Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 3: The Oath Knight
".This is not a peaceful world."

There is no need for any instruction manual, just the corpses on the road and the mass graves on both sides are enough to tell you everything.

When entering the city and being asked for a bribe, Rean smiled along, but he was not used to it.

While being ridiculed as a "degenerate bastard", the guard casually grabbed a handful of food from the truck in front of him, with a greedy look on his face. What made him even more uncomfortable was that the audience around him looked calm, as if it was supposed to be this way.

“Is it right that it should be this way, as it has always been?”

But he knew that his arms couldn't twist the big mouth.

He once again transformed into a "chameleon" and tried to integrate into the rules of this new world.

It's quite easy. Just pretend to be blind, use your keen sense of smell to avoid troubles, and protect yourself.

Thus, he witnessed the city's sorrow, cheap prostitutes, beggars with broken legs, and the killer who walked by dragging the bag of bloody tail.

He lied. He had seen the serial killer the police officer talked about, but he just trembled in the shadows.

“No, that’s not correct.”

Only when he is alone, facing Lee Eun-su in the mirror, will he tell the truth.

"Yes, this is wrong. Black is black, white is white. Tolerating evil is also a sin!"

At this moment, the same voice echoed in his body, and his mumbling was responded to by an unknown existence.

"Sin-breaking Slash!"

The silver blade light tore through the sky, and the silver blade of judgment unfolded in space.

The ones roaring out were not only the ancient heroic spirits, but also the young man who was forced to keep a fake smile!

"Justice, never compromise!"

The sharp blade of the Paladin of Ancient Oath directly destroyed the small space. The original sword of the brave man burst into a dazzling silver light in his hand, even surpassing the original owner.

"Ahhh!"

Outside, there was a scream.

Outside the shattered door was a hotel attendant, his face filled with fear, as if he were innocent.
"I see. You lured them here?"

The emblem of the scales appeared above Rean's eyes, but he just raised his right hand.

"Before the heaven of law, evil will not be able to hide."

A dazzling red light shone on the waiter, and the power from the goddess of law made a judgment, and the sinners were colored in the realm.

This color of sinful light killed at least three people within two weeks of the ability taking effect.

"Click."

Human heads flew and blood splattered on Rean's face, but he was completely unmoved.

Holding the sword in his left hand, his right hand still maintained the field of judgment. In the holy eyes of the balance, the entire hotel was red and purple.

This is obviously a black shop, so
"Sin-breaking Slash!"

The criminal who was dealing drugs was suddenly cut in half.

Those stained crimson by the light of punishment are all evildoers worthy of the death penalty.

"Destroy evil!"

The shop owner, who was waiting for his share of the profits, completed the middle cut directly.

"Broken Shoe Slash!"

He swung the silver arc, turning all the confused thugs into headless ones.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall, as if some powerful person was coming urgently.

"Conviction."

But this time, the silver blade stopped.

It stopped in front of the nose of the frightened Leopard Police Officer.

What made him stop was not the police officer's badge, but the fact that she was still innocent in the realm of sin.

"Put down your weapons." Even though she was trembling all over, she still insisted.

"The law enforcers of this era are a bit slow, but they're okay."

"Rean" looked around and saw that the eleven criminals in the black shop had been cut in two. There were no more criminals in the sin zone, so he threw away the silver sword of the brave.

He was then tackled by a group of police officers.

So he was arrested.

But an hour later, he was released.

"I never thought that in this era there are still ancient oath knights, and they are still so powerful."

Inside the police station, female officer Talia sighed as she watched the young man leaving. She lamented her own shallowness for treating this devout man as a powerless lamb.

If an ordinary person massacred an inn, killed eleven people, and was caught at the crime scene, this would obviously be a serious crime. But if the executioner was a classic Holy Oath Knight and the target was a black shop in the dock area, then it would be normal law enforcement.

The Holy Oath Knight is a rare advancement of the Paladin. They are a type of warrior that is almost extinct in modern times. They are pious people who need to declare to protect all virtues. Before their holy power protection loses its effect, they can become an existence of absolute justice.

Humility, honesty, compassion, bravery, sacrifice, honor. Even the lowest level of oath-keeping is inhuman asceticism.

And this oath-taker is even more outrageous.

"Never let go of the evil before you!"

"Never give up protecting the innocent and weak!"

"Justice, never compromise."

These oaths are so outrageous that people wonder how he is still alive today.

The heavy shackles bring even more extraordinary power. Such a pious person uses his own sin domain to judge people. If he says someone is guilty, then he is definitely guilty, unless you can first prove that he has violated his oath and lost his holy power.

". Lizardman hybrid Rean Sudar, a degenerate species."

Talia inexplicably felt that the name sounded familiar, as if she had heard it a few days ago.

She searched her memories and actually found the name. "A distant relative of Count Sudar's family in this city, the fiancé of that dazzling, radiant pearl? Uh, wasn't he said to be a worthless coward? Rumors are truly unbelievable." Remembering the comments she'd heard before, Taliyah felt even more uncertain.

This guy is probably a master of disguise. When I first met him, I didn't realize it at all. I thought he was just another pedantic nobleman.

For her, this was also a small episode. At present, Big Head was still the tail hunter who was suspected to be a follower of the evil god.

