SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55: End Of The Hunt.

The moment the armoured man felt Kael’s gaze settle on him, he couldn’t help but tense.

After witnessing what had happened to the plunderers, it would have been stranger if he wasn’t nervous.

"I-I should probably explain something first," he said hurriedly. "Me and those guys weren’t really together. Well... we were, but only for today. I joined their team randomly this morning. I didn’t know they were like that."

The words came out in a rush as if he was afraid Kael might punch his head off before he finished speaking.

Kael simply nodded.

"I know."

Kael’s expression remained calm as he continued.

"That’s why you aren’t lying beside them."

The armoured man instinctively looked over Kael’s shoulder.

The corpses of the plunderers were scattered across the desert. Some had crushed ribcages. Others had shattered skulls. None of them looked remotely intact.

A shiver ran down his spine.

He swallowed hard.

Just then, Kael spoke again.

"So..."

The armoured man immediately straightened.

"Oh! Right. My name is Gerald."

"Gerald." Kael nodded. "So what are you planning to do now?"

Gerald scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"I think I’ll head home. I’ve had enough hunting for one day."

His gaze shifted toward Adam and Zoey.

"What about you gu—"

He abruptly stopped.

A look of panic appeared on his face.

"No, wait. That’s not what I meant. I wasn’t trying to find out where you’re going so I could follow you or anything. I don’t have any bad intentions."

The large armored man began babbling once more.

Kael ignored most of it.

"I’m planning to help them level up a little more before the day ends."

Gerald nodded.

The answer made sense.

Although the sun still hung high in the sky, everyone knew the Sand World didn’t follow the same day-and-night cycle as Earth. Daytime here could last for days before darkness finally arrived.

But there was still enough time left for another hunt.

"Got it," Gerald said.

Kael’s attention then shifted toward the healer lying nearby.

The man’s eyes immediately widened.

Hope appeared on his face.

"Well, you did a good job."

The healer’s eyes brightened instantly.

"As promised, I’ll spare your life."

Relief washed over the man’s face.

For a brief moment, he genuinely thought he had survived.

Then a sword appeared in Kael’s hand.

The healer’s smile froze.

"But before that..."

Kael vanished.

The distance between them disappeared in an instant.

Before the healer could even process what was happening, a flash of steel swept through the air.

Two screams echoed across the desert.

Blood splashed onto the sand.

The healer collapsed, clutching at empty space where his arms had once been. Both legs had also been severed cleanly below the knee.

His agonized shrieks spread across the surrounding dunes.

Kael calmly put away his sword.

"Now that’s much better."

The healer rolled around in the sand, screaming in unbearable pain.

Kael didn’t spare him another glance.

The man was alive.

That was what had been promised.

Nothing more.

Pulling the whistle from his inventory, Kael blew into it.

A familiar chirping cry echoed from above.

Moments later, Mira descended from the sky with a powerful flap of her wings, casting a massive shadow over the desert.

The group climbed onto her back.

Soon, the giant moth rose into the air and disappeared into the distance.

Gerald remained standing where he was.
