Chapter 75
Dohyuk and Giwon were in the ashlands, formerly the place that Grava and Changkun ruled over . Dohyuk then stopped after seeing the fifty bodies, all naked and piled up like trash .
"It's a robbery," Giwon said . He checked the bodies and found some familiar faces .
"Byungil… These were his men . I guess they were attacked on their way back . "
"Attacked? By one of your people?"
Giwon nodded .
"The Circle… we don't work together . "
The Circle only had one rule . Obey the Giant Circle, Jung Ilgyu . Other than that, there was no other rule .
"It is prohibited to fight against each other, but that's only restricted to the fight that makes the Tyrant annoyed or affects him in some way . "
Giwon looked around as he spoke .
"Kangmin… the one you killed . I don't think it's his people . They lost their leader too . "
Therefore, different forces came to attack .
"I think…"
Before Giwon could finish, Dohyuk began running in the direction they were heading towards . He had reached the answer before Giwon .
'It's too slow . '
Giwon, Kwangmin, and Byungil . They all had been searching the ashes hours before Dohyuk came across the area . Yet, those groups that made this mess arrived after Dohyuk left the place with Giwon . It was too late to search the ashlands, and Dohyuke realized that the group's purpose wasn't to investigate . Perhaps they knew that there was nothing in the ashes . The real treasure was in a different place .
"Damn, f*ck!" Dohyuk spat as he stopped . He hid next to a big pile of ash and looked toward the front . The group was now standing in the grassland, and he quickly counted how many of them there were .
There were about twenty of them and they had a few bodies with them .
"Those bodies…" Giwon panted from behind as he looked at the burnt bodies on the ground .
"It's from the catapult you were talking about . "
"Yeah . "
Dohyuk knew it didn't mean well . These people were out of the catapult's range, so it meant that those bodies had been moved there . Someone saw them dying and moved in to take the bodies back . If that was possible…
"Lee… Yuri?"
Giwon frowned . Dohyuk turned to Giwon .
"You know her?"
"Yes…"
But he knew less among the people who actually knew her . Giwon was once called the arm of the Tyrant . He knew a lot about the important figures within the organization, but Lee Yuri was an exception .
"She's a Four Circle . This time, she became powerful pretty quickly . "
Giwon only knew her as a useful warrior in the previous life, and other than that, he did not know much about her .
"I won't recommend fighting her now . She too won't approach the city yet so we should…"
"I wish we could take that choice but . . . " Dohyuk was busy observing . "I don't think that will work . "
Giwon then looked toward the place Dohyuk point at with his chin . In the distance, there was a group of non-human beings walking toward the plains . The beings consisted of hundreds of giants with turbans on their head . They were Bermurans from Aruga City who were tasked with sharing farming knowledge and survival methods for the city .
"Do you think there's a chance that they will not attack those Bermuran people?"

There was no chance . It wasn't like before where the entire world was controlled by Aruga . They didn't need to worry about the weak Aruga, and these warriors were more powerful than those Bermuran soldiers . There was nothing to be gained, but killing those Bermurans for 'fun' was not weird at all .
Dohyuk flexed his arms and spoke as he pointed at the Bermurans walking closer to the plains .
"Go . Go and tell them my words and have them wait . "
"Are you going to fight them alone?"
It was too dangerous . Even if Dohyuk was stronger than Giwon, having Giwon help him would make things much easier .
"You can't be found out yet . " Dohyuk did not repeat his answer and shouted, "AH-AH!"
Twenty people, including Lee Yuri, turned toward them . They were still out of sight . Giwon ran . There was no choice now as Dohyuk fisted his hair . He thought of everything he had, every Nature and skill he knew . Then he heard the footsteps of two people from beyond the ashes .
"Fire . "
One spoke . They were still about 30 meters away, but it seemed like they had ranged weapons . Dohyuk jumped to move out from the ash . Then the ash piles exploded as if they had been struck by a cannon . As he threw himself to the side, Dohyuk saw a pair of twins .
There were two women in their early thirties . Both had crossbow-like weapons that one fired at the ashes, and the other was turning toward Dohyuk .
"Right side!" the one who fired at the ash shouted .
"I know, sister . "
The younger sister aimed at Dohyuk . Dohyuk would've taken the hit if it wasn't for the hair he grabbed on .
-Hand of Lightning

At that moment, the younger sister was stunned . Why didn't the arrow fire? She pulled the trigger . No, she 'tried' to pull the trigger . Along with her arm, the crossbow dropped . There were a few black threads stuck to her arm . It had sliced her muscles, making her lose motor control . She then used her other hands to pull out her dagger . She had to buy time for her sister to fire . But-
"KYAAAAAA!"
She turned and saw her older sister . Her arm wasn't damaged . Instead-
"M-my eyes!!"
The younger sister then spun around again and saw a foot .
It was the sudden kick that Dohyuk had unleashed, but it wasn't powerful enough to twist the younger sister's head 180 degrees . He quickly jumped back as he landed on the ground and dodged .
"AAARGH!"
The arrow that was fired wasn't aimed since the older sister could no longer see . Dohyuk brought his hand up . He still had one more 'lightning' in his hand .
[Bestows -Throwing Weapon- status on the object that a user holds in their hand . It is given at least F-rank for 'throwing' and maintains its status for a certain amount of time . ]
He was holding a black needle .
-Physical attack: 5~9
Dohyuk had made the object from his hair . With the help of Giwon's Nature, he was able to turn his hair into a throwing weapon . However, it wasn't just a normal throw .
This was a skill that he acquired from Aruga, a skill that allowed Aruga to become a god . Even with the skill, however, the weapon was still an F+ rank, and its damage was limited . That's why he aimed the eyes or…

"UGH!"
The throat .
Dohyuk readied himself .
He did not move, nor did he need to . Just between those few seconds that he killed twins, the remaining people were approaching him .
"Seventeen including one Four Circle… . " Dohyuk mumbled . "It'll become worse in a week . "
A voice reached his ears .
"Oh, you are ambitious . "
The woman who spoke was probably Lee Yuri .
"I don't know what might happen in a week, but shouldn't you be worried about seconds later? Yoo Dohyuk?"
She spoke as she took out her lash . If it wasn't for the reflection from the sunlight, it would've been hard to notice that it was a lash .
"It looks like a good weapon . "
"It is! Isn't it nice? It's really good . Maybe you can eat it if you win . "
"…I am not that hungry," Dohyuk answered and looked at the people approaching . He then remembered what he digested recently .
