Isaac watched their battle from a distance. He waited for the right time to step in. Besides, he wanted to see the potential strength of the strongest Hunter candidate in China was.
"He is strong and indeed extremely talented, although his sword techniques are still crude. If I polish him again, he will be truly peerless among humans. It's just, he looks naïve."
As he watched Guo Chen fight, it was clear that every swing of his sword had no killing intent. Every time the sword landed on the enemy's body, it only caused meaningless scratches.
If it continued, Guo Chen would only kill himself. Isaac still didn't want to intervene. He still had hope in Guo Chen.
"The strongest Hunter candidate in China is unlikely to be killed here."
However, the longer the battle went on, the more clear it was that Guo Chen was cornered. Besides, his four friends fell one by one.
Isaac felt that there was something wrong with him.
"Arrrgh!"
Then, Guo Chen was kicked from behind by the enemy. Isaac couldn't help but sigh in disappointment when he saw that. If Issac left him, that man would really be killed.
Isaac finally decided to step in.
Bam!
A bullet made of concentrated Mana pierced the head of one of the Leecher members. After realizing that one of their members had died, the Leechers looked for the culprit. From a distance, they could see a man walking from the depths of the forest. His face was cold and expressionless.
"Who are you? If—"
Bam!
[You get 100 zenny.]
One of the Leechers who didn't have time to finish off what he wanted to say had been shot in the head. Then, a barrage of bullets pierced their heads one by one.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
[You got 100 zenny]
[You got 100 zenny]
[You got…]
Within seconds, most of the Leechers were killed. Leaving only a bald-headed man, the leader of the Leecher group.
The head of Leecher's face looked terrified when he saw Isaac's figure. In his eyes, Isaac was like an angel of death. There was no expression at all when Isaac took the lives of his comrades. As if killing humans was like getting rid of pests.
The bald-headed man knew that there was no way he could escape from this human-like monster. So the only option was to beg for mercy. It was a shameful act, but his life was more precious than his pride. He immediately crawled over to Isaac and hugged his leg.
"Please, Sir. Please forgive me. I'll do anything for you. I am ready to be your slave. Please forgive me!"
The man continued to cry while hugging Isaac's legs. Even his tears and snot soaked the Dungeon Master's pants.
Isaac smiled faintly. Not because he was happy that humans were begging for his forgiveness, but because he thought it was funny.
Just a few minutes ago, this bald-headed man was acting like a ruthless man who would take the lives of others for personal gain. Now, he turned like a frightened puppy.
It was this typical human that Isaac hated the most. Not only did he lose his zenny, this human existence also disgusted Isaac.
Isaac quickly got rid of him, but when he was about to pull the trigger, other plans popped up in his head.
"Is that so?" Isaac asked while showing a curious face. "Then stay alive. Don't die until I let you die."
The face of the bald-headed man looked confused. Before he could grasp Isaac's words, suddenly his neck was dripping with blood.
Splat!
"Urgh!"
The bald-headed man fell helplessly while holding his neck. He tried to scream, but he lost his voice as if he had been mute. Isaac had just snatched his vocal cords away.
Then, Isaac left the man lying on the ground covered in blood. He walked closer to Guo Chen, who was unconscious. Isaac took the Potion in his pocket, then poured it into Guo Chen's mouth.
Not long after, Guo Chen's pale face gradually regained its colour.
Isaac touched his own forehead, and at his fingertips emerged a red glow. Then that red glow he pressed to Guo Chen's forehead. Isaac just planted 'Seeds of Mind'.
"Wake up and be my best slave. But before that, you have to be a strong person."
In Isaac's eyes, Guo Chen was like an unpolished diamond. Issac could see Guo Chen's potential. But there were only a few flaws that hindered its development. One of them was naivety mindset.
Defending the truth without hurting people, every life was precious, there must be a reason people do evil; All those pitiful mindsets had to be banished from Guo Chen's head.
If Guo Chen kept thinking in that way, he would only become a weak man and easily killed by others. Even if he was able to survive, the people closest to him would be affected by the impact.
Not long after, Guo Chen woke up.
"Urgh…. Who are you?"
Guo Chen was surprised to find a foreign-looking man in front of him. He had thought that Isaac was an angel of death. However, after looking at his surroundings, he realized he was still alive.
Guo Chen's face turned pale when he saw his comrades were all dead. At the same time, he was shocked to see the Leecher group, who died horribly. Then, Isaac told Guo Chen what had happened. Of course Issac didn't say the whole thing.
"Brother, when I came here, everything already became like this. I checked the others. All of them had died. There were only two people alive. You and that person." Isaac pointed at the bald-headed man, who was still holding his neck.
For a moment, Guo Chen was taken aback by Isaac, who could speak Chinese fluently. However, the shock quickly disappeared after seeing the perpetrator who caused his comrades to die was still alive.
Guo Chen's chest was filled with rage and resentment. He got up and picked up the sword that laid on the ground, ready to take the man's life.
The bald-headed man was hysterical when he saw Guo Chen coming closer. However, his voice had disappeared. It was stuck in his throat.
When Guo Chen was about to stab his sword into the chest of the person he hated the most, his hand halted.
Isaac clicked his tongue. "So weak." Then he used 'Seeds of Mind', giving Guo Chen a violent surge of negative emotion. Instantly, rage dominated his feelings, and he thrusted a sword into the bald-headed man's chest.
Splat—!
[You earned 20 zenny!]
After that, Isaac drew out the surge of emotion in Guo Chen's mind. The man quickly calmed down, and he realized he had just killed someone.
"Wuaahh!"
Guo Chen was in deep shock. His hands were full of blood.
Then Isaac walked over to Guo Chen and calmed him down. "Relax, Brother. It doesn't matter. This guy deserves it." He stroked Guo Chen's back.
Then, Guo Chen burst into tears. Not because he had just taken a human's life, but out of regret for the death of his comrades.
Had he not restrained himself and immediately finished them off, his four comrades would not have died.
However, the opposite expression appeared on Isaac's face. He smiled contentedly.
Isaac did this on purpose. He deliberately didn't jump right in to kill the Leechers or tried to save the others. He let Guo Chen see his friends being killed.
Isaac taught Guo Chen a lesson by giving him regret and trauma.
Regret made people learn, so they didn't make the same mistakes. While the trauma would be a reminder of their mistakes.
Isaac muttered, "That way you can grow strong and become a deadly living weapon."
