## Chapter 383 – The Color From Outer Space
“Ho-oh.”
From a cursory glance, it seemed these bastards had amassed a considerable fortune through robbery and human trafficking. Chests overflowing with coins and coffers filled with jewelry plundered from victims were piled high.
This must be the Justice spoils.
I grabbed a few chests and headed back up to the first floor.
“Shit, this is a pain in the ass.”
If I’d known it would be like this, I would have made them move everything before killing them. I impulsively offed them because I was too pissed off in the moment.
From now on, for the sake of efficient work, I’ll make them do this labor before killing them.
I acted too hastily.
But it’s okay. Today’s regret will make tomorrow’s Kim Ggat more perfect. Cheer up, Kim Ggat…!
Cloudy and Winia were sitting in the inn’s lobby.
“Ggat? Is that it?”
“Oh, Darkie. Is that all there is?”
They reacted as I emerged and approached me.
“No. There’s a shit ton more. Let’s go move it together.”
And so, we quickly hauled all the items stored in the basement. Not only that, but we even cleaned out the inn’s counter, taking the cash as a bonus.
From now on, all the wealth in this village is practically our family’s.
Seizing the assets of such evil bastards is the first step in establishing true justice.
Anyway, we lined up the items we brought up from the basement in the center of the lobby.
And as we opened each lid, a surprised Winia stared at them with wide eyes. The scale of the loot was more significant than she had anticipated.
“Da, Darkie. We might not need to go looking for meteorites?”
“Hehehe, you’re right. But we need to add a meteorite to this to double it.”
Unfortunately, the chests weren’t full of silver coins but copper. The amount of silver coins wasn’t as much as I’d hoped. Still, this much should be worth about several dozen silver.
“The jewelry doesn’t seem to be anything special.”
Cloudy said, examining the necklaces and rings. She was the most knowledgeable about precious metals, so the jewelry probably wasn’t worth much.
Well, what good stuff would guys like this be wearing? Still, let’s take it.
I immediately started counting the money.
“Heh… Hehehehe…”
“Hehehehehe.”
“Heh heh.”
The more we counted, the more laughter bloomed in our household. Each chest contained about 1000 coppers, and there were a whopping five chests.
Roughly, that was 5000 coppers, a whopping 50 silver. I couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter at this unbelievable reality.
“Khehehehehehe!!!!!”
This is why I can’t quit justice, damn it!!
There’s nothing more profitable than slaughtering evildoers!!
As expected, living virtuously is the way to enjoy wealth and glory. The old sayings are never wrong. But now that I think about it, I wonder how big churches like the Brass Celestial Angel Society or the Radiant Star Cross Society operate. It seems they all run by seizing the assets of evil beings like me.
Violence is a business, after all.
Of course, there’s no such thing as unconditional happiness.
“Darkie! Get a sack!”
“Okay!”
I immediately grabbed a sack and started stuffing it with coins and jewelry.
There were also clothes and equipment in terrible condition, but it was too much to load onto Quetes, so I decided to give up on them.
“Heh heh, we made a lot of money in an instant?”
“That’s right. But we can make even more.”
Hearing my words, Cloudy looked at me with amusement.
“How? Ggat, how can we make even more money?”
“By judging this entire village.”
It wasn’t a difficult task.
“We’re going to judge it whole.”
“That’s it, Ggat. These guys aren’t worth saving. Right?”
“Yeah! We have to kill them all! We have to uproot the roots of these evil bastards!”
This isn’t the time to be doing this.
Before the sun completely sets, we need to slaughter these guys as quickly as possible and take all the valuables hidden in their homes.
I can’t take it anymore…!
The very fact that I’m breathing the same air as these heinous criminals is hateful!
—Fwoosh!
The flames of justice began to burn in my heart.
“Let’s go! Winia, Cloudy! Prepare for battle, no! Prepare for purification!”
“Ggat is the coolest when he’s full of motivation.”
“Well, it’s better to just kill all these guys. Ugh, annoying.”
I’m going to start a self-crusade now.
