Chapter 247 - Chapter 247: Chapter 237: "Bird Expeller" The Power of Consecution and Darrens Return (2/2)

Suddenly, a person appeared and saved his life.

However, that was all – he was merely saved from death.

The woman couldn’t interfere with the war because of the church’s lack of authority, and still handed him over to the Rhea army, after which Darren was imprisoned for an entire half-year.

After the war ended, just before the exchange of prisoners of war between both sides, he escaped all on his own.

“I don’t know what the family has turned into now, if they can still recognize me as I am…”

Darren took a deep breath and then fell into a heavy sleep at the back of the carriage.

“Humph.”

After some time, the carriage came to a quiet stop, and the driver in front, with a very cold expression, turned and coldly snorted at Darren lying at the back of the carriage.

“I’ve finally waited for you, bloodline of the Fischer family, Darren Fischer; I’ll make you a sacrificial offering to the gods!”

He was a follower of the Stars Embrace Order, though not dressed in the Order’s garb, but in fact, he had joined the Stars Embrace Order for more than twenty years. By killing Darren Fischer, he would have a chance to advance to Transmutation!

“The great constellations have issued a supreme oracle that every bloodline of the Fischers must be sacrificed to Him.”

“The Fischer family is destined for destruction!”

“You will be the first!”

The carriage driver cautiously approached, drew out his knife, and stabbed ferociously. The next moment, the cold blade passed through without any sensation of touching flesh or blood.

He was momentarily shocked, then heard the Iron Mask Man’s chuckling voice come out.

“So our family has caught your attention, sounds interesting, at least it makes things lively again.”

“Why didn’t you die?”

The carriage driver stared at the Iron Mask Man lying above him, utterly stunned.

Darren laughed out loud and then suddenly pressed his hand on the carriage driver’s face, igniting flames that rose high, causing the driver to wail as his entire face was scorched by the searing fire.

“Aaaaaagh! Aaaaagh!”

“Hahahahaha!”

Darren burst into manic laughter as he saw several more followers of the Stars Embrace Order approaching, seeming to enclose him gradually.

“Good, good! The more who come, the better!”

The next moment, Darren ethereally extended one hand into the driver’s body, then extracted a blood-drenched spine with a nearly insane yank to use it as a weapon.

“Hahahahaha! Come at me, all of you!”

Darren sneered, brandishing the spine as a weapon at the slowly approaching followers of the Stars Embrace Order, who stood there agape with fear, unable to move.

A few days later.

At Nasir Town, in front of Fischer Manor, stood a carriage reeking of corpses.

Darren, covered in burn scars, removed his Iron Mask and sat at the back of the carriage, a bone still in his mouth, gazing at his family’s manor.

He was finally back.

“May I ask who you are… Aaaaagh!”

“Quick, get someone! There’s a monster!”

The servants who came to the manor gates were greeted by his terrifying, fierce countenance and the horrid pile of corpses in the carriage, prompting them to panic.

Darren remained calm, silently waiting for his family to arrive.

As the doors of the residence opened, a woman in a black robe came out and was immediately moved to tears upon seeing Darren, unable to control herself.

“Darren!”

Lilian rushed up without hesitation and embraced her brother, Covered in the stench of blood and gore and marked with burn scars, she was overwhelmed with emotion, and warm tears flowed down her cheeks.

“You’re finally back, I missed you so much, it’s great, Darren, it’s good you’re back!”

Darren inhaled deeply and smiled for the first time in years as he felt a true sense of relaxation.

He hugged his younger sister tightly in return.

“Yeah, I’m back.”
