Pop… Pop.

​

Is the reason the blood is green a warning to stop killing?

​

“Monster… monster… … .”

​

bang!!!

​

“Wow!!?… .”

​

Unfortunately, I don’t plan on doing that.

​

A man with his face on the floor vomits blood. The smell of iron seems to permeate my body.

​

‘If things go on like this, my student will be shocked.’

​

Tuk-tuk.

​

I shook my hands and looked around.

​

About 30 members of Rosetta’s organization were either dead or lying mortally wounded. With this, the Golden Fist Mountains and Rivers will never be in danger.

​

The Golden Fist left a few minutes ago, so it should arrive at Venus within 10 minutes.

​

If I run as hard as I can, will it be 5 minutes shorter?

​

Of course, that wouldn’t be enough.

​

I slightly bent both knees and took a jumping stance.

​

It’s a pretty unreasonable situation to deal with quickly, but we can’t afford to take our time. It would be right for me to go first and sort out the situation.

​

There shouldn’t be anything special in the meantime.

​

Tiring!

​

◎︎ Ronica summons you.

◎︎ Would you like to respond to the contractor?

​

… It seems like something special has happened.

​

I took a moment to estimate the mana remaining in my body.

​

The growth control skill was powerful, but it consumed a lot of mana.

​

Will I be able to last the next 5 minutes?

It must be finished within that.

​

I wonder what would happen if my student were shocked to see me now… .

​

Safety first.

There is no time to hesitate.

​

◎︎ Respond to summons.

​

Faaah!!

​

​

​

​

​

​

The moment I opened my eyes with a pillar of light, I saw the face of the woman who had harassed my student.

​

The arm I cut off had a well-crafted magic prosthetic hand attached to it, and the guy’s level had risen to the beginning of the 6th star in just a few days.

​

‘I don’t think it’s an ordinary prosthetic hand… … .’

​

so.

That’s how brave you are.

​

“You, you… That beast?… … .”

​

“Well… coon?… … .”

​

“Is that a black guy?… .”

​

Erica, who made eye contact, looked at me with wide eyes, and behind me, Ronika and Rowen repeated my name as if they were confused.

​

Unfortunately, I don’t have enough time to confirm to them that it’s me.

​

I don’t have enough mana to maintain my appearance.

​

I have to finish it right now.

​

Woe!-

​

“Ugh!!?… What a way to live!!”

​

He focused his sticky life on Erica.

​

Most people think of life as a threatening force.

​

However, if you practice this, it is also a weapon.

​

For example, he can convulse an enemy, subdue him with just his eyes, or a truly crazy person can cause a small explosion just by killing him.

​

Living is also a form of martial arts.

I nailed it.

​

Although I can’t fully utilize my abilities in my current state, I can at least briefly stop the guy in front of me.

​

“Keuuugh!!!”

​

He walked up to Erica, who was clutching her neck as if in pain, with both feet and swung his claws at her.

​

Cheaeng!!

​

“Do you think you’ll get hit again!!!!”

​

The guy, who was at a level of 6 stars, quickly swung his sword and blocked the claws.

​

Geom lecture.

​

The black energy in my fingernails fluttered around.

​

Anyway, he is a 6-star swordsman. If I were to engage in a power struggle like this, it would be at a disadvantage to me.

​

Ching!

​

I parried the attack and took a step back.

​

“Ha! yes. There is no way you could block my attack!!!”

​

The guy who noticed that his auror was a higher level immediately boldly delivered an additional blow.

​

Damn!!

The sword splits into ten pieces.

​

He used the skill to end it once and for all.

You’re clumsy.

​

hook-

​

I pushed the guy’s wrist away.

​

“What?… .”

​

Skills are not omnipotent. Skills can only be used if they are backed up by a certain level of ability.

​

If you are interrupted, it will be cancelled.

​

“This guy!!!”

​

Whoa!!

​

Was he angry at the ridiculously blocked attack?

​

I turned my body, shook off my hand, and struck the sword cavity, which was surrounded more darkly than before.

​

“No!! Black guy. It’s dangerous!!!… .”

​

At that moment, Ronica came to her senses and called me. He might be scared by my ferocious spirit when he first sees me, but he still looks worried.

​

Just saying those words makes me feel energized.

