Closing the door behind him, Ren stood in front of the door.

The room was dark, and apart from his breathing, no other sound could be heard.

Standing in front of the door, Ren looked at the narrow corridor that led to the living room of the small apartment.

-Click!

Turning on the lights whilst keeping an eye on the living room, Ren slowly took off his shoes.

Though he couldn't see the whole living room due to the corridor narrowing his line of sight, Ren knew that hiding inside of the living room were assassins waiting for him to enter.

Looking left and right, Ren summoned his sword and channeled his mana towards the tip of his sword.

"Oof, I am so stuffed. I can barely move, guess I'll quickly head to bed"

Making small talk at the entrance of the room, a translucent ring slowy formed in front of him.

-Voom!

As soon as the ring fully formed, Ren pushed it forwards.

Slowly, the ring moved towards the living room.

-Shua! -Shua!

As soon as the ring crossed the corridor and entered the living room, two black-clad silhouettes appeared out of nowhere and attacked the ring.

-Crack!

Breaking into a million particles, the ring scattered in the air.

Staring at the particles scattering in the air for a split second and noticing something wrong, the two silhouettes immediately turned towards the entrance of the room.

-Tap -Tap -Tap

Appearing from the other side of the living room, Ren's indifferent figure walked out.

Expressionesly looking at the two black-clad individuals, Ren took a stance as a white glow emanated from his body.

Nodding towards the two silhouettes, Ren placed his hand on the grip of his sword

-Click!

The second movement of the [Keiki style] : Horizon splitting slash

-Vuam!

As if a bolt of lightning had descended, a bright light illuminated the room and a horizontal white streak of light appeared on the necks of the two silhouettes.

Before the silhouettes could make out what was happening, they felt their world turn upside down as they slowly saw their headless bodies standing upright before them.

-thud! -thud!

-Click!

Removing his hand from the sword, Ren apathetically walked towards his room, ignoring the two heads rolling on the floor.

Along the way, his shoulder twitched a couple of times, but he ignored it.

Though his injury still wasn't fully healed, with the effects of [Monarch's indifference], he could ignore the pain that was coursing through his shoulder.

Heading towards the nightstand next to the bed, Ren opened the drawer and took out a red leather book.

Deactivating [Monarch's indifference] to save mana, Ren felt his emotions return to him.

"khhhh..."

As his emotions returned, Ren's face repeatedly changed as he felt his shoulder twitch uncontrollably.

Taking a minute to suppress the pain, Ren opened the red book and read through its contents.

-Clank! -Clank! -Clank!

Surrounded by three black-clothed individuals, Kevin swiftly moved around his apartment hacking at them with his sword whenever he saw an opening.

-Clank!

"khhh..."

Parrying Kevin's sword, one of the black-clad individuals signaled to the other two people to attack at the same time.

Noticing their sign, Kevin forcefully twisted his body and defended against two attacks coming from his left and right side.
