"Just like what Rachel said, every single one of them is scared out of their wits."
Kieran looked at the man in the white robe and sighed softly.
Although the system had covered his face, the man's outfit didn't match the few that Rachel emphasized on.
Especially his aura, although it was in the Advance Rank, it wasn't that strong.
Early Transcendence was the man's position.
Another position?
Either a pawn or cannon fodder was suitable for him.
Following his Spirit reaching V-, Kieran's Intuition didn't increase but it was greatly affected. Within his original range of Intuition, he could sense things clearer and more meticulous.
Of course, the clarity and meticulousness wasn't enough for him to identify the items in the man's bag. Therefore, Kieran still walked towards the man with utmost caution.
He didn't want to fail miserably at a simple task.
"The Flaming Devil?"
Kieran didn't know the man but the man knew Kieran.
The moment the words escaped his mouth, the man instinctively stepped back.
In the big city, Kieran was considered the most popular person in the recent few months, he had slowly overshadowed the older batch of people.
The newbies and veterans who just entered the big city might not know or forget about the hidden Broker, but they definitely knew about the Flame Lord, the Flaming Devil.
The road to fame that was paved by piles of bodies.
It was enough to make anyone panic.
The man before Kieran was no exception.
Among the hostages that the man wanted to capture were Coll, Hanses, Blair, Garwen, and even Raven the Loner, Lemour the Alchemist, and the best target, Lawless. But not 2567.
In fact, the name 2567 was something that the man couldn't afford to offend.
It was also because of the name that the man had more rewards.
However, it didn't stop him from choosing …
Run!
That's right, run!
The moment he saw Kieran, the man had such a plan in mind.
As an Agility high-ranker, he had absolute confidence in his speed. He believed that after increasing the distance between him and Kieran, he would be able to escape.
However, the moment he turned around, a cold glint shot out from the shadow where he was.
"What is it?"
Against [Dandelion Pierce]'s ambush, as a high-ranker, he displayed the strength he should have. He paused his steps and turned around, completely dodging [Dandelion Pierce]'s attack.
Unfortunately, he only managed to dodge [Dandelion's Pierce]'s ambush, the palm that followed up wasn't something he could dodge no matter what.
Kieran grabbed the hair in front of the man's forehead and pulled it down. The returning [Dandelion's Pierce] grazed the man's exposed neck.
For Kieran, who had been using [Dandelion Pierce] for a long time, the combination was like a walk in the park for him.
Puff!
As blood spurted out, the man's head was still in Kieran's hand, and his body slowly fell to the ground.
[Player Killed Jerry …]
[Authenticated as active attack!]
[It's a brutal kill!]
[You will receive all the Points and Skill Points of the player …]
[Total: 2,000 Points and 5 Skill Points]
[Received the player's house key]
[Granted the right to use the player's house]
[All the player's belongings will be returned to the player's house]
[Brutal Kill: 186]
…
When the system notification popped up, the man's body turned into white light, even the spurting blood vanished into thin air.
However, a figure appeared behind Kieran, in front of Harvest Inn's door.
"You are that woman's trump card?
"Not enough!"
"It's really not enough!"
A man who wasn't tall but had an extremely valiant aura said slowly when he saw Kieran turn around. As he spoke, he shook his head as if he was sighing. Following the shaking of his head, the sword, dagger, scimitar, double-headed sword, throwing knife, darts and all sorts of other weapons on his body gave out a clear clanking noise, like the tinkling of a wind chime but it had more killing intent.
"Barkel?"
Kieran asked to confirm.
"Run.
"While I'm not planning to kill you yet."
But the other bastards are still guarding the area.
I don't know whether they will chase after you or not. "
The man laughed coldly.
Even more so, Kieran could sense that the man's attention was still on the door of Harvest Inn.
It seemed like the man was still concerned about Rachel.
As for Kieran?
He wasn't in the man's attention.
Although he had an astonishing battle record, every player who could make a name for themselves in the big city was the same.
Especially the players who were active during the Witch's Chaos era, the players who made a name for themselves and survived.
When they faced other players, they seemed to have a natural sense of superiority.
They thought the newer players were a bunch of fledglings that hadn't experienced the wind and rain, even if there was a new high-ranker among them.
In Kieran's heart, he was filled with gratitude!
He was filled with gratitude!
Other than a dead enemy, what else was better than running into an enemy that looked down on you?
Especially when the enemy had a high net worth.
Barkel the Robber was known for his greed.
The enemies were brazenly robbing and occupying the players' Points, Skill Points, and items.
The rules of the big city allowed him to be like a fish in water.
If he didn't run into Rachel, he would have a bigger reputation and wealth.
With that thought in mind, Kieran couldn't help but sigh.
Kieran didn't care about reputation.
Kieran was very interested in the items that Barkel used.
Therefore, Kieran's eyes were burning with passion.
Just look at the weapons on Barkel!
Among the dozens of weapons, a single glance told Kieran that they were at least Rare rank, not even Legendary rank. There was even one that should be in the Advance Rank.
A treasure vault!
A moving treasure vault!
Kieran gave a new comment on the man right away.
At the same time, the burning gaze in his eyes grew hotter.
Even those without sharp senses would feel uncomfortable under Kieran's burning gaze, let alone a Chosen One like Barkel.
Besides, Barkel was very familiar with the burning gaze.
Whenever he saw something he wanted, he would have a similar look in his eyes.
Get it!
Own it!
Own it!
The voice kept echoing in Barkel's ears.
Unfortunately, he couldn't carry out his thoughts in the Union.
But in the big city?
He had always been following his nature.
This feeling …
It was great!
He had forgotten himself.
However, it didn't mean he would be merciful to others who had the same gaze.
