116. King of Trier.

In fact, anyone could not help but find the King of Sal’s threats horrifying. This was because his assassination was difficult to prevent even for the 3rd Awakening.

It wasn’t for no reason that I was afraid of his assassination and created a special magic. To that extent, his assassination skills were formidable.

Of course, it was all an old story.

I was leisurely thinking about other things.

They didn’t seem at all frightened by his threats.

‘I don’t think you know that I know your identity?’

I now knew that the King of Sal was Michael, who had participated in the auction earlier.

But he didn’t seem to know that I knew that fact.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have made this threat.

‘Because it means throwing away the identity that I worked so hard to create as Michael.’

Anyway, I could see that I had gone as far as I could.

Soon the identity of the person I had been hiding was revealed.

“I know you are Michael.”

“……!!”

The guy looked really surprised by what I said.

Of course, it was only for a moment.

He immediately looked the other way.

“What are you talking about?”

But it was already too late.

“I know it all. Throw away the smoke.”

“……You noticed that?”

In fact, when he tried to assassinate the warrior, he showed some sloppiness. Suddenly, Michael, who was known as a saintly bastard, asked about the hero’s weakness. It couldn’t help but be strange.

However, linking this information to the fact that he was the king of flesh was on a different level. That’s why he looked so surprised.

‘Actually, I knew it long before that.’

Anyway, for a moment, I felt a tingling sensation in my flesh. I could feel that guy’s life again. Plus, living there now was on a different level. It was much more intense than before.

‘Do you really think you want to kill me?’

I found out the truth that he wanted to hide. Perhaps, due to the nature of an assassin, he would want to silence me, even if it meant killing me.

Of course, this is only when possible.

I kept opening my mouth.

“And you are in the same league as Zenith Sangdang?”

“……Do you even know that? There’s nothing I can do about it.”

King Sal became even more determined to live. Now he seemed to be openly hostile to me.

Soon King Sal’s mood changed. It seemed like they were trying to make a surprise attack first.

But I was quite relaxed even in this situation.

On the contrary, I was even thinking strange thoughts inside.

‘You would have figured it out by now, right?’

It was a pretty random idea.

It was then.

Startle.

King Sal suddenly appeared as if he was surprised. It looked quite strange.

“This can’t be happening?”

The guy’s voice was full of embarrassment. It was an appearance that did not suit King Sal, the assassin of assassins.

And there was a reason for everything.

“Can’t you see the scars…?”

King Sal clearly had the ability to detect whether or not there was an assassination. This was used to gauge the opponent’s skills.

And I definitely had skin scars until a long time ago. When I was a dark wizard, I was able to hear what he confirmed.

But that wasn’t the case now. That’s why he was so embarrassed.

“Why can’t I see it?”

The warrior also said that he could not see any scars.

And that means…

‘It really means that I have reached the same level as a warrior.’

What I roughly estimated was different from what was objectively acknowledged by others.

I smiled confidently.

And slowly began to approach him.

“Why did I tell you about your identity? It would be better if I didn’t mention that it was Michael.”

Actually it was.

It was better for me to keep this information hidden. It was obvious that the moment I said this, King Sal would try to kill me.

But I said this out loud.

Of course, I didn’t just say everything audibly.

Before I knew it, a magic had been activated around the house.

‘Silence Field.’

It was an advanced magic I learned from my teacher, and it was a magic that blocked sounds and presence in this area from spreading.

It could be seen as a magic trick learned to prepare for moments like this.

Anyway, I continued to approach him.

“Are you not going to say anything? Then I’ll tell you directly. I also had no intention of leaving you alive.”

He tried to mess with people around me. You could tell just by looking at the sending of life to Anna.

Most likely, if I don’t give him the Salamander’s Heart, he will start targeting people around me viciously from that moment on.

That was the assassin’s way.

I noticed that, and I brought this story up to catch him off guard.

“You’re going to kill me? You know that if you go against me, you’ll get very tired, right?”

The guy spoke as if he was trying to placate me.

But I ignored what he said. I just kept approaching it.

‘It’s not persuasive if you talk like that while giving off the air of living.’

Probably, your mind is quite complicated. So I brought up a useless story for no reason.

I ignored his reaction and continued to approach. Then he spoke leisurely.

“Do you know what? Just because they are 3rd Awakened, doesn’t that mean they are all the same 3rd Awakening?”

“What are you talking about?”

“You would know, right?”

King Sal was an opponent I could beat even before I got stronger. His assassination was scary, but his actual power wasn’t scary.

