“What the f*ck!
What is that?!”
“A Stone Man?
Boss, another Stone Man is here!”
“Is it a superhero?”
“Why care so much?!
Open fire!”
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat—!
The submachine guns in the robbers’ hands spat out tongues of fire, and bullets poured onto Su Kai like a rainstorm.
Clang, clang, sparks flew everywhere.
Su Kai let them concentrate their fire on him, walking straight toward the bank entrance.
The bullets hit the rock armor on his chest, but they didn’t even leave a white mark before being deflected.
“Although I’d love to play with you, unfortunately, I’m in a hurry.”
Su Kai’s muffled voice came through his faceplate.
Then, he swung the Nether Blade on his right arm casually.
Swish!
A black light flashed by.
The robber in the very front who was firing was sliced in half, along with his gun, right down the middle!
His body was instantly split in two, and the massive amount of blood that flowed out completely stained the ground red.
The other two robbers’ eyes widened, and they were so scared that they almost dropped the guns in their hands.
“Mo…
Monster!”
“Run!”
They turned and wanted to rush into the bank.
Su Kai moved in, swinging his blade again.
Swish!
Swish!
Two heads wearing ski masks were cleanly sliced off by Su Kai in one fluid motion.
The heads rolled onto the ground, and the headless bodies, still carrying momentum, lunged forward and fell, while the submachine guns in their hands clattered to the floor.
The gunfire inside the bank had stopped.
Everyone who heard the commotion looked toward the entrance in unison.
The gray-white ‘Stone Armor’, carrying a canvas bag, walked out from behind the shattered counter.
He stared at the pitch-black, rock-armored figure at the door holding a glowing arm blade, a look of uncertainty and shock appearing on his rock-covered face.
“You…” ‘Stone Armor’s’ voice was hoarse, carrying a heavy Eastern European accent.
“Who are you?”
Su Kai acted as if he hadn’t heard, walking straight into the bank lobby.
Several corpses were already lying on the cold floor, both security guards and staff.
The dozen or so surviving staff members were forced into a corner, trembling with fear.
The dozen or so robbers behind ‘Stone Armor’ immediately turned their guns, aiming them all at Su Kai.
“Boss, this guy’s ability is just like yours!”
“But he just killed Bob and the others!”
“Take him out!”
Rat-tat-tat-tat—!
Bullets whistled toward him again.
However, it was still just a tickle.
Seeing that their guns were useless, several robbers pulled grenades from their waists, pulled the pins, and threw them at Su Kai.
Su Kai glanced at them and swung his arm blade casually.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
While the grenades were still in mid-air, they were already split in two by the sharp blade, and the light of explosions lit up one after another.
The shockwave of the explosions sent bricks and stones flying, but still didn’t harm Su Kai in the slightest.
“Damn it, what kind of defense is this?!”
“Boss, what do we do?”
Watching Su Kai walk closer and closer, a fierce glint flashed in ‘Stone Armor’s’ eyes beneath the rock covering.
“Useless trash, get out of the way!”
He let out a low growl, threw the canvas bag onto the ground, and charged forward violently!
Thump, thump, thump!
‘Stone Armor’ stepped on the ground, each step emitting a heavy, muffled sound.
His gray-white rocky body was like an out-of-control tank, charging straight toward Su Kai!
“Die for me!”
He swung his bowl-sized rock fist, whistling through the air, and smashed it fiercely toward Su Kai’s face!
Su Kai finally stopped.
He looked up at the rock fist smashing toward him.
Without dodging or avoiding it, he met it with a punch of his own!
The two fists, covered in different-colored rocks, collided fiercely in mid-air!
Boom—!!!
A loud noise erupted!
A violent shockwave exploded from the center of the two, blowing the gravel and banknotes on the ground everywhere.
Even the few robbers behind ‘Stone Armor’ were pushed back several meters by the violent shockwave, stumbling.
Immediately after, they witnessed a jaw-dropping scene.
Whoosh—bang!
Their boss, that ‘Stone Armor’ who could smash through bulletproof glass with one punch and was impervious to weapons, had actually been sent flying in this punch exchange and smashed heavily into the bank wall!
In contrast, the black rock man on the other side stood rooted to the spot, motionless, looking extremely relaxed.
“Is that it?” Su Kai shook his fist.
“The strength is okay, but that’s about it.”
‘Stone Armor’ on the wall twisted his head and pried himself out of the wall.
It had to be said, ‘Stone Armor’s’ defensive ability was actually quite good.
Under Su Kai’s strike using only ten percent of his strength, he hadn’t actually suffered much damage.
After prying himself out, he looked at his slightly numb rock fist, then at Su Kai’s undamaged black rock armor, and a trace of fear finally appeared in his eyes.
“Who…
who exactly are you?!” he growled.
“Sent by Vought?
Or a helper found by those bastards from the ‘Gray Wolves’?”
Su Kai still couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense.
He could already feel that the Star Energy had surged by a small amount following the collision of that punch.
It seemed that the growth brought about by this kind of actual combat, although slower than simply absorbing compounds, was more solid.
“It’s time to end this.”
Su Kai stepped forward, his speed suddenly increasing!
‘Stone Armor’s’ pupils contracted, and he immediately assumed a defensive stance, crossing his arms to protect his chest, the rock layer on his arm skin thickening a bit more.
But Su Kai had no intention of going head-to-head with him again.
He raised the Nether Blade, and the ghostly light on the blade’s edge suddenly became blinding!
Swish—!
A black line flashed by.
‘Stone Armor’ didn’t even see how Su Kai had attacked and suddenly felt his arms go light.
He looked down.
Immediately after, he saw that his two thickened rock arms, which were enough to block rocket-propelled grenades, were now severed at the elbows!
The cuts were smooth and even.
Gray rock fragments and bright red flesh mixed together and hit the ground with a splat.
“Ah—!!!”
‘Stone Armor’ immediately let out a shrill scream, stumbling backward and leaning against the bank wall, blood spraying wildly from his two severed arms, instantly staining the ground in front of him red.
The rock layer on his face began to flicker and flake off unstably, slowly revealing a pale, twisted Eastern European face underneath, covered in cold sweat.
Su Kai strode forward and immediately kicked ‘Stone Armor’ in the chest.
Bang!
A loud noise.
‘Stone Armor’ was kicked directly to the ground by this blow, his back smashing heavily onto the shattered floor tiles, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
He struggled to get up, but Su Kai’s foot was like a mountain, a terrifying weight pressing down on him firmly.
“Who…
who exactly are you?!” ‘Stone Armor’ stared with blood-red eyes, fixing his gaze on Su Kai’s face covered by the black faceplate.
“Tell me!
Let me die knowing!”
Su Kai looked down at him and suddenly chuckled playfully.
The sound came through the faceplate.
“Me?”
He tilted his head.
“I am, of course, you.”
As the words fell, the Nether Blade slashed down instantly.
Swish!
‘Stone Armor’s’ head and neck were instantly separated, rolling to one side.
In those wide-open eyes, the final terror and confusion still remained.
He never understood until he died what that sentence actually meant.
