened." He said as he immediately ran outside which hurriedly followed by the old man. ROAR! A loud roar could be heard at the distance when they got out of the wooden hut. "What is that?" Victor asked in worry after he heard the deafening scream that struck a fear in his heart. "I don''t know. Let''s go!" Kim Shin simply answered as he urged old Victor and rushed to the source of the roaring sound. Afterwards, they eventually arrived behind the village. And they could find Victor''s stone golem gripped on the neck by a white vicious humanoid monster. "Yeti?!" Kim Shin uttered as he frowned when he saw the 15 ft tall covered in long, white fur monster. The monster''s hands and feet are wide and flat. It''s eyes are icy blue while it claws, and flesh are ivory white. They really looked like an ape with a thick and white fur. But what''s different was the twisted horn of the yeti. "If there''s a yeti here, then it means there''s a nearby mountain around here..." Kim Shin murmured in realization. Since, yeti are normally lived in a snowy mountain top. [Yeti Lv. 25] The yeti''s level showed up above it''s big head. "Are you ready to revenge for your golems, old man?" Kim Shin spoke with a smirked on his face towards the shocked Victor. "M-me? Of course!" Victor stuttered when he answered. The roar earlier made him fear the white monster as his heart beat wildly. "Then, come on!" Kim Shin spoke loudly as he immediately rushed at the white monster followed up by the hunch back old man. 62 Fifth Floor - III | Going Solo BOOM! Kim Shin immediately pushed his feet on the ground that increased his momentum as he rapidly arrived before the huge yeti that''s still clenching the neck of the stone golem with his right hand. "Old man, unsummon your golem." He hurriedly commanded Victor that still chasing behind him which unhesitatingly obeyed by the old man. Whoosh! The pitiful stone golem in the Yeti''s hand finally vanished. However, this act infuriated the ferocious monster. It roared deafeningly in anger, its prey suddenly gone. It tried to looked for his previous prey but what it found were two little human. Then, it locked its big icy blue eyes on the human who''s closest to him, as it thought that maybe this human was the cause why his prey vanished out of nowhere. The enraged Yeti growled thunderously then swung his right arm, sharp and huge claws downwards to Kim Shin. Whoosh! The speeding strike made a whooshing sound that almost cut the air and ''BOOM''. A booming sound echoed out as it also made a faint shock waves around the location of collision. Kim Shin timely defended the heavy assault of the furious Yeti that forced him to take a step back a bit. "Hmm. Not bad for a level 25 monster." He commented when he felt the mighty force behind the white monster strike. Then, he immediately take a single leaped and instantly reached the Yetis'' left leg, then without hesitation he swung his sword upwards from his left towards the thick leg of the monster with an intention to cripple the snow monster. However, the Yeti saw this and reflexively jumped back, successfully dodging Kim Shin''s sword strike. "Hoh, you''re agile for your size huh!" Kim Shin spoke as he didn''t mind how he missed his attack. Then, he looked back at Victor who''s seriously observing the fight and he said. "Old man, are you ready now? It''s your time to shine." "W-What? How could I fight that huge monster? H-hey wait!" Old Victor was dumbfounded at Kim Shin''s words as he also saw how Kim Shin Instantly escaped and vanished from the fight, running far at the distance. ROAR! "Damn! Merciless lad!." Victor darned in frustration when he saw that the Yeti''s gaze already locked on him. ''If I survive this I will beat that little demon into meat paste.'' He thought. ROAR!

The still irate white monster, flashy pounced towards Victor with its glaring icy blue eyes. Whoosh! BOOM! A loud explosion occurred as the ground shook strongly and caused a huge and thick fog after the Yeti heavily landed at Victor location. ------------------ Far in the distance, Kim Shin smile roguishly when he heard the loud commotion where he left the old man. Although, he accompanied the old man for just a single day, Kim Shin knew that the old man won''t die by just fighting a Yeti. In those times they fought a battle, he never saw the old man fight an all out battle. Although he defeated the old man, he''s certain that old Victor still have few tricks hidden in his sleeves. Actually, Kim Shin was thinking where to go or what to do after they end up in a snowy place. However, he really doesn''t have any idea. So, when he saw the Yeti, he instantly made up his mind. He unhesitatingly left the old man alone but for a good reason. Since, the place where he''s heading at was a nice place to grind level but could be dangerous as well. He doesn''t want the old man to die because of his orders. He won''t be able to forgive himself if old Victor died because of him. Although, if someone knew his decision, they will think he just want all the experience and rare items for himself, nevertheless, he doesn''t care at all as long as he have good reason to move alone. Also, if he really got all the rare items there, they can''t change the fact that he acquired all of it without someone help but just by his own power. After a couple of minute of full speed running, Kim Shin finally saw a huge snowy mountain in the distance that pierced the thick and white clouds. ''Found yah!'' He exclaimed excitedly. He couldn''t wait any longer after he saw the chilly mountain then without thinking twice; he rushed at full speed towards the mountain. Afterwards, Kim Shin eventually arrived at the foot of the snow mountain. Looking up from this distance, he couldn''t help but exclaimed when he realized that he couldn''t see the tip of the mountain which hiding up high in the sky. "It''s pretty high¡­" He commented in amazement as he then advanced forward. Whoosh! He''s black robe flapped wildly as he rushed with almost a speed of a bullet. Then, out of nowhere, a huge boulder came crushing towards him. BOOM! But with Kim Shin''s flexibility, he smoothly dodged the falling boulder then it heavily smashed on the snowy ground at his previous location that shook the ground and caused a huge cold fog. "Who the heck threw that thing to me?" Kim Shin bellowed loudly as he looked around. However, he couldn''t find anyone around him. "Don''t tell me, that boulder have its own life and came crushing on me by itself?" Kim Shin jokingly murmured. However, amidst of his mumbling, Kim Shin suddenly sense a quick incoming attack from above him. Then as he looked up, he found another big boulder falling down directly to him which he immediately avoided. "What the fuck?" He cursed in annoyance. Then, he looked up where the boulder came from and there, a number of white yetis could be seen standing at the thick branches of the tall trees. "Damn, white monkey!" He spoke in a voice full of frustration. How could he fight them, if they are in those high and tall trees? Whoosh! Another boulder was thrown again on him but this time it was followed up by two more boulders. Fortunately, the thrown boulders weren''t too fast and he avoided it without difficulty. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! When the boulders slammed on the ground, Kim Shin yelled in irritation."Wait for me till I found a way to shoot you guys down!" He screamed out, he couldn''t accept to be played with just a bunch of monkeys. Then, he looked around at his surroundings hoping to find anything he could throw to those idiots. And when Kim Shin''s gaze landed on the boulders on the ground, he couldn''t help but to raised the corner of his mouth. 63 Fifth Floor - IV BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! When the boulders slammed on the ground, Kim Shin yelled in irritation."Wait for me till I found a way to shoot you guys down!" He screamed out, he couldn''t accept to be played with just a bunch of monkeys. Then, he looked around at his surroundings hoping to find anything he could throw to those idiots. And when Kim Shin''s gaze landed on the boulders on the ground, he couldn''t help but to raised the corner of his mouth. "Hehehe.." He laughed evilly in his mischievous idea. Then, with a quick action, he activated his pseudo dragon body and immediately run towards the closest boulder at his front, and he effortlessly lifted up the 3ft round boulder with a weight of almost 7 tons as his claws dig deeper in the boulder. "This is good.." Kim Shin spoke as he looked at boulder on his right hand as if he''s not holding a 7 tons heavy boulder, then he looked at the Yeti''s on the top of the tall trees and he yelled, "It''s my turn, go die motherfuckers!" Whoosh! With a loud scream he strongly threw the heavy boulder straight to the yetis that mockingly looked at him, they scorn at Kim Shin''s ambition to shoot them down with his small physique. However, contrary at their assumptions the boulder that the human threw was quickly approaching them. "Gragh! Gragh!" One of the Yetis screamed out in panic when he saw the impending danger and was about to run away from it. However, the boulder that Kim Shin''s thrown was so quick that it''s impossible to escape from it. BOOOOM! "Guuuaaaaghkk¡­" An agonizing screech reverberated when the boulder slammed the single yeti and continued straight to the thick trunk that shook that massive tree. Ding! [You''ve defeated the Yeti] Hearing the result of his first shot, Kim Shin couldn''t help but grin at the death that waiting for those white monkeys. "Hehehe. Run for your lives monkeys! Run as long as there are ground to stepped on.." Kim Shin grimly said while holding two boulders on his both hands as he looked at the terrified and enrages face of the yetis. Whoosh! Whoosh! "Graaaghhhh!!! Graaaagh!!!" The Yetis screamed in panic and horror as they climb and leaped on the different trees. The Yetis are actually running from their single and little prey. Who is the real monster now? Is that little human or them? Kim Shin followed those escaping yetis while picking up every boulder that they dropped as they ran in panicked. ---------------------------- Huff! Huff! Kim Shin gasped for air after he ran for almost hour, chasing those white monkeys on this cold and steeped terrain of the snow-white mountain. The terrain and the cold air rapidly consumed his stamina. It would be extremely difficult to climb the mountain if he didn''t find anything warmer than his current jacket. After a few moments, Kim Shin eventually able to calmed his rugged breathing, then he approached the yeti''s corpse few feet away from him which he just killed after he stopped chasing the escaping yetis and if he counted right he killed a total of six yeti while the other yetis managed to escaped. Reaching the big corpse of the Yeti, Kim Shin put his hand on the monster''s body and was about to Soul Cleave the white monkey. However, the system suddenly rang out. Ding! [Do you want to soul cleave this corpse?] [Do you want to dismantle this corpse?] ''Hmm? Why there are two choices?'' He thought after he read the words appeared before his eyes. Since, this is the first time he was about to attempt cleaving monster''s corpse. He don''t know what the meaning of this two choices. Kim Shin contemplated for a few moments and eventually made up a decision. [Do you want to soul cleave this corpse?] ''Yes!'' Whoosh! A dark violet aura immediately shrouded the yeti''s corpse then a few second later the black small energy pierced through his temple which caused a pain that quickly sucked by the mortiss pendant. After that the corpse of the huge monster suddenly disintegrated into a particle of lights which astonished Kim Shin. "Wha?!" He uttered as he saw the particle of lights finally fade away. ''How could this be? So, I won''t be able to get any item from monsters corpse after I soul cleaved them?'' He thought in realization and disappointment. Since, he also couldn''t soul cleave the monster after he dismantled them because he knew that they will also vanished in a particle of lights like what just happened. Realizing this, Kim Shin head suddenly ached in frustration. "Everything always have a limitations, heavens won''t be so generous to give someone that something could be consider as a cheat¡­" He murmured as he heaved a sighed in enlightenment. ''Anyway, it''s still better to have this skill. All I need to do now is to pick the right choice if I should soul cleave or dismantle a monster corpse'' He thought. Standing at the same position, Kim Shin looked at the distance where the Yetis ran and turned to look at behind him where the other corpses of yetis are lying down. He thought for a moment, if should he continue and follow the yetis or dismantle the corpses first. Finally, he made a decision, must better to dismantle those corpse first. Since, dismantling them could give him a chance to acquire something to coat himself from the coldness of the place.

Victor thought while gasping for air and sitting on the top of a white huge corpse of the yeti he just killed. He able to killed the big monster with some tricks under his sleeves. Of course, with some penalty. ''I hope that he could come back safely..'' Victor Sins concernedly thought as he looked at the distance where Kim Shin ran through. "Damn! If I see him in a bad condition after he got back, I will beat him to death!" The old man grumbled. 64 Fifth Floor - V Ding! [You''ve obtained Yeti''s Fluffy Long Coat] [You''ve obtained Yeti''s Meat x 2] The system prompted after he dismantled the last yeti''s corpse. After dismantling the six corpses, Kim Shin obtained a total of 12 Yeti''s meat and 3 Yeti''s fluffy coat which really valuable for his situation. He could advance much comfortable now, with the help of yeti''s fluffy coat and also he doesn''t need to eat dried food this time, which honestly lifted his mood. He want to eat something more tasty, after he ate dried foods for the past few days which really had no fucking taste at all. Then, he looked at the coat information. [Yeti''s Fluffy Long Coat] Grade: Common Type: Overcoat Additional + 20% Cold resistance Additional + 10% Defense Additional + 2 Constitution Additional + 5 Agility After he saw the information, Kim Shin unequipped his long black robe and the animal pelt jacket. Although, it''s not that good since it''s only a common grade item. This is much better than using the impaired black robe and the not so warm animal pelt. Whoosh! The black robe and animal pelt jacket immediately disappeared, and a new long white coat with a white slick fur on the collar of it appeared and already equip on Kim Shin''s body. Finally, Kim Shin felt warmer than earlier, which he still could feel the piercing cold brought by the occasionally blowing wind despite wearing the black robe and animal pelt on the top of it. "Wow, this is fashionable and truly unexpected to get from those monkeys." He commented after he saw the long coat and felt the fluffy fur on his nape. [Yeti''s Meat] Grade: Rare Type: Ingredient ? The meat of yeti is a rare ingredient, because eating this will give a person who ate this with resistance to cold for a given time. It will depend on how it was cooked. If it cooked by a high level chef, then the duration effect of the meat will increase. "Nice, this is really good, a meat with cold resistance, great!" He exclaimed in ecstasy. It''s was already a surprise to obtained a meat and now it also have a buff effect which absolutely helpful in this place. After that, Kim Shin looked up in the sky. He really wondered what kind of person that built this tower. How could he make a different dimension in this tower? It felt like, this tower have its own world. Then, he looked at the distance where the Yetis ran to. It''s up in the mountain; he''s curious on what waiting for him up there. ''I won''t know it unless I reach it!'' He thought, and then he continued on his path once again. --------------------------- The fangs of the cold wind ripped at Kim Shin''s coat. He braced against the onslaught, shouldering into the snow blizzard with fierce determination. Although, he was surprised at the sudden change of the weather, he still didn''t stop from advancing even if the fierce winds blast him. Fortunately, he''s hard work finally paid off. He found a small opening few feet away from him. He''s sure it''s a cave even though it''s small. Surely, after he arrived at the small opening, Kim Shin shoved away the snow that blocking the cave entrance. After a few moments. Kim Shin could be seen sitting in a cross-legged position on the green sleeping bag near the burning bonfire he made. The blizzard outside the cave was still severe, he was surprised after he reached the approximately 10,000 ft of the mountain, the weak snow fall suddenly greatly changed. He doesn''t know if the weather will weaken tomorrow. Hence, without anything he could do, Kim Shin took out a piece of meat of the yeti. The fresh meat was almost 50 pounds. ''How should I cook this?'' He thought in frustration. Whew~ "Nevermind.." Kim Shin muttered. Then, he took out his long sword, and with a smooth and precise movements, he cut the meat in five pieces. Then, he barbecued the meat with his sword and he put it over the fire which made a delicious aroma after a few minutes. "It''s smell delicious!" He exclaimed in amazement. This is the first time he cooked a meat of yeti. Yes, he lived in the Yggdrasil for eight years. But, he never tried eaten a Yeti''s meat. Kim Shin drooled in excitement. He never had a tasty food for a few days, now that a delicious food was before him. He couldn''t control himself anymore and was about to take a big bite. However, a loud screeching sound echoed out outside the cave where Kim Shin is. "What the heck is it now? I''m just going to eat, please don''t spoil my dinner." He grumbled in annoyance. Instead of getting scared, Kim Shin only felt a full annoyance. THUD! THUD! BOOM! BOOM! A sudden explosion shook the cave as if someone targeting the cave entrance which blocked by a few rocks that Kim Shin made after he got in. "Damn! Who the fuck is that?!" Kim Shin quickly stood up and about to walk outside. However, the rocks that blocking the entrance finally gave up and blasted away by a powerful explosion.

A huge white bear was glaringly standing at the cave entrance which surprised Kim Shin. "Does polar bear know how to screech like a bird now?" Kim Shin thought in bafflement. Then suddenly, SCREEEECH! A loud screech rang out once more. However, this time, Kim Shin clearly heard it. It''s not from the white bear but seems like up in the sky. "Oh come on! Are you guys telling me that I''m not the only who''s hungry here?" Kim Shin spoke in full of aggravation. ''This is my food, what the heck they doing here? Do you guys think I''m having a food party or barbecue party huh?'' ROOOOOOAR! The big white bear roared in hunger after it confirmed that the food it smelled was really coming from here. 65 Fifth Floor- VI ROOOOOOAR! The big pale white bear roared in hunger after it confirmed that the food it smelled was really coming from here. Then, it excitedly dashed towards Kim Shin with its huge and heavy body. However, it was surprisingly swift. BOOM! BOOM! The ground and cave faintly shook as the white bear advanced with an intention to tackle the little human at its front. [Dire Polar Bear Lv.25] Kim Shin watched the fuming icy blue eyes of the 4-meter dire polar bear as it rushed to him. "What the fuck you''re angry for? I''m supposed to be the angry here since you guys ruined my dinner." He couldn''t help but to spoke in uttered bafflement. ''You want to eat me? Then come and get me!'' Kim Shin thought and then he activated his pseudo dragon body that immediately covered his arms. ROAR! When the dire polar bear was 5 feet away from him it suddenly leaped and widely opened its mouth, and was about to gnaw Kim Shin to death. However, Kim Shin reflexively took a stepped back and successfully evaded the big maw of the dire polar bear which bite nothing but air. Although, Kim Shin dodged the first assault, the polar bear didn''t give up that easy. It quickly followed up a right strike of his long and sharp black claws to Kim Shin, which Kim Shin blocked by raising his left arm. Then, the dire polar bear, with another roar threw another strike to Kim Shin with its left arm that smoothly blocked once again by Kim Shin''s right dragon arm. BOOM! BOOM! The collision caused weak shock waves and made Kim Shin''s feet sink a bit on the snowy ground. Nonetheless, Kim Shin still wore a smirk on his grim face. Then, he mumbled."If you''re going to rob me, make sure you have power to achieve your impossible ambition." After uttering that, Kim Shin did a back flip, when he saw the bloodcurdling fangs was about to crunch him but not without a counter attack, he leave a heavy kick on its huge chin. BOOM! "Graorrr¡­." It growled in pain after Kim Shin caught it by surprise. Then, the dire polar bear crouched and without a notice, the dire polar bear pale white fur suddenly become long and spiky same with its already long claws turned much lengthier and sharper. ROAR! It stood on its feet and released and deafening roar that shook the cold cave with the blasting air from its widely opened mouth. ''Damn! Are you guys really wanted me to become deaf eh?!'' Kim Shin thought as he shake his head left and right, clearing his mind and buzzing ears. Once the dire polar bear done roaring, it crouched again his huge body and unhesitatingly dashed towards Kim Shin as if not caring about what might happen to itself. Stomp! Stomp!

Then, Kim Shin gracefully turned left when he''s about to hit by the dire polar bear big head. BOOOOM! The cave heavily shook by the powerful tackle of dire polar bear that successfully and solidly hit the cold and rough wall of the cave. "HAHAHA" Kim Shin laughed his ass out while clapping his hands with satisfaction. He could see a virtual twinkling and circling star around the head of the dire polar bear. Then, the dire polar bear slumped and fell unconscious on the cold icy ground with debris on the bear head. "Haha. It''s so hilarious!"Kim Shin continued to laugh as he wiped away the tears on the corner of his eyes. ''Now, that I''m done with this one. Then, let me see who''s up in the air.'' He thought and cautiously walked out of the cave which still has a wild blizzard that can freeze normal human. Khuuuuaaaaaak! A long and loud screeched echoed around after Kim Shin finally got out of the cave. As, he looked up in the sky, he could only saw a blue figure that quickly moving around the wild blizzard which apparently not affected by the blizzard even a bit. ''What is that?'' He thought as he slit his eyes and knitted his brows to carefully look at the flying creature. However, he still couldn''t see it clearly because of the thick fog and blizzard. ''It seems like it doesn''t have any intention to go inside the cave..'' He guessed inwardly. Then, he didn''t bother the flying creature anymore and get back inside the cave, where he continued to eat the food he left. Afterwards, the unconscious dire polar bear eventually woke up and it confusedly looked around it. Then, the dire polar bear landed its gaze on the human it fought earlier. Kim Shin also dumbfounded at the sudden situation as he locked his eyes on the dire polar bear. He didn''t expect that bear will suddenly wake up. He thought, he already killed the monster. Then, after quietly staring at each other for 5 seconds, they screamed in surprised and took a few steps backward at the same time. "WAHHH!!!" "RWAARR!!!" Then, silence once again filled the surroundings. "Whoa, what are you shouting for? I''m the one who should be surprise and not you!" Kim Shin spoke loudly. He couldn''t believe that this monster was also startled by his presence, which replied by a furious roar of the dire polar bear. "Raawrrrr¡­roarrr!!!" It roared as if retorting that ''Why I couldn''t be surprise huh?!'' "Wha-"Kim Shin gaped in shocked. He was astonished that this monster was seems like talking to him. "What did you say?"He asked one more time to make sure that the dire polar bear really can understand what his saying. Then, the dire polar incredibly and unbelievably replied with a roar once again."Roooarrr.. roaaar?" "You r-really can understand me?" He asked again because he still couldn''t believe at all. Then, the dire polar bear slowly nod its big head and then suddenly roar which jolted Kim Shin. ROAR! "W-wait, what are you roaring for huh?" Kim Shin stutteringly questioned. The dire polar bear glared at Kim Shin. Then, out of nowhere. A faint growl rang out which astonished Kim Shin once again as he looked at the source of the sound. Naturally, it came from the dire polar bear that''s embarrassedly looking downward. 66 Fifth Floor - VII ROAR! "W-wait, what are you roaring for huh?" Kim Shin stutteringly questioned. The dire polar bear glared at Kim Shin. Then, out of nowhere. A faint growl rang out which astonished Kim Shin once again as he looked at the source of the sound. Naturally, it came from the dire polar bear that''s embarrassedly looking downward. "Woah! You''re seriously hungry ah?" Kim Shin spoke with a teasing smile while looking at the awkward dire polar bear. Then, Kim Shin looked beside him where the bonfire and spotted some fried meat of Yeti that he didn''t finish to eat earlier. He looked back and forth at the awkward polar bear, and the fried meat. Then, he grabbed his sword which impaled the Yeti''s barbecue meat. "Do you want to eat this?" He asked while showing the Yeti''s meat to the dire polar bear which made the hungry bear icy eyes brightly lit up. Seeing the bright eyes of the previously ferocious monster, Kim Shin couldn''t believe if his dreaming. "You can have it, but please don''t bother me." He said as he tossed the fried meat to the dire polar bear which immediately devoured by the hungry monster. Then, he sat back on his sleeping bag and closed his eyes, and about to meditate. However, he felt a faint tugged on his head. ''Hmm'' curiously opening his left eye, Kim Shin was shocked at the big grinning face of the dire polar bear that so closed at him. "Wha! What do you want?" He questioned confusedly which replied by sticking tongue of the white polar bear. Then, he looked around to find the meat he just gave to this monster. However, he failed to found it. "Do you want more?" Kim Shin asked and quickly answered by cutely nodding polar bear. Phew~ He sighed in defeat after he saw the cute act of the monster. Then, he eventually brought out another piece of Yeti''s meat. Thump! The big meat fell heavily on the ground. "Go, eat! Now, please stop bothering me!" He immediately closed his eyes after saying that. However, he could feel the intense stare of the dire polar bear. So, he opened his eyes to know what this monster looking at. "What''s the matter?" Kim Shin asked in confusion. He doesn''t know what is wrong. Why this dire polar bear not eating the meat he gave. Then, the dire polar bear looked at the burning bonfire then back again at the meat on the ground. Kim Shin saw this and accurately understood what the meaning of that looks. He helplessly smiled and asked the bear for confirmation."Do you want me to cook it for you?" Nod! Nod! The dire polar bear hurriedly nodded its big head. "You''re pretty demanding huh?" Kim Shin spoke with twitching smile. Phew~ Eventually, Kim Shin heaved a sighed in defeat, feeling loss at this demanding creature. "Okay, okay. But please don''t bother me anymore after this." Afterwards, silence filled the cave. The dire polar bear could be seen lying on the ground deeply sleeping and occasionally releasing a cold blowing air from its nostrils, while Kim Shin, on the other hand was still on the cross-legged position, meditating in a relax motion. Then, Kim Shin suddenly stopped his rhythmic breathing and opened his eyes, just to found the snoring glutton dire polar bear. "This is really unusual." Kim Shin muttered. Although, there will be a pet system on Yggdrasil that enable the person to understand his pet or mount. However, that''s because of the system that they could understand each other, while this unusual monster could understand him without the help of the system. After that, Kim Shin also lied down on his sleeping bag. Since, he still couldn''t go out because of the still ongoing blizzards which occasionally brought a piercing howl. The next day, Kim Shin woke up with something fluffy hugging him. Looking at the thing that hugging him from his behind. He found the cute dire polar bear sweetly sleeping. Then, it suddenly opened its huge maw, yawning and stretching its aching body. Then, it looked at Kim Shin with a weak roar. ROAR! "Oh! Good morning!" Kim Shin subconsciously replied as if he understood the simple roar of the dire polar bear. ''Hmm, how could I understand this glutton?'' He thought in confusion. Then, he shook his head off, brushing away this line of thought. Tap! Tap! Kim Shin immediately stood up from his position and rushed outside the cave. Then, a blinding light landed on his face that made him to close his eyes. Finally, he managed to open his eyes once again and what showed to him was a bright and full of white snow scenery. The heavy weather was finally lifted and he could advance once again. ROAR! A loud roar echoed out behind him as if calling him. Then, Kim Shin looked behind him and found the seriously looking dire polar bear that slowly walking towards him. Kim Shin then helplessly smiled at the dire polar bear. Even though he''s not too familiar with this monster, he could feel that this bear was an intelligent and sweet monster unlike other creatures on Yggdrasil and it''s sad to leave this kind of monster. Since, the tutorial doesn''t have pet system yet. "I''m sorry big guy, seems like this is the time to part our ways." Kim Shin softly said as he caressed the white slick fur on the dire polar bear head. ROAR!

"Then, farewell big guy!" Kim Shin turned back while waving his right hand after he said that. However before he could walk far away he heard something behind him. Awoooo! "Eh?!" Kim Shin exclaimed after he heard the whimpering cried released by the Polar Bear and when he''s about to turned back a huge thing suddenly tackle as he fell on the ground. "Whaaaa ¨C"Kim Shin cried out in surprise. SLURP! SLURP! Then, someone licked all over his face. "Whoa! Whoa! Stop!" Kim Shin uttered as he pushed the huge tongue that licking his face. ROAR! "Big guy, what are you doing?" Kim Shin asked after he managed to stop the big white bear. Awooo! ''Bring me with you'' "What? I need to leave now. I can''t keep you." Kim Shin replied. Awooo! ''Please, bring me with you.

Kim laughed in satisfaction, which replied with a faint roar of the white dire speeding polar bear. At first, he''s quite hesitant to bring the dire polar bear. Especially, when he knew that this bear would only be a deadweight for him. However, he''s greatly wrong about it. This guy, teddy, after he learned that he''s a male bear, he also gave it a common name for a stuff toy creature like this fluffy bear. Yea, and what''s important is Teddy weren''t a deadweight at all. With Teddy''s speed and strength, Kim Shin effortlessly slayed and escaped from monsters that just wasting their time. Now, they were currently rushing through the valley of the icy snow mountaintop. In this height, Kim Shin could occasionally hear a cry of some winged creature wandering up in the foggy sky. Furthermore, the heavy and cold wind, which different from blizzard still sometimes pierced his human body. Whoosh~ Kim Shin hair blew by the passing air as they advanced with a nimble movement speed. ''The weather felt surprisingly nice...''He thought as he spread his both arms like a bird and closed his eyes, feeling the breezing cold wind. Then, Kim Shin opened his eyes, looking around him. He found that they were running on a narrow cliff. He doesn''t know how high their currently location, but he''s certain that, he''s still far away from the top of the mountain. Then, he looked at the quick running and leaping Teddy. "Teddy, where are we heading?" Kim Shin confusedly asked when he saw the serious expression on Teddy''s bear. However, as if it doesn''t hear him. Teddy still wore a serious look and increased its speed. ''What''s wrong with him?'' He thought. Still, he didn''t bother the serious polar bear anymore until it stopped running. Afterwards, Kim Shin could see, in the distance, a couple of huge igloos built on the steep snowy ground. However, it seems like something is happening. As they got closer, Kim Shin finally heard a few panic cries and loud screeching from above the igloos. And, after a few seconds, Kim Shin and Teddy finally arrived before the towering Iglo''s village that almost on the verge of being ruined. SCREECH! A piercing screech echoed, which replied with a deafening roar. ROAR! Hearing that roar, Teddy suddenly turned to blur and flashed to the source of the sound. BOOM! A powerful wind like a tornado hit and destroyed the igloos. ''What''s happening?'' With that question in mind, Kim Shin immediately followed behind the rushing Teddy. Whoosh~ BOOM! The ground heavily shook as the explosion rang through the village of Igloos. Experiencing the tremor, Kim Shin increased his pace. Then, when he arrived at the location and source of the loud explosions. Kim Shin saw an eight meter tall white bear with the hint of stripe black on its colossal body, Facing a 6 meter white tailed eagle, which''s circling and flying around above the white huge bear. ''A fight with both monsters?'' Kim Shin thought and he found Teddy not far from him, watching the fight anxiously. Kim Shin couldn''t help but thought. ''Is that bear is his father or mother?'' However, he wouldn''t know it if he doesn''t ask the anxious dire polar bear. Then, suddenly a loud flapping sound of the wings reverberated. Flap! Flap! Whoosh. The flapping wings released a thin twin tornado from its both wings towards the eight meter tall white with black stripes'' polar bear. ROAR! The big bear roared furiously as it unhesitatingly swung its huge blue claws straight to the speeding tornado. SWISH~ After that, out of nowhere, a black lightning appeared on the huge claws of the bear, and then it strongly collided at the first tornado. BOOM! CRACK! The big bear didn''t stop its attack. It strikes the tornado with its left arm that also released a black lightning which stopped and vanished the tornado. BOOM! CRACK! ''What are these monsters level?!'' Kim Shin thought in shocked. Why they are fighting? For what reason? And how could they be so powerful? Is this really a tutorial stage? Kim Shin couldn''t think straight now. He was obviously so hooked and focused on the fight of two powerful monsters. Watching at the distance, Kim Shin silently looked at the red words above the two monsters head. [Elite White - Tailed Ferocious Eagle Lv.??] [Elite Scavenger Striped Bear Lv.??] "Fuck!" Kim Shin couldn''t help himself but to cussed in surprised. He was utterly dumbfounded at the information appeared on the monster''s head. It''s two elite boss type monsters and high level at that. How could Kim Shin stand or interject in the middle of that elite rank boss monsters battle? ''As long as anyone of them died, I will soul cleave it immediately!'' Kim Shin thought as his expression turned dead serious. Although, he was excited and really looking forward at what might happen in this fight, he still couldn''t be careless, after all, both of these two elite rank boss monsters, could kill him without so much effort. Then, as he focused on the battle. Kim Shin saw that the circling huge ferocious eagle screech for a second then rapidly doved down towards the huge striped bear. BOOM! A loud explosion boomed out as it caused a strong shockwave around the collision and big and thick foggy snow. Afterwards, when the snow lifted up, the Scavenger Striped Bear could be seen weakly lying on the ground. However, it wasn''t alone. The White - Tailed Ferocious Eagle also lying on the ground in a toasted condition which faintly releasing a smoke as if it got over toasted. Then, Teddy who''s anxiously watching the fight couldn''t stop himself anymore. It ran towards his kin who''s already one step away from the death door. ROAR! Awooo! ''Mom!'' Teddy, hurriedly dashed beside it''s dying mom and sadly whimpered. Seeing this, Kim Shin doesn''t have any strength to Soul Cleave at this time. Knowing that his friend would certainly grieve later for his mother. 68 Fifth Floor - IX | I love you. Farewell Awooo! Teddy released a heartbreaking howl filled with grief and Kim Shin could feel it, he''s also sad for his friend''s loss. However, that is it. A dead being couldn''t be brought back to life again. No matter what, everyone will eventually face this kind of situation; it''s up to that person how should they handle this kind of agonizing moment. Nevertheless, this kind of experience is what made a person to be strong, to be someone better version of them in the future. Experiencing this kind of situation will greatly change a person life it could be good and sometimes bad. Fortunately, Kim Shin was here for his friend, Teddy. He could guide him on the best path. ''This also the best for Teddy'' Kim Shin thought. Although, it may a little awful to be happy for the loss of his friend, it still greatly helps Teddy to strive to be stronger. Since, Kim Shin doesn''t need some dead-weight on his road. He''s path will going to be surely hard and weaklings will just slow his process. BOOM! A loud black thunder suddenly strike after Teddy''s tear jerking howled that jolted Kim Shin out of his deep thoughts. Then, Kim Shin''s gaze landed on Teddy and his dying mother. When suddenly the dying Scavenger Striped Bear began to lit up brightly with few electrifying black energy dancing around its huge body. Kim Shin attentively watched the magical event. The dying mother caressed the big face of her son with a faint smile on her bloody face as they talked to each other. Awoo¡­''Mom¡­'' ''Don''t be sad, son. Mommy is going to be fine. I could see that you finally made a friend huh¡­'' Awooo¡­ Hearing the words of his mother, Teddy couldn''t help but to howled once again. He''s blaming himself for being weak that he couldn''t help his mom even if he wanted to. The result for being weakling was the early death of your loved one''s that you couldn''t protect. ''Don''t worry son. I could feel that the friend of yours is a good person. After mommy leave, I want you to leave with your friend, run away from this prison, and tried to look for your father. Could you promise me that?'' At those words, Teddy couldn''t stop his tears anymore, it flow like a falls on to his mother face. Awooo! woo! Teddy cried like a baby with his mother''s last wish. ''Son, could you?'' Mother Bear gently asked. Awoo! ''I promise!'' Teddy answered forcefully with a nod while his tears continue flowing out of his icy blue eyes. ''Then, before I leave, mommy has a gift for you.'' Whoosh~ After saying those words, the electrifying aura that shrouding Mother Bear''s body suddenly sucked in to a single place on her right paw. Teddy watched this supernatural performance of his mother with widened eyes. ''Son, always remember that mommy will forever be in your heart, forever protecting you and forever love''s you.'' Mother Bear spoke as she poked her right paw on Teddy''s temple. Then, the electrifying aura on Scavenger Striped Bear right paw was sucked and pierced through Teddy''s temple. ROOOOAR!

Since, he knew what''s happening on Teddy. Bloodline Evolution. It was a sole skill that only boss monsters could use to their own kin. By using their own bloodline and life essence, they could forcefully advance the level of a target monsters bloodline that deeply hidden in its body. It was really a magical. However, the penalty was also tremendous. Using their bloodline and life essence will weaken the user and eventually going to die. ROAR! While Teddy continued on roaring in pain, Teddy''s mother body slowly turned to a particle of white lights which obviously dried up its lifespan and about to vanish. Sensing that her time was about to end, Teddy''s mother slowly looked behind her towards the human friend of her son. Kim Shin also looked straightly at Teddy''s mother who''s clearly smiling on him. ''Young man, I hope you could take care of my son and you don''t need to worry, if you found his father you will be greatly compensated.'' A telepathic voice was directly sent in his mind, which he clearly heard. At first, Kim Shin thought that this Teddy''s mother was a really kind monster. However, when he heard the final words, he couldn''t help but shake his head. ''Monsters are always monsters. They couldn''t hide their prideful attitude despite on the verge of dying condition.'' He thought. Nevertheless, Kim Shin only nodded his head in response. He doesn''t want to argue with a dying monster. Seeing the response of the human, Teddy''s mother then looked at her roaring son. ''I love you, son. Farewell.'' With those last words and sweet smile, Teddy''s mother, eventually vanished and fades away into nothingness. Whooosh! ROOOOOAR! As if he''s also saying goodbye to his mother, Teddy released a piercing howl that reverberated for a couple of meters away. Eventually, after a couple of minutes of roaring, Teddy fell unconscious on the snowy cold ground. Kim Shin slowly advanced towards the unconscious teddy. Although, he knew what Teddy experienced. However, he couldn''t find anything different on Teddy''s physique. "Did I guess it wrong?" Kim Shin confusedly asked himself. ''But, I''m absolutely certain that it was a force bloodline evolution'' He thought and he tried to looked all over teddy''s body once again. Still, he really couldn''t find anything noticeable that change from this dire polar bear body. ''Sigh¡­ nevermind. It''s much better to Soul Cleave this white tailed eagle corpse while Teddy is deeply asleep.'' 69 Fifth Floor - X | Electro Scavenger Bear Kim Shin slowly approached the overcooked White-Tailed Ferocious Eagle which still leaking a line of smoke towards the sky. ''What a pitiful bird'' He thought when he saw the condition of the almost fried chicken monster. "How many volts did Teddy''s Mother could release to toast this bird in this look?" Kim Shin murmured and questioned himself. ''And how they got here inside the different dimension of the tower?'' He has a lot of question in his mind right now but he couldn''t answer anything of it yet. So, he shook his head left and right, and focused his attention to the corpse of eagle. ''Now, I hope I don''t regret my decision after Soul Cleaving this monster, instead of dismantling..'' He thought then he closed his dark blue eyes and silently activated ''Soul Cleave''. Whoosh~ Dancing dark violet aura appeared on his right hand and without thinking twice. He reached his hand towards the ferocious eagle corpse. Kim Shin expression is dead serious. This is the culprit why his friend''s mother died. Whoosh! The dark violet aura shrouding his right hand leaped and covered the entire body of eagle''s corpse. After a minute, the black energy lights leaked out from the monster''s corpse that float in the air for a few second before it pierced through Kim Shin''s temple. Whoosh! ''Ugh!'' The pain immediately hit him. Fortunately, he got the mortiss pendant which he''s truly thankful for Malkthanem gift. If, he didn''t have it, he doesn''t know what might happen to him to the constant pain he would feel by Soul Cleaving.

"Another life saving skill though for a certain situation only, but still, it''s good to have this!" Kim Shin muttered. Even though he doesn''t need this skill right now, no one could say that he won''t need this for later. What if, out of nowhere he fell from a tall cliff? So, it''s really valuable! Anything that could be a life saving skill is priceless! Everyone only have a single life! So, treasure it and grabbed anything which could save your life from danger that may come. After cleaving the corpse of the eagle, it also became particle of lights that fade away through the thin air. Then, Kim Shin looked at the sleeping Teddy and without anything to do. Since, he couldn''t leave behind his friend who''s entrusted to him by his friend''s mother, began to drag his friend inside the almost ruined towering Igloo. Afterwards, Kim Shin who''s silently meditating heard a rustle then he opened his left eye and looked towards Teddy who''s lying on the ground. Rustle! "Grrr.." Teddy growled as he slowly woke up and stood up his huge body. "Good morning, Teddy." Kim Shin nonchalantly greeted the new awoken dire polar bear.

''Awoo..goo-morning'' Then, as if his mind just cleared up, teardrops started to fell from the corner of his big icy blue eyes. Awooo! ''Mooooom!'' Teddy howled that filled with sadness. Even though, he''s roaring in pain earlier, he actually could hear everything his mother said to him. This is the first time for him to felt this kind of pain. Yes, he got physically hurt for an uncountable times and he endured it every time. He never cried before, but this pain of losing his only family member he knew. He couldn''t stop himself from shedding tears. Kim Shin slowly approached his weeping friend, although he doesn''t have a mother before. At least, he knew the pain of losing someone you loved. Tap! Tap! Kim Shin gently caressed the back of his friend. Awoo! "Teddy, I''m sorry for your loss. Though, you just lost your mother, don''t forget that you still have a father out there that waiting and looking for you. Also, don''t worry. I will help you to find your father." He said. As, he comfort and assured his weeping friend. Hearing Kim Shin''s words, Teddy finally calmed down a bit. Then, he looked straightly at Kim Shin''s dark blue eyes. Awoo? ''Promise?'' Teddy asked. "Hahah. I promise!" Kim Shin giggled when he saw the look at Teddy''s eyes. Eventually, Teddy came back to his usual self as he licked Kim Shin''s face. "W-Wait, Teddy! Don''t you feel something different in your body?" Kim Shin questioned. He was really curious at what happened on Teddy''s Bloodline Evolution. Awoo?''Hmm?'' Teddy tilted his head cutely. Then he checked and felt his body and suddenly a electrifying aura leaked out his body. BOOM! ROAR! Teddy loudly roared in sudden increase of his strength. Kim Shin on the other hand watch this in amazement, he saw that Teddy''s physique was also got bigger. Teddy''s claws got longer, his slick fur became spiky and what''s more intimidating was the black sharp horn on Teddy''s head. ROAR!!! BOOM! Shock waves exploded out from Teddy that shook the area for a dozen of meters. [Electro Scavenger Bear Lv???] "What?! Mutant monster?" Kim Shin uttered in shocked. Because of different name on Teddy''s info. 70 Thagors Icy Lavender Manor - I Whoosh! Teddy and Kim Shin continued their journey on the mountaintop. After Teddy''s bloodline evolution, their speed became more rapid. Although, Teddy could activate his new power, he couldn''t handle his new power for a long time, the stamina and magic power consumption was on another level. So, he could only use it, if the situation really needed. Looking around their surroundings, Kim Shin could see and feel that they are already closer to the mountain top. Since, he could already feel the foggy sky the passing through them. The mountain has an approximately 9,000 meter height. The mountain top was piercing the white sky and they dashing in a circular 5 meter road verge, that if they misstep over the 5-meter zone they will surely gonna fall from this scary cliff. Fortunately, he have Teddy who''s used to climb this mountain. ''I hope I could find something good after all my effort to climb this shitty cold mountain'' He thought while looking upward on the top of the mountain. He doesn''t know what''s waiting for him up there. But, he wished that some clue about how to advance to the next floor. Given that they are already almost two days inside this fifth floor, he don''t know if someone already reach the ninth floor and about to step on the last floor. He''s slightly getting anxious. ''I should not worry about that for the time being.'' He thought as he shook his head. He need to focus more in the current situation. Whoosh! Teddy increased his speed and dashed like a rushing sports car. After an hour of fast paced running, Kim Shin and Teddy finally reached the mountain top, and were utterly amazed at scenery that welcomed them. The mountain top was a huge crater, a flat circular land like a volcano mouth, but with some green grass instead a full of ice area. It was because of the bright sunlight that shining down on the flat area of mountain top. Since, at this height, the sunlight wasn''t block by the thick fog and clouds. The area has a radius of approximately 0.5 kilometer around. And Kim Shin could see a huge purple manor at the distance before the edge of crater. Kim Shin looked down at his friend Teddy who also looked back at him. "Let''s go Teddy!" He said in a tranquil voice which immediately replied with a cute deep nod of Teddy''s white bear head. Whoosh! Quickly advancing, Kim Shin held tightly on the fluffy and slick white fur of Teddy. Now, that the last stage he was waiting for was already in the sight. Kim Shin, instead of being excited and nervous, felt more relaxed, he doesn''t know why. But, he could sense that, something nice was waiting for him inside the manor. **** Standing on the front of the massive door with two gigantic Corinthian pillars, Kim Shin could already felt the overwhelming icy cold air that leaking out of the massive dark purple door. He then looked at Teddy on his left who wore a serious expression on his huge face and Kim Shin couldn''t help to giggle at Teddy''s look. "Don''t worry buddy, I''m here. Nothing will happen to you. I promise." Kim Shin assured the cute bear who made a soft roar as a respond. "Then, let''s go buddy!" He continued as he tapped Teddy''s back then he took a single step and slowly pushed the massive door that made a creaking sound. Creak! Whoosh! The massive door was slowly opened as if the door hasn''t open for a very long time, at the same time an icy cold wind blew through them that made Teddy''s white fur dance with it while Kim Shin''s white fluffy long coat flutter wildly like wings of a flying bird. BOOOM! After the slow opening, the massive door eventually slammed heavily on the wall, signifying that the door was now widely open.

