Captain Khrusz

While running, Kim Shin couldn't help but have a thought about the previous fight. 'I didn't get to know Zaharias's level...'

'But... If I based it on the general level of the village's guards, Zaharias's attributes seem like not that great, or maybe, Zaharias didn't invest points on his Constitution and Defense.'

That's the reason Kim Shin could accept for now. Since, he's also surprised to kill Zaharias without so much effort.

'I can't be reckless now. I'm still level 0. It's stupid to fight a battle when you're uncertain of your victory.'

Kim Shin reprimanded himself as he swiftly ran forward, causing the cloak that draped over his shoulder to flapped in the air. As he saw the Village's Gate in the distance and the guards who're anxiously looking for him, Kim Shin eventually slowed down.

"A human? Look, there's a human over there. Maybe, he's the one who caused the trouble to captain!" The guard who immediately discovered Kim Shin loudly informed his fellow guards, as he pointed his index finger at Kim Shin's direction.

Upon hearing the loud yell, the other guards who're close to him, hurriedly looked over where the guard was pointing, and as they saw Kim Shin, the anxiety they felt had instantly vanished.

"Get him!"

"Seize him!"

They shouted without even confirming Kim Shin's identity. They don't care what happened, as long as they can present anyone to their captain.

Fwoosh!

One of the guards threw his spear forcefully as it swiftly flew to Kim Shin. Hence, without ounce of hesitation, he unsheathed his constellations devourer and reflexively strike the spear diagonally, causing a loud sound of collision as it bounced back and pierced on the ground.

You've received +1 energy!

After he parried the spear, instead of running away, Kim Shin decided to advance forward. To the place where village's guards are situated.

"Don't let him escape!"

A flurry of flying spears was raining on him. Fortunately, the road was quite wide. So, predicting the spear's trajection and evading it was not difficult for him.

Slash!

You've dealt 250 damage!

You've received +5 energy!

"Urgh!"

Despite being bombarded by attacks, Kim Shin could still throw a counterattack. Dealing some damage as he ran in a straight direction.

'My energy was finally filled, I could use over-limit now...'

Kim Shin couldn't help but to raise the corner of his mouth with that thought.

You've dealt 250 damage!

Continuously moving, Kim Shin then activated his pseudo dragon body, covering his fist with black dragon scales as he punched one of the guards to its guts.

Boom! Crack~

You've dealt 100 damage!

"Urgh!" The man grimaced in pain as he bolted backward and collide with his fellow guardsmen.

"He have a bloodline?!" One of the guards who's a few yards away from Kim Shin witnessed how his fist had suddenly covered by black scales.

'It couldn't be real! Even our captain doesn't have a bloodline skill!' The guard thought in disbelief as worry riddled his mind, forcing him to took a step backward.

Looking around him, he saw how his fellow guardsmen flew to various directions after being punched and slashed by Kim Shin's sword. 'H-He's a monster! How could he have that kind of prowess despite being a human?!'

Witnessing Kim Shin's ruthless assaults, the guard was eventually devoured by fear. He's afraid of dying.

Well, everyone is afraid of dying.

The feeling of unknown? That gives every sane person a chill on their back. You didn't know what's going to happen after you die.

Is there heaven or hell? No one knows.

Hence, without any hesitation, he immediately sneaked and ran away leaving his fellow guards with the demon's hands. 'I'm sorry guys. Wait for me, I will inform the captain!'

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Multiple spears was raining down on him once again. They threw their spear without taking into consideration of their own allies' well-being.

Squinting his eyes, Kim Shin did a series of movements, backflip, gliding while parrying the incoming raining spears. He executed it without difficulty. As if everything he did was an everyday action, seemingly a stunt on a movie film.

"Thi—s..."

"Surround him, don't be afraid he's alone. There's a lot of us here!"

One of the brave guards shouted at the top of his lungs, discovering that the morality of them was plummeting down. Narrowing his eyes, he then gripped his spear as he scanned his surroundings. 'Where are the reinforcements and the captain?'

Boom! Fwoosh!

"Ughhhhhhh!"

"Urgh!"

The voices of the guards who are groaning in pain reverberated around the village.

Looking around him, Kim Shin discovered a ten or more corpse on the ground, drenching the cobblestone floor with the guardsmen blood.

As he saw this, Kim Shin suddenly frowned, 'It seems like even my emotions had also changed after I reincarnated.'

It's true that he's an experienced person, he already witnessed the desire corruptions of the humanity, along with his discovery about the world's hideousness. However, even back then, he never enjoyed killing people, he was a soft-hearted person, who's always refrained himself from doing something against his principles.

That's why he experienced a ruthless betrayal. He was too naive. However, that's all in the past.

'I won't be a fiend who's killing for fun. But, I will never be a naïve like before, I will kill them without any mercy once they tried to hinder my path!'

Kim Shin's eyes glinted sharply as he subconsciously unleashed his bloodlust, causing a crimson smoke coiling around his body as the four guards around him down to their knee on the ground.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Urghhh. I-I can't breathe..." Uttered by the guard who's gripping his neck with his hands as he desperately gasped for air.

"H-Help..."

"What's happening?" The guard who tried to raised the morale of his team wondered in confusion. He couldn't comprehend the situation since Kim Shin's bloodlust only targeted the people around him. If he's a little bit closer to Kim Shin, he could immediately feel the change in the atmosphere.

'I suppose it's enough. Uncle Jonathan and others are probably on their way now.' Kim Shin thought as he saw the situation. He just needed to distract them for a couple of minutes, now that he achieved it, it's about time for him to escape.

Bam!

"Ughhhh!"

After he punched the guard who coughed a mouthful of blood as it flew dozen of meters backward, Kim Shin decided to leave. However, before he could take a single step, a hurried footsteps reverberated, faintly shooking the ground.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Following the source of the sound, Kim Shin saw a group of village's guards, approximately 50 personnel.

The remaining guards who are confronting Kim Shin looked behind them as they couldn't stop themselves from heaving a sighed of relief when they saw their reinforcements.

"Guys, the reinforcements are here. Stand on your ground, surround him. Don't let him escape, for our brothers who died!"

The same guy screamed out, feeling at ease now.

Kim Shin couldn't stop himself from smirking once he heard the man's words. "HAHA. Catch me if you can!"

He then immediately turned around and about to run.

"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!!!"
