Chapter 424: Time Zero
The moment she pressed the launch button, [Amber Throat] had actually lost the ability to judge. Her pupils shrank to the extreme, like a frightened cat, instinctively puffing up her fur and unleashing all attack methods.
Kaito Shirogane's right hand also turned pitch-black. Muscles bulged inch by inch. The meridians on his arm appeared from the skin surface like black snakes.
Accompanying his exertion of force, a terrible sound like a heavy machine starting its engine rang out.
[President Kim] in the sky suddenly felt a monstrous force coming from his arm amplified by spiritual arts. Then his arm was thrown violently to one side.
Boom!
A terrible explosion erupted on his arm in an instant. Terrifying high heat sprayed out instantly.
"Ah!"
President Kim screamed miserably. His ability was passively deactivated. Clutching his arm, he fell from the sky. On the ground, Amber Throat, unaware that her invisible attack had long been seen through and the shoulder cannon built into her [Predator] armor was damaged, could only have someone modify a small missile of the same model as Iron Man's onto her armor.
Because President Kim's huge arm was suddenly thrown towards her, this ammunition with quite excellent explosive power exploded almost less than three meters in front of her.
High temperature and shockwaves sent her flying instantly.
Regaining calmness in the air due to burning pain, she twisted her body in mid-air, curling up as much as possible to let less skin suffer from flames.
Shibal!
At this moment, she only felt the world become very slow. She finally overcame the fear of facing Mercenary Tao. She was originally a crazy person. Exposed to pain now, her crazy nature was revealed, allowing her to overcome fear.
"Mercenary Tao, you..."
Hum!
Splurt!
A golden beam abruptly pierced through the woman rotating in the air trying to land. The invisibility effect disappeared immediately.
The woman's corpse smashed to the ground with a bang. Warm blood flowed out rapidly.
[You killed Reincarnator BB10334561 in the real world]
[Strength comparison between both sides is 1:0.62. No extra reward increase]
[The highest attribute of No. BB10334561 will provide you with fixed attribute points]
[Your Agility attribute increased by 2 points]
[The personal space of No. BB10334561 has merged into your personal space. You can check after entering the Space]
[Sin Karma Point +1]
On the other side, President Kim falling from the sky was also hit by an emerald green sword light in an instant, breaking into two pieces in the air.
When this man smashed onto the ground, he hadn't realized he had been cut in half at the waist. He just wanted to run away, but found he couldn't move.
Then turning his head to look at his broken waist and intestines flowing all over the ground, tears and snot flowed down his face.
"No no no no... I haven't earned her medical fees yet. I can't die, I can't..."
President Kim reached out his hand. The light of spiritual arts lit up. He wanted to stuff his intestines back. But in the next moment, a speeding figure swept past him.
The world turned upside down instantly. In his blurred teary eyes, he finally only saw that woman's emotionless gaze and the sound of clapping further away.
"Mom..."
[Gathering Member FV28814477 (President Kim) has died]
Seo Ji-woo saw the news of two members' deaths without any unhappiness. He covered his forehead with one hand, where blood was flowing out.
Both Kaito and Seo Ji-woo, under the effect of efficacy at this time, had Strength exceeding a hundred points. The terrible force of violent collision was like a missile exploding between the two.
Kaito's loose T-shirt was also torn, revealing a body covered in dragon scales.
Brilliant flames burned on Seo Ji-woo's body, but he seemed unable to feel pain and didn't dispel them. Like Kaito, he also subscribed to the theory that pain could bring pleasure.
This burning pain delighted him!
Blood-red aura rose constantly from Seo Ji-woo's body. That was blood steam appearing due to high temperature after blood flowed at high speed.
His pupils had also turned into golden vertical pupils, but his face still maintained its original appearance.
He was still smiling. After Mercenary Tao's arm swelled, the strength was almost the same as his.
"Very good, very good, Mr. Shirogane. We Sin Reincarnators should have such overwhelming power..."
"But, having only strength won't do for me."
Seo Ji-woo was like a chatterbox. He raised his left hand. The fingernails on his arm were exceptionally sharp, like several daggers.
A force like a force field spread from his body, enveloping the entire interior of the barrier in an instant.
