Chapter 9: Exhaustive Power

"Uhh!!h

The howling thug smashed Lorraine directly into the shoulder.

A terrifying tingling sensation instantly spread across the left half of his body, and his body inevitably hit the wall on the right, and the violent impact made Lorraine dizzy for a moment.

Something more like a claw than a hand held firmly to his shoulder.

"Tell me, who is Frey's son!!"

Gasping for breath, Lorraine stared into those eyes, the pain forcing her consciousness to regain her strength. A violent sense of crisis surrounded his mind, and he even forgot to breathe for a while.

A drop of sweat ran across her forehead and down her eyebrow bone into her left eye, and the sourness made Lorraine stare at her right eye.

Karn's half-human, half-wolf face met his eyes, and the terror radiated from his almost crumbling yellow pupils.

Lorraine heard a series of terrible explosions, the sound of bones breaking, muscles tearing and regrowing, Karn could no longer bear the side effects of the blood of the beast.

His power was climbing towards the first-order chasm, level 5, and the transcendent aura was initially leaking out of his body.

However, the resurrection from the dead simply pushed him into the real abyss.

"Say it! Say it! ”

This one...... No, the wolf-like inhuman man was like a hungry wolf looking for lost prey, roaring rapidly, his muddy, hoarse voice changing his pronunciation habits.

Karn looked more and more like a beast.

At this moment, cold sweat had soaked Lorraine's back, and it seemed that it was not a wall, but a cold death beside him.

He gritted his teeth and lifted his eyes after a few seconds.

“…… I? I do not know. ”

Karn didn't expect such a response, his thoughts froze for a moment, and then his distorted mouth showed yellow teeth, and a maniacal smile squeezed into the corners of his ugly mouth.

"I said it, you'll regret it!"

The corners of his mouth grinned to the limit, and a mouth full of yellow teeth pressed into Lorraine's throat, and then, a cone on the head.

"Whew!!"

With the crack of his nose bone, Lorraine's right knee jerked upward, and the close range sent it into the weak spot under Karn's chest.

Karn bent down to bend down in the same way as Vanessa, and the loosening of his palm allowed Lorraine to desperately break free.

"I'm going to kill you......" Karn tried to regain Lorraine's grasp, but responded with a straight punch.

"Get out of here."

Lorraine's only right eye widened with a hideous expression, the closed frame of the Raven's Beak Mask began to tremble uncontrollably, and a stream of scarlet power flowed out, causing Karn to scream like a burn.

Blind Justice –

Evil Suppression!!

The only spell of the Raven's Beak Mask is officially depleted.

Facing Karn, who was instantly paralyzed in combat effectiveness, Lorraine raised his twin swords, his hands were so numb that he couldn't even feel the presence of ten fingers.

But that didn't stop his boiling killing intent.

Hold tight, hold ...... Smash it down!

The blunt blade smashed swiftly into Karn's Celestial Spirit Cover, and the violent impact knocked Karn's head to the ground.

"Uh-"

The thug had only time to let out a half-wail when Lorraine's scimitar flipped in his hand, the tip pointing downward, and the cold blade plunged straight between his ribs.

"Ah!!h

The howl almost pierced the night sky, but was replaced by a violent cough that was out of breath.

Lorraine drew his twin swords, gasping for breath to bring his form back to steady and out of Karn's possible uproar.

"Ugh! Cough...... Ahh ”

The thugs on the ground writhed in despair.

The strong vitality of the beast body does not mean that the healing speed increases.

Before the real death came, Karn clearly felt the blood pouring into his ruptured lungs, and the pain of life and death forced him to call for help from the only living man.

"Ask for ...... Save...... Help me......"

The faint pupils that were about to collapse were full of confusion, unwillingness, and despair.

Lorraine responded to him, but only sheathed his scimitar, and then picked up a floored match and Karn's cigarette.

"Click......

The light of the fire lit up in the darkness, like a star that flickered and flickered.

Lorraine took a puff of the low-quality tobacco she hadn't seen for a long time, and then slowly exhaled the blood-scented smoke into the summer night of cicadas.

"Whew...... It hurts. ”

After a moment, Karn stopped moving.

He's dead.

A system alert sounded in her ears, and Lorraine glanced at the corpse and opened the system template.

……

Lorraine closed the template, turned Karn, whose face was sunk in the water, turned it up, pulled out a scimitar and stabbed him in the eye socket.

No response, indeed dead.

Before dying, the thug spasmed and tried to crawl to his feet.

However, even though he exhausted all his strength, until he died, he did not take half a step.

Grief, indignation, unwillingness, and deep hatred condensed on this ugly, distorted face.

Sure he was dead, Lorraine drew her cutlass and cut off his head.

Black blood dripped onto the stone bricks and mingled with the stagnant water.

His shoulders were still sore, and he couldn't lift his entire arm, but Lorraine wrapped Karn's head in the clothes of the dead, and collected some loot by the way.

The most valuable of these was a whole bag of Imperial Silver.

That's a lot of money for the people at the bottom, enough for a thug like Karn to squander a week in a brothel.

However, judging from the logo of the Gray Fang Gang on the money bag, it should be the protection money he scavenged from the neighborhood under his jurisdiction in the past few days.

Karn should have paid the money to his superiors, but he didn't expect to die a miserable death on the streets.

For Lorraine, this is quite a reward.

Enough to buy a slave.

But it was Karn's head that was really expensive.

There will be someone in the Hunters' Guild who will be interested in this.

Not only did those people hunt the abyssal species, but they also occasionally did the handy work of eradicating this trash fish to fill their money bags.

Perhaps, this can be used to eradicate the Grayfangs.

As for what the source of the blood of the remnants was, few people cared, as more piranhas only saw fresh meat.

Lorraine stood up, ignoring the tavern that had long since fallen silent, and turned and limped away.

Wait until his figure is gone.

A few rickety figures sneaked up on them.

Around the three bodies, they eagerly ripped off anything of possible value, and quickly disappeared into the darkness of the slum before someone could drive them away.

No one but the Greyfangs cared who the corpses belonged to.

Even if Karn's dead were not ghosts, he was still a thief leader.

When he dies, there will be a new person to fill the place.

No one is afraid of the dead, and that's nothing surprising.

Because, this is the slum.