This place was perfect for figure skaters. Glassy polished ice and wide area if a figure skater saw this place, they will hundred percent surely going to love this place. Unfortunately, Kim Shin was not a figure skater. So, this wouldn''t be good for him. Looking around, there''s no one here except him and Teddy, and some flickering blue torch placed on the icy wall. However, Kim Shin could feel, that there''s something about to happen. And, of course, those senses of veterans in dungeon weren''t just for a joke. After a couple of seconds, the icy hall suddenly trembled. Tremble! Shake!

Teddy roared furiously while thinking ''You just howled at daddy''s face huh?'' Kim Shin on the other hand, watched Teddy''s childish attitude with a helpless smile on his face. "Teddy, don''t give them any mercy, kay?" Kim Shin said to Teddy. Teddy then answered with a affirmative nod and roar. ''I won''t!'' As they talked to each other, the winter wolves began to advance towards them with smooth and quick movements that easily ran the 40 meters distance between them. Awoo! The leading winter wolf released a loud howl and immediately leaped towards Kim Shin with a clear intention of reaping Kim Shin''s flesh with its ferocious sharp white fangs. Kim Shin, who saw this move of Winter Wolf suddenly, closed his eyes. Then, when he''s about to gnaw by the winter wolf that''s already before his eyes, Kim Shin calmly swung his long sword upward that appeared out of nowhere. Slash! Thud!

Teddy''s body was 6 ¨C meter length and 4 ¨C meters tall when he''s on all four. While the winter wolf physique was 4 ¨C meter length and 3 ¨C meters tall. Imagine with Teddy''s physique and agility like a speeding car. It was like a swift car didn''t stop his wheel but instead pressed on his gas and directly smashed on the motorbike which is the winter wolves. BOOM! BOOM! Teddy''s attacked forced the advancing winter wolves stopped on their movements but instead of preparing to assault once more they took a distance while showing their white fangs as they also softly growled. On the other hand, Kim Shin was also about to move. However, after he took his first step, he suddenly slid down on the polished ice ground that shook the place. BOOM! Tremble! "Argh!" Kim Shin cried in pain. This hilarious act of Kim Shin gained the attention of all the monsters in the surroundings. Teddy, who''s about to launch another attack, turned his head behind and he found Kim Shin, face on the ground. "Awoawaowoa!" Teddy whined seems like laughing at what happened to Kim Shin and as if saying. ''You were cool when you beheaded the winter wolf but what are you doing down there? Hahaha.'' Teddy continued to laugh while standing on his toes as he slammed his huge tummy bear with his huge paws. Hearing the loud laughter of Teddy, Kim Shin lips twitched in frustration. ''Why the heck this place is so slippery?'' He grumbled in filled of annoyance. "Damn!" Kim Shin darned as he pushed himself up. He then glared at the laughing bear. Sensing Kim Shin''s glare, Teddy stop himself from laughing then focused back on the fight as if nothing happened. ROAR! Kim Shin was utterly annoyed at the ridiculous act of Teddy. He then, backed his gaze at the winter wolves. Then, he looked down on his feet, as he visualize gathering magic power on his feet. Whoosh! Wild pale blue thin aura shrouded his both feet. ''Although, I''m not a mage or something on my previous life, I still know how to use my magic power!'' Kim Shin thought as he felt the lightness of his feet.

[You''ve defeated the Winter Wolf] System announced after he slayed the 15th Winter Wolf. Teddy looked dazedly at Kim Shin. This is the first time he saw how merciless Kim Shin when it comes on killing a bunch of ferocious monsters. Thankfully, he didn''t piss off Kim Shin, otherwise maybe his head was also rolling on the icy ground like those pitiful winter wolves. "Tsk. Weaklings¡­" Kim Shin muttered as he gazed at the winter wolves'' corpse on the icy ground. He then, approached Teddy."Hey! Are you alright?" He asked while waving his hand on the daze white bear. ROAR! ''I-I am fine!'' Teddy weakly answered. Kim Shin nodded in response and was about to dismantle the corpses. However the hall once again suddenly trembled. Trembling~ Kim Shin instantly knitted his eyebrows when he felt that something was coming. Then, the door where the winter wolves came out, once again opened. BOOM! A powerful and wild aura suddenly filled the atmosphere. Thud! A huge foot appeared out of the black door, then followed by another big wolf foot, and then a Bigger variant of Winter Wolf eventually came out. [Alpha Winter Wolf Lv.??] "The Alpha finally came out.." Kim Shin mumbled. And of course, they couldn''t be crowned as an alpha if they don''t have subordinates.

A winter wolf was grabbed and slammed by the neck onto the ground by Teddy furious sneaky hand. ''He fights really well, in spite of disadvantage in numbers...'' He thought as he continued to observe the fight while occasionally stealing glances at the Alpha.

It howled loudly and instantly arrived before Teddy, and then swung his right claw at Teddy''s bear head with an intention to shred it in pieces. However, before it could land on Teddy, a silver flashed immediately appeared. BOOM! CLANG! Kim Shin timely defended the surprise attacked of the Alpha. "I''m your opponent!" Kim Shin stated with a mischievous smile on his face. He never removed his eye sight from the alpha. So, when it started to move, Kim Shin also followed up, which resulted in a perfect parry of the swift claw attack. Awoo! Whoosh! The Alpha was annoyed at Kim Shin interference. Then it suddenly howled and released a cone shape cold breathe directed to Kim Shin. ''Shit! I can''t dodge this...''Kim Shin thought when he saw the incoming attack. If he did try to dodge, then the one who''s gonna hit by the cold breathed will be Teddy. And he didn''t want that to happen. So, without any solution on what to do. Kim Shin, braced himself from the incoming attack. He raised the corner of his long cloak by his right hand and positioned it before him. Hoping to defend the cold assault. Whoosh! BOOM! Crack~ Kim Shin was forcefully pushed back as his cloak and right arm were actually frozen by the cold breath he just caught. Awoo! ''Brother!'' Teddy cried out in surprise.

He couldn''t get enough of the instant increase of his strength. ''Teddy!'' Kim Shin immediately exclaimed when he felt the powerful and biting aura in the atmosphere. He then looked behind him. He saw that Teddy began to use his bloodline skill. "Why he suddenly activated his bloodline skill?" Kim Shin murmured in puzzlement. He doesn''t know that he''s the reason why Teddy couldn''t control his emotions and activated the bloodline skill. Whoosh! Kim Shin sensed a quick approaching presence before him then he immediately turned to look back. However, when finally managed to look what he saw was the humongous mouth of the Winter Wolf Alpha that already before him and about to gnaw him. However, before the alpha could crush Kim Shin''s head. A quick black electric flashed straight directly on the Alpha''s mouth! "Teddy!" Kim Shin exclaimed loudly. Awoo! The Winter Wolf Alpha loudly howled, obviously in pain as it took a distance with aggravated look at its eyes. It seems like its mouth got burned by electric aura shot by Teddy, who''s glaring at the alpha with a hostile expression. Awoooooo! ''Try to sneak behind my brother, and I will burn you to crisp!'' Teddy howled and said to the wincing alpha. Kim Shin, on the other hand, smile worriedly at Teddy''s behavior. It''s truly a wrong move to activate his trump card at this early. They still don''t what might happen when they ventured deep inside the massive manor. However, he couldn''t say it to Teddy. Since, he understood that Teddy activated his bloodline skill when he thought that the situation already needed his skill. AWOOO! The crying alpha released a long and deafening howl when it suddenly began to slowly disintegrate to thin air. Teddy widened his eyes in surprised. His opponent suddenly vanished from his sight. "Stealth?!" Kim Shin was a bit taken aback at the skill that the Winter Wolf Alpha shown. While Teddy was anxiously looking around his surroundings. Kim Shin, on the other hand, heightened his senses as he then frowned and focused all his senses on the surrounding while his eyes are closed. Then, out of nowhere. As, if someone informed him, Kim Shin could feel the Alpha presence behind Teddy. "Teddy, behind you!" Kim Shin unhesitatingly shouted to alert the anxious Teddy.

Without wasting more time, Teddy immediately chased the distancing Alpha. Although, it''s bigger than him, Teddy didn''t feel that he might lose with his current strength. Instead he felt that he could overwhelm this monster with his prowess. Kim Shin seriously watched the fight, and in an instant Teddy closed the distance between him and the alpha. Then, Kim Shin thought, that Teddy was going to swing his claw on the monstrous winter wolf. However, to his surprise, he saw that Teddy suddenly leaped and curled his body like a bowling ball and sped through the flabbergasted alpha. BOOOM! "Awoo!" The winter wolf alpha leaked an agonizing scream as it got blasted away and slammed on the icy ground by the rolling Teddy. Then, Teddy safely landed on the icy ground that caused a crater around its four paws. "Ow! That surely hurts a lot." Kim Shin commented after he saw the spinning move of his friend, Teddy. ROAR! Teddy roared in satisfaction as if saying ''Stand up!'' The lying alpha felt belittled at Teddy''s intimidating roar. Then, suddenly its injured body was shrouded with a pale blue light, and after a few second all its injuries was instantly healed. Then, without so much effort it back again on its paws and glared furiously at Teddy. Whoosh! BOOOM! The pale blue aura that shrouding the alpha began to swayed wildly. Whoosh! Crack! The icy ground on its feet started to cracked with its pressuring aura. "Teddy, stop playing around!" Kim Shin hurriedly reprimanded Teddy while frowning. He could feel that the alpha was about to get seriously and Teddy won''t be able to stand it. Teddy who heard Kim Shin''s reminder suddenly jolted out of his satisfied expression. He immediately advanced toward the glaring alpha. Boom! Boom! The ground faintly trembled at Teddy''s movement. Shua! Shua! Shua! While Teddy was advancing, multiple magic light blue circles appeared before the winter wolf alpha. "Teddy! Dodge it!" Kim Shin quickly instructed when he saw the numerous magic circles. Awoo! The alpha suddenly released a piercing howl and immediately 2 ¨C meter long and an arm thick sharp icicle came out of the magic circles that floating in the air, and then flew through the dashing Teddy. Whoosh! Looking at the incoming and rapid icicle, Teddy smoothly dodged it by moving to the right side as he continued to move forward. BOOM! The icicle pierced on the icy ground that caused a cold foggy smoke. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Multiple sharp icicles rained down on Teddy. However, he effortlessly evaded all of it with zigzag movements. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The icicles impaled the icy cold ground that caused a bigger freezing smoke which hid Teddy''s figure. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The alpha took this opportunity and controlled all his magic icicles and rained down on the huge smoke. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "Teddy!" Kim Shin loudly called out. He didn''t expect that this monster was so good at controlling his magic. Whoosh! ROAR! Teddy who was bombarded by icicles released a vociferous roar as it dashed out of the smoke with few scratches and much thicker electrifying aura around his body. Whoosh! Teddy didn''t care about his injuries. He swiftly ran and almost instantly appeared before the alpha and ferociously swung his right paw with a furious roar. ROAR! However, before Teddy could land his paw on the alpha. A misty aura appeared on the foot of the Alpha and smoothly made a 4-meter distance, successfully avoided the incoming claw of Teddy. Swoosh! Shockwave exploded when Teddy missed his target. ROAR! ''Damn!'' Teddy roared in frustration. "Did that monster just use blink?!" Kim Shin uttered in surprise as his dark blue eyes shone brightly. Blink is a form of movement that instantly moves a target from one point to another across a short distance. This is not to be confused with Teleport, which usually involves a longer delay and global distance instead. The blink is a perfect skill for close combat type like Kim Shin. It''s good for both offensive and defensive situation. He could use it to sneak attack and he could also use it like avoiding fast and deadly attacks which the winter wolf alpha just did. Whoosh! Without hesitation, Kim Shin enthusiastically dashed and instantly appeared on the left side of Teddy. ''Hmm?'' Teddy looked at his left and found Kim Shin with sparkling eyes and thinking. ''What happened to Brother? Why he suddenly want to join the fight? I thought he want me to deal with this trash.'' Of course, Kim Shin didn''t tell to Teddy that he wanted the Blink skill so bad. "Teddy! Let''s go! Haha, you''re mine!" Kim Shin excitedly urged Teddy with a creepy smile on his face as he unhesitatingly rushed towards the fierce alpha. Whoosh! The alpha heightened its guard after it saw that the human also joined the battle as its icy blue eyes shone sharply. Awooo! The winter wolf alpha released an earsplitting howled as its body began to bulge even more. It seems like the alpha don''t want to hide his trump card anymore and already prepared to go all out. Whoosh! The alpha didn''t step back at this time but instead shockingly move forward with an intention of facing Kim Shin head on. Whoosh!

Whoosh! BOOOOOM! 74 Thagors Icy Lavender Manor - V ''Hehe. Fool!'' He thought.

Whoosh! BOOOOOM! The place greatly shook by Kim Shin and winter wolf alpha collision that also made a huge cold mist which engulfed the two of them. Crack~ Inside the cold mist, a cracking sound of an ice and fractured bone could be heard. Whoosh! Kim Shin jumped high in the air, out of the cold mist which originally caused by the freezing breath of the alpha. Tap! The system announced the result after he made a twist in the air and landed gracefully on the polished ice ground. Ding! [You''ve defeated the Alpha Winter Wolf] "Eh?" Kim Shin exclaimed in confusion. ''I''ve been killing a higher-level monster than me since I entered this 5th floor, but it seems like I''m not gaining any exp from killing these monsters...Why?'' He thought as he was at completely loss. He didn''t know if this was really designed by the person who built this tower or something preventing him from gaining any experience points. Kim Shin then shook his head, clearing his mind from those questions that can''t be answered yet. He then looked back, and the mist was finally lifted showing the huge corpse of the alpha with a deep wound from its mouth through its head. Stomp! Stomp! Heavy footsteps resounded as Teddy immediately approached Kim Shin. Awoo! ''Brother!'' Teddy softly howled. Looking at the rushing teddy on his left, Kim Shin couldn''t help but to get worried about the injuries this childish bear has. "Teddy, are you alright? How''s your injury?" He concernedly asked, which replied by a wide smile of Teddy. Awooo! Awoo Awooo! ''I''m fine brother. This is nothing!'' "Just to make sure, let me heal your injuries." Kim Shin stated as he raised his right hand towards the injured Teddy. And silently mumbled. "Soul Heal!" Shua!

MP Cost: 100 Cooldown: 15 sec.) "YES!!! Finally!" Kim Shin jovially exclaimed. He was in ecstasy, back on his previous life. He honestly dreamed to have this type of skill. Unfortunately, buying a skill book of this type of skill was really a luxury, and he doesn''t have that much money to buy expensive skill nonchalantly. Now, that he finally achieved his dream skill, he couldn''t help but to smile widely, and he could feel that he''s really different now. Before, he needed to buy a skill, but now with his class-specific skill, he just needed to slay the monster and soul cleave them to get their skill. Although, it''s still based on luck, Kim Shin however optimistically believed that his luck wasn''t bad at all. If, he''s unlucky man, he wouldn''t have a second chance in life. On the other hand, Teddy looked confusedly at his brother''s happy mood. ''What happened to make my brother to be this happy?'' Teddy thought and while looking at the smiling Kim Shin. Teddy blinked his big eyes once and instantly Kim Shin vanished from his sight. Teddy was utterly shocked and hurriedly looked left and right. However, he couldn''t find Kim Shin. Then, suddenly a voice whispered behind his left ear. "Teddy, who are you looking for?" Awoo!! Teddy howled in horror. He was truly terrified at the voice whispered behind him out of nowhere. ROAR! ''Brother!'' Teddy roared in annoyance when he found Kim Shin was already riding his back. "Hahaha. Okay, okay, I''m sorry"Kim Shin laughed as he apologized to Teddy for pranking him. "Grr..." Teddy softly growled at Kim Shin, still infuriated at Kim Shin''s prank. "Haha. Sorry ''Kay? Let''s go!" Kim Shin giggled as he jumped down from Teddy''s back and walked toward the door hole on the wall where the monsters came out. The annoyed Teddy still followed behind Kim Shin while grinding his fangs. "I apologize okay? I will cook a Yeti''s meat for you later so forgive me now eh?" Kim Shin made a promise when he realized that Teddy was still angry at him. 75 Thagors Icy Lavender Manor - VI The annoyed Teddy, still followed behind Kim Shin while grinding his fangs. "I apologize okay? I will cook a yeti''s meat just for you later. So, please forgive me huh?" Kim Shin promised when he realized that Teddy was still angry at him. Eventually, Teddy was back to his normal behavior once again with a bright smile on his face. Since, Kim Shin promised him a meat of yeti which he was dying to eat. Then, the duo headed straight to quadrangle door hole on the cold and freezing wall where those winter wolves came out. Arriving before the door hole, Kim Shin knitted his eyebrows that it was a narrow pathway. Then, he looked behind him and his gaze landed on Teddy. ''Hmm?'' Kim Shin hummed as he scrutinized Teddy''s body measurement while rubbing his chin with his right hand. Awoo? '' What?'' Teddy softly howled and tilted his head in confusion. "Teddy, can you resize your body to be smaller than your current size?" Kim Shin asked while placing his right arm on his right hips. Kim Shin questioned Teddy, because of the narrow pathway that two adult person side by side could enter. He doesn''t know how the Winter Wolf Alpha managed to passed through this path. Kim Shin first thought to leave Teddy here when he saw the narrow path. However, he was curious. Since, Teddy could enlarge his body. Maybe, he could also shrink to a little polar bear. Hearing Kim Shin''s question, Teddy eyes suddenly lit up as he softly howled. Awoo! '' I will try!''.

Although, he could enlarge his body, he doesn''t know if he can change his body to be smaller. Since, he doesn''t get the right time yet to explore his new power. However, he''s positive that there''s a lot of secret inside his body that waiting to be explored. Then, without further ado, Teddy closed his icy blue eyes and visualized himself reverting back to his baby size. Whoosh! A strong cold wind sucked towards Teddy location that made his slick white fur swayed wildly. POOF! After, a couple of second of accumulating cold wind, a faint smoke exploded out that instantly engulfed Teddy''s entire figure. On the other hand, despite of the sudden smoke, Kim Shin seriously focused his eyes on the situation waiting for the result. And just after a few second, the smoke was finally lifted showing a puppy polar bear with a little horn on its head and a height of almost 1 meter that only could reach, Kim Shin''s knees Awoo! ''I did it!'' Teddy released a cute and small howl that caused Kim Shin''s cold heart to melt. "That looks perfectly suited you unlike your huge body..'''' Kim Shin spoke while nodding his head. Feeling satisfied at Teddy''s skill. "Then, let''s go!" He continued as he turned his body back on the narrow pathway. However, after he took a single step, a huge fluffy thing climbed on his right arm upward and sat on his right broad shoulder. Then, Kim Shin looked at the fluffy creature on his shoulder, and then he found Teddy widely smiling on him while sticking his pink tongue out. As, if saying, ''it''s my time to ride you human'' Phew! Kim Shin helplessly sighed and didn''t bother Teddy anymore. "Okay buddy! Let''s go!" Kim Shin softly spoke as dashed at the long narrow pathway. Whoosh! Awoo! Awoo! Teddy happily howled when Kim Shin increased his speed. ''Seems like the path was going down'' He thought as he ran. ***** After a couple of minutes of threading the narrow path, Kim Shin could already see the light, notifying that they were about to get out of dark narrow pathway. Swish! Cold wind calmly passed through them when they finally got out of the long dark pathway and what welcomed them was a freezing steep slope, a dead end. "It seems like we are really inside the snowy mountain..." Kim Shin muttered to himself as he walked on the edge of the slope. Whoosh! Strong cold wind blew upward that surprised him and caused him to take a single step backward. ''Hooh! What''s with that sudden wind?'' He thought as he lowered his eyes to look down, and what he found was only darkness. He couldn''t see the end of it. He doesn''t know how high their current location is. It seems like, if someone fell from this height will end up in abyss or hell-like place. Whoosh! Another strong cold wind blew upward which followed by Kim Shin''s dark blue eyes as he looked upward. And what he found on the top was a rough surface of the snowy mountain with numerous thin and sharp icicles. After that, Kim Shin squinted his eyes as he looked at the distance. His eyesight was already unhuman. So, when he looked he immediately found another slope in the distance and another door hole. Kim Shin managed to found the next path. However there''s a big question after that. How could they go to there? The distance of the next slope from their location was approximately 35 yards away. Kim Shin tried to look around once more, hoping to find something they could use to jump over there. However, he helplessly couldn''t find anything useful. Then, another strong wind blew upward. Whoosh! "Ah! Right! I have that skill." Kim Shin exclaimed in realization. Teddy, on the other hand, only looked confusedly at Kim Shin while tilting his head. Kim Shin then quickly took a few steps backward and then slightly bended his knees, already in position for running. "Teddy, hold tightly if you don''t want to fall and die." Kim Shin said to confused Teddy while counting backward in his mind. 5 4 3 Hearing Kim Shin''s words, Teddy couldn''t help but widened his eyes. He finally realized what his brother was up to. Awoo! Woo! ''Don''t, don''t do that brother!'' Teddy protested. "Too late buddy! Oneeeee!" Kim Shin shouted as he immediately pushed his feet on the ground that caused a small crater around his feet and jumped in the darkness. Booom! AWOOOOOOO! Teddy howled loudly and he held tightly on Kim Shin as they start to fall. AWOOO! ''Where going to die!!!!'' Teddy roared in his mind. Kim Shin on the other hand, only smiled calmly. "Don''t worry buddy! We''re not going to die yet. Here''s our ride!" Kim Shin shouted, reassuring the terrified Teddy. And at his words, a strong wind blew them upward that they almost pierced on the icicles. "Woah!" Kim Shin exclaimed as they rode the cold wind. Although, they are not falling now, they''re still far away from another slope. And after a few seconds, they began to fall once again. Woo! Woo! ''This time we''re surely dead!'' Teddy howled once again. Kim Shin just laughed at Teddy''s reaction as he silently activated his skill. "Eagle Glide.." Whoosh! 76 Thagors Icy Lavender Manor - VII | Dive Hence, with glide skill that he got from the white-tailed ferocious eagle, Kim Shin and Teddy managed to reach the slope. "Haha. Are you okay buddy?" Kim Shin chuckled as he concernedly asked Teddy who''s still shock and clinging on him tightly. Awoo! ''NO!'' Teddy loudly howled that made Kim Shin laughed even more. "HAHAHA. Okay, let''s go!" After a heartfelt laughing Kim Shin began to continue to traverse another narrow path. However, if before was a downwards path, this time was a bit upwards. After a couple of minutes, Kim Shin finally saw the light coming in the distance and it didn''t took that long when they finally got out of the dark narrow pathway. Whoosh! Cold air calmly blew on them when they finally got out as they subconsciously squinted their eyes. Because of the bright light that shone over them. And when they finally able to open their eyes once again, they found that they are in another massive luminous hall but bigger compared at the previous hall and with a number of towering Corinthian pillars. Hence, if someone look from above, Kim Shin was seems like an ant looking for a food inside a majestic castle. And at the other end of the hall, was a exquisite dark violet double door guarded by two, 5 ¨C meter tall armored yeti, armed with long spear that crossed before the massive door. After looking around, Kim Shin lowered his eyes on the ground, and what he found was another thick glassy ice. However compared before, Kim Shin could see a number of arctic fish under the thick ice. It seems like they''re above on a frozen lake or pond. He didn''t know, but he''s sure that there''s always bound to happen. Thus, confirming Kim Shin presumption, numerous of penguins like creature with spiky feather on their head appeared out of nowhere.

However, Kim Shin knew that they are already armed. "There''s a lot of them¡­" Kim Shin muttered under his breath and frowned as he scanned the Rockhopper that obviously more than a hundred. "Teddy, can you fight with your current body?" He then looked at Teddy on his right shoulder and inquired. Awoo! Awoo! ''Of course!'' Teddy arrogantly puffed his fluffy chest as he nodded. Then, without wasting any time, Teddy jumped down from Kim Shin shoulder and dashed quickly on the rockhoppers. Whoosh! BOOM! Teddy immediately rolled his body like a bowling ball and strikes the bowling pins which are the penguins. "Hahaha. That punk¡­" Kim Shin chuckled at Teddy''s action. Then, he didn''t idle anymore. He also advanced towards the incoming rockhoppers. Whoosh! Kim Shin instantly arrived at one rockhopper that made a high pitch shrill sound towards him. EEK!

Kim Shin knew this, that''s why he''s in rushed to kill all of them, if they start attacking at the same time, it will be seriously dangerous. Imagine, a hundred of broadsword user, and they used professionally like how they could effortlessly use their wings. Plus, they are in their home field which was a huge advantage for them and big disadvantage for Kim Shin and Teddy. Then, at that line of thought, Kim Shin unhesitatingly dashed towards them leaving a red trail behind him. He began to activate his bloodlust. Whoosh! He instantly crossed the 8-meter distance, and appeared before the rockhopper. Without delay, he threw a swift swords strike downwards to the little monster head. However, before his sword could landed, Kim Shin saw that the penguin faintly stomped its right feet on the glass ice ground, and instantly a hole appeared and the rockhopper quickly vanished from its position and fell in to cold water. Which result on Kim Shin missing his target. ''Damn, this why I hate this kind of monster!'' Kim Shin darned in his mind. EEK! A faint cry resounded behind him and without hesitation.

BOOM! EUAK! The rockhopper cried in pain after Kim Shin inflicted a deep cut on the monster''s waist. Seeing, that he failed to one hit the monster, Kim Shin was about to dash forward. However, before he could take a single step. He clearly heard a splash sound of water. So, he immediately turned his head to look back. However, he didn''t see anything. EEK! A piercing shrill echoed out. ''Above!'' He thought and instantly looked upward and he saw the rocketing rockhopper rapidly diving downwards toward his direction. Therefore, without a second thought. He immediately jumped sideward to dodge. BOOM! A loud explosion filled the hall that caused a huge cold mist and tremors when the rockhopper heavily fell on the ice ground. Despite the tremor that still going on, the rockhoppers didn''t stop chasing and throwing a swift, sharp strikes towards him and teddy. ROAR! A deafening roar reverberated. ''It seems like Teddy is starting to take this bunch of birds seriously'' Kim Shin thought while dodging the bombardment of swift rockhoppers. Swish! The sharp broadsword wings of the penguins monsters flashed at his previous location. "Tsk!" He clicked his tongue in frustration. Since, every time that he tried to get close, those slippery birds reflexively dive down in the cold water just to escape from his vengeful attack. Accelerator!

Hence, with his speed became twice faster, Kim Shin immediately move forward and instantly appeared behind a rockhopper.

Then, the irritated Kim Shin, furiously thrust down his long sword on the rockhopper head. PUCHI! His long sword easily pierced the head through the icy ground. [You''ve defeated the Rockhopper Chrysocome] [Do you want to dismantle it? [Yes|No] ] [Do you want to Soul Cleave it?

However, it seems like there''s no luck this time around. He didn''t gain anything. "Damn.." Kim Shin silently darned in annoyance. He''s expecting to get something to counterfeit those slippery penguins. Then, after failing to get any skill from the rockhopper he just killed. Kim Shin continued to sneak attack on those damned penguins. After a couple of minutes, Kim Shin discovered that, there are already a number of holes on the ground and it hindered his movements. Then, he looked at Teddy''s direction and he saw the huge dire polar bear glaring on the holes around him. ''It seems like Teddy was also getting mad by these penguins..'' He thought. Splash! Splash! Splash! Eight penguin monsters dove out of the hole around him and quickly falling down on his direction. "Damn birds¡­" He cussed in full of anger when he saw the intention of the rockhoppers.

And without hesitation, he positioned his sword on his right flank and immediately thrust toward the rockhopper''s heart with an intention of killing it instantly. However, the rockhopper fortunately blocked it with his broadsword like wings. The rockhopper smiled in satisfaction. Seeing this, Kim Shin couldn''t help but to comment. "Fool!" And with that word, he unhesitatingly threw a left punch with his fist that covered in sharp black dragon scales. BOOOM! The still smiling penguin was blown a dozen of meters away and stumbled on the ground. [You''ve defeated the Rockhopper Chrysocome] "One down!" He murmured as he flashed once again to the closest penguin monster. Puchi! The unprepared monster was instantly killed after Kim Shin pierced its heart.

And at the end of the hall, where is the exquisite and imposing Ice crystal throne at. A towering muscular yeti that clad with majestic purple fine armor with blue silk cape was calmly sitting on the throne, guarded by a massive winter wolf and armored yeti statue from its both side. [Come closer, human!] A big and dignified voice resounded and filled the whole throne hall. ''Here comes the big boss..'' Kim Shin thought when he heard the commanding tone of the monsters on throne. However, despite of that ordering tone, Kim Shin didn''t move at his current position. Why should he follow the command from a stranger? Signifying that, Kim Shin isn''t intimidated, by the humongous yeti''s commanding and prideful tone of voice. Seeing that the human did not heed his decree made the yeti displeased as it knitted its white eyebrows. And yet, despite the displeasure, the yeti on the throne calmly spoke once again. [Hence, if thou don''t want to, then I won''t force thou] [Anyway, I Thagor the guardian of occulted ice mountain, welcomed thou ''in my little house] Thagor continued as he welcomed them. [And what might be the reason for you thou came here?] Thagor questioned. Kim Shin frowned at the archaic language of the humongous yeti. ''So, he''s the owner of this manor¡­'' Kim Shin thought when he finally learned the name of the yeti that sitting on the majestic crystal throne. "I want to know how to leave this place and advance to the next floor¡­" Kim Shin loudly stated which clearly heard by Thagor. [Oh you''re one of those participants? Hmm, you''re unfortunate and also fortunate to get in this dimension despite of the uncountable dimension pocket does this tower have] Thagor mysteriously said. "Why?" Kim Shin simply asked. [Well, thou are fortunate because, I am the most generous amongst of all the guardian and unfortunate since I''m the most powerful among ''em] Thagor shamelessly stated. Kim Shin felt like to comment at this boastful and full of himself, yeti. "And why are you the most generous eh?" Kim Shin softly said. He doesn''t want to talk with this proud monster. [I''m the most gracious because, I could grant thou a chance to advance instantly towards the 9th floor] Thagor smugly said knowing that every human was tempted at this chance. And, accurately, Kim Shin was really tempted at Thagor''s words. Who''s not going to be tempted with those sweet words? All the Killer''s Tower participant goal was to advance and climb the last floor quickly. "How? Tell me how!" Kim Shin hurriedly inquired. [Okay. Listen clearly human. First, I shall grant thou a chance to stand my attack for 60 seconds and if thou managed to survive for 60 seconds, I shall grant thou the scroll to advance to the next floor.] [And lastly, I shall grant the scroll to teleport to the 9th floor if thou fare to defeat me. O'' course, it won''t be primrose. Should thee didn''t fare to stand my 60 seconds attack¡­ thou shall die] Thagor seriously said as he closed his eyes, waiting for Kim Shin''s answer. And to his surprise, Kim Shin didn''t hesitate to answer. "I don''t need to consider anything, I will defeat you!" Kim Shin fearlessly said with a confident look. [Hoh. I like thy guts, human! Yet, like what I quoth, it won''t be easy] Thagor said as his body began to emit a colorless pressuring aura. And despite the large distance between them, Kim Shin could still feel Thagor''s heavy aura. "Teddy, I''m sorry but I need to fight him alone¡­" Kim Shin apologetically said to Teddy who''s been so quiet. Teddy, who knew the gravity of the situation, didn''t try to argue with his brother and immediately ran before the massive door. Afterwards, Kim Shin looked back again at Thagor who''s starting to walk down the stairs of his throne. [Are thou ready, human?] Thagor spoke as he calmly walked downstairs which replied by Kim Shin with a simple nod. Seeing that the human was already prepared to fight, the angry Thagor suddenly made an evil smile and immediately dashed towards Kim Shin that made his blue cape flapped strongly. BOOM! Whoosh! When he saw that Thagor began to move forward, Kim Shin didn''t idle anymore, he also pushed his feet and dashed towards the advancing Yeti. BOOM! Whoosh! The polished ground was instantaneously broken to pieces as he run with a speed of sound. And in an instant the two of them arrived before each other despite the dozen of meters distance. [You''re fast human] Thagor commented as he swung down his purple rod with a dragon engraved on it which appeared out of nowhere towards Kim Shin. Whoosh! ''So fast!'' Kim Shin thought as he hurriedly positioned his long sword above his head to parry the incoming attack. BOOM! Clang! Powerful shockwave occurred when the purple rod of Thagor and Kim Shin''s sword collided that also caused a huge smoke which instantly engulfed Kim Shin. Whoosh! Kim Shin blew out of the huge smoke and his right hand got numbed by the powerful impact that pushed him meters away as he also left a long footprint on the polished ground. "Hmm. Not bad! At least you have a power to support your boastful attitude¡­" Kim Shin said mockingly which infuriate the yeti. Although, Thagor was also 5-meter tall like armored yeti. Thagor''s strength was on another level. [What? Although, I admire thou, human. Thou don''t have any permission to belittle this king!] Thagor ragingly said as his purple rod began to glow with a pale violet light. [Now, thou angered this kind king, human! prepare for thy death!] Thagor grudgingly said. Then he forcefully pounced forward and smash down his glowing rod towards the grinning Kim Shin. "Hehehe¡­" Kim Shin chuckled evilly despite that he just angered the furious Thagor. Whoosh!

The polished ground shook heavily when the glowing rod of Thagor strongly smashed on the ground that also caused another huge smoke that hid Kim Shin''s figure. ''Hehehe, y''all human are still weak species!'' Thagor''s thought. Then he smile gleefully expecting that he easily killed another human. However, contrary to his expectations, a mocking small voice resounds behind him. "What are thou smiling for? Doth thou think thou will got me that easily?" Kim Shin said with the same way how Thagor spoke. [You -] Thagor uttered in frustration. This human obviously mocking him. "I wonder, if I kill you, are you going to drop the scrolls?" Kim Shin curiously asked that filled of honesty. However, those words were like a curse for the furious Thagor. [You''re getting overboard, human!] "What? I''m just asking eh?" Kim Shin confusedly retort. He didn''t know why this monster became more furious with his honest question. [Enough, human! I shall dispatch thou] Thagor shouted with an expressionless face. [Now, face my wrath] Thagor continued. BOOOM! Icy blue aura suddenly released out of Thagor humongous body. BOOOM! BOOOM! The ground continued to shake as his strength continued to increase. "Sorry, but I won''t give you the time that you want!" Kim Shin said who use blink skill and instantly appeared on the Thagor''s left shoulder as he immediately pulled his right feet and forcefully kicked it towards the left side of Thagor''s face. BOOOOOOM! 79 Kim Shin Vs. Thagor - II [Now, face my wrath] Thagor continued. BOOOM! Icy blue aura suddenly released out of Thagor humongous body. BOOOM! BOOOM! The ground continued to shake as his strength continued to increase. "Sorry, but I won''t give you the time that you want!" Kim Shin said as he used blink skill to instantly appear on Thagor''s left shoulder as he proceeded pull his right foot back and kicked forcefully to the left side of Thagor''s face. BOOOOOOM! Kim Shin''s kick landed on a hard object that created a powerful shockwave exploding out in all directions. And when the shockwave slowly stopped, Kim Shin couldn''t stop himself from frowning when he saw the 5-meter long purple rod defended against his kick casually without any effort at all. Then, inspite of that, he thrust his long sword along with his body forward, towards the big and ferocious face of Thagor. Whoosh! CLANG! Sparks scattered as Kim Shin''s long swords collided with Thagor''s purple rod. [Thou lack any manners, human!] Thagor expressionlessly said as he turned his head and glared his glowing icy blue eyes which could froze anyone in fear, at Kim Shin. Unfortunately, Kim Shin was different. Hence, it had no effect on Kim Shin at all. Seeing that his attacks did not work, Kim Shin put a magic on his feet, and kicked on the air, causing him to be strongly blown backwards as he made a back flip in the air and gracefully landed on the ground. After that, he quickly ran sideward with an intention of circling behind the humongous yeti. However, before he could make it happen, Thagor suddenly dashed and instantly appeared before him. [You''re not going anywhere human!] Thagor screamed out as he put forward his right foot and slammed down his 5-meter purple rod towards the running Kim Shin. BOOOM! The ground shook once again when the rod powerfully slammed on the ground, causing a huge dust cloud leaving a huge imprint of the purple rod. However, as the smoke lifted up, Kim Shin was nowhere to be seen. [Where is that human?] Thagor thought as he looked around. Tap! Tap! Hearing the faint sound of hurried footstep, Thagor immediately looked downwards and instantly discovered the human who was rapidly running between his legs. [Are thou planning to get behind me? in thy dreams!] Thagor thought as he quickly turned around. However, after he turned around, Kim Shin was nowhere to be found once again. [Damn! Where is that human?] He swore in his mind while trying to look from left and right. Alas, he couldn''t see the slippery human. And suddenly, another small voice rang behind him. "Are you looking for me?" Kim Shin smugly asked after he appeared in the air behind Thagor via blink skill. With those words, Thagor knew that he just got played by the damn human, and hurriedly attempted to look back. Alas, before he could turn his head, he heard the human utter something. "Air bullet!" Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Three consecutive air bullets fired out from Kim Shin''s handgun gesture and directly hit Thagor''s thick, hairy nape, causing a loud explosion whilst also creating a few small smoke cloud every time a air bullet landed. Without waiting for the result, Kim Shin once again kicked in the air with his foot that was shrouded with pale blue light. BOOM! Whoosh! With rocket speed he pierced through the smoke and immediately positioned his long sword with his two hands above his head with the intention of slashing Thagor''s nape. "HA!!!" Without any delay, Kim Shin loudly screamed out of his lungs and powerfully slashed down his sword expecting to cut Thagor''s nape. CLANG! However, contrary to his expectation, a loud sound of metal colliding rang out and filled the entire hall making him frown even more. Then, he saw that Thagor''s white fur became like spiky steel.

