The Cold-Blooded Sword Expert
First time killing a human

“You're too weak, aren't you? You should know what a reduction magic that certain people have. Although it looks weak, but in fact it is very helpful.” The adventurer said as he continued to swing his sword with lightning magic that continued to be released towards Leo.

It is true, that reduction magic is a very weak attribute compared to other magic attributes. This happens, because reduction magic will only be useful if one of the user's weapons is able to injure the victim. Then it would be much better to have elemental magic attributes or other unique magic attributes.

However, it has become an absolute thing. The owner of the reduction magic attribute, inevitably had to accept it with a chest of air. And it was much better than having no magic attribute at all.

Leo continuously retreated backwards while regulating his quite heavy breathing. As well as avoiding sword attacks, Leo also continued to avoid arrows from the fired archers.

But before that, Leo slightly closed his eyes next to pull out the arrow stuck on his back directly. Or what happened, he would have difficulty moving because of such excruciating pain.

Then, Leo focused on the dagger he was holding, stomping on the ground just as he drained the mana on his feet. That made, the ground cracked after Leo moved very quickly towards the side of the sword-wielding adventurer.

The adventurer opened his eyes, only that he felt a crisis that made him have to look to the side while shaking his sword.

Not so stupid, Leo threw the dagger towards the adventurer's face before the adventurer slashed his sword. Unfortunately, an adventurer like him was smart enough to shift his head to avoid throwing daggers while shaking his sword.

“Shadow step.”

Before the adventurer almost touched his sword at Leo's neck, Leo suddenly turned into a shadow that moved very quickly towards the back of the adventurer.

Not wasting an opportunity, Leo held the dagger hilt that the adventurer had previously avoided and directly swung it towards the adventurer's neck.

Then, Leo retreated backwards. His breathing was difficult to control because the reduction effect was still influential to him. Especially after he used the shadow step which made him spend a lot of mana on his body.

Yet it was comparable to that adventurer who instantly collapsed, blood spurting so profusely soaked the ground. The scream sounded so loud that it slowly subsided which signified that the person, ‘died.’

Leo opened his eyes, he was quite surprised to know that the adventurer before him was killed by his hand. Though, he did so perhaps reflexively and not at all intentionally, but who would have thought that the dagger stuck to the neck and was killed?

“You?” One of the Archers lowered his arrow, he immediately looked at an assassin with a gaze so shocked that his own partner was killed.  Even though, the two of them were also quite frightened which then immediately ran rather than having to deal with a fairly high martial arts user. Especially after being exposed to reduction magic that seems to have no effect on Leo, making them sure that it is not as easy to kill Leo, or what happens they will be killed.

Leo's mind is pretty messed up, this is his first time killing a human being who makes. It's just that, somehow it feels like killing an animal that has absolutely no regrets. What he was really troubled about was that the archers would report it to their guild guild.

However, Leo has absolutely no energy to pursue them. Moreover, the sun was also almost sinking which made him have to return on time.

Before that, Leo stared at the corpse of the adventurer. Honestly, that this was his first time killing a human. But strangely, he had absolutely no regrets even if unintentionally.

The cause was very clear, that it was because he was protecting himself from an attack. If he kills without cause, it is certain that Leo will probably regret doing a little foolish action, unless he is bloodthirsty.

Leo looked around. It seems that he came home a little late because the goats were no longer in place because they avoided Leo's fight. But Leo is sure that the goat breed will certainly run away from the place because the sun has set or the goat offspring will be afraid of wild animals if not near the owner.

However, before that, Leo dragged the body of the adventurer away from the path of the journey of old man Gin and himself to go up and down to the top of the mountain so that old man Gin was not too excited. At least if Leo threw it away, there might be a corpse-eating beast that consumed the bodies of adventurers.

Actually if not for a strong physique, Leo would have lost just like that. In fact he is sure, that quantity certainly does not rule out the possibility of being inferior to quality. Or in a sense, no matter how many enemies, yet they had such weak abilities, then it was much worse compared to a person who had quite good abilities and qualities.

In addition, the actual level is also not a benchmark. Perhaps it was only limited as a rank, or perhaps one's experience in controlling talents such as magic, as well as martial arts, sword arts, archery and alchemy. It does not rule out the possibility, that the initial ‘3’ level or level can beat the intermediate '3' level and above.

Seeing them, to be honest, Leo was eager to go to the city, looking for experience points like being an adventurer like them. Moreover, he also did not want to depend on old man Gin continuously, and rather he could not forget the dark memory of 11 years ago so he intended to search, he said, who really killed his family?

The matter of such an arrogant adventurer, old man Gin once told me that it was indeed so ordinary. Especially if an adventurer who comes from the upper class, then dealing with them will be a difficult problem to end.

And that's what Leo was a little afraid of when the adventurer he killed was someone in the upper ranks like the son of a Baron or a Viscount. It was impossible to be a child of the Marquis and Duke, and impossible to be a son of the king.

Because Leo knows exactly how the children of the high nobility look like, while the low ones, Leo does not know him very well and is not very important. Like barons, sometimes the title is just a condition, most of them have no territory. Or rather, it is just an honorary title.

Even so, when dealing with lowly noble children, it was difficult to get out of the matter. Moreover, even the low nobles are quite arrogant and have been arbitrary to do anything just because they have honorary titles.

Moreover, Leo has released an eyewitness that makes it very dangerous. At least he's learning, to spend up to his roots so Leo can calm down.