​

I can’t worry you any more.

​

Shuuk.

​

Without hesitation, I took a step into the danger looming at the tip of my sword.

​

Tiring!

​

◎︎ Muhak’s understanding of ‘The Water Spout of the Earth’ is very excellent.

◎︎ The minimum physical requirements to use Earth Waterspout are met. A skill waterspout is temporarily created.

​

One of the technologies created at the tower.

​

After dodging the attack by digging in one step, I pushed the guy’s body away with one hand and stepped on the ground with my dug-in foot.

​

Kuhuuung!!

​

“Ugh!?”

​

Advancement is not simply putting your weight on your feet and taking a step. This is also a peak of martial arts. In this case, you can simply counter.

​

Kuwaaagh!!-

​

◎︎ A waterspout occurs.

​

“Keuuu!!!!”

​

The gust of wind that rose from the tips of her feet instantly rose up and engulfed Erica.

​

“Aaagh!!!

​

A scream blooms in the waterspout.

​

A few seconds of freedom.

Meanwhile, I turned my body back.

​

Ronica and Rowen were looking at this place blankly, like they were mute.

​

There is no need to drag it out any longer.

​

I snatched Rowen’s sword.

​

“Uh… What?… … When will my sword… … … .”

​

A cracked sword.

Did he bump into Erica once?

​

‘It’s perfect.’

​

It’s a bit difficult to hold and swing a sword with only three thick fingers, but it doesn’t matter for now.

​

Ugh~

​

Put on an aura.

​

I threw it back without even looking back.

​

Fuhoo!!

​

“Aaaagh!!!!!!!!”

​

It struck Erica’s heart precisely in a gust of wind.

​

A 6-star swordsman can protect himself with mana even in a storm.

​

But you can’t stop the blade.

​

This is the end-

​

Pick!!

​

“Don’t be funny… I’m barely in a place like this… … I’m telling you not to talk bullshit!!!!!”

​

Erina pulled out the sword stuck in her chest with her prosthetic hand.

It looks better than I expected.

​

By concentrating the auror for a moment, he prevented the sword from sinking deeply.

​

Is that also a talent?

This is amazing instantaneous judgment.

​

Concentrating your Aura while enduring the pain of your whole body being torn apart in a short moment.

Fit-

I look at this place even though my whole body is bleeding as if I was hit.

Even though blood would get into his eyes and sting, he showed great will.

​

Whoa~

​

Eventually, the gust of wind stops.

​

If this happens, we have no choice but to finish it clearly.

​

I have about 3 minutes left now.

With the intention of decapitating him at once, he raised his claws and took a jumping stance in a straight line.

​

Peeing~

​

Then a variable appeared.

​

The red beads embedded in the joints of the magic prosthetic hand worn by Erica flashed brightly for an instant.

​

‘This!… .’

​

The imprint of the undead.

​

The magic prosthetic hand contained magic that was familiar to me. And soon, a dark red energy rose up and started to engulf Erica as if it was going to eat her.

​

“Qu!?… What, what!! Why is this happening all of a sudden… Ahhh!!!”

​

A reaction that says you don’t even know.

​

If so, there is a rough answer.

​

He probably got a prosthetic hand through a deal with a warlock… The wizard had conspired to make Erica his subordinate.

​

Because it was activated as soon as Erica was weakened.

​

‘I’m tired.’

​

I changed my plan.

​

If there is more behind it, we need to find out at least by capturing Erica alive. If the kite reaches the slums, it can also reach Lonica.

​

then… .

​

First of all, we have to prevent it from becoming undead.

​

It is too late to cancel the activated magic, but it is possible if you forcibly cut it off midway.

​

Therefore, close your eyes and find my wish.

No, they put Erica in a winding circle that could cut through anything.

​

The range is strange because it is a claw and not a sword.

​

These variables can be easily controlled.

​

“Aaaah!!!! stop!! I’m telling you to stop!!!!”

​

Then, he raised his fingernails and drew towards Erica, who was continuously resisting the black energy.

​

Swish!

​

썣썄죤!!

​

“Hmm… Hmm!!… … .”

​

The area around Erica’s body was cut thoroughly.

​

It was similar to the skill he used on me.

More than a dozen blades simultaneously cut off all the black energy covering Erica.

