295 Massacring the True Empire (1/2)
In the mountains, there was a handsome man with long hair in the midst of a pile of corpses that had been killed by himself.
Near that pile of corpses, there were some other corpses, but those were killed by the expressionless subordinates of the handsome man. The man looked like a human, but those expressionless subordinates had beast parts, half-beasts, which made the scene difficult to believe for those who didn't know the identity of the handsome man.
”Prince, all the traitors that the scroll shows in this area are already dead.”
A humanoid lizard neared the handsome man with a scroll on his hand; that was the same type of scroll Liye had given to Revgen and his army.
”Very well. Shirk, tell me where the next area is, I won't let anyone of those bastards alive. They schemed to conquer our kingdom and provoked a lot of problems for our people.”
The handsome man looked towards his expressionless guards that had turned into puppet-like beings due to the treason of the first prince back then.
That handsome man was Sebe, the crown prince of the Anpaes Kingdom. After obtaining the legacy of Anpaes, his power skyrocketed, and his training speed turned completely abnormal.
The legacy left for Anpaes was meant for his descendants, so it was much better than normal legacies that were left for anyone who had fate with them. Anpaes gave his all in that legacy provoking that Sebe changed from a genius in training to a real monster that defied any common sense.
At that moment, Sebe was already a 9-star Grandmaster, and his power was considered top-notch in the whole Anpaes Kingdom.
Some time ago, a Mysterious Expert appeared in front of Sebe and his father to tell them the truth about the treason of the first prince and the plans of the True Empire.
Hearing the truth had enraged Sebe and his father to the point that they wanted to go into a killing spree at the moment, but they also heard that there was a plan to eradicate them from the continent, so they decided to wait.
Moreover, Paku, Sebe's father, trusted the Mysterious Expert's words and didn't have even the slightest doubt about those words because that Mysterious Expert was the same who had acted as the backing of Yale back then. Giving Yale's true identity, that meant that the words of the Mysterious Expert were trustful despite the fact that Paku had never seen the true face or heard the true voice of that person.
Recently, that Mysterious Expert had given them one of the scrolls created by Liye, and they started the hunt of True Empire members.
There wasn't a lot of them on the Anpaes Kingdom, so it was difficult for Sebe to vent all his anger, but he took the lead of the extermination group and was the one killing the quickest.
It couldn't even be considered a battle since the ones in the Anpaes Kingdom were just weaklings compared to Sebe; it was just a one-sided massacre.
Although Shirk was in the group, he was without any doubt the weakest of all, but he was there to check the scroll and support Sebe instead of battling, so it wasn't too much problem.
However, he was only weak compared with Sebe and the expressionless guards because since his species had changed thanks to Yale's research, his training speed had increased a lot. Moreover, after Sebe had become the crown prince, he had taken good care of Shirk and turned him in his main guard and giving him all kind of resources for training.
Thus, he had already reached the 1-star Expert Rank, and although that was quite weak compared to others, for Shirk, who had felt almost impossible increasing his power previously, that was like a miracle.
Sebe continued his journey of killing any member of the True Empire that was left on his Kingdom while those who died at his hands suffered a fate even worse after their souls left their bodies.
With the legacy of Anpaes, Sebe had obtained a divine beast bloodline, and the divine beast from where that bloodline originated was the Soul Eater Sun Lion, which as the name indicated could eat souls.
Although Sebe never liked that capability of the bloodline as seemed too evil, against those traitors he decided that he would eat their souls even if he needed to have indigestion afterward for eating something in a bad state.
