Reincarnation Of Third-rate Swordsman Chapter 85: Light Reaper Vs. Kim Shin - II

"Found ya!" The man that suddenly appeared said in a husky tone of voice.

"S-Save m—" The bleeding man wanted to call for help. However, his words were immediately cut when a flashed of light cut his neck, removing his head from his body.

Pssh!

Bloods sprayed out of the headless body.

Thud!

"Hehehehahaha. No one can escape from me. Hehahaha" The white-haired man laughed crazily as he glared at Kim Shin and Victor while sticking out his tongue out.

'Isn't this the man I saw on the 1st floor?' Kim Shin could vividly remember this white-haired young man who has the same height as him.

'What happened to him? And where his party members?' He couldn't help but think.

"Young man, what should we do now?" Victor who was a bit taken aback at what happened, asked Kim Shin seriously.

Hearing Victor's question, Kim Shin said seriously. "Prepare yourself."

Then, he reached out his right hand on his right side, and white light in a figure of a sword appeared before his hand.

He then clenched the light and it immediately turned to a long steel sword.

"Okay!" Victor replied as, he unhesitatingly brought out his black magic stick.

Though, he didn't have any idea why Kim Shin became too serious after he saw the white-haired man. He still could feel that he needed to put his guard on peak.

With the sudden appearance of the white-haired man, he knew that this man is on a different level, compared to other participants that they encountered.

"Summon golem!" Victor chanted while pointing his black magic stick downward. Then, a yellow-gold shining magic circle appeared on the ground, 2-meters before him, illuminating the dimly lit surrounding.

Crack!

The ground began to crack, creating number of rubble. Then, those rocks began to pile up, making a 3-meter tall golem.

Roar!

Without any hint, the golem immediately released a loud roar toward the white-haired man. Then, without wasting more time, Victor pointed his magic stick forward and commanded his golem. "Go! Don't give him any mercy!"

Roar! Boom! Boom!

The golem quickly moved forward after a faint roar, causing a loud sound with every step it takes.

Seeing Victor's action, Kim Shin didn't stop him but, emotionlessly stare at the advancing golem. He wanted to know to what extent this white-haired man's ability could wield.

He is being extra cautious to other participants on this floor. Because, every participant who managed to reach this stage is either lucky or formidable.

He absolutely needs to be vigilant. Since, he might encounter the sole survivor of the 'Killer's Tower' before, the Light Reaper.

He heard before that the 'Light Reaper' was akin to a death reaper itself, who could kill without batting an eye to anyone, any age or gender.

And why he was called the 'Light Reaper'?

It's because, with just a flashed of light, his target will horribly die headless.

Although at this stage, he's still baffled for what might be the reason, why there is only a single survivor before. He cannot understand why there was only one survivor in the past.

The system also didn't give any hint about no one could survive except to the winner.

He's still puzzled, maybe that there is a hidden rule in this event that, after climbing the last floor of the tower, everyone will die except to the winner.

Or

There might be something big happened before in killer's tower.

He doesn't know, and he doesn't care at all. All he needs to do now is to take extra caution.

BOOM! BOOM!

"Hehehe. A big one is coming!" The white-haired man mumbled while smiling as he looked straight to the advancing golem, without any hint of fear on his face.

He then changed his posture by leaning his body forward with his left hand on the ground, and his sword on the right shoulder, then without any cue, a white charging light like lightning, appeared on the white-haired man's feet.

Boom!

The ground instantly crumbled, then, without hesitation, the white-haired man bolted straight to the golem, with amazing speed, leaving a trail of white lightning.

Whooosh!

Clang!

Slasssssh! Crack~

A sound of metal colliding with rock resounds followed up by the faint sound of cracking stone.

Crack~

Cracking continued.

Thud!

Then, the giant stone golem, began to crumble to pieces, showing the grinning white-haired man standing so close to the debris of the stone monster.

"Wh-What just happened?" Victor stuttering said. He couldn't believe what he witnessed. He then couldn't help but think. 'I felt like this is also happened to me before…'

With this thought running in his mind, Victor subconsciously turned his head to the right, towards Kim Shin who's frowning.

"Hehehe. What? Don't like to attack now?" The white-haired man spoke while smiling creepily.

'If you criminals don't want to move, then die to atone for your sins!' He thought as he unhesitatingly dashed towards the hunch back old man, who's not looking at him.

Whoosh!

In just an instant, the white-haired man appeared before his target and immediately swung down his sword with a wide smile, knowing that he's about to slay another criminal once again. However, before his sword could hit his target, in just a blink of an eye, a terrifying aura appeared before him, parried his attack that caused a few sparks.

Clang!

"It seems like your looking down on me." Kim Shin spoke while locking swords with the white-haired man. He felt a little bit annoyed for some reason.

Looking at the person at his front, the white-haired man suddenly became serious, knitting his eyebrows. He felt like he saw this man before.