If Eliza were here, she would definitely be shedding tears, saying, “Saint-nim, you’re so awesome!” while raising her warhammer.
“Let’s go!”
I shoved the sack of money under the bed in the first-floor room and went outside.
—Neigh.
Fortunately, Quetes was well-tied in the stable. If they had killed him, I would have been wondering how to express my anger, but it seems they didn’t kill him.
I stroked his neck once and began searching.
That’s when I took a step.
“Uh, uh…?”
I encountered villagers with knives at their waists and farm tools in their hands. They gestured in surprise as they saw us.
“Oh, shit!”
“Wh, what is that!”
“This bastard, could it be…!”
The surprised gestures soon turned into hostile murderous intent.
“Ah.”
I wondered why they noticed so quickly, but I was already covered in blood. And I already had my sword drawn.
If they saw this, they would naturally realize that the situation had taken a turn for the worse. A blood-soaked warrior is a fearsome presence.
“Die, you bastards.”
—Swoosh!
There’s no need to think any further.
These bastards are the ones who need to be killed. It wouldn’t be bad to kill them all first, rest for a day, and then wake up early in the morning to search the village.
“Sh, shit! We’re screwed! Hey! Gather the— Aaargh?!?!?!”
—Thwack!
I quickly closed the distance and plunged my blade into the neck of the guy who tried to counterattack by raising a pitchfork. Farm tools are quite deadly weapons, but they’re not much of a problem for me.
These retards are no match for me.
“You son of a bitch!!! Emer, emergency!! Come out quickly, you morons!!”
—Whoosh!
Weak.
“Quickly co… Cough?!”
“You should focus on the fight before telling Mom, you idiot.”
I simply cut off the head of the guy who was yelling at the top of his lungs. I killed two people with just two swings of my sword.
It’s a simple task.
These guys aren’t the type who make a living from blood feuds. They’re just rat bastards who trick travelers, drug them, and rob them.
Killing them is extremely simple.
“Cloudy. Winia. The kids are coming now.”
Another guy was already running away, screaming his head off. Rather, that guy will gather the mobs for us.
“Can’t Ggat just kill them all?”
Cloudy said to me with a flirtatious tone.
“Hehehe, should I? Still, we need to finish the job before sunset. Winia. You can use Flame Arrow, right?”
“I’m already preparing. Don’t talk to me for a second.”
—Fwoosh.
Geometric patterns bloomed above the staff along with flames.
At the same time, blurry figures emerged from the thick fog, shouting. —Clang, clang. Armed with mismatched weapons and farm tools, they were all accomplices of these inn murderers, unforgivable villains.
“Those are the bastards!”
“Press them! We’re done for if the story leaks out!”
“Kill the women too!”
“Kill them all!”
The residents of the bandit village, hidden in the fog, revealed themselves.
The reason they were hiding in such a gloomy place was none other than because they couldn’t live under the sunlight.
—Kaaaaaa!
—You son of a bitch!
—Kill!
It seemed to be a little less than two squads. Are these all the residents? They roared fiercely, pointing their weapons at us, hesitating as if they were about to charge.
“Ha.”
How amusing.
“In front of this Heavenly Demon.”
I really can’t help but sigh at how ridiculous this is. Even though they gathered such numbers, they can’t be brave. It’s pathetic.
“Are you discussing murder?”
I pointed my sword at them and shouted urgently.
“Winia, quickly fire the Flame Arrow!! Those bastards!! Do they even have a conscience!”
“Flame Arrow!!”
—Fwoosh!!
A powerful flame arrow was fired at my signal.
“Uh, uh? A mage—”
“—Run away!”
What would these rural bumpkins know about magic? It’s common sense to scatter when facing a mage. Of course, they don’t have that kind of common sense.
They just think they’ll be strong if they stick together.
—Boom!
“Uwaaaaaaa!!!”
“Kyaaaaaaa!!!”
“Fire! It’s fire!!!”
The Flame Arrow exploded, engulfing the residents. This was the price of ignorance. Fierce flames, which couldn’t be extinguished even by the thick fog, devoured and burned their flesh.
“Kuaaaaaa!!!”
