142
I was a Max Level Returner-142
Numerous obstacles and roads blocked my path, but I overcame them all without any hindrance.
Frankly, I couldn’t see anything else.
With my island on fire, I couldn’t afford to worry about anything else.
I almost collided with a car speeding on the road, and I could only feel sorry for the driver.
“Kyahahaha! Hahaha!”
“Are these bastards really crazy?”
Arriving at ‘Krones Island,’ the closest to Krivia Island, I saw the guys doing insane things.
After their piracy failed, they were moving around on a speedboat, setting my island on fire.
It seemed they had an Awakened one who could control flames, as they were flying flames everywhere and setting fires.
Palm trees, bushes, beautiful flowers.
The precious nature of my island was senselessly disappearing due to the pirates’ venting and pranks.
“They really had the nerve to mess with my private property.”
I was already seeing nothing but red.
The ship they were moving on was quite a large speedboat.
The ship’s exterior was heavily armed with what appeared to be magic bullet guns, and there was even a guy with a bazooka.
Although they were conventional weapons, they were weapons with firepower that was perfect for causing chaos.
Pow! Pow!
Lowering my body as much as possible and leaping at a low altitude, I quickly closed the distance with the guys.
The ship they were on could wait.
I needed to thoroughly crush the guys who had landed on the island and were setting fires.
Recognition? Mercy? Give it to the dogs.
Since they were defined as ‘pirates’ anyway, each of them had a bounty on their heads.
Moreover, depending on the circumstances, there would be no legal punishment even if they were killed.
Being classified as a pirate meant.
It was a kind of mark indicating that they had been committing notorious murder, robbery, rape, and violence.
The next moment.
Arriving behind the pirate who was gleefully causing trouble, I tapped him on the shoulder.
“Hey.”
“What?”
“You’re meeting the Grim Reaper, you son of a bitch.”
Thwack!
Boom!
“Ugh…!”
With the fastest and most powerful footwork in the world, I accurately kicked the pirate between his legs.
It was a furious shot, kicking with all my might, determined to send this guy to the end of the universe.
Once wasn’t enough to vent my anger.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
I immediately followed up with three consecutive kicks.
Then, I felt an emptiness from my toes, a sense that there was ‘nothing’ left to burst out of him.
“Kuhuhuhu….”
Thud!
The pirate, whose vital spot had been attacked as an example, collapsed forward, unconscious.
And like a bug that had ingested a lot of insecticide, he didn’t even think about moving, wriggling in place.
“It’s an Awakened from the kingdom! Take him down!”
The four pirates who had landed on the island mistook me for an Awakened from the kingdom the moment they saw me and rushed in bravely.
It seemed they were mistaken because it was dusk and their visibility was poor.
Judging by the fact that they rushed in, assuming I was an Awakened from the Kingdom, the level of Awakened in the Rolana Kingdom didn’t seem very high.
Flash!
Using the Blink Ring, I immediately appeared in front of one of them. He was a bald Awakened.
“Eek!”
Despite the considerable distance, the bald man looked flustered when I appeared right in front of him.
Thud!
I immediately grabbed the back of his head.
To make sure I knocked out his teeth properly, his head needed to be supported. Otherwise, his neck bones would fly off.
Crack!
A fist swung with all my might.
With that one blow, the bald man lost all the teeth he had.
Because the fist that struck the center of his lips crushed all the dangling teeth.
“Keugeogeog.”
The bald man staggered, spitting out an unidentified liquid mixed with blood and teeth.
Without even looking, I firmly clasped my hands together and slammed them down on the back of the bald man’s head, who had bowed his head, unconscious.
Whack!
Thwack!
That was the end.
The guy who had buried his face in the muddy floor at the same time as the impact couldn’t move a single inch and passed out.
Of course, I didn’t forget to step on the back of his head as a final confirmation while moving towards the other guys.
“…….”
Judging from the fact that there was no reaction even then, he must have been dead or had lost his mind.
What remained were the white-haired and blonde pirates.
They had styled themselves with a two-block cut and dye, but their appearance was nothing but ugly.
“Damn it…….”
“Who are you?”
The frightened guys slowly backed away and began to ask for my identity.
If they ask, it’s polite to tell them for sure.
Since they’re going to die anyway, they shouldn’t feel unfairly treated on their way to the afterlife.
“Me? I’m the owner of this island. The owner of Krones Island, Kang Shin-hwa.”
“What, what did you say? Kang Shin-hwa? Could it be that……?”
“Oh my! Thank you for recognizing me, really. That’s that, now, are you ready to die?”
“Damn it, let’s run away!”
The two guys, the two-block cut brothers, started running away as soon as they confirmed my identity.
If they were going to run away like this, they should have run away sooner. Why set fire to an innocent island?
I’m sorry, but I had no intention of letting any of these guys go back, including the ones watching the fire from the nearby speedboat. The one who ordered it, the one who watched, the one who did it. They’re all accomplices.
‘They’re small fry.’
I thought, leisurely catching up with the two-block cut brothers.
These guys are just rookies around E-rank at best.
“Kill him!”
“Eeeek!”
Still, knowing that I was following them, they tried to aim at me, wielding their weapons with all their might, as if they were Awakened.
It was a pretty cool counterattack, showing some variation with twisting movements while bending over.