On the contrary, if he met anyone with the same gaze.
He would make them suffer a horrible death.
Like repels like.
From a certain aspect, it was suitable for most situations.
"Your gaze really annoys me."
"I hate you so much that I want to kill you!"
Barkel said so and did exactly what he said.
A powerful binding force appeared on Kieran's body out of nowhere, causing Kieran's vision to show a Strength and Spirit authentication.
The former failed.
The latter easily passed.
All Kieran had to do was shake his shoulder and he could break free, but he didn't budge at all. He watched as the weapons on the man's body flew out like arrows, flying towards him and surrounding him tightly.
Kieran squinted his eyes at Barkel when he felt the sharpness of the weapons.
Barkel stared back at Kieran without avoiding his gaze.
Barkel said in a ridiculing tone.
"No!
"You're a pretty good bargaining chip!"
I will use your screams to lure that b * tch out! "
As Barkel spoke, the weapons got closer to Kieran, but most of them avoided fatal spots, only a few were aimed at Kieran's weak spots.
Barkel laughed viciously.
"I've changed my mind again!
I'll make you scream with my own hands! "
Facing Kieran who was' waiting to be captured ', Barkel raised his hand and grabbed a flying sword in his hand before charging at Kieran.
However, a diamond-shaped gemstone appeared in Barkel's other hand.
Barkel looked down on Kieran.
It was the truth.
In Barkel's eyes, how could a newbie who had never experienced fear be called a King or a Devil? It was a joke.
However, it didn't mean Barkel wouldn't be wary of the newbie's tricks.
One needed to know, the Chosen One wasn't as simple as it sounded.
Strangeness and power were the true colors of the 'Chosen One'.
However, it was also because of that, their weakness was very obvious.
As long as the weakness was located, everything would be easy to deal with.
Therefore, when Barkel charged towards Kieran, he placed more than 90% of his attention on the small door of the inn behind him.
He believed the gemstone in his hand was enough to fend off anyone weaker than him.
On top of that, he was imagining the helplessness and panic on Kieran's face when he faced the unstoppable 'restriction'.
It would be best if he could scream one or two more times.
That would be perfect!
He knew with that woman's character, she wouldn't leave him in the lurch. She would surely appear.
However, to Barkel's disappointment, when he was in front of Kieran and his sword was about to pierce Kieran, the small door of the inn didn't budge at all.
"Seems like you aren't as important as Lawless!
But, it doesn't matter. As long as she screams, she can … How is this possible?! "
Barkel's screams came from his mouth, and at the next moment, the screams came.
Unfortunately, the screams came from his mouth.
While speaking in disbelief, Barkel looked down at the diamond-shaped gemstone in his hand. Countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared on it, his eyes filled with horror. Then …
Pak!
Bang!
The gemstone shattered, together with Barkel's head.
The weapons surrounding Kieran fell to the ground one after another. Kieran slightly moved his feet, grazing the headless body and letting it fall to the ground.
Pak!
The body on the ground disintegrated into light particles.
All the weapons on the ground vanished as well.
However, Kieran's eyes showed a sense of astonishment.
He felt a slight throbbing in his heart.
It was the throbbing of Greed.
The throbbing was unfamiliar to him. Before his Spirit reached V-, he wouldn't have noticed it no matter what.
However, when his Spirit reached V-, it became easy.
In that dream-like dream, Kieran clearly saw Pride, Sloth, and Gluttony break through the wall. Kieran had some guesses about the three of them that were different from the others.
At the same time, he was also looking forward to the remaining Greed, Envy, Wrath, and Lust.
Kieran even came up with a preliminary plan for the three of them.
However, the throbbing of Greed at that moment allowed Kieran to have more thoughts.
"Maybe it will be smoother than I thought!"
As Kieran added to his plan, he looked at the end of the street.
A few presences quickly hid themselves and vanished.
Barkel's death had frightened these fellows who had been hiding like rats.
Kieran frowned.
When he accepted Rachel's request, the rats became his spoils of war. However, the throbbing of Greed messed up his plan.
But even if he had to do it again.
Kieran would still choose to notice the throbbing in his heart.
The previous dream had given him a deeper understanding of his own body, even though he already had a clear understanding of himself.
The core!
Everything revolved around the core!
Only the existence of the core was the source of power!
As for the others?
All of them served the core.
Of course, there was another important reason. Kieran had gotten rewards that far exceeded his expectations from Barkel.
[You've killed player Barkel!]
[Treated as self-defense through authentication]
[Categorized as an Honor Kill]
[You will receive all the Points and Skill Points of the player …]
[Total: 500000 Points and 70 Skill Points]
[Received the player's house key]
[Granted the right to use the player's house]
[All the player's belongings are returned to the player's house]
[Honor Kill: 118]
…
The rewards that far exceeded his expectations made Kieran curl his lips into a grin.
The moment he saw Barkel, Kieran knew it would be a bountiful harvest, but he didn't expect it to be even more bountiful than he expected.
In the big city, even a high-ranker would rarely store a large amount of Points and Skill Points on him. After all, Points and Skill Points represented one's strength.
Besides, compared to equipment and items, skills that could be exchanged with Points and Skill Points were much more reliable.
"Is it to level up a certain skill?
Or is it to buy something?
Or is it … "
Kieran didn't know why Barkel would accumulate so many Points and Skill Points and not exchange them for corresponding skills or equipment or items.
There were too many possibilities, even Kieran couldn't pinpoint the most likely one.
Besides, it wouldn't cost him that much effort.
All he needed to know was that the Points and Skill Points, including Barkel's equipment and items, were all his.
Kieran was eager to go to Barkel's room and see what kind of spoils of war Barkel would leave for him.
However, he didn't forget another important matter.
