72 Rufus and Irene. (1/2)

”Kill everyone.”

Everyone on the battlefield at this moment was either dead or exhausted, and they could not even stand straight without stumbling.

So when they heard Ozul's ruthless cold orders, everyone began to panic. This kid had killed a Rank-8 Mage without even batting an eye, how would they be able to escape?

Before they could even look around themselves for an escape route, Raven and Blaze rushed towards the weaker bunch.

They did not question his orders, but they were also affected by the Monster's earlier 'attacks'. So they could only go against the weaker bunch.

Ozul had wanted to kill all the witnesses because if the word of him coming out alive out of a Rank-10 existence leaks out, many unwanted parties will start to annoy him.

Moreover, the survivors comprised of two parties. The 1st group belonged to Eclipse's Order's remnants, while the other was the loyal men of Duke Edwin.

Everyone present on the scene had done one atrocity or another. But even if they were innocents, Ozul wouldn't think twice about his decision.

Raven and Blaze just needed to take care of the people most in a half-dead state. While Ozul seemingly only walked through the masses.

However, just like Duke Edwin, all the people that were near him had their heads sliced off!

No one was able to see the black blades due to the attack speed! How could they, when even Edwin, a Rank-8 Mage, was not able to see it?!

In a matter of minutes, all the people on the scene were dead.

Though just as Ozul and the duo were about to leave, Ozul sensed the presence rushing towards them from the other side.

He did not want to bother with this new individual since he was already exhausted after the previous series of events. It would only be a bother to deal with another nuisance.

However, just as he was about to leave;

”Halt your steps!”

Raven and Blaze had recovered a bit more after drinking those 'health potions'. So when they heard the loud voice, both quickly turned around thinking that they might have missed someone.

Ozul sighed but still chose to turn around. The new individual had already noticed them, and it would only get annoying later on if he just left like that.

Raven and Blaze stood before Ozul when they faced the new individual.

They saw from the trees came out an old man with shiny red hair followed by a girl who also had long red hair. Both the individuals wore a silver-plated armor even though they seemed to be Mages.

The trio did not make a move and just kept staring at the new arrivals. When the old man swept his gaze to the battlefield, he was shocked out of his mind.

How could he not when he saw all the dead bodies? Hundreds of children's bodies lay lifeless on one side while there were tens of adult's corpses on the other.

What had happened at this place!? He could not figure out, but just then, the girl following behind him puked.

She could not take in the scene in front of her eyes. She had seen many battles, had killed people too, but it was her first time to see such a grim display.

The old man did not turn around to help the girl since it was her experience. She would have to get used to it.