[Don''t expect that thy low-level skill could harm my tenacious physique!] Thagor uttered in a raspy tone of voice as he suddenly turned his head just to smile and glared his glowing icy blue eyes to Kim Shin behind the smoke. [Hehehe] Thagor cackled evilly. He then continued. [Don''t expect that you''re the only one that could use blink human!] Shua! And in the blink of an eye, the humongous Thagor suddenly vanished and instantly appeared behind the surprised Kim Shin. Thagor then mightily swung his shining purple rod toward Kim Shin. ''Shit!'' Kim Shin cursed in his mind as he hurriedly turned around and positioned his sword horizontally before his right shoulder. CLANG! BOOOM! Crack! ''Damn!'' Kim Shin swore internally while gritting his teeth forcefully enduring the mighty force behind the powerful attack as his feet started to sink in the polished ground causing, a cracking sound. [Die human!] Thagor shouted furiously and increased the strength he was putting in his rod. BOOM! Crack! Kim Shin heavily dropped his left knee on the ground which instantaneously cracked. ''Goddamn it! You really wanted to die so bad! Huh?'' Kim Shin thought as his dark blue eyes glowed intensely and without any hesitation, he silently and slowly activated his legendary skill. "Over¡­limit!" BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! Kim Shin glowing deep, dark blue eyes intensified even more, as his strength instantly increased, causing a powerful shockwave and big crater around him while his hair dance wildly. ''This power?! This human, who is he? How could he be so powerful?'' Thagor thought when he felt the sudden increase of strength within his opponent. Then, he couldn''t stop himself from frowning when he felt that his rod was slowly being pushed back. "Arrrgghhh!!!" Kim Shin growled fiercely as he put all his strength into his legs and arms which made his veins bulge largely. "Blood Aura!" Kim Shin uttered. Then he continued. "I''m sorry, monkey. But, I don''t have enough time to play with you. I''ve been staying here for long. I still have a lot to do." "Accelerator¡­" He muttered. Whoosh! BOOM! The ground cracked even more as Kim Shin suddenly disappeared from Thagor''s eyes. ''Where is he?'' Thagor thought uneasily. He never expected that this human had hid his true prowess so deeply. Whoosh! A powerful gust of wind occurred at the right side of Thagor''s face. ''Huh?'' Thagor confusedly thought by the sudden gust and was about to check it. Alas, before he could check it. A strong and mighty punch heavily hit his face which caused his ferocious face to almost become deformed. BOOOOOOOOM!!! A powerful explosion reverberated as the humungous yeti flew several meters sideward and heavily dropped on the ground with his face, causing a strong tremor. Kim Shin who was slowly falling after punching Thagor''s face with his pseudo dragon fist didn''t stop with just one attack, he input a magic power on his foot and immediately kicked in the air that caused him to fly like a rocket towards the fallen Yeti. BOOM! Whoosh! ''Since, I can''t cut you down with my sword. Then let me beat you to death¡­'' He thought as he directly landed at Thagor''s back. Then, with a single step, he instantly arrived at the yeti''s nape. And without hesitation, he threw a powerful punch to the monster''s nape. BOOOOM! Shockwaves and huge clouds of white transpired and engulfed Kim Shin completely. Whoosh! However, instead of agonizing cry of the yeti that was supposed to rang out. Kim Shin was blasted out of the smoke while his pseudo dragon arms were crossed before his face. ''Damn! I didn''t expect that rod to have that ability!'' Kim Shin cursed in frustration after defending himself from the floating purple rod of Thagor. [Thou almost had me there human] Thagor said as he slowly stood up with his glowing purple rod floating in the air behind him. After Thagor stood up, without any warning sign the yeti suddenly vanished from his position and appeared behind Kim Shin. [Die for me human] Thagor spoke as he pulled his bulging right ape arm and strongly punched toward Kim Shin. Whoosh! Thagor''s swift and heavy punch made an air splitting sound. Alas, Kim Shin''s speed was too much for Thagor. With just a simple maneuver, Kim Shin was suddenly gone from his location, leaving behind an after image which was eventually hit by Thagor. BAM! Powerful and loud shockwaves occurred once again even after Thagor missed his target, meaning his punch was so powerful that could make a powerful shockwave. Far in the distance, Teddy, who was only an audience to the big fight, imagined what would happen to him if he was hit by that blow, Teddy shuddered in horror. Then, out of nowhere, Kim Shin once again appeared suddenly above Thagor''s head and powerfully swung down his right foot from above his head. BOOOOM! 80 Kim Shin Vs. Thagor - III Powerful and loud shockwaves occurred once again even after Thagor missed his target, meaning his punch was so powerful that could make a powerful shockwave. Far in the distance, Teddy, who was only an audience to the big fight, imagined what would happen to him if he was hit by that blow, Teddy shuddered in horror. Then, out of nowhere, Kim Shin once again appeared suddenly above Thagor''s head and powerfully swung down his right foot from above his head. BOOOOM! A deafening sound like thunderclap filled the surroundings, after Kim Shin''s kick solidly landed on Thagor''s huge vicious head, causing the humongous yeti to cry in pain and heavily fell on the ground. Tremble! Thagor''s weight made the entire hall to shake strongly that also caused a huge dust cloud. The damage was more powerful since Kim Shin''s kick was reinforced by his magic power. Shua! Then, out of nowhere, Kim Shin who was slowly falling after kicking Thagor''s head, sense and heard a quick approaching sound behind him. Whoosh! And Kim Shin dexterously twisted his body and turned back, only to be surprised at the rocketing purple rod that about to pierce his head. Fortunately, he reflexively swung his long sword upwards, causing the glowing purple rod to bounce away whilst the impact forced him to fall down quickly. And in the air, Kim Shin effortlessly did a back flip and smoothly landed on the ground. "I almost forgot that flying rod¡­" Kim Shin mumbled as he knitted his eyebrows and focused his full attention on the incoming glowing purple rod. Whoosh! The rocketing speed of the purple rod made an air splitting sound as it rushed straight to Kim Shin. BOOM! Alas, even with that swift speed, Kim Shin still easily dodged the purple rod by leaping to the left side, and the fleeting purple rod powerfully pierced the ground, causing a huge cloud dust. However, after Kim Shin leaped to the left side, a towering and powerful aura appeared suddenly behind him, then without any word or hesitation a huge right foot was about to stomp on him. ''Shit!'' Kim Shin cursed in his mind as he decisively blink and instantly appeared high in the air. However, even with his escape plan, the powerful aura also quickly appeared behind him once again. [You''re not going anywhere human] Thagor''s menacing and malignant voice rang out behind him. Then, the towering yeti, forcefully pulled back his right hand and fiercely punch the slowly falling, Kim Shin. Seeing this powerful and fast incoming attack, Kim Shin knew he couldn''t escape from it. Hence, he crossed his arms before him and braced himself from the incoming force and impact. BOOOOOM! A booming sound filled the entire hall as Kim Shin strongly flew several meters away in the air, and eventually he crashed and rolled on the ground for a few meters, leaving a wide crater. Awoo! ''Brother!'' Teddy loudly howled in worry. Cough! Cough! Kim Shin coughed a mouthful of blood as he slowly forced himself to stand up. ''Damn! Why he suddenly become this strong?'' Kim Shin thought cursedly. [Doth thou think that I''m bluffing when I quoth, that I''m the most powerful amongst all the guardian here in 5th floor dimension?] Thagor questioned in a calm and loud voice as he slowly walked forward. Of course, Kim Shin didn''t think like that. That''s why, at the beginning, he already gave his all. However, he never expected that this boastful yeti was this powerful. He then slowly eyed the walking Thagor, and then he saw the previous glowing icy blue eyes of Thagor, became burning icy blue eyes, whilst the calm and tremendous icy blue aura of the humongous yeti became wild that inconspicuously slashed and cracked the ground. BOOOM! BOOOM! The ground shook and shattered by Thagor''s heavy steps. Puah! Kim Shin spat out the blood in his mouth and strugglingly picked up his sword on the ground that he dropped when he crashed on the ground. ''Do I really need to use that skill at this time?'' Kim Shin thought. He bought a unique skill when he''s still in the Tomb of the Death. However, he doesn''t want to use it. Since, he bought it for his dearest wife. ''No! I still have enough strength to fight. I could probably find a trick or the weakness of this monster.'' Kim Shin shook his head and believed that he''s already experienced a number of life-threatening battles before, so he could survive once again with the help of his current strength. [What are you hesitating for human? Are torn between escaping and fighting? Sorry, but you won''t be able to escape here] Thagor arrogantly said when he saw the hesitation on Kim Shin''s eyes. Then, without any hint, the heavy double door suddenly, closed by itself. BAM! Teddy who''s only few meters away from the door was jolted by the powerful slam of the door. Kim Shin couldn''t stop himself from frowning when he heard the loud sound of the closed door. Now, that the path to exit was already blocked. It''s either do-or-die now. If he didn''t fight seriously he will die and not just him, Teddy will also die. Gritting his teeth, Kim Shin strongly clenched his long sword and immediately sprinted towards Thagor. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Kim Shin fired an air bullet directly at Thagor''s huge fierce face. BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! Three air bullets successfully landed causing white clouds of smoke that engulfed Thagor''s big head. [Stop sing low-level skills, you''re just wasting thou magic power human] Thagor said nonchalantly as the smoke finally disappear showing unscathed face of him. "Tsk!" Kim Shin clicked his tongue in annoyance. Since, what Thagor said was true. [Enough! Let''s stop this boring game human! Just die!] Thagor screamed out as he suddenly vanished from his position and instantly appeared at Kim Shin''s left side and threw a powerful kick. However, Kim Shin already anticipated this. So, before Thagor could hit him. He immediately used his blink skill and instantaneously appeared on Thagor''s right shoulder. Then, without hesitation, he powerfully swung his sword horizontally at Thagor''s neck. CLANG! Alas, before his attack landed on Thagor''s neck. The floating purple rod secretly showed up before him and parried his long sword, causing a loud clanging sound of metal and sparks that scattered everywhere. ''Damn!'' Kim Shin swore once again in frustration. Since, that floating purple rod was always blocking his surprise attack. He then quickly jumped downwards before Thagor could hit him. BOOM! Kim Shin heavily landed on the ground causing a small crater around his feet. Then, he hurriedly ran forward once again, between Thagor''s legs. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! He fired air bullets while running which flew in high speed and landed on Thagor''s facing creating clouds of dust smoke, blocking Thagor''s vision. Seeing this, Kim Shin didn''t let the opportunity slip. He increased his speed one more time and jumped at between Thagor''s legs. Which is the monster''s groin located that clothed with purple armor. ''Hmph. You forced me to play dirty!'' Kim Shin thought and without second thought, he forcefully pulled his left arm and strongly punch Thagor''s groin. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! CRACK~ [AUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHKKKKKKK!!!] Thagor released a deafening agonizing cry as if his wife got raped before his eyes. THUD! The humongous yeti dropped his knees on the ground while holding his groin with his arms. Then, out of nowhere, Thagor released a fierce and thunder clapping voice. [YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!!] Kim Shin who was already several meters away from Thagor, still couldn''t help himself from covering his ears. ''Damn! Noisy monkey'' He grudgingly thought. [I WILL KILL YOUUUUU! HUMAN!] Thagor said as if like a mad growling beast. Then, Thagor suddenly utter something. [I don''t crave to use this power granted by that demon whom locked me here, yet thou forced me to do it. Demonic¡­form!] BOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! Powerful red aura leaked out of Thagor''s body as his spiky white hair became red as blood, whilst his fangs became sharper and longer. And then Thagor''s body bulges so much that almost broke his armor. [WRAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!] Thagor roared crazily like a furious beast and to complete his transformation, a huge twisted gray horn appeared on his head. ''Shit! He''s still hiding his true power?'' Kim Shin cursed internally as he felt the pressuring atmosphere that slightly restricting his breathing and movements. ''Damn! How could I defeat this monster?'' He swore in frustration and anxiousness. Then, his gaze landed on the words above Thagor''s head. [Demonic Thagor Lv. ??] [ROAAARRRR!!!] Thagor loudly roared, causing a powerful red shockwaves. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The entire hall shook strongly that also caused few pillars to heavily fell on the ground. BOOM! Whoosh! Then, all of a sudden, the huge and mad beast, Thagor instantaneously appeared before the frustrated Kim Shin. [DIE HUMAN!] Thagor roared as he mightily swung his purple rod that forced Kim Shin to take a defensive position, crossing both arms before himself. BOOOOM! Kim Shin flew a dozen of meters away and slammed deeply on the hard and clear purple wall of the hall. Cough! Kim Shin was forced to cough a mouthful of blood when he heavily slammed on the wall. Thud! He then eventually fell on the ground. AWOOO! ''BROTHER!'' Teddy, who''s almost out of breath because of the powerful pressure that Thagor''s emitting, called out Kim Shin in worry. Then, he immediately ran toward Kim Shin''s location. Stomp! Stomp! Awoo! Awoo! ''Brother! Brother!'' Teddy immediately howled after he arrived at Kim Shin''s location. "T-Teddy, what are you doing here?" Kim Shin weakly asked when he saw the huge polar bear. Then, he continued. "Get out here, quickly! I can manage myself" Kim Shin then struggled to stand up. While checking his body if he got a serious injury. ''I couldn''t heal myself. Since, if I healed myself the buff giving by my title will be greatly lessened.'' Hearing Kim Shin''s words, Teddy stopped his words about to say and immediately turn to run back at his previous position. However, before he could take a step, a glowing purple rod pierced through his chest and flew back where it came from. A-awo! "T-Teddy..?" Kim Shin stuttering and lifelessly called out who was dumbfounded at the sudden situation. Thud! Teddy heavily fell, face on the ground with unknown condition. "T-Teddy¡­" Kim Shin slowly walked towards the fallen friend as his tears uncontrollably leaking out of the corner of his eyes. Kim Shin then, turned Teddy''s body and slapped his friends on the face, hoping to wake up the unconscious Teddy. However, Teddy was not giving any sign of waking up. Kim Shin tears continued to flowed out of his eyes and fell on the body of his unconscious friend, while his heart was in a great pain. "No! no, T-Teddy please wake up! I m-made a promise that I will find your father for you, with you. Please wake up!" Kim Shin said in a heartbroken emotion. His heart was burning in pain as if he''s bathing in boiling lava. He couldn''t take this feeling. He hated this feeling. He still has a promise that need to fulfill. Badum! Badum! Badum! Kim Shin heart began to beat wildly as if something was about to explode out of his heart. Badum! Badum! Badum! Ding! Warning! Warning! Warning! [An unknown soul invading the user''s body] [Executing, emergency shield] Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Ding! [Emergency shield failed to protect the user''s body] "ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!" Kim Shin released an agonizing pain. 81 Kim Shin Vs. Thagor - End Ding! Warning! Warning! Warning! The system suddenly alerted the brokenhearted Kim Shin. Then, a big and red warning sign appeared before his eyes and block his vision. [An unknown soul is invading the user''s body!] [Commencing, emergency shield¡­] Ding! [Emergency shield had failed to protect the user''s body!] [Status Effect Immunity failed!] As the system announced the failure of protecting Kim Shin''s body. Then the crying Kim Shin suddenly looked upwards with fiery dark red eyes like a possessed demon and released an agonizing roar. "ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!" BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM! A powerful and terrifying dark violet aura exploded out of the kneeling Kim Shin, causing his white cloak and hair to sway wildly. "ARRRGGGGHHH!!!" Kim Shin screamed out like a mad and out of control beast as his hair became white like snow, longer reaching his waist, and two small dark violet horn was slowly coming out of his forehead. Crack! Crack! Cracking sound could be heard inside Kim Shin''s body that caused him to groaned in pain even more. BOOOM! Tremble! As the overwhelming aura that leaking out of Kim Shin''s body continued. The entire hall was heavily shaken by it. And the advancing Thagor abruptly stopped on his feet. [W-What is this?] Thagor thought as he shuddered when he felt the terrifying aura that Kim Shin releasing. BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! "ROOOOOAAAAARRRRR!!!" BOOM! Kim Shin unleashed a reverberating roar as his dark aura continued to increase its strength that forced the humongous yeti to drop his right knee on the ground, causing a wide crater around it. [H-He''s still getting stronger?] Thagor thought that filled of astonishment. He couldn''t believe what he''s seeing. The human that he could overwhelm with sheer strength earlier suddenly, transformed into a powerful monster. [No! No! I don''t believe this! I''m already using the power that demon gave to me! I''m triple times powerful of my all-out strength] Thagor hysterically thought. Then he clenched his teeth and forcefully stood up as he fought the suffocating and overwhelming pressure. [GRAAAAA!!!] Thagor roared with satisfaction after he successfully stood up his body despite the pressuring aura. "SHUT UP! LITTLE MONKEY!" Kim Shin or the soul that possessed Kim Shin''s body said indifferently with an eerie and menacing voice that could terrify anyone with just his voice. [Who are you calling, little? Human!] Thagor infuriatingly said. ''Who the heck this human calling small? Doesn''t he see how tall this king compared to him?'' Thagor thought in irritation. Then, the furious Thagor immediately disappeared from his position and emerged behind the silent Kim Shin. [If you''re not too arrogant and didn''t belittle this king, I could probably consider to let thou live. And yet, thou mocked this king for several times. Hence, thou can''t be forgiven] Thagor loudly spoke as he smashed down his glowing purple rod that appeared out of nowhere. Whoosh! BOOOM! Thagor''s purple rod slammed heavily on the ground, leaving a long crack and huge dust cloud that instantly shrouded Kim Shin''s and Teddy''s location. [Hehehe, you thought you could defeat this king with a meager increase to your strength? Hmph. Pathetic human!] Thagor cockily said as he evilly smiled at satisfaction. However, when the cloud of dust finally disappeared, Kim Shin and Teddy were nowhere to be seen, even their corpse wasn''t there if he killed both of them. [Did I blast them to pieces?] Thagor muttered in confusion but still full of himself. "Are you daydreaming little monkey?" Kim Shin''s eerie and menacing voice filled the entire hall, causing the arrogant Yeti to shuddered in fear. [Where?!] Thagor uttered in shocked as he hurriedly turned his head on his right side where Kim Shin''s voice came from, then he instantly discovered Kim Shin and the unconscious polar bear dozen of meters away from him. [How could he do that?] Thagor wondered. He couldn''t believe how this weakling human managed to cross that distance, with the unconscious polar bear with him that weighing hundreds of pounds. [Tsk! So, what if you can run. If that''s all you have, then I will see how can you stay long just by running] Thagor said. He then immediately dashed towards Kim Shin''s location, who''s carefully putting Teddy on the ground. "My friend, stay here for a while. I will beat that noisy monkey that caused a hole in your chest." The soul that possessed Kim Shin''s body faintly said after putting Teddy down. Then, he slowly stood up. ''Pal, you need to get stronger quickly and don''t die again. We owe our old man so big this time.'' The soul that possessed Kim Shin''s body thought in his mind as if he were talking with someone. Then, he slowly turned around and faced the incoming yeti. "You made me used the little power that I accumulated for tens of years. Hence, you need to pay for your SIN!" Kim Shin furiously said with his horrifying voice that amplified with unknown power as his wild dark violet aura changed to seems like electrifying thunder around him and slowly elevated his body in the air 3-meter from the ground, causing the advancing Thagor to frowned deeply but he didn''t stop instead, he increased his speed even more. BOOM! Whoosh! [HAAAAAA!!!] A powerful explosion echoed out when Thagor abruptly stopped and threw his glowing purple rod like a javelin with deafening scream straight towards the floating Kim Shin with rocketing speed that split the air. However, even with this assault, Kim Shin stay motionless in the air. Whoosh! Clang! The glowing purple rod almost arrived before floating Kim Shin in an instant. Alas, before the rod could hit its target, it was deflected by Kim Shin''s aura that shrouding his entire body. BOOM! Thagor''s purple rod blasted away through the one of the hall''s pillar and stuck on it. "Wretched monkey!" Kim Shin''s voice filled the hall as he glared at the frowning Thagor. [Tsk!] Thagor clicked his tongue while knitting his eyebrows. Then, even with the previous failure assault, Thagor dashed towards Kim Shin once again. BOOM! The ground instantaneously broke into pieces when Thagor''s heavy foot stomped on the ground. Whoosh! And with an instant, Thagor appeared few meters before the floating Kim Shin, who''s still glaring at him. Then, without any hesitation, he threw a mighty straight right punch toward Kim Shin with overflowing killing intent. [DIE!!!] Whoosh! BOOM! Thagor''s heavy punch creates an intense shockwave. However, instead of a glorious smile, Thagor felt a foreboding danger behind him. "If I have a bit more energy, I would probably play with you. However, I don''t have enough energy to do that. Hence, little monkey, if you gave me the scrolls that my pal wanted, I will consider to give you mercy." Kim Shin''s terrifying and menacing voice whispered behind him like a death reaper itself. [In your dreams!] Thagor screamed out as he turned around and swung his left arm. Alas, his attack, unfortunately, landed on the air once again. "Ha-ha, who are you punching there?" Kim Shin''s cackling voice resounded far ahead of him, causing Thagor to be infuriated. [HUMAN!!!!] Thagor furiously shouted at the top of his voice, causing the entire hall to shook greatly. [I can''t accept this! I, the king of the ice mountain, was being played by a puny human?] Thagor thought in annoyance as his muscles began to expand even more while his aura suddenly tremendously increased. BOOOM! Crack! Crack! Air turbulence exploded out of Thagor''s body, causing a huge crater around him. [Human, I will show you no mercy, I will tear your body into pieces!] Thagor grudgingly said. Then he continued. [ Abominable Bloodline¡­ Activate!] BOOOOOOM! Thagor''s body unleashed a terrifying aura as his body began to get bigger that break apart his armor, his eyes became color red like blood while his fangs become longer the same with his thick and spiky fur. ROAR! Thagor''s released an earth shaking roar that shook and destroyed few pillars of the hall. The red aura that periodically leaking of Thagor''s body suddenly sucked in towards his body. Then, Thagor muttered. [Abominable Clone!] Crack! Crack! [ARRRGGHHH!!!] Thagor roared in pain as his body slowly cut in the half from his head, seems like someone tearing him in half like a marshmallow. Then after a few moments, the cut in half Thagor became a whole two new towering and terrifying yeti. ROOOOAR! ROOOOAR! The two mad and horrifying yeti roared at Kim Shin at the same time. "You''ve wasted my time just for that simple transformation?" Kim Shin muttered that filled with disappointment. Hearing Kim Shin''s mocking comment, Thagor couldn''t help but roar again. ROAR! ROAR! "ENOUGH!" Kim Shin voice boomed out. He then continued. " If you''re trying to intimidate me, then you''re hopeless. Are you trying to scare a lion with your cat-like voice?" Then without wasting more time, Kim Shin stretched his right arm to his front with a clawing gesture. He then silently muttered an unknown language. Whoosh! Whoooosh! Two stormy dark violet aura appeared before his right arm. And after a few seconds, the two stormy dark aurae became two solid dark violet sphere with a size of a baseball. Spark! Spark! The floating dark sphere occassionaly leaked an electrifying light like lightning. ROAR!!! Seeing that their opponent was about to attack, the two mad yeti released a loud roar and began to move forward. Alas, before they could reach their target, Kim Shin suddenly outstretched his fingers, as if ordering his two dark violet sphere to advance. Then, without delay, the spheres flew swiftly towards the two advancing yeti. Witnessing this, the two Thagor unhesitatingly stopped at their tracks and decided to evade it. However, the spheres speed broke through sound and smoothly pierced their heart without any stop as if they passed through a cotton ball.

The two humongous yeti dropped on the ground while Kim Shin''s two dark violet sphere didn''t stop and continue on the icy throne, straight out of the snowy mountain. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The two dark violet sphere exploded several meters away from the snowy mountain, causing an earthshaking explosion that reverberated dozens of kilometers away. ***** A few kilometers away of the snowy mountain. Inside a wooden hut, hunchback old man could be seen silently snoring on the sleeping bag. When suddenly, a powerful explosion exploded out which jolted the old man greatly. "Wha-What is that?!" Victor exclaimed in surprise as he ran outside and looked at the distance where the explosion came from. ''Is this young man doing?'' Victor thought. It''s been over 2 days when he last saw Kim Shin. 82 Cliffhanger Back at the time, after the warning sign bombarded him and lost his consciousness. ''Mmh¡­'' Kim Shin opened his eyes as he moaned in exhaustion. ''Eh? Where the heck am I?'' Kim Shin anxiously thought as he found himself floating in the air, tens of thousand feet above the ground. ''What happened?'' He questioned himself. Then, he focused his mind on what happened before he lost consciousness while still floating in the air. ''After that damn monkey pierced and made a hole on Teddy''s body, I was devastated and¡­ I felt my heart was about to explode at that time. Then, the system suddenly bombards me, alerting me about a soul that was trying to invade my body, and that''s all I can remember¡­'' He thought in confusion. His mind was utterly clouded. He didn''t know what''s happening in his body right now. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. He didn''t know what''s Teddy''s condition right now. And more importantly, he didn''t know why the heck he''s floating in the air. Then, out of nowhere, a wild, powerful roar reverberated tens of kilometers away that jolted the shit out of him. ''Ouch! What is that?!'' He questioned himself as he looked downwards where the wild roar came from, and then he found, several feet lower than him was an army of humongous dragon undead with an undead armored knight riding the undead dragons. ''Undead dragons? Undead army? Where the fuck am I?'' He thought in shocked after he saw the overwhelming pressure and aura coming out of the undead army. And rearmost of that undead army was seems like an old man with long jet black hair and extensive black beard that reaching his chest, clad in a black majestic and exquisite brave light armor, and dressed with a dark royal mantle printed with a golden skull dragon on it. ''Who is that old man...?'' Kim Shin curiously thought as he could feel the terrifying and horrifying aura seeping out from the old man''s body. Suddenly, the terrifying old man opened his mouth and softly spoke. "You unfilial son, do you dare to revolt against me, YOUR FATHER?" However, in spite of the soft voice of the old man, his voice was resounded tens of kilometers away which utterly buzzed Kim Shin''s ear. ''What the heck is wrong with that old man?!'' Kim Shin grumbled as he covered his ears with his hands. Then, on the opposite side of the undead army was a tall, long white-haired young man in his mid-twenties, he''s look is out of ordinary, it seems like even those so-called handsome looks of forever young, elves, was paled in comparison. However, in spite of his celestial face, his long white hair that reached his waist was in a mess, indicating that he is wild and carefree, despite the godly aura leaking out of his body. "Stop your nonsense, old man! You''re only tricking yourself, I''ve already found the truth behind your transparent lies!" The white-haired young man answered that filled with hostility. He then outstretched his right arm, and out of a sudden, a 5-meter giant dark violet scythe appeared before him. "TSK. So, you''ve finally discovered it. Hence, I don''t have any reason but to dispatch you right now, before your old man learned this." The old spoke after he clicked his tongue that filled with annoyance. "Come and get me, old man. It''s been thousands of years since the last time that we fought." The young man said with a confident smile, in spite of the presence of numerous undead. ''Thousands of years? How old are they?'' Kim Shin thought in amazement after he heard what the young man just said. "You''re still confident as usual, my son!" The old man scornfully replied. Then, he waved his right-hand forward and commanded his army. "Shoot him to death, fire!" Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Hence, in an instant after his command, the undead dragons unhesitatingly opened their big mouths creating a big burning fireball and shoot it towards the white-haired young man without showing any mercy at all, causing Kim Shin to deeply frowned. "Hehehe, child play!" Despite the raining fireball like falling comets, the white-haired man mumbled and sneered as if he''s not putting those fireballs in his eyes. Then, before the fireballs hit the white-haired man, he slowly swung his scythe from top-right to bottom-left. ''What is that man doing?!'' Kim Shin uttered in disbelief after he saw the ordinary strike of the white-haired man. Then, without any clue, the falling fireballs suddenly cut in half and exploded in the air, causing a sea of fire. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! ''What just happened?!'' Kim Shin thought with a wide opened-mouth. "Advance!" In spite of the failed attempt, the old man continued to order his army. " "OUH!" " ROAR! The undead knights and dragons roared in unison as they move forward, towards their master''s enemy, while leaking out overwhelming killing intent. Seeing that the army of undead began to move, the white-haired man didn''t lose his a confident smile on his face. Then, he put his scythe on his right shoulder and mumbled something. Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Numerous shining violet magic circle appeared behind him. "Hehehe, die you bunch of bones!" The white-haired young man maniacally said as he waved his left-hand forwards. "Reaper Smite!" Whoosh! Whooosh! Whoosh! Numerous lavender rays of light appeared out of the magic circles and swiftly pierced through the advancing undead army. BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! The white-haired man''s powerful attack greatly shook the heaven, forcing Kim Shin to cover his eyes from the blinding violet light as his dark hair blew wildly with the strong wind brought by the deafening explosion. When the light finally subsided, Kim Shin discovered that half of the undead army was killed by a single wave of the white-haired man''s hand. ''No way...'' He couldn''t help but utter in disbelief. It was truly unbelievable. That was a frickin'' high-level undead army! No one in the right mind would believe if he told them that he witnessed a person annihilated an army of high-level undead with just a single wave of his hand. Then, without any intention to stop, the white-haired man waved his left-hand once again. "Reaper Smite!" Shua! Shua! Shua! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! ''Damn! Psycho!'' Kim Shin grudgingly thought as he covered his eyes once again. He didn''t expect that psycho to shoot once more without any notion that he''s going to beat those crap undead out of their stinky body. "Haha, old man. Now that your soldiers are gone. Would you mind to come and fight me head-on?" The white-haired man sarcastically said as he gestured his hand like Bruce Lee provoking the old man. "Very well!" The old man simply answered as he instantly appeared several meters away from the white-haired man. ''Too fast!'' Kim Shin thought. He didn''t know where he is. However, he knew that this event was truly ridiculous. Who is this overpower people? Why are they fighting? He have a lot of questions running in his mind right now. However, he knew that it would be impossible to know anything from them. Hence, he just put all his eyes and focused his mind on the fight. Hoping to get some enlightenment. "Old man, let''s finish this quickly!" The white-haired man smilingly said as he stared directly at the old man''s eye. "Hahaha. You''re still impatient as ever. Well, I''m fine with that. Let''s finish this with one move!" The old man chuckled but still gladly accept the white-haired man demand. Then, he continued. "I just hope you won''t run after this." "No worries old man. I won''t run. Since you will die here!" The white-haired man arrogantly answered. He then threw his giant scythe in the air which surprisingly float in the air. Then, out of nowhere, a heaven-shaking dark aura appeared out of the white-haired young man. At the same time, a red as blood aura unleashed out of the old man''s body, causing his skinny body to bulge and crack. Crack! " "ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!! " " The two roared strongly causing heaven and earth to shook greatly. BOOOM! BOOOM! The sky was cleared up since the clouds were pushed away by their powerful and wild auras. ''What kind of power is this?!'' Kim Shin thought in disbelief. He never felt a power liked this before. Is this a power that human could wield? Kim Shin watched the two intently as he faintly heard someone calling him. "Young man, young man... young man.." PAK! "Ouch!" Kim Shin cried out in pain as he held his right cheek. "Oh! Thank god you''re finally awake!" The man who slapped him on the cheek heaved a sighed of relieve. "EH?! Old Victor?!" Kim Shin exclaimed in surprise. 83 Ninth Floor - I "Young Man, young man.. Young man!" PAK! A loud slapping sound rung out in the silent wooden hut. "Ouch!" Kim Shin cried out in pain as he held his right cheek. "Oh! Thank god you''re finally awake!" The man who slapped him on the cheek heaved a sighed of relief. "EH?! Old Victor?!" Kim Shin exclaimed in surprised as he didn''t expect to see this old man after waking up. Then, he continued."Why are you here? Where am I?" Hearing Kim Shin''s question, old Victor was momentarily puzzled, but he then reacted with a high tone of voice."Huh? What do you mean?! You''re the one who went here with a polar bear with you, and now you''re here asking me where are you?" "Polar Bear? AH! Teddy! Where is Teddy?" Kim Shin''s mind was utterly clouded, and he also felt nauseous. However, after he picked up old Victor''s words about Teddy, he hastily asked and struggled to stand up, but he failed to do so. "AH! Relax. He''s fine, he''s snoozing in the barn a few meters behind us." Old Victor hurriedly helped Kim Shin to stand up as he explained. ''Why he''s overly concerned about that monster?'' Old Victor confusedly thought. "EH?! Are you sure about that? Doesn''t he have a hole in his chest?" Kim Shin doubly questioned the confused Victor. Since he still could recall how Thagor easily pierced through Teddy''s chest with his purple staff. Hearing Kim Shin query, old Victor suddenly became quiet and seriously stared at him. He then couldn''t help but ask, "What''s wrong?" Then, old Victor said. "Don''t you remember anything?" "Huh? What do you mean by that? What do I need to remember?" Kim Shin answered in puzzlement as he deeply frowned. He doesn''t know why Victor acting suspiciously, but he''s certain that there''s something wrong. "So, you honestly don''t remember anything huh?." Old Victor sighed when he determined that Kim Shin remembers nothing that just happened. "Tell me quickly! What happened when I''m unconscious." Kim Shin eagerly said since he wanted to know what truly happened after he lost his consciousness. Old Victor was silent for a second before opening his mouth. Then, said. "You''re actually not unconscious when you arrived here with a bloody polar bear." Victor''s revelation shook Kim Shin, however, despite his curiosity he waited for the hunch back old man to continue his story. "Well, it''s like this..." Back at the time, after the explosion happened. BOOOOM! BOOOOM! The thick cold mist that covered the sky was instantly cleared up and caused a sea of violet fire. ''What''s happening there?'' Victor thought as he held his hood that strongly blew by the gust of cold wind while looking at the direction of the explosion. Then, out of nowhere, a long white-haired man in a white cloak appeared in the sky several feet above him with unconscious polar bear beside him. ''Who is that?'' Victor frightenedly thought when he saw the demonic figure that floating in the air. The blood-red eyes and the dark-violet twisted horn made the white-haired man more terrifying. And then, the floating white-haired man suddenly disappeared. ''W-Where is he?!'' Victor thought in anxiousness. He didn''t know where the demonic figure gone through. Then, all of a sudden, an archaic voice rang behind him. "Old man¡­" Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. "Hick!!! W-What?!" Victor subconsciously replied as he slowly turned around, facing the demon he just saw. Then, Victor stutteringly questioned. "W-Who are you? What do you want?" He couldn''t stop himself from stuttering, since he could felt an otherworldy aura seeping out of the demonic figure, causing him to be more cautious. "Don''t be scared old man, It''s me, Kim Shin." The white-haired man said to ease the trembling old man. "Kim Shin?!" Victor exclaimed loudly. As, he couldn''t believe the man''s words. Since, the Kim Shin he knew was a totally different person. "Don''t be too noisy, old man. I''m running out of time, I want you to listen to me clearly. Here, take this!" Kim Shin spoke quickly as he tossed three old scrolls towards the dumbfounded Victor. "What is this?"Victor inquired that filled with curiosity. "It''s a teleportation scroll, anyways. Also, have this." Kim Shin said as he took out another item from the system and hand to Victor. "What is teleportation scroll? And what is this?" Victor questioned as he looked at the black square stone with glowing ancient symbol inscribed on it. "Don''t ask too many question old man. That was a summoning stone, my advance payment for taking care of me after I lose consciousness." Kim Shin raised his voice in annoyance, but, still explained. "Also, please remind me after I woke up that I need to be more careful next time about my feelings, and I need to get stronger quickly without relying on the system so much." He continued. "What are you talking about?" Victor perplexedly asked. Since, he doesn''t understand anything. "You will eventually know it later." Kim Shin nonchalantly answered, he then turned around and looked at the bleeding Teddy who''s lying unconscious on the snowy ground. "I''m sorry friend, I''d neglected you earlier." He muttered as he stretched his arm toward Teddy. He then chanted. "Soul Heal!" Shua! A 5-meter violet magic circle with ancient symbols on it appeared above the unconscious Teddy, which greatly surprised Victor. ''Why he''s healing that monster?'' Victor thought. Then, the 5-meter magic circle eventually engulfed the huge polar bear, creating a blinding light that forced the watching Victor to closed his eyes. "Thankfully, the damaged was far from the heart.." Kim Shin mumbled as he looked behind him and said. "Old man, I''m in your hands now." "What do you¡ª?" Victor was about to asked but his mouth was left opened after he saw the demonic figure suddenly fell on the ground. "Hey! Young man!" Victor quickly called out as he approached the fallen Kim Shin. ***** "So, that''s what happened." Kim Shin who''s done listening to Victor''s narration nodded his head a couple of times. "Can I see the scroll and the stone that I gave to you?" Kim Shin demand. "No problem. It''s yours thou." Victor unhesitatingly agreed and immediately took out the items and handed to Kim Shin. Holding the old scrolls on his left-hand, Kim Shin appraised the item straightaway. [Event Teleportation Scroll] Grade: Special Type: Scroll Details: [After tearing the scroll that person will be instantly teleported on the 9th Floor of the Killer''s Tower] ''This is it, although it''s an old type of teleportation item. This is legit.'' Kim Shin thought as he was used at using the teleportation crystal on Yggdrasil. Then, he appraised the other item on his right-hand. [Summoning Stone] Grade: Unique Type: Summoning item Effect: [Channel 5000 Magic Power and said the word ''Come forth!'' to summon a single random monster with a level of 40-50] ''Level 40-50?! Then there''s a high chance for me to summon Level 50 monster since I have luck stats?!'' Kim Shin thought elatedly as his eyes shone brightly. "So, how is it?" Victor immediately questioned after he saw Kim Shin''s reaction. "It''s all good, good!" Kim Shin replied jovially. He then continued. "Let''s go and check Teddy, we need to climb up the last floor quickly." "But how?" Victor questioned. "With this of course!" Kim Shin said as he slightly raised the scroll on his left hand. "Anyways. Let''s go! Ugh! Wait, let me heal myself first." ***** "Hey, Buddy! Wake up!" A loud calling voice filled the barn, causing the sleeping Teddy to woke up. Awoo! Teddy immediately yawned as he woke up. Then, he blinked his eyes cutely and looked at the two people at his front. ''Who are they?'' Teddy thought since his vision was still blurry. "Hey, buddy! How''s your feeling? Are you alright?" Kim Shin worriedly asked. Hearing the warmth of the familiar voice, Teddy immediately sprung up of his feet and immediately ran towards Kim Shin and uncaringly licked Kim Shin''s entire face. Awoo! ''Brother!'' Teddy loudly howled, feeling excited when he saw the completely unharmed Kim Shin. "Hahaha, I''m also glad that you''re fine, buddy!" Kim Shin laughed happily as he caressed the fluffy head of Teddy. Awoo! Awoo! ''Me too! I''m happy to see you well, brother!'' Teddy howled with a wide smile. "I''m sorry buddy if I almost let you die, don''t worry, this time I promise that I won''t let anything bad happen to you before I fulfilled my promise, Okay?" Kim Shin seriously said. Awoo! ''I believe in you, brother!'' Teddy quickly nodded his head. "Haha! Let''s eat first before we continue our journey." ***** On the 9th Floor of the Killer''s Tower. A tall black-haired man covered with bruises on his body was could be seen running in the dark area of the red stone wall of the tower, who''s seemed like running away from someone. "Damn! Why this happening to me? Who is that demon?!" The running man grumbled as he kept himself awake in spite of his injured body. He didn''t expect to meet a demon-level existence in this tower when he''s few points away to reach the required KP to advance on the last floor. At first, he was happy about the additional function of the event. On the 9th Floor, all the participants will be able to fully scan the 500-meters radius area around them after every 2 minutes. With this new function, the participants will be able to find each other easily. And this running man was happy at first. However, now that he''s the one who''s running, he finally realized how naive he was. ''Shit!'' He cursed in frustration as he kept dragging his body. Then, the running man abruptly stopped and stared ahead on the dark path as he starts trembling. "Hehehe. You''re not going anywhere, I will kill y''all criminals who killed my uncles!" A husky and horrifying voice resound behind the dark area. "N-no way! I-I didn''t kill your uncle!" The man stutteringly replied as he couldn''t believe how this demon managed to block his path. Then, without a second thought he turned around and run with all his might while screaming. "I didn''t kill your uncles damn psycho!" "HAHAHA run as long as there is ground to run to!" The man laughed evilly as he stared ahead on the running man with a creepy smile and fiend-like round eyes. "Damn psycho!!!" The running man furiously shouted. Then a fast approaching footstep rang behind him. "Who''s psycho?" An expressionless tone of voice whispered behind, causing the running man shivered in fear and stopped as he didn''t realize that his back was already soaked in cold sweat. "How¡ª" The man was about to turn around and look behind. However, before he could do so, a swift light flashed through his neck as he felt that his vision was falling down. Thud! As he fell on the ground, the man finally saw his assailant for the last chance before eternally closing his eyes, its appearance was rather young, it also has a pale white hair like snow, this young man could be handsome if he doesn''t have his big scar from the left side of his forehead straight down on his left cheek. "Hehehe, don''t worry uncles. I already killed all the participants on the lower floor to compensate for your deaths. Watch me up there as I will kill all the participants left for you guys." The white-haired man muttered while frowning as he then licked the flowing blood on his sword and laughed wickedly. "Hehehehehehahahahahahahaha¡­" 84 Ninth Floor - II | Light Reaper Vs. Kim Shin - I Shua! Shua! Shua! In the middle of wide space, there is a circular arch made of neatly stacked stones, when suddenly, in the middle of the stone arch, the air itself began to distort in a circle particle of pale blue lights like a portal. Then, after a second, the particle of lights eventually fades away, showing a handsome man in a white cloak with a pale white puppy on his head, and beside him is a hunch back old dressed in a long black robe. [Congratulations on reaching the 9th floor!] [The administrator of the Killer''s Tower added a new function upon reaching the 9th floor] New Function: - Every participant on the 9th floor will be able to use ''Scan'' for 2 seconds. [Scan all the living being 500-meter radius around the user. Duration: 2 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes.] Additional Party System: - Every participant will be able to use the beta party system. [Party System] You can create a party of 10-members. Unable to damage party members. Able to make mental communication by just thinking about your party member''s name with a distance of 100 yards. "Wah! What is this?!" Victor exclaimed in surprised after the System''s window announcement popped up, blocking his vision. "New function? Hmm.." Kim Shin murmured, who''s beside the surprised Victor as he carefully read the new function of the event and the additional on the system. ''Isn''t this supposed to be added after the tutorial end?'' He thought after he read about the additional function in the system. In the gamers point of view, they are still on the closed-beta where there''s still a lot of missing functions in the system. And this Party System was supposed to show up on open-beta, which is after the tutorial. After reading the announcement, he then opened his system and clicked the party tab under the Status tab. Click! Then, a green blinking radar appeared before him with a word scan on the bottom right of it and unhesitatingly clicked it. [Scanning..] Ding! After 3 seconds of scanning, a name appeared before him. 1. Victor Sins ''How far this System''s Party Scanner could reach?'' Kim Shin thought. Since, the party scanner he knew before was could reach 20-meters. However, this beta party scanner is currently unknown to him. Then, he focused his eyes on Victor''s name and found a green flag beside it. ''There''s still missing function.'' Kim Shin thought. He then clicked the green flag beside Victor''s name. Ding! [Kim Shin invite you to a party. Would you like to accept? (Yes|No)] "Wah!" Victor, who''s seriously reading the announcement freaked out by the popped up window. "What is this?" Victor confusedly asked as he looked at Kim Shin. He couldn''t understand anything. From the sudden announcement and party invitation, he couldn''t understand anything. Since he''s just a typical grandfather before on earth, who''s only taking care of his lovely grandchildren and doesn''t have any idea about games. "Just accept it! I bet you already read the announcement. We need to move now before they could find us and surround." Kim Shin ordered and explained. He needs to be more careful now. Since, he''s certain that those participants who managed to reach the 9th floor will be an exceptional and skilled person. "Oh okay.." Victor replied softly with a nod as he clicked the yes button. Then, instantly Kim Shin''s name with health and magic power bar appeared on top-right of his vision under his name. "Hoh! I can see your name here with violet and azure bar under your name." Victor said. Violet is the health bar while the azure is the magic power bar. "Let''s go!" Kim Shin commanded as he walked ahead. "Roger!" Victor subconsciously replied as he followed behind without even noticing that Kim Shin didn''t open his mouth. ***** "Damn! How big this floor is?!" A man clad in exquisite light armor sworn in frustration. Yes, the new scan function was a really pleasant addition in the event. However, the maze labyrinth field was hindering them to face each other, even with just a wall that separating them. Hence, because of that, he only has a small chance to stumble across with other participants. Then, while he was bored walking, he heard a shrill cry begging for help. "H-HELP!!!" ''Hmm. It seems like there''s a fight occurring there.'' He thought as he slightly frowned and cautiously advanced towards the direction of the scream while clenching his steel rapier by his left-side of his waist. "N-No, please don''t kill me. I didn''t do anything with your uncles. I-I don''t have any idea about your problem!" A woman voiced echoed once again, pleading and denying herself from the accusation of her assailant. "Hehehe... That''s what criminals would always say!" A raspy voice retorted the woman''s denial. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. ''A man this time?'' The man in exquisite light armor thought after he heard the raspy voice of the man, causing him to knit his eyebrows even more. Then, as he reached the corner of the path where the path is going left, he stopped and carefully looked towards the two other participants. He then discovered a tall, white-haired man whose body is a bit bent forward with a sword dripping with blood on his right hand, standing few yards away from the woman on the ground who''s shivering and crying in fear while looking at her assailant, obviously terrified. And then, he looked around the man and woman just to found four more corpses lying on the ground. How could he said that they are corpses? Because, their head was cleanly separated from their body! ''This man is dangerous.'' He seriously thought, as he focused his mind, thinking for a way to kill both of them. Thus, he eventually came to a decision. ''I will sneak on him after he killed that woman when he lowered his guard.'' Then, he looked intently, once again on the white-haired man. "N-No, please believe me! I don''t even know who''s your uncles!" The woman loudly said, seemingly desperate to explained her innocence. "Hehehehaha. Deny it as longs as you want! Deny it even if you''re already burning in hell!" The white-haired man insanely laughed as he glared sharply on the woman, causing the woman to subconsciously moved backward in fear. "Hic!! P-Please, don''t kill me. I-I can be your woman, just please have mercy. I don''t care what you want to do with my body, just let me live!" The woman shrieked in terror as she pleaded once more. However, despite her pleads, the white-haired man was obviously uninterested by it. "Hahahaha. Since your fine with anything, I want to do with your body. Then, prepare yourself¡­" The white-haired man laughed softly and spoke while grinning, and then slowly approach the woman. Hearing the white-haired man''s words, the woman heaved a sighed of relieved while thanking her sexy body in her mind for saving her life once again. ''Hmph! Just as I thought, no one could decline my alluring body'' She thought as she began to remove her armor dress slowly, showing her pale and rosy skin that almost on par with the skin of those skincare models. However, before he could take off all her dress, the slowly approaching white-haired man suddenly said something that shook her to the core. "Prepare yourself because I will cut you to pieces! Hehehehahaha¡­" The white-haired man said as he laughed madly. "You¡ª Psycho!!!" The woman furiously screamed out of her lungs. Then, he immediately grabbed her wooden staff on the ground beside her and without hesitation, she pointed it to the white-haired man. "FIREBALL!" The woman uttered strongly. Whoosh! A red glowing magic circle appeared, and 60 inches burning ball flew straight towards the head of white-haired man. "Hahaha, die you scumbag!" The woman burst in laughing when she felt that her fireball was enough to slay the man on her front. Alas, before she could continue laughing, she saw the white-haired man, easily avoided the fireball by just tilting his head on the left side, and then the fiery ball passed through the man and exploded when it hit on the red wall of the labyrinth. "You ungracious slut!" The white-haired man spine-chillingly said as his eyes turned sharp and glared at the woman. "No, I-I¡ª " Whoosh! SLASH! The woman who''s about to say something was instantly decapitated with the white-haired man swift movement. Swish! Thud! The white-haired man swung his sword on the right to brushed off the blood on his sword, at the same time, the woman''s body fell on the ground while her blood is bursting out of her neck. "Did you saw that uncles? I killed another criminal. Hehehehahaha¡­" The white-haired man who''s currently leaning his body forward muttered as he raised his head and laughed madly. ''Now!'' The man who''s watching on the corner exclaimed in his mind and immediately advanced forward thrusting his rapier to the laughing white-haired man. "Linear Flash!" The man voiced out, as his rapier glowed with white light and thrust forward with double speed. "Die!!!" He screamed out. "You finally came out¡­" Despite the sneak attack, the white-haired man unsurprisingly commented. "H-How¡ª" The man said in shock. As, his rapier smoothly got parried with a sword that glowing with a red light of the white-haired man who''s already facing and grinning on him. CLANG! "I couldn''t believe this. Triangular Stinger!" In spite of the failed sneak attack, he reflexively activated his rare skill. His rapier glowed with yellow light as it thrust directly to the head of white-haired man. Whoosh! BOOOM! Shockwave erupted in the air when he''s first strike missed the head of his target. His body seemed like out of control as he''s glowed once again with yellow light and thrust to the white-haired man''s right chest. However, before his hit could land, the white-haired man swiftly dodged it by twisting his waist clockwise. His attack didn''t stop there, it continued to the other side of the white-haired man''s chest, which also evaded effortlessly by twisting his waist counter-clockwise. BOOOM! BOOOM! His three combo attacks failed to hit his target but caused shockwaves in the air. "N-No way!" He uttered in disbelief. He was extremely shocked by the white-haired man''s agility. "Too slow." The white-haired man commented after he easily dodged the combo attack. Then, without any hesitation, he raised his sword over his head and swung down to the left, slashing the dumbfounded man as it left a red trail of light. SLASH! BOOOM! "Urgh!!!" The man grimaced in pain and forcefully flew backward by the powerful strike as he eventually crashed and rolled on the ground. ''It hurts!'' The man thought, feeling the hot and unbelievable pain on his chest. Looking at the corner of his vision, he saw his health bar was easily cut by half, which terrified him as he vomited a blood. ''This can''t be true. Urghk!'' Cough! Cough! ''I need to get away from here. I can''t win this fight. Damnit!'' He thought as his eyes landed on the open wall that got blasted earlier by the woman fireball. ''That''s it! I can survive from this guy!'' Then without thinking twice, he immediately pushed his body up, activating his speed booster and forcefully ran to the open wall, enduring the pain. "Agility Boost!" Whoosh! His legs glowed with faint green light as his speed doubled up. While running, he took a quick peek on the white-haired man who''s motionless and watching him running. ''Hahaha, he couldn''t catch up to me now, with this distance!'' He laughed in his mind and passed through the open wall. Then after a few minutes of full-speed running, he''s agility boost eventually timed-out. "Huff! Huff! I''m quite far from that guy now. I''m certain that he couldn''t follow me now." He gasped for air and muttered while leaning on the red-stone wall as he looked at the path behind him. ''I need to find a safe place to recuperate¡­'' He decided as he slowly walked forward while holding on the wall. Then, before he could walked far away, he heard a footstep behind him. "Who?!" He called out as he immediately turned around. However, he didn''t see anything. ''Did I misheard it?'' He questioned himself, feeling unsure. Phew! He heaved a sighed of relieve when he finally assured that there''s nothing behind him. Then, another number of footsteps resound behind him. "Who''s there?!" He shouted as he turned around, discovering two-man walking side by side. A young man in white cloak with a pale snow puppy on his head and hunch back elder beside him. ''Damn! I couldn''t fight at this condition, and now two at the same time. I''m dead now.'' He frustratedly thought. ''I''ll try to talk to them and hopefully, they are not that merciless person, who killed for fun.'' "Man, c-could you guys be kind to have mercy with this dying man?" The man weakly said, acting like an almost dying person. "What should we do, young man?" Victor whispered to Kim Shin. Hearing the question of Victor, Kim Shin didn''t have any reaction, he just kept his emotionless face as if he''s in deep thought. Yes, Kim Shin is currently thinking about all the events that happened on the 5th floor, but his actually aware of his surroundings. "Let him be. We''re only looking for the 10th floor entrance, but don''t lower your guard." Kim Shin nonchalantly answered, he then walked forward. Hearing Kim Shin''s answer, the bleeding man smiled gleefully as he thanked Kim Shin and Victor. "Thank you for your mercy¡ª" His smile was instantly erased as he shivered in fear when he felt the dreadful aura behind him. Kim Shin also stopped on his tracks and stared at the ball of white light behind the bleeding man. Then, out of nowhere, the white ball of light become a figure of a man. "Found ya!" The man that suddenly appeared said in a husky tone of voice. "S-Save m¡ª" The bleeding man wanted to called for help. However, his words were immediately cut when a flashed of light cut his neck, removing his head from his body. Pssh! Bloods sprayed out of the headless body. Thud! "Hehehehahaha. No one can escape from me. Hehahaha" The white-haired man laughed crazily as he glared at Kim Shin and Victor while sticking out his tongue. ''Isn''t this the young man I saw on the 1st floor?'' Kim Shin vividly remembered this white-haired young man. ''What happened to him?'' 85 Light Reaper Vs. Kim Shin - II "Found ya!" The man that suddenly appeared said in a husky tone of voice. "S-Save m¡ª" The bleeding man wanted to call for help. However, his words were immediately cut when a flashed of light cut his neck, removing his head from his body. Pssh! Bloods sprayed out of the headless body. Thud! "Hehehehahaha. No one can escape from me. Hehahaha" The white-haired man laughed crazily as he glared at Kim Shin and Victor while sticking out his tongue out. ''Isn''t this the man I saw on the 1st floor?'' Kim Shin could vividly remember this white-haired young man who has the same height as him. ''What happened to him? And where his party members?'' He couldn''t help but think. "Young man, what should we do now?" Victor who was a bit taken aback at what happened, asked Kim Shin seriously. Hearing Victor''s question, Kim Shin said seriously. "Prepare yourself." Then, he reached out his right hand on his right side, and white light in a figure of a sword appeared before his hand. He then clenched the light and it immediately turned to a long steel sword. "Okay!" Victor replied as, he unhesitatingly brought out his black magic stick. Though, he didn''t have any idea why Kim Shin became too serious after he saw the white-haired man. He still could feel that he needed to put his guard on peak. With the sudden appearance of the white-haired man, he knew that this man is on a different level, compared to other participants that they encountered. "Summon golem!" Victor chanted while pointing his black magic stick downward. Then, a yellow-gold shining magic circle appeared on the ground, 2-meters before him, illuminating the dimly lit surrounding. Crack! The ground began to crack, creating number of rubble. Then, those rocks began to pile up, making a 3-meter tall golem. Roar! Without any hint, the golem immediately released a loud roar toward the white-haired man. Then, without wasting more time, Victor pointed his magic stick forward and commanded his golem. "Go! Don''t give him any mercy!" Roar! Boom! Boom! The golem quickly moved forward after a faint roar, causing a loud sound with every step it takes. Seeing Victor''s action, Kim Shin didn''t stop him but, emotionlessly stare at the advancing golem. He wanted to know to what extent this white-haired man''s ability could wield. He is being extra cautious to other participants on this floor. Because, every participant who managed to reach this stage is either lucky or formidable. He absolutely needs to be vigilant. Since, he might encounter the sole survivor of the ''Killer''s Tower'' before, the Light Reaper. He heard before that the ''Light Reaper'' was akin to a death reaper itself, who could kill without batting an eye to anyone, any age or gender. And why he was called the ''Light Reaper''? It''s because, with just a flashed of light, his target will horribly die headless. Although at this stage, he''s still baffled for what might be the reason, why there is only a single survivor before. He cannot understand why there was only one survivor in the past. The system also didn''t give any hint about no one could survive except to the winner. He''s still puzzled, maybe that there is a hidden rule in this event that, after climbing the last floor of the tower, everyone will die except to the winner. Or There might be something big happened before in killer''s tower. He doesn''t know, and he doesn''t care at all. All he needs to do now is to take extra caution. BOOM! BOOM! "Hehehe. A big one is coming!" The white-haired man mumbled while smiling as he looked straight to the advancing golem, without any hint of fear on his face. He then changed his posture by leaning his body forward with his left hand on the ground, and his sword on the right shoulder, then without any cue, a white charging light like lightning, appeared on the white-haired man''s feet. Boom! The ground instantly crumbled, then, without hesitation, the white-haired man bolted straight to the golem, with amazing speed, leaving a trail of white lightning. Whooosh! Clang! Slasssssh! Crack~ A sound of metal colliding with rock resounds followed up by the faint sound of cracking stone. Crack~ Cracking continued. Thud! Then, the giant stone golem, began to crumble to pieces, showing the grinning white-haired man standing so close to the debris of the stone monster. "Wh-What just happened?" Victor stuttering said. He couldn''t believe what he witnessed. He then couldn''t help but think. ''I felt like this is also happened to me before¡­'' With this thought running in his mind, Victor subconsciously turned his head to the right, towards Kim Shin who''s frowning. "Hehehe. What? Don''t like to attack now?" The white-haired man spoke while smiling creepily. ''If you criminals don''t want to move, then die to atone for your sins!'' He thought as he unhesitatingly dashed towards the hunch back old man, who''s not looking at him. Whoosh! In just an instant, the white-haired man appeared before his target and immediately swung down his sword with a wide smile, knowing that he''s about to slay another criminal once again. However, before his sword could hit his target, in just a blink of an eye, a terrifying aura appeared before him, parried his attack that caused a few sparks. Clang! "It seems like your looking down on me." Kim Shin spoke while locking swords with the white-haired man. He felt a little bit annoyed for some reason. Looking at the person at his front, the white-haired man suddenly became serious, knitting his eyebrows. He felt like he saw this man before. ''AH! This is the man I saw on the 1st floor with my uncles!'' He exclaimed internally. Then, as if something snapped in his mind, his red eyes began to glow faintly. "You! You''re the reason why my Uncles died!" The white-haired man screamed out of his lungs, causing Kim Shin to frowned in puzzlement. "Huh?" Kim Shin subconsciously answered. He doesn''t have any idea about this man''s accusation. ''So, they died, that''s why I couldn''t see them.'' Kim Shin thought, clearing his curiosity. However, he still doesn''t know the reason why they died, and why this white-haired man accusing him, his uncles'' killers. Victor, who''s behind Kim Shin got totally jolted back at his senses, after being saved from the death reaper. His back was soaked with cold sweat and thankful at Kim Shin at the same time. Still, he''s also curious at the sudden development. ''This white-haired man seems like have a past encounter with Kim Shin.'' He thought. "I don''t know what you''re talking about." Kim Shin continued as he put force on his arms pushing the white-haired man''s sword, causing the man to forcefully jumped backward. "Don''t deny it! You all criminals are the same!" The white-haired man shouted after jumping back. He then leaped forward at Kim Shin without a hint of hesitation. Whoosh! Clang! A loud sound of collided metal echoed out after Kim Shin threw strike the same time the white-haired man reach him, causing the sword of the man to bounce back a little. "I don''t even know you, and I just met you once." Kim Shin retorted. He then took a big step with his left foot, entering the white-haired man guard, then, he immediately threw a left punch to the abdomen, which timely defended with a skinny arm. BOOM! The impact caused a loud sound followed up by weak shockwave, blowing the white-haired man 6-meters backward, leaving a long footprint on the ground. "Hehehe. You''re different than a common criminal. I couldn''t imagine how many people did you already killed with your strength. Hence, I should enact justice for those people you''ve killed." The psycho white-haired man spoke after a creepy laughed. As if, he didn''t even care about Kim Shin''s previous attack, despite his shaking left hand. Kim Shin frowned at the white-haired man words. He didn''t know what''s wrong with this man. "Hehehehehe. Die!" The white-haired man shouted as he thrust his sword that glowing with red light toward Kim Shin, leaving a trail of red light. Whoosh! ''A skill?'' Kim Shin thought while still frowning. He then hurriedly ordered the watching Victor behind him. "Move far behind, old man!" Then, he lowered his sword, taking a stance. And when the white-haired man''s glowing sword almost reach his chest, few centimeters away, he immediately swung his sword to the left as he stepped back his left foot, and twisting his waist along with his left shoulder counterclockwise, while directing the glowing sword away from him. BOOM! ''Opening!'' Kim Shin exclaimed in his mind after dodging the powerful sword skill. Shockwave exploded out even the sword missed his target. However, before he could make a counter-attack, the sword that just passed him, began to glow with red light once again, surprising him. "Sharp Slash!" The white-haired man uttered. Then, the red glowing sword horizontally swung to his chest once more, which reflexively parried by Kim Shin. However, the attack didn''t end there. It followed up by a slant strike toward his left shoulder. Alas before it could hit him, Kim Shin quickly punched the white-haired man''s abdomen, interrupting the combo, causing the man to blown several meters backward crashing and rolling on the ground. Cough! Cough! The white-haired man coughed a mouthful of blood while still lying on the ground. "Hehehehe. It hurts but, I like it!" The obviously injured man still laughed as he slowly stood up. "You''re insane." Kim Shin commented. "Yeah! I''m insane. So, what if I''m insane? I could still kill you. I''m acting for justice! Hehehehe" The white-haired man replied loudly, without any care about the blood on the corner of his lips. "Heh! How could you kill me with that condition?" Kim Shin said as he smirked. "Are you looking down on me?!" The white-haired man unrestrainedly shouted. He then continued. "Ha! Then, prepare yourself for your¡­ END!" After saying those words, a blinding white light suddenly engulfed the white-haired man. ''Hmm¡­'' Kim Shin frowned deeply as he intently watched the white-haired man who''s shrouded with white light when suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the light and the white-haired man vanished from Kim Shin''s eyesight which surprised him. ''Where he go? Invisibility?'' Kim Shin couldn''t help but thought as he carefully observed his surroundings. Victor also looked around him, afraid that the man might suddenly appear behind him. Then, out of nowhere, a creepy laugh echoed out. "HEHEHEHE¡­" ''Where is he?'' Kim Shin thought. Since he couldn''t pinpoint where the voice came from. While he''s carefully looking to his left and right, a small ball of light emerged out of thin air before his face, and a red glowing sword rushed to him, which greatly surprised him. Then, without a second thought, he immediately activated his speed booster. ''Accelerator'' Then, he hastily leaped backward, dodging the thrusting sword that also brought a wild shockwave, hitting his face, forcing him to close his eyes, as his hair flapped wildly with the strong wind.

