Rise of the Strongest War God

28  Monster [1]

"Hm? So you've decided. That's nice. It'll save a lot of time." The man who was laughing just now nodded in satisfaction.

After a pause, he asked, "Now to the next important question, what relationship do you have with the girl you are looking for?"

"Hm?" After Luke said that there was no need for discussion, he was about to take action. Since these guys submitted to someone related to the rulers' factions, they were definitely not good people.

Of course, they might be not be too bad right now but they wouldn't be the same in the future. In his past life, Luke had seen a lot of righteous and compassionate people turn into bloodthirsty and cruel devils after they started working under the rulers' people.

He, therefore, didn't have any doubt that these guys would become the same and would cause a lot of harm to weak and innocent people in the future.

That's why Luke was prepared to put an end to them right here and now. However, when he heard the question, he decided to wait a little longer.

Pointing at Lori, he replied, "This lady here is her mother and my friend."

The man frowned and asked, "How good is friendship? Are you willing to die for her?"

"No." Luke unhesitatingly shook his head.

This made Lori sigh. She could guess why this guy asked this specific question. If Luke had said he was willing, there probably were some chances that they would release Julia since they seemed eager to have him, an evolver, join them.

Since he refused, her daughter's situation was looking grim and she herself might be in a difficult situation now. However, she didn't blame Luke for it. His coming here to save her daughter was already enough to make her eternally grateful to him.

"Haha. Good. This makes things easier." The man laughed, giving Lori a lewd glance.

It wasn't only he, the other man standing behind them and the guy in front who was previously talking to Luke also took a few glances at her, but he wasn't being obvious like the previous two.

"Since you are going to be one of us, Let me tell you something. That girl, you can't save her. The left leader has taken an interest in her. She is sick right now. But once she recovers, he will make her his woman." The man said.

Lori sighed in relief when she heard that the bastard hadn't made a move on Julia. However, hearing that she was sick, her motherly heart felt pain.

The man then glanced at Lori before saying, "The things promised earlier aren't easy to get. You have to work for them. Since you are just a level 1 newbie, you will surely encounter many difficulties. However, I can help you get through them. You just have to let this woman accompany me tonight."

Just as he finished speaking, the third person hurriedly said, "I also want to taste her."

Lori's expression became livid when she heard them and saw their lustful gazes scanning her body.

Luke's indifferent expression also changed. Glancing at the first guy, he asked with a cold smile, "I guess you also want the same thing, right?"

The man frowned and felt uncomfortable when he saw the strange smile on Luke's face, but he looking Lori's alluring body, he still nodded, saying, "Since they are getting to spend the night with her, I also want it too."

"Alright. I understand." Luke nodded. Seeing this, Lori sighed and closed her eyes in resignation, silent tears streaming down her face.

However, just then, she heard him continue. "Initially, I was a little hesitant. But you guys really deserve to die."

After saying this, before any of them could react,

Whoosh!

Luke moved, throwing a punch at the second guy's head on his left side. At the same time, he kicked backwards at the third guy in the stomach.

Whoosh!

He then moved toward the first guy in front and punched at his face.

However, it was as if he had expected Luke to attack him; he moved his head to side, dodging the punch.

His quick reaction momentarily surprised Luke.

Whoosh!

Luke then flexed his arm and struck the guy's head with his elbow.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Since Luke had also activated the [Berserk], he moved so fast that the three bangs resounded almost at the same time. The guy in the back was thrown back, spitting out blood, while the other two's heads exploded instantly, their dead bodies falling to the ground after a few seconds.

Crash!

Thud!

The third guy who was sent flying crashed against the wall before falling to the ground with a thud.

When Lori opened her eyes and saw two corpses and the third laying on the ground, spitting out flood, she knew how wrong she was about Luke and felt guilty.

Luke took the iron rod from the corpse. When he was about to walk toward the third man, who was still alive, he saw Lori looking at the corpses and then him, her face pale.

"If you can't bear to see it, keep your eyes close." He said, continuing to walk toward the man, his expression solemn.

It was his first time killing actual humans, and he didn't feel good about it. If it wasn't for the fact that he was used to bloodshed after killing so many zombies, he might have vomited out of disgust right now.

Lori, however, didn't close her eyes despite feeling disgusted and horrified deep down and kept looking at him.

She knew, if they wanted to survive in this changed world, encountering human scums was inevitable and they would also have to kill them. So, the sooner she got used to it, the better.

She watched him walk up to the barely alive man.

When the man saw Luke walk over, he looked at him with a pitiful expression and tried to open his mouth to beg for mercy. But,

Blergh!

As soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out blood.

Luke looked at the man emotionlessly. Lifting the iron rod, he smashed it on his head.

Bang!

The head exploded, blood and brain matter flying about.

After killing him, Luke stood there for a while, his eyes closed.

Phew!

After a few seconds, he took a deep breath and opened his eyes. He then crouched beside the corpse to see if the guy had dropped any skills or had any other item apart from the wooden iron bar.

Unlike zombies or beasts, humans only dropped skill books that they had learnt prior to their deaths or the items they had on their person.

They also didn't give any soul energy to the killer, which could be seen from the fact that Luke didn't hear any notification after killing them.

However, this was only true if a person of the same race killed another. For example, if an intelligent zombie killed a human, it would receive the soul energy, and the items would also drop.

Luke moved the corpse and looked around but didn't find any skill book or any magic item.

"It seems he didn't get to learn any skill yet." He muttered before walking back to the other two corpses.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, before he could check their bodies, a group of five people rushed in.