It is known that there were at least thirty victims within six months, most of whom were young children.

The case itself is not the most troublesome thing. The troublesome thing is the pursuit of the case itself, which seems to be interfered with by an invisible hand.

"Trouble, I have to write another report."

She thought it was just a chance encounter, but on her way home from get off work, she ran into the sworn paladin again.

He was blocking the middle of the road.

Behind him is a pair of injured civilian mother and daughter.
On the gorgeous carriage he stopped was the spider web family crest of the noble Labo!
"parking!"

The roar echoed throughout the street, shocking everyone.

This is a powerful aristocrat, and you're just playing with him like this?!
And this was just the beginning. He raised his right hand and summoned the realm of judgment for sin right on the street.

"No way!"

The female police officer was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, she reacted.

Based on this gentleman's oath, what will he do? What can he do?!

"Stop, don't do that, they are powerful nobles."

But it was too late. The moment the red-faced baron appeared, a deadly silver light swallowed up the entire street.

"Ahhhh!"

Screams of murder were heard in the streets and chaos was spreading.

But this is still just the beginning.

The sharp blade directly split the carriage in half, and the Oath Knight dragged out a bag from under the seat.

The bag thrown on the street was thrown open, revealing a bunch of bloody tails!
"It's over, it's completely over."

So, "Rean" returned to the police station again, and this time he spent the night there.

"It's over, it's completely over."

The next morning, looking at the completely unfamiliar ceiling of the police station, Li En was a little confused.

He stared at the "pages" in his hand, completely confused.

It wasn't because he had committed a serious crime, he was actually quite sober at that time, but
"Don't give up on any weak person in need. Is this why you squatted at the intersection for three hours, helping a dozen elderly people cross the street? The old lady even recognized you!!"

"He made a solemn promise and you used your dragon eye to rip it apart. He has a wife and three kids back home, what's it to you? That woman is a jerk and a bitch, what's it to you? They're a perfect match, a jerk and a bitch! Why do you care about them?!"

"The most outrageous thing is that you not only talk to fallen women and ask them to start over, but you also chase after those who sell pornographic videos. They all treat you like a psychopath. Is this something you, a knight, should be involved in?"

The experience was so shameful that he rolled around on his bed in the detention center.

But shamefully, shamefully, he laughed.

Smile, laugh, laugh wildly, and finally laugh out two tears. At least, this is much more comfortable than being a dog with its tail between its legs.

"Foolish justice, the power of heroic spirits"

A card appeared in Rean's hand. On it was a two-handed sword knight wearing century-old heavy armor. His eyes were like lightning, and behind him was a silver scale symbolizing justice and judgment.

Maybe it was because of the fusion, but under the helmet was Rean's own face, but he looked more mature.

"This is what it feels like to be possessed by a heroic spirit."

Li En knew that the heroic spirit was still possessed by him, but his thinking pattern and behavioral logic had changed.

Crime should be punished, and justice should not be delayed or compromised.

And that book also showed his changes.

[Rean (normally possessed by the Heroic Spirit)]

[Synchronization Rate: 14% (Warning: If the synchronization rate is lower than 10%, the Heroic Spirit Possession will end prematurely)]

Satisfaction: 7%. (Warning: If satisfaction falls below 10% at the end of the Heroic Soul Possession, no rewards will be left. The higher the satisfaction, the higher the reward.)

At this moment, he was still possessed by the heroic spirit, but the synchronization rate was much lower than the 30% just summoned.

Before, when he saw a petty thief, he wanted to kill him with a knife, but now he would call the police to solve the problem.

The transmission that comes from the depths of the soul still exists, but it can be slightly suppressed.

But as a result, the power from the heroic spirit also decreased significantly as the synchronization rate dropped.

[Species Level: Inferior Stone, Temporary Occupation Level: Second-Order Classical Oath Knight, First-Order Paladin, First-Order Warrior (This temporary occupation will disappear after 14 days and 2 hours)]

[Possess temporary professional abilities: Evil Break (degraded), Judgment of the Sinful Realm (degraded), Holy Healing (unusable), Holy Flame (unusable)]

Of the originally long list of professional abilities, only the first two can be used, and both are weakened versions.

"How can we increase the synchronization rate and satisfaction?" Li En realized that in this extraordinary world, the power of the heroic spirit attached to this ancient book would be the foundation of his life.

The initial peak may have been just a period of outbreak and trial, and now it has stabilized, and this book seems to suggest that it can be increased again.

He looked at the other people in the cell. The largest bed here was already occupied by him. The Holy Oath Knight did not indulge the other prisoners. When he sentenced a crime, he also "educated" his brothers in the cell.

"Isn't the answer here? Sin Domain Trial."

A faint red light came out, and Li En smiled happily.

"Breaking Evil. Punch!!"

So, Rean started his morning training early in the morning by talking with his fists.

"It's increased, it really has increased, the synchronization rate has increased by 0.5%, and the satisfaction rate has increased by 1%!"

Well, I'm starting to write the new book steadily, updating a large chapter (3,000 to 4,000 words) every day. After it's released, I'll start at 4,000 words per day (broken down into chapters depending on the situation). Currently, I'm trying to update every morning.
