Wasteland's Only King
Chapter 275 - 47: Silver Beach Island! The Island Lord and Lady! Waiting for the Hare!_2
"According to that lord, His Highness Damian is extremely fond of women."
"If you go, my lady, you’ll have him utterly bewitched!"
"When the time comes, just whisper a few words in his ear, and I’ll be able to step onto Central Island and climb the ranks!"
Right now, Walter wasn’t the least bit troubled about being cuckolded; on the contrary, he was full of hope for the future.
"You bastard~"
The young woman shot Walter a glare as he grinned like an idiot, cursing him softly under her breath.
But in her tone, there was clearly a hint of anticipation, too.
If she could really enchant His Highness...
She could soar to the top and be the phoenix on the branch!
Walter?
Who cares about Walter?
She didn’t have a husband; at most, he was just her late ex.
At this moment.
The Lord and Lady of the Island—neither had any idea what the other was thinking.
They, along with the other five hundred thousand residents of Silver Beach Island, all displayed their very best spirits, gazing off towards the distant Black Sea, quietly awaiting Damian’s arrival.
Bzzzz—
Suddenly.
The air above Silver Beach quivered softly.
A thin, spare figure materialized out of the void.
"His Highness Damian?"
Walter froze for a moment, then lit up with delight!
"Your Highness!"
The Lady of the Island’s beautiful eyes shimmered with watery light.
"Welcome, Your Highness!"
On Silver Beach, five hundred thousand voices shouted in unison.
"?"
Yu Jin was stunned.
"Wait, no..."
For a moment, he was a bit lost.
Until—
Walter cautiously sensed Yu Jin’s aura.
The Island Lord stood motionless.
"A human?"
Walter’s eager, bootlicking smile froze instantly on his face.
The Lady of the Island, who had been posing so nonchalantly with a hint of spring showing as she lifted her skirt, found her delicate hand suspended awkwardly in the air.
On Silver Beach.
Five hundred thousand Fallen Ones stared at each other, faces blank with confusion.
A human?
A human actually appeared on Silver Beach Island!
"Who are you?!"
Walter quickly snapped out of it, his brows furrowing, voice low and dangerous.
At the same time—
Boom—
The black mist around him started to surge and roil.
Unlimited Value—5%!
With 5% Value, even on these seas, you could be counted as one of the powerful.
But...
In front of Yu Jin, it was no different from an ant.
"Yu Jin."
Yu Jin smiled as he introduced himself.
As soon as he spoke—
Walter was stunned again.
"Yu Jin?"
He hadn’t heard this name before.
But...
Silver Beach Island was quite a distance from the coast.
This human had appeared out of nowhere—no matter how you looked at it, something was off.
Normally, Walter might have chosen to observe more cautiously before taking action.
But now?
His Highness Damian could arrive at any moment—he had to eliminate this sudden trouble before then.
The decision was made in a split-second.
Whoosh—!
Walter struck.
On Silver Beach.
The five hundred thousand Fallen were still baffled about the appearance of a human here, some even curious.
The Island Lord, Walter, was already in front of Yu Jin.
"Whoever you are..."
"Die for me!"
Walter’s face twisted with vicious intent as he swung a palm at Yu Jin.
This strike was laced with black mist and fire.
And this palm—Walter was using his full strength, holding nothing back!
He didn’t have the time to play some back-and-forth, turn-based battle with this human—what he had to do was kill this crawling human pest as quickly as possible!
"Dark Fire Attribute?"
Yu Jin looked at the approaching palm, brows raised slightly.
That’s an Attribute he had, too.
"Let me try as well."
Yu Jin murmured to himself, lifted his hand, and gently struck forward.
BOOM—!
A sonic boom tore through the air, ripping the void apart.
The hand wreathed in black mist and fire collided with Yu Jin’s, right before Walter’s horrified eyes.
BANG—!
Above Silver Beach Island, a red-black firework exploded.
Walter’s figure disappeared without a trace.
All that remained...
Were countless fragments of flesh and blood drifting from the sky, fluttering down like snowflakes.
In that moment.
Silver sanded beach—dead silence!
Gulp—
The Lady of the Island, always so alluring, had turned pale, her beauty drained away by terror.
As Walter’s woman, no one knew his true strength better than her!
