The sword in my hand felt light as a feather.
"Gaaahhh!!!"
"Uwaaaahhh!!!"
Nothing was easier than slaughtering these terrified weaklings. In the battlefield turned into a living hell, I cut down the fleeing villagers one by one.
"Kieeeek!!!"
Every time one dropped, the terror spread even further. But it only fueled my courage as I let out a roar.
These pathetic fucks could never lay a hand on me.
I, Kim Katt, never lose to anyone weaker than me!
"Monster! It's a monster!!!"
"P-please, spare me!"
"Kraaahk!!!"
Most of the enemies crumpled without even putting up a fight, spraying blood and guts everywhere.
"Don't run, you idiots!!! If we don't fight, we're all dead!!"
"It's the Fog Man! That's the goddamn Fog Man!!!!!"
Some begged for their lives, while others screamed and tried to fight their way out of this mess. Mixed together like this, all that remained was pure chaos.
"Atone with your deaths, you evil fucking bastards!!"
Terror as thick as the fog itself.
"Move, get out of the way!"
"You move, asshole!!! H-he's coming!!!"
"Uwaaaah!!!"
Those trying to flee didn't hesitate to team-kill, shoving and slashing their own allies to escape. It was the trashy tenacity you'd expect from criminals.
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ Fire Bolt
"Kuhk!"
But escape was impossible.
Winia's Fire Bolt struck the fugitives' heads faster and more precisely than any expert archer's arrow, incinerating them.
"Gaaahhh!!!"
Just like always, they turned into Ghost Riders, racing through the village before collapsing in heaps. It was a perfect end for these wicked scum.
"Fight! Fight, damn it!!! Don't run!! If we stay like this, we're all dead!!"
I targeted the ones with the will to fight first. In situations like this, you have to crush the leaders trying to rally the team and carry the game.
Of course, having the will to fight didn't make them strong.
"Yeah! Come at me, you worthless bugs!!"
"Uh, fuck!!"
The guy screaming to fight bolted the moment he faced me. Naturally, my sword was faster than his change of heart.
💥 CRITICAL HIT! 💥 -[Fatal] HP
"Urghhh!!!"
My blade fell like a guillotine, severing his life.
"Next!"
Pathetically simple. No skill, no talent. And too cowardly to fight properly. There were dozens of villagers, but they were nothing but panicked pigs.
Killing these losers didn't even count as post-meal exercise.
"Where's a worthy foe to satisfy this Heavenly Demon!"
Who dares stand against my path of conquest!
"Kieeeek!!!"
"Uwaaaahhh!!!"
"You pathetic weaklings!!! I am your judge!!!!"
The village ground was stained crimson, overwhelmed by bursting screams. A few unhinged villagers charged at me with swords, yelling "D-die!"
"You bastards!!!"
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Footwork activated
Charges without technique were suicide!
💥 CRITICAL HIT! 💥 -[Fatal] HP
I deflected his sword with mine and sliced through his neck.
"Khep?!"
Swordsmanship isn't just for show.
The sword arts Karin taught me, refined through countless real battles into my practical sword style. It's designed purely for efficient killing. Ignorant fools who don't even know the basics of swordsmanship can't stand against it.
"Iyaaap!!!"
"Die!"
Two bastards rushed me at once.
I thrust forward with my blade; the first one panicked and swung wildly. 💥 CRITICAL HIT! 💥 -[Face] HP
I parried with a crossguard block and rammed my blade into his face. Blood exploded with his scream.
"Huaaaak!!!"
"Idiot!"
💥 CRITICAL HIT! 💥 -[Flank] HP
I ignored the collapsing body, sidestepped the other's attack with footwork, and stabbed his side.
"Kahaak!"
"Too slow, you fucks!"
Slow. Weak. Easy. Simple. There were many enemies, but that's all I felt. No matter how many weaklings band together, they're nothing to a true powerhouse.
"This is the judgment this Heavenly Demon, Kim Katt, delivers upon you!"
I easily finished off a few more in panic. That wrapped things up.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Perfect Victory One-sided Slaughter Complete
The pure white fog had turned as red as the blood-soaked ground. Chopped-up flesh and corpses littered everywhere, filled only with pained groans and screams.
A flawless victory.
A one-sided slaughter and massacre.
It suited these bandit scum who'd lived off robbing travelers.
💥 CRITICAL HIT! 💥 -Bandit Leader HP [0]
Bloody Cloudy swung her blade to shake off the blood as she approached. Winia scanned the surroundings with her staff aimed, her eyes cold and sunken.
"Your sin was messing with me without knowing your place."
While I charged the terrified villagers and hacked away gleefully, Cloudy and Winia supported me, cutting down the runners.
No one escaped this scene.
Try to flee, and Cloudy was faster. Shove allies aside, and you couldn't dodge the Fire Bolt. Most were dead; the survivors were just critically wounded and down.
"Kuh...!"
"Krahk!"
"It hurts...! Hurts, hurts...!"
I looked down at them.
All clutching severed stumps, covered in blood, wailing.
"S-spare me! Please!"
"Hic! Mom, Mooom!!"
"Stay back! Don't come closer!!!"
These bastards who'd killed innocents without a second thought now whined about injustice and begged when it was their turn. The gall of them.
This world is overflowing with scum like this.