''What skill is that?'' 86 Light Reaper Vs. Kim Shin - III While he''s carefully looking at his left and right, a small ball of light emerged out of thin air before his face, and a red glowing sword rushed to him, which greatly surprised him. Then, without a second thought, he immediately activated his speed booster. ''Accelerator'' Then, he hastily leaped backward, dodging the thrusting sword that also brought a strong shockwave, hitting his face, forcing him to close his eyes, as his hair flapped wildly with the strong wind. ''Haaa! It almost got me!'' Kim Shin thought while sighing in his mind. ''What skill is that?'' He doesn''t have any slightest idea about that ball of light that could conceal a whole body figure, while still could perform an attack skill without revealing his self to his opponent. ''This is quite tricky.'' Kim Shin thought in annoyance. Then, despite missing his target, the white-haired man or the ball of light once again vanished in the air, causing Kim Shin to frown in displeasure. "Sneaky rat¡­" He couldn''t help but to mutter. Victor who''s far behind Kim Shin also began to feel the seriousness of the situation. Since the opponent''s ability is unknown to them, and he might die at any moment if he didn''t stay vigilant. Then, while he''s cautiously observing his surroundings, he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his head. ''Old man, take care of yourself and be prepared to shoot any skill under your sleeves.'' ''EH?! Kim Shin?!'' Victor exclaimed in his mind. ''I can hear you old man. Don''t be too loud!'' Kim Shin spoke in his mind as his left eyebrow kept twitching in irritation. ''B-But how?'' Victor said who still couldn''t believe it. ''There''s no time for your questions, I want you to be prepared!'' Kim Shin strongly said. ''Okay!'' Victor immediately replied, since he''s still constrained by ''Blood Oath''. Then, while they are conversing in their minds, the ball of white light suddenly appeared behind Kim Shin with the same red glowing sword thrusting forward. ''Let''s see if you can run this time!'' Kim Shin thought when he felt the incoming sword attack directing to his head. Alas, before the sword could pierce him, he slightly bent his knees and tilted his head to the left, causing the glowing sword to missed and passed him. Then, without any hesitation, Kim Shin grabbed the arm of the white-haired man that also appeared out of the ball of white light, and without any effort, he forcefully pulled the white-haired man''s right hand, and then mightily slammed the surprised man on the ground. BOOOOM! Crack! "Ugh!" The white-haired man groaned in pain, after being slammed on the ground, causing a loud sound and crater around him with dust clouds. Cough! Cough! The white-haired man coughed a mouthful of blood and smiled to Kim Shin who''s looking down on him. Then, he said. "Hehehe. You''re truly powerful!" "Psycho!" Kim Shin uttered as he gripped his sword with both hands, raising it over his head, and furiously slash down on the lying white-haired man. Seeing this, the white-haired man hurriedly rolled over to dodge Kim Shin''s attack. BOOM! Crack~ The ground shook, as Kim Shin''s sword pierced deeply in the ground, making him clicked his tongue in frustration. "Tsk!" "Hohoho. You''re impatient huh?!" The white-haired man smugly said. Then, he continued. "Don''t be full of yourself yet! You can''t kill me with this little damage. Hehehehe" Kim Shin kept his mouth shut, and instead of replying, he began to dash forward with amazing speed. Whoosh! Kim Shin instantly appeared before the crazy man, causing the man to raise his eyebrows in shock. ''Too fast!'' Slash! As, he reached the white-haired man, Kim Shin, didn''t think twice and slashed down his sword, slashing his opponent from left shoulder to the right flank without any difficulty. "Yes! You did it, young man!" Victor exclaimed happily after witnessing Kim Shin able to slice the white-haired man easily. However, despite successfully slashing his opponent, Kim Shin felt something wrong. As if, he cut the air. Then, the slashed man at his front suddenly dispersed in the air, causing Kim Shin to knit his brows as he scrutinized his surroundings. "Hehehe. You almost got me there." A creepy laughed filled the surrounding. Causing Victor who''s celebrating to shidder in fear. "H-How?" Victor stutteringly exclaimed. He couldn''t believe in the situation. He thought that Kim Shin already got the white-haired man. However, he was utterly mistaken. "Since you guys wanted to play with me that bad. Then, I won''t hold back. Hehehehe" After saying those words, the white-haired man materialized 10-meters before Kim Shin. He then pointed his left index finger to Kim Shin and said as he laughed. "I will kill you first! Hehehe." Kim Shin didn''t care about the man''s words. He just kept his poker face. However, deep inside, he is actually quite wary about the white-haired man''s abilities. He didn''t know what kind of skills does this man have. Then, after that, electrifying light aura appeared out of the white-haired man''s entire body, causing his white hair blew up and down. SPARK! BOOOM! Shockwaves occurred as the white-haired man aura erupted, causing a wide crater around him. "Hahaha! Witness the power that my uncles gave to me before they passed away!" The white-haired man cockily said as his sword also engulfed by the electrifying light aura. "I, Clay Dawson, will kill you all criminals in the name of justice!!! Hehehehe" ''Clay Dawson?'' Kim Shin thought after he heard the white-haired man declaration. Whoosh! Clay immediately bolted towards Kim Shin, with amazing speed, causing Kim Shin to stared in amazement. ''He became faster¡­'' He thought when he found that Clay''s speed is faster compared earlier. Then, Clay eventually appeared before Kim Shin and said with a smile. "Die!" He then powerfully swung down his sword towards Kim Shin''s head. Alas, even with Clay''s current speed, Kim Shin agility was still on another level, with just a simple maneuver, Kim Shin instantly appeared behind Clay. Then, without hesitation, Kim Shin thrust his sword to the left side of Clay''s back. However, before his sword could land a hit, Clay suddenly turned to a ball of light, dodging Kim Shin''s strike. ''Damn!'' Kim Shin swore in his mind in frustration, seeing his attack missed his target once again, "Hehehe¡­" A creepy laughed resound behind him, causing Kim Shin to hastily spun around as he swung his sword. Swish! However, Clay wasn''t there and Kim Shin hit nothing but empty air. "Hehehe. I was scared for a few moments there. Hehehehe." Clay''s creepy voice filled the surroundings once again. ''This can''t continue! I need to find a way to interrupt or cancel this man''s skill¡­'' Kim Shin thought, realizing that he wouldn''t be able to kill this man if this continued. ''I need something that could stop that man from turning to a ball of light¡­'' ''What can I do?'' Whoosh! While he''s thinking a way to kill his opponent, his enemy didn''t idle anymore. Clay appeared once again before Kim Shin, "Don''t try to run from your crime! Hehehe!" Clay said hysterically while his red eyes glowed sharply as he swung his sword down to Kim Shin''s left shoulder. However, Kim Shin already predicted this, without any hesitation, he strongly jumped backward, creating a large distance between them. Even so, Clay didn''t stop his assault, he suddenly emerged out behind Kim Shin. ''Shit!'' Kim Shin cursed internally when he felt Clay''s presence behind him. "You can''t dodge this time! Hehehehehe." Clay spoke and wickedly laughed. He then took the opportunity to thrust Kim Shin''s back to the heart. PSSH! "Hehehe. I killed another criminal¡ª" "Who are you joking?" Clay was about to celebrate when he heard Kim Shin''s voice behind him, causing him to stopped at his words. Then, Kim Shin''s body that he pierced suddenly vanished into thin air. Puchi! ''Afterimage? I-It can''t be! Ugh!'' Clay thought in disbelief as he felt a hot thing piercing his back to his heart, followed with intense pain, Cough! Cough! Clay vomited blood as he looked with wide eyes on the sword that pierced out of his chest. "N-No way! I-I can''t die¡­ Cough!" Clay weakly uttered as he coughed in pain and dropped his knees on the ground, causing another pain when the sword pulled out of his chest. Hearing Clay''s words, Kim Shin couldn''t stop saying. "Yes, you can!" He then didn''t give Clay any more chance to fight, he immediately cut the white-haired man''s neck. Slash! Thud! Clang! Blood sprayed out as Clay''s body lifelessly fell on the ground, followed up by the clanging sound of the sword. Seeing this, Victor carefully asked Kim Shin. "Did we got it this time?" Afraid to another false hope, like what happened earlier, "Hey, young man!" Victor called out once again, feeling confused. He didn''t know why Kim Shin is still looking at Clay''s corpse. Kim Shin actually hear Victor''s call. However, he felt that this wasn''t the end since the system didn''t announce that he successfully killed the person. Receiving KP should come quickly after killing Clay. However, it still not coming yet. Then, while he''s intently observing Clay''s corpse, a blinding white light erupted out of Clay''s body forcing Kim Shin to close his eyes. Victor also closed his eyes while thinking. ''What''s happening?'' Crack! Crack! Cracking sounds of bones could be heard, followed up with eerie but familiar voice. "I thought I was a goner that time! HEHEHEHE!" ''Shit! He''s still alive!'' Kim Shin thought as he hurriedly jumped backward without a second thought at all. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Then, when the white light fades away, Kim Shin and Victor finally managed to open their eyes again and saw a 4-meter tall white light human figure in a worn-out robe with a giant scythe as it floats in the air. "What is that?!" Victor exclaimed in terror. "Light Reaper!" Kim Shin yelled out, utterly surprised at the light figure before them. 87 Light Reaper Vs. Kim Shin - IV ''Shit! He''s still alive!'' Kim Shin thought as he hurriedly jumped backward without a second thought at all. Then, when the white light fades away, Kim Shin and Victor finally managed to open their eyes again and saw a 4-meter tall white light human figure in a worn-out robe with a giant scythe as it floats in the air. "What is that?!" Victor exclaimed in terror with his eyes froze open. "Light Reaper!" Kim Shin yelled out, utterly surprised at the light figure before them. ''Although I had a guess earlier that this might be the light reaper. But, I still couldn''t believe that I was right..'' Kim Shin thought as he narrowed his eyes. And how could he said that this is the Light Reaper? It''s because of the famous rumor he heard before. ''Light Reaper'' is an immortal! Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Instead of dying, the light reaper will come back to life and much stronger. However, Kim Shin believed that ''Light Reaper'' is not Immortal. Maybe it''s a skill with a heavy penalty. That''s why Light Reaper can''t use it every time. Screech! "Aww! That hurts!" The light reaper unleashed an ear-splitting shout, causing Victor to cried in pain as he covered his ears with both hands. While Kim Shin, on the other hand, didn''t have any reaction to it. "I will kill you! I will kill you! I will..." The Light Reaper muttered continuously after the loud screech. BOOM! Then, out of nowhere, powerful light aura exploded out of Light Reaper''s body, causing shockwaves and a large crater on the ground. Whoosh! While Kim Shin was warily observing the Light Reaper, a beam of light sped through him. ''Shit!'' He cursed as he unhesitatingly activated his pseudo dragon body and hurriedly crossed his arms before him to defend from the sudden attack. BOOOM! "Young man!" Victor loudly called out, worried about Kim Shin''s condition. ''It''s strong!'' Kim Shin couldn''t help but comment in his mind when he felt the power of the beam as he got forcefully push back. Then, he thought. ''I need to get away from this!'' Thus, without hesitation, Kim Shin forcefully jumped and did back flip in the air, causing the beam to pass over him. Nevertheless, the beam continued to shoot forward until it hit on the wall, causing a loud explosion and faintly shook the ground. Fortunately, the beam direction was far from Victor''s location. Tap! Kim Shin''s feet softly landed on the ground. However, when he just landed on the ground, a giant light with a figure of scythe came rushing to the right side of his neck. "Look out!" Victor loudly warned Kim Shin. Without a pause, Kim Shin ducked his head and the giant scythe passed over him that still brought a strong gale. "Teddy, I think you need to wake up now!" Kim Shin softly said to the pale white puppy on his head as he jumped backwards dodging the scythe that slashing on him once again. Teddy is actually sleeping when they just got here on the 9th floor, and even with a battle that goes on, the polar bear still didn''t wake up. Magically, Teddy didn''t fall from Kim Shin''s head, even with Kim Shin''s movements and flipping in the air. Awoo? ''Why?'' Teddy questioned, but his eyes were still close. "Try to open your eyes and you will know! Oh, shit!" Kim Shin immediately answered as he cursed when he saw the incoming beam of light once again. Then, without delay, Kim Shin gestured his left hand like a gun and uttered. "Air Bullet!" BANG! BANG! BANG! Whoosh! Three consecutive air with a speed of bullet fire straight to the beam of light, causing a white smoke every time the air bullet collided with the beam. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! However, those air bullets aren''t enough to stop the incoming beam. It continued to shoot towards Kim Shin and Teddy. Awoo! "Brother!" Teddy howled as he jumped down of Kim Shin''s head with intention of blocking the incoming attack. "No! Teddy!" Kim Shin hurriedly called out in shock with widely open eyes. He never expected that Teddy will jump down of his head. While on the rear, Victor watched with a gaping jaw. BOOOM! A deafening explosion filled the surroundings after Teddy got hit by the powerful beam of light, causing a huge white smoke of clouds that engulfed Teddy''s entire figure. "T-Teddy?" Kim Shin stammeringly muttered with moist eyes. Then, inside the cloud of smoke, there''s a flash of dark blue lightning, like an incoming storm, followed by a thunderous roar that cleared the white smoke, showing the huge polar bear with flickering dark blue aura on its body. ROAR! "Teddy!" Kim Shin joyously called witnessing Teddy''s unharmed condition. "I will kill you! I will kill you! I..." The Light Reaper continuously mumbled like a broken tape. ROAR! "You dare to touch my brother?! I will kill you!" Teddy roared out and carelessly charge towards the floating Light Reaper. "No, don''t!" Kim Shin loudly shouted, hoping to stop the fast advancing Teddy. However, despite his call, Teddy proceeds to move forward without any care at all, causing weak tremors on the ground. BOOM! BOOM! ROAR! Reaching the Light Reaper, Teddy released a deafening roar and threw a swift three consecutive slashes with his claws that were shrouded with electrifying aura. Swish! Swish! Swish! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Teddy''s blows caused a thundering sound every time his claws landed on the Light Reaper''s torso. However, the Light Reaper didn''t react at all, it just stared his golden eyes on the furious polar bear. Then, the cut that Teddy''s inflicted on Light Reapers'' body was immediately healed up, as if nothing happened. ''N-No way!'' Teddy thought when he witnessed that his attack aren''t working. "I''ll kill you! I''ll kill you!" The Light Reaper who''s continuously mumbling suddenly, swung his giant scythe towards the dumbfounded Teddy. ''Oh no!'' Teddy thought in horror as he closed his eyes, knowing that he couldn''t dodge it. Clang! However, the pain that he''s waiting for did not come. Instead, a loud sound of colliding metal filled the surroundings. He then heard a familiar voice. "What are you dazing for, Teddy?" ''Eh? Brother?!'' Teddy thought. He then opened his eyes, and he saw Kim Shin before him, blocking the giant scythe, who appeared after using Blink skill. "Arggghhh!" Kim Shin screamed out as he got pushed back by the giant scythe. He then spun in the air, shifting away from the Light Reapers attack. BAM! After landing on the ground, Kim Shin unhesitatingly dashed forward again as he spoke. "Teddy, run now!" Whoosh! Without any question, Teddy ran back towards Victor''s side. "Haaa! Air Bullet!" Bang! Bang! Bang! Screech! The Light Reaper forced to release an aguish scream, as his glowing body became slightly dim, as if, his power were about to go down. ''His receiving damage?'' Kim Shin thought quizzically as he narrowed his eyes. ''Old man, shoot any magic attack!'' Kim Shin hurriedly ordered Victor in his mind. ''Wah?! Okay, I understand!'' Victor immediately answered after a short pause. Victor then pointed his magic stick to the Light Reaper and chanted. "Earth Smash!" Crack! A yellow-gold magic circle appeared before his black magic stick. Then, followed by a chunk of solid rock and it flew straight to Light Reaper''s head. BOOM! Screech! Victor accurately hit Light Reaper''s head, who screeched in pain. ''Although it''s faint, it obviously became dimmer...'' Kim Shin thought while narrowing his eyes as, he dodged the scythe. Boom! The ground shook heavily when the scythe pierced on the ground, causing a huge cloud of dust. ''Continue attacking, old man!'' He commanded. ''Roger!'' Victor responded. He then quickly shoot another magic attack. "Earth Smash!" Whoosh! BOOM! Screech! Kim Shin also didn''t idle, he followed Victor''s attack with Air Bullet as he evaded every attack that the Light Reaper threw. After several minutes of firing magic, the glowing light body of Light Reaper obviously dimmed by half. ''We can do it!'' Victor thought happily. Feeling satisfied that he''s able to help Kim Shin for the first time. Then, after a few moments, the Light Reaper eventually fell on the ground, changing back to its original form with an unknown condition. "Huff! Huff! We finally did it!" Victor exclaimed as he gasped for air, obviously exhausted by the continuous firing magic. "Yes, you''re right..." Kim Shin softly answered. Awoo! ''Brother!'' Teddy called out as he dashed towards Kim Shin. "Hahaha. I''m glad your safe, Teddy!" Kim Shin spoke while he caressed Teddy''s neck. "You also scared me to death that time, Teddy!" Victor interjected. Teddy silently stared at the hunch back old man. Then, after a few seconds, he ran to Victor and licked the old man''s wrinkled face. Awoo! ''Sorry!'' "AH! Stop, Teddy!" Victor complained. He then continued. "H-Help me, young man!" However, Kim Shin didn''t help the poor Victor. But, instead, he laughed at the old man misery. "Hahahaha!" Amidst their happy conversation, an arrogant voice echoed out. "Bravo! You guys really took down that scary wimpy!" Followed up with loud applause. Clap! Clap! Clap! "I thought I would regret killing his uncles after his sudden change in strength. However, you guys took down that kid for me. Thank you very much!" The arrogant man said. Kim Shin and others looked far ahead, where the Light Reaper is lying, and they found a long black-haired man, seems like in his twenties. Clad in heavy steel armor and armed with a two-handed steel sword. Behind him, where two more guys, dressed in a maroon robe and the other one is clad in silver light armor. Seeing this, Kim Shin sharply stared at the trio as he spoke grimly. "So you guys are the reason why Clay became like that eh?!" "Yeah, we are. That''s why we''re very grateful at you guys for killing that wimpy kid for us! Hahaha." The man in the robe spoke arrogantly and laughed like a madman. "Yo¡ª..." Kim Shin who''s about to speak suddenly, stop and looked towards the lying Clay. ''He''s still not dead?'' Kim Shin thought when he saw Clay twitching on the ground. "Hence, to show how grateful we are, we will give you a compensation gift!" The long black-haired man said. "We don''t need that!" Victor loudly answered. "Of course, you need it!" The black-haired man replied. Then, he continued with a smile. "Boys!" Shing! The two men behind him began to unsheathed their weapons. "Kill them! This is our gift! We will let you guys follow that wimpy kid in hell! Hahahaha." The long black-haired man announced, and the two men behind him immediately advance forward. "Young man, what should we do?" Victor questioned Kim Shin. "Nothing." Kim Shin simply answered. "Huh? Why?" Victor confusedly asked. Feeling puzzled at Kim Shin''s answer. "Because we don''t need to." Kim Shin mysteriously answered. "Huh¡ª?" Victor still couldn''t understand Kim Shin meaning, until he saw the lying Clay slowly and shakily stood up. "I''ve finally found you three rats!!!" Clay eerie voice filled the surroundings. 88 Signing Contract with a Devil "Kill them! This is our gift! We will let you guys follow that wimpy kid in hell! Hahahaha." The long black-haired man announced and the two men behind him immediately advance forward. "Young man, what should we do?" Victor questioned Kim Shin. "Nothing." Kim Shin simply answered while staring toward the two men, who are quickly dashing to their location. "Huh? Why?" Victor confusedly asked. Feeling puzzled at Kim Shin''s answer. He didn''t know what the heck this young man thinking to do nothing in the face of their assailants. "Because we don''t need to." Kim Shin mysteriously answered. "Huh¡ª?" Victor still couldn''t understand Kim Shin meaning, until he saw the lying Clay slowly and shakily stood up. Which truly surprised him, he thought that they already got that insane white-haired man. "I''ve finally found you three rats!!!" Clay eerie voice filled the surroundings. Although seemingly forceful, Clay''s voice was still filled with oppressing aura. ''Is he really an immortal?'' Kim Shin confusedly thought, however, he quickly shook his head. ''No, he''s only forcing himself right now...'' "Y-You''re still alive?!" The long black-haired man stammered with wide-open eyes, utterly shocked at the sudden situation. While the two advancing men abruptly stop as they shivered in fright. Who thought that the lifeless man is now standing before them. Seemingly prepared to take his vengeance. Then, without any ounce of hesitation, they immediately ran beside the long black-haired man. "How can I die when you three are still alive and kicking?" Clay faintly answered. But, his voice was obviously filled with vengeful energy. "Big Brother Maggard, what should we do now?" The man in maroon robe asked the long black-haired man. "Tsk!" Maggard clicked his tongue before he answered as he narrowed his eyes in displeasure. "Don''t be fooled by him, he''s too weak to fight us with his current condition." "And how about those guys at the back?" Whispered by the man in silver light plate armor. "Them?" Maggard subconsciously said as he stared at Kim Shin''s location. ''Hmm. Base on the battle that they had, I''m sure they are also exhausted to fight, we could kill them with a slight difficulty.'' He certainly thought. "Don''t mind them that much, but, don''t let your guards down!" Maggard said as he looked at the two men before him. He then continued. " You two, kill the white-haired kiddo first, I will keep my eyes on those maggots at the back." "Okay!" "Roger!" The two men immediately response as they nodded their heads and slowly walked toward Clay. "Anton, want to bet who''s going to take the last hit to kill that kid?" The man in maroon robe spoke to the man in silver light plate armor, Anton, as he smiled cockily. "Haha. Don''t be too conceited Yao, just because you won previously. This time I''ll be the winner!" Anton snickered as he then proudly claimed and waved his iron long sword. "Hehehe. Then, let''s see about that." Yao replied after a chuckle as he gripped his iron dagger on his right hand and without further ado he quickly dashed toward the motionless Clay. Whoosh! "Hey! Wait!" Anton shouted and he also sprinted forward. Whoosh! Seeing this, Victor couldn''t help but asked Kim Shin. "Do we really just going to watch like this?" Kim Shin heard this, causing him to frowned deeply as he turned his head and said while sharply glaring at the hunch back old man. "What? Do you want to help that man? Don''t forget that he planned to kill us earlier!" Being pointed with Kim Shin''s killing glare, Victor couldn''t stop himself from stepping back. "N-No, I''m sorry." Victor stammered as he quickly apologized to Kim Shin. ''Yes, Kim Shin is right. What the hell I''m thinking?'' He thought and kept his mouth shut while focusing on the battle. Seeing that Victor turned silent, Kim Shin turned his head and intently focused his attention on the fight. Although he said that to Victor, he also had thought before that it will be super great to have the Immortal Light Reaper by his side. A powerful companion that''s what he thought previously. However, their first meeting was evidently not good. Hence, he exclude that thought right away. He was disappointed that he failed to get this powerful figure as a companion. Alas, it seems like heaven''s luck is truly shining down on him. After the failure, he found another opportunity to seize the Light Reaper. ''Hehe, it seems like fate doesn''t want us to be companions. But, no one can''t stop me this time, even the Gods! I will grab everything I want!'' Kim Shin resolutely thought that he subconsciously smiled like a madman as he clenched his right hand to a fist while leaking an oppressing aura. ''Hmm?'' Victor was forced to look at Kim Shin, who''s emitting a heavy aura that made him breathe hardly. Clang! Sparks scattered as Clay''s sword and Yao dagger collided. The first clash forced Yao to take a few steps backwards while Clay was pushed a single step back. ''How could he still have that energy to push me back?'' Yao couldn''t help but think in shocked. "Get away!" Anton screamed out behind the dazed Yao as he sprinted forward, holding his long sword that shining with yellow lights. "What?!" Yao bellowed as he looked behind me, just to discover the glowing sword of Anton that about to hack down. Seeing this, he hurriedly leaned backward with a shrieked. "Long Slash!" Anton roared, and he swung down his sword diagonally to Clay''s left shoulder that left a fading yellow trail. Despite the distance of approximately 3-yards. Anton''s sword easily reached his target. However, before he managed to cut his target, Clay suddenly vanished from his position leaving an afterimage. Slash! ''Shit! Afterimage!'' Anton cried out as he cursed in his mind. ''Where is he?'' He thought while anxiously looking around him. Then, he heard Yao''s yelled. "At your left!" ''Left?'' Anton then immediately turned at his left side and saw the glaring Clay who''s floating, a meter above the ground and about to hack him to half. "Die..." Clay softly spoke feeling drained as he swung his sword horizontally, which reflexively blocked by Anton who did positioned his sword vertically before him.

