Unhurriedly walking within the wilderness was a man that seemed to be in his thirties. A monocle with silver wire was donned on his right eye. On his grip was a walking cane, with the tip of it in the shape of the head of a golden eagle.
Five azure flames were flying around him and illuminated his path. Sometimes, the flames would flicker as they followed on both sides. He wore an uniform robe which was adjourned with platinum plating medals on his left chest. Behind him, two lines of wizards slowly accompanied him. Not too fast or too slow, and they would always be mindful to have eight meters distance with him.
Meanwhile, many more wizards were teleporting amidst the Trees branches to chase their newest targets. A group of elves that appeared to be scouts. Since they appeared around this place, there must be other elves
The moment the bone spear had pierced its flesh, unbearable pain surged within and it felt an indescribable sense of heaviness, as if it had been thrown into a deep swamp, unable to move even for an inch.Trying to suppress the urge to growl in pain, Edmurd glared at the sudden appearance of a human in uniform. A single glance to his chest, the insignia of the Sacred Heart had told Edmurd where this human came from. However, it seems that the man predicted it's movement by targeting the weak elves' children.Not to mention, the girl who held it's oath was among these children, so there wouldn't be any second thoughts for it. Edmurd faced all of the attacks head on, but the last one was something that it didn't anticipate.Not all of the artifacts would have the a
"Looks like I've saved you this time, Guardian."Didn't wish to chase the retreating middle aged man, Aaron glanced at the giant python and summoned a ball of blood. Then, he shaped the blood into a javelin before he threw it as fast as he could, right at the center of the photon's head.The sound of something breaking ensued and the python screamed in agony as the flames that made its body became smaller. Still, they didn't relax and turned their whole attention to the middle aged man instead."Arcnaghur…" finding that the one who butting in was Aaron, the middle aged man became more interested and less angry. Straightening his robe, the man walked on top of thin air. He stared at both of them before he turned to Aaron and spoke.<
Observing from afar, Elizabeth covered her mouth while opening her eyes wide. The situation on the battlefield between Aaron and the middle aged man was far from good. Not to mention, fear slithered into her heart when her gaze fell to the bone warriors.Faintly, she could hear dying screams coming out of them. But as she focused her attention to the sound, only silence greeted her. An uncomfortable feeling stirred within and she felt slightly restless. For a second, she thought her ears were playing tricks on her before the notion of ghosts and spirits came to her mind."...This is nuts.."Aside from Aaron, there was another matter with Edmurd and the humongous skeletal giant. In the opposite direction, the rangers were fighting against an army of wizards. On he
'I guess his title wasn't for nothing.'Watching how Aaron broke the skeletal warriors one by one with his scarlet club, the middle aged man clicked his tongue as he meditated at the branches above. Sweats drenched the back of his robe and forehead while he observed the battlefield. Though he managed to deal with Edmurd by himself, as he had expected, Aaron's appearance threw a wrench to his plan and made him expend more unnecessary energy.'Should I retreat for now?'Perhaps if he could help his subordinates and those cannon fodders from before, then he could use the advantage of numbers to overwhelm both of them. However, under the premise both of them would still stay around and wait for him. There was no way they would let him massacre the elves' rangers.&nbs
'Is that necklace the reason why I had that feeling before?'Looking at the slightly frightened, yet serious face of the girl, the man gnashed his teeth. The girl dared to ask him questions instead of replying to him. Not to mention, she was lost in thought when he was standing before her, wanting to capture her. How could someone be so careless like that?'There's no trace of illusion magic, so she's a she. Not some kind of trick to change one's appearance.'After all, wizard was something that only consisted of male gender. A female in their Sacred Heart organization was simply impossible. Then, there were only two other possibilities.'Either she got it from her family, which her father's
When the shout vibrated through the entire area, all of the elves' attention was drawn, especially after a particular crying sound that followed."Nooo!"It was a child's cries, which tell the pain of the kid for anyone who heard it. Then, they saw how a young boy around the age of five was being held with forcefully grabbing his hair to pick him up. A sharp dagger was flying in the air and moved on its own. With the slightest thought of the kidnapper, the flying dagger would peel yet another skin of the boy and make him cry more louder.The kidnapper was a middle aged human whose face was fully known by the wizards. When they saw his figure, most of them halted their movements and silently waited for the man. It was as if they were all plunged into horrifying nightmares, something that wished to wake up from when they heard the dying throes of a little girl. Since they weren't that many, many of them knew others at some point. As such, the reality before them was too cruel for them to see, with half of the rangers filled with rage and hatred.The worst of them was the big brother of the young girl. It's as if he saw the sky crashing down to him, his gaze almost devoid of life. He wanted to move, to rush forward and mutilate the human who dared to do that. Yet, he found out his boundless anger and strength from before had dissipated the second he found that little body falling to the ground, breathing her last while her face was covered in bloody wounds."Another one."Dark Eater Chapter 156 - Rage
'In the end, I've to do something for those rangers.'His hostage plan might have been thwarted and resulted in elves to be more motivated and driven to go attack the wizards. However, the middle aged man couldn't stay quiet anymore and decided to enter the battle as well.'First, cut the heads before breaking down the body.'He had memorized some of the rangers that looked to be the leader of a team. As long as he killed all of these rangers, it would be harder for the rangers to coordinate with each other and their formation would soon crumble.Without dallying any longer, he tapped the edge of his cane and a runic language flowed out of his lips. Then, his figure became transparent and fin
