I walked out of the house with joy and disappointment in my eyes. Except for the piece of metal and soul method, I did not find anything.

It is a big haul, and I am happy, but I am also a little disappointed that I could not practice that method.

To be honest, I could try. I might be able to do it with the aid of forbidden power, but the benefits it will provide me will not be even 10% of what it would water an elemental practitioner.

I pushed away those disappointed thoughts and focused on positive.

While I might not practice it, it still had great value in research. It is quite shocking that I found such a level of method in a small house, kept open on the shelf.

Even in this world, such methods are extremely rare. I have seen the prices of the method on shelves and the one I found is not even sold in stores.

I resumed my journey, and another hour passed. I had checked another house, hoping to find treasures as I did, but there was nothing. Instead, I got nearly hit by the broken formation, which shot toward me.

Though I may not have found something in the houses. I have found some good plants.

A few more minutes passed, and I found another plant and was harvesting it. When a guest had appeared, and stopped a few meters away from me.

“Can I help you?” I asked the man without looking up. As I am completely focused on harvesting the plant.

He is tall, with clear black skin of a shade that I had seen no humans have. He had silver eyes, which were slightly larger than humans, and a thick mane of white hair. Which he had gathered in a ponytail.

“Yes. Hand over all your storage devices and artifacts to me,” he said with a pleasant smile on his. Like he is asking for water and not trying to loot me.

“What will you do if I did not?” I asked, as I finally looked at him. “Kill you, of course,” he said with a grinning smile.

“I will not. So it better you fuck off,” I said and immediately the grin on its face froze up and anger appeared in its eyes.

“Since you want death so badly, human. I will give it to you,” he said, and a dark-blue metal long sword appeared in his hand and he came at me.

My expression turned serious, and a helmet appeared on my head and a long sword in my hand. I would have liked to use any other weapon than my sword, but I do not have any weapon other than the pick-ax.

The one I had brought from my world is too weak to fight against a Mid-level Primary-III.

I did not move and waited for him to come toward me. While observing everything I could about him.

He is at the Mid-level of Primary III and seemed stronger than average Primary-III. Looking at how eyes moved seemed to be the alert type.

“Die!”

He shouted as the white energy covered his sword and he swung it toward me.

I also swung my sword in response, but I did not cover it with energy. Though I moved it with the same speed, its sword moved toward me.

Clang!

It tried to avoid my sword’s sneaky move, but I blocked it and our swords clashed.

Nobody moved, but surprise appeared on its face. He may expect me to take a step back or at least shake, but I remained standing, with no change.

“You have some power. No wonder you dare to talk back to me,” it said and attacked me again, with white energy flaring across his sword.

Clang Clang Clang

Our swords clashed again, but that did not stop him as he attacked again without stopping, and with each attack, his frustration grew.

“You need strength to rob people, little robber,” I mocked, and anger flared in his eyes further. “Bastards, shut up,” he snapped, and he released his aura, which finally made me serious.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

“Searing of Thousand Blades,” he said, and attacked. His sword begins to create copies, making it hard to see which is the real copy.

I know, which is the real sword, but it did not make things easier, considering all the copies are dangerous.

Burst 10%. Critter of Blades.

As I activated the burst, it filled me, and copies of my sword begin to materialize around it.

It couldn’t help but shock him. The attack looks similar to his attack. It is similar, but it is also far more versatile. I could do many things with it, that even its attack couldn’t do.

With my intention, more than half of the blades moved ahead of my sword. Following the pattern, I envision.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

His eyes widened, and his stance turned defensive as my swords reached him and he defend against them.

Rip!

My real sword slashed across his chest. He reacted quickly and moved back. Otherwise, it would have been a death-dealing blow.

“Try harder, little robber,” I said and the anger in its eyes increased further, but a moment later. Those emotions calmed down and a powerful aura burst out of his body, far more powerful than the aura before.

It is likely his full power.

“You are powerful, I’ll you give that, but you are dreaming. If you think this little of power would be enough to do anything against me,” It said and powerful energy gathered across its sword.

“Blazing Dawn!” It roared and attacked me.

His attack is fast, quite fast, and filled with power. That would deal a fatal blow to me if hit directly. Still, I do not fear it. Instead, there is excitement in my heart.

Burst 30%.

The power of the burst increased, and I swung my sword. It is a simple attack without any blazing energy.

Which made him look at my attack mockingly.

CLANG!

My sword clashed against its and powerful energy came at me, but all got absorbed by my armor, while my energies made steam released from its whole body and now, it is looking at me with alarm.

It looks at me for a moment, before jumping back and beginning to retreat fast.

“You shouldn’t have shown killing intent,” I said with a sigh. I may not have access to the killing rule, but I could still feel his killing intent.

I might forgive his words by breaking every bone of his body. But I could not forgive those intentions. He had very much wanted to kill me, and I could not tolerate that.

I looked at his retreating figure and took a step toward him and a few seconds later; I was in front of him, with my flaming sword moving toward him.

Pachak!

“I a”

Barely a single word came out of his mouth when my sword cut through his neck along with all the defensive methods he activated.

His head flew up while his body begin to fall down, with a silvery fire burning it both. It consumed the body, leaving only artifacts behind.
