Blood Assimilation

Another thing he noticed was his fearless behavior when confronting others and his mysterious aura that was unlike the boundless murderous aura he exuded. That aura his incarnation exuded was more fierce, imposing, and commanding. On the other hand, the murderous aura he possessed seemed to contain an aura of death, capable of inducing apprehension, hallucination, and terror into any living being.

Randy decided to dismiss the actions of his Incarnation after realizing that it was actually helping him knowingly or unknowingly by planning ahead. Although he didn’t understand the mechanism behind it, he acknowledged the potential of such an ability.

To be able to predict and plan his course of action based on his knowledge and situation, was an essential ability that he could exploit. Now that he was away from the real world, he might need to depend on his incarnations to gather information for when he extricates himself from the safe room.

As evident with the way his incarnation gathered those collections of information from the Holy Knights when it seemingly had no interest in the first place, he could see this becoming an invaluable ability.

If all his incarnations had the same ability for whatever reason, he would be able to gather information from multiple sources.

Furthermore, based on the indifferent attitude his incarnation displayed when he saw the two familiar Holy Knights, he could tell that this was an ability that his incarnation had no control over and it automatically activated at that time.

From Randy’s perspective, his incarnation acted quite childish when not triggered by certain events. He believed that his incarnation self had somehow inherited and incorporated more of his childhood memories and behavior.

As a result of that, he was more inclined to play around than to take things seriously. Randy wasn’t sure if his incarnation’s behavior was desirable or undesirable. The current him had learned the harsh reality of not taking things seriously when the time of his awakening came. Because of that experience, he refused to turn back to being that silly child who only knew to mess around and not worry about his future.

.....

With that being said, as long as his incarnation did not commit crimes, he would welcome its current behavior over some other kind of behavior. After all, the past him and the present him are two separate entities. Therefore, he shouldn’t cared too much about trivial things related to his past.

After concluding the matter, he took out the corpse of the Holy Knight Captain that he had in his spatial ring. He planned on making use of his incarnation’s arrangement to set some things into motion.

…

In the outside world.

A few minutes after Incarnation Randy left the casino establishment, he noticed some silhouettes following him in the shadows. On his way, they had been constantly watching his every movement in the shadows. With his keen sense of perception, Incarnation Randy managed to identify their overall location and numbers.

Furthermore, he recognized their familiar presence. Although their presence appeared slightly different from before, he could still discern that it was those two casino girls who had been bothering him during his time in their establishment.

At some point, Incarnation Randy stopped near the entrance to an alley.

He then calmly stared into the dark alley before him and spoke: “Come out! I know you’ve been following me!”

In the dark alleyway, two female silhouettes were crouching in the darkness, their faces obscured by the hoods of their cloaks. However, the glow of their eyes could not be hidden as they fiercely glared at their target. One had long blonde hair and the other had jet-black hair. Both were armed with sharp daggers, ready to strike at any moment.

A cold voice was heard as it reverberated through the alleyway: “I guess you’re not half bad for someone who’s completely clueless about his situation. So what if you noticed our presence? You will still die at our hands.”

Incarnation Randy sternly questioned: “Is that what your boss instructed you to do?”

“...”

“I’ll take that silence as a no, then. In other words, you simply wanted to take revenge on me because I pushed you two away, huh? How petty and meaningless.”

Incarnation Randy sounded scornful and disappointed.

“Even if what you’re saying is the truth, the fact that you’ve offended our casino wouldn’t change. So you’re still going to die, no matter what excuses you make. Also, you’re out of your league this time. We’re trained professional killers.”

A voice sounding annoyed resounded shortly after.

“Hahaha!”

Incarnation Randy burst into laughter. Then, he cracked his knuckles and smirked: “Looks like you ladies could use a challenge. I’m not one to back down from a fight. And I think you’re the ones who are out of your league by deciding to come after me when I’m in a mood to test my current prowess after my resurrection.”

There was a moment of silence.

