Chapter 65: Going for Gold or Going for Blood?

Alex keeps moving forward. As he is about to enter the hospital, he spots multiple people carrying medical equipment out of it. It looks like some employees are using this opportunity to haul away anything of value, huge stacks of drugs (medicine), and expensive medical gear.

Alex smiles at this unexpected jackpot. "The system mentioned the value of items. Who cares if it's medicine, medical equipment, or pure gold? It shouldn't matter, should it?"

As he approaches the looters, who have already gathered a large pile of supplies and are loading them into several vehicles, most likely stolen, they immediately confront him. "Hey, you weird-looking freak! Are you some kind of nerd dressing up as a knight? Get off our island now, or we'll show you how we handle idiots like you around here!" one of them yells.

Alex examines them closely. Some carry baseball bats and knives, and he's sure a few have guns tucked away. "Doesn't matter," he calculates. "I've gotten stronger, and the Frost resistance of my newest conjuration has improved. I'd rather pay a few hundred more FC to let 1337 patch me up after this mission than take unnecessary risks. A stray headshot or a bullet hitting my eye could still kill me. I can't afford to take chances."

Sealions Icewing Embrace lvl 2.
His entire body becomes encased in sharp, gleaming ice shards, his armor enlarging, and wings of ice extend from his back. Cold mist seeps from his body, creating the usual imposing, ethereal aura—this time with a slightly stronger effect, thanks to his upgrade from lvl 0 to lvl 2.

His MP drains by slightly over 50, leaving him with more than half of his MP. At the moment, he can only use this ability since he's already conjured the maximum number of grenades. Alex chooses not to be stingy; he can recover his missing MP within an hour or so.

The looters panic, confused and glancing nervously at one another. Alex doesn't give them any more time to react. He draws his [Sword of Pluto] and [Shield of Pluto] from his back, both now infused with the cold aura radiating from his conjured armor. He immediately slashes at the looters.

With a weapon and magical enhancement like this, there's no need to track damage numbers. His Alexandrian Royal Swordsmanship lvl 2, combined with Basic Close Combat Prowess lvl 2, his STR of 9 + 1, and the frost effect make each strike deliver a devastating blow of 70 to 80 damage at the minimum. Even the strongest ordinary human wouldn't survive a single hit. These looters have no chance.

Alex spins, using the element of surprise to strike multiple enemies in a single sweeping attack. He quickly uses his superior Basic Footwork lvl 2 and AGI to dash toward the remaining looters, swiftly cutting down anyone in his path. As more people emerge from the hospital, he slaughters them too. A few of the dozens of looters manage to flee. Alex pulls out his [Mr. 5's .44 Caliber 6-Shot Revolver] and shoots, taking down most of them, only letting two escape due to his limited ammo capacity.

Then, he feels his trusty [Commander Shepard's Dog Tag] activate, alerting him to two looters hiding inside one of the vehicles—easily detected by his heightened SNS.

"Where are the weapon stashes? You have three seconds," Alex demands.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, MONSTER!" the man answers, panicking. Alex can tell he's telling the truth—sadly, this one really doesn't know. Alex then shifts his aim to the other looter.

"I DON'T KNOW EITHER... I...," the second man stammers, and Alex instantly knows he's hit the jackpot.

"Tell me, and I'll let you go if you do an additional task for me," he says calmly.
