Chapitre 8: Chapter 6
There was no need to spare the trash. I did not want to see those trash any longer. While Jonghyuk may not have seen what I had seen with a servant's senses. There was no need to spare the trash.
My feet lurched as space warped. The light flickered as the the gigantic insects from above stormed through the city. In that instant I took advantage of the flicker to kill as many as possible without causing mayhem. The mayhem could wait after the trash was disposed.
The pieces of crap in human form all found theirselves looking at their own body. There was no need to drag it out. My blade flashed as Norimune cut through flesh and bone like butter. One cut and then moving onto the other before the previous head would fall.
One by one I dispatched them with utter efficiency. Empty, I felt empty. Taking the trash out roused nothing in me. At this point I was the empty husk that I always had been.
Multiple thuds were heard behind me as I acknowledged that I needed to go slightly faster.
"GH!" I stopped and keeled over as I coughed, the taste of iron in my throat and the blood on my hand. One of the offenders had come to his senses and lunged at me. Even if my weak constitution acted up, his chances of winning? Zero.
Norimune flipped around with a spin of my wrist before piercing his throat and exiting his head.
It was not as bad as before. My weak constitution was still there, even after my skill had ascended to [Absolute Sword] [A].
It just reduced the chance of [Weak Constitution] activating.
[The constellations are shocked by your skill. They still are wishing that the filter would not block your conversation from before.]
[The constellations of the absolute good system nod at your judgment.]
[A few constellations laugh at your humanity.]
"I was nothing more than a killing machine then."
[The constellations have sponsored you 500 coins.]
"I'm more rich?" [700 Coins Total]
Yoo Jonghyuk caught up as I wiped the blood off my hands with the clothes of the man I had just killed. The oppressed and fearful people had come around only to notice that the tyrants had been killed. "Is this your way of helping them?"
I shook my head "I can't help people anymore than they are willing to help themselves. I simply just couldn't stand at the injustice and as a byproduct, carved them a new future that would be dependent on their choices."
Jonghyuk nodded "I see why they call you the Fearless Blade."
"I never really liked that nickname" I told him.
"Hey, Jonghyuk. You know where we should be going right?"
He nodded as I smiled "Then lead the way!" His face gained a tick mark on his forehead as I pushed him in front.
"Forward!"
"Eh?!"
[A scenario penalty has been added.]
[From now on, food stockpiling is limited.]
[All existing stockpiled food has disappeared.]
Yoo Jonghyuk smirked at me while my packaged curry and grilled corn disappeared. He really thought I wouldn't notice his face?
"You gloomy! You knew this would happen didn't you!"
I shook the empty bag in front of his face as the smirk stretched even wider.
[A scenario penalty has been added.]
[The 'survival cost' clause has been added.]
[From now on, 100 coins will be deducted every night for the "survival cost". If you can't pay the "survival cost", you will die.]
[The "survival cost" penalty will be maintained until the second main scenario is cleared.]
*KUH*
I coughed out metaphorical blood as I stared at the screen. 100 Coins each night just to survive?
[700 Coins Total]
I raised my finger shakily. "That's seven nights... 100 Coins each night. I can only live for seven nights!?"
Jonghyuk did not bother but instead had the widest smirk I had ever seen so far. It must be him enjoying this situation after his sixth sense "training".
The railways seemed to be deserted, at least until those green eyes glowed in the dark. "You should go handle them." I was not going to deal with this. Actually...
"Constellations! (Read as: Money Bags) Would any constellation be willing to allow a bet to gain coins? If so, I'll show the pinnacle of swordsmanship and you must back it up in value."
[The constellation "Prisoner of the Golden Headband" smiles with glee.]
[A new sub scenario has arrived!]
I smiled as well while giving a thumbs up to the sky.
[Second Scenario – Challenge Accepted!]
Category: Sub
Difficulty: C
Clear Conditions: Show your swordsmanship, the swordsmanship shown will be compensated with equal value. Your target will be arriving soon.
Time Limit: None
Compensation: Conditional
Failure: Forced Sponsorship
It was like that huh? "Sorry Kojiro-san, I've been reduced to show a technique capable of challenging the gods to earn my daily keep. I'm sorry."
Jonghyuk stopped his slaughter spree as he stared at the incoming giant tunnel rat.
My breath stilled as I concentrated with Norimune raised parallel to the ground pointing ahead.
"Hiken."
[The constellations are looking with baited breathes.]
[The constellation "Secretive Plotter" is almost floating off his chair.]
[200 Coins have been sponsored]
The rat entered the range as I achieved the dimension refraction phenomenon.
"Tsubame Gaeshi!"
In that instant three slashes existed with three swords despite only one sword existing prior. A spiral wave that cut down all escape routes. Something only a god would be able to escape from.
A technique that challenged the gods with pure skill and nothing more. A skill born from the determination to slay a swallow.
All escape routes were blocked as the spiral reached the rat before dissecting it into three different pieces.
[The constellations are in uproar.]
[The constellation "Prisoner of the Golden Headband" is going crazy as he can not possible have enough to equal the value of what he has seen.]
[The constellation "Prisoner of the Golden Headband" is asking if it is okay to have an IOU]
I smiled "No problem! Do your best my friend!"
[4000 Coins have been sponsored as a down payment.]
[4900 Coins total.]
[You have unlocked a new achievement "Constellation Creditor" for putting a constellation in your debt.]
"Okita-san Daishouri!"
[The constellation "Prisoner of the Golden Headband" is crying.]
