Surprised by Hein's voice, Lamia was greatly startled as her body began quivering like a frightened kitten.

On the other hand, the serpent king was very enraged. If not for his wounds he would have attacked Hein and strangled him to death.

"How dare you shout at my daughter!... Guha-!" The serpent king angrily shouted while coughing up some blood.

Gritting his teeth, Hein raised his face and look at the glaring serpent king and asked, "So the reason your power is this weak... was really because of a poison?"

Hein didn't believe that he won against the serpent king with his own power. No, he knew he couldn't defeat the serpent king that easily.

He has a chance to win but that chance is too small that it can be considered to be a miracle.

He has already known something was wrong with the serpent king's body the first time he saw him.

When he used his [Divine Vision], a skull with cross bone was beside the serpent king's name but he didn't know the cause of it.

Hein only thought that maybe it's because of his old age but for the cause of it to be poison....

Hein could only shakes his head disappointedly.

Hearing his question, the serpent king gritted his teeth.

"T, that's right! I, if not for that poison, father won't lose to you! He can kill you that easily!" The one who answered Hein was the trembling Lamia while pointing her short sword.

"Hama~" Hein let out a dejected sigh.

He surveyed his surrounding and saw the players looking at him. He moved his gaze towards Marie and the others...

Turning his gaze back at them, Hein suddenly said something unexpected that made the others don't know whether they heard it wrong or not.

"Serpent king... please forgive my friends insolence. This time, it is their fault for disturbing your peace, that I know... So, I will end this fight right now and will just take them."

An indescribable silence filled the place.

Like a puppet, the two father-daughter snake men and the players present stared at Hein with a frozen expression.

They couldn't believe what they are hearing.

He will just leave like that after that intense battle? He will just leave an S-BOSS

monster alive even though he can kill it now with only a single slash with his sword?

This... this is too unbelievable!!!

Hein watched the serpent king and his daughter silently. Their expression filled with shock and astonishment.

"..... What did you say?" The serpent king broke the silence with a doubt filled voice.

"Please forgive my friends insolence this time and overlook it. I will make sure my friends will not disturb you again..."

Hein repeated it calmly once more.

This time, the players behind him were thrown into turmoil, not understanding what Hein is doing.

Although Hein heard them, he completely ignored it as he really didn't care about it.

"Why? You have completely won but why....?"

"Nothing... In the first place, it's my friend's fault of attacking you. Because of that, I don't have the right to take your life... although I killed some of your comrades that was only to protect them... nothing more."

Hein explained it with a calm voice.

From the start, this world gave Lyle a realistic feeling.

He felt pain when he was injured, the NPCs had their own intelligence, and he felt thirsty, hungry and tired when he battled for too long… …

But subconsciously, Hein had still treated this world as a game.

However, after seeing the NPC's will to survive no matter what happens and the feeling he got when he was together with his new family, Hein felt that he was wrong in thinking that this world is nothing but a bunch of data.

A fictional world.

However, the truth is [ Pandora ] was also a real world.

The residents in the world didn’t just have intelligence, but emotions and feelings as well.

They were living humans, not some programmed scripts and codes.

That is why Hein have already treated this world as a new world where there are also creatures that were desperately trying their hardest to survive.

He don't want to steal other people's life just because he wanted to... well, except for monsters without intelligence that only seeks to hurt others. They are after all a good prey to earn experience points~

For him, there are only two types of enemy in this world.

One is those people he can reason with and those he can't.

Hein will kill all those enemies he cannot reason with without mercy but for those he still can, he will try to avoid killing them as much as possible. Indicating they were good and interesting people~

He doesn't want to become someone that will only slaughter every enemy in front of him without mercy.

He was still a man came from a peaceful era after all~

"This..."

"There is no need for sentiment... I just don't want to kill someone who isn't my enemy. We will just leave whether you want it or not, but if you want to stop us then I won't show any mercy."

The serpent king wanted to say something but he was cut off by Hein.

Without waiting for a reply, Hein turned around and started walking towards Marie and the others while leaving the father and daughter pair with dumbfounded expressions.

Truthfully, although Hein also have his reason but the one that greatly caused him to be moved was not such philosophy.

It was Lamia's actions that he can't bear to kill the serpent king.

He didn't want Lamia to grow without a father or live only for revenge.

He can kill her but what for? She wasn't really his enemy... Lamia was just trying to protect her father just like him coming here to protect the girls.

Because he knows full well what it means to leave with a real family. And he didn't want Lamia to suffer what he experienced much less make her live in vengeance and hatred.

For those people who had lost their lives while fighting them, Hein could care less.

Besides, he doesn't even know them and in the first place, their lives was on their hands not at him.

He wasn't an avenger nor a Hero ... just a mere young man.

If they die, then that was quite unfortunate.

They were the one who decided to venture on this place and kill to plunder, he doesn't have any rights to put the blame on the monsters alone.

If nothing happens to Marie, then good ... there's no point in chasing the topic just for revenge for someone he doesn't know~

"Marie, Ashley and Iona Let's go~"

Arriving in front of the others, Hein said with a smile.

"Papa!"

"Yes young master!"

"Hero..."

Marie wanted to say something but Hein shakes his head and said, "Let's leave that for later. Let's go home..."

Marie turned her head and looked at her teammates. Seeing Angela nodded her head, she quietly follows behind Hein.

When Hein and the others was about to pass through the exit, he suddenly stopped.

Turning his head, he called out to Lamia.

"Lamia... right?"

"Eh? Ah, y, yes?!"

Startled, Lamia leak out a strange voice.

Without minding it, Hein waved his hand. In an instant, a small glass bottle suddenly appeared from the air and fell into his hand.

Nine Heavens Healing Pill

[ A-grade healing pill ]

Description: Considered as an ultimate healing pill. Can cure any wounds, sickness or poison in an instant.

A healing pill.

Pills were made by people called [ Alchemist ].

These pills are known to be very important and precious.

It's known to be even more precious than potions made by [ Pharmacist ].

Pills are rank from E to A. The higher the rank the more precious and difficult for it to be made.

[ Nine Heavens Healing Pill ] a very precious healing pill, Hein inherited from Borun.

Although there are a considerable amount of pills in Borun's treasures, this was still one of the eight precious A-grade pills he have.

Giving one of these precious pills, there are only nine [ Nine Heavens Healing Pill ] left.

Looking at it for a moment, he then throws it towards her.

"Kyaa!... eh ah?!"

Surprised by his sudden actions, Lamia subconsciously tried her best to catch it.

"Let the old man take it to cure his wounds and the poison.

Consider this as my remuneration for the actions of my friends... right, old man in the future we'll continue this fight. When that time comes, I, Hein Vilestone will definitely defeat you and show you a good and interesting fight."

Leaving those words while smiling, Hein exited the place while bringing the curtain of this battle that unexpectedly ends dramatically, only leaving the two snake men dumbfounded.
