Reincarnation Of Third-rate Swordsman Chapter 95: Escape

"FOOL!" Zaharias commented loudly as he forcefully stretched his dark, thick whip, causing a faint cracking sound.

Seeing this, Kim s.h.i.+n leisurely unsheathed his constellations devourer sword, before he positioned it over his right shoulder, with a posture of about to thrust.

'It's time for revenge!'

'No way! He couldn't stand a chance at that demon's prowess!' The man who's behind Zaharias worriedly thought, he doesn't believe that Kim s.h.i.+n could win this fight.

As the silence filled the surroundings, Kim s.h.i.+n and Zaharias stared at each other without moving an inch, as if waiting for something. However, Zaharias couldn't take it anymore, he believed that Kim s.h.i.+n won't be able to endure his power.

Breaking the silence, Zaharias, raised his whip before he forcefully lashed his whip towards Kim s.h.i.+n's face who's 5-meters away from him, causing a whoos.h.i.+ng sound as it split the air.

Whoos.h.!.+

Seeing the incoming attack, Kim s.h.i.+n quickly ducked his head and immediately dashed forward, smoothly dodging Zaharias's first a.s.sault that caused a loud breaking sound in the air, failing to hit the target.

'I need to close the distance, or else I won't be able to deal damage!' He thought, knowing that this is the basic action when battling a person using a long-range damager.

Sprinting forward, Kim s.h.i.+n felt that heaviness of his current stats, he got to used at the high stats and speed movements. Despite that restraint on his body, it didn't stop him from doing his goal.

Reaching the 3-meters distance, Zaharias's whip came rus.h.i.+ng towards him once again. Then, without any hesitation, he swung his sword to the left, hoping to push Zaharias's attack. However, as his sword and Zaharias's whip collide, he was forced to take a few steps backward, while sparks scattered everywhere.

You've received +5 energy!

"HAHA. Is that all you've got?!"

Zaharias's raucous voice suddenly rang around as he questioned Kim s.h.i.+n arrogantly.

'I never thought he had this strength despite his weak appearance.' Kim s.h.i.+n frowned in that thought as he calmed his trembling right arm.

'At last, he's going to be one of us...' The man who's behind Zaharias thought in disappointment.

Whoos.h.!.+

Zaharias didn't gave Kim s.h.i.+n any time to breathe as he lashed his whip once again.

With a solemn look, Kim s.h.i.+n reflexively jumped backward, easily dodging the whip as it strongly landed on the ground, causing a loud sound, followed by web-like cracked on the floor.

"Hmph!"

Snorting, displeased at Kim s.h.i.+n's slippery, Zaharias hurriedly pulled his whip before las.h.i.+ng it down to Kim s.h.i.+n once more.

Whoos.h.!.+

As the whip flew with much faster speed compared earlier, Kim s.h.i.+n couldn't dodge it, forcing him to take a defend from the swift attack.

Clang! Boom!

Sparks scattered everywhere as Kim s.h.i.+n once again was pushed few feet backward.

'Am I chewing more than I can? No, I don't believe that!' Kim s.h.i.+n couldn't help but think about it. However, he hurriedly erased that thought as he slightly bent his knees, before sprinting forward.

Whoos.h.!.+

Gesturing his left hand like a gun, Kim s.h.i.+n then uttered. "Air Bullet!"

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

The air suddenly converged on his left-hand index finger, before it began to release a swift wind bullet thrice in succession towards the grinning Zaharias.

'Laughable! Hmph!' Zaharias snort inwardly as he hurriedly pulled his whip.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A loud explosion reverberated, causing a cloud of smokes, as it instantly engulfed Zaharias entire body.

You've received +5 energy!

Hearing the loud explosion, the other captured humans raised their heads in confusion as they didn't know what's happening. And to their surprise, Zaharias, the demon who they wished to die a horrible death was actually on the defensive situation.

'What's happening?!' Confusion filled their minds, as hope came back in their spiritless eyes.

However, contrary to their hopeful expectation, the man behind Zaharias, clearly witnessed everything.

"He's not dead yet!" He indicated with all the strength left in him.

"What?!" One of the hopeful prisoners blurted out in shock.

Kim s.h.i.+n, on the other hand, began to bolt forward, he knew that it wasn't enough to kill Zaharias with a simple magic attack.

"HAHA. Of course, I won't be the warden of this prison cell, if I'm a pushover." An unpleasant voice resounded as the cloud of smoke dissipated into thin air, revealing the unscratched Zaharias with a transparent apple-green barrier around him.

