Feeling the wind behind him, Kieran, who had been waiting for a long time, did not change his crouching position. Instead, he pushed himself off the ground with his right hand and kicked backwards with both legs.
Pak! Bang!
Kieran's kicks landed on the attacker's wrist, which was holding the dagger, and on his chest.
How could he determine what kind of weapon the attacker was holding?
Distance!
The distance between the attacker and Kieran was enough for Kieran to determine what kind of weapon the attacker was using.
The invisible attacker, who had been kicked in the chest by Kieran, was sent flying backwards by the tremendous force.
His clothes were scorched by the flames.
There was a faint burnt smell in the air.
Intense pain spread throughout the attacker's body from his chest to his chest.
However, the pain was nothing compared to the fear in his heart.
The man revealed himself from his invisible state and looked at Kieran with an inconceivable gaze.
The moment the police siren had sounded, the invisible attacker had unleashed his long-awaited attack.
The invisible attacker had thought that Kieran would be distracted by the siren, which would give him a chance to land a fatal blow.
Therefore, when he was sent flying by the incoming Flaming Kick, the invisible reporter's heart was filled with shock.
"You … When did you notice?"
The pain made the man's words a little incoherent.
Kieran had no intention of replying. Instead, he stepped forward and kicked the attacker again.
Bang!
Like a spear, Kieran's right foot landed on the attacker's throat.
The invisible attacker's neck was crushed, and he fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
After a quick glance at the body, which did not drop any loot, Kieran walked towards the weapon that he had kicked away.
He already had two members of the Drifter Society in his hands.
He did not need any more captives.
Moreover, he did not know what kind of person he was dealing with. If he was not careful enough, he could easily lose the battle. Kieran did not want to die because he talked too much.
The best enemy was always a dead one.
[Name: Hatch's Curse]
[Type: Sword Weapon]
[Rarity: Magic]
[Attack: Average]
[Attributes: Hatred]
[Effects: None]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]
[Prerequisite: Sharp Weapon (Master)]
[Remarks: Gilfren Hatch accidentally created it when he was learning alchemy. Although he wanted to recreate it, he never succeeded.]
…
[Hatred: When a physical attack is performed, it will exhaust the durability of the item as a price to unleash an attack power that far exceeds the level of the item itself.]
(Note: The attack level will be based on the item itself. The wielder's strength and skills will be secondary.)
…
Kieran was taken aback when he picked up the palm-sized sword, which had sharp blades on both sides and was completely dull.
Because the result was beyond his expectations.
"It's not the Drifter Society, it's the Hatch Heresy …"
Kieran looked at the description of Gilfren Hatch.
He would never forget this half-dead and the organization he had established.
Since the prison doctor Fenkes had become the new leader of Hatch Heresy, Kieran couldn't ignore the organization anymore.
However, the structure of the Hatch Heresy Cult was too unique.
Most of the members were commoners who had been deceived, and some of the higher-ups were just scammers.
Nikorei could easily lock onto the whereabouts of these people.
However, Fenkes was not one of them.
None of them knew where Fenkes was.
"He's been masked by some special method!"
Nikorei had told Kieran after she had volunteered to help Kieran.
Since he could not rely on Nikorei to track Fenkes down, nor could he get any information from anyone else, Kieran had no choice but to use his original method to lure Fenkes out.
Kieran had not expected Fenkes to be so intense that he had even sent out an assassin.
It was an assassin with a special ability.
"Is Dr. Fenkes really another one of Gilfren Hatch's spies?"
Kieran wondered as he frowned.
In his memory, the man had always been an amiable, elderly man.
He was also the only person on Alcatraz who had left a good impression on Kieran.
Besides, there were a lot of things that did not make sense.
If Dr. Fenkes was really Gilfren Hatch's spy, they would not have been able to deal with the situation as easily as they had been in the past.
Whether it was the poisoning incident in the cafeteria or the infirmary, Fenkes had a lot of chances to turn the situation around.
"Something must have happened that I don't know!"
Kieran thought as he looked at the weapon in his hand again.
He was curious about the [Hatred] attribute of the weapon.
It was the first time Kieran had seen a weapon that sacrificed durability to increase its attack.
Although it could only be used once, the system's description was enough to prove that its attack would not disappoint him.
After Kieran carefully put the weapon away, he saw shadows moving outside. A series of footsteps could be heard, followed by loud shouts.
"Don't move!
Put your hands up! "
A group of police officers rushed in and pointed their guns at Kieran.
Kieran raised his hands cooperatively.
"Hey, I was just defending myself!
They are the attackers! "
Kieran said.
None of the police officers dared let down their guard after Kieran's words. Their eyes were wide open as they stared at Kieran.
After all, there was only one person standing in the middle of a pile of dead bodies and heavily injured people.
"Everyone, I am the boss of this place!
I can testify that this gentleman here was defending himself! "
Simones walked out of the room with his hands up in the air so as not to cause any misunderstandings.
However, his words only made some of the police officers point their guns at Simones.
"Tsk, if you guys had the same determination to fight these attackers, they would have been cleared out of this city long ago!"
Simones could not help but shrug at Kieran when he saw the muzzle pointing at him.
The standoff continued until Schmidt walked in.
"Fine!
Special circumstances, special treatment!
I'll take over this place! "
Schmidt said to the police officers after a quick glance at Kieran and Simones. He then turned his attention back to Kieran.
"If you don't mind, let's go to my new office.
"You can tell me everything I want to know from there."
Schmidt said.
"No problem!"
Kieran nodded.
...
"The Special Operation Group?
"Leader Schmidt?"
Third floor underground of the police station. As soon as Kieran stepped out of the elevator, a special sign appeared in front of him.
The sign was erected on the ground. It wasn't big, only the size of a small coffee table.
However, the words on the sign caught Kieran's attention.
Kieran read it out loud.
"Thanks to the Drifter Society, I've been promoted!
"They can be considered my new subordinates!"
The director sent them here! "
As he spoke, he pointed at the people around him who all had different appearances.
Kieran sized them up.
There were old people, children, and even some young people in strange outfits.
Although they all looked different, all of them had one thing in common: they were all weird.
"Your director obviously doesn't know what a special person is!"
Simones could not help but ask when Kieran did not answer.
"But this is already the best candidate the director could find!"
Fortunately, I don't have to rely on them most of the time! "
Schmidt led Kieran and Simones into his new office.
It was at least four to five times bigger than his old office.
The decorations were a little rough, but the equipment was complete.
"Routine. I need to know what just happened."
Schmidt sat down in his chair and started to ask questions.
Kieran did not hide anything. He told Schmidt everything that had happened, except for the Hatch Heresy.
After that, Kieran and Simones left the police station with Schmidt. The two of them returned to the Celestial Garden.
"Damn it!"
Simones cursed again as he looked at the messy shop that had been cordoned off.
Kieran, on the other hand, was staring at a person who had appeared outside the cordoned off area.
It was someone he had not expected to see.
