"Bastard! What did you do to Captain Hong?!"
The rest of the squad swiftly acted, moving to surround Yuan.
"Isn’t it obvious what I did to him just looking at his headless corpse?" Yuan responded in an indifferent tone.
"W-Why?! Why did you kill him?!" another soldier shouted.
"Why...? Are you asking me why I defended myself?" Yuan shook his head before continuing, "If you’re going to continue uttering nonsense, then save your breath."
"You damn—"
The soldiers surged with killing intent at Yuan’s words.
"Are you sure you want to do this? You can still walk away with your life," Yuan said.
"You only managed to kill Captain Hong by surprise! Do not think we will make the same mistake!"
"And there are five of us and one of you. Do you really think you’ll be able to kill all of us with your cultivation? Laughable!"
"Forget about five. Even if there were five thousand of you, I’d still be able to kill all of you."
"I want to see you try!"
The next moment, one of the soldiers used Void Control and teleported behind Yuan.
"Die!"
The soldier struck with the intent to kill.
However, the instant his hand touched Yuan’s body, his entire body abruptly disintegrated into nothingness, vanishing from existence before he could even let out a scream.
"What just happened?!"
The remaining four soldiers instinctively backed away from Yuan after witnessing such a horrifying scene.
"W-What the fuck was that?! What did he do to Captain Dean?!"
"This guy is not human! He must be a Void Specter in disguise!"
"Run!"
The soldiers swiftly turned and ran away, their faces twisted with fear.
Yuan watched them run away, not bothering to chase after them.
’So that’s what happens when I use my affinity on another human...’ Yuan thought, shuddering slightly.
This was his first time using his affinity on anything other than materials, and the result far exceeded his expectations. Quite frankly, even Yuan found it terrifying.
’Let’s not use it unless absolutely necessary...’ he sighed inwardly.
Yuan continued his training shortly after.
Meanwhile, the soldiers from the encounter went straight back to their city, not stopping to rest until they reached their military base. Upon their return, they reported their encounter with Yuan to their superior, describing him as a Void Specter who was indistinguishable from an ordinary human.
"What? A Void Specter indistinguishable from a human had killed Captain Hong and Captain Dean? That almost sounds like the Void Hunter!"
"No! This monster was something else entirely! The moment Captain Dean came into contact with this monster, his entire body disintegrated like ash!"
"Hell, it can even speak like a normal human!"
