“It seems they are terrified, Mr.”
Seeing the thirty people leaving in the distance, Roxanne said in a half-joking tone. From his expression, it seemed to only consider the Imperial Phoenix so-so.
“They are just being careful,” Ark replied with a flat expression on his face.
“Indeed, Sir. The decision was indeed wiser than directly challenging with small amounts simply because they had a large background.”
“Whatever the enemy is weak, don't underestimate them. Those people could have been wiped out easily, but if underestimated .. it is not impossible that we might even experience a big loss because of them.”
“Eh?”
Hearing Ark's words, Roxanne looked puzzled. Just then, Ark's voice came back to his ears.
“They may be weak, but that does not mean they are not a threat to us.
Those big groups know this city better than we do. Although they cannot kill us directly, it does not mean they cannot trap us to get rid of us.
I know that strength brings confidence, even arrogance. So I'll take it.
This time, I will remind you. No matter how weak the enemy is, do not underestimate them. If you become an enemy, clean them up immediately. Do that if you don't want to suffer loss, or even death.
Pride will only lead you to misery. Do you remember it well?”
“Ya, Chairman!” answer everyone in unison.
Everyone looked towards Ark with respect, there was absolutely no resentment or dissatisfaction from getting such a warning.
What Ark said was a good thing for them. Therefore, they were not at all angry, even feeling grateful because their leader always came reminding and beating them if it almost deviated to the path of destruction.
Truly, a figure of a leader they admired and wanted to always follow to death!
***
Two days just passed.
Looking at the front and back courtyards of the mansion that had been cleared, Ark nodded lightly. There, there seemed to be many people who were training together.
Not only the outside, in these two days, the inside of the mansion had also become cleaner and neater compared to before.
‘Because this place is already habitable and people are getting used to it, let them relax for a moment before we get into the next plan. Meanwhile ...’
Ark glanced at the people practicing for a moment before turning around to leave. The young man took his black robe. He had also worn neat clothes complete with swords, daggers, and potions that were usually carried.
“Are you going, Mister?” ask Roxanne.
“Ya.” Ark nodded. “It won't be too long. While I'm gone, please take care of the Sword of Sufferings, Roxanne.”
“Good, Mr.”
Roxanne answered respectfully. Although curious what he wanted to do, he did not ask at all because he felt his duty was only accepting unconditional duty. The woman's loyalty to Ark goes without saying.
Whatever the young man did, Roxanne must have sided with him no matter which side was right or wrong. Because for him ... Ark is the truth.
Meanwhile, Ark who was walking away from the mansion started to disappear in the fog.
The young man directly used his camouflage ability. Taking out the wings on his back, he immediately flew in a certain direction with incredible speed.
It seemed that his goal was very clear as the young man went in a certain direction without slowing down in the slightest.
If one memorized the territory of large groups, they would definitely be aware of where Ark went.
Yes .... directly passed through the Cursed Berserkers territory heading to the border region between the group and the Golden Maple Group!
Looking at the scene in the distance, Ark raised the corner of his lips.
‘Quite interesting.’
The Ark instantly flew lower and landed onto the roof not far from where the battle took place.
On the side of the Golden Maple Group, there were 20 people. While on the side of the Cursed Berserkers, there were 30 people. Of the numbers alone, it appears who will win and who will lose. Not to mention, among the Golden Maple Group's patrol team, there was absolutely no strong figure.
‘Me.’
Without a hint of hesitation, Ark immediately jumped down onto the streets and appeared. Right then, the people who were fighting instantly turned their eyes towards him.
A mysterious man clad in black robes appeared before them. Just come like a ghost. Plus pale white skin, snow-white hair, and ruby-like red eyes made them confused whether it was human or not.
Moreover, the man seemed to have no expression on his face. Seemed calm, too calm like a corpse.
“What are you doing here!”
“Include yourself! Don't disturb the affairs of Cursed Berserkers if you don't want to get into trouble!”
“...”
The few people from the Cursed Berserkers closest to Ark said with ruthless expressions on their faces. As criminals who get out of prison plus a cruel life in the apocalypse period makes them more violent than ever before.
Not answering their words, Ark's figure disappeared and appeared like a ghost. By the time it appeared, the young man had already passed the four people closest to him. Somehow since when, he had been holding a black sword in his right hand.
BRUK!
At that very instant, the previous four people instantly fell onto the muddy ground. Seeing how the four of them were beheaded, the people instantly displayed a serious expression on their faces.
‘Is that a monster? A ghost? Could it be the demons that came?’
Questions popped into people's heads. Once the world became chaotic, they wouldn't be too surprised if there were aliens coming or even demons. Not knowing what happened to this chaotic world, they only knew that all beings changed and made the world chaotic.
Darker and dreary than the old stories that tell history or something.
“What are you waiting for! Attack it! Attack him if he doesn't want to die!”
“Yes! We must work together to finish him off!”
“...”
Everyone started rushing towards the Ark in panic. Only, the young man looked calm. He just disappeared and appeared like a ghost.
Every time it appeared, there must have been a person whose neck was cut off.
Seeing that, the people from the Golden Maple Group felt that they had met a savior. Only, their expressions instantly changed when they saw their comrades also beheaded.
Faced with such strange occurrences, many people started to panic and tried to escape.
They ran in panic. There were even some people who fell rolling on the ground, kneeling while crying for forgiveness. It's just that Ark doesn't care about them at all.
There's only one answer, kill.
In just a few minutes, nearly fifty people were killed. Leave one person standing quietly among the corpses of his comrades.
“You're not afraid?”
Ark walked calmly towards that person.
“I'm not afraid. After all, even if running foolishly, the result remains the same. It's free to waste energy if the results are the same. Besides, I really don't think that you can talk.
Without me knowing, it turned out to be an acquaintance.”
The voice of the nonchalant woman sounded. It's only right if he doesn't know Ark. After all, the change in appearance of the young man was indeed quite excessive.
Up in front of the woman, Ark sheathed his sword. He took something from his pocket and gave it to the woman.
“You really know me.”
The woman said in a relaxed tone, even indifferent. He then took out a cigarette in Ark's palm.
Bowing politely like an actor who gave his greetings before playing on stage, the woman said in a flat tone.
“Then I will happily follow you, My Lord.”
