144 Chapter 144: Symphony and Seraph (1/2)

Caesar hesitated a moment before slowly approaching the busy building. He hadn't thought that there would be so many trolls present, however, since they were in the middle of a war, it wasn't surprising that they sought sexual relief.

He jumped atop a building just parallel of his destination, it was somewhat ragged and didn't look as pristine as the other buildings. It was made of brittle wood, and Caesar could hear faint breathing from inside.

It didn't sound anything like a grown troll, but more so like a child. With these thoughts in mind, Caesar couldn't help but get flashbacks to the time he found Elizabeth, and soon, a strong curiosity assaulted him, and he stealthily walked through the entrance.

He pushed the flimsy tarps that covered the door-way aside and entered. The old wood creaked with every step and he soon arrived in what he assumed to be, the living-room. He glanced around and couldn't find anything noteworthy, until finally, he gazed upon what he had heard earlier.

Lying in the middle of the room, were two small figures snoring loudly whilst sharing a wide blanket. He couldn't see their faces vividly, as it was dark and they were sleeping in a weird angle, but he could easily discern that they were young children.

The one on the left was female, while the one on the right was male, presumably siblings. They shared no visible features to the trolls, and no matter how Caesar looked at it, they appeared to be either humans or some other kind of human-like race.

”Mmm, mom, are you back already?” the young girl asked lazily while lifting her upper body and rubbing her sleepy eyes. Her movement awoke the young lad to her side and he also stood to his feet.

They both silently observed the fluttering fabric in the doorway, and the only sounds that they could hear were the loud raindrops and occasional thunder. Confusion filled the eyes of the young lass as she looked around the room.

Caesar, who was in an inconspicuous corner, hiding within the dark, couldn't help but admire her instincts. He moved rather stealthily, yet he still awoke the young lass. This was, by no means, a coincidence.

”Sis, are you sure mum's back?” the young boy asked curiously, he appeared to be a few years younger than the girl. He had rare blue hair and yellow eyes, that were eye-catching, even within the dark.

”I know someone walked in here… mother taught me to always follow my gut feeling” the young girl replied with confidence and walked closer to where Caesar currently resided. She also had blue hair and yellow eyes, even at her age, it was clear that she would grow up to be a beauty.

Caesar calmly observed them for a few more moments before walking out and presenting himself. He still had his ominous mask on, and the two youngsters jumped up in fright at his appearance.

They didn't scream, but instead, shook fearfully… especially the young girl. They stayed like this for a few seconds, before finally, tears flowed down the lass's face and she begrudgingly opened up her thin lips.

”M-mother told me that you people wouldn't touch me until I was t-thirteen… she told me that she made a deal with you guys” she said while choking on her tears. Her eyes, however, betrayed the tears falling from her eyes.

Caesar could see that she was glancing at a sharp stick in the corner of the room while clutching her brothers hand tightly. He speculated that their mother was captured and that she formed some sort of deal with the trolls to keep them alive.

Suddenly, the young girl made a dash for the sharp stick while screaming at her brother, ”HURRY, RUN!” her courageous voice passed into Caesar's ears, and he couldn't help but feel impressed with this young girl who seemed to be only 11 years old.

Alas, her efforts were for naught. Caesar reached the young girl within a split second and softly knocked her unconscious. He didn't dally and did the same to her brother, and soon, both of their unconscious bodied rested on the ground.

Caesar feared the young girl's earlier scream attracted unwanted attention, thus, he quickly rushed out of the small house and charged at the 'sexual relief' building. His figure, which was no longer being concealed, almost instantaneously grabbed the attention of a few patrolling guards.

He took out the long scythe from his storage ring and quickly lobbed off the few guards' heads. His movements were quick and precise, and soon, a few blood-curdling screams echoed throughout the surroundings.

Caesar's scythe didn't seem to stop moving and a large amount of blood dyed his raven black clothes. His eyes radiated a deep crimson, that gleamed through the slits in his mask, further increasing the fear his current appearance generated.
