Chapter 63 - Silent Night (3) (2/2)

Looking closer, he identified that all of the hostages had heavy wound inflicted upon them, almost as if they were driven to near death before surrendering. Even with such wounds, they were still the lucky ones, not everyone is alive.

”Senior guard, what is your name?” Simon whispered as he continued scouting.

”I am Lenn Darl, loyal guard of the mistress. I am at your service, all of these gang members will die under the fist of her bloodness.” The senior guard quietly answered as he took a peak at the scene at the garden.

”I spot one very well dressed one, he must be Ripper.” Simon quietly announced as he pointed at a gang member that wore colourful and extravagant furs on him. Wielding a heavy buster word on his back, the devil sported crimson horns, reminiscent of the blood he has spilt. With a terrifying reputation, no one had not heard of this man.

Ripper. The leader of an equally brutal gang. He is now here, killing nobles in their own homes. Very arrogant to the common person, only appearing to be a shameless murderer that killed for the sake of it, but this seemed all to different. Why did he take prisoners? Such a thing is unheard of in this situation. Usually Ripper would kill everyone, but now there are 10 surviving hostages, ”how intriguing...”

Simon shot a glance at Lenn, giving a gesture to scatter his men around the gathering of gang members. With this, the plan to kill Ripper had begun. All Simon had to do was kill a devil that could kill him 10,000 times over, such a task could be considered impossible for all but Simon. With a terrifying technique and the advantage of stealth and surprise, could anyone stop him? Probably, but he did not care.

”Jazukal, I hope you have tears of joy when you see this.”

SLASH

A blade of pure chaotic energy rushed forward and entered into a gang members neck, exiting through the other side. Instantly, the first devil fell.

A smile so terrifying that the moon could scream had just been birthed. Simon laughed, and the night turned silent.