And I became stronger in that state. It has also become incomparably stronger. I had no choice but to overflow with leisure.

And is it because of the way I am?

“Tsk, can’t we help it?”

Soon King Sal was seen trying to pull back. Like an assassin, his first thought was to run away.

But if I wanted to escape, I had to run away earlier. I could see that it was too late now.

Slurp.

“Hmm?!!”

In an instant, my body disappeared.

He didn’t use techniques like King Sal.

I just moved my body quickly. But it was so fast that it seemed as if it had disappeared.

In an instant, I appeared behind King Sal.

Unfortunately, I currently had no weapons.

But it was okay.

I was also quite good at hand-to-hand combat. To be exact, he was quite good at boxing.

Soon my left fist stretched forward. Even without moving his body, only his left hand came forward.

It was just a light jab. I could see it as a checking fist with little to no power on my part.

But is it because my power is so great?

Clearly the light jab was not light at all. And it was frighteningly fast.

Whoa whoa-!!

Soon a loud sound rang out.

It was the sound of my fist hitting the guy right in the face as he tried to turn his head.

However, there was no need to worry. Thanks to magic, this sound will not spread.

The guy stumbled hard under my fist. Anyone who sees it will think it was an uppercut with all his might.

“What kind of power…!”

The guy looked very shocked and embarrassed.

Didn’t I tell you?

The pure weight class has now surpassed that of the warriors. The only thing they lack compared to a warrior is skill.

Of course, in this situation of civilian massacre(?), he had no choice but to be better than the warrior. This was because all they had to do was push their weight class.

I didn’t bother to tell him that.

And then he punched again.

This time it was a jab again.

Soon a fist like a beam of light flew towards the guy. It was just a checking fist without my weight on it.

But this time too, he was in for a big shock.

Fuuuck-!!

“Kuhuhuh…!!”

Immediately, the guy’s head turned sharply. At the same time, his body was seen staggering. Anyone who saw it seemed quite shocked.

I didn’t really give him any time.

Once again my body disappeared. And then it appeared right in front of him.

In that state, I punched again. This time it was a jab again.

“Now, wait…!”

I could hear the man’s panicked voice, but I could tell it was already too late.

Soon my fist exploded once again.

Fuuuck-!!

This time it was a face again. It also kept hitting the same spot. Probably, you will be completely out of your mind.

And I just kept doing the same thing over and over again.

If he retreats, approach quickly. After that, he threw a jab.

Of course, my fist kept getting stuck in his face.

Fuuuck-!!

Fuuuck-!!

Fuuuck-!!

“Keoeoeook-!!”

In an instant, his face was covered in blood. The fastest attack was being delivered accurately and continuously.

The overwhelming difference in weight between him and me created the current situation.

‘It’s so fast you can’t even see it.’

In fact, you’ll be so distracted that you won’t even think about looking at it.

I kept throwing jabs and cornered him.

Fuuuck-!!

Fuuuck-!!

I couldn’t let down my guard until the end. That’s why there wasn’t a big attack.

Even though he looked like this, he was a third awakener. I didn’t know what to do. It was best to kill him like this.

It was then.

Hwaaa!!

At that moment, a black reaper appeared behind him. It brought out the true power of the 3rd awakening. It could be seen that it was that urgent.

‘Are you planning on using your special abilities like this?’

I knew his special ability was quite troublesome. It was thanks to his special ability that he was able to escape from the hero.

However, it could be seen that it was very different from when he was a warrior. I already knew about his special abilities.

‘Just finish it before it starts.’

I tried to drag it safely and slowly, but it became inevitable.

I took out the Maninjeon that I had been saving for a while. I had to finish it quickly.

Huaaa-!!!

Soon a white haze appeared behind me. A war of all odds had begun.

The white haze moved quickly and took shape.

However, it looked a little different than before.

No, it was very different.

Originally, it was normal for the steel mercenaries to appear. Of course, they still exist today.

But soon they became a minority.

Soon countless people began to fill the area around the Steel Mercenaries.

A student with a book, a farmer with a sickle, a merchant with a stick, a woodcutter with an axe, a prostitute with a flower, a housewife with a knife, a gangster with a dagger, a child with a stone, etc.

People I see in everyday life began to appear behind me.

And the number was too great to count. Even though the mansion was filled with haze, there was not enough space.

All the citizens of Trier whose lives were saved by me were standing behind me.

It was truly an incredible spectacle.

He looked like he was the king of Trier.
