Reincarnation Of Third-rate Swordsman Chapter 88: Signing Contract with a Devil

"Kill them! This is our gift! We will let you guys follow that wimpy kid in hell! Hahahaha." The long black-haired man announced and the two men behind him immediately advance forward.

"Young man, what should we do?" Victor questioned Kim Shin.

"Nothing." Kim Shin simply answered while staring toward the two men, who are quickly dashing to their location.

"Huh? Why?" Victor confusedly asked. Feeling puzzled at Kim Shin's answer. He didn't know what the heck this young man thinking to do nothing in the face of their assailants.

"Because we don't need to." Kim Shin mysteriously answered.

"Huh—?" Victor still couldn't understand Kim Shin meaning, until he saw the lying Clay slowly and shakily stood up. Which truly surprised him, he thought that they already got that insane white-haired man.

"I've finally found you three rats!!!" Clay eerie voice filled the surroundings. Although seemingly forceful, Clay's voice was still filled with oppressing aura.

'Is he really an immortal?' Kim Shin confusedly thought, however, he quickly shook his head. 'No, he's only forcing himself right now...'

"Y-You're still alive?!" The long black-haired man stammered with wide-open eyes, utterly shocked at the sudden situation.

While the two advancing men abruptly stop as they shivered in fright. Who thought that the lifeless man is now standing before them. Seemingly prepared to take his vengeance. Then, without any ounce of hesitation, they immediately ran beside the long black-haired man.

"How can I die when you three are still alive and kicking?" Clay faintly answered. But, his voice was obviously filled with vengeful energy.

"Big Brother Maggard, what should we do now?" The man in maroon robe asked the long black-haired man.

"Tsk!" Maggard clicked his tongue before he answered as he narrowed his eyes in displeasure. "Don't be fooled by him, he's too weak to fight us with his current condition."

"And how about those guys at the back?" Whispered by the man in silver light plate armor.

"Them?" Maggard subconsciously said as he stared at Kim Shin's location.

'Hmm. Base on the battle that they had, I'm sure they are also exhausted to fight, we could kill them with a slight difficulty.' He certainly thought.

"Don't mind them that much, but, don't let your guards down!" Maggard said as he looked at the two men before him. He then continued. " You two, kill the white-haired kiddo first, I will keep my eyes on those maggots at the back."

"Okay!"

"Roger!"

The two men immediately response as they nodded their heads and slowly walked toward Clay.

"Anton, want to bet who's going to take the last hit to kill that kid?" The man in maroon robe spoke to the man in silver light plate armor, Anton, as he smiled cockily.

"Haha. Don't be too conceited Yao, just because you won previously. This time I'll be the winner!" Anton snickered as he then proudly claimed and waved his iron long sword.

"Hehehe. Then, let's see about that." Yao replied after a chuckle as he gripped his iron dagger on his right hand and without further ado he quickly dashed toward the motionless Clay.

Whoosh!

"Hey! Wait!" Anton shouted and he also sprinted forward.

Whoosh!

Seeing this, Victor couldn't help but asked Kim Shin. "Do we really just going to watch like this?"

Kim Shin heard this, causing him to frowned deeply as he turned his head and said while sharply glaring at the hunch back old man. "What? Do you want to help that man? Don't forget that he planned to kill us earlier!"

Being pointed with Kim Shin's killing glare, Victor couldn't stop himself from stepping back.

"N-No, I'm sorry." Victor stammered as he quickly apologized to Kim Shin.

'Yes, Kim Shin is right. What the hell I'm thinking?' He thought and kept his mouth shut while focusing on the battle.

Seeing that Victor turned silent, Kim Shin turned his head and intently focused his attention on the fight. Although he said that to Victor, he also had thought before that it will be super great to have the Immortal Light Reaper by his side. A powerful companion that's what he thought previously.

However, their first meeting was evidently not good. Hence, he exclude that thought right away. He was disappointed that he failed to get this powerful figure as a companion.

Alas, it seems like heaven's luck is truly shining down on him. After the failure, he found another opportunity to seize the Light Reaper.

'Hehe, it seems like fate doesn't want us to be companions. But, no one can't stop me this time, even the Gods! I will grab everything I want!' Kim Shin resolutely thought that he subconsciously smiled like a madman as he clenched his right hand to a fist while leaking an oppressing aura.

'Hmm?' Victor was forced to look at Kim Shin, who's emitting a heavy aura that made him breathe hardly.

Clang!

Sparks scattered as Clay's sword and Yao dagger collided.

The first clash forced Yao to take a few steps backwards while Clay was pushed a single step back.

'How could he still have that energy to push me back?' Yao couldn't help but think in shocked.

"Get away!" Anton screamed out behind the dazed Yao as he sprinted forward, holding his long sword that shining with yellow lights.

"What?!" Yao bellowed as he looked behind me, just to discover the glowing sword of Anton that about to hack down. Seeing this, he hurriedly leaned backward with a shrieked.

"Long Slash!" Anton roared, and he swung down his sword diagonally to Clay's left shoulder that left a fading yellow trail. Despite the distance of approximately 3-yards. Anton's sword easily reached his target.

However, before he managed to cut his target, Clay suddenly vanished from his position leaving an afterimage.

Slash!

'Shit! Afterimage!' Anton cried out as he cursed in his mind.

'Where is he?' He thought while anxiously looking around him. Then, he heard Yao's yelled. "At your left!"

'Left?' Anton then immediately turned at his left side and saw the glaring Clay who's floating, a meter above the ground and about to hack him to half.

"Die..." Clay softly spoke feeling drained as he swung his sword horizontally, which reflexively blocked by Anton who did positioned his sword vertically before him.

