A man that he wanted to defeat. But he knew that he was still far from being ready to face him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon stepped out of the door and came face-to-face with several dozen police officers, who were pointing their interesting-looking pointy weapons at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These weapons are called Pointers, aren’t they? Basically spears, but with shorter shafts for more close-range combat situations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t his first time seeing these weapons, and it looked like it was the main weapon of the Cliffside Yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the police officers killed by Seonwoo Kim also used them, but most of them were still in the possession of swords also.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Surrender now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mayor said with a grave expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am curious.

However, that giant woman will never see daylight again for murdering all these officers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mayor screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A permanent jail sentence? Wow, that’s harsh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon laughed, but then his smile dropped, and he put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and the police officers flinched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those officers aren’t even real. Just some useless code. Like the rest of you, none of you are real!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The police officers frowned, insulted by his words, as, in their minds, they were as real as the player in front of them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re all already dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon smiled, and he put his hand away from the sword hilt, and the police officers looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their throats were slit open, and it started gushing with blood, staining their uniforms as they fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mayor placed his hand in front of his throat, and out of nowhere, his fingers were sliced off his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his throat was fine, but that was small happiness, as his fingers were long gone now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you managed to sense that?