I miss at this point?!'' Clay disappointedly thought. As a matter of fact, Clay was originally about to die earlier. Who''s gonna doubt him? Kim Shin and Victor''s damage were definitely large. With Kim Shin high stats and Victor as a natural magic damage dealer, they extremely brought down the supposed to be Immortal. However, when he''s about to close his eyes eternally, Clay heard the familiar voice of his uncles murderer, which caused him to stand up despite his condition. Now that destiny gave him another chance to achieve his desire vengeance, he''s willing to give his all for this. However, his first strike already drained a lot his stamina and he actually failed to land a hit. "Unforgivable..." Clay muttered with hollow eyes while looking downward. Hearing Clay''s word, Anton felt belittled as his lips twitch in anger and then he said. "Who''s unforgivable, lunatic?" However, Clay didn''t respond, as if, Clay is intentionally ignoring him. "You! Then ignore me until in hell!" Anton bellowed as he raised his sword with both hands over his head and screamed. "Tri Long Slash!!!" Whoosh! Shing! A strong gale sucked around Anton''s sword, as if, they fortifying his sword, then his blade filled with yellow light. "Die!!" Anton cried out as he made a three combo attack which all parried by Clay with a sliver of effort. Clang! Clang! Clang! "I-It can''t be..." As his sword was forced to raised back over his head, Anton muttered in disbelief. Hence, without any hesitation, Clay took a single step forward, entering Anton''s defense. He then, quickly swung his sword horizontally, inflicting a long red mark on Anton''s neck that distinctly not cover with any defensive armor. At first, the long red mark on Anton''s neck was just like a simple scratch. However, it didn''t take long before Anton''s head cut down of his body. A lot of blood gushed out of the headless body as Anton''s head fell on the ground, followed up by his lifeless body. Thud! "Anton!" Maggard hurriedly called out as he dashed to Anton''s corpse. "Second Brother!" Yao also screamed out. But, he couldn''t move an inch, he''s utterly shocked, everything happened too fast for him. Kneeling down before Anton''s corpse, Maggard''s eyes became moist and reddish as he look at Anton''s widened eyes who''s obviously shocked even at his death. He then slowly closed Anton''s eyes with his right hand and glared sharply at Clay. "I WILL KILL YOU!!!" Maggard bellowed furiously, causing a powerful shockwave as his eyes became red like ruby while the veins on his neck and forehead starts to bulge, as if, they are about to explode. The shockwave slammed on Clay that blasted him dozen of meters away. Crack! "Arrrrggghhhh!!!" Maggard roared and the muscles of his entire body start to enlarge as his height became taller. At the same time, Maggard''s armor began to crack. "What''s happening?" Victor inquired Kim Shin, cause he knew that Kim Shin is more knowledgeable than them. Although he heard Victor''s inquiry, Kim Shin didn''t utter a single word, he kept his eyes locked at Maggard. ''What skill is this? Over Boost?'' Kim Shin thought curiously. He knew a skill Over Boost, which can strengthen the user''s ability multiple times for a certain time with an enormous penalty. He heard that a person using that skill could choose their penalty. However, the choices were only for those people prepared to die. He didn''t know if it''s the same with Maggard''s skill. Cough! Cough! Clay who was pushed dozen of meters by Maggard''s shockwave, coughed a mouthful of blood, as he struggled to stand up while holding his head. ''Shit! What''s happening?!'' Clay confusedly thought, as if his mind got suddenly cleared up. Brushing off the blood on the corner of his mouth, Clay then stared at roaring Maggard. ''W-What am I doing here?'' He questioned in his mind. Utterly confused at the current situation. ROAR!!! Maggard unleashed a deafening roar that put Clay on daze state while his ears in pain. Bzzzz! "Urgh!" As his ears only hear a buzzing sound, Clay covered his ears with both hands, while grimacing in pain. Then, at the corner of his eyes, he saw a muscular, tall man, and then he felt an intense pain on his abdomen, causing him to vomited a lot of blood as his eyes bulge out as if it''s about to fall out of his socket. "Blurgh!" BOOOOM! Crack! A booming sound filled the surroundings as Clay flew dozen of meters away and heavily slammed and crashed on the reddish wall of the labyrinth, creating a large crater around him. Thud! Clay slowly slid down, face on the ground. Cough! Cough! Cough! Blurgh! "I-It hurts!" Clay uttered agonizingly, as he vomited blood. The pain also made his vision blurry. Then, out of nowhere, feet appeared before him, Clay stretched his right hand and touched the foot. "P-Please, H-Help me..." Clay pleaded, hoping that the owner of this foot will be a noble man and kindly save him. However, contrary to his hoping for, the foot his holding on suddenly step on his hand. "Agh!" Clay cried in pain. However, the man didn''t stop at stepping on his hand, it powerfully kicked Clay on the face, forcing Clay to blasted away towards Kim Shin and Victor''s location. BOOM! Crash! "Young man, what should we do now?" Victor asked that couldn''t hide his emotion and worry to Clay even though Clay just attempted to kill them. However, deep inside his mind, Victor knew that Kim Shin won''t help this kid. Yet, contrary to his expectation, Kim Shin suddenly smiled and walked towards the dying man. "It''s about time." Kim Shin muttered as he approached Clay. "Please, h-help me..." Clay begged once again, even though he don''t know who is this man. "What can you do if I help you?" Kim Shin retorted. "Anything! I will do anything!" Clay answered desperately. "Sorry, but I couldn''t believe your words. I want you to take Blood Oath!" Kim Shin said with a grin on his face. 89 Killing Maggard "It''s about time." Kim Shin muttered as he approached Clay. "Please, h-help me..." Clay begged once again, even though he doesn''t know who this man is. "What can you do if I help you?" Kim Shin retorted. "Anything! I will do anything!" Clay didn''t think twice to answered immediately as the blood on his mouth flew out, obviously desperate to get some help. "It''s regretful that I couldn''t accept your words¡­" Replied by Kim Shin as he turned silent. Kim Shin''s words caused Clay to lose hope. However, before he could wholeheartedly accept his demise, Kim Shin continued to talk. "I want you to take Blood Oath!" Kim Shin said as he grinned. Although he desired so bad to get this man as his companion, it wasn''t enough to believe just by Clay''s verbal promise. It''s necessary to have assurance so that Clay won''t be able to betray them. "I-I will! P-Please save me!" Without an ounce of hesitation, Clay strongly answered and pleaded. "Very well!" Kim Shin spoke as he turned around, stared and smile to Maggard. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. He is extremely overjoyed right now! ''Hahaha. Wait for me, Arthur Rothschild!'' Clay didn''t know that his decision at this time will be like a contract to a devil. Nevertheless, he will realize one day that this will be the wisest decision he made in his entire life. "Hmph! So, you''ve decided to die early eh?" Maggard spoke arrogantly with a menacing and blaring voice as he raised his chin. Seeing Maggard''s cocky attitude, Kim Shin couldn''t help but smirked as he shook his head. After that, he scrutinized Maggard''s current physique. Previously Maggard''s long black hair only reached his robust wide shoulder. However, his hair now became much longer, reaching the centre of his back. While Maggard''s eyes became crimson like fire, and his entire torso was now unarmed, as his armor broke apart by his transformation, showing his bare-chest and bulging abdominal muscles. Maggard''s transformation changed his height from 1.8 meter to approximately 4 meter tall. It''s absolutely incredible that it could intimidate a spineless person. "Since you wanted to kill me earlier with a laughable reason. Then, I think it''s acceptable even if I execute you¡­" Kim Shin stated while grinning like a maniac as he took a stance, gripping his sword on his right hand. "Hahahaha. Good, good. Very Good!" Maggard burst out laughing as if he heard the best joke he heard in his entire life before he wickedly smiled to Kim Shin with a grim expression, as he reached out his two-handed steel sword on his back and positioned it before him. After that, Kim Shin and Maggard only stared at each other for a moment. On the other hand, Victor and Yao whose behind their particular party leaders were soaked in sweat, because of the oppressive aura that Kim Shin and Maggard emitting. Victor''s sweat from his forehead, trail down to his cheeks, down to his chin before it slowly fell on the ground. Drip! As if it''s the cue, Kim Shin and Maggard powerfully dashed to each other. "HAA!" Kim Shin shouted. "DIE!" Maggard bellowed. Clang! Screamed out by both of them as they hack down their swords at the same time, causing a loud sound and sparks that scattered everywhere. Crack! The ground around Kim Shin''s feet immediately cracked like-web at the first collision. While, Maggard, on the other hand, was pushed faintly as he frowned in displeasure and growled before forcefully swung down his two-handed sword once more. Seeing this, Kim Shin reflexively jumped several meters backward, successfully evading Maggard''s attack. BOOM! Smoke dust occurred when Maggard''s sword dug deep in the ground. ''He''s quick!'' Maggard and Yao thought at the same time, as they witnessed Kim Shin''s agility. Although they saw them earlier how they fought the Light Reaper, Maggard and Yao still couldn''t believe now that they are facing the actual Kim Shin. Blocking his vision of Kim Shin, Maggard decided to move forward. However, before he could move an inch, an air bullet pierced through the smoke and swiftly rushing to him. ''Tsk! Child trick!'' Maggard thought in annoyance, as he effortlessly cut the air bullet with his sword. Fwoosh! As he just defended Kim Shin''s air bullets, Maggard heard a quick approaching sound behind the dust cloud. "Show yourself!" He shouted. Whoosh! Just as Maggard''s words ended, Kim Shin swiftly appeared out of the dust smoke and immediately dashed straight to Maggard, holding his sword''s hit that about to thrust. "Brute Smash! " Maggard loudly pronounced as his two-handed sword shone with a red light. ''Shit! Why do I don''t have any beginner sword skills? It will not take long before this sword break if I always took a powerful sword''s skill.'' Kim Shin cursed in his mind as he unhesitatingly glided to the left, dodging Maggard''s assault. However, contrary to his expectation, Maggard didn''t immediately smash down his sword, But instead, it suddenly smiled to Kim Shin before muttering softly. ''Shit!'' Kim Shin swore when he saw this, and Maggard suddenly vanished from his position. "Where are you looking at?" Maggard''s voice rang around on his left ears. "DIE! Brute Smash!" BOOOOOM! The ground shook by the impact, creating a huge dust cloud that engulfed Kim Shin. "Kim Shin!" Awoo! ''Brother!'' Victor and Teddy anxiously called out. Though they knew Kim Shin is formidable, but they still couldn''t help but worry every time Kim Shin fought a powerful enemy. "Nice!" Yao exclaimed loudly, as he raised his fist over his head. "Hahaha, your leader won''t be able to escape from my big brother''s hand!" Yao jovially laughed before vigorously stated, feeling proud at his brother''s deed as if he''s the one who did it. Despite Yao''s arrogant statement, Victor and Teddy kept their mouth shut. ''Kim Shin won''t die that easily!'' Victor and Teddy thought in their minds. While the dying Clay on the ground trembled in the thought that his only saviour will die just like that. ''Is he dead?'' "Fool!" Kim Shin uttered which resounded on the surroundings. Hearing Kim Shin''s voice, Maggard narrowed his eyes as he waved his sword, clearing the dust smoke away. Fwoosh! As the cloud of dust cleared out, Maggard quickly scanned the surroundings. However, Kim Shin was nowhere to be found. ''Where is he?'' He confusedly thought, as he, heightened his senses, afraid that Kim Shin would suddenly appear out of nowhere and stab him. ''Where is Kim Shin?'' Victor also thought as he looked around. Still, he couldn''t find Kim Shin until Teddy suddenly howled. Awoo! ''Hmm?'' Maggard hurriedly looked towards the howling polar bear. ''Tsk!'' "Air Bullet!" Kim Shin''s voice resounded once again. Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh! ''Where the heck is he?!'' Everyone thought as a swift air shoot down on frustrated Maggard. BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! Three consecutive explosions erupted around Maggard, followed by a faint shook of the ground and huge dust smoke, hiding Maggard''s entire figure. "Big Brother!" Yao worriedly called out. However, his worry immediately vanished after Maggard blew away the huge cloud of dust with his two-handed sword as he looked upwards. "Come down here! DON''T HIDE YOURSELF IN THE DARK!" Maggard furiously beckoned. He didn''t know how could Kim Shin hid himself in the darkness above the ground. Does he have a flying ability? Of course, Kim Shin doesn''t have a flying skill, he used BLINK skill before Maggard could hit him, and he appeared 20 yards above the ground, and then he used GLIDE skill and lunge his long sword deep in the wall. And he''s now standing on the hilt of his sword while looking downwards, directly at Maggard''s direction. ''How high this tower really is?'' Kim Shin questioned internally, as he looked upwards but, he couldn''t see the roof of this floor. "So, you won''t really like to go down here huh?! Then watch above there how I will kill your companions!" Maggard''s voice echoed out once more. "You dare?!" Kim Shin shouted as he jumped down and held on the hilt of his sword. He then kicked his feet on the wall, forcing the sword to surfaced out of the wall and Kim Shin began to fall downwards. Whoosh! "Hehehe¡­" Maggard chuckled while looking upwards as he thought. ''Come here, before you could touch the ground you''re already dead!'' "HAAA!" Kim Shin shouted as he positioned himself and sword in thrusting and diving motion, that split the air open. "Come!" Maggard bellowed and softly muttered under his breath. "Whirlwind Hack!" Bzzz! Maggard''s sword on his right side diagonally downwards, suddenly buzzed and shone with scarlet lights. "DIEEEEEEEEE!!!" Maggard bellowed passionately as he was about to spin around. However, before he could make it, a lightning-fast salmon light flashed and pierced his temple, as he suddenly felt light-headed. ''What''s happening?'' He thought in confusion as he lost consciousness. SLASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH! BOOOM! Shockwaves erupted when Kim Shin heavily landed on the ground, shooking the ground and causing a huge cloud of dust. THUD! Maggard fell on the ground with a huge cut line from his head down to its waist, then, Maggard''s corpse suddenly cut horizontally in half, absolutely dead. "B-Big brother?! BIG BROTHER!!!" 90 System Order: Pledge Pact! "Big brother!!!" Yao screamed on the top of his lungs, and he scampered towards Maggard''s corpse while trembling in fright, as he couldn''t control his body, causing him to trip down on the ground. However, despite that, Yao still approached his brother by crawling on the ground as he burst into tears. Yao didn''t know what happened, since Kim Shin smoothly activated his ''Soul Control'' killing Maggard effortlessly. Reaching Maggard''s body that had cut in half, Yao immediately held his brother''s corpse, drenching his hands with his big brother''s blood, as he spoke while trying to mend Maggard''s body. "B...Brother?! N-No brother, please don''t leave me alone!" Kim Shin on the other hand, after killing Maggard, leisurely walked toward at Clay''s direction, and upon reaching the white-haired man, he looked down and said. "I already fulfilled my promise. So, I hope you''re not those kinds of guys that backing at their words after achieving their goal. Also, just a friendly reminder, I could kill you if I desire!" Kim Shin''s friendly reminder sent a chill down to Clay''s spine. Then, after a moment of struggling, Clay finally managed to sit on the ground, he then exhaled before looking directly to Kim Shin''s dark blue and mesmerizing eyes. Before saying seriously. "You don''t need to worry. I''m sincere at my words. Although, it''s weird to say but, you can trust me!" As he end those words, silence filled the surroundings, as Kim Shin and Clay stared at each other. "And let me thank you for listening in my absurd request. Though it wasn''t enough, please accept this..." Clay continued as he suddenly bowed to Kim Shin. Clay was sincerely grateful at Kim Shin''s help. It''s hard to believe that there is a person in this insane world that willing to help a stranger like him, despite the possibility of betrayal. Still in bowing position, Clay couldn''t control himself anymore and he burst into tears. "Sob! Sob!" ''Uncles! Although I''m not the one who slew the prime killer of your deaths, I''m still proud to say that I''ve finally achieved justice for all of you. I hope you''ll are happy now, wherever you guys are!'' Kim Shin saw and felt the sincerity in Clay''s words, as he stared at the weeping young-man. Though he does have a lot of question to Clay, he still understood that this is not the right time for this.

Hearing Teddy and Victor''s voices, Kim Shin turned his head to the left and he saw them quickly approaching him, causing him to break into a smile. ''Fortunately, I''m not alone.'' He gladly thought. He was certain that if he traveled all alone, his day will probably boring and full of depressing thought, and there''s a high possibility that might do something insane, or in worst he might go mad. Although it wasn''t that long when Victor and Teddy joined him, it was still enough for them to have and create memories that they could bring in their hearts in their lifetime. "Are you alright, Kim Shin?" Victor concernedly asked. Victor was truly obvious that he is worried about Kim Shin well-being. Since, he called Kim Shin''s full name and not ''young man''. "I''m fine, you don''t need to worry." Kim Shin answered with a smile, as he looked at the pale white cub on Victor''s head. Awoo? ''Really?'' Teddy doubly asked with a faint howl. "Yeah, yeah." Answered by Kim Shin, as he took a single step forward and patting Teddy''s fluffy head. Woo! After that, Kim Shin suddenly stretched his right hand above the sobbing Clay''s head. He then muttered under his breath. "Soul Heal!" Shing! A small magic circle appeared before Kim Shin''s hand, it was shining with purplish light. As the lights fell and touched Clay''s injured body, the white-haired man abruptly stop in crying when a warm feeling run through his body, and he saw at the corner of his eyes, his health bar quickly recovered by 25% which dumbfounded him. Clay then couldn''t help but look at the source of the light, the man who helped him, who he thought was a warrior type was actually has a powerful healing skill. "What are you?" He asked with widened eyes and gaping jaw. Although Victor and Teddy were also surprised, they had enough, they couldn''t count how many times Kim Shin did surprised them. "It should be enough..." Kim Shin said to Clay. "What do you me¡ª?" "You know what I mean." Kim Shin quickly interjected with a meaningful stare. Seeing Kim Shin''s reaction, Clay caught a glimpse of a crying man behind Kim Shin. "Thank you. This is enough." Clay gratefully said as he nodded at Kim Shin, which confused Victor and Teddy. ''What are they talking about?'' When suddenly¡ª Fwoosh! Yao suddenly appeared behind Clay and quickly activated a skill, as his dagger shone with crimson light. "Multiple Vital Stab!" Yao shouted as he stabbed his dagger to Clay''s back multiple times. BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! Clouds of dust surfaced, instantly engulfing Yao and Clay''s figure as the impact caused a loud explosion that also brought shockwaves. Fwoosh! ''A sneak attack?!'' Victor thought in worry while crossing his arm before him. BOOOM! Clang! Fwoosh! A human figure rocketed out of the huge cloud of dust, and it flew a dozen meters away before eventually crashing on the ground, causing a web-like cracked around it. Crack~ Yao didn''t breath and move an inch after that! "Thank you for granting me this opportunity, Mr. Kim Shin! No, Young master!" Clay''s voice suddenly echoed out as the cloud of dust dissipated. "Young Master?!" Awoo?! Victor and Teddy yelped in astonishment. This formidable young man was actually willing to treat Kim Shin as his young master! "I''m already prepared to take that Blood Oath." Clay continued, causing Kim Shin to smiled creepily. "Very well then..." ************** Standing at the massive liquid door, Kim Shin turned around and looked at his three companions. "Are you guys, really don''t want to go to the last floor?" He couldn''t help but asked once again. Although they had been talking about this on the way, Kim Shin was surprisingly hesitant to go alone. No one could blame him at all! Having companions in his journey was truly fun, it was different experience. Truly different compared to his two best friends back in the past. "Young Master, you don''t need to worry! I will follow your plan after this, and I''ll promise to become stronger before meeting you.." Clay respectfully said, he finally done the ''Blood Oath'' and he came to know that his young master was shrouded in mystery because of his vast knowledge in the unknown world. "Young man, I''ll promise to see you and repay you for all your kindness one day!" Victor spoke loudly as the corner of his eyes began to moist. He is utterly grateful at Kim Shin, although they first meeting was bad, It''s not enough to ignore all Kim Shin''s kindness given to him. Probably, if Kim Shin didn''t have him as his guard, he is certain that he is already a bone dead body. Kim Shin smiled at their words, as his gaze landed on the pale white cub on Victor. "Teddy..." AWOOOO! ''You''re not going anywhere brother!'' "Hahaha. I''m not going anywhere if you don''t want to. However, you need to make a choice. It''s either make a contract with me as your master or watch me go and leave you alone." Kim Shin mischievously said as he stopped himself from laughing. However, contrary to his expectation, Teddy took this seriously as he yapped loudly and said. "No! I''m willing!'' "System Order! Pledge Pact!" Teddy uttered in his mind as his entire body shone with a pale yellow light. Ding! [Electro Scavenger Bear want to take you as his master! Would you like to accept? (Yes|No)] "Eh?" Kim Shin exclaimed in bewilderment. He didn''t know what happened, he was just teasing Teddy when suddenly the pale white cub began to shone and the system''s window appeared before his eyes. Before he accept it, Kim Shin stared at the white cub for a moment, as he broke into smile before clicking the ''Yes'' button. Fwoosh! Teddy suddenly turned to a ball of light and float in the air for a moment before piercing through Kim Shin''s temple. 91 Farewell | Tutorial End "System Order! Pledge Pact!" Without any hesitation, Teddy closed his eyes and uttered in his mind as his entire body shone with pale-yellow light. ''I don''t want to be left behind. I don''t like my brother to go. I can''t live without my brother. I desire to be with my big brother''s side forever!'' Teddy cried out in his mind filled with emotion and desire. Ding! [Electro Scavenger Bear want to take you as his master! Would you like to accept it? (Yes|No)] An aquamarine translucent System''s window appeared before Kim Shin''s eyes which startled him. He didn''t know what happened. He was just teasing Teddy, he doesn''t have any intention to leave him behind, but he didn''t expect that the pale white cub was willing to this. He didn''t even hesitate to sacrifice his own freedom. ''It seems like I didn''t trust you enough. Forgive me, Buddy.'' Kim Shin apologized to Teddy in his mind as he look at the shining pale white cub. As he stared at the cute pale white cub, he unconsciously broke into smile.

He thought before accepting the role of Teddy''s master. Click! Fwoosh! As he just accepted it, Teddy suddenly turned to a ball of light which jolted Victor and Clay, causing the former to gape in amazement and the latter with widened eyes, as they watched the ball of light floating in the air, before piercing through Kim Shin''s temple with a speed of light. [You''ve acquired a War Pet, Electro Scavenger Cub!] ''So, my expectation is right¡­'' He thought when he saw the system''s notification. ''But¡­ cub?'' He didn''t know why the system stated that Teddy is a cub. Like most of role-playing games, Yggdrasil also has a pet system that differentiate into two types, the mount and battle pet. Pet mount, given its name, a pet used for faster transportation, it''s either riding or flying. The war pets, on the other hand, are a companion pet, they can participate in battles, gain experience and eventually level up. Reaching levels 1, 5, 10, 20, and 30 unlocks new abilities, though each pet may only select three of their five possible abilities to use in battle. Though it stopped at that, war pets could still learn more skills with the help of Pet Skill Book. Rarely, war pets could also learn skills through experience, unlocking their hidden skills within their bloodline. Pet also has different qualities, common, uncommon, rare, unique and legendary. He''s not sure, if there''s a mythic or Divine pet out there. Although he knew about that, Kim Shin is still confused at what happened, how did Teddy able to do this? How the heck he get a pet without a War Pet Training skill? War Pet Training is a passive skill allows you to train, fight and track war pets. A skill that can be learned from the War Pet Trainer. Without any idea of what to do, Kim Shin opened his system. He then found the Pet Tab under the Party Tab. However, it was grayed out, indicating that is locked and not useable for the time being. Phew~ He sighed as his excitement died down. "What happened to Teddy?" Victor questioned Kim Shin. At first, he was worried that something bad is happening at the white cub, however, when he saw the unworried expression of Kim Shin, he instantly understood that everything''s alright. Nevertheless, it couldn''t clear his curiosity about what happened. "He became my pet and¡­ I became his master." Kim Shin simply answered. However, Victor was still clueless about it. "What do you mean?" Phew~ Kim Shin sighed in helplessness. He knew that Victor was unknown to this kind of idea. Hence, he looked toward Clay who''s on the right side of Victor and said, "You could ask Clay about that." Which responded with a nodding head of Clay. "Then, are you guys sure about your decisions?" Kim Shin asked one more time. "Yes, Young Master!" "Yes, Young Man!" Clay and Victor resolutely answered, without any ounce of fa?ade. As he saw the firm expression in their eyes, Kim Shin heaved a sighed once again. He could understand that they are firm and determined at their decisions. "Alright¡­" Kim Shin said and nodded as he scratched the back of his head and broke into a warm smile. "Well, I think this is a farewell¡­ for now?" He said. "Yes, Young Master. You don''t need to worry, I will found you as soon as possible¡­" Clay respectfully said. On the other hand, Victor immediately rushed to Kim Shin and held the latter''s left hand with his both wrinkled hands, which startled Kim Shin. Although a bit surprised with Victor''s act, Kim Shin didn''t pull his hand this time like what he normally do. "Young Man, no. Kim Shin¡­ Thank you. Thank you very much for all your help. Though our first meeting was not that pleasing, it couldn''t erase the fact that you''re the reason why I''m still alive and managed to reach this stage. M-maybe¡­" Victor''s eyes began to moist while talking as he stammered. "Maybe if I didn''t run across to you, and you didn''t told me to take a blood oath to support you, maybe I''m already rotting somewhere in this floor. That''s why I''m extremely thankful that I meet you. Thank you so much, Kim Shin." Victor gratefully said as he bowed at Kim Shin. "No! I''m not the reason why you''re still alive. You, yourself is the main reason why your still alive and breathing, to be exact, it''s your desire and determination to find your family members, if you didn''t chose to accept my absurd demand to take the blood oath but instead, you chose to die? Then, you''re certainly not standing here right now." Kim Shin explained which touched the deepest feelings of Victor, and the old man broke into tears. Sob! Sob! "T-Thank you¡­ Thank you, Kim Shin." Kim Shin then gently tapped Victor''s left shoulder to comfort the hunch back old man, as his eyes suddenly narrowed his while looking far ahead behind Clay in the darkness. "Well, I must go now." Kim Shin stated as he took a few steps backward. "Mm-mh!" Victor and Clay respond. Without further ado, Kim Shin turned around and trod toward the massive dark liquid door, before suddenly stopped when he''s few feet away from the door. "Well, I don''t know what''s gonna happen after I got in. But, always remember to watch your back. See ya!" Kim Shin mysteriously said as he waved them goodbye and walked through the liquid door. Instantly, after Kim Shin entered the last floor, a loud voice of a man resound behind Clay and Victor, followed by explosions. "Attack!!!" "Fireball!" "Sharp arrow!" BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh! ''An ambush?!'' Victor exclaimed in his mind as he immediately turned around just to see the incoming fireballs and raining arrows. ''Shit. I''m dead!'' He cursed internally as he closed his eyes, knowing that he won''t be able to escape his impending death. However, before the fireballs and arrows hit them, the system''s loud notification rang out. [Congratulations! We finally have our Beginner''s Killers King! To other participants! Thank you for joining! Hope to see you again until the next event!] [All the participants will be immediately transferred to their particular guide¡­ 3..2..1!] Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Every participant that still alive in Killer''s Tower was immediately shrouded with a pillar of light and eventually fades away, silencing the entire Tower. ************ Ding! Ding! Ding! While still in closed eyes, the system prompted him, congratulate and notified him after he entered the last floor. ''It seems like I don''t need to worry about that two¡­'' Kim Shin thought as he heaved a sighed in relieved. [You''ve obtained title, Rookie Killer King!] [You''ve obtained 1,000,000 Vol!] [You''ve obtained Divine Elixir!] "Congratulations, we meet again¡­" As the system continuously notified him, a familiar voice suddenly congratulated him. Opening his eyes, he saw the red little imp floating in the air several feet away from him. "Minsk¡­" He softly muttered. "Yes. I''m glad that you still remember this trivial creature." Minsk replied as he grinned. "Where am I? What are you doing here?" Kim Shin immediately asked as he looked around, but he found himself in an endless white room. "Straight to the point huh? I like that. Well, to be exact you''re in the awarding room obviously, and except that I''m your tutorial guide, I''m also the one who''s going to give your award¡­" "Awarding Room? How about the 10th floor?" Kim Shin puzzledly questioned. He''s expecting to fight more formidable opponent, but he didn''t expect that this will be the end of this event. It''s too anticlimactic! "Uhm. Forgive me but I couldn''t answer your question.." Minsk apologized. He then continued, "But, I can give you a hint, I know that you already received the title awarded to you after reaching this place, and I''m certain that you could get a few answers in your question." ''Title? Hmm¡­ The Rookie Killers King title? Rookie? So, there''s a higher title of this? Does it mean I''m not the only person who have this title? Does it mean, there''s also another Killer''s Tower event happening beside this event? Or those people on Yggdrasil also has this kind of title?'' Seeing the silent Kim Shin, Minsk couldn''t help but smiled mysteriously, before saying. "Okay, enough of that, you''re getting left behind with other earthlings who are already in the mainland." Kim Shin jolted back to his senses when he heard Minsk''s words, narrowing his eyes, he asked, "What do you mean?" "The time in this tower is slower compared to the outside world, which means they are already one week advance than you." ''One week? Although I expected this, I didn''t anticipate that it will be this late, I need to get out of here now.'' Kim Shin thought as he glared at the little imp. "Then, what kind of rewards I''m going to receive?" He directly asked. "Hmm... You can choose one of these three items.." Minsk answered as he waved his right hand. Swish! Fwoosh! Three items appeared and floating in the air inside a translucent purple sphere. "The first item is, a pet egg, you can acquire a random pet egg with quality of uncommon to legendary grade, but just a friendly reminder, getting a legendary quality is almost an impossible feat," Minsk said as he pointed his little finger on the plain white egg. "The next item is, a skill book, randomly acquiring skill book type with a grade of common to unique, with a small chance of acquiring a legendary grade, and like what I previously stated, it will be hard to get it." Kim Shin frowned at Minsk''s words as if Minsk has a hidden meaning under his words. "The last item is a special grade long sword. You won''t need to rely in luck to acquire legendary skill or pet, this one is already fixed. Well, the choice is still in yours." Minsk ended as he stared at Kim Shin. ''I see¡­'' Kim Shin thought, finally understood what Minsk is trying to say. ''You want me to choose that weapon?'' After being silent for a moment. "Hahaha. Okay then, I want that sword, give me that sword." Kim Shin chuckled before staring directly at Minsk''s eyes and stating. "Hehehe. You made a wise decision." Minsk answered with a meaningful smile, and with a simple flicked of his finger, the items in the air immediately vanished, followed with a system''s notification. [You''ve received Dark Constellations Devourer!] As he received the sword, Kim Shin immediately brought out it from his inventory. Shing! A long black sword appeared on his right hand, the sword''s hilt is color black and at the end of the hilt is a ying-yang symbol. While the blade of the sword is dark, it also has white circles, connected to other circles like constellations imprinted on it. ''Since the event already ended, I could appraise now once again.'' Hence, without any hesitation, Kim Shin appraised his new sword. [Constellations Devourer] Grade: Special Rare (Magic Weapon) Type: Long Sword Equipment Level: 0 Requirement: N/A ( Additional Attack Power +10 Additional Strength +1 Additional Attack Speed + 10% ) Attacks have: [ 5% chance to cause 50% damage 3% chance to cause 100% damage ] Increase free stats points received for every increase in level by 2 points.

Though I already have in mind to get this, I didn''t expect this to be this kind of weapon. A weapon that could evolve!'' "Now are you ready to leave?" 92 Yggdramerean In the middle of dark night, the surrounding seems peaceful, as the chilly winds softly blew in the air, causing the tree branches and grass on the ground to sway faintly. Above this peaceful scene was two different moons, a large and small moon. The former was glowing with deep sky blue colour like an ocean, while the latter had a crimson radiance, which seems like dyed in blood. The twin moon brilliance was shining down on the black-haired man in a black leather armor, with a scarlet cloak draped over his shoulder, standing beside a huge tree, where there''s fresh blood scattered on its roots. "So what I need to do now? Now that I''m back at level 0." The black-haired man softly muttered under his breath as he gazed sharply on the dimly lit village ahead. With a slight wave of his left hand, a translucent aquamarine system attribute panel appeared before the man''s eyes. [Kim Shin] [Age:19] [Level: 0] [Title: One Who¡­| Chosen One] (5 more¡­) [Class: Death Priest] [Sub Class: N/A] HP: (100/100) MP: (50/50) Energy: (100/100) Defense:4 Attack Speed:11 Movement Speed:10 [Attributes:] Strength: 10 Constitution: 10 Vitality: 10 Dexterity: 10 Intelligence: 10 Senses: 10 Luck: 20 Free Allocation Points (AP): 0 ¡­ Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. ''Sigh! Back again, well, it''s much better than my previous stats...'' He thought in melancholy. Kim Shin''s stats and level were reset back to zero after he arrived at his current location. "I didn''t expect that they also put a limitation on skills..." He muttered under his breath as he looked at his skills. Skills: [Air Bullet Lv.1] (Active) Grade: Common (Upon activation; Three consecutive air with speed of a handgun will instantly appear on the user''s hand) Duration: 2 seconds MP Cost: 20 [Blink Lv.1] (Active) Grade: Rare (Teleport the user instantly until 20 yards forward or backward, depends on user''s imagination) MP Cost: 100 Cooldown: 15 seconds [Dive Lv.1] (Active) Grade: Common (Upon activation; 25% increased movement underwater) Duration: 5 minutes Cooldown: 10 minutes [Sword Mastery Lv.1] (Passive) Grade: Common (Increase 20% Attack Damage when using sword as your weapon) [Martial Arts Lv.1] (Passive) Grade: Common (Increase 10% Attack Damage when fighting hand to hand combat) [Sword''s Will Lv.1] (Passive) Grade: Unique (After making a connection with a sword.