They said his Unlimited Value was 5%, but in truth, he was close to reaching 6%!
But now?
He’s dead!
A single blow—just one strike.
The human youth hadn’t even seemed to use any real force, and Walter died, just like that!
So utterly dead, so... disintegrated!
In the sky—
Yu Jin gazed at the five hundred thousand lined up neatly below, with curiosity lighting his face.
Killing Walter was nothing to him—just a casual wave, not even worth mentioning.
What Yu Jin really cared about was this gathering of half a million, and the ’Your Highness’ they’d shouted together when he first arrived.
"Have my island-wiping rampage yesterday finally caught the attention of the Fallen?"
"Is this..."
"They sent a high-ranking guy to lead an army and hunt me down?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Yu Jin’s guess was a bit off, but not by much.
Meanwhile, on Silver Beach—
The Lady of the Island and the rest of the Fallen were finally snapping out of their shock at Walter’s death.
All at once—
Shouts of terror, wails of anguish, cries for vengeance, curses, and desperate begging filled the air without end.
"So noisy."
Yu Jin’s thoughts were interrupted; he frowned slightly.
He waved his hand downwards, almost absent-minded.
Woosh—
Black and red flames erupted from every corner of the void.
In an instant, the entire island was drowned in fire.
On Silver Beach, the five hundred thousand Fallen, every last one of them, were swept up in the flames.
"Aaaagh—!"
"No, no please!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
"I didn’t curse you, I swear I didn’t!"
At first, when he started slaughtering the ordinary Fallen, Yu Jin would still feel something stir inside.
But...
After killing so many, he’d gone numb.
Yu Jin’s face was expressionless as he looked towards the front of Silver Beach.
There, a young woman was desperately trying to fend off the burning flames devouring her.
Her Unlimited Value wasn’t high—just 4%. Against Yu Jin’s Dark Fire at essentially 20% Value, she might as well have had none at all.
"Best to leave one alive, ask about this ’Your Highness’ business."
Yu Jin had a thought, and waved his hand again.
Swoosh—
The flames on the Lady of the Island extinguished instantly.
As the shrieks all around her faded and snuffed out, she rose helplessly into the air, floating toward Yu Jin.
From Yu Jin’s perspective, he could see her generous chest and the plunging ravine of her cleavage.
But...
Yu Jin couldn’t care less for these second-hand goods.
"Tell me about ’Your Highness’."
Yu Jin said flatly, his tone cold.
As his words fell—
The Lady of the Island snapped back from her terror of death.
Pale-faced, she looked at this human demon hovering in front of her.
"I-I..."
She stammered for ages, until Yu Jin raised his hand again—her eyes went wide with fear.
And then—
She spilled out every last detail she knew, not holding a thing back.
She even confessed her petty scheme to seduce Damian and murder Walter afterwards to secure her place.
"Honest enough."
Yu Jin nodded in satisfaction when she finished.
"So... so..."
The woman’s eyes pleaded desperately for her life.
As she spoke, she even lowered her head, bit her lips, and leaned in toward Yu Jin, offering herself.
Fwoosh—
Flames erupted from the void.
In a single blink, the young woman was reduced to ash.
"So I’ll make it quick for you."
Yu Jin muttered, shaking his head, then spared no more thought for the fifty thousand Fallen burned to cinders on Silver Beach—instead, he looked out over the distant sea.
According to what the woman said, that was the direction Damian was coming from.
"Son of the Sphere Lord?"
"An army of a million?"
"Now this—that’s the kind of windfall I’ve been waiting for..."
Yu Jin’s lips curled into a smile.
At this moment—
He didn’t even bother to check the Source Points he’d earned from this latest slaughter, or glance at the now-unlocked Wasteland OL shop.
He simply stood there, adjusting his own status.
Right now, he had to play the role of a patient hunter, waiting by the tree for his prey.
Not much time had passed—
BOOM—
BOOM—!
Rumbling thunder echoed from the distant sea.
Towering waves crashed one atop the other, higher and higher.
Amid the roaring surf, a teeming mass of shadowy figures rushed headlong their way.
Watching this, Yu Jin rolled his wrists, the crack of joints sounding like popcorn popping.
"Let’s hope..."
"They’re at least ants with a little fight in them."