Clang!

Sparks flashed and Anton was pushed two steps backward.

'Damn! I miss at this point?!' Clay disappointedly thought.

As a matter of fact, Clay was originally about to die earlier. Who's gonna doubt him?

Kim Shin and Victor's damage were definitely large.

With Kim Shin high stats and Victor as a natural magic damage dealer, they extremely brought down the supposed to be Immortal.

However, when he's about to close his eyes eternally, Clay heard the familiar voice of his uncles murderer, which caused him to stand up despite his condition.

Now that destiny gave him another chance to achieve his desire vengeance, he's willing to give his all for this. However, his first strike already drained a lot his stamina and he actually failed to land a hit.

"Unforgivable..." Clay muttered with hollow eyes while looking downward.

Hearing Clay's word, Anton felt belittled as his lips twitch in anger and then he said. "Who's unforgivable, lunatic?"

However, Clay didn't respond, as if, Clay is intentionally ignoring him.

"You! Then ignore me until in hell!" Anton bellowed as he raised his sword with both hands over his head and screamed. "Tri Long Slash!!!"

Whoosh! Shing!

A strong gale sucked around Anton's sword, as if, they fortifying his sword, then his blade filled with yellow light.

"Die!!" Anton cried out as he made a three combo attack which all parried by Clay with a sliver of effort.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"I-It can't be..." As his sword was forced to raised back over his head, Anton muttered in disbelief. Hence, without any hesitation, Clay took a single step forward, entering Anton's defense. He then, quickly swung his sword horizontally, inflicting a long red mark on Anton's neck that distinctly not cover with any defensive armor.

At first, the long red mark on Anton's neck was just like a simple scratch. However, it didn't take long before Anton's head cut down of his body.

A lot of blood gushed out of the headless body as Anton's head fell on the ground, followed up by his lifeless body.

Thud!

"Anton!" Maggard hurriedly called out as he dashed to Anton's corpse.

"Second Brother!" Yao also screamed out. But, he couldn't move an inch, he's utterly shocked, everything happened too fast for him.

Kneeling down before Anton's corpse, Maggard's eyes became moist and reddish as he look at Anton's widened eyes who's obviously shocked even at his death. He then slowly closed Anton's eyes with his right hand and glared sharply at Clay.

"I WILL KILL YOU!!!" Maggard bellowed furiously, causing a powerful shockwave as his eyes became red like ruby while the veins on his neck and forehead starts to bulge, as if, they are about to explode.

The shockwave slammed on Clay that blasted him dozen of meters away.

Crack!

"Arrrrggghhhh!!!" Maggard roared and the muscles of his entire body start to enlarge as his height became taller. At the same time, Maggard's armor began to crack.

"What's happening?" Victor inquired Kim Shin, cause he knew that Kim Shin is more knowledgeable than them.

Although he heard Victor's inquiry, Kim Shin didn't utter a single word, he kept his eyes locked at Maggard.

'What skill is this? Over Boost?' Kim Shin thought curiously.

He knew a skill Over Boost, which can strengthen the user's ability multiple times for a certain time with an enormous penalty.

He heard that a person using that skill could choose their penalty. However, the choices were only for those people prepared to die.

He didn't know if it's the same with Maggard's skill.

Cough! Cough!

Clay who was pushed dozen of meters by Maggard's shockwave, coughed a mouthful of blood, as he struggled to stand up while holding his head.

'Shit! What's happening?!' Clay confusedly thought, as if his mind got suddenly cleared up.

Brushing off the blood on the corner of his mouth, Clay then stared at roaring Maggard.

'W-What am I doing here?' He questioned in his mind. Utterly confused at the current situation.

ROAR!!!

Maggard unleashed a deafening roar that put Clay on daze state while his ears in pain.

Bzzzz!

"Urgh!"

As his ears only hear a buzzing sound, Clay covered his ears with both hands, while grimacing in pain.

Then, at the corner of his eyes, he saw a muscular, tall man, and then he felt an intense pain on his abdomen, causing him to vomited a lot of blood as his eyes bulge out as if it's about to fall out of his socket.

"Blurgh!"

BOOOOM! Crack!

A booming sound filled the surroundings as Clay flew dozen of meters away and heavily slammed and crashed on the reddish wall of the labyrinth, creating a large crater around him.

Thud!

Clay slowly slid down, face on the ground.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Blurgh!

"I-It hurts!" Clay uttered agonizingly, as he vomited blood. The pain also made his vision blurry. Then, out of nowhere, feet appeared before him, Clay stretched his right hand and touched the foot.

"P-Please, H-Help me..." Clay pleaded, hoping that the owner of this foot will be a noble man and kindly save him. However, contrary to his hoping for, the foot his holding on suddenly step on his hand.

"Agh!" Clay cried in pain. However, the man didn't stop at stepping on his hand, it powerfully kicked Clay on the face, forcing Clay to blasted away towards Kim Shin and Victor's location.

BOOM! Crash!

"Young man, what should we do now?" Victor asked that couldn't hide his emotion and worry to Clay even though Clay just attempted to kill them.

However, deep inside his mind, Victor knew that Kim Shin won't help this kid. Yet, contrary to his expectation, Kim Shin suddenly smiled and walked towards the dying man.

"It's about time." Kim Shin muttered as he approached Clay.

"Please, h-help me..." Clay begged once again, even though he don't know who is this man.

"What can you do if I help you?" Kim Shin retorted.

"Anything! I will do anything!" Clay answered desperately.

"Sorry, but I couldn't believe your words. I want you to take Blood Oath!" Kim Shin said with a grin on his face.