He thought as he saw the different details of his legendary skill. Energy could be earned by meditating and inflicting damages. "Haaa¡­" Kim Shin heaved a sighed in disappointment. ...¡­ Back at the awarding room. "So you want to leave now?" Minsk asked as if he desperately wanted to get away from Kim Shin at any moment. Satisfied at the reward he obtained, Kim Shin nodded in a good mood while still looking at the Constellations Devourer on his right hand. "Very well then, but before you go, let me inform you some basic things that you necessarily need to know, so listen carefully..." Kim Shin nodded in response. He''s waiting for this! Although, he knew what''s going to happen. He still wanted to make sure that he didn''t cause a change in the future. He could understand that a time traveler could create a butterfly effect even the slightest change in history. Thou, he knew that, he could fathom that he did a large changed in the Tutorial history. Kim Shin''s batch supposedly had a couple of survivors. However, thanks to him, a lot of people survived compared before. Staring at Kim Shin''s eyes for a moment, Minsk then continued. "First and foremost, everything that happened in this tutorial is a trial. We need to understand first the human capabilities before implementing the permanent system to every one of you, hence, as the tutorial ends, we finally able to discover human or earthlings certain capabilities." Minsk continue talking while giving Kim Shin a meaningful stare. ''It seems like I''ve been noticed by them...'' He thought as he perceived Minsk''s meaningful stare. ''I need to be cautious with this little demon...'' Although that''s what running in his mind, Kim Shin''s expression was still like a student carefully listening to his instructor''s lesson. "Thus, because everything that happened was a trial, your level will be reset to 0 with zero base stat. While your all skill''s level back to 1..." Kim Shin nodded as Minsk continue speaking. Minsk''s words are the same back in the time. "However, after watching the tutorial, the admins had come to a conclusion. They discovered that humans could wield more power than what they expect..." Suddenly stopping his words, Minsk gave Kim Shin a deep stare. ''I have a bad feeling about this.'' Kim Shin couldn''t help but narrowed his eyes. "Thus, your skills will now have a limitation, and some was unfortunately lowered the effect!" Minsk said as he raised his voice. ''Limitation? Shit, I really did it. I changed the history. This is not supposed to happen!'' Grumbling in his mind, Kim Shin was faintly shaken by Minsk''s revelation. Although he already assume that he slightly changed the history, he never expect that there will be a changed in the system, and skill''s power at all of them! "Besides that, we also change some skills that consuming magic to activate a skill, to energy. Energy could be obtained through inflicting and receiving damages, also you could use breathing exercise." [Basic Breathing Exercise Lv.1] (Passive) Grade: Common (While meditating; energy and magic power natural regeneration will increase by 10%) ''At least, they didn''t change this energy system.'' "That''s the basic of the skills, and for further information, please explore it by yourself. Next is the attributes, to give you some basic ideas, Strength increase physical attack power and the weight behind the attack. Constitution increase maximum HP and stamina. Vitality increase the recovery rate of stamina and HP. Dexterity increase Attack Speed and Movement Speed. Intelligence increase magical attack power and MP, while Senses increase perception." A certain amount of damage will be added for every 2 points invested on Strength. Adding 1 point on Constitution increased the maximum HP by 50 points. Investing 1 point on Intelligence increased the maximum MP by 20 points and a certain amount of magical damage will be added for every invested points. "That''s the basic attributes, while there''s also a few rare attributes, an example of it is Luck and Charm." Luck, given its name, it can change your fate, like getting rare item drop, or when you''re about to trip and fall on the ground? With Luck, before you could fall, someone will save you. Charm, increase the persuasion and leading ability, also if a not-good looking person has a Charm attribute, it won''t make the person handsome or beautiful, it would only make the person more pleasing in the eyes. "Also we heard some of the earthlings complaining about the summoning of system panel, we did a research and finally came to a decision. After you arrived at your designated location, you don''t need to think or call out the system, by just waving your left-hand slight downward, the system panel will immediately spawn before you. Although it was slightly inconvenient, you could still summon some of your items with your thought. However, you could only set a five items to summon, like a shortcut. If you open your inventory, you can see a star on every one of your items, you just need to click the star and the item will be instantly save and you could summon it without any problem." "Speaking of the item, it seems like your gears are high level items, you won''t be able to equip that since we added a prerequisite level before you could equip the item, while some other items are required a specific class to equip." Minsk spoke as he scrutinized Kim Shin from head to toe. "Next is the class, when you arrived at your designated location, head to the City Hall, you can see there 4 statues. The Warrior Category, which focused on defense, it consists of a three-class; Guardian Warrior, Shield Knight, and Berserker. The Weapon Specialist, which focused on physical damage output; Swordsman, Ranger, and Assassin. The Mages, which focused on magical damage output; Wizard, Elementalist, Summoner, and Cursemancer. Lastly, the Healers, which focus on healing and support; Cleric, Bard, and Shaman." "While that''s the basic classes, Yggdrasil also has rare and hidden classes. Of course, you need to explore it by yourself. Then, after the primary class, there will be the subclass, you could learn three of the various subclasses in Yggdrasil¡­" "That''s all about the class, do you have any question?" Kim Shin silently shook his head in response. "No? Okay. Then, next is we also removed the appraisal function, you couldn''t appraise anyone, and item of someone else anymore..." "What?!" Kim Shin suddenly blurted out when he heard Minsk''s words. ''Why? Why they remove it?'' Kim Shin wondered. He''s utterly confused why they removed the appraisal function. Is it because of him? "It''s our administrator''s mistake to put appraisal function on the system, though we had thought to attach it permanently, however, we found that there are certain individuals used it in a way that we didn''t expect, hence we came into this decision. Nevertheless, you don''t need to worry that much, you could still learn the appraisal skill if you managed to found a skill book. Speaking of that, Yggdrasil also has Appraiser subclass, unfortunately, the appraiser could only appraise an unidentified item and couldn''t see the information of someone''s item. That being said, you could only see the information of the item if it''s in your hand or inventory. Thus, appraiser is one of the rarest subclass." ''Appraiser huh...'' Kim Shin thought as he couldn''t help but think back those appraisers that belittle him and some of his acquaintance. They are all arrogant scumbag. They are all extortionists! "And lastly, before I transfer you to your designated place, if you still have Soul Points please use it now, since you can''t use it on Yggdrasil. Vol is the only currency we have there and nothing else¡­" ''Yeah, I know that! I don''t need you to tell me that!'' He thought in annoyance as he looked at his soul points. Unfortunately, it wasn''t enough to buy any good skill. "I still have some here, but I can''t see where I can use this, can you convert my soul points to Vol?" Kim Shin innocently inquired. "No problem... It will be automatically converted as you arrived on Yggdrasil. So, that''s all, any question?" "No." Kim Shin leisurely replied. "Hmm. Okay. Then," Flick! With the single flicked of his little fingers, a tall and massive white vortex appeared beside the floating imp. "Enter this portal and you will be transported to the location where your family is..." Minsk spoke as he gestured Kim Shin to walk. Leisurely trodding, Kim Shin suddenly frowned and stopped, ''Family? I didn''t know this...'' ''I''m supposed to be transported where my family is? However, since I''m an orphan, was I randomly transported before?'' Kim Shin was utterly baffled and puzzled right now. He could remember that amidst of his transporting, a sudden error occurred in the system, and he was randomly transported at the front of a village. Kim Shin couldn''t help but asked, "What if I don''t have a family? Where am I going to arrive?" "Hmm... You will be transported where your blood relatives are..." Minsk thought for a moment before answering with a smile. ''Blood relatives huh? Don''t tell me I don''t have blood relatives? Is that even possible? Sigh, it no use thinking of this...'' Shooking his head, Kim Shin continued to walk, arriving before the portal, Kim Shin could hear Minsk words. "Farewell, I hope we see each other again next time. Good luck!" ''I hope not!'' He retorted in his mind, as his entire body engulfed by the white light. Fwoosh! Minsk stare at the place where Kim Shin vanished as he muttered and grinned. "He''s truly interesting." ********* As he entered the vortex, Kim Shin''s entire body stuck in the place as he felt that the surrounding was moving so fast. When suddenly an enormous pitch-black horizontally stretched hexagon, with a big error word on it appeared before his eyes. Ding! Ding! Ding! [Error! Error! Error! Couldn''t find the destination¡­ Commencing random teleportation¡­] Series of system notification rang out as the big error blocked his entire vision like a virus. ''It''s happening...'' Crash! Then, his vision turned black as his entire vision crashed like black and white static. ******** After an unknown amount of time, Kim Shin could feel that his vision slowly coming back to him. Opening his eyes, Kim Shin found himself in the middle of nowhere, where he was surrounded by sea of tall trees. ''I really arrived here once again!'' He thought as he looked at his current equipment. He''s wearing a black t-shirt, black pants, and black leather shoes, which doesn''t have additional stats on it. ''It seems like I really need to buy a level 0 items.'' Then, without further ado, Kim Shin waved his left hand and in an instant, a translucent white panel appeared before him, which consisted of a number of tabs. Character''s Tab at the top, followed by Inventory, Friends, Party, Map and Shop at the bottom. Opening the System''s shop, Kim Shin found his Vol in the left bottom of the screen and to his surprise he has more than a million vol. "1,000,632?!" Kim Shin blurted out in shocked as his eyes were about to fall out of his socket. He was utterly dumbfounded, although he heard the series of system notification earlier, he doesn''t have time to check his rewards, except the title he checked, he didn''t manage to see his other rewards. Seeing that he''s actually rich, he didn''t hesitate any more and immediately bought basic items. [Blacksuit Armor] Level: 0 Grade: Common Defense: +2 Durability: 10/10 [Scarlet poor-cloak] Level: 0 Grade: Common Defense: +1 Durability: 10/10 [Worn-out Shoe] Level: 0 Grade: Common Defense: +1 Movement Speed: +1 Durability: 10/10 [Dark Poor Scabbard] Level: 0 Grade: Common Attack Speed: +1 Durability: 10/10 Wearing an entire black suit armor, a scarlet cloak draped over his shoulder, a pitch-black leather scabbard on the left of his waist, dark pants and shoes, Kim Shin''s appearance was like a novice adventurer. Clicking on his inventory tab, Kim Shin immediately found the constellations devourer, then without any hesitation, he clicked the star on it, saving the sword on his shortcut. Next, he waved his left hand, closing the system''s panel, Kim Shin immediately summoned his Constellations Devourer with his thought. Fwoosh! A shining pale-white light appeared on his right hand before turning to a pitch-black long sword. ''Hello partner, this is your shelter for the time being.'' Kim Shin thought as he put his constellations devourer on his scabbard on his left waist. "Now... let''s go!" Whoosh~ Dashing like leopard, Kim Shin ran in a straight direction, as if he was familiar with his location. Apparently, even after a long time had passed, Kim Shin could still remember this place. He ran with a high speed but calm expression, however, if someone looked closer at Kim Shin''s eyes, they could see that his dark-blue eyes are sharply glinting, like a tiger waiting for its prey. After a couple of minute of sprinting, Kim Shin could finally saw a source of light in the distance, slowing his footstep, he then soundlessly peeked his head out of the bushes, and look far ahead. Narrowing his eyes, Kim Shin found a dimly lit village guarded by two male, seems like a human, however, compared to humans, this guard had a colored rune connected on their hair. "Yggdramerean..." Kim Shin mumbled seriously. Compared to other races, Yggdramereans have a long lifespan, with an average of 300 years. Yggdramerean is the real resident of Yggdrasil; their appearance was almost the same with humans, except they have a Rune''s which looks like a part of their hair just with a different colour. They have several shapes and colour depending on the person, and a person can have either 1 or 2 of these. Their runes are something like a "nerve" because it has a lot of roles. It can shine different colors depending on the person''s mood, so it''s like a person showing expression. People are able to control their runes when they get older. Their runes are also a direct antenna into their minds and thoughts which is why they react strongly if someone touches it. Yggdramereans don''t let each other''s Runes touch unless the person is really close to them because it connects their emotion and "current" thoughts. When a Yggdramerean dies their Rune "runs out" meaning it loses its colour and shine. No matter how amazing their rune''s power actually is the price for using it is their own life-force. Looking at the two guards, armed with light armor and a spear, Kim Shin couldn''t help but grit his teeth in anger. He could still remember, how these Yggdramereans, imprisoned, beaten, and left him starving in an old cell with those humans that captured before him. Fortunately, there''s a certain individual gave him a piece of food when he''s on the verge of dying. So, what he''s going to do? Kim Shin, suddenly made a creepy smile while looking at the two Yggdramerean guards as he slowly backed away. Rustle! Rustle! "Hmm?" The Yggdramerean guard on the left post turned his head on the left side when he heard the rustling sound. Rustle! Rustle! The rustling sound continued, forcing the guard to check where the sound coming from. "Hey! Where are you going?" The Yggdramerean guard on the right post called out when he saw the other guard leaving his post. "Just a minute, I''m just going to check something here.." The guard answered as he continued walking towards the rustling sound when he suddenly saw a dark silhouette of a humanoid figure. "Who''s there?" He called out. However, there''s no response at all. Raising his guard, the Yggdramerean also raised his spear forward as he carefully advanced, Tap! Tap! The guard softly walked forward with a silent movement he could muster. Whoosh! A sharp wind passed behind him as he caught a glimpse of a humanoid silhouette on the ground before him, indicating that this person is behind him, "Who''s there?!" He yelped after his immediate response. Executing his well-trained movement. However, he found no one there, not even a single monster or anything. "Am I seeing ghost?!" The guard wondered as sweat slowly forming on his forehead. "Haha. What the heck am I talking about?" He then shook his head in embarrassment. "Unfortunately, you''re not seeing a ghost..." An eerie voice whispered behind him, startling the guard as he was about to look behind. "Who¡ª" The guard''s words were immediately cut as his neck was also cut by pitch-black flashed. Splurt! Blood continues to gush out of the guard''s neck and eventually fell on the ground lifelessly. Ding! [Available for Soul Cleaving!] Those words appeared above the guard''s corpse. Then, without any hesitation, Kim Shin stretched his right arm to the corpse and uttered. "Soul Cleave!" Fwoosh! Dark violet aura appeared on his hand and engulfed the guard''s entire corpse. Then, after a couple of seconds. Ding! [You''ve received 0.1 additional to all stats] ''Well, it''s fine. Now, since I still have time, I will pay you a visit Yggdramereans!'' 93 Creating disturbance Ding! [Available for Soul Cleaving!] Those words appeared above the guard''s corpse. Then, without any hesitation, Kim Shin stretched his right arm to the corpse and uttered. "Soul Cleave!" Fwoosh! Dark violet aura appeared on his hand and engulfed the guard''s entire corpse. Then, a few seconds later. Ding! [You''ve received 0.1 additional to all stats!] ''Well, it''s fine. Now, since I still have time to spare, I will pay you a visit Yggdramereans!'' ... ''Why he''s taking so long? If the captain caught us not doing our duty, we might end up in the cell, like those weak humans...'' The guard on the right post shivered in that thought as he imagined their cruel captain''s face while beating them. "Tsk. What''s up with him!?" He grumbled as he trod towards the direction where the other guard went through. Rustle! Rustle! And when he reached the dense bushes, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind it as he immediately raised forward his spear while frowning. "Darmord?! Is that you?" He called out cautiously, afraid that it might be a monster or bandit. However, he received no response at all. Rustle! Rustle! The rustling on the bushes goes on, made him more unease. ''Damn! What or who could be behind these bushes?!'' Curious about what''s behind it, he raised his guard as he heightened his senses before carefully and slowly advanced forward while making the slight noise he could muster. Rustle! Rustle! Swoosh~ "Who''s there?!" He shouted when he heard a faint movement behind it. Nevertheless, there''s no response once again. Frowning deeply, he cautiously observed every slight movement on the surroundings when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a humanoid silhouette on the ground that hastily passed behind him. "Who?!" He blurted out after a quick spun, executing his well-trained movements. However, there''s no one on it, which caused him to be nervous. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Narrowing his eyes, the guard intensified his awareness, nervous at what might happen. Rustle! Rustle! He heard a rustling sound once again beneath the bushes, frustrating him even more. ''Show yourself!'' Carefully turning back, he could discern that what''s behind the bushes is about to come. ''It''s coming!'' He exclaimed in his mind as he clenched his spear while focusing his eyes on the bush. Rustle! Rustle! Squeak! A soft squeaking sound rang out behind the bushes, followed by a pouncing small pale white creature with two long ears that reached the ground. Squeak! ''Horned rabbit?!'' Phew~ The guard heaved a sighed in relieved when he saw the small creature that had the appearance of a common rabbit. However, this monster had crimson eyes and a single white horn like a unicorn''s horn. "Whew~ It''s just a horned rabbit but.. Where the heck Darmord went to?" He grumbled in annoyance as he watched the horned rabbit pounced away, back to the wild forest. Horned rabbit is a neutral monster, they won''t attack you, unless you attacked them first. When suddenly, deafening zigzag lightning struck in the sky, causing a reverberating sound and bright light that lit up the dark area where the guard''s standing, as he saw the shadow figure stretched on the ground, indicating that this person is currently standing behind him. "Darmord?" He softly called out as he slowly turned around. Yet, once again, he failed to found anything. "Am I seeing ghost?" He wondered as he shook his head in embarrassment to have a silly thought. "Haha, what the heck am I thinking? It''s impossible..." As he laughed in embarrassment, a big hand suddenly grabbed his left shoulder which startled the laughing man in horror. "Who¡ªfuck you! Where have you been?" He bellowed furiously when he discovered who''s the owner of the hand that grabbed his shoulder out of nowhere. "Oh, I''m sorry for surprising you. Hehe." "Sorry your face! Where did you go?!" The furious guard replied in resentment. To be surprised by his colleague who''s younger than him was not a laughable matter, he, who''s a guard for already a number of years. Already honed his senses to a certain degree, which saved his life for a couple of times. However, he failed to perceived his younger colleague''s presence. "About that, I heard a rustling sound earlier behind those bushes, so I came to check who''s making that noise and found a small horned rabbit. Though I tried to capture it, It was too quick for me, Hehehe." Darmord explained as he laughed awkwardly while scratching the back of his head. ''Acting is an arduous job!'' Kim Shin who''s using the face of the Yggdramerean''s guard he killed earlier grumbled in his mind. [Face of Death Lv.1] (Active) (0.1%) (Able to change face and aura into someone that had been soul cleave) Consume: 1 mp per minute or until deactivated Cooldown: 30 minutes "You punk! Go back to your post!" The ashamed guard ordered Kim Shin who''s evidently annoyed at him. "Yes! Yes!" Kim Shin answered as he scampered back to the guard''s post. ''If I don''t need to reserve my strength for later, I''ll immediately cut his head! Tsk!'' ¡­.. 20 minutes later. Kim Shin''s duty finally ended. [You''ve entered Gythona Village!] Although this is just a village, it had a size the same town on the earth, with a population of 5,000 yggdramereans, this village was not short of two-digit guard''s level. However, the village''s wall was smaller and weaker compared to towns and cities in Yggdrasil. Standing on a dark alleyway, Kim Shin silently activated his speed booster. [Speed Acceleration Lv.1] (Active) (0.2%) (Increase speed by 100%) Duration: 5 minutes Consume: 50 energy Cooldown: 15 minutes After that, he immediately stealthily ran towards the center of the village, where the village''s chief manor located. Since, the prison cell is beneath that place. Why he''s doing this? Why he''s being extra careful? The reason is, he''s going to save someone, he''s afraid to cause a commotion boldly. Since he knew that yggdramerean''s are cruel and won''t hesitate to kill their captured humans. Especially, afraid to be ganged up, though he has a legendary skill that could boost his stats greatly, he''s uncertain if he could stand a continuous attack by himself. It''s better to be cautious than to be an idiotic one, who doesn''t fear death. After 5 minutes, Kim Shin arrived at the dimly lit corner where he could saw the chief''s manor, guarded by two; level 10 guards, and another 2 guards with the same level on the manor''s back. [Yggdramerean Guard Lv.10] HP: (1000/1000) MP: --- ''Level 10? Then it''s possible that the village chief is already at level 20 or more...'' Kim Shin estimated base on his experienced. Usually, the guards is ten levels lower compared to their boss. However, there''s also those elite guards that one or two levels under their boss. ''Now, what should I do? Force myself through that gate, or jump over the stone wall?'' He questioned himself as he looked towards the approximately 1.5-meter wall and gate that guarded by two, level 10 guards. After a moment of consideration, Kim Shin eventually made a decision. Then, without a word, he awkwardly ran towards the two guards. Tap! Tap! ''Hmm...'' One of the guards with black hair and diamond runes, frowned as he saw Kim Shin''s silhouette who''s also wearing the guards uniform. "STOP! Where are you trying to go? What do you need here?" "If you don''t have any matter here, please go back to your job!" The two guard voiced out with an arrogant tone of voice. ''What''s the matter with these two guards?'' Huff! Huff! Kim Shin gasped for air as he slowly calmed his ragged breathing. Of course, he begins his new act! "L-Let me enter! I need to report to the chief!" To made his act more believable, Kim Shin stuttered at first. "Tell me what is it and I will deliver it to the chief!" The long black-haired guard demanded. ''It seems like an important message, If I could report this personally, then, I''ll be able to get the favorable impression of the chief...'' The black-haired guard thought as he imagined himself in a higher position than his current position. The other guard with pale green hair and round runes on his bangs, frowned when he understood his fellow''s intention. "That''s right, tell it to us so you won''t need to exhaust yourself." Hearing this, the black-haired guard looked beside him and his eyes locked with his fellow guard before nodding their head in agreement. Of course, Kim Shin witnessed this and he could understand their scheme, as he couldn''t help but smirk at their stupid plan. "The Captain need every guard in the village..." "Why the captain need everyone?!" The pale green-haired guard interrupted Kim Shin''s words. "Beast hordes..." Kim Shin''s simple answer stunned the two guards. "N-No way, it''s not the time yet!" "You''re spouting nonsense!" They strongly denied the truthfulness of Kim Shin''s words. Since, they knew that beast hordes only occur before the end of the year. "Then, don''t blame me if captain cut you two in half!" He stated which silence the two guards, as they uncontrollably shivered in horror. ''Eh? What''s wrong with them?'' Kim Shin confusedly thought. Unbeknownst to him, the captain of the guards is a cruel person and an ugly yggdramerean that could beat even a goblin in ugliness competition. "H-How many monsters this time?" The black-haired guard asked as he got back to his senses. "Approximately 10,000..." "TEN THOUSAND?!" The two guards blurted out at the same time, unable to believe Kim Shin''s answer. Seeing their reaction, Kim Shin urged them, pushing their anxiety on the next level, "Hurry! Or else we''re all going to die!" "Yes! Yes!" They immediately answer as they hastily ran inside the manor. Whoosh~ "Hahaha, idiots!" Kim Shin chuckled as he watched the two guards hurriedly scampered to their chief''s manor. ''Now, now... Let me pay you back my friend.'' .... Tap! Tap! Tap! Hurried footsteps filled the narrowed hallway, followed by a hasty knocking sounds of the door. "Chief! Chief! Sorry to disturb you, but I brought a big matter to report." "Chief?!" The black-haired guard called out once again when he didn''t receive a response. "Shut up! I can hear you!" A raspy voice resounded from the room which scared the two guards. Click! The doorknob clicked, indicating that the person inside the room was about to open the door. This simple sound forced the two guards to took a single step backward as they faintly trembled. Iing~ A 2 meter-tall man in a pale-green hooded robe appeared out of the dark room and stared his emerald eyes like a cat toward the two shivering guards. "State your business, if that''s a trifling matter, I will cut you two in half!" The two guards couldn''t answer immediately but began to pushed each other who''s going to report. "Continue doing that, then, you two will only have a few moments to live." Their chief''s raspy and threathing voice stunned the two guards, as they immediately kneeled down at the same time. "I''m sorry! I''m sorry! Forgive us." "Please have mercy, chief!" "State your business!" At the loud voice of the village chief, the black-haired man hurriedly answered, afraid to incite the anger of their chief. "Captain Khrusz was asking for every guard in the village to block the incoming beast hordes!" "Beast hordes at this time?" The village chief narrowed his eyes, doubtful at the guard''s words. "Yes!" The guard nodded in response "Are you certain about that?!" "Yes, sir!" The guard answered without thinking. All he wanted to do is flee away from their chief''s presence. "How many beasts is coming?" The village chief asked calmly. He''s not afraid of what''s coming. "A-Approximately... T-Ten thousand, sir..." "WHAT?!" "If I found you lying to me, I promise to make you feel more than death!" "N-No sir. I won''t dare." The guard hurriedly denied. "Just make sure that you''re not messing with me." The village''s chief stated as he glared at the two guards before continuing, "What are you waiting for? Gather all the guards. Hurry!" "Yes, sir!" "Roger!" The two guards loudly answered as they crawled outside. ¡­.. Tap! Tap! Tap! "Hurry! If you all don''t want to be whipped, move your asses!" A roaring order could be heard around the village and the manor, which clearly heard by Kim Shin whose couldn''t help but rose the corner of his lips and form a smile. 95 Escape "FOOL!" Zaharias commented loudly as he forcefully stretched his dark, thick whip, causing a faint cracking sound. Seeing this, Kim Shin leisurely unsheathed his constellations devourer sword, before he positioned it over his right shoulder, with a posture of about to thrust. ''It''s time for revenge!'' ..... ''No way! He couldn''t stand a chance at that demon''s prowess!'' The man who''s behind Zaharias worriedly thought, he doesn''t believe that Kim Shin could win this fight. As the silence filled the surroundings, Kim Shin and Zaharias stared at each other without moving an inch, as if waiting for something. However, Zaharias couldn''t take it anymore, he believed that Kim Shin won''t be able to endure his power. Breaking the silence, Zaharias, raised his whip before he forcefully lashed his whip towards Kim Shin''s face who''s 5-meters away from him, causing a whooshing sound as it split the air. Whoosh! Seeing the incoming attack, Kim Shin quickly ducked his head and immediately dashed forward, smoothly dodging Zaharias''s first assault that caused a loud breaking sound in the air, failing to hit the target. ''I need to close the distance, or else I won''t be able to deal damage!'' He thought, knowing that this is the basic action when battling a person using a long-range damager. Sprinting forward, Kim Shin felt that heaviness of his current stats, he got to used at the high stats and speed movements. Despite that restraint on his body, it didn''t stop him from doing his goal. Reaching the 3-meters distance, Zaharias''s whip came rushing towards him once again. Then, without any hesitation, he swung his sword to the left, hoping to push Zaharias''s attack. However, as his sword and Zaharias''s whip collide, he was forced to take a few steps backward, while sparks scattered everywhere. You''ve received +5 energy! "HAHA. Is that all you''ve got?!" Zaharias''s raucous voice suddenly rang around as he questioned Kim Shin arrogantly. ''I never thought he had this strength despite his weak appearance.'' Kim Shin frowned in that thought as he calmed his trembling right arm. ''At last, he''s going to be one of us...'' The man who''s behind Zaharias thought in disappointment. Whoosh! Zaharias didn''t gave Kim Shin any time to breathe as he lashed his whip once again. With a solemn look, Kim Shin reflexively jumped backward, easily dodging the whip as it strongly landed on the ground, causing a loud sound, followed by web-like cracked on the floor. "Hmph!" Snorting, displeased at Kim Shin''s slippery, Zaharias hurriedly pulled his whip before lashing it down to Kim Shin once more. Whoosh! As the whip flew with much faster speed compared earlier, Kim Shin couldn''t dodge it, forcing him to take a defend from the swift attack. Clang! Boom! Sparks scattered everywhere as Kim Shin once again was pushed few feet backward. ''Am I chewing more than I can? No, I don''t believe that!'' Kim Shin couldn''t help but think about it. However, he hurriedly erased that thought as he slightly bent his knees, before sprinting forward. Whoosh! Gesturing his left hand like a gun, Kim Shin then uttered. "Air Bullet!" Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The air suddenly converged on his left-hand index finger, before it began to release a swift wind bullet thrice in succession towards the grinning Zaharias. ''Laughable! Hmph!'' Zaharias snort inwardly as he hurriedly pulled his whip. Boom! Boom! Boom! A loud explosion reverberated, causing a cloud of smokes, as it instantly engulfed Zaharias entire body. You''ve received +5 energy! Hearing the loud explosion, the other captured humans raised their heads in confusion as they didn''t know what''s happening. And to their surprise, Zaharias, the demon who they wished to die a horrible death was actually on the defensive situation. ''What''s happening?!'' Confusion filled their minds, as hope came back in their spiritless eyes. However, contrary to their hopeful expectation, the man behind Zaharias, clearly witnessed everything. "He''s not dead yet!" He indicated with all the strength left in him. "What?!" One of the hopeful prisoners blurted out in shock. Kim Shin, on the other hand, began to bolt forward, he knew that it wasn''t enough to kill Zaharias with a simple magic attack. "HAHA. Of course, I won''t be the warden of this prison cell, if I''m a pushover." An unpleasant voice resounded as the cloud of smoke dissipated into thin air, revealing the unscratched Zaharias with a transparent apple-green barrier around him. ''Magic Shield?'' Kim Shin thought as he saw the grinning Zaharias inside the transparent barrier. However, despite the situation, he kept running forward. "So what if you have a magic shield, stand this attack if you can!" Kim Shin declared in a loud voice, as he suddenly pushed his feet forcefully on the ground, pouncing toward Zaharias, and with a short distance, he raised his constellations devourer over his head as he swung down his sword from top-right to bottom-left while shouting, "Black Crescent Slash!!!" Fwoosh! 2-meter tall pitch-black projectile appeared after Kim Shin swung his sword that swiftly flew towards Zaharias, causing an ear-splitting sound as it cut through the air. BOOM! Fwoosh! "N-No, how can a filthy human like you have a powerful skill like that?!" Zaharias stammered in disbelief as he watched the black projectile slammed on his magic shield. Frowning his eyebrows, Zaharias watched in anxiousness, afraid at the power of Kim Shin''s skill. However, it didn''t take that long before his expression eased as he began to laughed in ecstasy. "HAHA. You''ve scared me there for a moment. Human was still a human, weaklings!" Zaharias sighed before ridiculing the silent Kim Shin as he continued laughing like crazy. Crack! A faint cracking sound abruptly stopped Zaharias from laughing, ''What is that?'' Crack~ Crack~ A sound same like cracking mirror could be heard indicating that he hasn''t heard it wrong, following the source of the sound, Zaharias found a few centimeter cracks where the black crescent projectile continued slamming on his magic shield. "I-It can''t be real..." Zaharias uttered with a wide-eyed expression. Gaping in disbelieve. Crack~ Crack~ The cracking on the magic shield continues, forcing Zaharias to subconsciously backed up. "N-No..." BOOOM! It didn''t take that long as the magic shield protecting Zaharias broke into number of pieces as the pitch-black projectile eventually vanished into thin air, followed by a loud explosion, causing a strong gale that filled the room, forcing everyone to close their eyes as they defend their arms before themselves, except to Kim Shin who immediately took the opportunity to ran toward the dumbfounded Zaharias. Swoosh! With a swift and focused movement, Kim Shin instantly arrived before Zaharias as he whispered at the old man''s ears before thrusting his sword to Zaharias''s heart. "This is for giving me a horrible experience! Puchi! You''ve received +20 energy! You''ve dealt 800 damage! (Critical Hit!) Kim Shin''s luck was shining as he didn''t expect to triggered the small chance of critical damage in his constellations devourer sword. Next, he pushed his sword deeper dealting another damage. You''ve received +20 energy! You''ve dealt 800 damage! (Critical Hit!) "Urk!" Zaharias blurted out as fresh blood gushed out of his mouth. Silence filled the entire room, as they couldn''t believe what they witnessed. Zaharias, the demon who tormented them for a whole week was impaled and about to die. And what does it mean? It means they could finally have their freedom back! For god''s sake, when they are on the verge of dying, but a powerful young man suddenly came and saved them, how could be a coincidence that great? It''s a damn miracle! "T-This can''t be real..." Zaharias spoke ruggedly as he fell lifelessly on the ground after Kim Shin pulled out his constellations devourer. Looking at the Zaharias''s corpse, Kim Shin suddenly remembered that the Health Points bar on his vision was just a reference, if the person was pierced by a sword to his heart, that person still going to die. Kim Shin then landed his gaze on the middle-aged man who''s still managed to worry about him. "Thankfully, you''re still alive..." He muttered under his breath as he slowly bent his right knee on the ground. "Is he truly dead?" The middle-aged man''s haggard face shown a disbelief expression when he asked Kim Shin. "Mm." Kim Shin nodded his head in response as he raised his sword over his head, surprising the man as it couldn''t helped to closed his eyes in fear. ''H-He''s not here to save us?'' Swoosh! Clank! Contrary to his thought, the man didn''t felt any pain, but heard something broken. Opening his eyes, he found that the young man was actually removing the shackles on his arms and feet. "Are you okay, Uncle?" Kim Shin gently questioned the puzzled man before him. This man was none other than the person who he owed his life, the person who gave him a food to eat, the person who saved him when they are escaping. Jonathan Swizchneger! Kim Shin could still recall how Jonathan treat him like his own son, how Jonathan gave him a home to sleep. However, Jonathan eventually died after being forced to work nonstop until he died. The real reason about that was, Gythona village was attacked by high-level human guild before, resulting in Kim Shin and other human beings that captured by Yggdramereans to have their freedom back once again, that''s what they thought. However, contrary to their expectations, those high-level humans who saved them, forced them to work for their guild, a payment for saving their lives. "A-Ah, yes. Thank you." Jonathan unconsciously answered, still couldn''t able to believe in the current situation. "Here, drink this uncle." Kim Shin handed an intermediate health potion to Jonathan. Seeing the glass bottle with red liquid inside it, on Kim Shin''s right hand, Jonathan widened his eyes in surprise. "H-Health Potion? N-No, I couldn''t take that." "Don''t worry, Uncle. Drink this and help them to remove their shackles, were not safe yet. We need to escape before they could found us." Kim Shin seriously spoke, convincing Jonathan to take the health potion.

At the Gythona Village''s gate, hundreds of leather armored guard with a spear on their right hands, could be seen properly standing before the gate with serious expression on their face, they are going to face an early beast hordes this year. On the village''s wall, a 2-meter tall dark-brown man with a long face and long nose, fully armed by a green full plate armor with azure cape draped over his shoulder, could be seen standing atop of the wall, looking at the distance. It''s the guard''s captain Khrusz! With a solemn look, Khrusz couldn''t stop himself from asking the soldier behind him, "Who said that I asked for everyone''s presence here?" "Y-You, sir!" The soldier stammered, unsure at his answer. "I see..." Khrusz faintly nodded his head as if he understood the soldier''s answer. Hearing the words of his superior, the soldier was about to heaved a sighed of relief. However, before he could do it, a painful and heavy thing slammed on his head, causing him to fell face on the ground. BANG! "What the fuck are y''all doing? Why aren''t you doing your job properly?!" Khrusz suddenly bellowed furiously after punching the poor soldier''s head. He couldn''t believed that he''s the captain of these idiots soldiers, to believed to someone without appropriate investigation. "Did you hear anything from me? Did I ever asked you to call all the village''s guard huh?!" "N-No, sir. Forgive me!" The soldier hurriedly apologized, afraid to incite the anger of his superior even more. "You fools! Go and find the person who made this mess. I''ll give all a minute, and if you don''t find that rat? then, I will make sure that y''all will experience horrible training." Khrusz''s menacing voice sends a chilling feeling on the soldier''s back as it shivered in horror. "Now, Go!" "Sir, yes sir!" .... ... ''Where is the key? We''re running out of time!'' Kim Shin thought as he inspects Zaharias''s corpse. Kim Shin decided to escape for now. After fighting Zaharias, he comprehend that fighting a couple of levels higher than him was a risky move. He was overconfident on his skills and experience in fighting. However, his experience will be useless against a higher stats opponent. Especially now that he''s not alone, he won''t be able to act reckless. He need to move accordingly, and carefully or else, they might die before they could leave the village ''I hope everything goes according to my plan.'' "Is this the key?" Kim Shin wondered when he saw the rusty key on Zaharias''s neck. "Shin, did you found the key?" Jonathan asked Kim Shin after helping to remove the shackles on every prisoners. "Mm." Kim Shin nodded his head in response. "That''s good! We are good to go." "Let''s go." .... ¡­. "Ha... I never expect to see the outside world once again." One of the younger men spoke in a soft voice as he couldn''t stop himself from sobbing. Sob! Sob! "Enough of that, we''re not safe yet!" Kim Shin interrupted the crying man. He then turned to face Jonathan who''s in a better condition. "Uncle, do you still remember the plan?" Wearing a leather armor, black pants, added with unscratched square face, Jonathan was simply a middle-aged man with a fatherly appearance. "Yes, you don''t need to worry about us. Worry about yourself, don''t be reckless." Nodding his head, Kim Shin then spoke, "Yes, I won''t. But... Please be careful on the way." "Mm." "Okay, See you later!" Kim Shin waved his hand in goodbye as he ran towards the village gate. However, before he could ran far away, Kim Shin heard different voices, thanking and wishing him luck. "Thank you so much for saving us!" "Please be careful!" "We will wait for you, Good luck!" Despite hearing their voices, Kim Shin continued moving forward. ''Please be safe!'' ''Now, all I need to do is, distracting the guards until Uncle Jonathan and others left the village!'' 97 Villages Chief "STOP HIM!!!" ''In your dreams!'' Kim Shin exclaimed in his mind as he hurriedly ran. However, before he could run far, a silhouette of a man suddenly jumped over him and blocked his path. "You''re not going anywhere." The man arrogantly stated as he glared at Kim Shin. Seeing the familiar appearance of the man, the village''s guards couldn''t refrain themselves from exclaiming. "Captain!!!" "WOOO! Captain''s finally here!" "Captain! Captain! Captain!" "Kill that human!" ''Hmm, he seems pretty famous even with his undescribable appearance...'' Kim Shin smiled with that thought when he heard the voices of the village''s guards as he appraised the man before him. Pair with big apple-green eyes and brushed-up long aquamarine hair with spear-like runes connected on his sideburns. Khrusz could be described as a cool man. Unfortunately, he has a big and long nose like a goblin added with thick lips and square chin. To be more specific, Khrusz''s appearance was like a squared-face goblin with a height of 6ft tall and dark-brown skin. Khrusz was heavily clad by white-silver full plate armor, emphasizing his dark color, with an azure cape over his shoulder, and armed with a brass-colored spear, with a green cloth coiled before the spear''s blue-green blade. ''That spear''s blade seems like made of rare material.'' Kim Shin''s eyes instantly lit up once he saw Khrusz''s spear. On the other hand, when Khrusz heard the voices of his men couldn''t stop his eyebrows to twitch in annoyance. "SHUT UP! You dare to open all your mouth when y''all couldn''t kill a single human?!" He bellowed without ounce of mercy. As a matter of fact, he''s watching the fight from the village''s wall, and he ludicrously couldn''t believe what he witnessed. His men couldn''t graze a weakling human that armed with trash equipments. "C-Cap..." They couldn''t utter a single word once they heard their captain''s furious voice. They knew that they become a laughingstock in their captain''s eyes. Hence, they couldn''t do anything but lowered their heads, ashamed at their incapability. "You, human, you''re not going anywhere!" After scolding his men, Khrusz turned his head and shouted at Kim Shin who''s about sneak away. "Well, if you insist." Kim Shin simply answered as he shrugged his shoulder. In reality, Kim Shin really wanted to escape right away. However, he immediately erased that decision after he saw Khrusz''s spear. Although his not spear wielder, he knew someone that would certainly love it. So, with that in mind, he decided to get that spear before leaving. It''s a waste if a good weapon was on a trash person''s hands. "You humans are just new here, but you already dared to cause a ruckus in our village?" Khrusz spoke to Kim Shin as if the humans are in fault here. Hearing this, Kim Shin scoffed at Khrusz''s words as he replied. "Funny!" Narrowing his eyes at Kim Shin''s answer, Khrusz then asked. "What''s funny?!" "HAHA. Nothing. It''s just amusing that you all could wore an expression as if you''re all an innocent." "What do you mean about that?" Khrusz''s tone of voice became cold as his expression darkened. ''It seems like this man know something...'' He thought as he clenched his spear with his hands. Preparing himself from the incoming battle. "Haha. I think you already understood what I mean about that." Kim Shin chuckled as he softly answered and gripped the hilt of his sword. "Wha¡ª the prisoners!" Khrusz who''s about question Kim Shin exclaimed in realization as his expression became even more darker. "You, what did you do?" "No, it''s impossible. He wouldn''t able to found that place..." He immediately shook his head, as he muttered under his breath, denying the fact that Kim Shin indeed discovered the prison cell. He then stared at the human before him as he saw Kim Shin smiling weirdly to him. "I don''t care. All I need to do is to kill you. So, I can lessen the chief''s anger!" Khrusz bellowed as he looked at Kim Shin with killing intent. "Hmph." As he felt Khrusz''s killing intent, Kim Shin simply snorted as he spoke. "So, you''ve decided to be my enemy huh?!" "I''m already your opponent the time you made a mess in my village!" Khrusz replied as he forward his left foot, slightly bent his knees, pulling his spear by his right hand as he faintly support the blade of his spear by his left hand. Kim Shin, on the other hand, simply positioned his right arm and foot to the front as he held his constellations devourer before him. Silence filled the surroundings, even the guards who already surround Kim Shin and Khrusz were quiet as they hold their breaths. Seemingly afraid to cause a distraction. The two stared at each other without moving an inch. Then, suddenly, a bead of sweat from one of the watching guards fell on the ground. Drip! And in just an instant, Kim Shin and Khrusz quickly pushed their feet and run at full speed towards each other. Crack! Whoosh! A web-like cracked appeared on the ground around Khrusz feet with his weight. However, despite his weight, he''s moving with incredible speed. ''What a surprise.'' Kim Shin commented in his mind, as he slightly lowered his upper torso, increasing his speed. Whoosh! Khrusz, who''s running with full speed, suddenly uttered something, causing his speed increased by another level seemingly dragged by his spear. "Swift Stab!" Fwoosh! Khrusz''s speed split the air as his spear shone with blue light. "DIE!!!" ''So, fast!'' Kim Shin exclaimed in his mind as he unhesitatingly stopped and mightily pushed his foot on the ground, forcing him to jumped high in the air as a web-like cracked footprint appeared on the floor. Swoosh~ Boom! A loud explosion reverberated after Khrusz passed over Kim Shin''s previous location, followed by a strong gust of wind. "Air bullet!" "Tsk!" Khrusz clicked his tongue in frustration as he looked upward, just to be surprised that a swift air bullets are about to hit him. ''Damn!'' He cussed in his mind as he hurriedly moved his spear in a circular motion, causing a strong wind around him. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Three continuous ear-splitting explosions filled the surroundings as Khrusz instantly engulfed by a huge cloud of dust. "Captain!" The guards who''re watching the battle called out in worry. Although they believed at the prowess of their captain, they still couldn''t stop themselves from worrying, since their captain''s opponent was a formidable human. You''ve dealt 10 damage!

Kim Shin''s who''s slowly falling in the air frowned at the system''s log. ''His defense is great!'' He commented bitterly, realizing that his too weak to inflict large damage to a warrior type, especially a high-level person. Shiing~ In the middle of the cloud of dust, a powerful azure light suddenly appeared, which surprised everyone except Kim Shin, followed by a loud voice of Khrusz as he flew upward, instantly appearing before Kim Shin with his spear seemingly want to pierce Kim Shin badly. "Sparrow Thrust!" "Captain!" The guards exclaimed in happiness as the worry they felt immediately vanished. As they cheered their captain. "Go, captain. Kill him" "Kill!" ''Oh, shit!'' Kim Shin cursed inwardly as he caught surprised by Khrusz''s skill. Without thinking twice, he hurriedly activated his skill, "Over Limit!" 100 energy consumed! BOOM! Clang! A powerful aura exploded out of Kim Shin''s body as he blocked Khrusz''s attack before the last moment. "N-No way!" With widened eyes, Khrusz uttered in disbelief. He was utterly shocked! ''How could he have this kind of power?'' He thought with a complex expression. "Yes, way!" Kim Shin retorted as he raised his sword over his head and about to strike Khrusz''s upper torso. However, before his sword could found his way on Khrusz''s body, he heard a faint archaic voice amidst of the silent crowd. "Bramble Shield!" BOOM! You''ve dealt 1000 damage! You''ve obtained +10 energy! A deafening explosion reverberated as Kim Shin''s attack landed on the thorns in a figure of a 2-meters tall shield. However, the thorny shield didn''t last that long and broke in half as Khrusz rocketed deep down to the ground. Bam! "Urgh!" Khrusz, who''s in the middle of wide crater, whined in pain as he coughed a mouthful of blood because of the impact. Tap! Smoothly landing on the ground, Kim Shin stared at the Khrusz who''s lying on the ground with a long crack on his plate armor. However, despite that damage on Khrusz''s armor, he knew that he didn''t manage to inflict large damage, because of the sudden appearance of the thorny shield. ''Who?'' Kim Shin thought as he raised his head and looked around him. "I know you''re there. Show yourself!" He loudly shouted that confused the still shocked and gaping guards. "HEHEHE." A creepy and weird laughed echoed around as the guards who''re closer at the sound hurriedly turned their head, and to their shock, they saw a tall man in a hooded long green robe. "C-Chief?!" "Sorry, I don''t have any intention to interrupt your battle earlier. But, I couldn''t just stand and watch my men to die!" 98 One Punch ''Who?'' Kim Shin thought as he raised his head and looked around him. "I know you''re there. Show yourself!" He loudly shouted that confused the still shocked and gaping guards. "HEHEHE." A creepy and weird laughed echoed around as the guards who are closer at the sound hurriedly turned their head, and to their shock, they saw a tall man in an emerald long robe which clearly familiar to all of them. "C-Chief?!" "Sorry, I don''t have any intention to interrupt your battle earlier. But, I couldn''t just stand and watch my men to die!" Upon seeing him, the guards immediately and respectfully backed up to give way for their chief. Staring at the man who''s slowly walking towards him at the opposite side of the huge crater, Kim Shin appraised the man''s equipments in a calm expression. ''Shaman?!'' He wondered when his gaze landed on the right man''s hand. It''s holding a wooden staff with a monster''s skull, with a high probability of a goat-like monster, because of the long twisted horns. ''That''s probably a rare item too.'' He thought once he saw the man''s robe, seemingly made from an emerald and gold silk. "Healing Totem!" The man pointed his staff to Khrusz. As he then chanted beneath his hood and instantly a smiling face totem appeared beside Khrusz. [Healing Totem] Restriction: Shaman(Level 20) (Summon Healing Totem to battle lasting for 60 seconds. Heals surrounding allies every 3 seconds with a 20% to remove 1 debuff from an ally) It didn''t take long as Khrusz''s aching body began to heal at a visible rate. After that, the man turned his attention to Kim Shin once again. "You''re quite strong despite being a human and a young man at that huh?!" Upon hearing this, Kim Shin faintly narrowed his eyes before he smirked. "Thank you for your compliment. But, I don''t have any time to spare. See yah!" Leaving those words, Kim Shin immediately turned around seemingly decided to leave. However, he was abruptly stopped when the man began to talk. "Do you think you can leave just like that? After you caused a huge mess in my own village?" As he slightly turn his head, Kim Shin then replied. "So, what do you want then?" "Simple..." The village''s chief suddenly paused before he continued. "I want you to... die!" He end that with a loud voice as he pointed his staff to Kim Shin before uttering. "Wrath Totem!"

An angry totem instantly appeared out of nowhere beside Kim Shin, as its eyes turned red seemingly furious, and about to unleash waves of fire. "Burn him down!" The village''s chief ordered deafeningly and as if the totem heard his voice, it immediately summons a wave of fire with length of 3-meters, and quickly rushed toward Kim Shin. "Heh!" Kim Shin could still smirk in the face of an incoming wave of fire. ''He''s ruthless!'' He thought when he saw the incoming wave of fire and worshiping eyes of the village''s guards around him. ''Don''t blame with your deaths. It''s your chief''s ruthlessness!'' He thought in his mind before he took a single step as he instantly vanished from his position. "Where is he?" One of the guards asked in confusion as he looked around, trying to find Kim Shin who suddenly vanished without a word. However, different from him, the other guards began to grow anxious when they discovered that the wave of fire is not stopping but instead increased its speed toward them. "R-Run!" Who knows who shouted that but with that single word, every guard on the field who''re about to burn to death hurriedly scattered and ran for their dearest lives. "S-Save me!" "H-Help me, Chief!" ''Tsk. Useless!'' The village''s chief spat in his mind when he saw and heard the shouts of his dimwit guards. ''How can they be so idiot? They all knew what my skill could do but they didn''t start to escape immediately? It''s all their fault!'' He thought as he carefully observed his surroundings. ''Where that human go?'' "A-arghhhhhhhhhhh!" "I-I''m on fire! Help me!" The agonizing cries of the guards filled the surroundings which eventually heard by their captain. ''What''s happening?'' Khrusz forcefully struggled to stand up despite his confusion. Then, his eyes widened in shock when his gaze landed on his men that was burning alive. "H-How could this happen?!" He was dumbfounded at the situation of his men. He couldn''t understand what''s happening until his vision caught the sight of the wrath totem. ''Wrath Totem!'' Upon understanding the reason, he immediately looked around him, and his gaze finally landed on the village''s chief who''s also acting weird like him as if he''s looking for someone. "Chief¡ª" Khrusz who''s about to call his chief suddenly stop when he discovered the appearance of Kim Shin who emerged out of thin air behind his chief. "Chief, behind you!" Upon hearing this, the chief hurriedly turned around, just to be surprised by the big black scaly fist of Kim Shin that''s only a few centimeters away from his face. BAM! A powerful explosion reverberated, followed by a strong gust of wind as blood splattered everywhere when the village''s chief head burst to pieces like a watermelon bombed with a grenade. Thud! Village''s chief headless corpse and skull''s staff fell on the ground, followed by the silence of the crowd. Since the fire immediately died down when the chief died. "C-Chief..." "T-This is impossible..." "A-Am I hallucinating or w-what?" "CHIEF!!!" Khrusz''s loud voice beat every confused and dumbfounded voice as he rushed toward Kim Shin. "Damn! I forgot to hold back..." Kim Shin cursed softly as he wiped away the blood on his clothes. Even though he said that, he was utterly flabbergasted and happy at the same time. He just now fathom why his skill graded as a Legendary Skill. It''s freaking overpowered! Whoosh! "Swift Stab!" Khrusz immediately thrust his spear that shining with azure light to Kim Shin. "DIE!!!" Clang! Crack~ A loud sound of a metal that collided echoed around as Kim Shin simply punched spear which widened Khrusz''s eyes in stupefaction. Followed by a cracking sound as the spear began to broke in half. "How¡ª" Khrusz couldn''t finish his question when Kim Shin swiftly cut his head off his body. Slash!

Khrusz immediately thrust his spear that shining with azure light to Kim Shin. "DIE!!!" Clang!

It was followed by a cracking sound as the spear began to break in half. "How¡ª" Khrusz couldn''t finish his word when Kim Shin swiftly cut his head off his body. Slash! Kim Shin triggered the 3% chance to cause 100% damage by his Constellations Devourer. ''What the fuc¡ª!'' Kim Shin couldn''t stop himself from cursing, as he watched the broken spear fell onto the ground in a slow-motion with slacked-jaw and wide-eyed expression. Clang! "No¡­" Kim Shin hurriedly crouched down and picked up the broken spear with dumbfounded expression. He never expected to break it with his fist. "Ah, it''s no use now¡­" Kim Shin heaved a sighed in disappointment, utterly disappointed for breaking the spear. He then raised his head and looked towards the gaping guards, causing them to take a step backward in fright. "W-We''re dead¡­" "W-What should we do now?" "I-I don''t care anymore. We don''t have any future here!" After those words, the guard immediately scampered as if he''s fleeing away from the death door. And it didn''t take long before the other guards follow the man''s lead as they ran into different directions, as long as far away from Kim Shin. Kim Shin, on the other hand, couldn''t care about them anymore, as he was staring at the spear with gloom expression. Phew! Releasing a big sigh, he then turned his head downward and looked at the gory condition of the village''s chief corpse as his eyes landed on the skull staff. ''The Village''s Chief''s Staff¡­'' Sheathing his sword back to its scabbard, he then trod toward it before he picked up the staff. (!) Ping! A red exclamation mark suddenly appeared before the skull staff that startled him. ''Hmm¡­'' Click! Although, he''s confused about it, Kim Shin didn''t hesitate to press the mark. Then, a rectangular white panel appeared before him. [Savage Wolf''s Skull] Grade: Rare Type: Staff Requirements: Level 10 (Mages), Intelligence 30 ( Additional Magic Damage + 30 Additional + 6 Intelligence Additional + 1% Cast Time Speed Increase ) Additional Skill: [Wind Bite] (Active) (Summon a wind with the appearance of beast jaw; Additional Magic Damage +9%) Range: 6 ft Cooldown: 6 seconds ''Not bad¡­'' Kim Shin commented in his mind as he saw the staff''s information. He then placed the staff in his inventory which could only accommodate 70 items. ''What''s next then?'' He questioned himself as he discovered that there''s no guard left except the corpses on the ground that are lying on their own blood. "I should follow Uncle Jonathan and the others. But, before that¡­" Kim Shin muttered under his breath as he suddenly stopped when his gaze landed on Khrusz''s and village''s chief corpse. [Available for Soul Cleaving!] Kim Shin hasn''t soul cleaved for awhile after the first Yggdramerean he killed. Now, he was torn between, cleave Khrusz or the village''s chief. After without so much deliberation, Kim Shin then reached his right arm towards the village''s chief corpse. ''Soul Cleave!'' Fwoosh! A dark violet light aura instantly engulfed the village''s chief corpse and it didn''t take long as the circle of lights flashed through his temple, and it was followed by system''s notification. [You''ve learned fragmented memories of your target!] [You''ve obtained 0.1 additional to all stats!] Even after the notifications, Kim Shin''s eyes were still wide in confusion and astonishment. This is the first time that he managed to learn a memories of the person he soul cleaved. Although it was just in an instant, he could felt as if he knew it for already a long time. "So they were kicked out from the Yggdramereans City¡­" Kim Shin mumbled as he narrowed his eyes in bafflement. Since it was just a fragment, he didn''t know the reason why they had been kicked. However, he finally learned the reason why there is Yggdramereans village living in humans'' continent. To be specific, the inhabitants of 7 continents of the earth were transported to 7 enormous islands. And it became a single continent, The Humans Continent. The Humans Continent was located in the southeast of Yggdrasil. While the Yggdramereans continent was in the west side of the Yggdrasil with a triple size of human''s continent. And there''s still a number of continent that Kim Shin didn''t learn in his years in Yggdrasil. However, there''s a big question in his mind right now. How could they managed to reached this place? The humans and yggdramereans continent is ten miles apart. And not just that, humans couldn''t left the continent, since it was barricade by world''s dimension barrier. It was presumed granted by the Yggdrasil''s God himself who''s benevolently keep safe the humans for 5 years. ''It''s no use for now¡­ I should prepare and worry myself in my goal.'' Kim Shin shook his head left and right as his eyes shone with determination. ''I still have a few minutes before the Over Limit end¡­'' Thus, without wasting more time, Kim Shin immediately ran to the north, towards Uncle Jonathan and others direction. ..... ¡­ Huff! Huff! Huff! "Uncle Jonathan¡­ Do you think he will be fine?" A gasping youth asked Jonathan who''s frowning while cautiously observing his surroundings. Upon hearing this, Uncle Jonathan couldn''t help but looked behind him, where the village located and loud explosions occasionally occurred. "Yeah, he will be fine. Don''t worry. Now, hurry! We need to reach the town before midnight, or else, we will become the appetizer of the roaming beasts." Uncle Jonathan''s expression turned solemn as he looked ahead of him in the dark forest. Fortunately, they have three torches given by Kim Shin. However, because of that, they will be easily sense by the roaming monsters. Rustle! Rustle! Amidst of their careful moving, a sudden movements could be heard ahead of them in the dark path of the forest, forcing them to stopped as they were alarmed by it. "W-What is that?" One of the injured men whispered as he shivered in fright. He was traumatized by the beating of Zaharias. "Shh!" Despite his weak voice, the other man in much better condition beside him hurriedly hushed him. Rustle! Rustle! The movements continued as they grew anxious when they felt it''s getting closer. Uncle Jonathan who''s in the frontline, unhurriedly summoned out his weapon. Shua! A heavy two-handed greataxe appeared on his hands and he clenched it with determination. He''s the only one here, who''s in the best condition and high level than everyone with him. Their lives were in his hand. He doesn''t want to waste Kim Shin''s effort from saving them. Tremble! Tremble! The ground faintly shook, causing some of the weak-willed men shivered as they took backed up in fright. Beads of cold sweat appeared on everyone''s forehead. When, suddenly, a pair of crimson eyes appeared in the dark that startled some of them. "Fuck! We''re dead!" "Shut up!" "What¡ª" Uncle Jonathan wore a complex expression when he heard the angry voices behind him. He couldn''t berated them since he''s focused on the monster before him. "If it comes to worst, I will fed you all to this monster¡­" Uncle Jonathan unconsciously spoke it out loud, which clearly heard by the arguing men, forcing them to shut their mouth in fear. Grrrr¡­ A faint growl resounds as the huge and furry head of the monster came out of the dark area. "Awoooooooooo!" The monster suddenly released a piercing howl which reverberated tens of kilometers away, causing Uncle Jonathan party to groaned in pain as they covered their bleeding ears with their hands. "Ugh!" "I-It hurts!" Despite his bleeding and buzzing ears, a youth endured the pain to take a look at the monster''s appearance. It has the appearance of 4-meters tall and 7-meters length gray wolf. However, different compared to a normal wolf, this monster have a huge twisted goat horns. Slowly looking above the monster''s head, the youth eyes widened in shock when he saw the monster''s name and information. [Savage Wolf Lv. 12] (Normal Boss) HP: 12, 000 "B-Boss¡­ Monster?!" He blurted out in disbelief. ''And now, I''m pretty sure we''re dead¡­'' ...¡­. Awoooooo! Kim Shin, whose a few kilometers away from Uncle Jonathan''s group suddenly frowned when he heard the deafening howl of the savage wolf. ''Uncle Jonathan!'' Kim Shin exclaimed in his mind as he immediately activated his accelerator and hurriedly bolted towards the sound. Whoosh! ¡­.. "Urgh!" Huff! Huff! Uncle Jonathan groaned in pain as he gasped for air after he parried the claw attack of the savage wolf. ''We''re going to die here if I don''t think a plan to survive this¡­'' He helplessly thought as he brushed off the blood dripping out of the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, the savage wolf seems like to play with them first instead of killing them instantly. If not? Then, it won''t be difficult for the monster to kill them quickly. "W-What should we do now?" Upon hearing this, Uncle Jonathan slightly turned his head to catch the sight of the expressions of the men behind him. He then discovered that every one of them was wearing a despair and solemn expression. ''It seems that''s the only choice we have to survive¡­'' He thought in frustration and discontent. He doesn''t want to this. However, if he didn''t do this, they will all die. Amidst of the despair expressions of the men, they suddenly heard Jonathan''s loud voice. "You guys! Move your asses! Leave me now if you all wanted to live, or else, we''re going to die at the same time." "H-How about you?" "Don''t mind me. I just want you all to cherish the lives that Kim Shin tried to get back for us." Uncle Jonathan responded with a hint of determination on his voice. "How could we do that?!" "Run now! I won''t last long!" Uncle Jonathan voiced out seemingly hurried. Since, he saw the savage wolf was about to move. Fwoosh! "RUN!!!" He screamed out at the top of his lungs once the savage wolf lunged itself towards him. BAM! "UGHHHHH!" Jonathan winced in pain as he was pushed back few meters away by the impact, even though he tried to defend the monster''s assault.

