"Bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Fists and feet rained down on Kobayashi Itsuki's body, the hard impacts creating dull thuds as they connected with his flesh.
Given Kobayashi Itsuki's current physical attributes, avoiding the attacks of these ordinary people would have been incredibly easy, posing no problem whatsoever.
But since he had to protect Higashimatsuyama Yone in his arms, Kobayashi Itsuki couldn't be bothered with such unnecessary effort.
Anyway, no matter how they attacked, they couldn't break his defense.
Kobayashi Itsuki could clearly feel the impact of their fists landing on him, but the force was like that of kindergarten children; he felt absolutely no impact.
He didn't even feel a hint of pain, only a tingling sensation.
These guys posed no threat to Kobayashi Itsuki, but Kobayashi Itsuki was an entirely different story for them.
In the face of his current strength, these people truly were like kindergarten children.
They were completely helpless.
One punch could send a person flying several meters, and one kick could shatter bones!
For a time, figures in the corridor were tossed around like rag dolls, casually thrown by Kobayashi Itsuki.
"Thud!"
"Thud! Thud!"
Every step Kobayashi Itsuki took shook the ground, the heavy sound like a giant elephant stampeding.
Higashimatsuyama Yone, held in Kobayashi Itsuki's arms, watched everything unfold with wide eyes.
She truly couldn't imagine that Kobayashi Itsuki, whom she had always considered an ordinary person, could possess such astonishing skill!
He was practically a robot.
No one was his match.
Crushing!
Unstoppable!
Everyone else was filled with shock, but Kobayashi Itsuki's heart was currently filled with exhilaration.
This feeling was unprecedented.
As an ordinary person in his previous life, how could he have ever enjoyed such a feeling?
He couldn't possibly go to a kindergarten to bully children, could he?
That would surely land him in jail.
It was just like in his previous life, when many people enjoyed playing 'hack and slash' games where they were invincible.
It's just that now, Kobayashi Itsuki was playing 'hack and slash' in real life!
This kind of thrill was truly unparalleled.
The feeling of being invincible made Kobayashi Itsuki feel like a general commanding an army on an ancient battlefield.
The only thing he needed to pay attention to was to slightly hold back his strength.
He was strong, but if he were to blow someone's head off, that would be a bit too much.
Moreover, Kobayashi Itsuki didn't intend to make things too bloody.
If self-defense went too far, it wouldn't be good.
In just a few minutes, the corridor was littered with people sprawled everywhere.
At this moment, everyone finally reacted.
This man in front of them was simply too strong.
Some people who hadn't been knocked down yet subconsciously started searching for weapons in their pockets or from their surroundings.
Small knives the size of a palm, broken wine bottles, mops... various items were gripped tightly in their hands, as if this would allow them to deal with Kobayashi Itsuki, giving themselves courage.
However, this approach served no purpose other than self-deception.
Because just when they thought they had a chance to deal with Kobayashi Itsuki, the small knife poked at his body, but the sensation of being unable to penetrate even a millimeter left them dumbfounded.
When they pulled the knife back, the tip was bent.
The broken wine bottles shattered directly onto the floor.
The mop handle snapped directly into two pieces.
Yet, Kobayashi Itsuki, facing all of this, was completely unharmed.
The effect of the Elixir of Iron was fully displayed at this moment!
No damage!
It simply didn't break his defense!
Not even Kobayashi Itsuki's skin could be pierced in the slightest.
Kobayashi Itsuki protected Higashimatsuyama Yone, easily intercepted all attacks, and then knocked them all down, one punch per person.
In less than five minutes, besides Tamaoh Nakamure, there wasn't a single person standing in the corridor.
The floor was covered with unfortunate individuals, their limbs twisted or spines fractured, lying on the ground and constantly wailing.
Tamaoh Nakamure stood in the corridor full of "corpses," trembling as she watched Kobayashi Itsuki walk towards her.
She had initially thought he was a weakling.
It turned out he was a fierce tiger descending the mountain; she had completely kicked an iron plate.
"Kobayashi, Kobayashi-san, I think there might be some small misunderstanding between us, isn't that right?"
[Ding, Tamaoh Nakamure's ill will has increased, received blue treasure chest * 1.]
Tamaoh Nakamure chuckled dryly, speaking cautiously to Kobayashi Itsuki.
"Misunderstanding?"
"I don't think this is a misunderstanding at all."
While the potion's effect hadn't worn off, Kobayashi Itsuki wasn't planning to waste any more words.
He raised his hand, ready to strike Tamaoh Nakamure.
He needed to deal with these guys quickly; he still had to ask each of them for their names before the police arrived.
If he didn't know their names, he couldn't get treasure chests.
However, just as Kobayashi Itsuki made his move, a dull "thud" suddenly sounded.
"Clang!"
Kobayashi Itsuki staggered slightly, and a sharp pain shot from the back of his head.
Reaching up, he touched it, and a twisted metal bullet fell into his palm.
A bullet!
Seeing the object in his hand, Kobayashi Itsuki's eyes narrowed.
Kobayashi Itsuki, having grown up in a peaceful society in his previous life, had only seen such things during some extended training sessions in school when he shot a gun, and never again after that.
Especially not in relation to himself.
If it weren't for the Elixir of Iron, this bullet could have easily pierced his head, completely killing him, the transmigrator, in this world that belonged to him.
A wave of lingering fear welled up in his heart.
But besides that, an immense surge of anger, like a volcanic eruption, burst forth.
Between life and death, any living creature instinctively feels anger and struggles against those who want to kill them.
They will want to put the opponent to death!
As Kobayashi Itsuki turned his head, he saw a tall foreigner in the corner of the corridor, holding a gun and aiming at him.
And on his face, just like Tamaoh Nakamure and the others, there was a deep look of shock, as if he couldn't believe why a shot aimed at the head had no effect whatsoever.
Kobayashi Itsuki's eyes flashed with anger. He pulled open an empty private room in the adjacent corridor, pushed the unharmed Higashimatsuyama Yone inside, then lifted Tamaoh Nakamure and threw her in heavily.
"Watch her, I'll be right back."
Kobayashi Itsuki said in a deep voice, not even looking at Tamaoh Nakamure, who was sprawled on the floor, dazed and almost unconscious from the fall.
He turned and ran towards the end of the corridor.
If he remembered correctly, the appearance of that guy should be Hecson, who possessed mind-reading abilities in the original work.
This guy not only possessed mind-reading abilities, but he could also accurately locate his target using just a map, even if the target was moving.
Besides that, he also possessed extremely strong close-quarters combat abilities.