​

Hwii~

​

The black energy fluttered and fell in the distance, as if it had been torn apart by the wind.

​

At least 5-star magic was forcibly canceled.

​

“Heo Eok… Huh… … .”

​

Erica gasped at that.

A few pieces of his hair were cut and falling out.

​

A look of horror.

Even though he came back from the dead, his face is despairing.

​

He must have been appalled because if he had been just a little bit late, the skin on his entire body would have rotted and he would have been treated like a slave for the rest of his life.

​

So why did you make a deal with the warlock?

​

of course… Although it is largely my fault.

Your fault is bigger because you were blinded by revenge and did not see it clearly.

​

dump.

​

The guy must have lost all his strength and fell to his knees helplessly.

​

You must have noticed it quickly.

his desperate situation.

​

“At best… Have you been fooled by something like this?”

​

So you couldn’t win from the beginning?

​

He laughs.

​

Pak!!

​

I walked up to that guy and hit him on the back of the neck.

​

You only have regrets in your dreams.

​

Okay.

​

fell to the floor.

​

It was a futile defeat for her, who had conquered the maritime city of Bagel and become a pirate in her previous life.

​

“What is it? Why the boss?… .”

​

“Erica!!?”

​

“Crazy. There is a monster over there!!! The boss was defeated by that monster!!!”

​

“Well, what is it? Is this real?… Oh, run away!!”

​

Rosetta’s gang members who happened to witness the fight backed away in shock. They must have been embarrassed because a huge monster appeared and defeated the boss.

​

“Sister!!! We are here!!!!!”

​

“For Venus!!!!”

​

“Protect the captain!!!”

​

Just then, Golden Fist Sanha arrived from afar.

​

They immediately joined the Rosetta gang members, brandishing various tools.

​

Arrived much faster than expected.

Did I run to my death?

​

It’s not bad.

​

Erica fell, and Venus received reinforcements.

​

On the other hand, Rosetta’s membership has already decreased significantly. Before I knew it, it had become a fight worth fighting, no, a fight I could win.

​

Although there is some damage… .

Anyway, Venus won.

​

“Rosetta’s boss is so vain… .”

​

Rowen mutters absentmindedly behind him.

​

I picked up the sword I threw at Erica and handed it to Rowen, who was distracted.

​

The guy instantly accepted the sword.

​

“Uh… Okay, thank you… ?”

​

Crispy.

​

The cracked sword fell apart.

​

“… ???… … .”

​

I took my gaze away from the gray-faced guy and looked down at Ronika.

​

The biggest problem is this.

​

Tears wet my cheeks.

A pale complexion.

​

I appeared in front of a guy who was fighting and killing someone for the first time, smelling like blood.

​

It would be very difficult for a 12-year-old child to accept the current situation. As you can see, there was a bit of fear in the eyes looking at me.

​

“Negro… … .”

​

So I want to ask.

​

Am I a monster to you now?

​

Of course, I couldn’t say it out loud. Because I don’t have the confidence to hear the answer.

​

But Ronica answered.

​

“No!! Black people are not monsters!!”

​

… What is it?

​

My eyes opened wide.

​

How did you understand?

Or did you catch my thoughts?

​

A face mixed with anger and regret.

Ronica approaches with trembling steps.

​

width.

​

Then he opened his arms and hugged my waist.

​

Even though there was blood on it, he didn’t care.

​

It was similar to how my father hugged me the day he died and told me not to go.

​

And then he whispered.

​

“Negroes have always been angels.”

​

“… Puhuhuhuh.”

​

It makes me laugh.

​

I understood Ronika’s thoughts.

​

◎︎ Deep connection strengthens the bond of contract. The effectiveness of skill ‘Solidarity’ is enhanced.

​

Just like I did.

You were worried about me too.

​

How profound is this.

​

What a great disciple!!

​

Tiring!

​

◎︎ You have run out of mana to maintain growth control.

◎︎ Growth control is lifted.

​

Peeee~~

​

My body shrinks.

​

It shrunk back to its original comfortable form and returned to its smaller form again.

​

Ronica lightly lifted me into her arms.

​

warm body temperature.

Soon, a tickling wind blew into my ears.

​

“… Thank you for saving me.”

​

◎︎ You saved Ronica from danger. (2/3)

​
