The malicious gazes that were hidden in the crowd made Kieran feel like there was a dagger on his back.
However, Kieran walked to the front of the crowd like he didn't feel anything. He was around 3 meters away from the crowd, the distance between danger and safety.
"I think we should add one more line to the test!
I just heard a … "
"Kill!"
Before Kieran could finish, a loud shout interrupted him. Three of Kieran's targets that were hidden in the crowd made their moves at the same time.
Bang!
Bang!
Gunshots sounded almost at the same time. Two lead bullets were fired at Kieran's heart and forehead.
A figure jumped up high and smashed the spiked mace in his hand down with the force of Mt. Tai, as if he wanted to smash Kieran into meat paste.
The surrounding people were all stunned, and then, with nimble movements, they dispersed.
They were watching the sudden incident as if they were watching a drama.
Only Bill and Cass cried out in shock.
"Careful!"
They warned Kieran who was standing still.
Was he scared out of his wits?
The two of them couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.
Many of the mercenaries and bounty hunters who came to apply for the job shared the same thought. Their faces even curled up into a sneering smile, blaming themselves for being scared by the situation just now.
For these people, death was a normal occurrence.
As long as it wasn't their own death, everything would be fine.
Among the crowd, only the candidate with the red earlobe looked calm.
The man's deep eyes were looking at Kieran with a probing gaze.
At the next moment, the probing gaze was filled with shock.
The mercenaries and bounty hunters widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
Two lead bullets were fired precisely at the target.
However, it was useless.
Kieran was standing there unscathed.
Those with better eyesight could even see the deformed shape of the lead bullets due to the impact.
Impenetrable?!
Gasp!
The crowd gasped one after another.
However, the sound of inhaling came to an abrupt halt.
A crescent-shaped Qi energy slashed out from Kieran's raised left leg, appearing in front of everyone.
Whoosh!
The energy flew up into the air, and the person who was attacking from mid-air with the pressure of Mt. Tai was unable to resist and was cut in half by the energy.
Green blood sprinkled down from the sky.
But it did not fall on Kieran.
At this time, Kieran had already appeared in front of the other party's accomplice, his right leg kicking out continuously.
Layers and layers of leg shadows completely enveloped the two targets.
Bang, bang, bang!
Amidst the continuous sounds of attacks, two figures were sent flying. Their bodies were twisted, and their bones were all broken. They fell in front of Herbert's door and twitched for a moment before they stopped breathing.
Ah!
The mercenaries and bounty hunters around cried out in surprise again.
It was not only because of Kieran's strength, but also because of the faces of the two people.
His face, which looked as if it had been burnt, was truly astonishing.
Especially when the corpse began to melt, it sent chills down their spines.
"I knew it!"
Kieran was calm as he checked his battlelog.

…
"Not a bad buff!"
Kieran nodded as he glanced over the + 1 Attack from [Hand-to-Hand Combat]'s Common Choice: Transcendence Kicks.
Although it was only + 1, according to the attack level, it was enough to raise a Strong to a Powerful level.
Maybe it was because of the way the user used it, so the actual damage was reduced.
Still, it was worthy of the Common rating.
Kieran looked at the green liquid and the glowing spiked mace.
When he heard Herbert talking about the Night Monsters, he instinctively guessed that there might be such monsters mixed in with the rest of the monsters.
After all, Calkin and his wagoner had been replaced by the Night Race, yet they had still appeared in Herbert's house. Although it seemed like they were inviting Kieran, Kieran knew that the monsters' target should have been Herbert.
As for why the Night Race knew everything that had happened to Calkin in Herbert's house?
Calkin was not a tough nut to crack.
Some interrogation would have been enough to make him spill everything.
On top of that, the Night Race might have been spying on Kieran, who had only met him once. It was too easy for the Night Race to replace Calkin.
Kieran had some guesses as to why the Night Race had targeted Herbert.
"The Night Race had once ravaged the coast of the Neegor Dynasty, but they were eventually wiped out by the Neegor Dynasty's army!"
That was what Herbert had said.
The Neegor Dynasty had long since disappeared in the river of time. They had even been treated as legends.
However, the Night Race's existence was proof that the Neegor Dynasty still existed.
They had once wiped out the Night Race on a large scale.
According to Herbert, the Neegor Dynasty had appeared 1,500 years ago. Back then, there had been no gunpowder or flintlock pistols. They had relied on cold weapons.
The Night Race had an advantage when it came to cold weapons.
In the previous battle, the Night Race had displayed extraordinary strength, speed, and tough skin. It was as if they were born with a layer of leather armor.
The Night Race's Intuition had exceeded Kieran's expectations.
His conversation with Herbert had taken place in the courtyard. Not only was there a wall separating the courtyard from the outside, but there was also a distance of 50 meters between them. Even with his + 1 Intuition, Kieran could barely make out the conversation. The content of the conversation had been blurry.
However, based on the Night Race's performance, they had heard everything clearly.
Against such a monster, even an army would not be able to stop it.
Before one could even get close, the Night Race's Intuition would allow them to escape.
If they ran into smaller groups, the Night Race could rely on their own strength to wipe them out.
That was why when the Neegor Dynasty had wiped out the Night Race, they had not created a way for the Night Race to outnumber the Night Race.
In other words, he had created a weapon that could naturally suppress the Night Race monsters.
Based on the Night Race's performance, it was the latter.
Otherwise, they would not have needed to get close to Herbert, a scholar of the Neegor Dynasty.
Based on that...
It was very likely that there was such a weapon in Isogu City!
Of course, it was also possible that the Neegor Dynasty had one or more powerful beings who could single-handedly kill all the Night Race monsters.
However, if there really was such an expert, why would the Neegor Empire be destroyed in a single night?
As he thought about it, he picked up the glowing green spiked mace.
