The Anti-Hero
Chapter 22: Apprenticeship II
Looking at the gangster group in tiger robes, Van immediately got to know the group
[White Tiger]
The group of underworld criminals are not big, but can not be said to be small
The group is led by a criminal with the codename [Taiga]
In addition to heroes, some high-level villains also have codenames that intend to register them as high-class criminals
Van sees some villains from the [White Tiger] organization following [Shinigami] secretly
[Shinigami] certainly felt someone following him and walking away from the crowd
After a few steps, [Shinigami] entered the weapon shop on the black market
Criminals from the [White Tiger] organization also followed [Shinigami] into the weapon shop
A few minutes later, a giant snake 10 meters away came out from the weapon shop
The snake went on a rampage and attacked the surrounding shops
But Van did not focus on the snake, but on the destroyed gun shop
Then [Shinigami] rose from the rubble with a quarter of his mask shattered which showed beautiful blue eyes
[Shinigami] cleaned the dust on his clothes and walked towards Van
"Let's go" [Shinigami] said in a flat, emotionless tone of voice
Emotions of a completely different voice when [Shinigami] spoke to Van for the first time
"Is something wrong?" van asked curiously while looking at [Shinigami]'s tightly clenched hands and quivering
"Son, sometimes there is a time not to interfere with one's personal affairs" [Shinigami] voice from behind the mask
"All right"
...----------------...
Van and [Shinigami] finally arrive at a suburban hotel located in a slum with high crime cases
[Shinigami] then gave Van a room key
"Son, don't die" said [Shinigami] and went into his room
Van was a little confused when he heard [Shinigami] sayings
Van then opened the door of his room with the room key and stepped in
After walking a few steps, Van felt an itchy sensation on his leg
Van then turned his head and saw dozens of nails along the 7 cm stick deep in his feet
But Van ignored him and continued walking
The wounds from the spikes slowly closed and pushed the spikes out of his flesh
Van took off his clothes and revealed a perfect body full of strength without any flaws
The van goes into the bathroom and turns on the shower
When the shower is on, black water comes out and the Van with evasive reflexes
Van saw the black liquid melt the floor below and there were some insects and worms in the liquid
"It's a good thing to avoid, otherwise I have to shower many times to get rid of the smell" Van murmured
Van flicked his finger and his body slowly disappeared in the bathroom
Van arrived at his private palace at [Infinite Castle] and muttered "Prepare the baths and dinner"
Van walked for a few minutes and finally arrived at the palace bath
It is an ocean-wide bathtub with warm water
Van then soaked and closed his eyes, trying to enjoy the warm water
After half an hour of soaking, Van got up from the bath and put on his clothes
The van walks towards the dining room and is greeted with various types of luxury food
Van got up on his bed that was very soft and stretched his body
Then put on his clothes and flicked his finger
The van arrived back in the hotel room and was greeted with a knock on the hotel door
The van walked towards the door, ignoring all the traps set up by the hotel for guests
"Follow me" said [Shinigami] and went down to the hotel lobby
Van followed [Shinigami] from behind and arrived at the hotel lobby
On arrival, some of the people working at the hotel were a little surprised that they were both still alive after staying overnight inside the hotel
As if accustomed, [Shinigami] walked out of the hotel and Van kept following him
While in front of the exit, Van touched the hotel wall and activated [Decay]
With the Van at its center, the hotel walls slowly crumbled into dust
After a few seconds, the entire hotel including the people inside vanished into dust
"It seems you're used to killing" [Shinigami] said
"As usual, a lot of assholes are after me because I'm hero's son #1" Van said calmly
[Shinigami] walked quietly while listening to Van
"Why, by the way, do crime-ridden areas like this still survive? Don't ordinary heroes handle it?" ask Van
"If the hero focuses on attacking this area, then villains or other races can easily attack the city
In addition, not only are heroes strong, but there are villains or creatures of other races that are very strong. And they support the establishment of this place, so it is difficult to get rid of" said [Shinigami]
"That's it...."
"Prepare to work hard, there's an underworld organization arrest in city #2 today, so many heroes are leaving and city #1 will feel empty" explained [Shinigami]
"So you mean is, the villains will act today because of the lack of heroes?" ask Van
[Shinigami] nodded in response to Van's question
*DING *DING *DING
The sound of alarms echoed throughout city #1 even Van and [Shinigami] who were in the suburbs could still hear it
...[.ATTENTION TO ALL CITIZENS #1!]...
...[.ENTER YOUR HOME, LOCK THE DOORS AND WINDOWS, SHUT UP AND NEVER OPEN THE DOOR FOR ANYONE!]...
...[.THERE HAS BEEN A ZOMBIE OUTBREAK IN THE SHOPPING CENTER AREA (MALL) AND IT IS EXPECTED THAT RESIDENTS WILL EVACUATE]...
"It looks like what you're saying is true" Van said and turned to [Shinigami]
Van realizes that [Shinigami] has disappeared and appears hundreds of meters away
Van then grabbed the [Hero Fruit] from [Infinite Castle] and unhesitatingly bit it
Then a burning sensation of heat was felt inside Van's body
The heat was enough to make Van sweat and fatigue
Then Van's consciousness felt attracted by something and his mind became clear
The feeling of heat slowly decreases and foreign energy enters the body of Van
Van slowly opened his eyes and saw many blood spots appearing around him
Even his clothes had been wet from the blood and a few drops of blood dripped from his clothes
Without Van realizing that his body could not withstand the impact of [Hero Fruit] which caused his body to disintegrate and explode
Fortunately [Immortality] got Van back to regenerating and ignoring the side effects of [Hero Fruit]
Van clenched his fists and felt his fists being filled with even stronger power
"It looks like it's increased by 250x" Van murmured
Van then stepped lightly and he appeared tens of meters away
"It seems that I can eat [Hero Fruit] every day" Van muttered and ran towards the shopping mall (mall)
Within minutes, Van arrived at the #1 city shopping mall (mall) that was already chaotic due to a sudden zombie outbreak
The van filled with blood attracted the attention of the zombies and all the zombies immediately ran towards him
Van instantly activated [Decay] and touched the ground around him
In an instant, be it the ground, the humans that would turn into zombies, as well as the zombies instantly crumbled into dust
Van analyzed the surroundings calmly and put on a flat face when he saw the bloody scene in front of him
"It looks like the heroes are inside the shopping mall" Van said as he looked at the wall around the crack
