Un-Solo Leveling

31. Still Unpleasant

"Game, is it? I'm sorry but, I can't play along with your game."

Indra's clone deactivates the Shape Shifting skill and returns to his original appearance. It surprises the woman who instinctively takes a step back.

"Y-you, an awakener!"

*BAM*

The door suddenly opens forcefully.

"To be precise, I am an awakener and that guy is the manifestation of my skill."

Indra is the one breaking the door. He rushed here after receiving the report from the captured clones. He can communicate with his clones no matter how far they are, so he knows what happened from the beginning.

The woman tries to run away, but black chains suddenly come out of the floor and bind her. She tries to break free but the chains won't budge at all. The difference in power between her and Indra is just too much, after all.

"I heard everything you said to my clone. While your past is so saddening, it doesn't justify what you've done. Had you just stopped after getting your revenge on your uncle, then I wouldn't do anything. Even I would also do what you did if that happened to me. But you were killing other people after that, so I need to do something because people are now suspecting me as the murderer even though it's you who did it."

"S-suspecting you?... !? You are the mysterious hunter they kept talking about."

"Bingo! They don't know my real identity, but it still feels shitty to be suspected of crimes I didn't do. That's why I was looking for you, but didn't get any results for days, so I tried to make this bait and it worked."

"DAMN YOU!"

"Woah, really fiery, aren't you? Well, the real reason I need to stop you is because it will endanger my life and my family. While you might not target my family because no one has a harelip, your actions can cause sparks. If I don't stop you quickly, more awakeners will commit crimes because they think they will still be safe after that. A high crime rate is something that will surely disturb my life."

"Tch! Too much talk. You want to stop me, right? Hurry up and kill me then."

"Well, that's the plan from the start. You have killed a few innocents, so I can't just let you go even though you are a woman and have a very tragic past. But, let me grant you a wish before I kill you."

"Huh? Why would you do that?"

"Hmm, let's say I sympathize with your past, but what you did was still wrong, so I just can't let you go. I'll grant you a wish as long as it's acceptable."

Indra just stands there while the woman stares at him confusedly.

"Then, have sex with me."

"No way."

"So quick!"

"You seem to be in your 30's. I don't want to do it with an old lady like you."

"Tsk, damn kid! Fine. Just give me a quick death and bury me beside my parents."

"You sure just want that?"

"Yeah, so hurry up."

The woman then tells him her name and where her parents' graves are. Indra nods before taking a very sharp sword out of his inventory. It's a sword he looted from a dungeon and used by a boss.

"Goodbye then."

He swings the sword to her neck and he cuts it cleanly. Although he isn't proficient with swords, his strength allows him to create a clean cut on a much weaker target than him. It's his 3rd time killing a human and it still feels just as unpleasant.