But all these movements looked like slow motion to me.
It was the worst attack that I couldn’t even feel the value of enduring because it was too slow and clumsy even if I wanted to.
“You guys aren’t even worth a combo.”
Pow! Pow!
I quickly struck the faces of the two guys with explosive punches, dividing it into exactly two attacks.
Thanks to maximizing the acceleration with Transcendental Acceleration, the guys didn’t even know they had been hit by my explosive punches.
“Cough……!”
“Ugh!”
The two-block cut brothers fell backward in order, their heads cracking open.
They must have passed out without even seeing it.
I’m so fast that they won’t even know what attack they were hit by until someone tells them.
“Damn bastards.”
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Turning around, I saw more than 10 palm trees burning fiercely.
The only fortunate thing was that the wind was blowing towards the coast, so there was little chance of the fire spreading inland.
But I couldn’t bear the fact that they had scarred my island, which was more precious than my own home.
“…….”
With the tip of my index finger, I pointed to a guy watching this place from the deck of the speedboat as if he was watching a fire.
He was obviously the leader of these pirates.
Sunglasses and messy tattoos all over his arms. He’s trying to look cool.
“Today, you’re all dead.”
I gestured to cut my throat with my thumb towards the leader who met my eyes.
It was a more certain death sentence than a hundred words.
* * *
“Boss! He’s rushing this way! What should we do?”
“What do you mean, what should we do, you moron! Magic bullet guns, bazookas, pour them all out without holding back! He’s just one guy!”
Leader Asher shouted.
As Shin-hwa expected, Asher was a pirate belonging to the Revengers.
Of course, he was by no means a pirate belonging to the Revengers’ ‘Invincible Armada’ that roamed the oceans. They used warships.
But he was a reasonably skilled pirate who was allowed to fly the Revengers’ flag.
Since all the pirates were composed of Awakened ones, it was enough to have a speedboat that could move quickly.
It was possible to satisfy greed with hit-and-run guerrilla looting.
In particular, they had a lot of fun targeting Awakened ones who were waiting in coastal dungeons to distribute their loot.
However, things hadn’t gone well today, so they were really just thinking of setting a fire and running away…….
They met a crazy guy and things went strangely wrong. Of course, it was just a matter of killing one guy quickly.
Tutatatata!
Kwaaaaa!
Magic bullet guns and bazookas spewed fire.
At the same time, the pirates on the deck showed off their respective talents and aimed at Shin-hwa’s body, a single target.
But.
“No……?”
“He’s just enduring that?”
Everyone’s expectations that they wouldn’t be able to survive the pouring concentrated fire were dashed.
“No, what kind of talent is that? What kind of talent is it that he’s just taking that in the air?”
Asher was shocked.
Shin-hwa’s body, which had reached its peak, was clearly an easy target for anyone to aim at, but.
Thud! Thwack!
The magic bullet gun strikes and bazooka attacks, which had been fired with considerable firepower, were all in vain.
The bullets and shells that had been futilely blocked by the liquidized talent were falling down.
Asher had often seen cases where an Awakened one strengthened their body into the form of stone or steel to block attacks.
That was within the expected range.
But this method of receiving attacks while the entire body was wriggling like a single liquid organism.
It was a perfect variable that he had never imagined even in his dreams, let alone in his head.
“No way…….”
The words uttered by one of the pirates caused a huge backlash.
The moment Shin-hwa’s damage converged to 0 despite pouring out a burst of firepower, the pirates’ faces turned pale.
Their minds went blank for a moment.
In the meantime.
Boom!
Shin-hwa had already landed on the deck of the speedboat.
It only took Shin-hwa a few seconds to close the distance of several hundred meters.
Right then.
Whoosh! Boom!
One of the shells, which was aimed in the wrong direction from the moment it was fired, set fire to the island.
It was the ‘worst’ result, scattering numerous sparks on two palm trees and the surrounding bushes.
His own island, which he loved and cherished more than anything in the world. And the worst fireworks display ever unfolded behind his back.
“Haa.”
The last strand of Shin-hwa’s reason was completely severed along with the fireworks.
“You XX, you X-like XXs!”
Shin-hwa’s rampage began.
Bang! Bang!
A few of the braver pirates aimed at Shin-hwa with magic bullet guns at close range.
Unlike ordinary guns, magic bullet guns were capable of inflicting great damage not only to suits but also to the flesh.
Of course, magic power recharge and aiming were difficult, but if used well, there was no better weapon than this.
Thwoom! Thwoom!
But all the attacks that had been fired with great momentum were in vain.
The magic bullets that struck the liquidized body only pushed Shin-hwa back slightly, but did not injure him.
On the other hand.
Thud!
Shin-hwa, who quickly attached himself to the attackers whose attacks had failed, grabbed their necks violently.
Cutting off their breath was simply a matter of raising the grip strength with the power of the arm that had been modified in the hand that was gripping.
Since it was aimed at a part that the suit could not protect, there was no way to respond properly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
While one pirate was dying, the magic bullet guns of other comrades were firing diligently, but all were meaningless.
The magic bullets that were embedded in the chest, back, back of the head, waist, and everywhere else did not take Shin-hwa’s life.
“T, this…… this must be a dream.”
The faces of all the pirates on the speedboat turned blue.
The Grim Reaper.
He was right in front of them.
