Shinobi From Hell

"Why didn\'t you save me!" Selena cried, "I was so scared!"

Klautz was annoyed beyond repair. This fool ran up to him and started crying and making childish tantrums. Would such excuses work in the world of hell? If you can\'t save yourself then you better die.

Stabbed daggers at her with his eyes. Unsheathing his sword he placed it on her neck.

Not a word came out of her mouth after that. Her mournful cry was swallowed by her scared neck.

"Hear me b*tch, cause next I would be talking to your beheaded head next if you continue this sh*t.

You joined the team on your own accord.

You took the payment on your own accord

And You protect your own ass.

There is nothing free in this damned world!"

\'Hic\'

Klautz sheathed his sword and then shout out to his team.

"Let\'s go, we have Gnolls to hunt"

--

\'... Incredible.\'

Bill was absent-mindedly staring at the scene which was unfolding before his eyes.

Out of the members gathered today, Klautz was the only one who was \'hunting\' in its truest sense.

It was a scene that made others tremble, Klautz looked like an evil spirit.

He seemed like a champion fighting to the death. Every unyielding step seemed to thirst for victory.

If it wasn\'t for Klautz, they would have been annihilated in seconds.

\'I have to get stronger.\'

Overwhelmingly.

That is what Bill felt as he watched Klautz fight.

If he doesn\'t get stronger, he would never be able to survive in this place.

If he wanted to survive, he had to get stronger.

Like the man in front of him, he had to persistently strive to survive.

"After we clean up, we will move out," said Klautz after he had massacred all the Gnolls except for the few that had fled.

His body was caked with a mixture of his own blood and the blood of the Gnolls.

\'According to the message, there should be a den nearby.\'

The Gnoll\'s den.

Looking towards the direction the Gnolls fled to, it seemed like their destination wasn\'t far away.

His stamina was almost completely used up, but he couldn\'t stop.

There was no guarantee that the quest would still be there tomorrow.

"We, we aren\'t going back?"

There were no casualties on their side, but everyone had some light scratches.

They were also extremely exhausted.

It was too much to expect them to continue.

Swish.

Instead of answering, Klautz opened his gathering bag and took out a few leaves.

The leaves on the Sacred Tree could disinfect wounds and had excellent treatment capabilities.

After inattentively crushing the leaves into a paste, he rubbed it on his wounds.

Not long after, the bleeding stopped.

"Those that want to leave, leave. If you leave now, you can get back by retracing our steps. The 4-hour duration has already ended as per our deal"

Klautz was completely calm.

The reason why he dragged all these people out here was simple.

Luggage, sleep, and for unlikely circumstances.

It was also to select the few who would fight with their life on the line.

Something like exploring the outskirts could only be done by those who are desperate.

\'For the boss battle, I need people with at least a bit of experience.\'

Bosses were strong. It was hard for him to overwhelm them alone.

The ones that only improved inside the safe zone weren\'t of any use.

Only those who experienced the outskirts for a few days would be able to cope with the boss.

It was foolish for him to try to force them.

That was why he only accepted the people who volunteered.

At the same time, the person, who asked the question, became dumbfounded.

Even if they tried to return to the temple, if they were attacked by monsters along the way, without Klautz, they would be in danger either way.

They felt that they would be safer with Klautz after watching the previous scene.

"I will follow you."

The first one to speak was Steve.

\'I can\'t let such opportunities go by\'

To him, Klautz seemed like a gold mine. He himself would never have been able to train outside the safe zone but with Klautz he was able to with just a few scratches.

Klautz who was examining his wounds next to a tree looked at him.

\'I guess he figured something out.\'

He wasn\'t simply a meddlesome fellow.

On the other hand, Reena held a small dagger in her off-hand. Looking at the blood-stained on the dagger, it seemed like she didn\'t simply run away when they encountered the Gnolls. She probably wielded her dagger to protect herself.

Even so, she was only out of breath, he didn\'t see any apparent signs of agitation in her.

\'If she just survives...\'

He smacked his lips in anticipation for a second before shaking his head.

He then grasped his trembling fist.

He couldn\'t calm his excitement.

It was quite different from his past self who was cool-headed in any situation.

He didn\'t even feel this excited after killing 300 ninjas at Kishiokagure village.

For him that was redemption for something that had already come to pass. There was no turning back.

This girl might be a minor but she was something
