085. Execution (3)

Knock, knock!

With a short thud on the floor, Icarone’s new form disappeared. Although it was not yet able to control the wind mana, it seemed to be able to operate somewhat with just consciousness and wind. Icarone used the heads of the jiangshi as stepping stones and moved around the battlefield.

Before he knew it, Mircen had brought other nobles with him, and thousands of cavalry were seen marching forward, with Rachel and Rekil at his side.

“Thank you, thank you….”

“Get out of here quickly!”

The rescued people suppressed their fear and ran.

“Ah, aaaah-!”

On the other side, people are being torn off alive. There are screams and shrieks that are deafening, and this is hell on earth. We can save them now, but hundreds of people will die elsewhere in the meantime. As Cletin says, the only solution is to eliminate the cause as soon as possible.

Icarone whipped his brain.

‘Witch… … Where on earth could she be? Someone with the power to single-handedly move tens of thousands of troops, if it was the witch I saw in the cave back then, if it was that witch’s disposition… … .’

Icarone’s eyes shone sharply. At the end of his gaze, there was a crowd of people writhing in fear. Among the panicked people, the back of a girl who seemed strangely relaxed, her steps and atmosphere seemed as if she were alone in another world.

Icarone mercilessly extended his ear to her. The new form of Icarone, which was dozens of meters away, reached her in an instant as if it was being sucked into her. And just before the tip of the ear reached an inch below her slender shoulder line,

-Ting!

The sword was blocked with a sharp sound. In front of me was a witch with a wicked smile, holding the tip of the sword between her index and middle fingers. Although her attire was different, she was the same witch I had seen in the bloody cave.

She flicked her fingers along the side of the sword and opened her red lips.

“You found me so quickly? It’s been a while, Slayer.”

-Two-woong.

The movement was subtle, but the rebound was tremendous. It was irresistible.

Icarone turned his body in the direction the sword was deflected and swung his sword again.

-Phew!

Her figure disappeared like fog and blended back into the crowd. I’ve experienced this before, so it’s not surprising. I also know that even her seemingly invincible and mysterious actions aren’t invincible. The breakthrough is to launch an attack that surpasses her reaction speed.

-Hung!

The sword cut through the air again. At the same time, a blue light appeared on Icarone’s new form.

-Phuk!

“Cough!”

A low-pitched voice burst out. It was the groan of a middle-aged man whose chest had been pierced by Icarone’s sword. And then a stuffy voice was heard from behind.

“B, Blink? Uh, how…….”

Behind the middle-aged man, a witch is spurting crimson blood after being stabbed squarely in the heart. She made two mistakes.

The misconception that Icarone would not attack and harm ordinary citizens, and the lack of information that he had realized magic.

-Push!

As Icarone pulled out his sword, the middle-aged man vomited blood and fell forward, and the witch slowly turned to ash around that area. Strangely enough, the ash was shining silver, making the scene seem beautiful even in this situation.

“You, you, you…… insolent human being…….”

-Saaaaak!

The witch’s form completely disappeared in the wind. At the same time, the movement of everything stopped. Even Yatan, who had been rushing at Cletinho while breaking the gravity magic with his power, stopped moving. Tens of thousands of jiangshi stopped moving at once, and a quiet silence came over them as if it were a lie.

“hmm…….”

Icarone’s unknown exclamations began to flow.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Oh, what’s going on with these monsters?”

“Aren’t you going to attack now?”

“Oh, mother…… oh……”

It took some time for people to figure out what was going on.

In a very tragic scene.

Instead of joy over liberation from hell, mourning for the dead poured out like a flood. Mourning and sobbing were rampant everywhere. Hundreds of thousands died at the cruel hands of the ghouls. The blood they shed flowed like rivers all over the kingdom. It was the day when the worst history of the Berion Kingdom was written.

Icarone lowered his head and stared blankly at the middle-aged man who had fallen. He extended two fingers and placed them under his left jaw. Although weak, he was still alive. Well, his heart, lungs, and other organs were not damaged, so there was no reason for him to die other than excessive bleeding.

Icarone laid him down and placed his hand on the wound. Then, a grayish light appeared on Icarone’s hand and the middle-aged man’s wound.

‘Um… …is this how it’s done?’

Ierie wove her bio-mana while recalling the feeling of her wounds being healed. Since she had connected to the place where the flow of mana was the strongest, which was presumed to be the blood vessels, there shouldn’t be any major problems. After finishing the treatment for about five minutes, Ikarone stood up and absentmindedly looked at the place where the witch had been.

They say that the old named ones have mana stones, but this witch disappeared like smoke, leaving only ash behind. No, something sparkling on the floor was visible.