'Magic s.h.i.+eld?' Kim s.h.i.+n thought as he saw the grinning Zaharias inside the transparent barrier. However, despite the situation, he kept running forward.

"So what if you have a magic s.h.i.+eld, stand this attack if you can!" Kim s.h.i.+n declared in a loud voice, as he suddenly pushed his feet forcefully on the ground, pouncing toward Zaharias, and with a short distance, he raised his constellations devourer over his head as he swung down his sword from top-right to bottom-left while shouting, "Black Crescent Slas.h.!.+"

Fwoos.h.!.+

2-meter tall pitch-black projectile appeared after Kim s.h.i.+n swung his sword that swiftly flew towards Zaharias, causing an ear-splitting sound as it cut through the air.

BOOM! Fwoos.h.!.+

"N-No, how can a filthy human like you have a powerful skill like that?!" Zaharias stammered in disbelief as he watched the black projectile slammed on his magic s.h.i.+eld.

Frowning his eyebrows, Zaharias watched in anxiousness, afraid at the power of Kim s.h.i.+n's skill. However, it didn't take that long before his expression eased as he began to laughed in ecstasy.

"HAHA. You've scared me there for a moment. Human was still a human, weaklings!" Zaharias sighed before ridiculing the silent Kim s.h.i.+n as he continued laughing like crazy.

Crack!

A faint cracking sound abruptly stopped Zaharias from laughing, 'What is that?'

Crack~ Crack~

A sound same like cracking mirror could be heard indicating that he hasn't heard it wrong, following the source of the sound, Zaharias found a few centimeter cracks where the black crescent projectile continued slamming on his magic s.h.i.+eld.

"I-It can't be real..." Zaharias uttered with a wide-eyed expression. Gaping in disbelieve.

Crack~ Crack~

The cracking on the magic s.h.i.+eld continues, forcing Zaharias to subconsciously backed up.

"N-No..."

BOOOM!

It didn't take that long as the magic s.h.i.+eld protecting Zaharias broke into number of pieces as the pitch-black projectile eventually vanished into thin air, followed by a loud explosion, causing a strong gale that filled the room, forcing everyone to close their eyes as they defend their arms before themselves, except to Kim s.h.i.+n who immediately took the opportunity to ran toward the dumbfounded Zaharias.

Swoos.h.!.+

With a swift and focused movement, Kim s.h.i.+n instantly arrived before Zaharias as he whispered at the old man's ears before thrusting his sword to Zaharias's heart. "This is for giving me a horrible experience!

Puchi!

You've received +20 energy!

"Urk!" Zaharias blurted out as fresh blood gushed out of his mouth.

Silence filled the entire room, as they couldn't believe what they witnessed. Zaharias, the demon who tormented them for a whole week was impaled and about to die.

And what does it mean?

It means they could finally have their freedom back!

For G.o.d's sake, when they are on the verge of dying, but a powerful young man suddenly came and saved them, how could be a coincidence that great?

It's a d.a.m.n miracle!

"T-This can't be real..." Zaharias spoke ruggedly as he fell lifelessly on the ground after Kim s.h.i.+n pulled out his constellations devourer.

Kim s.h.i.+n then landed his gaze on the middle-aged man who's still managed to worry about him.

"Thankfully, you're still alive..." He muttered under his breath as he slowly bent his right knee on the ground.

"Is he truly dead?" The middle-aged man's haggard face shown a disbelief expression when he asked Kim s.h.i.+n.

"Mm." Kim s.h.i.+n nodded his head in response as he raised his sword over his head, surprising the man as it couldn't helped to closed his eyes in fear.

'H-He's not here to save us?'

Swoos.h.!.+ Clank!

Contrary to his thought, the man didn't felt any pain, but heard something broken. Opening his eyes, he found that the young man was actually removing the shackles on his arms and feet.

"Are you okay, Uncle?" Kim s.h.i.+n gently questioned the puzzled man before him.

This man was none other than the person who he owed his life, the person who gave him a food to eat, the person who saved him when they are escaping.

Jonathan Swizchneger!

Kim s.h.i.+n could still recall how Jonathan treat him like his own son, how Jonathan gave him a home to sleep. However, Jonathan eventually died after being forced to work nonstop until he died.

