Chapter 114: The Price of Slaughter (1) Part 2
“Honey?”
“Anna! Are you okay…”
“Watch out, honey!”
Before I finished my words of concern for Anna, she shouted at me.
She was warning me of something.
Right after her voice ended, a black sphere flew past my ear.
I widened my eyes at the sight I had never seen before.
The black sphere exploded as soon as it hit the wall.
Boom!
The pillar that touched the sphere turned black and rotted.
I saw the magic flying in front of me and asked Anna.
“What the hell is this?”
“I barely managed to save our lives, but we’re lucky.”
As soon as my voice of doubt ended.
A man emerged from behind the curtain where Anna was leaning.
He was wearing a robe and holding a black sphere in his hand.
When I faced the man who appeared behind Anna, I realized he was a black mage.
He was not like the inquisitors I was wary of.
He was the black mage that the inquisitors were after.
I tried to overcome the fear that surged in my chest as I faced the black mage.
“What do you want from our house?”
The black mage in front of me had tried to subdue me, not kill me.
If I could talk to him, I might be able to send him away without any trouble.
That’s why I chose to talk to the black mage.
I wanted to persuade him and save Anna.
“I need more sacrifices. There’s a guy who runs a big farm in this village.”
“Are you only after the livestock? I heard that black mages don’t hesitate to sacrifice humans…”
“The demon I contracted is greedy. He won’t be satisfied with just a few humans.”
“That’s… a relief, I guess.”
“So lead me to your farm. I’ll spare this woman if you do.”
Zzzz.
The black mage brought the black sphere in his hand closer to Anna as he spoke.
I finally understood his purpose from his words.
He still kept Anna alive, which meant he had something to do with me and my farm.
He wanted to use the countless livestock on my farm as sacrifices for his black magic.
I thought of my farm as I saw the black mage threatening me with Anna.
“…”
It was the farm that I had worked hard for all my life.
If I lost the livestock on my farm, it would mean that everything I had done was gone.
But even that farm was not more valuable than Anna.
I could sacrifice the livestock on my farm for Anna.
I made up my mind and nodded at the black mage.
“Fine. Follow me.”
