[A flash of black light] Reed, wielding his greatsword, charged forward and stood before the ten men blocking his path.

Before anyone could see clearly, one of their companions was cleaved in two by Red.

When everyone's attention turned to their companion, they were all stunned by the horrifying scene before them.

[Stunned] Everyone's heart was pounding, their adrenaline was surging, but no matter how they tried to move their feet, they couldn't.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Reed delivered another powerful punch to the other man's head, slamming him against the wall.

The flesh was twisted, the bones were broken, and the brain matter had leaked out.

The overwhelming fear forced the others to wake up, screaming and attacking Reed.

[A Difficult Survival] A man, holding an iron bar he had picked up, swung it at Red's head.

Reed easily dodged the attack and was preparing to counterattack when...

[Excessive Cost] Reed suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, experienced severe tinnitus in his ears, and his blood vessels suddenly swelled.

Reed was distracted for a few seconds by this unexpected turn of events.

And it was during Reed's moment of distraction...

[One more heist!] One man, trembling, gripped his dagger tightly and yelled as he stabbed Reid.

[The Fly Maggot's Hungry Knife] A man with a knife in his hand circled behind Red and slashed him in the back.

A little blood oozed from the spot where Reed had been hit...

Reed slowly recovered, but gained a new effect.

[Madness] (Excessive desire can drive a person mad) Madness has a maximum of 5 stacks, with effects of ■■■■

Everyone noticed that Reed seemed to be emitting a faint red aura, but before they could figure out what it was...

One of his companions was grabbed by Red and slammed against the wall!

"Splat!" Half of his companion's body was smashed into a bloody pulp, while the other half was stuck to the wall, where cracks appeared.

Seeing this, everyone swung their weapons and slashed at Reed.

Strangely, Reed didn't parry at all, which resulted in all the attacks landing on him.

Reed swung his broadsword, hacking at the people in front of him one blow at a time.

There was no defense along the way, only offense.

The others watched as more and more of their companions died, while Reed seemed unaffected and even appeared to be fighting more fiercely.

Reed's reckless, no-holds-barred fighting style put everyone on edge.

And the number of people was dwindling, with each death more horrific and tragic than the last, causing many to abandon their weapons and flee.

The ground along the path was covered in bits of flesh and blood, and blood had splattered onto the walls.

There are only four enemies left on the field. All four of them are cowards who sneak around and slack off.

Now everyone in front is dead, leaving only the four of them.

"It's over! How can these guys be so useless?! They can't even beat one person!"

"Only us left? So fast? A few bastards got away!"

"What the hell are you talking about! This person is wrapped up like that, there must be a monster inside!"

"I don't care! Even if I run away, I'll still get killed by those debt collectors! They can't kill him! I just want some money! I'll at least get some money!"

The man's eyes turned bloodshot as he finished speaking, and he saw Noelle cowering to the side, trembling.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot, this guy seems to have brought a little girl with him!"

"Grab her and extort some money from her!"

After saying that, one of them started running towards Noelle.

Noelle overheard the four people's conversation and was so frightened she couldn't move.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

The other person reached out a hand and quickly grabbed the sleeve of Noelle's old overcoat.

My plan was to grab her wrist, drag her over, then lock her neck and extort money from her.

But... "Why is this not what I imagined?"

The man looked at the old overcoat in his hand, and somewhat disbelievingly examined it...

Wait a minute! Wasn't I grabbing the other person's wrist? And I wasn't grabbing their coat collar either!

The man looked up again and saw that Noelle had no arms...

The man looked at the coat and then at Noelle.

"Hey? Not buddy? You're such a..." Before the man could finish speaking, Reed punched him against the wall.

The remaining three people, seeing this scene, shouted in their hearts.

(Spicy!!)

The three of them were now covered in sweat, their minds racing as they searched for a way to survive!

In less than a second, the three of them came up with the same idea.

"Run!!" The three of them quickly ran backwards.

But all of this was in vain. Reed easily caught up with the three of them, then stabbed each of them.

【End of battle】

Noelle looked at Reid, who was covered in blood, with a hint of fear.

Noelle was afraid that Reid might kill her too. Although she hadn't witnessed the bloody scene, the terrifying screams and the sounds of the battle...

Noel could still hear it, but she dared not open her eyes or speak.

Trembling and cowering in the corner

The sound of Reed's feet splattering on the blood on the ground grew closer to Noelle.

Noelle grew increasingly tense upon hearing the noise, and just then...

"What are you doing squatting here? Are you hungry again?" A voice utterly lacking in tact rang out.

Noelle breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the unchanged voice.

Noelle was genuinely terrified that Reid might suddenly change; even just a change in his voice would scare her half to death.

But Noelle still dared not open her eyes, after all, the surroundings were bound to be filled with bloodshed and gore!

Just after Reed killed those three people, he turned around and saw Noelle.

At that moment, Reed had a strong urge to kill Noelle as well; had he not possessed a strong will, he almost lost control.

So just now, Reed quickly plucked the Heart of Desire and put it into his water bag.

This thing didn't have such severe side effects when we were at the company. It's so dangerous without the suppressor.

It was also very difficult to pull out; it hurt a bit when it was pulled out, and I even felt a little weak.

Because Noelle's eyes were closed, she didn't see Reed pull out her heart.

Back in the present, Noelle slowly stood up, barely able to breathe from the stench of blood in the air.

Noelle, with her eyes closed, said to Reed, "Help me out, I...I can't look, hurry! It hurts so much..."

(Tch~ Rich people are such a hassle! It's just a dozen or so people, why are they so scared?)

Reed mentally scoffed, then walked over to Noelle and put his arm around her to support her.

Although Reed doesn't know many things, he can at least help someone up.

However, helping him up was a bit difficult; Reid is over 1.8 meters tall, while Noelle is only a little over 1.5 meters tall.

Red needed to bend down to hold on, but he found it troublesome, so he simply stopped bending over.

He simply picked Noelle up with both hands, not in the princess carry you might be thinking, just a simple hug...

It's like a person holding a shield in front of them with both hands.

Noelle, equally unconvinced, began to shout and fidget.

Reed didn't care about any of that and finally followed the path to the exit.

Reed placed the wriggling Noelle on the ground. Noelle slowly opened her eyes and was relieved to find that it wasn't a bloody scene.

After taking a few deep breaths, Noelle said to Reid, "Show me the map!"

Reed held the map up to Noelle's eyes. Noelle looked around at the scenery, then looked at the map.

"We've arrived! To be precise, we've arrived at the city walls of the civilian district..."

The two looked up and saw a city wall built of stone bricks.

The city walls completely kept the slums out, and the walls were heavily guarded.

The soldiers were all carrying crossbows, and several guards stood watch at the main gate beneath the city wall.

Red saw someone trying to enter the slums take some money out of their pocket and give it to the guard.

The guard waved casually, and the man tightened his grip on his backpack and went inside.

So it turned out that all you had to do was pay some money to get in. Reed prepared to take a step forward.

Noelle blocked him with her shoulder, nudged Reid, and said, "Are you stupid! Look ahead again!"

Looking further ahead, Reed realized that paying to enter the city was the second step.

The first step involved many guards checking people entering the civilian area.

They held Noelle's bounty poster in their hands and compared it to the person in front of them several times before letting them pass.

It seems that even entering the civilian district is a hassle...