'AH! This is the man I saw on the 1st floor with my uncles!' He exclaimed internally. Then, as if something snapped in his mind, his red eyes began to glow faintly.

"You! You're the reason why my Uncles died!" The white-haired man screamed out of his lungs, causing Kim Shin to frowned in puzzlement.

"Huh?" Kim Shin subconsciously answered. He doesn't have any idea about this man's accusation.

'So, they died, that's why I couldn't see them.' Kim Shin thought, clearing his curiosity. However, he still doesn't know the reason why they died, and why this white-haired man accusing him, his uncles' killers.

Victor, who's behind Kim Shin got totally jolted back at his senses, after being saved from the death reaper.

His back was soaked with cold sweat and thankful at Kim Shin at the same time. Still, he's also curious at the sudden development.

'This white-haired man seems like have a past encounter with Kim Shin.' He thought.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Kim Shin continued as he put force on his arms pushing the white-haired man's sword, causing the man to forcefully jumped backward.

"Don't deny it! You all criminals are the same!" The white-haired man shouted after jumping back. He then leaped forward at Kim Shin without a hint of hesitation.

Whoosh!

Clang!

A loud sound of collided metal echoed out after Kim Shin threw strike the same time the white-haired man reach him, causing the sword of the man to bounce back a little.

"I don't even know you, and I just met you once." Kim Shin retorted. He then took a big step with his left foot, entering the white-haired man guard, then, he immediately threw a left punch to the abdomen, which timely defended with a skinny arm.

BOOM!

The impact caused a loud sound followed up by weak shockwave, blowing the white-haired man 6-meters backward, leaving a long footprint on the ground.

"Hehehe. You're different than a common criminal. I couldn't imagine how many people did you already killed with your strength. Hence, I should enact justice for those people you've killed." The psycho white-haired man spoke after a creepy laughed. As if, he didn't even care about Kim Shin's previous attack, despite his shaking left hand.

Kim Shin frowned at the white-haired man words. He didn't know what's wrong with this man.

"Hehehehehe. Die!" The white-haired man shouted as he thrust his sword that glowing with red light toward Kim Shin, leaving a trail of red light.

Whoosh!

'A skill?' Kim Shin thought while still frowning. He then hurriedly ordered the watching Victor behind him. "Move far behind, old man!" Then, he lowered his sword, taking a stance.

And when the white-haired man's glowing sword almost reach his chest, few centimeters away, he immediately swung his sword to the left as he stepped back his left foot, and twisting his waist along with his left shoulder counterclockwise, while directing the glowing sword away from him.

BOOM!

'Opening!' Kim Shin exclaimed in his mind after dodging the powerful sword skill.

Shockwave exploded out even the sword missed his target. However, before he could make a counter-attack, the sword that just passed him, began to glow with red light once again, surprising him.

"Sharp Slash!" The white-haired man uttered.

Then, the red glowing sword horizontally swung to his chest once more, which reflexively parried by Kim Shin. However, the attack didn't end there. It followed up by a slant strike toward his left shoulder. Alas before it could hit him, Kim Shin quickly punched the white-haired man's abdomen, interrupting the combo, causing the man to blown several meters backward crashing and rolling on the ground.

Cough! Cough!

The white-haired man coughed a mouthful of blood while still lying on the ground.

"Hehehehe. It hurts but, I like it!" The obviously injured man still laughed as he slowly stood up.

"You're insane." Kim Shin commented.

"Yeah! I'm insane. So, what if I'm insane? I could still kill you. I'm acting for justice! Hehehehe" The white-haired man replied loudly, without any care about the blood on the corner of his lips.

"Heh! How could you kill me with that condition?" Kim Shin said as he smirked.

"Are you looking down on me?!" The white-haired man unrestrainedly shouted. He then continued. "Ha! Then, prepare yourself for your… END!"

After saying those words, a blinding white light suddenly engulfed the white-haired man.

'Hmm…' Kim Shin frowned deeply as he intently watched the white-haired man who's shrouded with white light when suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the light and the white-haired man vanished from Kim Shin's eyesight which surprised him.

'Where he go? Invisibility?' Kim Shin couldn't help but thought as he carefully observed his surroundings. Victor also looked around him, afraid that the man might suddenly appear behind him.

Then, out of nowhere, a creepy laugh echoed out. "HEHEHEHE…"

'Where is he?' Kim Shin thought. Since he couldn't pinpoint where the voice came from.

While he's carefully looking to his left and right, a small ball of light emerged out of thin air before his face, and a red glowing sword rushed to him, which greatly surprised him. Then, without a second thought, he immediately activated his speed booster.

'Accelerator'

Then, he hastily leaped backward, dodging the thrusting sword that also brought a wild shockwave, hitting his face, forcing him to close his eyes, as his hair flapped wildly with the strong wind.

'Haaa! It almost got me!' Kim Shin thought while sighing in his mind.

'What skill is that?'
