Chapter 118: Assassinating... (2/2)

In the aspect of 'feel', this was where he failed and he knew it. The reason behind it must be because he had a high tolerance for pain. He lacked feelings. Even if he was getting mocked by others, it wouldn't affect him. If sometimes he tried to retaliate, it was because he just wanted to.

Yman stared at her eyes, ”Do you mean, I needed to feel my own element?”

He noticed her lips curled into a smug. ”To make it more specific, you needed to be the first victim of it. In order to create a strong connection with your own power. Well, it was the most shortcut way,” she said, which made Yman gawk.

”Eh?!”

”Fufufu,” finally, she was able to witness a surprise in his expression. 'So even this guy could have such a face. Hehe,' she laughed inside.

”Hehe, don't worry, you don't need to light up your bare skin. You just need to get used to it. Like for example surrounding yourself with fire in a slight unbearable state,” she further explained.

Yman showed an understanding look.

”Hmm, I see, so I just need to burn myself right?” He replied with a serious face.

”.....”

She wondered what he meant by his words — burning himself. She believed that what he meant by burning himself was — as she said, to surround himself with fire.

Well, who would be in their right mind would actually burn themselves.

”Yeah just the bearable heat,” she replied.

She noticed him nodding his head slightly. 'So it was the shortest, huh,' he thought.

Then, Yman without a second thought took his gloves and gauntlet on his hand.

Cinder wasn't puzzled by it. As he needed to be in a half-naked state for more effectiveness.

But what the guy in front of her did, dumbfounded her.

”Hey, what are you up to?!” She shouted when the smell of the burning fleshhad reached her nose. Her shout caused the others to glance at them. They too were shocked by what they witnessed.

'What? Is he so hungry that he grilled his own hand?!' They thought.

”Nhg!” Yman let out a groan.

”Hey stopped that!” She stood up and shouted. But it was too late. His hand already was on fire. He put his bare hand on the blazing fire of the bonfire.

The fire burnt his skin. The odd smell of it had reached to everyone's nose.

”Hey stopped!” They shouted. They thought that there was something wrong with his mind. Yet instead of stopping, Yman also put his other hand on the fire. His companions were in chaos of how to stop him. Out of reflex, Tiafel splashes him the newly boiled water.

”Urgh!” It made him groan further. Good thing he was wearing elemental armor. The heat wasn't so strong. However, it wasn't Yman's aim. He wanted to do a shortcut on how to increase the power of his elemental magic. His whole body was enveloped by fire.

They gawked when he stood up with his body covered by fire. However, instead of getting charred, his body was repeatedly healed using his healing spell and regeneration passive skill.

They looked at him with dumbfounded faces.

At this moment, outside the cave, the surrounding was already dark. It was night time. The second night after they went inside.

Most of the participants already hid to rest for a night. To recharge themselves for tomorrow's search. This second boundary was littered with a strong beast. And they still needed to find the barrier.

However, in the midst of the forest, one silhouette jumped higher into the air. He condensed water element on above his head. Then fired it at the big boulder on the mountainside.

From the condense water, hundreds of needle-like raindrops were shot rapidly towards it. ”Aarrrgh!!” A cry followed after the boulder was carved with countless holes.

The poor victim spawned in the spawn area of public square. He was greeted by solemness. A moment later another participantspawn beside him while swearing, ”What the f**k! Who the heck killed me!” They died without them knowing who killed them.

Many other dead participants spawn after them. They glanced at the monitor and only saw a shadow leaping from here to there, assassinating the resting partcipants without them knowing.

”W-Who is that…..?” A newly respawned participant subsconciously asked.

”T-That's G-Gath, Gath Rainripper…..” answered the person next to him.
