Chapter 250 Have you ever killed someone before?

Kyle raised his eyes to look at the narrow path when a flustered cry sounded behind him. A few seconds ago, he was able to hear faint sounds of metal being dragged on the ground but it all stopped the moment he trapped the bald man.

Kyle's brows knitted into a frown when he sensed a few pairs of eyes looking at his body. He squinted his eyes and saw a few individuals clad in long hoodies rushing at him from the path contact to the stage.

Regius expression turned grave. His previous excitement died down and he turned around to look at the narrow path.

"Kyle, can you sense their ranks?"

Kyle thought for a while and looked at the bald man who was sweating buckets with a painful expression.

"Not strong. Three (D-)-Ranks and one (D)-Rank. I think they are normal workers."

His voice sounded strained. He could see the tip of the spear had penetrated the bald man's skin. However, it wasn't deep enough to kill him.

Regius didn't notice Kyle's conflicted expression and gave him a nod.

At that moment, the rushing individuals arrived on the stage, they stared at Kyle and the bald man but instead of attacking Kyle or saving the bald man they quietly stepped away with panicked expressions.

The bald man's throat turned dry and his eyes contracted as he glared at the individuals clad in hoodies.

"What are you all doing? Attack him!"

He gritted out amidst the coldness penetrating his neck.

Kyle's eyes turned cold and he moved his fingers. In an instant, the tip of the spear penetrated an inch further inside the bald man's neck and the man shut his mouth tightly.

However, the man sensed something was off with Kyle. If he wanted to kill him, he could do it in an instant because the man could sense how devastating the coldness penetrating his body was. His heart was pounding loudly due to dread but a strange thought appeared in his mind and he snapped his eyes to look at Kyle with a bewildered yet surprised expression.

A few seconds later, even Regius and the others become confused. They were waiting for Kyle to finish the man but Kyle did nothing except stare at the man.

Hope flashed through the bald man's eyes as he stared at the silver-haired kid standing in front of him. He grinned inwardly.

'He is hesitating because he has never killed a human before!'

He opened his mouth to speak but at that moment Kyle moved his hand roughly. The bald man's eyes widened with shock when the tip of the spear grazed the side of his neck sharply.

Half of his neck froze and sharp pain assaulted his mind but before he could scream in pain he found himself fainting with disbelief painted on his face.

Kyle turned around and looked at the individuals clad in hoodies. All of them were already panicked when they saw Kyle and after seeing the bald man's condition they turned around to leave the stage but before they could leave Regius stopped them with a serious expression.

"Leave the storage rings behind."

Regius words were akin to sharp arrows. One of the hoodied men gritted his teeth and took off his storage ring. He stuttered out with a shaky voice.

"We... only have one ring."

Regius nodded and snatched the ring. Afterward, he waved his hand to shoo them away.

The hoodied men trembled and all of them ran off the stage without looking back.

Kyle glanced at their fading back. He sighed and massaged his temples. Even though he had thought about killing others a lot of times. He was hesitant when he actually had to kill someone. Moreover, whenever he wanted to kill he did it indirectly or just made them lose consciousness. Even when he was kidnapped he didn't kill anyone himself. He always blamed his lack of strength to avoid this topic.

It was a glaring flaw, in this world where the strong always stomped on the weak, his hesitation to kill others was indeed worrisome.

Killing monsters was fine because they were beasts that threatened everyone's safety. Kyle knew he could kill thousands of monsters without flinching but...

He grumbled inwardly and shook his head to distract his thoughts.

"Let's advance."

Kyle looked at the narrow path and started moving.

Yue gazed at Kyle's back and eyed the bald man's body. Even though half of his neck was frozen, he was breathing.

She hurriedly approached him and started walking beside him with steady steps. Her voice was faint but Kyle heard it clearly.

"You should have killed him. He was not a good person."

Kyle hummed with a serious expression. He glanced at her.

"Have you ever killed someone before?"

Yue bit down on her lips and replied faintly.

"No.. "

Kyle saw her fiddling fingers and didn't ask anything further.

At the same time, Regius who was playing with the new storage ring gazed at Kyle and Yue's backs. A grin appeared on his face and he quietly slid the storage ring on one of his empty fingers.

With a big smile, he eyed the bald man's body and looked at Sinon, Niamh, and Faith

"Check his body."

Sinon's expression turned ugly. He felt like punching Regius's face because he was being treated like a servant!

"You are the one who is pocketing the rings! So why do we need to do the work!"

Regius raised his brow and shrugged his shoulders.

"Just because."

His answer was infruiting and now even Niamh and Faith wanted to punch him but they curbed their urge and decided to check the bald man's body quietly.

A storage ring was fished out within a few seconds but before the trio could look at the ring properly Regius snatched it and slid it on his pinky finger.

"Nice, just two more rings to cover my last two empty fingers."

Regius nodded with a satisfied expression and ran off behind Kyle and Yue without caring about the deadly glares Sinon, Niamh, and Faith were boring at his body.
