Chapter 296 The Deserter King, Die!!!

"Not bad! That's quite well done!"

Kyle's soft, appreciative voice rang out, bringing another smile to Koby's face.

But the next second, his face suddenly froze on the spot.

"but--"

"Damn pirates! They'd even kill their own comrades to save their own lives!"

"Such a ruthless person must not be allowed to live!!"

(⊙o⊙)...

Koby was completely stunned. Before he could recover, Kyle snapped his fingers.

A burst of energy shot out from between his fingers, cutting through the air and arriving in front of Koby in an instant.

puff! !

Flesh and blood tore apart, blood splattered, and the force of the finger pierced through Koby's body, emerging from his back.

The impact sent him flying, and then he crashed back down.

"ah!!"

Koby lay on the ground, rolling around and growling.

He clutched his bleeding stomach tightly with both hands, rolling around for a while before the commotion gradually subsided.

His forehead was covered in sweat, mixed with the bloodstains on his face, emitting a strange stench.

He struggled to lift his head and look at Kyle, speaking with difficulty and confusion:

"Why...why did you attack me?!"

"Didn't I already do as you said?!"

Kyle looked down at Koby with a calm, unwavering gaze, then spoke in a low voice:

"Didn't I already give you the reason?"

"You ruthless pirate, you'd even kill your own crew to save your own life! I can't keep you alive!!"

"Didn't I tell you I'm not part of their pirate crew? Why won't you believe me?!"

Upon hearing Kyle's words, Koby couldn't help but roar, and in his emotional outburst, he aggravated his wound, wincing in pain once again.

"And if you didn't believe me from the beginning, why did you ask me to kill them? Are you playing me for a fool?"

Koby's tone was clearly filled with anger.

Kyle smiled and looked at Koby with a mocking gaze.

"You're only just realizing I was playing a trick on you?"

"Yeah, I was just messing with you. I never intended to let you off the hook, so what?"

"Weren't you having a good time killing people just now? I even satisfied your craving!"

"Besides, even if you knew now, what could you do about it?"

"What can you do to me? I'm standing right here. Let's see if you can hurt a single hair on my head."

Kyle smiled, his face beaming with genuine joy and sunshine.

But to Koby, that smile was like the devil.

At the same time, he was extremely puzzled, his face and mind filled with confusion.

no?!

You just admit it like that?

He had assumed that Kyle might deny it or become enraged and attack him if he questioned him like that.

But to my utter surprise, she readily admitted it so readily, without the slightest hint of embarrassment.

Is this... the shamelessness of the world's strongest person?

No wonder he's not the world's strongest!

Kyle lifted his foot, took a step, and walked towards Koby step by step. Soon he arrived in front of Koby, stopped, and looked down.

Looking at Koby struggling at his feet, Kyle's smile vanished, his eyes hardening, a chill seeping from them.

"Do you know?"

"You are the person I hate most in this world, bar none!"

"Your existence is utterly disgusting and repulsive. I don't know how someone like you deserves to live in this world!"

"So, to stop wasting this world's air, I'll send you to hell!"

Before he finished speaking, Kyle suddenly unleashed a torrent of violent purple lightning that surged toward Koby.

In the blink of an eye, it engulfed Koby completely.

Almost the instant the lightning struck Koby, his presence vanished.

Even in his final moments, Koby was filled with doubts, especially about Kyle's last words.

Is he the person Kyle hates most in this world?

Honestly, this is the first time he's ever met Kyle! How did he become Kyle's most hated person??

What did he do?

Koby couldn't find the answer to this question while he was alive, and he's even less likely to know it now that he's dead.

A few breaths later, the purple lightning dissipated, and there was no trace of Koby's original location.

That's right, there is nothing there.

The deserter king, a guy hated by countless people, died without leaving a single hair behind, completely blasted into dust by Kyle's Purple Lightning.

A person like him, even if he dies and his corpse continues to exist, is a harm to the world.

Almost simultaneously, the familiar electronic voice rang in Kyle's mind again.

【Ding! ! 】

[The deserter king has been detected as dead. Mission complete. We are now rating the mission completion. Please wait...]

Whether it was a misperception or not, Kyle inexplicably felt a hint of excitement in the system's electronic voice.

But before he could think about it, the system's voice came again.

[Task rating complete. Task completion rate: 98.2%. Task rating: Perfect!!!]

[Detailed Description: The host's efficiency is evident in their immediate arrival upon receiving the mission. During the mission, the host focused on destroying the target's mind; psychological warfare is the highest form of skill! The host brought the target to the brink of mental collapse, delivering the final blow swiftly and decisively! Therefore, a perfect rating is awarded!]

[Mission Completion Reward: [Back Attack]]

"Um?!"

Kyle was slightly bewildered by the series of system prompts.

This was the first time he had ever seen the system write so much after completing a mission. It seemed that the king of deserters was indeed the king of deserters; his skill level was different!

but……

What the heck is this mission reward??

Backstab? Why does that name sound so cheesy?

But Kyle's idea was instantly overturned when he saw the description of this ability.

Backstab? ? (×)

Amazing skill!!! (√)
