Reincarnation Of Third-rate Swordsman

"Shoot, your most powerful attack at Ara."

Kim Shin strongly commanded, as his eyes glowed, which quickly followed by Lyra with the same glowing eyes of Kim Shin.

Ara slowly positioned her staff at Kim Shin's back, which certainly at Ara's location.

"With my fire, Incinerate everything in my path..."

Lyra slowly chanted, and a red magic circle appeared before her staff that made her hair swayed with the wind.

"Lyra, Stop! What are you doing?!"

Anxiously yelled by Ara, whose confusedly questioned herself about what happened to her friend.

"...FIRE STORM!"

At Lyra's declaration, a 3-meters twirling pillar of fire descended on Ara's place that caused a big explosion as it burns everything around it.

BOOOOOOOM!

"Kyaaah!"

Ara's agonizing cry could be heard, as her voice getting weaker at the same time, the pillar of fire died down.

The fire lasted for 5 seconds, and so Ara was burned inside for 5 seconds.

On the distance around where the explosions occurred, the other participants asked themselves at what happened.

"What was that?"

"Seems like there's a battle over there..."

And then they began to run at the location of Kim Shin and others.

On the other hand, Kim Shin frowned at the current situation.

Yes, he was right that Lyra could see her friend. However, Kim Shin doesn't know the reason why.

'Maybe Ara didn't tell me all the truth about her whip... and with this loud commotion, it was certainly heard by other participants, and this place will be crowded soon..."

Kim Shin thought and then he looked at Ara's situation.

And there he found, Ara lying on the ground. Her hair was totally incinerated with her both arms outstretched upwards as her body blackened like overcooked food, and also her left leg was completely destroyed by the fire power.

"She was almost cremated alive..."

He commented after he saw the gory look of Ara.

Then, as the Soul Control effect wore off. Lyra was back again on herself and her eye's widely open as tears flowed out of her reddish eyes.

Actually, she knew all the things happened. She's watching herself burning her friend from the deep inside of her consciousness.

In fact, She tried to resist Kim Shin's Soul Control. However, the Soul Control was too powerful to break off for her.

"It's not my fault... That's right it wasn't my fault. I didn't kill Ara, Haha..."

Lyra who's still crying, consoled herself that she did not kill Ara and began to laugh maniacally as if she's had been possessed.

On the other hand, Kim Shin remained calm as he watched the pitiful Lyra who's deeply broken once again.

Although, he felt sorry for controlling Lyra to kill her friend, it didn't bother him that much. Since they also have the intention to kill him.

Hence, Kim Shin began to charge at Lyra, with an intention to dispatch her as he instantly appeared before her.

"N-no, don't kill me. It's not my fault—"

However, Kim Shin didn't stop himself.

Because, he already could hear approaching footsteps. So, he's more on set to kill Lyra.

He unhesitatingly pierced Lyra's c.h.e.s.t straight into her heart.

"Ugh..."

Lyra's blood was leaking out of her c.h.e.s.t as she also vomited a mouthful of blood.

'Forgive me.'

Kim Shin apologized inwardly as he withdrew his long sword from Lyra's body and then Lyra eventually fell onto the ground.

As the system notified him that Lyra was already dead, the previous footsteps he heard had finally arrived.

"It seems that we're already late..."

Commented by a tall and muscular man that clad in full plate iron armor with a black two-handed sword at his back.

"Boss, look at that guy over there."

The man with a goat mustache behind the muscular man spoke, and then he pointed his finger at Kim Shin who waved his sword as Lyra's blood got off the long sword. He then continued;

"Do you think he's the reason of the explosion that happened earlier?"

At that question, the muscular man frowned while contemplating his subordinate words.

"What are you guys doing? Aren't you going to attack? or you guys waiting for me to move?"

"Damn—"

The man with a goat mustache was about to charge at Kim Shin. However, he was stopped by his Boss.

"Stop it, Chang!"

"But Boss Yun! He's clearly belittling us!"

Chang reasoned.

Yet, his Boss Yun, didn't budge at his words. It just looked quietly at Kim Shin.

Boss Yun could feel that Kim Shin was formidable just by looking at Kim Shin whose remained calmly standing before them despite the disadvantage in number.

While Boss Yun was staring at Kim Shin, Chang, who couldn't stand the smug face of Kim Shin anymore, immediately charged at Kim Shin with a two iron dagger on his both hands.

"No, Chang!"

Boss yun loudly called out in surprise as he tried to stop Chang, he didn't understand what's wrong with his subordinate to suddenly charge. However, he's already too late.

SLASH!

THUD!

Kim Shin cut Chang in half from head to toe without a problem which shocked Boss Yun.

[You've obtained 1 Killed Point]

"H-How?!"

Boss Yun uttered in stupefication. He couldn't comprehend at what happened. He didn't see how his subordinate died.

All he just saw was a flashed and then his subordinate wad already cut in half.

'He's demon!'

Boss Yun could only think to run. Even himself couldn't kill his subordinate Chang without taking a damage.

So, facing Kim Shin was just looking for death. Then, he unhesitatingly turned around and run at full speed.

Unfortunately, Kim Shin already moved forward before Boss Yun could run far away.

WHOOOSH

The quick approaching footstep of Kim Shin was like a death reaper footstep at Boss Yun ears.

'No, I won't die like this. I will have a new and better life this time. I couldn't just die now.'

Boss Yun thought as he unsheathe his black two-handed sword and was about to surprise Kim Shin. However, Kim Shin moved too quickly that before Boss Yun could turn around, he already cut her neck.

[You've obtained 1 Killed Point]

Thud!

Boss Yun body fell on the ground and followed up by his head that fell across his body.

"I need five more points to get the required amounts for entering the second floor..."

Kim Shin murmured as he looked at the corpse around him.

"It seems I couldn't Soul Cleave all of them, I can't just waste time. Maybe someone was already close to the fifth floor or already at the sixth floor."
