Chapter 221: Afro’s Tachi’s Brilliance and Discarding Humanity!
With one sword in hand, Red glided over the floor, his figure as blurred as his face.
One, two, three, and four strikes on 4 different random Candidates, and then with the 5th strike, he beheaded Candidates 47, 55, and 39 in one smooth arc.
"This Skill — I will keep moving forward...," Shadow Origin mumbled, "is too scary against a group."
Even more shocking was that none of the three had put up any fight as if they had already lost their will to live.
By the time Red killed the last frozen Candidate, the king had lifted the document with Afro's Tachi sword and was now seeing its Stats.
His eyes landed on the Skill — Ruthless Ritual.
"HAHAHA!!!" The entire castle rumbled along with the king's laugh. "Such battle Instincts!" he commented. "Ruthless, indeed."
Shadow Origin gaped at the king, but words abandoned him.
Then they saw Red washing the sword in each Contestant's blood by thrusting it into their heart. With time, the sword in his hand started to glow with a bright red color, looking almost like blood.
"He killed them all," Shadow Origin said, finally finding his voice. "How many Abilities does he have?!"
It didn't take being a king to guess that killing so many formidable opponents, even by surprise, meant only three things.
