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.
Fwoosh!
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—" 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.
< You've dealt 11,500 damage! > (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— Y-You!"