The world seemed static in his eyes.
Moving the corner of his eye, he saw Lee Chae-rin on the other side rushing towards him with a sword.
The contraction of Mercenary Tao's eyes in front of him was like slow motion.
This was a world completely belonging to him.
Seo Ji-woo swiped his finger. A layer of tough dragon scales shattered under his dragon claw. When the fingernail cut the throat and muscles, it seemed like cutting a piece of leather.
Mercenary Tao's physical strength far exceeded normal humans, but unfortunately, Seo Ji-woo's [Dragonification] degree was high enough that his sanity should have been eroded long ago.
His physical body was already very close to a true dragon.
Cutting Mercenary Tao's throat, then breaking free from the opponent's restraint with force, he turned around, looking with interest at the female swordswoman who still maintained movement and ran towards him at a speed far exceeding ordinary Reincarnators even in the static-like world.
Then he swayed his body, humming an unknown tune in his mouth, and walked towards Lee Chae-rin. The emerald green sword light had just been triggered from that war blade.
The air was cut. Seo Ji-woo walked past from the side with his body sideways. His left hand extended naturally. The index finger's nail swiped across the woman's throat again.
Splurt!
Splurt!
Seo Ji-woo walked a few steps, opened his arms, turned back to appreciate the surging of two blood fountains.
Lee Chae-rin staggered a few steps. The discomfort of missing a slash hadn't dissipated yet, and blood sprayed from her neck.
She subconsciously covered her neck, seeing Kaito in front also spraying blood from his throat.
So fast, how can it be so fast!
Lee Chae-rin's pupils trembled. Seo Ji-woo's strength greatly exceeded her expectations.
The opponent's speed made her Godspeed unable to react.
Seo Ji-woo took a deep breath, his face distorted with joy.
"I know you won't be killed like this, Mr. Shirogane... So nice."
"This way only we remain here. Hope you don't mind me killing this woman. After all..."
Puff puff puff!
Several wounds appeared on Lee Chae-rin's back again. She began to fall forward. Seo Ji-woo had appeared behind her at some point.
Kaito wiped his fingertip across his neck; that slender wound had healed. He smelled the scent of his own blood, then looked at Seo Ji-woo appearing behind the slowly falling Lee Chae-rin.
Seo Ji-woo looked at Lee Chae-rin, whose falling movement was so slow. How did I think of finding such a weak guy as my companion before?
He suddenly felt some disgust towards himself. Raising his arm again, his sharp claws dug towards Lee Chae-rin's heart.
Boom!
As if thunder suddenly exploded in the static world.
Seo Ji-woo turned back, seeing a cloud of white smoke exploding from where Mercenary Tao stood just now. In the next moment, his thrusting arm was grabbed by a hand again.
Seo Ji-woo turned his head, meeting a pair of eyes fully open so that every detail in the pupils could be seen clearly by him.
"In a sense, we are really destined."
Kaito's hair floated backward without wind. He stood in place, but his body seemed to be trembling constantly, as if staying in place was already a very difficult thing to control.
He lowered his head, staring into Seo Ji-woo's eyes, his left hand gripping the opponent's arm tightly. The imprint on his ear had been removed at some point.
At this time, dark purple Killing Intent Wave could no longer be suppressed, surging incomparably towards Seo Ji-woo close at hand.
"Hey, Seo Ji-woo, let's see here, between [Time Zero] and [Setsuna], who exactly is faster~"
In the next moment, in the almost static world, Seo Ji-woo saw Mercenary Tao's right hand raise. The index finger turned pitch-black, stabbing violently towards his chest.
Seo Ji-woo also grinned. his base Agility also exceeded 60 points. Combined with [Lightning Speed]'s efficacy conversion of 1.8, his speed was also fast to the extreme.
With the assistance of his enhanced [Time Zero], almost no one was faster than him.
Seo Ji-woo raised his hand to stab at Mercenary Tao's chest.
Puff puff puff puff!
In the next moment, his vision emptied. Countless finger shadows erupted in an instant. At the moment his one finger stabbed into Mercenary Tao's chest, he had been stabbed four times consecutively.
