Chapter 226 The Destroyer [Pt 1]
"Haaa... haaa..."
Blood. Gore. Brutalized human meat that felt downright despicable.
... It felt wrong.
As Asher heaved heavy sighs, his eyes occupied with the several blurs of red that danced in his eyes, he tried his best to find survivors.
There were none.
Everyone in the burning building had been cooked to an overwhelmingly fine degree. Some had whole bodies, and some had chopped-up ones.
In the end, they were made equal in death.
Asher struggled to make it through the flames, thanking his Enchanted Cloak for the heat resistance and durability additions that it provided. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
If not for it, as well as his other Enchanted Items, he would have been cooked as well.
The central manor of the Jaune Councilor had several areas, but Asher was focused on only one.
The man—Lord Jaune's—office itself.
'There's not much use for a man who has lost his resources, but a Councilor is still a Councilor...'
With this line of thought, Asher navigated his way through the building's flames and made his way into the place.
Unfortunately for this, when he arrived in Lord Jaune's office...
"My God."
... The man's diced up flesh was arranged to form a corpse on the wall, and flames slowly burned through it.
An aroma of cooked meat filled the room, different from the choking and unbearable atmosphere outside.
Once Asher saw this, he knew he had struggled for nothing.
'He's dead.'
With the Councilor dead, there was no longer any need to be here.
'This merciless execution... it could have only been the Mercenary Gang.' Asher's suspicions were now confirmed.
Were they hired by Scylla and her forces? Have they completely gone over to their side?
As Asher had these thoughts, he moved closer to the corpse; perhaps to find a clue about what had happened before his arrival.
Then—
"I wasn't expecting any guests today..."
A voice appeared from behind Asher. However, the moment he turned to look, an explosion of flames rushed towards him.
It felt like a floodgate had been opened, and the overwhelming burst of fire charged in his direction.
~WHOOSH!~
Utilizing his Passive [Quick Casting] Skill and [Basic Elemental Affinity] Skills, he swiftly utilized Wind Magic to shroud himself and jump out of the building.
~BOOOOOOMMM!!!~
Asher's eyes darted to the left and right as he searched for his subordinates.
Once he spotted them, he would give his signal, and they would all retreat as fast as they possibly could.
'We might lose some people, but I'll make sure as many members of the Group survive!'
The Members of the KariBlanc Group were what made up the group.
Without them, the leader was nothing.
That was one of the first lessons that his father taught him, and even till this moment, it remained an essential part of his life.
"I do mind, though. You are right in front of me now, so why don't I simply strike you down where you are?" Anukus shrugged.
It was clear that he simply desired bloodshed.
'I don't want to play this card, but it seems I have no choice...' Asher sighed internally.
"I am an important person from the KariBlnc Group, and Lord Blanc won't be pleased if he finds me missing or killed by the Mercenary Group."
"Hm...?" Anukus tilted his head, as if in slight confusion.
"You were contracted to eliminate the Jaune Group, so I understand that. But I do not think I was part of your execution contract. Making an independent action against me will have—"
"You said you're from the KariBlanc Group, right? Led by Blanc, who isn't in Scylla's New Order... right?"
The air suddenly grew heavy as Anukus asked the question.
Asher felt like any answer he gave at the moment would be wrong.
"It seems you don't know yet, so let me spell it out for you, kid." The man's grin widened, and his face seemed to morph into something ugly and malevolent.
"There is no contract, and there is no rule or code of conduct that stops me from eliminating you. The Mercenary Gang had allied itself with Scylla and her New Order, which means you lot are the enemy!"
Asher's heart began to beat rapidly. He had suspected this, but he always hoped it was just him overthinking.
'No... no! If that's the case, then...'
"Once we're done with Jaune and Verte, who do you think is next?!"
As Anukus raised an eyebrow and grinned intensely, Asher could feel a weight rest upon him.
"Your side is doomed already. You already lost!"
As those words echoed in his ears, Asher felt his heart sink.
This was indeed the worst case scenario.