Upon hearing their voices, Jonathan couldn''t helped but smile in satisfaction. Even though he''s not a hero type of person, it''s pretty good feeling when you help someone in needs. Although, it was unfortunate that he need to sacrifice himself, he''s still proud to his decision. Grrr¡­ As he heard the growling sound of the savage wolf, Jonathan could only closed his eyes silently. He doesn''t have any strength to move. He was already exhausted and injured by defending the monster''s assaults. Waiting for his death, Jonathan couldn''t stop himself from smiling bitterly. ''I could only pray for your well-being in another world, young man. Thank you, for saving this old man pitiful life.'' Grrr¡ª Slash! Jonathan''s thought abruptly interrupted when he heard an air-splitting sound and the sudden stop from growling of the savage wolf. "Uncle! Uncle? Are you alright?!" Kim Shin''s voice suddenly rang beside him, as he immediately opened his eyes in astonishment. "Sigh¡­ Just like what I''ve guess. You really sacrificed yourself just to save those people¡­" 100 Entering The Town [You''ve defeated the Savage Wolf] [You''ve leveled up!] [You''ve leveled up!] [You''ve leveled up!] [You''ve leveled up!] [You''ve leveled up!] Thud! ''Sweet!'' Kim Shin exclaimed in his mind as he watched the headless corpse of the savage wolf fell on the ground. "Uncle! Uncle? Are you alright?!" He immediately rushed towards the lying Jonathan as he inquired about the man''s condition once he arrived beside him. Phew! Kim Shin heaved a sighed in relieved once he confirmed that Uncle Jonathan was not in danger anymore. Actually, he already discovered the escaping group in his way. However, he failed to see his Uncle Jonathan, that''s why he grew anxious when he found Uncle Jonathan lying on the ground. "Sigh¡­ Like what I''ve guessed. You sacrificed yourself to save those people." "W-Why are you here?" Uncle Jonathan stammered as he questioned Kim Shin. He still couldn''t believed what he''s seeing. "Of course, to save you!" "Y-You need to run. The savage wolf will kill you¡­" "Ah, do you mean that monster?" Kim Shin answered as he pointed his forefinger to the corpse behind him. "What do you mean?" Uncle Jonathan narrowed his eyes in confusion as he followed Kim Shin''s finger, and his eyes suddenly widened in stupefaction. "Did you killed it?" Jonathan demanded an answer as he couldn''t accept that Kim Shin did kill the boss monster, which replied by a simple nod of Kim Shin''s head.

Here, please drink this so we can move now." Kim Shin brought out a basic health potion and handed it to Jonathan. "Thank you¡­" ..... Rustle! Rustle! "W-Who''s there?!" "Who are you?!" "Please, leave us alone!" The group of men voiced out in fear when they heard the rustling sound amidst of their careful advancing. Rustle! Rustle! Beads of cold sweats could be seen in their forehead as they backed up. Afraid at the thing behind the dark area. The stillness of the surroundings caused them to grew more anxious. "W-What are we going to do?" One of them whispered covertly. "I don''t know¡­" Rustle! Rustle! "Hiiiiiiiik!" The group of men screamed in unison as the thing behind the dark path showed its appearance. "Hey! What are you all screaming for?!" A familiar voice of man resounds, forcing to shut their mouths. And to their surprise, the man they least expect to see is currently standing before them. "U-Uncle Jonathan?" "Jonathan?!" "A-Are you a ghost?" "HAHAHA!" Jonathan couldn''t stop himself from laughing when he saw their expressions as if he''s a ghost. "I''m not a ghost or anything. I did not die, thanks to this young man." Jonathan gratefully said as he gestured his hand to Kim Shin behind him. "If not for this young man who already saved my life twice, I''m probably minced meat right now." He continued with a voice filled of gratitude to Kim Shin. "Kim Shin¡­" The group of young and old men muttered under their breath as they looked at Kim Shin with worship. "I''m glad to see you guys, but we need to leave now." Kim Shin stated without hesitation. They really need to go now, since it''s risky and dangerous to move in the evening when the high-level monsters are roaming free. Hence, without any word, Kim Shin leads the group as they silently followed behind him. He could still remember that yggdramereans village was located on the southern part of the Asian island. And the Asian island was situated on the southern part of the Humans continent. Kim Shin''s group was moving toward the north. Since, he could still recall that there''s a town on the north not far from their current location. Amidst their journey, Kim Shin began to scrutinize his loot after killing the savage wolf.

For it to dropped enhancement crystal, my luck was really not just for show!" Kim Shin blurted out in amazement. Since, it''s pretty rare to loot a crystal enhancement in the first try. Normally, they will need to hunt a number of its kinds before it dropped an enhancement item. Upon hearing this, the men behind him couldn''t help but asked in confusion. "What is enhancement crystal?" "Hmm. Well, given its name. It''s for enhancing equipments. There are different effects of crystal." Kim Shin paused for a moment before he continued. "Just like what I''ve got. If I asked artificer or blacksmith to imbued this to my item, then, that item''s stats will changed. Since, this crystal will increase my max hp by 1000 and movement speed by 100." "Wow!" The group of men''s eyes suddenly shone in admiration at the same time greed as they looked at the pale-green crystal on Kim Shin''s right hand. As he saw this, Kim Shin smirked covertly before placing back the crystal in his inventory. "Okay, it''s enough. We''re about to arrive¡­" Kim Shin spoke to them as he looked ahead. Upon hearing Kim Shin''s words, every one of them wore different expressions. Some of them are narrowing their eyes, seemingly anxious at what would come next, are they going to be an experiment of a mad yggdramereans. While some of them were wearing a relieved expression with a bright smile on their face. They finally could take a nice rest after the hellish experience. And it didn''t take long as the stone road showed before them and the city-like town in the distance which barricaded by tall stone walls. "We finally made it!" "Sigh¡­ I thought we''re going to face another monster in the way. Thankfully, nothing happens." The anxious and worried men voiced out their inner thoughts when they finally saw the town as they heaved a sighed in relief. Kim Shin, on the other hand, wore a solemn expression. He couldn''t forget the guild who saved them from yggdramereans was the same guild who used them for almost 4 years to be a slave of their guild. They are just group of bandits! Seeing the expression of Kim Shin, Uncle Jonathan who''s behind him, couldn''t help but to gently tapped Kim Shin''s back as he asked in worry. "What''s wrong Kim Shin?" Upon hearing this, Kim Shin turned his attention to Uncle Jonathan, and when he saw the man''s worried eyes, he immediately broke into a bright smile as he shook his head. "Nothing¡­" "Are you sure?" "Mm-mm. I''m fine." Since Kim Shin and Uncle Jonathan slowed their steps, the group of men behind them eventually passed them. "STOP!" The booming voice of the two guards clad in a crimson heavy armor before the towering gate stopped Kim Shin''s group. "W-What''s wrong? Why won''t you let us enter?" "Let us enter!" Hearing the commotion, Kim Shin and Uncle Jonathan stared before nodding at each other. As they arrived at the before them, Uncle Jonathan immediately asked the man beside him. "What''s happening?" "Oh, Jonathan. The guards won''t let us in. They are asking for a pass something¡­" "What pass?" "City or town pass." Kim Shin interjected. He already forgot about this, since he was able to enter this town with the help of a high-level guild who saved them. What he could remember was, the passes are given inside the town or city. The city pass is an item that confirmed you''re a resident of the city and able you to use the teleportation portal. "What should we do now?" Uncle Jonathan inquired Kim Shin as he also didn''t know what to do. "Hmm. Wait¡­" ''I hope there''s item here in the shop that I could use.'' He thought as he opened and checked every item listed in the shop. And it didn''t take long as his gaze landed on the golden name. [1 Day City Pass] Cost: 10,000 Vol "So pricey!" Kim Shin blurted out. "This is a scam!" He couldn''t believed the city pass price since it''s freely given inside the city. Without any choice, Kim Shin bought it as he also bought for every one of them. "You''re all going to pay me back with this!" He grudgingly stated to the group as he handed the city pass. "Thank you and welcome! Enjoy your stay!" The two guards spoke aloud as they handed the city pass to them. [You''ve entered the Cavethy Town!] The system''s notified them as they entered the town. "Sigh¡­ We''re in humans town¡­ Sob! Sob! I''m still alive." One of the men suddenly broke into tears and it was followed by the others as they uncontrollably sobbed. Uncle Jonathan, on the side, didn''t utter a single word but, there''s a visible tear on the corner of his eyes. While the group of men is crying, a loud and arrogant voice resounds in the distance. "HAHAHA. What we have here? A bunch of crying babies?" The man laughed in a crazy manner like a madman. And upon hearing this voice, Kim Shin suddenly narrowed his eyes as it glowed sharply. 101 Conflic "HAHAHA. What do we have here? A bunch of crying babies?" The man laughed with cocky expression. Apparently, mocking them without holding-back. And upon hearing this voice, Kim Shin suddenly narrowed his eyes as it gleaned sharply. While Uncle Jonathan''s group stopped at their crying as they glared at the 1.83-meter black-haired man who wore a leather armor over an auburn vest, which complemented with his tanned skin, equipped with iron circlet around the forehead of his rough face, and armed with a falchion on his left waist. This voice was indeed familiar to him since this man is one of the members of the guild who slaved them. "The Boar Fangs Brotherhood¡­" Kim Shin muttered under his breath as he stared at the boar tattoo on the man''s right arm. Seeing the silent expression on their faces, the arrogant man clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Tch! Seems like this town was good at attracting trashes¡­" The man spoke to himself enough to be heard by Kim Shin and others. "What did you say? You bastard!" A youth beside Kim Shin couldn''t hold his anger as it retorted to the arrogant man. "I dare you to say it again!" "HAHA. What''s difficult with that?" The arrogant man replied as he smirked. He then continued. "Listen carefully you midget." He paused before continuing. "I said that you all are trash!" Upon hearing this, not just the youth, even the other men beside Kim Shin was furious and about to rush at the cocky man. However, before they could move an inch, Kim Shin and Uncle Jonathan immediately stopped them. "Enough! Don''t get swayed by his words." "What do you mean about that, Shin?" Uncle Jonathan asked in confusion which also puzzled the others. "He''s trying to scheme us. If we start a fight, the town''s guards will immediately come to apprehend us and be imprison for a week." He answered as he glared at the man before them. This is one of the unspoken rules inside the human''s town or cities. Some of the unspoken rules are: 1. It''s forbidden to kill inside the city. Consequence: Fine by a huge amount and imprison for 100 years. 2. Involved in a fight. Consequence: Fine by a huge amount and imprison for 1 week. 3. It''s forbidden to sexual harass and **** a woman. Consequence: Death sentence ¡­.. Kim Shin''s disclosure of the man''s scheme shook them as they got even more furious. "You asshol*!" "This motherf*cker!" Curses voice of the men bombarded the surprised man before them. He couldn''t understand how this seemingly newbie group was so knowledgeable at the rules inside the city. "Let''s go. Don''t let yourselves be bothered with his words." Kim Shin reminded them as he slowly walked forward. And as he was about to pass the gaping man, the man suddenly frowned and whispered covertly to him. "Remember this! This is not the end of this!" Upon hearing this, Kim Shin didn''t stop moving, but he replied before he increased his pace. "Bring it on!" ''Hmph. Let''s see if you could still have that smirked on your face when I kill you.'' The man thought in irritation as he snorted before leaving. ...¡­ Cavethy Town has a five district. Main district. Louie Bunny Inn. Inside the room 105. Kim Shin could be seen lying on a single bed with his limbs widely spread. Hoo~Haa! Phew~ He was exhausted for non-stop moving. Now, he has the chance to take a good rest. However, he didn''t do it. Since time won''t wait for anyone. He needs to make a future plan. What he need to do from here now? The path his taking was a long one and wouldn''t be that easy. Kim Shin then laid his current situation for now. ''Now, I already made the boar fangs brotherhood as my enemy. Then, we also need a city pass. So, first, we''re going to get our city pass tomorrow.'' ''Then, it decided! And for those who want to hinder my way? They''re welcome to try!'' Afterward, Kim Shin eventually fell asleep. ¡­ In the next morning. In the eastern part of the cavethy town. Outside of the massive white town hall. A good-looking young man clothed with black suit armor and crimson cloak draped over his shoulder could be seen smiling to the middle-aged who''s wearing a leather armor over a white shirt and black jeans with fatherly appearance. "Thank you for coming with me, Shin." "Don''t mention that Uncle. I also planned yesterday night to get my city pass." It''s Kim Shin and Uncle Jonathan who just got their city pass. And if you''re asking about the others? They are still dozing off in the inn. "Anyways, what are your plans now, Uncle?" Kim Shin curiously inquired Jonathan. "Hmm. For now, I think I will take my time and have more rest." Jonathan responded after thinking for a second. "Ah. I see." Kim Shin said as he faintly nodded his head. "How about you?" "I''m going to raise my level today." Kim Shin answered shortly. At first, he planned to invite Jonathan to party with him. He wanted to increase his Uncle''s level immediately. Since he made the boar fangs brotherhood his enemy, there''s a high possibility that they will use underhanded method to get him. That''s why he wanted to help to boost the level of Jonathan. He doesn''t want anything bad to happen that he''s going to regret for the rest of his life. Upon hearing Kim Shin''s plan, Jonathan couldn''t helped but to get worried for Kim Shin as he remembered the arrogant man yesterday.

But, please, be always cautious in your surroundings. Please, be careful." With Jonathan''s words, Kim Shin couldn''t stop himself from getting emotional internally. He missed this care of his Uncle, who he treated as his father. Smiling genuinely, he then answered to assured his uncle. "Don''t worry, Uncle. I won''t be careless. And even if they come? Then, I won''t give them any mercy." As he heard Kim Shin answer, Jonathan nodded his head approvedly. He liked Kim Shin''s mindset, matured enough to care about himself. "Ah, before I go. Uncle, here, this is for you." Kim Shin then handed a bag of vol coins to Jonathan. Jonathan didn''t hesitate to accept Kim Shin''s gift as he asked. "How much this bag have?" "10,000 Vol¡­" "Ah, I see. It''s 10, 000 Vol¡­" Jonathan responded as he nodded his head with a faint smile as if he completely understood Kim Shin''s answer. Then, as if bolt of lightning struck his head, Jonathan widened his eyes in disbelief as he asked Kim Shin one more time. "How much?" "10, 000.." Kim Shin answered with an innocent smile. "T-Ten thousand vol?!" Jonathan blurted out in astonishment. At first, he thought he just misheard it. That''s why he asked Kim Shin one more to confirm. However, he did not misheard it. He then hurriedly opened the bag and saw the mountain of platinum coins in it. "What? Ten thousand? Who are they kidding?" "Don''t mind them. They are maybe just seeking attention." Because of the sudden loud voice of Jonathan, the people who heard his words didn''t believed him but actually thought him as an attention seeker. "N-No, I can''t take this¡­" Jonathan hurriedly tried to pushed back the bag of Vol to Kim Shin. "Uncle, please take it. I want you to take it. Just think of it as a fate, maybe I owe you big in my last life." Hearing Kim Shin''s absurd excuse caused Jonathan to twitched his eyebrows in annoyance. ''Who is this kid fooling?'' "I really can''t take this¡ª" Jonathan''s word was immediately cut as Kim Shin hurriedly ran away while waving him goodbye. "See ya later, Uncle." ¡­.. Arriving before the north gate, Kim Shin was abruptly stopped by a crimson guard of the town. "Your city pass, please." "Here." The city pass was a silver identification card. It has his name, age, and affiliated town on it. ''Are they really NPC?'' Kim Shin wondered as he looked at the guard before him who''s clad in an exquisite and stunning crimson knight armor. All the guards in various cities and towns of the humans continent are high-level. They don''t participate in humans matters. They only do what the Yggdrasil God commanded to them. "Here. Thank you for patiently waiting. I already confirmed it. You have permission to leave now." "Thanks." ¡­ "Boss, is that our target for the day? But he seems like a newbie?" "There''s no wrong with it. He''s our target!" The man answered as he looked at the portrait of Kim Shin before tossing it on the ground. "Okay, let''s follow him for a while." Thus, the group of three adult men followed behind our Hero. ¡­. Slash! [You''ve defeated the Wild Rat!] Thud! The headless corpse of the 1.50-meter tall dark rat fell on the ground. "Would you guys like to show yourselves to me? You all are following me since I left the town. Aren''t you guys getting bored by just watching me in the dark?" Kim Shin shouted without a fixed direction as he kneeled down and dismantled the corpse. [You''ve obtained wild rat pelt!] [You''ve obtained wild rat tail!] ''Tsk!'' A couple of meters away behind Kim Shin, a group of three men who are hiding behind the shades of the trees were taken aback by Kim Shin''s words. "What should we do now, Boss?" "What else you fool?" The boss answered as he slapped the back head of the man who just questioned him. He was truly frustrated to be in a group of idiots. Thus, without any choice, he decided to show himself. "HAHAHA. I didn''t think that you will manage to see through our stealth huh?!" 102 Three Idiots A couple of meters away behind Kim Shin, a group of three men are hiding behind the shades of the trees were taken aback by Kim Shin''s words. "What should we do now, Boss?" "What else you fool?" The boss answered as he slapped the back head of the man who just questioned him. He was truly frustrated to be in a group of idiots. Thus, without any choice, he decided to show himself. "HAHAHA. I didn''t expect that you''ll able to see through our stealth huh?!" Upon hearing this, Kim Shin calmly stood up and faced them. And he saw the group of three men. The man in the front of the two had a pale-brown and skinny built, long black hair reaching his shoulder, seemingly the boss of the group. With a height of approximately 2-meters, dressed in chestnut leather armor, added with a patch on his right eye, and armed with a short sword by the left side of his waist. And the men behind him had a stout body with a height of maybe 5''10 ft tall. Same as their boss, wearing leather armor. "Yeah. That''s right! We didn''t expect that!" The green-haired plump man on the left side shouted, copying his boss''s words. It was followed by another cry of the azure-haired man on the right side. "Yeah. That''s right!" As he heard the loud voices of his men, the boss of the group couldn''t stop his eyebrows from twitching. "Why you two copying what I said?!" He blurted out in anger as his saliva flew out in the air. "Just kept your mouths zipped!" "Anyways, I admire your ability to sense us¡ª" "So, why are you guys following me?" Kim Shin nonchalantly interrupted the man''s words. "Who sent you here?" "Send?" The man confusedly asked as he then exclaimed when he realized something. "Oh! That''s right. We are bounty hunters. Thus, I don''t have any idea who''s our client." ''Hehehe. It seems like this man had offended someone.'' He thought as he grinned in his mind. Even though, he''s showing a simple smile on his face. ''What a lame act." Kim Shin thought when he saw the poor acting of the man. ''Then, if they aren''t sent by someone, why are they following me?'' He wondered, utterly confused by the group''s intention. And by the following word''s of man, he finally discovered what are they after. "We, the trio tigers are merciful. If you hand over all your belongings to us. Then, you can keep your life." The man stated with a genuine smile he could muster as if he''s the most benevolent man in the world. However, contrary to his expectation, the man doesn''t have any idea that his smile was akin to a rapist expression who was about to enjoy another woman. "What can you say? It''s a great deal right?" The man continued. "So, this is just a daylight robbery¡­" Kim Shin murmured as he smiled helplessly. He missed this kind of situation, which normal events in their everyday life. "What did you say?" Instead of responding to the question, Kim Shin waved his left hand and opened his character status. [Kim Shin] [Age:19] [Level: 5] [Title: One Who¡­| Chosen One] (5 more¡­) [Class: Death Priest] [Sub Class: N/A] HP: (252/252) MP: (201/201) Energy: (100/100) Defense:4 Attack Speed:15 Movement Speed:12 [Attributes:] Strength: 15.2 + (1) Constitution: 15.2 Vitality: 15.2 Dexterity: 15.2 Intelligence: 15.2 Senses: 15.2 Luck: 20 Free Allocation Points (AP): 15 Without hesitation, he immediately added his free points to ''Strength'' and ''Dexterity'' He decided to invest his 10 points to strength and the 5 points left to dexterity. Since, his skills doesn''t require magic power that much. Hence, it''s not bad to focus on his strength and speed for the time being. Shua! Kim Shin''s entire body suddenly flashed with faint light that fade to the sky after he invested all his points. ''Oh. They added this effect? Seems like the God of Yggdrasil was really into the game, eh?'' He thought before he turned his attention back to the group of bandit. "Sorry, what did you said?" Kim Shin''s question infuriated them. However, as if he''s already used to this. The leader controlled his emotion as he reiterated his previous statement. "So, what''s your decision?!" He asked as he subconsciously raised his voice. "What if I don''t want to?" Upon hearing Kim Shin''s question. The leader of the group couldn''t hold his anger anymore as he furiously bellowed. "I''ve given you a chance. I''ve tried to be kind to you. However, you''re here, pissing me off?" "I don''t care anymore!" He shouted as he unsheathed his common iron sword that made of iron. "I will kill you even if you begged me mercy." Upon seeing the action of their boss, the two plump men immediately followed as they summoned their personal weapon. Shua! Shua! Two pale light appeared before their hands before turning to a double-bladed battle-ax and a one-handed mace. The green-haired man owned the double-bladed axe while, mace on the sky-blue-haired man''s hand. "HAHA. It''s your unfortunate day man!" The green-haired man arrogantly said to Kim Shin as he grinned. And it was followed by the mace wielder while shaking his head left and right. "Truly unfortunate." "Enough blabbering. Go! Get him." The leader commanded the two with a loud voice. "No, problem!" "Roger!" The two stout men instantly answered as they ran towards Kim Shin with big stride. Surprisingly, their speed was faster compared to Kim Shin''s current speed because of his low attributes. Whoosh! Whoosh! With a distance of 20-yards, the two almost reached Kim Shin in just an instant. "Don''t blame us. Our boss already gave you a chance but you didn''t took it." The green-haired man conveyed as he raised his axe over his head. At the same time, the blue-haired man also raised his mace and strongly swung it down to Kim Shin. However, despite their attack, Kim Shin avoided it with ease as he jumped backward. Thus, their assaults landed on the grassy ground heavily, causing a loud sound and clouds of dust along with the trembling ground. As their visions were blocked by clouds of dust, he didn''t let the opportunity slipped as he gestured his left-hand like a gun and uttered. "Air Bullet!" Bang! Bang! Bang! "Ugh!" Thud! A solid sound echoed as if something huge fell on the ground. "Brother Juan!" The startled voice of the blue-haired man resounds on the surroundings. And as the cloud of dust lifted, Kim Shin saw the green-haired man, Juan, lying on the ground beside his axe. "F*ck! I didn''t expect that he could use magic." Juan cursed as he struggled to stood up after picking up his ax before caressing his aching abdomen. Since Kim Shin accurately hit it. "Are you alright?!" The blue-haired man asked with a loud voice. Apparently worried at his friend''s condition. "Don''t worry about me brother Jasper!" Juan replied, assuring his friend Jasper as he locked his gaze to Kim Shin with a complex and furious expression. The leader on the rear, watched the situation while frowning. He never expects Kim Shin to have a magic skill despite using a sword as his weapon. Especially, surprised at the power of Kim Shin''s skill. Since, he managed to pushed down Juan who''s pretty high-level at the current day. Thus, for this reason, he decided to join his men. Hence, he calmly and slowly walked forward. "You''re dead!" Jasper who''s glaring at Kim Shin, shouted as he suddenly took a big stride forward, and with a loud shout, his mace radiate with pale-green light as he smashed it to the ground. BOOM! Crack~ ''Power Smash?!'' Kim Shin exclaimed in his mind as he covered his eyes with his left arm because of the loud explosion and strong gust of wind that hit him. And it was followed up by quaking of the ground as it began to cracked towards Kim Shin, causing him to lost his balance. ''Damn!'' He swore internally as he hurriedly did a couple of backflipped, avoiding the damaged parameter of the skill. [Power Smash] Grade: Common Requirements: Warrior Lv. 10 (Mace) (Area of effect. Hits the ground to generate a small explosion damaging enemies in the 3-yards perimeter) Cooldown: 3 seconds Usage: 10 energy Warrior class have different types of melee weapons with a different set of skills. Distancing himself, Kim Shin frowned as he thought. ''Level 10 warrior? It''s pretty high for the current day. I also don''t know if I could still take another class trial¡­'' It''s only the 6th day of mankind in the Yggdrasil. Thus, it was really a surprise that there are people already reached level ten. If it compared to his first time here, Kim Shin knew that mankind reached level ten when it''s already the 3rd week. That''s only for the people who took the risk. Well, unbeknownst to him, he caused all of this. Because of the sudden change and limitations in the system, only a few people took the risk to climb stronger. And a lot of people chose to stay inside the city where they''re safe from monsters. That''s why there''s no short in resources. Thus, those who took the risk, easily raised their levels without difficulty. And as the clouds of dust evaporated into thin air, Kim Shin discovered the swiftly rushing leader of the group. "Rushing Spike!" The man stomped his feet as he lunged himself to Kim Shin with an intention to impale, as his sword radiate with red-light, leaving a trail behind as he moved. [Rushing Spike] Grade: Common Requirements: Warrior Lv.5 (Sword) (Rushing attack. Lunges forward skewering enemies with the tip of sword) Cooldown: 3 seconds Usage: 10 energy ''Tsk!'' Knowing that he couldn''t dodge this attack, Kim Shin hurriedly raised his constellations devourer, with intention to parry the attack. BOOOM! ''Ah! Strong!'' Kim Shin exclaimed his mind as he was pushed a couple of meters backward, leaving a foot trail on the ground. ''It seems higher than level 10¡­'' Kim Shin could guess there level by the damage he had taken. Even though he received lower damage compared to Jasper''s attack, he could confirm it since his attributes increased because of his equipped title. [One Who Triumphed Over Death] Effect: ( For every 1% HP he lost, all stats increase by 1% ) "Hoh! You''re quite good ha?" The man commented at Kim Shin''s ability. "Thank you." Kim Shin replied with a simple smile as he continued. "Now, I''m done analyzing you guys level." Kim Shin''s expression instantly became solemn as he covertly uttered. "Over Limit!"

The man commented at Kim Shin''s ability. "Thank you." Kim Shin replied with a simple smile as he continued. "Now, I''m done analyzing you guys level." Kim Shin''s expression instantly became solemn as he covertly uttered. "Over Limit!" BOOOM! Kim Shin stats instantly increased by 100 as his body bulged under his clothes along with the sudden appearance of the crimson fluctuating smoke around his entire body. He activated his bloodlust at the same time, causing a huge crater around him as the ground couldn''t endure his extreme aura. ''I can''t get enough of this. With this skill, my stats will be the same to level 30 wearing rare items.'' Kim Shin thought as he grinned to the dumbfounded and shivering trio before him. "So, where are we again?" Kim Shin smiled at them as he spoke with an icy tone. However, for the trio, Kim Shin''s smile was akin to a grim reaper smile itself. ''W-What is this power?'' ''I-It''s impossible!'' ''I-Is he a monster?!'' They differently thought as their body continue trembling. "What? Why aren''t you guys answering?" Kim Shin asked playfully as he took a step forward, and the trio took a step backward every time Kim Shin move closer. Narrowing his eyes, Kim Shin suddenly took a big stride as he suddenly vanished. Well, to the trio eyes, Kim Shin suddenly vanished. However, to be precise, Kim Shin only moved faster than their eyes could catch. "W-Where is he?!" Juan uttered as he cautiously looked around him. Then, out of nowhere, Kim Shin''s voice resounds behind them. "Are you looking for me?" "Hiiiiik!" Shivering uncontrollably, the trio slowly turned around as if they are broken machines. And what showed before them is Kim Shin''s widely smiling face, causing them to jumped back in fright. "F-Forgive us!" "W-We won''t bother you anymore¡­" "P-Please don''t kill us¡­ me¡­" Despaired and apologizing voices of the trio reverberated in the surroundings, which infuriate Kim Shin. "Why would I do that?" At Kim Shin''s question, a different voice not coming from the trio responded to him. "Because they are my men!" Raising his head as he looked in the distance, Kim Shin found a man clad in a dark robe, however. He could discern the leather armour beneath it. Even with this kind of disguise, Kim Shin knew this man''s identity. As he couldn''t stop himself from smirking, "Why are you wearing like that? Do you think I won''t recognized you under that robe, Johnson?" Johnson, Boar Fangs Brotherhood member, the person who blocked them as they just got enter the town. "Tsk. So, you did an investigation about me¡­" Johnson muttered as he didn''t deny Kim Shin''s assumption. The shivering trio, on the other hand, hurriedly turned around when they heard Johnson''s voice as they scampered behind him without a second thought. "Brother, Johnson!" The leader of the three idiots called out as he held on Johnson''s left leg. "Thank you for coming at the right time, Brother!" He gratefully said. However, contrary to his expectation that Johnson will help him to stand up, Johnson instead, kicked him on the face, pushing him back on the ground. Bam! "Boss!" "Boss¡­" The two stout men were momentarily taken aback as they immediately helped their boss without hesitation. "Joaquin, If not for brother Fang I won''t bother helping you," Johnson said in a cold tone as he glared at Joaquin, who''s eyes are widened in shock while clinging on the shoulders of his men. Joaquin, couldn''t help but feel gloomy by Johnson''s words. It''s true that if it wasn''t because of his big brother Fang who''s a higher-up member of the Boar Fangs Brotherhood, they won''t care about him. However, at the same time, he couldn''t stop himself from having a resentment to Johnson. ''They''re always looking down on me¡­'' Joaquin grudgingly thought. "Now, leave! I have a matter here to settle." Johnson said in a commanding tone as he turned his attention to Kim Shin. "Just like what I said yesterday. It wasn''t the end." Johnson spoke to Kim Shin as the trio behind began to walk, about to leave without a word. However, before they could move far away, Kim Shin''s cold voice resounds behind them, stopping their track. "Who said that you three could already leave?" The trio doesn''t know what to do, as they looked at Johnson who''s eyebrows are twitching after Kim Shin ignored him. "You noob really had the guts to ignore me, eh?!" Johnson bellowed as if his veins in his neck would break at any moment. "You''re so noisy!" Kim Shin nonchalantly commented as he picked his ear in annoyance. "What did you say¡ª" Johnson''s words abruptly stopped as he saw a huge fist flashed before his eyes, and his mind immediately went blank. BOOOOM! Crack! "Urghk!" The ground shook heavily as the ground cracked along with the loud explosion, causing some small bird-type monsters on the trees to flew away in shock. "J-J-JOHNSON!!!" Joaquin stammered as he cried out when he discovered the stupefying situation. Johnson was unconscious on the ground with open mouth, with white foam coming out from it, as Kim Shin''s fist printed on his face. Joaquin couldn''t comprehend what happened. Johnson was just talking earlier and in just a blink of an eye, Johnson was already down on the ground. Condition is unknown! "You''re skull was surprisingly tough!" Kim Shin commented as he eyed the unconscious Johnson while wriggling his left wrist that ached after he punched Johnson. Crack! A metallic cracking sound could be heard as the circlet on Johnson''s forehead broke into pieces. ''Seems like this is a life-saving item... What a waste!'' Kim Shin thought as he realized the reason why he didn''t manage to blast Johnson''s head. "W-W-What are you?!" "M-Monster!" "D-Demon!" The trio began to shiver once again, as their back soaked in cold sweat. "Me? I am¡ª" Kim Shin was about to answer and tease the trio. However, he suddenly squinted his eyes when he felt a number of presence around them, hiding in the dark shades of the trees. ''Tsk. He brought a reinforcement with him. You really think big of me. I''m flattered!'' Kim Shin thought as he stared at Johnson. ''However, I need to kill you now. I don''t want you to come and bother me later. I don''t have enough time to play with your kind!'' Gripping the hilt of his sword with a weight of 4 pounds, he then raised it over Johnson''s body with both hands. And when he''s about to pierced Johnson''s chest. A loud shout resounds in the distance, hoping him to stop his action. "STOP IT!" However, instead of stopping, Kim Shin only smirked as he unhesitatingly pierced Johnson''s heart. PUCHI! This time, Kim Shin''s sword easily pierced through Johnson''s heart, as if he cut through butter. That''s how sharp his sword is! Johnson couldn''t groan in pain anymore as he immediately died. And the trio was gaping in shock, as they couldn''t stop Kim Shin from killing Johnson because of fear creeping inside them. "NOOO!!!!" A heart-wrenching and agonizing cry of a man reverberated kilometers away. "Graaaaaa! I WILL KILL YOU!!!" The man vowed with a tone of voice filled with hate and malice. Upon hearing the man''s words, Kim Shin slowly pulled his sword from Johnson''s heart and leisurely raised his head, turning his attention at the man who''s swiftly running to him. The man had a silver-white brushed up hair, diamond-shape face. Wearing an iron light armor with a wolf-like head pauldron on his left arm, and armed with silver-iron gauntlet. This man is also familiar to Kim Shin. Judas Bautista. Johnson''s Brother. Second Vice-Leader of the Boar Fangs Brotherhood. "I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!" Judas bellowed furiously as gray hair began to appear on his face, along with his body starts to increase in size, causing his speed to become faster as it flashed towards Kim Shin, with pair of crimson eyes. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. He was followed by the appearance of over 10 members of the Boar Fangs Brotherhood. Whoosh! 105 Judas Judas Bautista. Johnson''s Brother. Second Vice-Leader of the Boar Fangs Brotherhood. "I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!" Judas bellowed furiously as gray hair began to appear on his face, along with his body starts to increase in size, causing his speed to become faster as he flashed towards Kim Shin, with pair of crimson eyes. He was followed by the appearance of over 10 members of the Boar Fangs Brotherhood. Whoosh! ''What is this? Bloodline or class shapeshifting skill?'' Kim Shin wondered in confusion as he began to activate his speed booster skill. He doesn''t care whatsit and whatsnot. What truly matters is he needs to kill all of them. Except with his goal of revenge, he also desired to end all the suffering of the people working under the Boar Fangs Brotherhood. BOOM! Fwoosh! ''I''m going to finish you all now.'' He thought as he decided to settle all his matters here quickly. So, he could leave immediately to the city. Kim Shin instantly broke the ground under his feet as he bolted towards Judas without ounce of hesitation. To be precise, he doesn''t want to waste time, or else, if his over-limit skill timed-out, he''s done for good. The trio beside Kim Shin''s previous place gaped in astonishment. They don''t have any idea what''s happening. After Kim Shin killed Johnson, a group of people began to appear and hurriedly leaped and dashed toward Kim Shin. And now seeing that fight was about to start once again, the trio didn''t hesitate to escape anymore as they run dozens of meters away. Boosted by over-limit, bloodlust, pseudo-dragon body, and accelerator, Kim Shin swiftly crossed the 20-meters distance as he and Judas arrived face to face. "DIE!" Judas screamed out furiously, as Kim Shin felt the man''s killing intent directed at him. ''Funny!'' Kim Shin smirked as he slightly ducked his head, dodging the heavy right punch of Judas that also brought strong shockwaves. He could saw every flaw in Judas''s combat style since he also trained boxing before. Though he''s not good compared to close combat masters, he could be considered professional boxer in modern earth evaluations. Despite missing his first strike, Judas followed up a left punch downward with a shout. "You''re going to join my brother in afterlife!" With well-trained movements, Kim Shin reflexively raised his sword over the right side of his head, blocking Judas''s punch. As he then stepped in his right foot, clenching his left hand firmly to fist. He then pulled his left arm before he flashed it straight to Judas''s abdomen which guarded with iron light armor, causing a solid sound as if a huge hammer landed heavily on iron. BOOOM! "Urghhhhh!" Judas winced in pain as he rocketed backward, crashing on the ground, causing a loud sound as the ground broke into pieces. "Heal!" Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Kim Shin punched left Judas on the verge of dying, however. A sudden pale-white light descent on Judas, pulling him out of the afterlife. Upon seeing this, Kim Shin began to understand that his over-limit skill wasn''t overpowered as it seem. The increased by 100 points to all attributes wasn''t that effective in the face of a high-level person. Why is that? An example is if a man is already level 30, he have 30 points in his all attributes. Added with 90 free points; 3 per level. If that man invested all his 90 points in his strength, his stats will easily passed the 100 attribute points. Then, the next problem was his other attributes. That''s the time when the items come in handy, with additional stats on the items, it will help the person''s shortcoming. Rare grade items were already good, what if that person equipped with unique, legendary, mythic, or divine grade items? Just imagining that, Kim Shin realized that he couldn''t be complacent yet. He still has a long way before he could be satisfied. Cough! Cough! Judas coughed a mouthful of blood as he struggled to stand up, brushing off the blood dripping out on the corner of his mouth, Judas couldn''t stop himself from shivering for a second when he saw the big hole on his broken armor. ''What a terrifying person¡­ I thought I''m gonna die by his punch. Who the heck this time, my idiot brother offended?'' Judas thought in resentment to his brother as he waved his left arm, showing the system''s panel as he immediately brought out a health potion. While drinking the potion, he raised his right arm and waved it towards Kim Shin. Upon seeing this, the group of men in robe outfit nodded their head as they began to bombard Kim Shin with various kinds of skills. "Attack!" "Let us show the might of Boar Fangs Brotherhood!" "Kill!" ''Show the might by ganging a single low-level person?'' Kim Shin commented in his mind when he heard their voices as he started to move, dodging the fireballs and arrows raining down on him. ''I still have some time. I need to end this immediately!'' BOOOM! BOOOM! The defeaning explosions also caused huge clouds of dust as they crumbled the ground to pieces, engulfing Kim Shin''s entire figure, hiding himself from their visions. As the group of Judas saw this, they abruptly stopped their attacks, they aren''t sure if they got Kim Shin. Compared to them, Judas knew Kim Shin''s ability as he ordered them with a loud voice. "Don''t stop attacking!" "Fireball!" "Flurry of Arrows!" [Fireball] (Active) Grade: Common Requirements: Mage Lv.5 (Wand/Staff/Rod/Scepter) (Shoot a ball of fire, which exploded on hit. Deal 35% magic power damage) Cooldown: 3 seconds Usage: 10 magic power [Flurry of Arrows] (Active) Grade: Common Requirements: Weapon Specialist Lv. 5 (Bow) (Shoot 8 arrows, which exploded on hit. Each explosion does 20 damage) Cooldown: 6 seconds Usage: 25 magic power BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! The trio in the distance watched the fight as they still shiver in fear, as if they are certain that Kim Shin won''t die with just those skills. However, contrary to the trio thoughts, Judas group was feeling proud of their ability and actions as they haven''t received any response from Kim Shin. "STOP!" Judas shouted. "Did we got him?!" One of the healers on the rear wondered. "HAHA. Of course, who do you think we are? No one could survive in that attack." The man in a black hoodied robe proudly proclaimed it seems he''s one of the mages as he was armed by long silver-colored staff. "Hehehe. You''re probably right¡­" The healer responded half-heartedly, he''s wasn''t sure but, he felt that there''s something wrong it the situation. Then, as the clouds of dust vanished into thin air, the group saw the face of the ground after their numerous attacks. Their attacks created a big crater on the ground, with a deep of 2-meters. And Kim Shin wasn''t there, as if Kim Shin didn''t leave a single remain. Sigh¡­ The group heaved a sighed in relief when they saw the situation, expecting that Kim Shin was already dead. However, contrary to the group thoughts, the trio, healer, and Judas frowned in anxiousness. They didn''t know, but they are certain that this is not the end. "HAHAHA. He''s dead, let''s leave now, we still have to raid a dungeon." The same mage spoke as he turned around and about to leave, however. To his horror, he suddenly discovered the appearance of Kim Shin behind their vice leader, Judas. "Vice Leader, behind you!" He shouted in worry, hoping to save his vice leader from its predicament. However, before his vice leader could comprehend his words, Kim Shin already flashed his sword to Judas neck. "Too bad. I''m getting used to sneaking." Kim Shin responded as he grinned before dashing to the sole healer of the group. "It''s massacre time! HEHEHEHE." 106 Incoming Trouble - I Sigh¡­ The group heaved a sighed in relief when they saw the situation, expecting that Kim Shin was already dead. However, contrary to the group thoughts, the trio, healer, and Judas frowned in anxiousness. They didn''t know, but they are certain that this is not the end. "HAHAHA.

