Chapter 254: Slain The Evils (1/2)
The city was terrorized by the heads of the Royal Knight and the Guardian Knights. The Church or even the City Lord could no longer suppress the issue as rumors spread around the city.
The head being thrown to the crowd was enough to scare the people, but it has to be the Royal Knight and the Guardian Knight. What did it mean? The City Lord and The Church force could not catch the perpetrator.
The perpetrator was so strong that even the Royal Knight and the Guardian Knight were killed. The atmosphere was getting worse as days went by.
The perpetrator was still free outside the city, throwing the heads to the city. In the last three days, they had been hearing the battle of magic in the sky. The mages tried to explode the head in the air but they always failed. The lightning kept countering the fireball from afar.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The booming sound of the fireballs being exploded filled the sky. The common folk looked worried when the battle ensued, they kept looking to the sky to make sure the spell did not hit them.
Meanwhile, Waskin Adventurer Guilds
The first-floor hall was crowded as usual. The booming sounds no longer bothered them as they discussed another matter, but not a little who talked about the issue.
”It starts again, it will be a while before they will stop,” an adventurer voiced out his frustration.
While the Adventurer Guild announced Tang Shaoyang and his party were criminals, the guild did not send their force to capture them. The guild just kicked them out of the guild and revoked their license as an adventurer. So the adventurer never bothered to join with the City Lord and the Church to catch the criminal.
”Haven't you heard it? The Church and the City Lord issued a quest collectively. The quest is to catch Tang Shaoyang and his party alive, and they don't hesitate with the reward,” the friend of the frustrated adventurer spoke up. He wore a red robe, and he was holding a staff in his right hand. From his attire, the man was a mage.
The frustrated adventurer was an archer, he was in fact, the leader of the party that consisted of seven people. Their party rank was platinum and the archer himself was a Platinum Rank Adventurer, ”What's the reward?” The archer asked his friend.
”Great Blessing and ten Emerald Cards!” The mage replied, his eyes filled with greed the moment he mentioned Greater Blessing. One Emerald Card worth a thousand platinum coins, which meant the reward was ten thousand platinum coins. Not only they would get rich, but they also could get the blessing people dreamed of.
”Nah, you guys can form your party by yourself to accept the quest if you want to, I don't want to get involved with this shit,” the archer waved his hand while slumping his head down to the table.
”But why? This is our chance to make it big!” The warrior in the party could not help but question their leader.
”You have to be alive to enjoy that, do you think we can catch that monster alive? Even the Royal Knight and the Guardian Knight can't capture him, do you think we can?” The archer was not easily blinded by greed.
”The quest is indeed to capture them alive,” the female cleric agreed with her leader.
”Right? Haven't you seen him fight? He easily beat two Platinum Rank Adventurers and also…” the archer scanned the surroundings, making sure no one could hear him, ”I heard a rumor said Tang who defeated Deril, and Murie also killed a Templar Knight and Grand Royal Knight,” he informed his party members.
”That's just a rumor, you can't believe in the rumor, right?” The mage was not convinced by his leader.
”That's indeed a rumor, and if it was before those heads being thrown into the city, I will not believe such rumors as well,” the archer nodded his head, ”but after the head terror, I am inclined more to the rumor being true. In the last three days, over a hundred heads are being thrown. You can fill the hidden story by yourself, but let me remind you, that man is capable enough to take down over a hundred of the Royal Knight and Guardian Knight, do you think he could not defeat Templar Knight and Grand Royal Knight? On top of that, he still has his party member.”