“Ma, mage! Run awaaaaay!!!!”
“He, hey!! Don’t run away!!”
In an instant, over ten people became instant barbecues, and the survivors screamed in panic.
“How amusing! You son of a bitch! This Heavenly Demon Kim Ggat will impregnate you with the blade of judgment!”
Looking at that scene, I could clearly feel an endless courage surging within me. Swirling emotions and secreted valor!
Now, those emotions felt as if they had taken shape.
Those embodied emotions and mana mixed and surged within my body. The moment the unreal becomes real, the moment a vague dream plummets into the real world!
The world turns blood red, and the word “defeat” is forgotten.
—Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These evil sons of bitches! Not even Buddha, Hwanung, or King David can forgive them! Their mothers, the Virgin Mary, and even Jesus Christ have abandoned them!
They will be chopped up and repent before the doctrine of Fusion Confucianism, you evil spirits!!!
“An unstoppable urge— Aaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!”
A frenzied scream from an unknown source erupts.
I was already running towards them with my sword raised. Courage, valor. And murderous intent and rage. A drop of desire mixed in stirs my brain.
All I feel now is the burning desire to realize justice. Everything else fades away. All I know is the absolute fact that an extreme power has settled in the hand holding the sword!
“Witness this Heavenly Demon!!!!”
—Whoossshhhh!!!!
The inhumanly launched sword passes through the upper body of a resident who was awkwardly raising an ax, severing it.
If your combat power is lacking, then show me your grit by honing your swordsmanship!
“U, uaaaaa! Run away!”
“Save me!”
“You morons, fight! Fight! You can kill him if you push him!”
“Why don’t you go first, you son of a bitch!!”
If you want to run away, at least show me the grit to run faster! If you’re going to talk shit, then show me the grit to run first!
“You ragtag sons of bitches!!! Is there no warrior! Is there no brave warrior who can stand against this Kim Ggat!!!”
“Kuaaaaaa!!!!”
Never before has murder felt so easy as it does at this moment.
I run, I catch up. I swing my sword. Sometimes, if they try to defend, I brush it aside and cut through their bones. With one swing of the sword, I end a life.
The process, which doesn’t even consume mana, proceeds as gently and smoothly as spreading butter on bread, and each movement is no different from the true essence of swordsmanship, the Sure-Kill Embodiment Sword Style.
“Embodiment Sword Style— Aaaaaaaaat!!!!!!”
The body of the guy who touched the sword is easily cut in half, to the point where it’s absurd.
“Huk!!!”
“Run away!!!”
“Save me!!!!!!
These bandit bastards, who couldn’t even become warriors, were just a ragtag bunch. No matter how many of these cowardly bastards gather, they can’t even breathe properly in front of a true powerhouse.
“A murder Swordmaster has appeared— Aaaaaaa!!!!!!!!”
Their morale was already completely shattered after witnessing their comrades being hit by Flame Arrow and roasted, and I charged forward, shouting and slicing through the guys in front of me in an instant.
Accelerating chaos and absent courage.
Comrades scream and run away.
In such a situation, even the guys who decided to fight are bound to weaken. I exploit that gap. These bastards are neither an army nor anything else. They haven’t been trained to hold onto their reason when their comrades are being massacred.
“I.”
I suppress the losses and fears that I might have with excessively secreted courage! Just advance, advance! The thought of killing and plundering everything captivates my heart…!
“Heavenly Demon.”
In a world that feels clearer than ever, I was holding a sword.
It’s a world where you have to fight. Strength and cruelty are virtues that take precedence over any other value. I felt it to the bone, and I accepted it into my body as if branding it.
I survived because I fought.
I’ve been fighting because I survived.
“Kim Ggat.”
That’s why, if you don’t have the “will to fight no matter what,” you’ll never reach me.
“Heavenly Demon Shattering”
And I.
“Heavenly Demon Shattering Embodiment Sword Dance.”
A man who exists as the true Kim Ggat when surrounded by the weak.
—Papat!
—Boongtzz Boongtzz!
A tidal wave of blades erupts.
“I’ll carve you up— Aaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!”
