He was someone who was feared. He was someone a mother would use to scare their child. He is someone who drinks blood for breakfast.
He was the new horror folk tale that everyone knew.
It was his dream to become the most notorious criminal in the whole world. His idol was Jack the Ripper! He wanted to carve his name in history.
He did become the most wanted person on Earth. But it was never enough, there were other people like him. He wasn't the number one.
Just the thought of those people made Braxton even more angrier. The bulging veins on his arms were clear evidence of his hatred.
"How dare that scrawny a.sshole ordered me around. If you weren't a little bit stronger than me, I would already have smashed that pretty face of yours."
Braxton can only curse at 'that' person behind his back. He doesn't have any courage to say that word face to face. Braxton learned his lesson; by planting his face on the ground and eating dirt.
Both were SS-rank yet there was a clear difference between them. That is what made Braxton furious, he left angrily and found the prey to soothe his anger.
But Braxton swore he would destroy that a.sshole.
[The 'Bloodthirsty Immortal' is enjoying your dilemma. He said you should kill that guy.]
"I would have already done that If I could!"
[ The 'Bloodthirsty Immortal' is saying you don't have guts.]
"Easy for you to say. Didn't that guy's sponsor is your enemy? Why did you not-"
[The "Bloodthirsty Immortal' released his wrath.]
"Ugh! Bastard!"
Braxton's words stopped abruptly, and an overbearing wrath befell him. His entire body dropped to the ground creating a small crater. Braxton endured the anger that immortal caused.
After a while. He lifted his body unsteadily. He coughs a small amount of blood.
"I'm surrounded with a.ssholes! S.hit!"
...
"Oi! Hand over that girl to me!"
The Lawless leader walked out from the bushes. Taking out his sword from its sheath on the side of his waist. The Lawless leader condescendingly threatened the two people.
"W-Who are you?!" Kim Hana jumped in surprise. She quickly hid behind Kim Yo-han.
"Me? Hahaha, you don't need to know. I will make you understand later hehe. For now, I will get rid of that boyfriend of yours!" He was looking at Kim Hana's petite body with a lustful expression. Licking his sword, he can't wait.
"B-B-Boyfriend?!" She let out a surprised sound. Her eyes darted left to right as her face started to turn red. She covered her face in embarrassment.
"Boy! I will take care of your little girlfriend for you! It's a crime you are the only one enjoying such beauty. You should share her, you know."
Kim Hana snapped out of her sweet daydream. She just now realized the situation. She could feel the uncomfortable gaze of that man giving her. Her body was trembling, her legs shaking. Clutching on Kim Yo-han's clothes.
The lawless leader approached them step by step.
"Girly, your boyfriend is silent. Is he scared? Hahaha, it seems you have a spineless man. Don't worry, I'll take care of you real good."
The lawless leader has seen the man's rank with appraisal. He is just an A-rank, he could take care of him. The girl is C-rank, for him, it's a free meal.
As for the person he showed contempt over, He looked at the disgusting idiot with calm eyes. While he was teaching Kim Hana about scouting, some grunt appeared out of nowhere.
Seeing such a despicable man whose thoughts were filled with nastiness. He already noticed this person earlier and what happened.
He just ignored it.
The lawless leader stood in front of Kim Yo-han. He was grinning viciously like a demon.
Humans are not innocent either. Once a Human strays off the path of righteousness, they would become even more demonic than demons. Demons are pure to their instinct.
"Die, boy!!"
Raising his sword above his head, the lawless leader swung his sword down. Intending to slice Kim Yo-han in half. The motion was fast to the naked eye. It's to be expected from an S-rank.
"Kyaaaa!" Kim Hana released a high-pitched scream. She didn't know how powerful her Guildmaster was. She thought he was only an A-rank. The man before them looked very strong!
Just as the blade is about to cut Kim Yo-han's head. Kim Yo-han catches the blade between his forefinger and middle finger. To him, the Lawless leader's action was too slow. Even if that blade touched his head, it would leave him unharmed.
However, it would be very shameful if he could not make it cool. He is in front of Kim Hana, after all. How could he become a Guildmaster if he is too weak?
"Huh? What the f.uck?!"
The Lawless Leader's eyes opened wide in shock. His blade was stopped by an A-rank.
"What the f.uck are you?! Let go of my blade!"
He tried to pull his sword, however, it was stuck. The veins on his arms bulge as he tried to pull the sword with all his strength. Even the veins on his forehead tried to get out from the skin. His eyes turn bloodshot and his teeth gritting.
"F.uck! F.uck!"
Seeing that it would not even budge even with all his strength. The lawless leader steps back quickly. Taking out a dagger from his backside, he pointed the dagger at Kim Yo-han warily.
"You're just an A-rank! How could you be stronger than me? Did you do something a.sshole?!"
"You know, you've been yapping and it's annoying. Can you shut that vulgar mouth of yours?... Anyway, is that your friend behind you?"
"Huh?"
"Oy, Did you think you can run away from me?"
Behind the lawless leader, Braxton appeared with his large axe on his shoulder. He was exuding a menacing aura.
The lawless leader quickly dashed to the side. He didn't even look back who it was. He felt eerie goosebumps all over his body, his hair standing. As if his heart was crushed, he used every strength in his legs.
"F.uck! I swear I erased my tracks! There is no way a musclehead like him was able to track me!"
The lawless leader was not a warrior but an assassin-type class. He can easily erase his presence. That's why his subordinates weren't able to detect him.
'How did Braxton arrive so fast? This area was tens of miles from that place. I didn't even spend a minute here. I swear-'
He was very fast, his speed exceeded a thousand miles per hour. Not even his shadow can be seen, there was no change in the air. No air turbulence when he dashed, it was as if he was part of the wind.
This was his S-rank skill. There is no way someone could follow his movements with the naked eye.
But, an axe hit him. His vision split into two. Both sides of his body separated like a wooden log.
"Sneaky bastard, You sure are fast in escaping. Hahaha." Braxton chuckled, stretching his hand toward the direction where he threw his axe.
The axe trembled and flew back to him.
"Now then, it seems there is another prey. This is great! I'm gonna enjoy myself hahaha!"
"G-Guildmaster." Kim Hana's entire body was shaking. She was closing her eyes.
Kim Yo-han patted her head. She was exposed to bloodlust for the first time. He is not blaming her, on the contrary, he is praising her.
To be able to withstand and still awake in this situation is something most people fail. This was S-rank and SS-rank bloodlust, it would not be surprising if a C-rank died of shock.
Although, Kim Yo-han blocked the Killing intent or else it would destroy her mind.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of it."
"You talk big for a small boy. I admire your courage but there is a clear difference between us!"
When someone steps on the level of S-rank, they would get a skill to discern the level of their opponent. Braxton can see the aura of his opponent, he can see Kim Yo-han's weak aura.
In other words, he can deal with this small fry. He didn't even need to use his weapon to deal with this boy.
However, when he saw the boy's calm expression. It made him stop his thoughts. The confidence the boy is making surprised Braxton. Braxton knows what would happen if some weakling is exposed to his killing intent.
They would either feel fear or struggle. Even if that scrawny guy he hated would react the boy in front of him ignored his killing intent.
As a professional. Braxton quickly put on his guard.
"Who are you? You are hiding your rank right?"
"..."
"I'll take that silence as yes. You're on the same level as I am."
Braxton was able to deduct quickly. To be able to hide his rank, would mean he is on the same level as him. There is no way he is higher level than him. After all, the first SSS rank is Arthur Evan Pendragon.
The boy in front of him looked like an Asian. They are clearly in the same world.
