Volume 1: The Gate of Flesh and Blood Chapter 50: Exchange injury for life and enter the extraordinary!
Goethe stopped and suddenly raised his left hand.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As Goethe's little finger pressed the ring of the [Continuous Shooting Crossbow] on his left arm, three short crossbow arrows shot out immediately.
This sudden attack did not go beyond the expectations of the 'Killer in the Fog'.
"You thought I didn't see the ring?"
"You used my men's weapons to attack me?"
“How ridiculous!”
As the 'Murderer in the Mist' said this, he swung the 'Executioner' in his hand repeatedly, and immediately chopped off three short crossbow arrows, and then stabbed at Goethe again.
Goethe was not surprised by this, as he had long known that the 'Killer in the Fog' had discovered the [Repeating Crossbow].
That's why he wants to use it.
If he doesn't use it, it will only make the other party alert, which is something he absolutely doesn't want to see.
What he needs is to make the other party feel that he has tried every possible means and is powerless.
Then, let the other party regard him as fish on the chopping board .
The next moment, a dagger fell from the sleeve into Goethe's hand.
Goethe ignored the stabbing 'executioner' and stabbed the 'killer in the fog' with the dagger in his hand.
"Want to die with me?"
"Are you worthy?"
The 'Mist Killer' sneered, and the 'Executioner' poked the dagger out of Goethe's hand.
At the same time, a bloody mark appeared on Goethe's right arm.
yes……
'The Executioner'!
It's not the sharp side.
It's the jagged side.
pain!
pain!
In an instant, Goethe felt as if all the bones in his body were broken and crushed.
And in front of Goethe, who was the only one who could see it, prompts kept popping up one after another.
[Bloody Honor] +1!
[Bloody Honor] +1!
[Bloody Honor] +1!
…
Seven prompts in a row!
Just as he guessed, the 'Executioner' in the hands of the 'Mist Killer' was the weapon that killed 'his' father, three uncles, and three cousins.
It has [Bloody Honor] on it!
However, this is what he wanted.
But the pain was beyond Goethe's expectations.
Even though he was prepared, Goethe still couldn't help but let out a scream.
"ah!"
Goethe screamed, then fell to the ground, twitching continuously.
Seeing Goethe's miserable appearance, the 'Killer in the Fog' laughed.
The other party just did it on purpose.
After deliberately knocking Goethe's dagger away, he hit Goethe with the serrated surface of the "Executioner".
Faced with the teasing of the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel, he needed to vent.
It's just right for someone like Goethe who has no resistance!
“Scream!”
"Keep yelling!"
'The murderer in the fog' shouted at Goethe .
Goethe fell to the ground and cried out in pain, but silently said in his heart:
"[Bloody Honor] improves [Unarmed Combat]!"
[Unarmed Combat (Expert) → Unarmed Combat (Master)]
[When you reach the master level in unarmed combat, you will additionally gain two-handed combat proficiency, two-legged combat proficiency, throw proficiency, and two of the grappling proficiency options as expert-level options]
"【Two-handed Combat Mastery】, 【Two-legged Combat Mastery】!"
Goethe made his choice directly.

…
The increase in [body] made Goethe feel a slight reduction in pain.
but,
not enough!
The pain has subsided!
But it's not enough to face the 'Killer in the Fog'!
"【Bloody Honor】continues to improve 【Unarmed Combat】!"
[Unarmed Combat (Master) → Unarmed Combat (Unparalleled)]

…
Not enough!
Not enough!
"【Bloody Honor】continues to improve 【Unarmed Combat】!"
Goethe screamed in his heart.
Boom!
Boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
His heart was beating violently, beating against Goethe's chest like a war drum.
Then……
Burning|hot!
Goethe felt as if a fire was burning in his heart.
Not only burning the heart.
And it also burns the remaining organs.
Almost instantly, Goethe felt as if his internal organs were melting.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Screams far louder than before continued.
The pain brought by the 'executioner' was nothing compared to the pain I felt now.
Moreover, under the severe pain, Goethe felt as if he was hallucinating.
He heard a whisper.
He couldn't hear what the whispers were saying.
But he was sure someone was whispering in his ear.
When he tried to listen again, he felt himself being stretched. The severe pain made him want to curl up his body, and then he was crushed.
The whole person seemed to be compressed into the size of a fist.
Flesh? Bones? Internal organs?
there is none left.
All gone.
Only the initial pain remained.
pain!
It hurts more and more!
Goethe screamed and rolled over.
Also in...
Adapting.
People have thresholds.
Whether it is happiness or pain.
Even, it can be both.
Of course, Goethe couldn't do this, but he could adapt to the pain.
He had too many similar experiences when he was in his hometown.
So, he is very familiar with it.
He knows what to do.
The memories are beautiful!
Go find the best things in your memory!
For example: hot pot!
For example: barbecue!
For example: fried chicken and coke!
For example: pork elbow rice!
Time passed second by second, and the fantasy in his mind made Goethe begin to distance himself from the pain in his body. Even if he was stretched, flattened, or even crushed, it could not hinder his fantasy of freedom.
His voice had long been hoarse from shouting.
But at this moment, Goethe's eyes were exceptionally bright.
Gradually, the whispering stopped!
The pain, dissipates!
Before his eyes, words kept flashing——
[Unarmed combat breakthrough, judging...]
[Judgment passed! ]
[Heart +0.1]
[Obtain option: Extraordinary! ]
[Unarmed Combat (Extraordinary): Your skills have surpassed the mundane, reaching a certain extreme; Effect: Body +1.2 (Basic, Beginner, Skilled, Proficient, Expert, Master, Unparalleled 0.1, Extraordinary +0.5), Skill +1.1 (Beginner, Skilled, Proficient, Expert, Master, Unparalleled 0.1, Extraordinary +0.5)]
[Extraordinary : Skills beyond the ordinary will open up new horizons for you. When you attack with bare hands, you will gain an additional 'blade-level' attack effect. The same effect also applies when facing invisible objects!]
(The following is omitted...)
…
The substantial increase in [physical] and [skills] instantly made Goethe's body rapidly strengthen, and some of the skills in his mind were like being tempered by thousands of hammers, adapting to his current body.
But the heart is not obvious.
But Goethe intuitively felt that he had become different.
It's the feeling of having opened a door and seeing a new world.
Even this new world is still blurry.
“Scream!”
"Why don't you scream?"
The 'Killer in the Mist' kicked and hit Goethe, and the other party raised the 'Executioner' in his hand with a cruel look on his face, intending to hit Goethe again.
However, just as the 'Mist Killer' raised the 'Executioner', Goethe jumped up from the ground.
The whole person seemed to be a poisonous snake that suddenly jumped out from the bushes and passed straight past the "Killer in the Fog".
quick!
It was so fast that the 'Mist Killer' didn't react at all. He turned around blankly and looked at Goethe standing behind him walking towards the ruins of the 'Black Sail Security Company'. He opened his mouth subconsciously, but didn't say a word, and then heard -
puff!
A huge gash appeared on the neck of the 'Killer in the Mist', and blood spurted out. He staggered two steps, the light in his eyes faded, and he fell to his knees, with his head falling off.
