Chapter 105: Can You Really Handle God’s Wrath?
I browsed the God’s Shop, looking for a certain item.
Let’s see... There it is! World-Binding Snake’s Rope!
I’d used this to subdue the Cheol Siblings and seal their powers. I had no intention of killing the cultists. After all, not only was murder a crime, Korea was also a country with strict laws.
“Ugh, these imbeciles. They left me out only to get their asses handed to them.”
An innocent voice, yet twisted tone. A girl emerged from the fog.
Slash slash!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
At the same time, the heads of the two collapsed men rolled across the ground like soccer balls.
“...What?”
My mind went blank.
W-what just...? Did the two of them... die?
Chills!
The next moment, a wave of bloodlust hit me, sending goosebumps across my skin.
“...!”
But I wasn’t the target.
Ssss—!
Xu Zhu stared at me in a daze, before falling to the ground. The shapeless, ghostly figure behind her brandished her sword with a smile.
“No! Run, Xu Zhu!”
I leaped at Xu Zhu, reaching for the blade that was about to sever her head.
Slash! Clang!
A sharp explosive sound resounded as the sword and my hand collided!
“Argh!”
I could barely parry the attack! It pierced through my steel body, digging into my wrist.
“Hee~ Daring to block my attack with bare hands...”
Gritting my teeth, I swung my uninjured left fist at the ghostly figure.
“Fuck off!”
Vrooom!
My fist ripped through the air, determined to crush the ghost’s head.
Flick!
Suddenly, the ghostly figure withdrew at an incredible speed!
“Heehee! I haven’t had this much fun in a while!”
I was furious, but I was more concerned about Xu Zhu right now.
“Xu Zhu, are you alright?”
Trickle—
Xu Zhu, usually full of ignorant bravado, struggled to speak. As she gazed at me, tears welled in her eyes.
Pwoosh! Plop!
Then, blood splattered in my face like a fountain.
“...!”
Plop! Thud!
Her neck had been sliced midway. In the next moment, she collapsed. I was stunned momentarily, but quickly regained my senses and pointed my ring finger at her.
“H-Healing Ring Finger of God!”
Please, please!
Tzz!
A blinding white light enveloped Xu Zhu, healing the injury on her neck.
D-did it work!
Ding!
[Healing failed. A Low-tier God can’t revive the dead!]
A message of despair flashed across my eyes.
Dead?
“X-Xu Zhu?” I reached out to her, my voice faltering.
No, no. She can’t be dead. She looks like she’ll wake up at any moment! There has to be a mistake...
“That’s some interesting power you got there.” The ghostly figure shook off the blood on her sword. “Hoohoo, but I’m still a step faster. What a pity~”
Xu Zhu’s heart had ceased beating.
Ding!
[The innate power Blind Eyes of God has been activated.]
Then, Xu Zhu’s life unfolded before me like a panorama. She grew up miserable. In order to cure her sickly mother, she endured hellish training at the organization. Compared to that, her life as a student at the academy was like a dream. She even made some friends there! But then, under the organization's duress, she was forced to bring me here.
Lastly, were her final words for me.
“Hic, hic, hic... Teacher, please forgive me. I-I was wrong.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong...”
I didn’t blame her. If I were in her shoes, I’d have done the same as well.
“...Equip malevolent god title: Brutal Killer.”
So much so that I needed my divine power to overpower her.
Lin XiaoMing tilted her head. “What? Title? Brutal Killer? What nonsense is that?”
Wooooo!
The moment I equipped it, a surge of madness and bloodlust swept through me, along with a sense of omnipotence that made me feel like I could do anything. I usually felt repulsed by it, but not for this bitch.
“Uurk...”
How dare she dirties this heavenly body. Death is the only fitting end for her.
I raised my middle finger at her.
Lin XiaoMing’s expression became twisted.
“This fucking bastard! Do you have a death wish—”
“Convicting Middle Finger of God.”
Burn to death, insect.
From the pit I was buried in, flames of inferno burst out.
“Ugh!”
Flustered, Lin XiaoMing arched her back at an extreme angle to dodge the flames. The black flames erupted like a volcano, greedily devouring the dense fog, threatening to pierce the sky.
Lin XiaoMing turned pale as she panicked. “You broke through the Eight Battle Formation barrier?”
I leaped into the air, swinging my fist at her.
“Ugh!”
Baaam!
Lin XiaoMing narrowly dodged, causing the ground to explode in her wake.
How frustrating! I was confident I could finish her in one fell swoop, but she was like a rat, scurrying around! Unforgivable! How dare this bitch dodge a god’s attack?!
As I grew angrier, tiny horns sprouted from my head. The memories of the sacrifices I’d slaughtered rose like steam from within.
The soldiers and apostles from God-Maker let out pitiful wails of pain.
-Kyaaaaak!
“L-Lord Asura?” Lin XiaoMing, who was wary of me, was stunned briefly. “...Amazing!”
What did that crazy bitch say?
Slam!
I took the opportunity to close in on her.
“Ha!”
Flash!
Finally coming to her senses, Lin XiaoMing flashed with a red light, disappearing once more...
“Huh?!”
I caught up with her in less than a second. Sticking my head in front of her, I let out a cruel laugh.
“Who’s faster now?”
“Hyiii!”
“Answer me.”
Grab!
With a devilish look on my face, I snatched her left arm with my blackened fingers.
“Let go!”
Unnerved, Lin XiaoMing swung the sword in her right hand at my neck.
“Hmph!”
Before it could touch me, I swung her left arm like a whip.
Slam! Crack!
“Kyaaak!”
A pitiful scream echoed as she was slammed to the ground, followed by the sound of breaking bones.
“Cough cough!”
Lin XiaoMing coughed up blood. Bone shard must’ve pierced through her lungs. But I didn’t stop there.
Flick!
I slammed her back into the ground like a toy.
Bam!
“P-please stop! Kyaaa!”
Of course, I had no intention to stop.
Bam bam bam!
“Hmm.”
I did that a couple more times, and soon, the pathetic cries stopped. I looked down at Lin XiaoMing, who lay motionlessly on the ground. Her beautiful cheongsam was now tattered like rags, revealing her blood-drenched body. Her face was covered in the same liquid, making it difficult to recognize her original face.
To her credit, she still didn’t let go of the sword in her right hand.
Ssss—
I lifted her by her limp left arm, forcing the mangled woman to make eye contact with me.
“You dead already?”
