Dropped. Don't read this. *** Various monsters came out from mysterious gates that appeared all over the world. Along with this incident, humans also gained power and were called hunters. Radmilo Laiv is a hunter with the power to control time. He spent his life serving the world government and becoming a hero. However, he was killed because his power was considered a threat to the government. It was a stroke of luck that Radmilo could return to the past because of his powers. In this life, he doesn’t want to be a hero anymore. Should he play the evil role and become a villain? *** The cover is mine, commissioned by @erminea_ on IG 暂停。
[Skill 1 <Speed Up> has been used!]
[Select a target to be affected by <Speed Up>]
"Radmilo," he answered quickly, "Radmilo Laiv."
[The <Speed Up> skill has been used on the target; Radmilo Laiv]
Right after that, Radmilo took a stance and moved his feet. The <Speed Up> skill was successfully used because he was running fast.
"What an incredible power," Radmilo muttered a few times, praising his skill.
When Radmilo first awakened, he did not understand how to use his power, so he was considered useless by others.
Radmilo thought that <Speed Up> was a weak skill because it could only speed up time. At that time, he did not know if the skill could speed up human movement time, too.
After knowing this, Radmilo continued to practice and develop his abilities. In the end, he became a hunter with extraordinary speed and strength.
Within seconds, Radmilo arrived behind Gordan and the other hunters. Nonetheless, they did not seem to notice his arrival.
"Deactivate skill one," Radmilo ordered as he walked up to them.
[Skill 1 <Speed Up> has been successfully deactivated]
Then Radmilo walked over to the female hunter, who had lost her sword. He tapped the woman's shoulder and told, "Here's your sword. I've found it."
Everyone looked around with shocked faces, as if they had just seen a ghost. It was natural if their reactions were like that. They were sure did not hear footsteps, but Radmilo was suddenly in front of them with a sword in his hand.
"O-oh, my sword is back."
The woman mumbled in a shaking voice. She was about to take her weapon, but Radmilo unexpectedly held the sword.
"I see your hands and feet are still functioning nicely," said Radmilo, making everyone frown in confusion. "Then why did you tell me to take your sword when you can?"
The woman glanced at Gordan, who looked confused as well. Then she replied, "That's because you must be responsible for our weapons. You will be paid, and there is no need to complain about this."
"Is that so? But unfortunately, today I didn't come to help you."
After saying that, Radmilo raised the sword and pointed it at the woman in front of him. More precisely, he separated a pair of hands from the woman.
"Argh, what are you doing? M-my hand!"
The incident happened so fast that everyone could do nothing. Even they still thought what was happening now was an illusion.
It was an impossibility if Radmilo could use a sword. The man was just an immigrant who never awakened or held any weapon.
Radmilo in their memory was a weak immigrant who did not dare to fight back, let alone point a sword at someone. Regardless, today they saw that the weak Radmilo had cut off a woman's hand.
Where did the man get this courage from?
No, that was not the question.
How can Radmilo lift a sword that was specially designed for hunters?
It was a sword with a weight that an ordinary human could not lift. If Radmilo could lift the sword, then he was an awakener. But everyone who experienced an awakening would be directly registered on the government data, and Radmilo was not on that list.
It was clear that the man had recently become an awakener. That was the most reasonable conclusion. Still, it seemed that Gordan and the other hunters did not have time to bring out any other conclusions since the situation had changed.
"Well, Miss Alice. Now I can forgive you for requesting me to get your sword. I can understand that your hand is not okay," Radmilo affirmed without grief in every sentence he said.
The man did not have normal feelings and made everyone careful. After all, they did not know about Radmilo's power yet.
Gordan, who could not stand his anger, immediately shouted, "You ungrateful human! Even though we were kind enough to hire you. Why did you do such a bad thing to Alice?"
Radmilo looked at Gordan with a mocking smile and answered, "Why did I do this to Alice? Haha, how funny you are! No one plans a murder out loud, Gordan."
Now the sword in Radmilo's hand had pierced Alice's chest. The woman instantly fell to the ground as the tip of the sword hit her heart.
"C-crazy bastard! Just wait, because I will destroy your arrogance. You think you can rule the world just by being an awakener?" screamed Gordan, running to give the attack.
Nevertheless, Radmilo oversaw to get out of Gordan's punch easily. He had known about Gordan, so he recognized what his power was. Gordan was a hunter who had a deadly punch.
When someone was hit by that punch, their endurance would decrease drastically. In his previous life, Radmilo was very anxious about Gordan's punches. However, now he could dodge the punch without using his skills at all.
"You're right, Gordan. I will rule the world with my power. It's sad because you guys can't see that happen," asserted Radmilo, preparing to use his skill.
Radmilo was not the type of person who like to torture others just for the sake of satisfaction. He considered his time too valuable to play with other people. Therefore, he decided to directly kill Gordan in one strike.
"Any last words before I finish you?" asked Radmilo with a mocking smile.
However, Gordan still assumed that the person in front of him was the same person who had become his punching bag. It would not be a big deal if Radmilo had an awakening. A newbie awakener could not possibly beat him that easily.
Gordan had an earlier awakening, so he had more experience than Radmilo. Moreover, the test to become a hunter was difficult. Awakeners must undergo a rigorous training before gaining confidence as hunters.
"You're so snobbish. I haven't put all my strength into my punch if you don't know," said Gordan, while concentrating all his strength on his punch.
Everyone in the dungeon instantly felt relieved. They were no longer worried about Radmilo, who had become an awakener. Gordan's punch could destroy a mountain when he mustered all his strength. Just imagine what could happen if a human received the punch.
It was clear that Gordan's punch this time could destroy Radmilo's body so that people could no longer recognize him. They firmly believed that Radmilo did not have a strong resistance because he had just become an awakener.
"The table has turned, Radmilo," one of them said as he treated Alice. He was Tyler, someone who would become one of the strongest healers in the future.
Radmilo remembered Tyler became a member of the Phantom guild and took part in his assassination. In his previous life, he purposely did not kill Tyler because he wanted to take advantage of his healing powers. However, he was determined to make today the day Tyler died.
"I'm sorry that I won't die as you wish. After Gordan dies, it's your turn," said Radmilo, making Tyler growl in annoyance.
He ignored the healer because the first person he would kill at this time was Gordan. With a disdainful smile, he asked, "Have you finished gathering all your strength? It's been a long time."
"I let you be arrogant because today is the day you die," declared Gordan fearlessly.
"Really? Thanks for paying attention to me. But you better focus on gathering your strength. Please use all your strength. I don't want to be seen as killing you because you're not serious."
Radmilo's haughty tone angered Gordan. He who had gathered all his strength immediately moved to finish the arrogant man. Just as he raised his fist, Radmilo was seen snapping his fingers.
"What are you doing? Are you playing with me? You'll regret it for underestimating me!" shouted Gordan, believing that Radmilo could not dodge his blow.
However, Radmilo stared at the deadly attack with a straight face. Then he smiled when he saw Gordan's punch stop in the air. A while ago, he snapped his fingers to use the <pause> skill.
