Chapter 45 (1/2)

Chapter 45 – Smash, Charge (8)

“Stay away! You can’t!”

“Talk. I won’t ask twice.”

Covered in blood, I was nearing her.

Literally a bloodbath.

She saw how her subordinates died in front of her.

There was fear in her eyes, fear of someone with absolute power.

“L… Let me live.”

“Who knows about me?”

“I’m just a low end nobody. I’ve never reported to the higher ups directly.”

“You don’t know?”

“Yes. I only work with the money and manpower provided. So please let me live.”

“I don’t think those words are fitting for someone who treats people’s lives like flies.”

“…..”

“Now the little shit that put a dagger in me. The one who left a hole in my stomach. Where is he? If he’s that skilled, there is no way he’d get wiped out with the trash mobs like these. He’s probably in here. Where exactly, though?”

“……”

To my question, Park Hyun answered with silence.

Even at the face of death, huh. I respected her for that.

However.

‘Piercing Sword.’

The skill that attacked at my will flew towards her.

“I said I wouldn’t ask twice you know?”

“AHHH! JIN!”

In a span of a few seconds, her arms and legs had become unrecognizable, cut apart like tattered leather.

I had no plans of doing things slowly today.

Park Hyun tried to heal herself with what little mana she had left.

Her eyes were of someone at the edge of losing their sanity.

Her body trembled as I healed her.

Because I had a lot more questions to ask.

“Jin? The shit’s name is Jin? You reported to Jin about me. Right?”

“C… Correct……”

“And Jin would’ve reported to the higher ups.”

“…..”

“Why did you want to bring me in?”

“It was to make the world as he willed it. For a new utopia.”

“Wanting my power. Was that all?”

“……”

“Where should I rip you apart this time? I’ll ask for the last time. What are you up to?”

“P.. Project…. Underground f-”

It was at that moment.

Her upper body exploded.

Blown apart as if she swallowed a bomb.

Definitely the work of this ‘Jin’.

It was at the moment she was about to reveal important information.

To stop her from talking, he had killed Park Hyun.

From the pool of blood on the ground, a man’s form appeared.

A shadow.

Appearing like smoke, he looked at the remains of Park Hyun’s lower body and spoke.

“Stupid bitch. Can’t do anything right.”

“Are you the one called Jin?”

A man whose face was covered by a black mask.

A red aura covered his body.

Wearing nothing but black clothing, he was like a shadow.

“You’re more amazing than I thought, brat. You have powers beyond my expectations.”

“Don’t talk bullshit and answer me. Are you Jin?”

“Yes.”

“Then listen up. I don’t want to know who you reported to, and or what they’re planning to do. And I don’t care what you are trying to do either. But know this. If you get in my way, you won’t be able to avoid a dog’s death. Understand?”

“Ku. Funny.”

“You think I’m joking?”

Countless swords flew out.

With pinpoint accuracy, they all pierced his body.

But he didn’t respond or move in the slightest.

Banwol Jincheon had surely went through all over his body.

However not a single drop of blood spilled.

Almost like attacking smoke without form, only black haze rose.

After countless attacks, his laughter echoed.

“Kuhahahahahaha.”

Towards the sound of his laughter, I turned my head.

His form had multiplied to nearly a hundred and was filling up my view.

Both Piercing Sword and Gravity Laser could not hit him.

He wasn’t just your average trash mob.

An attack that went through 3 of my level 100 shields in one go.

And even after going through them all, still causing me a lethal injury.

I knew he used assassination attacks, but he still went past my expectations.

I stopped flailing about with my skills.

Instantly, he appeared before me and spoke.

“Endless mana. With such powers, why do you not dream bigger.”

“Big dreams? Are you telling me to conquer the world?”

“With such potential you provide… With them, it wouldn’t be impossible.”

“That kind of a childish dream. You can dream all you want, just don’t mess with me or those around me.”

“That’s all, you say.”

“Answer me.”

“Pft. I don’t like complex plans that people like Park Hyun comes up with too. But you seem to have lots of uses. We’ll meet again, brat.”

“The moment I see you, you’re dead.”

I was in the middle of casting Iceberg, but Jin had already left a sarcastic smile and faded into the shadows.

The 12th underground floor.

The battleground was filled with weapons without owners and the stench of blood.

I used Eye of the Storm to gather what was left and used Fire Shock.

I couldn’t leave any evidence.

All the gear they left behind. I was sure there were some that would fetch incredible prices.

But I didn’t want to mess with any of them.

I hurried to the elevator.

I had to go to the central command center to get rid of all the evidence I was here.

But before that I had to go somewhere.

The words she spoke before dying, I had become curious about them.

Just what were they up to.