The illuminating stars in the sky shone down upon the dimly lit alleyway, casting long shadows that danced on the walls. The two casino girls stood at one end of the alley, daggers glinting in their hands. At the other end, Incarnation Randy stood there. He had a well-built body, his muscles rippling beneath his long-sleeved black coat, and his fists clenched and ready for action.

The two casino girls were offended by Incarnation Randy’s arrogant and condescending tone. Without a word, they lunged at him. They attacked him simultaneously, their gleaming daggers flashing through the darkness.

The blonde casino girl lunged forward with her dagger, while the black-haired one circled around to attack from behind.

Incarnation Randy was quick to react, dodging the blonde casino girl’s dagger with a swift movement to the left, then grabbing the black-haired casino girl’s wrist as she tried to stab him from behind.

“You two really need to work on your teamwork.”

He taunted, twisting the black-haired casino girl’s wrist until she dropped her dagger.

The blonde casino girl tried to take advantage of the Incarnation Randy’s distraction, but he was too nimble for her to reach him with her dagger. He grabbed her wrist and twisted it until she dropped her dagger as well.

“You two are no match for me. Just give up.”

He boasted, a confident grin spreading across his face.

“Oh?”

The blonde casino girl heard this and coldly sneered: “Is that so?”

Whoosh!

After she spoke, she threw a hidden weapon at Incarnation Randy at point blank, aiming for his left eye without hesitation.

Although they were told by their boss to coax him first, they refused to do so, as Incarnation Randy had repeatedly pissed them off. Therefore, they decided to kill him and take everything he had from him. Using this method would save them some time since they get to avoid cajoling him since they didn’t like him.

However, contrary to the blonde casino girl’s expectations, Incarnation Randy didn’t even flinch, nor did he bother to dodge the incoming deadly attack. Instead, before the hidden weapon reached his left eye, his eyes glowed with purple light, halting the hidden weapon in its tracks as it hovered before him. He then caught the object before him with his bare hand.

Incarnation Randy observed the dart in his hand and said: “To think you resorted to using the very darts your guest used in their challenge in the casino to harm them right after they leave. How tactless of you. Do you not have any other weapons besides your shining daggers and this dart?”

“Hmph! I can’t believe you managed to survive my surprise attack.”

The blonde casino girl took advantage of her attack to undo Incarnation Randy’s grip on her hand, and then made some distance between them. The black-haired casino girl had also taken advantage of the ruse to create some distance between her and Incarnation Randy.

At this time, both the blonde casino girl and the black-haired casino girl were in front and back of Incarnation Randy, respectively.

“What’s it going to be? Do you want to fight me with your fists now that the two of you have lost your daggers? Don’t tell me you can’t do anything without your precious daggers?”

Incarnation Randy mocked them, riling them with his words. The two casino girls were angry and felt humiliated that they had lost their weapons as professional assassins.

Suddenly, their bodies disappeared and then reappeared in different positions next to Incarnation Randy. Furthermore, their hand was encased in mana that radiated a sharp aura.

The blonde casino girl slashed at him fiercely. With astonishing speed, the blonde casino girl directly aimed her incredibly sharp blade hand at Incarnation Randy’s side. Despite her astonishing speed, Incarnation Randy was unfazed by her sneak attack.

He easily sidestepped around her, then swung a flurry of fist attacks at her face, chest, and stomach. She barely had time to react before she was sent flying backward, her body soon crashing into the wall behind her.

[Void Wave Punch]

The black-haired casino girl coordinated her attack with the blonde casino girl. She hissed when she saw the merciless attacks suffered by her partner and shouted: “Damn you! Take this!”

Taking advantage of Incarnation Randy’s movement, her blade hand was able to target his head at the right time.

Meanwhile, Incarnation Randy grinned, ducking under her blade hand and slamming his fist into her gut. She felt breathless, as she gasped for breath. Incarnation Randy wasn’t done with her yet. He followed up with a roundhouse kick that sent her spinning in the air before landing on the ground.

Incarnation Randy didn’t want to go easy on her. After all, she aimed her attack at his head, which was too deadly for him to be lenient with her. However, surprisingly, the two girls were quite resilient and persistent, as they stood up shortly after being thrashed by Incarnation Randy.
