299 Stay Away

Haru looked ahead at the terrified people that belonged to In-ho's group.

"S-Stay back,"

"D-Don't come over,"

"D-Do you think we are a joke?"

The Cheol-du group members started to shout while waving their weapons, but they didn't look intimidating given the scared looks on their faces they could only step back with trembling feet.

"Stay away from me, Stay away from me," In-ho wasn't any good either, he seemed to have had a panic attack as he crawled away with a fear-stricken look.

"Well, I am not attacking you, Hee-won," Haru said while looking back.

"It took you 10 minutes," Hee-won's eyes were red but she still made a snide remark causing Haru to shrug.

"How bout I let you use this as an apology?" Haru took off the katana on his waist and handed it to Hee-won who took it wordlessly.

"Kekeke, Feel the wrath of darkness you phonies," Nam-woon cackled as he ran towards the Cheol-du group with two knives.

"Those two guys from the food gathering group are mine don't touch them," Hee-won said coldly as she moved forward without waiting for an answer from Nam-woon.

"They are all just exp to me, it makes no difference who I kill," Nam-woon laughed with a smirk as black smoke started to rise from his body.

'Now he seems like the Nam-woon I know,' Dok-ja didn't know if he should be relieved or not.

Seeing Hee-won and Nam-woon run towards them with gleaming weapons Cheol-du group gritted their teeth.

"D-Damn it,"

"It is just two of them,"

"Damn it! Crush them!" One of the guys in the front ran and swung his crowbar at Hee-won.

SLASH* THUD*

He was slashed in half alongside the crowbar as Hee-won swung her katana.

"A-Ah," Cheol-du group's people felt terror as they her cut through a few people without batting an eye as her eyes only glowed in a darker shade of red.

But she wasn't the only terrifying one.

"Haha," Nam-woon laughed as he stabbed a guy in the neck with one knife and kept stabbing the guy's head with the other knife. The scene was straight out of a horror film and it sent chills down the people's spines.

"Run," No one knew who screamed but they all tried to run, they didn't know where they'll go but anywhere would be better than facing those two psychos.

"Why are you running? Keke, always wanted to use that line," Nam-woon was having fun as he looked at how they were all scared.

"You're not going anywhere," Hee-won said in a cold tone as she made her way toward the two guys from the food gathering group. She wanted to reach them faster since if they run into the crowd the bystanders will be harmed and it was like she thought.

"U-Use the people," One of the two shouted as they looked at the people who were a little distance away from them.

Hearing them the other people tried to run away but they were too slow as the Cheol-du group caught up to them.

"She won't attack if we hold someone in front of her," The second one said as he grabbed a woman from the crowd holding her in front intending to use her as a meat shield.

'I don't know about Hee-won but Nam-woon doesn't care if you have a hostage or not, he'll kill both,' Dok-ja thought as he looked at Nam-woon slashing through people it didn't matter if they were from Cheol-du group or not.

----------

'As expected from a monster like him, his total stats are higher than mine, and his supporting constellation also seems to like him as he got the starter pack that increases the level on each stat by one while also giving the skill 'Weapon proficiency', also his summary is as disturbing as ever, I hope Haru-ssi best of luck,' Dok-ja finished his thoughts quickly as he saw Haru rub his right ear, well it made sense because of what he had done pretty everyone was thinking about Haru.

"W-What are you doing?" The woman shouted in fear as she saw Hee-won towards them.

"Haru-ssi this is bad, They are using people as shields," Hyun-sung couldn't help but shout in panic, he saw how the other people who had nothing to do with the conflict were pulled into it.

"Hee-won stop!!" Sang-ah also shouted as she broke into a run because Hee-won didn't stop even after seeing the woman who was held in front of her but she swung the katana.

'It might be because of the Demon Slayer skill she has, it does have such a side effect,' Dok-ja looked at Haru trying to figure out what the latter was thinking as he could feel like something was missing. From what he knew, Haru wouldn't allow such a thing to happen but he seemed far too calm in the situation.

'It is like he doesn't care who dies or there is no danger for the people, which one is it?' Dok-ja soon got his answer…

SPLASH*

"Huh," Hyun-sung was dumbfounded as he saw Hee-won cut down the two people in front of her, It wasn't him alone everyone was shocked as they saw two bodies that were bisected fall down to the ground, But unlike the woman who they saw before.

The two people who Hee-won killed were the two men from the food gathering team who tried to rape Do-ah.

Sang-ah also paused since it happened so suddenly she couldn't see the other survivors who were running away from the Cheol-du group anymore as if they had all vanished in smoke.

Sang-ah turned back and saw the people were actually standing near their group looking at what was happening. They were as confused as everyone as to how they reached there, but they were glad they were away from possible death.

"Haru-ssi's ability?" Sang-ah didn't care about what happened as she felt relieved; she understood that at least the bystanders won't be used by the Cheol-du gang.

Although she was averse to violence after hearing the things the Cheol-du group had done she couldn't muster up in her to say that they should be spared.

Such a feeling was very complicated to Sang-ah, in a short few days she had seen more sides of people than she had in her whole life. And it bewildered her.

'How can people be so cruel?' this was all she could ask herself.

Hyun-sung also breathed a sigh of relief, he felt thankful for what Haru had done.

'Another skill? This will take time,' Dok-ja thought while looking at Haru who was staring at the blue panel in front of him.

[The requirement for the evolution of the attribute 'Crouching figure' has been met.]

[Jung Hee-won's Attribute is blossoming.]

[Jung Hee-won's Attribute has blossomed into 'Judge of Evil (Heroic)'.]

[You have contributed greatly to the blossoming of the Attribute, Crouching figure.]

'...All according to the plan,' Haru saw the blue panels stacking in front of his eyes as he looked at Hee-won who seemed to have stopped in her place. Well, she was still glaring at the Cheol-du group but it seemed like she had calmed down a little from her earlier frenzy.

"What you tired already? I'll get all of the exp if you don't move fast," Nam-woon sneered as he reached Hee-won, he was taking his time killing his opponents in order to increase his skill proficiency.

Hee-won looked at the 14 remaining people standing in front of her, These people looked scared as they held their weapons in their hands. They couldn't understand what was happening, no matter where they run, they find themselves in the same place in front of these two.

"Don't even think about it, This is my job," Hee-won spoke as she activated her skill.

[Jung Hee-won has activated the personal skill 'Time of Judgement'.]

[The constellations of the Pure Good Alignment are agreeing with the use of this skill.]

[Activating the skill 'Time of Judgement'.]
