Chapter 573 (1/2)

As the days went by, the number of Isis members that Sui Xiong had killed grew ever more.

One morning, he pulled out the list of names again and was just thinking to himself that he should capture and kill them in order of rank. Suddenly, he realized that the highest-ranking one on the list was no more than a viscount.

A viscount was still nobility, of course, nobility with very high status and rank. But as far as the enormous Orc Empire or the Isis members were concerned, that rank wasn’t worth much respect.

This viscount was the head of a region belonging to Isis, but if one were to lower their standards, a viscount would still count as a big fish. But as far as Sui Xiong—who’d killed the organization’s leader—was concerned, they really didn’t amount to anything.

He inwardly let out a sigh and moved on down the list of names.

If he kept on killing for another two days, there’d be pretty much nothing but commoners left to kill.

Of course, a good chunk of the civilian members of Isis was full of evil as well, so not sparing them wouldn’t cause any indignation. But to run all the way out to the capital of the Orc Empire and occupy a big public square downtown, just to kill a bunch of common criminals…

Sui Xiong felt that was somewhat undignified.

Maybe I should consider changing locations, like a big open space on the outskirts of town for example, and then get back to killing them slowly…

He didn’t stop his actions as he thought. In any case, he could still kill for another two days and then consider it again.

Time passed quickly; two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Once Sui Xiong had confirmed there were, in fact, no nobles left for him to kill, he took his troops with him and left the Golden Tent. All they left behind was a patch of blood-soaked earth and a thickly coagulated, bloody “pond.”

This time, he’d killed for half a month. That was much more than usual.

After they left the Golden Tent, Sui Xiong didn’t follow his original idea of picking a random place to start killing but instead continued heading east with his troops.

He’d changed plans.

Since he’d already passed through half the Orc Empire, why not pass through the other half and cross straight through the country?

Plus, the people of the eastern Orc Empire should get a chance to see the Guillotine Blade he’d put so much effort into making. They should also get an up-close look at that group of elite executioners who’d perfected their art through chopping thousands of heads!

Yes, due to the good fortune of having to kill all those Isis members these past few days, the executioners Sui Xiong had brought out this time had raised their skill level by leaps and bounds. If one were to evaluate them based on the “job level” system that Sui Xiong had originally created, this would be the result: When they left the Republic, the highest-level executioner hadn’t been more than level 3 or 4, but now, the lowest was at least level 19.

Actually, these executioners were all level 19, all of them stuck at the threshold between the advanced level and the advanced legendary peak.

To cross this threshold, you needed to find your own legendary path. But could they find a demonic legendary path? One that would make them into the most outstanding executioners who could kill off all the villains on this earth?

In fact, an executioner really had been planning to walk a path like that, but Sui Xiong had dissuaded him.

This might have looked like a nice path to take, but the truth was it was full of problems. All else aside, just the problem of “what to do when faced with evil” would have been enough of a headache.

Every god had Sacred Warriors among their troops, and among the Sacred Warriors of some kind-hearted gods were those determined to stand against evil, unwilling to compromise as long as there were still battles to be fought. This wasn’t a bad goal to have, but as long as a Sacred Warrior held this as their life’s dream, the possibility of their being able to reach the Legendary Realm was incredibly low.
