59 Ill Take Care Of It (2/2)

The flow of time returned to normal and the fire attack had disappeared. Before the a.s.sailants could react, Arima had already disappeared, leaving lightning at his original place, they looked around hurriedly and then felt something warm on their neck, when they put their hands on it, they saw blood, tainting their fingers. That was their last sight, before they fell to the ground and died beheaded.

Arima reappeared at his original place with Karma, which he sheathed and called back. The man who watched the whole scene unfold was already shocked beyond words and imagination. But it wasn't the end of it.

Arima crouched down and put his hand on the ground, a circle encompa.s.sed the entire plaza and the temperature rose for some reason.

”[Abstulit haec animas pauperum inferos] (Take back these poor souls from h.e.l.l)” Arima chanted and the sky lit up with a big orange fire, pure and beautiful. Everyone in a ten miles radius was attracted by the sight.

”[Venite Phoenix] (Come, Phoenix)” The orange flame took the form of a magnificent bird and started singing. Everything that was inside the circle began to lit up with an orange flame, but that fire didn't hurt or burn. It was just warm and enveloped everything.

At some point, the Phoenix shrieked and the flames grew in size instantly, they became brighter, until no one could see anything anymore.

It lasted for a good minute until it stopped. When the man from the royal family and Lanya opened their eyes, everything around them was repaired, every single damage caused by the fight was completely gone.

But there was something even more terrifying that had happened. The bodies laying on the ground of the plaza, some that should be totally dismembered or atomized, were totally restored and all of them moved and stood up. They looked around with a pale expression, when each of them realized that there was nothing wrong with their body, they all started crying in joy.

”…Impossible” The man uttered after he saw the what was happening, the he heard a loud gasp behind. He turned around, and a pale girl around eighteen years old, with pretty blue eyes and long blond hair, was standing by the carriage which had the door opened.

”Ofia!” The man shouted gently and approached her ”Why did you come out?” He asked while taking a chair from one of the plaza's stalls. He gave it to the girl for her to seat.

”Don't worry, Kyle. Things had calmed down, I was worried so I opened to see what was happening” Ofia sat down on the chair and said, she looked really weak ”Then I saw what happened” She said while looking at Arima who was not that far from them.

Kyle put himself in front of the girl and stared at Arima ”Who are you?” He tried his best to be stern but he knew that he couldn't protect Ofia at all if the man in front of him attacked. Not even defending, he would be dead in seconds without realizing how.

”Brother! Please stop, that person saved tens of thousands of our citizens, you should be respectful” His sister, apparently, stopped him. Kyle looked at her and sighed. In the end, he turned toward Arima one more time and bowed.

”Sorry, and thank you, I don't know who you are, but you really saved me from doing something I would regret for my entire life” He said

Arima smiled ”It's nothing much” He said and at the same time, Lanya arrived beside him and looked seriously at the situation ”By the way” Arima suddenly said and took out Ira, he aimed at a totally random-looking direction and fired. The bullet flew and landed on a single person in the crow that had woken up.

Ofia widened her eyes ”What are you doing?” She wanted to shout but stopped when she saw that the person who was aimed at, had caught the bullet in his hand.

The same person stared at Arima ”I'm sorry, but I don't want to fight you, could you let me go?” He said with an emotionless voice.

”Sure, go, don't do things like that in the future” Arima said, which surprised not only the two siblings but also Lanya.

”Thanks” The man said and disappeared from his position.

”…Who was that?” Kyle asked carefully, he knew he couldn't be forceful against Arima. He didn't want to put himself or her sister in risk.

Arima glanced at him ”That guy was most likely someone hired by the attackers, I instantly realized it by the tone of his voice. It sounded like he had nothing to with all of this. And also, if I fought him here, the city would really be destroyed” Arima said ”Consider yourself lucky that he didn't act first, or else you would have died in the first minutes” He added before turning around.

Kyle was shocked and froze because of the words he just heard.

”What's your name, please?” Ofia asked before Arima had left her sight.

Arima smirked ”Took you long enough” He said without turning around ”I'm Arimane Blade, shouldn't be that hard for you to find out about me. I'm also called the Kind Demon” He said and left with Lanya.

Ofia kept staring until Arima had left before breathing out ”Kyle, let's go back, we need to report to father quickly. I'm sure the guard is also already coming” She said to her brother soon after.

Kyle nodded ”Yeah, I didn't expect them to attack so daringly in town. Also, those who attacked, they looked like they didn't feel any emotion, it was almost scary” He said and looked at the corpses of the a.s.sailants. Arima had restored the bodies but of course, he didn't resurrect them, the reason was obvious.

”You're right, let's bring them back” Ofia said after she saw the corpses and then sighed ”I'd really want to know their motive” She said and returned inside the carriage along with her brother.
