99 Saving The Middle-Aged Man in Distress (1/2)
”Swift Stab!” Khrusz immediately thrust his spear that shining with azure light to Kim Shin. ”DIE!!!”
Clang! Crack~
A loud sound of a metal that collided echoed around as Kim Shin simply punched the spear which widened Khrusz's eyes in stupefaction. It was followed by a cracking sound as the spear began to break in half.
”How—” Khrusz couldn't finish his word when Kim Shin swiftly cut his head off his body.
Slash!
Kim Shin triggered the 3% chance to cause 100% damage by his Constellations Devourer.
'What the fuc—!' Kim Shin couldn't stop himself from cursing, as he watched the broken spear fell onto the ground in a slow-motion with slacked-jaw and wide-eyed expression.
Clang!
”No…”
Kim Shin hurriedly crouched down and picked up the broken spear with dumbfounded expression. He never expected to break it with his fist.
”Ah, it's no use now…” Kim Shin heaved a sighed in disappointment, utterly disappointed for breaking the spear. He then raised his head and looked towards the gaping guards, causing them to take a step backward in fright.
”W-We're dead…”
”W-What should we do now?”
”I-I don't care anymore. We don't have any future here!”
After those words, the guard immediately scampered as if he's fleeing away from the death door. And it didn't take long before the other guards follow the man's lead as they ran into different directions, as long as far away from Kim Shin.
Kim Shin, on the other hand, couldn't care about them anymore, as he was staring at the spear with gloom expression.
Phew!
Releasing a big sigh, he then turned his head downward and looked at the gory condition of the village's chief corpse as his eyes landed on the skull staff.
'The Village's Chief's Staff…'
Sheathing his sword back to its scabbard, he then trod toward it before he picked up the staff.
(!)
Ping!
A red exclamation mark suddenly appeared before the skull staff that startled him. 'Hmm…'
Click!
Although, he's confused about it, Kim Shin didn't hesitate to press the mark. Then, a rectangular white panel appeared before him.

'Not bad…' Kim Shin commented in his mind as he saw the staff's information. He then placed the staff in his inventory which could only accommodate 70 items.
'What's next then?' He questioned himself as he discovered that there's no guard left except the corpses on the ground that are lying on their own blood.
”I should follow Uncle Jonathan and the others. But, before that…” Kim Shin muttered under his breath as he suddenly stopped when his gaze landed on Khrusz's and village's chief corpse.
[Available for Soul Cleaving!]
Kim Shin hasn't soul cleaved for awhile after the first Yggdramerean he killed.
Now, he was torn between, cleave Khrusz or the village's chief.
After without so much deliberation, Kim Shin then reached his right arm towards the village's chief corpse.
'Soul Cleave!'
Fwoosh!
A dark violet light aura instantly engulfed the village's chief corpse and it didn't take long as the circle of lights flashed through his temple, and it was followed by system's notification.
[You've learned fragmented memories of your target!]
[You've obtained 0.1 additional to all stats!]
Even after the notifications, Kim Shin's eyes were still wide in confusion and astonishment. This is the first time that he managed to learn a memories of the person he soul cleaved. Although it was just in an instant, he could felt as if he knew it for already a long time.
”So they were kicked out from the Yggdramereans City…” Kim Shin mumbled as he narrowed his eyes in bafflement.
Since it was just a fragment, he didn't know the reason why they had been kicked. However, he finally learned the reason why there is Yggdramereans village living in humans' continent. To be specific, the inhabitants of 7 continents of the earth were transported to 7 enormous islands. And it became a single continent, The Humans Continent.
The Humans Continent was located in the southeast of Yggdrasil. While the Yggdramereans continent was in the west side of the Yggdrasil with a triple size of human's continent.
And there's still a number of continent that Kim Shin didn't learn in his years in Yggdrasil.
However, there's a big question in his mind right now.
How could they managed to reached this place? The humans and yggdramereans continent is ten miles apart. And not just that, humans couldn't left the continent, since it was barricade by world's dimension barrier. It was presumed granted by the Yggdrasil's God himself who's benevolently keep safe the humans for 5 years.
'It's no use for now… I should prepare and worry myself in my goal.'
Kim Shin shook his head left and right as his eyes shone with determination.
'I still have a few minutes before the Over Limit end…'
Thus, without wasting more time, Kim Shin immediately ran to the north, towards Uncle Jonathan and others direction.
.....
…
Huff! Huff! Huff!
”Uncle Jonathan… Do you think he will be fine?” A gasping youth asked Jonathan who's frowning while cautiously observing his surroundings.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jonathan couldn't help but looked behind him, where the village located and loud explosions occasionally occurred.
”Yeah, he will be fine. Don't worry. Now, hurry! We need to reach the town before midnight, or else, we will become the appetizer of the roaming beasts.”
Uncle Jonathan's expression turned solemn as he looked ahead of him in the dark forest. Fortunately, they have three torches given by Kim Shin. However, because of that, they will be easily sense by the roaming monsters.
Rustle! Rustle!
Amidst of their careful moving, a sudden movements could be heard ahead of them in the dark path of the forest, forcing them to stopped as they were alarmed by it.
”W-What is that?” One of the injured men whispered as he shivered in fright. He was traumatized by the beating of Zaharias.