"Heh heh heh, you fucking bastards. Even Buddha demands your deaths."
I decided to end the ones shedding crocodile tears first.
Let even one demon from this village survive, and it'd cause massive social chaos. For vicious criminals, crime is their way of life—if not judged by death, innocents keep dying.
Half-assed mercy kills the good.
I, Kim Katt, crusader of Fusion Confucianism, can't allow such a horrific future. Evil must be eradicated on the spot.
"P-please spare me! Mercy!"
"I was wrong! Forgive me, please!"
"Hic...! Mom, Mooom!!"
As I raised my sword and approached the thrashing ones in their blood pools, they squealed like pigs and crawled away.
"Don't cry, you fucks. You're about to see your mom—don't wanna make her sad, right? Come on, smile. Smiling brings fortune."
"Hiiik?! St-stop! Enough!"
"I said smile, why aren't you fucking smiling, you goddamn bastards!!!!!!!"
"Nooooooo!!!"
I slammed down the inverted blade mercilessly.
💥 CRITICAL HIT! 💥 -[Execution] HP
"Fuck! Not a single one of you worthless shits listens!!!"
"Stop, stop!!! Nooooo!!"
"Uwaaaak!!!"
These goddamn bastards don't listen even on their way out. They'd probably defy Yama himself, so I had to discipline them first.
"Aaaak!!!"
With that resolve, I stomped the backs of crawlers and stabbed repeatedly.
"Fucking trash."
After a few more rounds, no living souls remained. Purification complete.
"Whew, well. Did some good today."
The fog village where murderers lurked vanished like mist.
No more victims now.
It was gruesome, but necessary to uphold justice. As a Fusion Confucianism crusader, I couldn't just walk by.
Pride and satisfaction swelled.
My swordplay had definitely improved.
"Katt..."
"Cloudy?"
Cloudy approached and hugged my back.
"You're the best. Showing off like this... how many did you take down solo?"
Come to think of it, it'd been ages since I showed her my full power. Her voice dripped with seduction and affection—she was thrilled.
Guess I rampaged extra hard.
Knowing Cloudy was watching made me push harder than usual.
"I can't hold back anymore. Katt, please? The village is empty now, right?"
Such a naughty queen.
"Heh heh heh, yeah. Cloudy. Let's rest up plenty today. But first, finish the job."
"Mhm. We should. I'll be waiting?"
Now to loot the whole village.
Not just the inn—surely their homes held stashes too.
"...Looks like we can relax today. Ugh, came for a meteor and end up like this. But killing 'em all feels good. Scum like this deserve to die."
Winia sighed while scanning around.
"Good work, Winia."
"Yeah, you too, darky."
Her gaze on the corpses dripped contempt. As a native, Winia didn't see criminals as people either.
She stared at the bodies a while, then looked at me and burst out laughing.
"Pfft. Yeah, now I really got nothing to worry about with you around, darky. You used to seem pitiful and dumb, but lately you're so reliable?"
"I'm the super Heavenly Demon Kim Katt. Come into my arms."
"Smells like blood. Pass."
"No."
Anyway, to rest today, wrap up work.
"Cloudy, go loot houses with Winia. I'll handle the bodies."
"Sure."
They headed to the houses; I immediately rifled through the corpses. Skipped clothes and gear—cash only.
"Filthy beggars."
Nothing worth taking.
No wallets, empty pockets.
Maybe they pooled everything at the inn communally? Not sure if they had that much camaraderie.
Or stashed at home.
Sliced clothes with my knife, flipped bodies—no one had shit. Ten checked, maybe 10 coppers total.
A bit disappointing, but we'd hit the jackpot already—no issue.
Quick scan done, headed to the houses.
My corpse-looting skills were leveling up too.
Entered the house where their voices came from.
"Cloudy, Winia. Find anything?"
"Katt? Done already?"
"Nah, they had zilch. You?"
"Same here. Nothing worth taking."
"Figures?"
Oh well, can't be helped. A few houses left, but tomorrow's fine.
"Tomorrow then. Sun's setting. Back to rest."
We returned to the original inn. Unchanged. Grabbed the hidden coin pouch, up to the second floor.
Door open: the two we'd killed still there.
This room's a no-go.
Packed up, moved two doors down.
We're the owners today. Any room's fair game.
"Sis. Bath time?"
"Hehe, sure."
We were blood-soaked, so yeah, wash up.
Grabbed clothes and towels, headed behind the inn with them. Sure enough, a well as the innkeeper mentioned.
They stripped and drew water to wash.
I kept watch for survivors. The world started turning orange.
"Darky, your turn. Scrub off that blood stink."
Handed towels to the clean ones.
"Yup."
Sunset.
I doused my head with cold water, washing my bloody body. Amazing how there's never a blood-free day.
Unbelievable.
Yet every time my flesh absorbs others' blood, I feel alive. Beyond alive—growing stronger.
The more I kill and fight, the closer I get to true Heavenly Demon.
These village bandits gifted me that realization. Viewing it that way, they weren't half bad.
They basically pooled their money for me.
"Heh heh heh."
Who'd have thought I'd loot a whole village.
Kim Katt... you've grown...!
Live on tomorrow too, Kim Katt!
Beyond the sunset, Mershin flashed a thumbs-up and grinned.
