Chapter 314 - The Battlefields And Pain. (1/2)

His blood spurted before his body was engulfed and devoured by the man's shadow. Yet it wasn't over. Dark swords were formed above the shadow, before piercing it like some sort of killer coffin, finishing his already finished body off.

As this happened, the man clicked his tongue.

There was nothing the man could do, he couldn't even scream. Not even a trace of blood was left behind as this happened, nothing. The body just disappeared into the man's shadow.

The adventurers were speechless. Their eyes widened as they let out quick and heavy pants was no point in giving them any attention. They were petrified, completely petrified from fear. They couldn't even breathe properly without feeling a strange pain in their c.h.e.s.t.

”M-M-M-M-Monster…!”

”That's not a h-human… That's… THAT'S A DEMON!”

With the little voice in their paralyzed from fear bodies, they shouted with everything they had.

”Correct!” Said the man as he turned to them

*Pierce* *Spurt*

In that instant, they were pierced straight in the neck by dark swords formed out of thin air. On contact, the sword turned into a shadow which engulfed them, once again, putting them in the position to be devoured. All in a few seconds.

”I wish that you humans could be a little more quiet… Can't have him, knowing that I'm here.” He said with a smile

He then appeared beside the shadow comb which engulfed their bodies and soon after it was forcefully dragged into his shadow.

”Well then, on to the next spot.” He muttered before he disappeared into his own shadow.

———————————————————

The guild master arrived at the scene, leaving behind a trail of ice. Only to stop at the sight in front of him.

”T-The Guild's Master's here!” Shouted an adventurer who was on his knees with joy

”F-Finally…!”

”T-Thank god…” Another adventurer muttered before collapsing

Blood. Everywhere. Bodies which were torn to shreds, decapitated heads lying around. The entire snow was once again, dyed in a crimson red. The blood seemed to have no end as part of it continued to flow and eventually landed on the Guild Master's Leg before being frozen off.

There were less than ten adventurers still standing.

As the guild master saw this, he felt his heart sink. His eyes widened and his hands began shaking. He was speechless to his core. But it wasn't because of fear.

”Sorry I'm late… You've all done well, protecting the village. I'll make sure to inform your families and don't worry about the rewards, You all deserve it. All of you…” The guild master muttered as he hung his head.

*ROOAAAAAAAAAR*

Following the Guild Master's speech, a loud and powerful roar resounded thought the area, it was directed at the adventurers and paralyzed them with fear. They were in front of the village gates, and there stood a large, over ten feet tall monster, heavily geared in a strange dark Armour.

The guild master turned over to the monster while gritting his teeth. An expression full of anger was displayed all over his face as he glared with hateful eyes at it.