Still dumbfounded at the sudden situation, no one could come back quickly to their senses as Kim Shin instantly appeared before the healer. "You''re next, farewell!" Kim Shin uttered as he arrived before the healer, followed by strong gust of wind because of his speed that slammed on the man, jolting it back to its senses. "N-N-No, please¡ª" Astonished by Kim Shin''s appearance, the healer was taken aback as he tried to beg for mercy. However, as if he was possessed, Kim Shin didn''t hesitate to thrust his sword forward, piercing the man''s heart. (Critical Hit!) "Urgh!" With widened eyes, gushing blood from his mouth and chest, the man slowly fell on the ground as Kim Shin pulled his sword out of the man''s chest. Kim Shin then slowly turned around, facing the gaping man in the distance, who tried to alert his vice-leader earlier. "You''re next!" ''You seems so arrogant earlier, eh?!'' Kim Shin thought as he remembered and heard the cocky words of the man earlier. A few moments prior, Kim Shin immediately hid in the shades of the trees after he was bombarded by skills and engulfed by clouds of dust, waiting for them to exhaust themselves while considering who to kill first. Should he kill the healer first? Or The vice-leader/commander of the group? And it didn''t take a few seconds as he immediately made a decision. Killing the heart of the group is the best decision. Now that they are out of leader, their group is bound to get destroyed. ¡­ "D-D-Don''t come closer¡­" Fear devoured his arrogant and cocky attitude as he stuttered to spoke while slowly backing up. ''What should I do? What should I do?'' ''I can''t die yet!'' ''I''m bound to be someone significant in the future!'' ''I can''t die now¡­'' ''I''m the chosen one!'' The man hysterically thought as he looked around him, discovering the dumbfounded and stunned expression of his brothers. Then, as if a blunt force hit his head, he came up with a solution to survive. "S-Shoot him! Believe at what y''all got! Believe in yourselves!" He shouted, waking them up from their stunned state. Upon hearing his voice, his brother''s morale starts to come back as they took a stance before murmuring to themselves. "He''s right! We should believe in ourselves!" "We can do it!" "Let''s do it one more time!" One of them screamed out and pulled the string of his bow with arrow before he let go of the arrow that flew toward Kim Shin which reflexively parried by him. "Heh!" Kim Shin could only smirk at the situation. Shua! Shua! Shua! Three more arrows shoot toward him as he smoothly dodged them by just tilting his head to left and right. "Don''t stop shooting!" The man who Kim Shin set his eyes shouted once again, encouraging his brothers. "Fire!" "USE EVERYTHING Y''ALL HAVE IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, seemingly desperate to pushed the morale of his brothers. " "OUHHHH!" " The group exclaimed in unison as they activate every skill they have, and even using their precious potions. Shua! Shua! Shua! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! Number of arrows and magic skills shoot toward Kim Shin, greatly shaking the forest field. In Cavethy Town. The residents of the town stopped what they''re doing as they looked at the source of loud explosions where Kim Shin and the boar fangs brotherhood group are battling. "What in the world could be happening there?!" "I thought It was just some newbie happening to be hunting low-level monsters.." "Yeah. I also thought about that¡­" "Could it be a group hunting a boss?" "Boss in the low-level field?" "Want to see it?" "Nah. I''m passing to that, I still have a lot of things to do." "Okay then, see you later!" With the same conversations happening in the town, a lot of people began to curiously run towards the battle location. In the district five near the town''s hall, inside a huge room of a 3-story building, a rough-looking man could be seen drinking before a giant table that filled with food and alcohol. Two naked women were clinging on his both arms as they fed him with grape-like fruits. "Please eat my fruit, Master!" The long black-haired woman on the man''s left arm coquettishly said with blushing cheeks as she hold the apple-like fruit with orange color before his mouth. "HAHAHA. Of course, I will gladly eat your fruit." The man laughed with a big voice and wide smile on his face before he took a big bite, causing the woman to chuckled bashfully. "Sister, don''t be unfair. Let me also fed our master!" The woman with short black hair on the man''s right arm grumbled in jealousy. "Don''t be jealous you little girl. I will also eat yours!" The man said, pacifying the grumbling woman as he pinched its chubby cheeks. "Ouch! I-It hurts master!" The woman cried in pain as she rubbed his red cheeks, causing the man to laughed euphorically. Amidst the man''s laughing, a hurried footstep echoed on the corridor outside of the man''s room. Then, without a word, the huge double door opened widely. Creak! Bam! "Who dare to disrupt my lunch?!" The man bellowed furiously, angered at the sudden interruption. "Forgive me, Master! I have an important report." A man clad in full black clothes like an assassin kneeled his right knee on the ground before he voiced out. "What is this all about, Phil?!" The man who was angered at the sudden intrusion, lightly lowered his voice when he discovered that the man who entered is one of his most loyal shadow guard. "It''s about the Bautista brothers." Upon hearing Phil''s words, the man couldn''t stop his eyebrows from frowning. ''What kind of trouble these troublemakers did this time?'' "Tell me!" He demanded. "They are both dead." "WHAT?!" The man exclaimed in disbelief and shock as he sprang up of his huge, exquisite chair. "What did you say?" "They are both dead." Phil repeated. "Who did this? Who the hell in my town dared to kill my own men?!" The man voice began to get louder once again. Even though the Bautista brothers were troublemakers, he couldn''t remove the fact that they are still his men. And killing his men was damaging his pride. "Base on my investigation, the man''s name is Kim Shin. He came to the town yesterday with a group of low-level men. Then, Johnson played a prank on them, like what he always did. However, this time, he failed to do his prank. This Kim Shin exposed his plan, causing Johnson to hate him. Then, you could imagined what happened next." Phil explained as he raised his head and looked straight at his master''s eyes. "What is that man''s level?" "Hmm. I''m actually not sure about that master. Forgive me." "It''s alright. Go and prepared, we will let that man know who is he messing." The man said in cold tone as his eyes glinted sharply. ¡­. Shua! Slash! Boom! Kim Shin cut the fireball in the half as it exploded behind him. ''Hahaha. Now, Let me excuse myself¡­'' The man thought while looking at Kim Shin who''s still cutting his brothers one by one like grass as he then turned around, about to sneak out of the battle with a wide smile on his face. Looking behind him, he couldn''t hide his blissful expression as he thought, ''Goodbye fools!'' Boop! As he just turned around, he suddenly bumped into something solid, forcing him to took steps backward. "What the¡ª Y-You!" 107 Incoming Trouble - II ''Hahaha. Now, Let me excuse myself¡­'' The man thought while looking at Kim Shin who''s still cutting his brothers one by one like grass as he then turned around, about to sneak out of the battle with a wide smile on his face. Looking behind him, he couldn''t hide his blissful expression as he exclaimed in his mind, ''Goodbye fools!'' Boop! As he just turned around, he suddenly bumped into something solid, forcing him to took steps backward. "What the¡ª Y-You!" To his horror, Kim Shin was already standing before him with lifeless emotion as he stared at him. Which caused him to be more afraid of the demon in human skin. How could he call him human, when he witnessed how Kim Shin killed his brothers like he was just cutting weeds. While he unconsciously backed up, he smiled inwardly as he suddenly pointed his staff to Kim Shin and uttered. "Fireball!" Swish! A small spark of fire appeared before his staff, as it instantly turned to a volleyball size, and swiftly shoot to Kim Shin. "Hahaha. Die!" The man laughed in ecstasy knowing that he could damage Kim Shin at this close distance as he immediately jumped backward, afraid to be included by his attack. BOOM!!! The fireball powerfully landed on Kim Shin as his figure instantly engulfed by the cloud of white smoke. "Hahaha. That''s what you get for underestimating me!" The man laughed in a great mood as his saliva flew outside, expecting Kim Shin to be fatally injured. However, his laugh did not last, as his eyes widened along with his mouth because of shock. "Not bad." Kim Shin commented while looking at his health bar without any damage. He then continued. "To have the courage to shoot me despite your predicament is truly admirable." "However, that''s all about it. You can die now and join your brothers in hell." Kim Shin said after a short pause as he took a single step forward, bringing him instantly before the man. "N-N-NO¡ª" Slash! The man''s words were immediately cut as Kim Shin effortlessly strike the man''s neck. It was followed by a mighty kick to the man''s chest, causing the man to flung dozen meters away with broken ribs. "Damn!" "W-What should we do now?" "Do we still need to fight?" "That''s wrong. The question now is how to survive¡­" The left members of Boar Fangs Brotherhood converse with each other as they anxiously observed Kim Shin, after the demon in disguise killed their supposed to be powerful damage dealer. Looking at each other without a word, the group nodded their heads at the same time, as if they understand each other''s thoughts. Thus, what followed next did not surprise Kim Shin. The boar fangs brotherhood members ran in different directions. This was their last resort to survive and call a reinforcement. This is the plan they thought has the highest chance to survive. If Kim Shin followed one of them, then the others will have the chance to survive longer or escape. However, they still underestimated Kim Shin''s ability. It didn''t take a long time before Kim Shin, decapitated everyone of them. Phew~ ''It''s still morning but here I am already exhausted because of these idiots.'' Kim Shin grumbled in annoyance as walked towards Judas''s corpse. Swoosh! ''I still have a minute before the over-limit ends.'' Kim Shin thought in his mind as he stared at Judas''s corpse. ''This man did transform earlier..'' That''s right. Judas who''s furiously dashing after he killed his brother Johnson suddenly transformed into a wolf-like appearance. However, he didn''t get the chance to execute this ability after Kim Shin beat him quickly. Now that his utterly curious, Kim Shin didn''t hesitate, and immediately activated his soul cleave. ''Please give me something useful¡­'' Kim Shin prayed in his mind as he eyed Judas corpse that was engulfed by his dark-violet aura. Shua! ''Ugh!'' He faintly groaned when the black lights pierced his temple along with disappearance of Judas''s corpse. He''s starting to get used at the pain. ''Am I being masochist now?'' Kim Shin shivered at that line of thought. As he, madly shook his head left and right, to clear this crazy mind of him. Ding! [You''ve received 0.1 to all stats!] ''That''s it?!'' Kim Shin exclaimed in his mind as he waited for other system''s notification. However, his hope immediately crumbled as few seconds passed that nothing follow up. ''Darn it!'' BOOOM!!! The ground quivered heavily as Kim Shin punched it in frustration. When he''s not hoping for something that system will give him a good thing. But now that he''s yearning for something, the system didn''t give him anything. ''I should loot this item before others got here.'' Kim Shin''s eyes lit up with this line of thought as he looked at the corpse and items on the ground.

Yes|No] Reaching the nearest corpse, a system''s panel appeared before him, asking if he wants to dismantle the dismantle it. ''Haha. Of course!'' Kim Shin laughed in his mind as he pressed the yes button filled with excitement. [You''ve received Basic Health Potion x 2] [You''ve received Basic Magic Recovery Potion x 1] [You''ve received iron staff!] ¡­ ''Hahaha. It''s actually fun to loot other''s items.'' Kim Shin thought in happiness after he looted 5 corpse''s items. ''Oh, the trio''s corpse aren''t here?'' While dismantling the corpses'' item, he suddenly remembered the trio who planned to rob him earlier. ''Tsk. They are lucky that I forgot about them. But, don''t let me see their face¡­'' Kim Shin thought as he kneeled down beside a corpse and was about to dismantle it. However, his eyes suddenly squinted as he felt number of presence running toward his direction. ''I need to get out of here.'' ¡­ "Hurry, we''re about to arrive." "I know, just keep moving!" Fwoosh! "W-What in the world happened here?" "Is this did by a boss monster?" Shock and dumbfounded voices resound as number of people began to come, witnessing the damage in the forest by the battle of Kim Shin and boar fangs brotherhood. Uncountable of broken and burned trees, huge craters on the ground, and the scent of fresh blood in the air. It was like a horror scene without corpses, since the corpse will vanish after dismantling. As if the place was soaked by blood from the sky. "What kind of a monster can do this?" That''s the biggest question in everyone''s mind right now. When suddenly, a vociferous, and arrogant voice resound behind them. "Move! Move! Give way to the Boar Fangs Brotherhood." Upon hearing this, the people began to scamper, following the order of the loud voice as they gossiped with each other. "It''s the Boar Fangs Brotherhood, why are they here?" Questioned by a curious man as he looked at the fully armed members of the boar fangs brotherhood. "I''m not sure. But, I heard a rumor that someone offended one of the core members of Boar Fangs Brotherhood." The man covertly whispered, answering the curiosity of the man beside him. "Eh, who is that man? To managed the master of this tyrant guild to come out." The curious man said in doubtful tone of voice as he looked at the person in flashy gold armour, riding on the back of a 2-meter gray wolf. "Huh? Woah, you''re right." The man who answered earlier was confused for a moment until his eyes landed on Boar Fangs Brotherhood master. He didn''t expect to see this big tyrant at this time. "Vale Villamor¡­" The man murmured while secretly glaring at the man on the back of the gray wolf. ¡­ "Phil, what happened here? Where are my men? Judas, where is his corpse?" Vale asked the new arrived Phil after inspecting the scene. "Master¡­ I did not see any clue about them. There''s nothing remained. Not even a piece of armor." Phil answered softly, afraid to incite the anger of his master. Upon hearing Phil''s answer, Vale couldn''t stop himself from squinting his eyes. "Do you have any idea what happened here? What about the others?" "I''m afraid that they were also dead, master." "Are you telling me that a single person could kill bunch of high-level people by himself?" Vale''s voice began to rise along with his eyebrows as he asked the shivering Phil. Phil couldn''t answer when he felt the pressuring aura pinning down on him. "Tsk. I will give you a chance. Find out what happened here." Vale clicked his tongue before he said as he withdraw his aura. "Thank you¡ª" "No. I have a better idea." Phil''s words were interrupted as Vale faced the group of people and shouted. "To all of you who are here. I, Vale Villamor, guild master of the boar fang brotherhood will pay you a handsome reward if any one of you bring me an authentic answer about what happened here." Upon hearing this, the people began to converse with each other, asking for any idea about what happened. However, someone in the crowd has a different thought. "What is that reward if you could be kind to answer, guild master vale." As they heard that voice, the crowd was instantly silence, waiting for Vale to answer. "Hmph." Vale smirked faintly as he looked at the expression of the crowd before he answer them. "50, 000 Vol¡­" "And you will be invited to be a core member of my guild." Vale answered proudly after a short pause. "What?! To be a core member of boar fangs brotherhood?" "Go! Go! Hurry! Let''s investigate what happened. Even without the cash, it''s already good to be a core member of the brotherhood." ''Hahaha..'' Vale laughed in his mind as he watched the crowd ran in every direction, hoping to find a believable answer. "And you guys? Find that Kim Shin for me." Vale ordered the fully geared men behind him with icy cold tone. 108 Goblins Den - I In the Northern Side of the Cavethy Town, Cavethy Goblin''s Forest. ''it''s should be here.'' Kim Shin thought as he looked at the Map prompt hovering before his eyes. The cavethy goblin''s forest had a dense of tall trees and plants but fortunately, it wasn''t dark at all. A couple of horned-rabbit occasionally appeared on his path. Nevertheless, it didn''t stop him from moving, since they are neutral monster. Another window was hovering before his eyes, beside the Map window. It''s his inventory. He''s taking a look at the items he got from dismantling boar fangs brotherhood members.

Yes|No] Shua! Silver-Gray boots appeared on his feet after he unequipped his old shoes. After equipping the Gray Wolf''s items, he suddenly realized an important thing. He could equip a warrior/no class item. Then, what does it mean? Is his hidden skill a warrior? Impossible. So, I have no class yet? That''s more plausible. Rustle! Rustle! Kim Shin stopped moving after he heard the movements in the distance as he shook his head. ''This is not the right time to think about that. I should focus on the matter before me.'' He then unsheathed his sword from its scabbard and point the tip on the ground as he furrowed his brows while waiting for what''s coming. Howl! An ear-splitting howl filled the surroundings as the monster showed its appearance. It''s a 1.5 meter tall, 2-meters length gray-wolf. [Gray Wolf Lv. 5] HP: 2500/2500 ''Just a gray wolf?'' Kim Shin thought in disappointment as he didn''t think twice to sprint forward as he swung his constellations devourer into diagonal motion. Slash! Awoo! Kim Shin managed to graze the front-left leg of the wolf, however, that''s it since the monster quickly move to lessen the damage by jumping backward. Awoo! Howling toward Kim Shin, the wolf grit its sharp teeth as it glared to him with its red menacing eyes and was about leap to him once again. However, before he could move, Kim Shin already bolted forward as he swung his sword in horizontal motion from right to left. Slash! Awoo! The wolf yelped in pain as a huge wound appeared on the wolf''s neck, and blood started to gush out. Thud! The wolf couldn''t endure the damage as it kneeled on the ground. Upon seeing this, Kim Shin didn''t let the wolf recover. With a big stride, he lunged his sword to the wolf''s head, impaling it like a barbecue. Puchi! [You''ve defeated the Gray Wolf!] ''Weird. Why there''s a lone gray wolf here in Goblin''s forest?'' Kim Shin thought in puzzlement, as he kneeled down beside its corpse, and was about to dismantle it. But then, he suddenly paused a furrowed his brows. Swish! Closing his eyes, Kim Shin put all his senses to his ears, as he then heard the swift whistling sound at the east direction of his location. Thus, without hesitation, he waved his sword diagonally on his right side. Clang! Crack! A loud sound of collided metal rang out and followed by a breaking sound of wood. Opening his eyes, Kim Shin lowered his head and found the arrow broken in two on the ground. ''Is this intentional?'' Kim Shin wondered as he raised his head and looked at the direction where the arrow came from. However, he couldn''t feel or sense anyone in that direction. Frowning, he then clutched the hilt of his sword as he put his guard to the peak before cautiously walked toward the east of his location. ¡­. A couple of meters away from Kim Shin''s location, a group of two men and two women could be seen running with all their might towards Kim Shin''s direction. And behind them were a number of level 5 goblins and gray wolf. To be precise, the goblins were riding on the back of the gray wolves. "Sh*t! Sh*t! We''re going to die at this rate!" A tanned skin man in a medium weight full armor and longsword on his back cursed in frustration as he ran with all his might as if he''s life is on the line. "Shut up! Keep moving!" A black haired-man in a leather armor, coat, and long steel bow on his back rebut the cursing man. "Why are you ordering me? Isn''t this your fault? If you didn''t get greedy and entered their den, then, we won''t be in this situation." The tanned-man retorted furiously, blaming the black-haired man. "What? If you''re not that weak and could handle a group of three goblins by yourself then, we won''t face this wave of monster." The black-haired man bellowed as he continued running. "Shut up, both of you! You two still get the guts to argue at this kind of situation, huh?" A waist-length black-haired woman in a gray robe, cone hat, and black oak magic staff cried out in irritation. "Just run! You could argue later after we survive this." But then, the shoulder-length black-haired woman in a white robe and iron staff suddenly tripped and fell on the ground. "Urgh!" "Michelle!" The long black-haired woman shouted in worry as she stopped moving. "Don''t worry about me guys. Go, run!" The woman in white-robe replied with a kind smile on her face. "W-What are you talking about¡ª" "Just go!!!" The woman in white-robe shouted as her friend was about to help her. "You two, please, help Michelle." The woman in black robe pleaded the two men with teary eyes. However, her expectations immediately crumbled when she heard their answers. "Tch. It''s her fault for being clumsy. I don''t want to die yet!" "I''m leaving!" "You two¡ª" "Don''t worry about me, Mika. Save yourself!" Her friend, Michelle, once again cried out. Sob! Sob! "M-Michelle¡­" Mika murmured as tears streamed down of her eyes. ''God, I will do anything. Just please save my best friend.'' Mika prayed in her mind as she watched her best friend who was about to die in the hands of the number of goblins. However, as if a God heard her pray, a powerful explosion suddenly exploded out, blocking the path of the wave of monster. 109 Goblins Den - II "Don''t worry about me, Mika. Save yourself!" Her friend, Michelle, once again cried out. Sob! Sob! "M-Michelle¡­" Mika murmured as tears streamed down on her face. ''God, I will do anything. Just please save my best friend.'' Mika prayed in her mind as she watched her best friend who was about to die in the hands of the number of goblins. However, as if a god heard her pray, a powerful explosion suddenly exploded out, blocking the path of the wave of monster. ''W-What''s happening?!'' Mika held her gray cone hat with her right hand as she defends herself with her left hand which is holding her staff while keeping her balance. The two men also stopped at their feet when they heard the powerful explosion as they heard the agonizing scream of the goblins and gray wolves. Looking behind them, they found a huge fire and smoke, burning the monsters alive. "What in the world is happening?!" The man with a longsword on his back muttered with a flabbergasted expression. "Don''t ask me that. I don''t even know myself!" The man with a steel bow answered with the same expression. While they are staring in shock, Mika was jolted back to her senses as she cried out with a worried expression. "Michelle!!!" "MICHELLE!!!" Mike screamed out once again. However, there''s no response at all as, she also could not find Michelle. Thus, she started to become anxious while thinking that maybe Michelle was caught up by the powerful explosion. ''N-No, Michelle is alright!'' Mika thought as she shook her head and slowly walked forward with determined eyes to search her best friend. Upon seeing this, the two men behind her were momentarily stunned as they clicked their tongue at the same time, before running and stopped her from going. "What are you doing? Are you insane?!"

Mika shouted when she saw the man with a steel bow who''s trying to stop her. Attempting to pull her right arm off Vince, a rough and strong hands suddenly held her other arm. "Michelle is gone. You''re going to kill yourself!" The man with a longsword on his back spoke with a loud voice as he clasped the flinging arm of Mika. "You too, Bryan. Let go of my hand!" Mika demanded as she forcefully pulled her arms. Upon seeing this, Bryan couldn''t stop himself from grumbling in frustration. "Argh! You''re mad!" "We need to go now! Mika, come on!" Vince spoke while looking at the big fire, as he felt the increase in the temperature. Beads of sweat streamed down on his face. "No, I''m not going without Michelle!" Mika exclaimed without an ounce of hesitation as she starts to advance. "Argh!" Bryan growled as he held his head in frustration. But then, his eyes locked with Vince as he saw him nodding his head. At first, he was confused about Vince''s meaning. However, it didn''t take long as he realized what''s his indicating. Thus, without hesitation, he kneeled his left knee on the ground and put Mika on her shoulder with a growl. "Graaaaa¡­" "W-Woah! Put me down, Bryan!" Mika demanded while kicking her feet. "Forgive me, Mika, but we''re leaving now!" Vince took the lead to apologized as he nodded his head to Bryan before he leads the way. "No!!! I''m going to find Michelle!" BOOOM!!! Another deafening explosion exploded out as the quaking voices of the monsters reverberated in the forest. It was followed by a whooshing sound as a human figure pierced out of the cloud of smoke, arriving behind the escaping Mika''s group. Thud! The human figure suddenly fell its knees on the ground. It''s a black-haired man in an azure knight armor with a white-robe woman on his shoulder. It''s Michelle. "Who would think that I would save a cute girl in my lifetime¡­" The man muttered under his breath while looking at Michelle''s round face. Cough! Cough! ''Damn, it seems like I overestimated myself this time!'' The man thought in helplessness as he brushed off the blood that streamed out of the corner of his lips. "MICHELLE!!!" An ear-splitting yell rang out as the man raised his head with furrow brows. Looking in the distance, he saw a well-shaped woman in black-robe running towards his location. ''Ah! This girl''s teammate!'' The man exclaimed in his mind as he realized that this girl is not alone. However, realization also hit him when he heard the screaming voices of the monsters behind him. ''Sh*t! It''s not the right time to be dazed!'' Forcing himself to stood up, the man began to run with all the strength he could muster, Michelle on his shoulder as he then shouted. "Don''t come! Go, escape! Run to the other direction. I will follow you!" Upon hearing the man''s voice, Mika was stunned of a millisecond as she turned around and ran with full speed. Whoosh! Awoo! Graaa! Furious voices of the monsters rang behind them. *** Furrowing his brows, Kim Shin saw the horde of goblins along with gray wolves as he questioned himself. ''What''s happening here?'' The monsters were running toward his opposite direction, seemingly chasing someone with furious expressions. He doesn''t have any sliver of idea on the situation. Fwoosh! Out of nowhere, a wooden arrow swiftly toward his direction which he reflexively deflect. It didn''t stop there, few more arrows rain on him. Clang! Clang! Clang! After fending of the arrows, he saw that some of the monsters behind were sprinting toward his direction. They discovered him. Well, to be precise, the wolves discovered him. Since, their senses are keen compared to goblins. Twenty or more pair of goblins and wolves are coming to him. He doesn''t know what''s happening but he knew that maybe something big is happening. ''Or did someone already discovered the Goblins lair?!'' However, he immediately shook his head, clearing that thought. Since it would be impossible, it''s too early to be discovered. After shooking his head, he firmly gripped the hilt of his sword as he glared like dagger to the incoming monsters. ''This is enough experience points to level!'' Kim Shin grinned with that thought as he dashed straight. [You''ve leveled up!] After ten minutes of battle, or maybe massacre, Kim Shin eventually leveled up after killing all of them. Phew~ As he dismantled the corpses of the monsters, he found different footprints on the ground. It wasn''t a monster''s footprints. It was Mika''s group footprints. Frowning, he couldn''t help but wonder who are the people that the horde of monsters chasing. ''Nevermind, I should quickly raise my level.

Phew~ As he dismantled the corpses of the monsters, he found different footprints on the ground. It wasn''t a monster''s footprints. It was Mika''s group''s footprints. Frowning, he couldn''t help but wonder who are the people that the horde of monsters chasing. ''Nevermind, I should quickly raise my level. I know that the boar fangs brotherhood won''t stop ''til I die.'' *** Rumble! Rumble! A sound of rumbling ground reverberated in the distance as if a swarm of monsters were running around. Rumble! Rumble! "W-What happening this time?!" "Sh*t. Don''t ask me!" The people who were eagerly looking for Kim Shin''s whereabout abruptly stopped what their doing as they raised their head and looked in the distance where''s the source of the rumbling sound. Rumble! Rumble! The sound gradually gets louder as they finally heard it the continuous footsteps along with the cries of the goblins and growls of gray wolves. Awoo! Graa¡­ "What is that?!" "Come on men! I said, don''t ask me. I don''t have any idea too." Contrary to those confused crowd, Vale who hasn''t moved of his location frowned, as he looked in the distance, beside him is his loyal aide, Phil. "Phil¡­" Vale called out as he kept staring ahead. "Yes, master?" Phil answered swiftly while calmly kneeling on the ground, refraining himself from looking at the source of the sound. "Go and check what''s happening there. I want your report immediately." "Affirmative!" Phil responded instantly as he suddenly vanished into thin air. Still looking in the distance, Vale squinted his eyes, as he spoke to the fully geared men behind him without looking. "Half of you stay here and the other half look for Kim Shin. Go!" "Roger!" "Affirmative!" "Yes, sir!" "Yes, master!" Four of the eight core members of his guild immediately hurried on their way after his command. "Master, what do you need for us?" An approximately 6''6 tall man in a full heavy armor, great shield on the ground before him, and greatsword on his back asked Vale respectfully. Behind him is a brown-haired good-looking man in a long gray robe and wizard hat. "You are such a musculebrain, Juno! Of course, our master knew that it''s overestimation to send us all for a lone weakling." A pale-skin, shoulder-length green-haired man, on the right side behind Vale, which is opposite side of Juno, wearing a black fitted armor spoke with a hint of mocking tone in his voice. Behind him is a green short-haired, pale-brown skin man, wearing a long brown coat under a silver-colored breastplate armor, and seem like a long sword on the left side of his waist.

Juno took Kier''s answer as he scratched the back of his helmet with a stupid smile on his face. "Fool¡­" "Idiot¡­" The men behind Juno and Kier spat covertly when they saw the stupid action of Juno. "Ha? What did you say, Kier?!" Juno bellowed as he demanded while glaring at the dumbfounded Kier. "What are you talking about? It wasn''t me. It''s Marky and Jason." Kier retorted as he pointed the green-haired man behind him first. "What? Are his words true?!" Juno then asked with glaring daggers to Marky and Jason, which they immediately shook their head in disagreement. "What you two?" Kier was astonished at their quick response. These two had him once again. Since, Juno was easy to believe in anyone''s words. "KIER!!!" Juno bellowed furiously as he was about to grab Kier''s neck. Alas, before he could manage to do it, Vale''s furious voice buzzed their ears. "SHUT UP, YOU FOUR IDIOTS!" His voice reverberated kilometers away, which clearly heard by the crowd in the distance. Shua! Then, out of nowhere, Phil suddenly appeared before Vale, already kneeling on the ground. "Reporting to master¡­" "Go ahead!" "It''s a horde of goblins and gray wolves¡­" "How many?" "Approximately 500 pairs, master." "Hmm¡­ It''s quite a lot huh. Do you know the reason why they are heading here?" Vale inquired in curiosity as he rubbed his chin. "About that, I discovered that they are chasing a party of 5, 3 men and 2 women." Phil answered as he then continued. "What''s your command, master?" "How long before they reached the town?" Instead of answering, Vale questioned once again. "It won''t take long before they arrive here, base on my calculation, it would take less than 3 minutes." Phil answered smoothly as he looked in the distance. "Alright, assemble all the guild members, even those slaves. Get them! We''re raiding a new dungeon." "Huh?" Upon hearing Vale''s words, the stupid Juno exclaimed in confusion. "Hmm. What''s wrong, Juno?" Kier asked when he saw Juno''s stupid reaction. "What did the master''s mean about new dungeon? Aren''t we going to slay this horde of monster?" Juno responded, still wearing a puzzled expression. "Fool. Use your mind, where do you think these monsters came from?" Phil took the lead to questioned the idiot Juno. "From the forest?" "Well, you''re technically right. However, what master means is, there''s a high possibility that there''s a dungeon in the forest, or maybe lair of these monsters." "Ah! Hehehe. Master is really wise." Afterwards, the horde of monsters finally could be notice in the distance. Rumble! Rumble! "Sh*t. There''s so many of them." "Do we really need to fight those monsters?" "We don''t have any choice, we took the blood oath after the brotherhood saved us." "But, we''re just a slave to them!" "Sigh. We could only blame our fate." "Damn!" The two-men wearing a long white robe argued as they anxiously looking in the incoming horde of monsters. They are just a small part of the hundred slaves of the boar fangs brotherhood. They will force them to take a blood oath, payment for saving their lives. In the frontline, Vale and Phil, behind the two are the four idiots, which are supported by 50 regular members of the brotherhood. It was followed by approximately 300 more people, wearing a different kind of low-quality equipments. They all wore a solemn expression, as then a loud yell broke the silence. "HELP! Please help us!" Mika, at first was surprised by the crowd before the town. However, fear already filled her consciousness, as she didn''t think twice to call for help anymore. As though her voice is the cue, a flurry of arrows and fireballs rained down on the monsters chasing behind them. BOOOM!!! BOOOM!!! BOOOM!!! Awoo! Graaaaaa¡­ "Continue firing!" 111 Goblins Den - IV 2:30 in the afternoon. Bam!!! Whoosh! In the middle of a dense forest, a reverberating sound could be heard occasionally. It was followed by faint trembling of the ground as the tall trees reeled by it. Every time the sound occurred, agonizing cries of an unidentified creature echoed around in the forest, as though some evil creature was enthusiastically enjoying its meal. Guaghk!... [You''ve defeated the Goblin Keeper!] As the system notified him, the level 7 goblin keeper''s corpse slowly fell on the ground with a thud. It has a long horizontally wound on its belly, showing it''s slimy green fresh blood along with its gushing organ. It has almost the same appearance of a goblin merely, the difference in height, which had a height of 2-meters tall. Other than that, it''s wearing a leather chest armor, common grade club and loincloth around its private part. Normally, goblins simply wear crude items. Kneeling down before the corpse, Kim Shin reached out his right hand, and immediately dismantled it. Then, as the corpse disintegrated into thin air, the system''s voice instantly rang in his mind. Ding! [You''ve obtained Goblin Keeper''s Skin x3] [You''ve obtained Basic Health Potion x1] [You''ve obtained Goblin Keeper''s Fine Club] [You''ve obtained a Key] ''Got ya!'' Kim Shin couldn''t stop himself from exclaiming in his mind when he heard the mechanical female voice of the system''s last word. Opening his inventory, he immediately looked at the details of the final item. [Key] Grade: Special Details: [ A special key necessary to open one of the dungeons where the Goblin King hid his artifacts ] This is the item, Kim Shin was searching, and hoping to obtain the first time he arrived in the Cavethy Town. Except in his intention to raise his level, this item was a goal in his mind. This key was previously obtained by a simple individual or let''s say one of the boar fangs brotherhood slaves. Discovering this item, that individual tried to negotiate with brotherhood. He will hand the key if the brotherhood hand back his freedom and his family. That person was apparently certain that, the brotherhood has no choice but, to comply with his demand. However, contrary to his expectation, the brotherhood used an underhanded method to let him hand the key willingly to them. And I think you could already guess what happened. Thus, after obtaining the key, the brotherhood used all their resources just to find the dungeon. Despite that, they couldn''t find it until they met a disaster, the guild was utterly defeated. They were annihilated. And that was the day Kim Shin got his freedom back. Then, after that, the key was obtained by the guild who destroyed the brotherhood. Then, later the guild eventually discovered the dungeon, and that guild instantly raised from rankings. Hence, without even knowing why a low-level monster had it, and the things inside that dungeon, Kim Shin didn''t think twice to search the item. Now, his problem was the whereabouts of the dungeon. Although he already has a clue, it''s not the perfect time to look for it. He needs to be stronger without relying on items. Thus, fighting powerful enemies and obtaining experience is his primary goal. Since, he knew that it''s impossible to achieve his goal by relying on items. Therefore, he must raised his level first. Click! Closing his inventory, Kim Shin then looked around his surroundings. The place was devastated, broken trees on the ground, crater, goblins, gray wolves corpses. The scene was akin to a terrorist massacre, as though an evil creature had fun, and killed everybody in his sight. "It seems I overdo it again¡­" He mumbled subtly as he recalled the horde of monsters earlier. He doesn''t have a bit of an idea about that horde. The plausible reason by that is, he''s already late when he arrived in the town back then. The brotherhood must be already cleared the horde for ages before they found them in the yggdramereans village. However, it was different in this lifetime. He arrived in the cavethy town ahead of time compared before and witnessed the event he didn''t saw back then. Therefore, with that in mind, and curiosity about the reason behind the horde. Kim Shin trace where the horde primary situated. Whoosh! *** Bam!!! Fwoosh!!! Booom!!! Various skills were rain down on the last pair of goblin and gray wolf. "Yeah! We did it!" "Haha. I actually leveled up twice!" "That''s nice. I leveled up once. Then, we''re on the same level now." "Haha. This isn''t the right time to talk with each other. Let''s dismantle and get our loot." By that man''s words, the people who heard him hurriedly dismantled the corpse nearest to them. And upon seeing it, the other people who hasn''t yet had enough of celebrating were momentarily stunned as they scampered and pushed the people away of the corpse. "Get your f*cking a*ss out of my loot!" "Huh? Is this your kill?" "I said, f*ck off!" "What are you doing, you bastard?" "F*ck. I will kill whoever came near my loots!" "Show me, you arrogant c*nt!" The people voices and curses could be heard as fight eventually erupt. Vale who was gazing down on the fight riding behind his gray wolf, couldn''t stop grinning to himself. Upon seeing this, Phil who''s right beside Vale, couldn''t refrain himself from asking with a tone filled with curiosity. "What are you thinking Master? Aren''t we going to stop them from looting them?" "Why are we doing that? Let them be. It''s no use to us. Sooner or later, they will willingly hand those items to us. Haha!" Vale answered as he laughed out loud before lightly kicking his gray wolf. Awoo! The wolf didn''t need any word from Vale as it began to run. "All of you! Follow behind me. We''re going to trace the path of the horde taken." Vale''s voice resounded as the members of the brotherhood didn''t hesitate to followed behind, along with the hundreds of brotherhood''s slaves. Rumble! Rumble! "Hey, guys. Look! The boar fangs brotherhood were leaving. Should we follow them?" One of the people who were busy fighting with each other, discovered the brotherhood''s unconcealed movement couldn''t help but question the crowd. "Yes, it suspicious. Let''s follow them!" "Hey, wait! What about the loot?" "You can have them if you want. I''m going to follow the brotherhood," Upon seeing the action of some of the crowd, Phil immediately asked his master, Vale. "Master, there are people following behind us, what should we do?" "Let them do what they want. They might be useful later¡­" Vale answered as he smiled ear to ear when he heard the question of Phil inside his mind. *** Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Rustle~ ''A goblin village?'' Kim Shin wondered as he kneeled his right knee on the ground while looking ahead of him. Hiding behind the bush and covertly looking, he could see the approximately 2.5-meters tall wooden palisade fence with two outposts in both sides, guarded by goblin armed with a crude bow. ''It''s guarded? Sentry?'' He found the village suspicious, since when goblins become this organized? They supposedly act on their own accord, in their own insctincts. He doesn''t have any idea about this. Why are they like this? ''Don''t tell me that I''d stumble up in a high-level village? But, that''s impossible! Nevermind. I will know it later after I saw it with my own eyes.'' He decided to see what''s inside the suspicious village. This what he came for so, why should he hesitate to find what''s inside? Looking at the two guarded outposts, he saw the sentry on the right outpost is seemingly daze, looking in a certain direction inside the village as though it wanted to go down there but he cannot for some reason. After calculating the distance for a second, Kim Shin then hurriedly bolted out from his spot, he needs to get closer, but then, the goblin in the left outpost sense the fast-moving Kim Shin as it immediately turned its head to look. However, he found nothing and stared in the spot where Kim Shin vanished with confused expression before turning back again on its work. Slash! Guagh¡­ [You''ve defeated the Goblin Sentry!] The system notified him immediately after he cut the neck of the goblin from behind as he lightly put the corpse down while covertly crouching inside the outpost. His blink skill is extremely useful at this kind of sneak attack. ''Goblins cave? A den? What is that?!'' Kim Shin wondered as he peeked out his head and saw the number of goblins scattering around before a massive cave. The goblins are acting like humans, they doing manual labor, like building a straw hut, and creating crude items, as he could hear the hammering of metal. There''s already a lot of them outside. He couldn''t stop himself from wondering. How many monsters still hiding inside the massive cave? ''Why are they so oriented?'' Wandering his eyes around, he couldn''t stop furrowed his brows when he saw a disgusting scene in the distance. "Ugh, no. Please, stop doing this to me!" "Just kill me!" "Guaaaa¡­" 112 Entering The Cave ''Why are they so oriented?'' He wondered as he felt the village became even more suspicious. Wandering his eyes around, he couldn''t stop furrowed his brows when he saw a disgusting scene in the distance. "Ugh, no. Please, stop doing this to me!" "Just kill me!" "Guaaaa¡­" In the western-north part of the village, which is the corner of the village, and near the cave which is like a mountain, or canyon. He discovered a group of naked goblins before a huge tree, surrounds a naked black-haired woman who was seemingly begging for death. They doing a disgusting scene in a broad daylight, gangbanging a powerless woman, as her stomach got bloated as though filled with white stuff, and eventually fainted. ''Goblins are still goblins¡­'' Kim Shin remarked in his mind as he felt disgusted for comparing them to humans. Lowering his head, he starts making plans what to do next. He''s curious about what inside the cave. However, he couldn''t just blatantly enter the cave with so many goblins wandering around. Especially, he won''t leave this place without ending the life of those beasts who were defiling the broken woman. Then, after making a decision, Kim Shin reached out his hand on the corpse and silently activated his soul cleave. Fwoosh! [You''ve successfully obtained 0.01 to all attributes!] ''Face of death!'' With that command in his mind, white smoke leaked out of his body, as though water was poured in a boiling oil as his appearance immediately change, he became smaller, his equipment gone, and he became naked green skin creature with a bow behind him. ''This is kinda weird¡­'' He thought as he carefully observed his current appearance. Then, with this perfect disguise, Kim Shin calmly climb down of the outpost after drinking a basic magic potion. Although he was questioned or shouted by the goblin in the other outpost, he continued climbing down. Though he changed his appearance, it doesn''t mean he could understand their language, unless he has a goblin language. Hence, ignoring them is the best solution he could make. ''Hoh!'' He breathed out heavily after he climbed down. Now that he''s on the ground, he suddenly felt that the village was quite big compared to looking from the higher position. It looked like small from the outpost. Unemotionally walking forward like a human being, Kim Shin unconsciously caught the attention of the goblins wandering around him, as though he''s an animal circus. Upon sensing their eyes on him, Kim Shin couldn''t help but asked in his mind. ''What are you looking at?! Haven''t seen a handsome goblin like me?'' Though he asked that, he''s actually nervous by their sudden attention on him. What''s wrong with them? Why are they looking at me? Am I busted? He wondered.

But then, it didn''t take long as they get off their eyes on him as he heaved a sighed in relief internally. Thus, without eyes that looking at him, he immediately sprinted towards the group of goblins who''re still ravishing the woman. ''Accelerator!'' Without any hesitation, Kim Shin activated his speed booster as he penetrated their hearts in almost a blink of an eye. Thud! [You''ve defeated the Goblin!] [You''ve defeated the Goblin!] [¡­] Six consecutive system''s notification rang in his ears, as the group of goblins fell on the ground at the same time. ''You guys are lucky that I don''t have enough of time, or else you beasts won''t easily die like this.'' He regretted that he''s short on time, as he didn''t give them the pain, and the suffering the woman went through. Walking towards the woman who was constraint with iron chains on the large tree, Kim Shin was about to cut the chains, however. The woman suddenly woke up as she mumbled. "Pl-Please, I had enough. I''m begging you, just kill me." Upon hearing it, Kim Shin couldn''t help but felt gloomy at the woman''s begging voice. He knew that all the woman who has been defiled for uncountable of times by goblins only desire to end their suffering. "Is that what you want?" He responded which didn''t surprise the woman as though she was talking with a person who can give what she''s been yearning. "Yes, please, kill me." "Why don''t you want to live anymore?" "I can''t live anymore. I don''t want to live like this." "I understand, but how about your family? Maybe, there''s waiting for you?" "I only have my husband and I know he''s strong enough to survive even without me." Upon hearing her answer, Kim Shin couldn''t help but sympathize with the woman''s unfortunate fate. He also had a wife, imagining if his wife in this woman''s position, he doesn''t know what to feel. Though he doesn''t want the woman to give up, he''s not in the right position to tell her what to do. Thus, without any choice, as he couldn''t force the woman to live, he could only respond his sympathy. "I understand¡­" He then firmly grasped the hilt of his sword as he raised it before the woman''s chest, and he spoke softly. "I wish you a better fate in your next life." With her eyes close, the woman faintly responded. "Thank you¡­ Thank you for letting me go of my suffering¡­" Puchi! Kim Shin directly penetrated the woman''s chest through her heart after she spoke. "Farewell. I hope your next life is the opposite of this lifetime." He muttered under his breath while staring at the peaceful expression of the woman who had tears in her eyes. ''I also hope to lessen the grievance of your loved ones. However, I couldn''t use my soul cleave for the time being.'' With this reason, Kim Shin reverted back to his human form, bought a white blanket in the shop, and put on the woman''s corpse before he hid it in the corner. In the dark shade of the tree, behind the bushes. ''Forgive me for not giving you a proper burial for the time being.'' ''I vow that I won''t leave this place after destroying every one of them!'' He thought as he turned around and activated his face of death, turning back to goblin''s form after leaving his words to the woman''s corpse. Then, he looked around him, observing the busy goblins, and carefully sneaked in the massive cave which isn''t guarded by anyone. Ding! 113 Goblins Town ''I vow that I won''t leave this place after destroying every one of them!'' He thought as he turned around and activated his face of death, turning back to goblin''s form after leaving his words to the woman''s corpse. Then, he looked around him, observing the busy goblins, and carefully sneaked in the massive cave which isn''t guarded by anyone. Ding! < You''ve entered the Goblin''s Lair! > The system''s woman-like mechanical voice rang in his ears as he stepped inside the cave. Entering the cave, Kim Shin felt an eerie feeling when he saw the dimly lit massive tunnel that seems void of life, as a sound of dripping water could be occasionally heard deep in the cave. Fortunately, there''s a number of torch on the wall. Therefore, he isn''t obstructed by the dark, as he discovered the dozens of feet ceiling of the tunnel. The scenery is dank gloomy as though a single misstep will end to his deathbed. Then, after observing the surroundings for a moment, he began to move forward carefully, as his footsteps echoed around. Although he''s in goblin form, he''s uncertain if there''s a mechanism here that can discover his disguise. Thus, taking extra caution won''t kill him. While walking, he realized that the ground is quite smooth for a cave that usually had a rough surface. While the wall, on the other hand, is a bit craggy. Shua! An aquamarine map interface appeared on the left side of his vision after he summoned it. Looking at the map, although all the places he has been through the only cartographed on the map, Kim Shin could discern that the tunnel would go for a few more minutes. And then, after a few minutes as the route just turned left, he discovered a pair of green goblins holding a crude throwing tomahawks, as though they are on their way outside. The pair of goblins didn''t even look at him as they passed. ''Normal goblin won''t be able to uncover my disguise!'' He thought as he proceeds forward, without looking back at the pair of goblins. After that, a few more minutes passed as he ran across a couple of goblins before he eventually heard the chattering, and gawking noises of the goblins in the distance. Hence, without wasting more time, Kim Shin increased his pace as he then arrived at the wide circle-flat surface where a goblins town situated. He was utterly dumbfounded at the scene of the goblins working left and right. Their numbers are uncountable. Probably, more than five thousand, he''s not sure at all. Staring ahead, Kim Shin calmly walked forward, filled with determination in his eyes. Arriving in the front of the Town''s gate, Kim Shin was stopped by the two Level 10 red hobgoblins, clad in breastplate armor, and armed with a broadsword. "Guaghk?" The hobgoblin in his right asked in an inaudible voice that perplexed him. He couldn''t understand what the hobgoblin''s saying. Are they asking for an entry permit? He doesn''t have any slightest idea. Is this the time to fall back for now? No, I can''t go back now. "Guagrh?!" The hobgoblin raised its voice as it slowly walked toward the cautious Kim Shin whose preparing to attack at any moment. But then, as he was about to move, the hobgoblin took his wooden bow, and immediately backed away as he was about to punch it. "Graaugh?!Guaa¡­" (Do you need to be so violent? I just want to take your weapon.) After that, the hobgoblins did not stop him anymore as he entered the town. It was immediately followed by a series of system notifications. < You''re the first to discover the Goblin''s Mine Town! > < You''ve been awarded 1 Free Stat Point! > < Your stats increased by 20% for 60 minutes! > < You''ve learned Goblins Language for 60 minutes! > Aside from the system''s prompt, Kim Shin observed his surroundings and discovered the busy working goblins. As though, the town was a night market. Numbers of crude lamppost stood in the side of the town''s street, brightening the cold and dark tunnel. Although it was a town, the houses was still made by goblins, thus, it was a crude wooden hut. "Move your asses! Hurry!" "Come on! We''re on the due date! We need to hurry!" "This is not the time for grumbling! Move, you slowpoke!" Kim Shin was surprised when he understood what they are saying since he hasn''t checked the notifications. With a gaping jaw, he immediately checked and found his rewards. ''Temporary increased in stats and goblins language? This is amazing!'' He exclaimed internally as he looked in his surroundings once again. This time, he is certain that he can understand them thoroughly without difficulty. ''Now, where should I go?'' With this line of thought, Kim Shin remembered the conversations of the goblins who are seems to be in a hurry. He then immediately observed his surroundings, discovering the four goblins far ahead, pulling a wooden cage while arguing with the other goblins. Inside the cage, Kim Shin could discern that it was a monster, maybe an animal type of monster, he''s uncertain since it was covered with green cloth. Thus, without any idea where to start first, Kim Shin decided to follow them. The group of goblins who were pulling the cage did not discover him, as they entered another tunnel on the east direction of the town. At first, the tunnel was narrow, it can only fit a group of 6 adult men standing side by side. However, after a few minutes of traversing the narrow tunnel, Kim Shin discovered himself in another spacious round cave with a huge barn in the middle of it. Kim Shin began to slow his movement, deciding to take a distance, and hide in the dark area, as he waited for the goblins to enter the barn. Fortunately, his immediate decision saved him. The group of goblins scanned their surroundings before they enter the barn. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
