Nile's attack was halted midway because of the rope that had coiled in his hand.

Nile frowned and clicked his tongue in annoyance. Nile did not look at the middle-aged man but instead, he decided to fully unleash his strength.

Ever since he fought or rather, trashed the robber group earlier, Nile was now able to slightly control his strength. His slight control only falls to the category of being restrained, and then fully unleashed.

Earlier, Nile was only using the restrained version to pierce the young man. Nile was not being overconfident. He knew how strong he is compared to the two. He just wanted to use every opportunity that came to him to the fullest.

It was also the reason why the young man was able to dodge it, as along with his strength was the reduction of his speed.

Nile aimed and pierced the young man shrieking in pain again. However, this time, he used all of his strength.

The young man was still screaming in pain when a blade pierced his mouth. The blade had pierced all the way to the back of the young man's head.

The rope that was restraining Nile's hand earlier could do nothing but be pulled along with Nile's strike. The middle-aged man, of course, was the same. His body was pulled along with the rope that he was holding, and just when his body was about to collide with Nile, it was also at that moment that Nile pulled the Kriegsmesser's blade on the young man's mouth.

The hilt of the Kriegsmesser hit the middle-aged man squarely in the face. The middle-aged man's face wobbled as a result of the hit. His body then got thrown away to where it stood earlier.

The rope tightened again, along with the middle-aged man's body's sudden stop. The middle-aged man then screamed in agony as his body sprawled to the cold ground.

Nile picked up the squirming young man on his collar and raised him high. He was still alive but the young man's mouth kept on jolting out fresh blood like a fountain. Nile could tell that aside from wanting to breathe, the young man also wanted to scream out the pain he felt. But because of the blood, he could not.

Nile raised his Kriegsmesser and pierced the young man's head. The young man convulsed for a few seconds before he finally died. Nile threw his body to the side as he sauntered towards the middle-aged man.

While approaching, Nile had noticed that the middle-aged man was already recovering from the pain he was feeling. Still, he was on the ground clutching his broken face.

Seeing the middle-aged man like that, Nile could help but think of how OP the Kriegsmesser's extra function was. Even the hilt was still supported by the extra function of increasing a person's pain.

Nile could not deny how useful this Kriegsmesser is. Its extra function was equivalent to a bewitching spell. If you are hit with it, you can be rendered immobile because of its effect.

Just like what had happened to the young man from before. As he was feeling a terrifying pain from his armpit, he could not think clearly and did not manage to dodge the second time. Well, not that he could still dodge anyway, but if he was not rendered immobile by the pain, he might still want to try.

At the moment, the rope was still coiled in Nile's hand. Nile must admit that this rope is pretty sturdy. After that much of a stress, it was still holding in his hand like a suction cup.

The rope had a thickness of an inch and a length of up to 7 meters. At the rope's end was a sharp hook. When the middle-aged man threw the rope in Nile's hand earlier, the rope had coiled in his arm in an instant. The hook had also locked itself on the rope in an instant, hence the reason why it was still clinging in Nile's hand.

When Nile arrived close to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man had already stopped whining. The middle-aged man noticed Nile and glared at him hatefully.

Nile was just about to take another step closer when he noticed a glint on the man's eyes. The middle-aged man rolled in the ground a few meters away from Nile. It was then followed by the middle-aged man, forcefully pulling the rope in the hopes of pulling Nile's body over.

However, try as he might, he could just not budge Nile's body. Nile stared at him like he was an idiot. Nile just stood there and watched him trying to pull the rope but without a result.

Nile gloats at him while switching the hand holding the Kriegsmesser. After switching, the Kriegsmesser of Agony was now on Nile's left hand. Nile produced a smirk and said mockingly, "Nice try."

The middle-aged man had at this point realized the situation he was in. The man in front of him was powerful. The middle-aged man estimates that Nile was not any less strong than his boss. His body trembled as he realized that he's gonna die.

Flashes of memories suddenly appeared in his mind, including the one he had experienced earlier. He could not help but think of how unlucky he was for being tasked with the trio's search. 'If the boss did not choose me for this search. I might still be in bed right now with that girl.'

His imagination runs wild as he waits for his inevitable demise. 'No, I can't give up yet. I don't want to die yet. I still want to elongate my record of three-seconds. Escape!'

His thoughts ran at a fast speed as he saw Nile trying to coil the rope in his hand more while staring at him in the eye. Seeing Nile like that, the middle-aged man trembled again in fear. The middle-aged man did not wait any longer as he turned around and tried to flee using the window.

However, the other end of the rope was still tied on the middle-aged man's right hand. He could not go far as the rope tightened, stopping him from his track. The middle-aged man stumbled and fall's the floor face first.

Nile smirked at the scene as he continued to coil the rope in his hand. He had already coiled the rope more than thrice in his hand when he saw that the middle-aged man had stood up and was about to untie the rope.

Seeing the scene, Nile raised his hand and forcefully pulled the rope, along with the middle-aged man. Nile then cheerfully said out loud, "Get over here!"

The middle-aged man's body flew towards the Nile like a metal being attracted to a magnet. When the middle-aged man's body was just only a meter away from him, Nile met the middle-aged man's body with the Kriegsmesser of Agony.

The middle-aged man had only managed to scream for a few seconds before he died. He was pierced by the Kriegsmesser from his ribs all the way to his heart.

Blood flowed out as Nile pulled the Kriegsmesser from the middle-aged man's ribs.

Nile then flicked the Kriegsmesser's blade to get rid of the blood staining it. He then sliced off the rope that was still clinging in his arm.

He inspected the rope and it was actually a rope made of mutated leaves. Too bad it was already sliced and damaged. But it was still usable so Nile stored it inside the Storage Space. He also did the same to the sword of the young man.

Nile then dragged their body to the center and piled them up along with the three earlier. He then locked the door of the house even though the knob was no longer working.

Nile then sauntered towards the room where he left Maximo and the other's earlier.

Nile walked slowly and felt bitter after he realized that he had just killed five people this evening alone. Although they deserved their death, Nile was still not used to it.

Nile thought that killing three people was already enough for now. He was not really planning on killing the duo at first. However, after hearing them talk about raping the woman, he could really not help but feel rage.

Earlier, when the two were approaching, aside from their conversation of searching for the three, he also heard them mentioning about having fun with a woman. They even talked about who would go first.

Although he knew that it had nothing to do with him, Nile still decided to end their life that very night.

Nile sighs and clears his head with bitter thoughts. He hypnotized himself by saying 'All is well!' multiple times. His bitter feeling had not been washed away entirely but it definitely had diminished.

Nile knew that during this Apocalypse, killing people would be a normal occurrence. He knew that the five would not be the last. Nile wants to get used to it slowly, he does not want these bitter feelings surfacing inside his mind all the time he kills a person, after all.

Nile arrived at the door and reached his hand to the handle to open it. He pushed the door open and what he saw made his eyes wide in surprise.
