Chapter 499 Victor Philips



From MC's Perspective:

I'm searching the whole of Brownwood town. But I haven't found anyone suspicious so far. When I was lost in thoughts, my gaze fell on the butcher shop.

The butcher shop appeared to be ransacked. This was just a thought. But to verify, I walked to the shop.

The butcher appears to be a middle-aged man. But his current expression was sad. Like he had lost something. 

When I walked in front of him. He didn't even feel my presence.

"Cough"

I coughed to attract his attention.

ραпdα- n૦νe|`c,0m The butcher came to his senses. Right after he agitated and asked, "Who are you?"

I raised my eyebrows but I didn't mind his rude words. Looking at him, I asked, "Have you seen anyone suspicious recently in this town?"

The butcher broke out in cold sweat right after hearing my words.

A quick glint flashes in my eyes. This guy knows something.

I slightly glanced at the damaged shop. Don't tell me this has something to do with the culprit. 

"If you know something, you can tell me without any fear. Because I came here to kill him," I said.

When the words fell in the butcher's ears. He felt a hole reignited in his heart. 

"Who are you?" 

"Are you gonna kill him?" The butcher asked in a trembling tone.

My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. 

"I'm a warrior from the Saw Scale Viper Academy. My task is to kill the culprit as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I will help you. But first, can you tell me the appearance of the culprit," I asked.

The Butcher regained his hope and replied, "Yes my lord. A few days ago, a stranger entered my shop. I thought he was a customer. But he was eyeing my 15-year-old daughter."

"Because of that, a huge confrontation broke out. He then damaged my shop in anger before going out. He gave me a few days to agree to his request. He wants me to send my daughter to him on the outskirts of the town," 

After saying that the butcher broke down on the ground. He was weeping. 

Sigh~ 

A single elite warrior causes such terror. This is nothing compared to his previous list of crimes. But fortunately, I got his whereabouts. This guy is lurking on the outskirts. 

Maybe I can catch him now. Before leaving, I assured the butcher that I will kill the culprit for sure. 

Swish~ 

I dashed towards the exit. I walked out of the town a few minutes later. I spread my perception around me. 

Then I picked up a direction and began to search. 

Shortly after, I spotted a burning smoke. The fire was not natural. Seeing that, I dashed toward the location.

When I got closer, I saw a campfire. Someone is roasting meat there. Seeing that my eyes flickered with a twinkle. 

The aura coming from the person is that of a strong elite warrior. I spread my perception around the person and walked closer to him.

Hearing footsteps. The person suddenly turned toward me. 

Seeing that my mouth curved into an arc.

"Victor Philips," I said.

Hearing the name the person attacked me straight away. He shot a green flame ball at me. 

Seeing the strange flame color. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. "Mutater Fire," I said in my heart.

No doubt this person is the culprit. I evaded the attack and rushed towards him.

Victor Phillips was flustered at first. But when he saw the enemy's base. He regained his confidence. 

"Harumph, I'm stronger than you," Victor said with a snort. 

The next second, he covered his fist with green flames to attack.

When I got closer to him. I raised my right fist to punch him. 

Right after my fist comes in contact with his green flame fist.

Boom~ 

The next moment, a strong collision force swept away the surroundings including the campfire.

Argh~ 

Victor's fist bones were crushed and his right arm suffered damage from the collisions. The next moment, a muffled groan escaped from his throat. 

Pfff~ 

Coughing up blood. A hint of terror flashes in Victor's eyes.

"Body Strength comparable to Super Elite Warrior?"

"Who are you?"

Victor asked in confusion. He had made sure that his traces were erased. Then how come someone can come here in search of him?

Ignoring his question, I decided to end his life in the next move.

For that, I'm going to use my new blood technique.

I mobilized the red blood energy from my bones. In a blink of an eye, it reached my arm and gathered around my fist. 

Feeling the power in my fist, I cracked up a wide grin. 

Swish!

The next second, I raised my fist to punch him again. This time my fist is filled with blood power but it's invisible to the eyes.

Victor's right arm was crippled. At this moment, he made a decisive decision to flee. 

Seeing that enemy is fleeing. I increased my speed. In a blink of an eye, I slammed his back using my punch.

Crack~ 

My fist tore through the enemy's back, smashing his inner organs.

Tud!

The next moment, the lifeless body of Victor dropped to the ground. My fist left a huge hole in his back. 

"It's over," I uttered with a smile on my face. I thought it would take a few days to find him. But fortunately, I ended his life before he committed another crime.

Now, I can go back to Viper City. But before doing that I should revisit the butcher. Maybe he will gain peace after seeing the decapitated head.

I can't take the whole corpse back to the academy. It would arouse suspicions. Because I purely used my body's strength to kill the enemy.

The next moment, I took out the black sword from the storage ring and sliced the corpse's neck. The next second, a decapitated head rolled over the ground.

Then I glanced at the corpse's hand. I spotted the black storage ring. This guy? I don't know how many places he had ransacked.

I removed the storage ring and placed it in mine. This is not the time to explore the storage ring. It might contain restrictions. 

Then I stored the decapitated head before destroying the headless corpse. My first mission went smoothly. 

Several minutes later,

I arrived in front of the butcher shop. 

"Lord?" Butcher said. His complexion was better than before.

Looks like my words affected him. 

"The villain is dead," I said, looking at him.

"What?" The butcher exclaimed in surprise.

Then right before his eyes, I showed him the decapitated head. 

"He was the one who caused the havoc here," The butcher replied with relief. 

Then I left after showing him the evidence. On the way, I started to recollect my thoughts. On the mission request, the image of Victor Philip is different compared to the real face.

So this guy had been staying low-key without attracting the attention of the authorities. But it's a pity, he died under my hands in the end. 

I plan to stay here tonight. Anyway, the mission was over. I didn't find it any rush to go back. 

So I quickly found a small inn. I paid the rent to the inn owner before going to the room.

After entering inside, I looked at the room. The room was simple. There is one single-cushion bed and a small couch. And there is also one attached bathroom.

A surprise glint flashes in my eyes. The arrangement was better than in many lower-tier cities. Maybe I was right. This small town was built for some reason. 

The following day,

I woke up earlier. After completing the morning routine, I looked at the outside view through the window. Seeing that town people are active this morning.

It reminds me of home. 

Sigh~ 

After sighing, I decided to cultivate. There is a lightning element in the environment. So I'm going to cultivate the blood element method.

Before doing that, I thought about checking Victor's storage ring. It might contain monster cores.

The next moment, I took out Victor's storage ring. I observed the black storage ring before seeping my consciousness into it. 

Seeing that there were no restrictions. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. Then I began to explore the storage ring.

I saw fire affinity stones, herbs, pills, and a few broken books. And finally saw some monster cores. 

Seeing that, I wasn't surprised. The monster cores can be sold for a few thousand alliance points.

The next second, I took one Class-4 monster core for cultivation.

I sat cross-legged and started to run the blood element method. Slowly, I began to absorb the monster's core energies.

When the energy entered my body. Blood red light appears above the blood. It immediately sucked the monster's energy and converted them into white energy. 

Then white energies drilled into my bones and started to expand the red-marked area.

Seeing that I continued to repeat the process. 

Several minutes later,

The monster's core crumbled into pieces. Seeing that, I picked up another monster core to continue the cultivation.
