Chapter 14: Witch of Massacre (4)

Fourth, if those party members are not killed, Mino and Jaehwan were the ones who would die tonight.

After hearing all the information, Jaehwan was able to understand what she wanted.

‘So she wants me to kill these guys.’

But he did not have the intention to do it yet. He knew these guys seemed like bad people, but it wasn’t right to judge them through the first impression. In fact, Blacksmith Jay looked like a gangster at first but he was a good man at heart.

[You’ll see soon enough. They will try to kill you too.]

And the night came.

The one who offered to camp out was the leader Kanghun. The village wasn’t far, but Kanghun reasoned that it might be dangerous to move at night as more monsters might come out.

Jaehwan feigned sleep and used [Suspicion] to listen to the conversation between the parties with [Whisper].

[Leader, is that really?]

[Yeah. It’s a Spirit Weapon for sure.]

[Spirit Weapon?]

[It’s a weapon that eats up other items to continue growing. It’s a valuable weapon used only by the Lords of the <Great Lands>.]

[OH! Weapons used by the Lords!]

[Yeah. I don’t think his weapon would be that powerful, but it’s still an opportunity.]

It was as the woman had thought.

‘So… I think they are talking about my sword.’

It was unexpected. According to Beastlain’s information, items that dropped from the Tower of Nightmares was trash compared to items from the <Great Lands>. Jaehwan did not think his sword would draw attention because of that.

‘I guess it was one of a kind.’

He was fascinated as the sword ate up all types of equipment, but he never thought it would hold any value. He just kept it because he didn’t have anything else on him.

The men continued discussing.

[But leader, isn’t he strong?]

[Yes.]

[He killed a bihorn with one strike. How can we defeat him?]

[You fool.]

Kanghun scoffed and continued.

[Did you see how he killed the monster?]

[Uh… something kind of flashed and…]

[He killed it with a stab.]

[Huh?]

Man seemed dumbfounded.

[How is that possible?]

[It’s not possible. I bet my life that there’s are very few people who can kill bihorn with a stab throughout the entire <Chaos> region.]

[S-so he’s that strong?]

[Ugh, you fool. Hey, don’t fool around and use the measuring device and check his Spirit Power.]

[Yes, sir!]

After a while…

[H-huh? Leader, his Spirit Power rating is the same as a Non-Adapter. It’s lower than mine!]

[Isn’t it? I knew it.]

Kanghun cackled.

[Then how did he kill the bihorn?]