“after.”

When I brushed away the ashes, I found a necklace with a black jewel in it. The silver strings that looked like mithril were shining luxuriously. Mana flowed out delicately.

While all Mana Stones are blue, Icarone wondered about this unidentified gem that was black, so he tried blowing mana into it. A gray haze-like thing in the center spun slightly and then stopped. After that, nothing happened. He put it in his coat pocket.

Judging from the fact that they were shaking in place and making ‘kurur’ sounds, the skeletons were not dead. The chain of command had simply been cut off, and the wizards and soldiers were quickly getting rid of them by stabbing their hearts or burning them. This was because they were anxious that they might receive another order and move at any moment.

I saw Rachel comforting her friends as she held their bodies and cried. As I approached her, I suddenly felt a huge energy. I turned my head and saw Yatan running towards me, dragging his heavy body.

“omg!”

“Whoa!”

The ignorance of Yatan had already become a symbol of fear to the people. As he moved, the game started and the screams of those who were trembling with fear could be heard.

“That guy is annoying.”

Icarone calmly pulled out his sword and swung it at him without moving an inch from his spot.

-thud!

The tip of Icarone’s sword suddenly stopped. Yatan was kneeling on one knee and bowing his head to him. Anyone could see that it was the knight’s loyalty to his lord. Icarone felt doubtful. Among all these jiangshi, why was this one the only one moving and bowing to him? It meant that the manufacturing method was different from that of the other jiangshi. Then there could only be one reason for his current actions.

Icarone took out what he had put in his pocket.

“Is this the necklace…….”

People were whispering about Icarone and Yatan, but no one said anything directly. Just looking at them was scary and they wanted them to be eliminated quickly, but the ‘power’ that Icarone showed today made them feel so awe that they couldn’t even take a step closer or say a word.

Icarone also read their ominous gazes, but would he easily throw away the opportunity to gain an incredible escort knight that even he could not handle? This death knight was more valuable to him than relieving their fears.

“wake up.”

Yatan stood up from his seat, his black armor clanking. I wondered if he only followed one-dimensional orders or if he made his own decisions.

“Come at it.”

“Krrrr……”

He remains silent. He only spits out black smoke from his mouth. First, I have to restore that half-broken helmet and cover his face. His eyes were gouged out on his melted skin, and even Icarone looked at him with horror.

“I want to train to improve my skills. Come on.”

Only then did Yatan slowly raise his greatsword. It meant that he was judging orders precisely on the subject of corpses.

“Okay, stop.”

The people stared blankly at them. Icarone walked between them and reached Rachel. Then she held out one hand.

“Take it.”

“What about this necklace?”

Rachel suddenly wondered why he was giving her a necklace in such an inappropriate situation.

“Give me the order.”

“yes yes…….”

The quick-witted Rachel quickly realized the connection between this necklace and Icarone’s behavior just now, and nodded. She cautiously looked at Yatan’s face and swallowed hard. Although she had not seen the horror directly, the appearance alone was scary enough.

“Hey, Yatan…, come here.”

Yatan remained silent without making any movement. Icarone, who found this strange, continued speaking.

“Go to your master.”

Only then did he start to move. And it wasn’t Rachel with the necklace, but someone who was standing behind him like an escort.

Icarone then understood. It was one of two things. Either she would obey only the person who breathed mana into the necklace, or she would obey only the first person who was imprinted after her obedience factor was released.

Icarone stretched out his hand again and said to Rachel.

“Hand it over.”

“yes?”

“It is useless to you.”

“Given and taken away……. Pancreas…….”

Rachel felt a pang of sadness, even though she knew it. She was the first one to receive something that could be considered a gift from him, and she was happy regardless of the situation.

Icarone ignored Rachel, who was pouting. After all, there was no one else besides her who could use mana, and if he thought about it, there was no one who could stop Yatan if he went berserk. Only Cletino met the requirements, but there was no need to give him this enormous power.

Icarone put the necklace she received from Rachel around her neck without hesitation. Then, something strange happened. As soon as she put it on her neck, it seemed to have permeated her flesh and disappeared. Even if she tried to grab it or move it, she couldn’t feel it. It wasn’t just invisible, it had completely disappeared.

Come to think of it, the witch wasn’t wearing a necklace like this either. So does that mean she has to die to get it?

Icarone raised one corner of his mouth. It was an extreme but agreeable contractual relationship, as no one would steal the necklace and use it to control Yatan.

The day was declared a day of national mourning, as one-tenth of the capital’s population was lost. Count Friel was later found to have deep connections with witches, but his body was never found.