The real reason about that was, Gythona village was attacked by high-level human guild before, resulting in Kim s.h.i.+n and other human beings that captured by Yggdramereans to have their freedom back once again, that's what they thought. However, contrary to their expectations, those high-level humans who saved them, forced them to work for their guild, a payment for saving their lives.

"Ah, yes. Thank you." Jonathan unconsciously answered, still couldn't able to believe in the current situation.

"Here, drink this uncle." Kim s.h.i.+n handed an intermediate health potion to Jonathan.

Seeing the gla.s.s bottle with red liquid inside it, on Kim s.h.i.+n's right hand, Jonathan widened his eyes in surprise. "H-Health Potion? N-No, I couldn't take that."

"Don't worry, Uncle. Drink this and help them to remove their shackles, were not safe yet. We need to escape before they could found us." Kim s.h.i.+n seriously spoke, convincing Jonathan to take the health potion.

"I understand. Thank you."

At the Gythona Village's gate, hundreds of leather armored guard with a spear on their right hands, could be seen properly standing before the gate with serious expression on their face, they are going to face an early beast hordes this year.

On the village's wall, a 2-meter tall dark-brown man with a long face and long nose, fully armed by a green full plate armor with azure cape draped over his shoulder, could be seen standing atop of the wall, looking at the distance.

It's the guard's captain Khrusz!

With a solemn look, Khrusz couldn't stop himself from asking the soldier behind him, "Who said that I asked for everyone's presence here?"

"Y-You, sir!" The soldier stammered, unsure at his answer.

"I see..." Khrusz faintly nodded his head as if he understood the soldier's answer.

Hearing the words of his superior, the soldier was about to heaved a sighed of relief. However, before he could do it, a painful and heavy thing slammed on his head, causing him to fell face on the ground.

BANG!

"What the f.u.c.k are y'all doing? Why aren't you doing your job properly?!" Khrusz suddenly bellowed furiously after punching the poor soldier's head.

He couldn't believed that he's the captain of these idiots soldiers, to believed to someone without appropriate investigation.

"Did you hear anything from me? Did I ever asked you to call all the village's guard huh?!"

"N-No, sir. Forgive me!" The soldier hurriedly apologized, afraid to incite the anger of his superior even more.

"You fools! Go and find the person who made this mess. I'll give all a minute, and if you don't find that rat? then, I will make sure that y'all will experience horrible training." Khrusz's menacing voice sends a chilling feeling on the soldier's back as it s.h.i.+vered in horror.

"Now, Go!"

"Sir, yes sir!"

'Where is the key? We're running out of time!' Kim s.h.i.+n thought as he inspects Zaharias's corpse.

Kim s.h.i.+n decided to escape for now. After fighting Zaharias, he comprehend that fighting a couple of levels higher than him was a risky move. He was overconfident on his skills and experience in fighting.

However, his experience will be useless against a higher stats opponent.

Especially now that he's not alone, he won't be able to act reckless. He need to move accordingly, and carefully or else, they might die before they could leave the village

'I hope everything goes according to my plan.'

"Is this the key?" Kim s.h.i.+n wondered when he saw the rusty key on Zaharias's neck.

"s.h.i.+n, did you found the key?" Jonathan asked Kim s.h.i.+n after helping to remove the shackles on every prisoners.

"Mm." Kim s.h.i.+n nodded his head in response.

"That's good! We are good to go."

"Let's go."

"Ha... I never expect to see the outside world once again." One of the younger men spoke in a soft voice as he couldn't stop himself from sobbing.

Sob! Sob!

"Enough of that, we're safe first!" Kim s.h.i.+n interrupted the crying man. He then turned to face Jonathan who's in a better condition. "Uncle, do you still remember the plan?"

Wearing a leather armor, black pants, added with unscratched square face, Jonathan was simply a middle-aged man with a fatherly appearance. "Yes, you don't need to worry about us. Worry about yourself, don't be reckless."

Nodding his head, Kim s.h.i.+n then spoke, "Yes, I won't. But... Please be careful on the way."

"Mm."

"Okay, See you later!" Kim s.h.i.+n waved his hand in goodbye as he ran towards the village gate. However, before he could ran far away, Kim s.h.i.+n heard different voices, thanking and wis.h.i.+ng him luck.

"Thank you so much for saving us!"

"Please be careful!"

"We will wait for you, Good luck!"

Despite hearing their voices, Kim s.h.i.+n continued moving forward.

'Please be safe!'

'Now, all I need to do is, distracting the guards until Uncle Jonathan and others left the village!'
