Klaus could not hide the shock on his face. Of all the imaginations that had come into his head, he had not expected Vincent to kill his own men.
Not only was Klaus surprised, but Joanna also felt the same way. The blonde-haired girl frowned as she tended to Hugo.
Of course, Klaus did not immediately swallow what Hugo said. There must be an explanation behind this abnormal situation. No matter how bad a leader was, they would not kill their men when they were in battle.
"I don't know Vincent or am close to him. But I'm sure a leader of the top five guilds in the US would do that."
"Yup, you're right," Hugo replied. "He's a jerk but not a madman. He's under the influence of magical powers, I guess."
Naturally, Klaus raised one eyebrow.
Hugo took a deep breath before he started to tell the chronology. His face darkened, implying his horrible memories.
"We wandered through this castle for several days. We got lost and kept going in circles. I had advised Vincent to cancel the raid, but he insisted. Thanks to his stubbornness, we managed to find the alpha."
After exhausting and mentally draining exploration, they reached a gate with unique carvings. Inside was a large chamber like a soccer field with giant pillars supporting the ceiling.
They were stunned to see the interior of the chamber. Besides being spacious, almost every side of the room was black marble. However, the chamber's charm did not captivate them for long when a giant snake appeared.
When they saw the monster, they immediately knew that the lord of this castle was a Wyrm—one of the species of monsters still descended from dragons.
Hugo said the wyrm appeared from the side of the room, stalking them with a predatory gaze. Its size was large and long, like a train. The wyrm had black scales and crescent-like eyes. With its tongue hanging out, the wyrm looked at Vincent's group like it was prey.
The awakeners felt tremendous pressure—a pressure they were used to when facing an alpha.
However, the horror of the monster was not enough to stop Vincent.
The title of S-Class was more than just a name. Vincent was fearless. He threw himself first, initiating the battle.
The blond man fought bravely and was able to organize his men well. He fought aggressively and willingly became a decoy so that the awakeners could land attacks on the monster.
With his [Gravity Manipulation] talent, he could render a legendary wyrm helpless against a group of humans.
"Vincent, that bastard is insane. Regardless of how much of an asshole he is, I must admit he is a great war general. We cornered the wyrm and managed to inflict deep wounds on its body. We almost won."
However, the flow of battle changed when it came at the last second.
The wyrm was severely injured. Its entire body was riddled with elemental damage and slash wounds. The slithering monster was just waiting to receive the final blow before death. And Vincent saw his chance.
He jumped on the monster's head to drive his spear into its skull.
As Vincent raised his spear, he suddenly froze. He didn't move an inch as if something had changed his mind. At that moment, Hugo realized that something wrong happened.
Vincent canceled, plunging the spear into the wyrm's head, and turned to his men. His eyes were red, and his expression portrayed hatred. Then, he used [Gravity Manipulation], making about 2000 bend the knee on the floor. Hugo was no exception.
And a tragedy occurred.
Vincent jumped off the wyrm head and slaughtered his men like cattle. They could do nothing but scream. Their feet and hands were stuck on the ledge as gravity pulled on their bodies, stopping their mobility. In less than ten minutes, Vincent had killed nearly a quarter of his men. And even worse, the wyrm was still savage despite the wounds all over its body.
Hugo was moved. He offered himself as bait to distract the two monsters from killing his men and buy time for them to escape.
"It was really like hell. Screams and madness echoed in the air. I did what I could do. I distracted the enemy, buying time for my men to escape. And at the last minute, I smashed a pillar and crushed them with rubble. And I was direct."
Hugo hissed as the story ended. Regret and shame were written all over his face. Even if this man was a supporter, he was still a guild master. He failed to save his men and got lost in this dungeon.
Joanna, listening to his story, stroked his hand to equalize him. Meanwhile, Klaus was just the opposite.
He had a flat expression and looked at Hugo with a skeptical gaze. He needed to confirm the truth before believing the tragic story.
"Laplace, did you see something that man was hiding?" Klaus muttered
