Player Who Returned 10,000 Years Later - Chapter 48 - Player Who Returned 10,000 Years Later Oku

‘I guess he’s not that weak.’ Kang Yu glanced at the blond and decided to leave the girl alone for now.

Ronald, with his holy power, was a little stronger than Moon Yeon Ho.

In this state, he was most likely strong enough to kill a Boer.

Kang Yu and Ronald faced each other, both in a fighting stance.

Their golden and black forces merged in the air, destroying everything in their path.

The golden sword split into two and exploded again.

Because the explosion happened right in front of his eyes, Kang Yu’s body was sent flying.

— Ha! Did you see that, lousy devil?

Kang Yu couldn’t believe what was happening right now.

‘If I hadn’t focused on getting rank 5, I’d be in danger.’

Ronald’s skills exceeded all expectations.

Based on strength alone, he might well be stronger than Kang Yu.

‘Maybe he was hunting a dragon for a reason, though.’ When he thought about saving Echidna, Kang Yu clicked his tongue impatiently.

‘However…’ Kang Yu’s eyes gleamed coldly. ‘He’s only physically strong.’

As Kang Yu approached Ronald, he screamed out loud:

— Boomerang!

Reacting to Kang Yu’s scream, Ronald took out his sword and prepared to defend himself.

Kang Yu, however, did not use a boomerang at all. Bending low, Kang Yu kicked at his opponent’s legs hard.

Ronald bent over in pain, wrapping his arms around his bruised legs, and bawled.

— You dirty demon! You said ‘Boomerang!’ — The man glared at Kang Yu with unforgiving eyes.

‘You’re just stupid.’ Kang Yu wasn’t one of those fools who screamed the name of the attack in advance.

Making use of his opponent’s foolish habits had given the Player a huge advantage.

— Ro… Ronald!

— Ah… Everyone… everyone, run. He’s too strong!

— It can’t be! You’re telling me to leave you here?!

— Hurry up! — Continuing to clutch onto his wounded legs, Ronald screamed.

Hot tears rolled from his eyes.

— Good job! — Kang Yu, as if watching a drama film, smiled lightheartedly and approached the blond man.

— You… — Ronald scowled at him with a burning look.

Kang Yu understood his anger but didn’t hesitate to stand close to him.

‘This fight is already over.’

For a soldier, the most important thing is his legs.

If his arm had been cut off or his ribs had been broken, he could have continued to fight, but in a situation where his legs were hurt, everything was different.

A soldier who was unable to move could only be compared to a vegetable given an automatic rifle.

— Ah… h… hurry up, run! — Ronald wasn’t stupid enough to not know the severity of the situation, so he tried his best to chase away his teammates.

More than anyone else, he was aware of the hopelessness of his situation.

‘It’s time to finish this.’ Kang Yu, using Klink’s power, created a bastard sword to pierce Ronald with.

There was no compassion or hatred in his eyes.

For Kang Yu, a ‘fight’ was nothing special.

He’d always fought to survive. Emotion was an impermissible luxury.

— Wait a minute!

— Raina…?

At that moment, a dark-haired girl ran up and blocked Ronald with her body.

Sobbing, she pleaded:

— I… I beg you! Don’t kill him! If he dies, the Arnan people will lose hope!

Kang Yu didn’t respond.

— And more importantly… Ronald is the man I love very much.

— Raina…

The girl named Raina kept crying and gently caressed Ronald’s cheek.

— I’m sorry to confess like this. But… but if not now, I may never get another chance.

Looking determined, she turned to Kang Yu.

— Take my life instead. I’ll do anything you say. I’m begging you! Please let him live!

Kang Yu listened to her pleas and pressed his lips tightly as he contemplated. Then, he said with a smile:

— You know, that was brazen of you.

Kang Yu walked slowly to Ronald and Raina as he kept talking.

— What? With his death, will the people lose hope? What am I supposed to do about that? What does that have to do with me? You were the ones who attacked me first. I didn’t do anything wrong, did I? If our roles were reversed and I was the one who begged for mercy, would you let me live? Would you? — He continued in cold blood: — No, right? It’s impossible. You were armed, too. If you’re going to use weapons capable of killing, you should also be prepared to die. —

Kang Yu grasped Ronald’s hand.

There was an explosion, and powerful Magi flowed from his hands.

Kang Yu looked at the pair in front of him, screaming and shaking in terror, and continued in a low tone:

— We’re in reality, not a TV show.
