Dark Lord
42. Massacres.
Sunlight that radiates bright light with warmth begins to appear to decorate the blue sky.
Zidan along with the sweet Devil and Ma'ruf were ready to begin the journey towards the territory of the golden Phoenix clan and the raisin auction hall.
With just a single breath, the three of them began the journey at a speed that no ordinary person could follow.
Zidan entered into the shadow world and jumped from the shadow of one tree to the shadow of another tree,
While the sweet devil makes his body into a flake of black rose petals that are blown by the wind so fiercely.
Ma'ruf split his body into hundreds of bats and started flying after the sweet Devil who had become thousands of black rose petals.
The journey that should have been taken for a few days could have been so short for people who studied magic.
The scorching sun during the day made Zidan pause and asked the sweet Devil and Ma'ruf to come to a stop.
The fatigue that Zidan felt was very natural because the shadow step technique greatly drained his stamina and mana.
The three finally decided to stop for a moment in one of the villages to find a restaurant.
"Well, this village doesn't seem foreign".
"You're right Zhi, this is one of the villages on the border of the Wolf forest before entering the city".
For a moment the three thought, looking for a restaurant to eliminate fatigue and relieve fatigue.
But the stinging smell of blood entered his third nose as they got closer to the village.
"Here, this stinks of blood! Bi, Zhi let's quickly enter that village!".
Sweet Devil face looks pale and anxious, sweet devil think something has happened in the village.
The guess of the sweet Devil is not 100% wrong considering the location of the village is in the forest and is commonly used to stay overnight by traders and robbers.
Conflicts between traders and robbers were natural in the various villages located near the forest, he said, but the scent of blood that was so pungent could not be produced from the death of one or two robbers or merchants.
The sweet Devil's face grew pale after seeing dozens of corpses adorning the village's streets, blood and vultures where.
"A-a what the hell is this?".
The sweet devil asked in surprise.
Ma'ruf who saw the shock of the sweet Devil started to open his mouth slowly.
"This fresh blood, it should have just happened".
Among the three, only Zidan could still behave calmly looking at the condition even though the three were the same as slaughtering hundreds of people.
"From you just daydreaming and staying here, we better explore this village first.
Who knows if there are survivors and need help".
The words of Zidan that are so logical make the sweet Devil can again think calmly and control himself from shock.
"True what you say Zhi, we better hurry up".
Slowly and calmly, the three combed through each location of the village until they found several young men and women who were sheltering under a table in one of the restaurants.
"Hmmm, thank goodness there are survivors".
The young men and women who saw the sweet Devil approaching with Zidan and Ma'ruf started shouting very loudly and hysterically.
"To-please don't kill us sir, we'll give you whatever you want but please don't take my life".
"Calm down, the three of us are here to help you".
The sweet devil explained the intent of his arrival with a friendly smile so that the young man who was still in shock could calm down a little even though it was impossible.
"No-no way, all the outsiders who came here were members of the snow bear sect.
You must have come to take revenge! Go quickly let us live".
Still with a friendly smile, the sweet Devil pulled the hand of one of the youths who had taken shelter under the table.
"You need not fear, we are not members of the white bear sect.
You can get out from under that table, I'll guarantee your safety".
"Why do we have to obey your words, you could have killed us after we got out".
Zidan who initially looked calm now looked a little angry at the behavior of young men and women who wanted sweet Devils to persuade them kindly.
Although the young man initially refused, they finally began to calm down because of the sweet Devil seduction that was very soft.
One by one the young men and women hiding under the table sprung up with slightly calm faces.
"Alright, you better calm down first.
After that you can tell about the disaster that befell this village".
Drinking water along with food that is sweet Devil, Zidan and Ma'ruf make provisions start they give to the young girls.
Only a few people were willing to eat the food, some even spewed out the innate provisions of the sweet Devil because they remembered the slaughter they saw with their own eyes.
A girl who was still crying sobbed, Zidan became interested in calming her down.
"Hey, quiet. The sect members who had slaughtered these villagers had left.
You can now calm down and not worry because we're here".
"What do you know about us! You only come after the slaughter happens and give some food and drink and act like a savior".
"Hey stupid, you think we're the law enforcement who's coming after you give us the information?
We are only travelers who happen to pass by, you should be grateful that we came and gave you food and drink!".
"Do you think that food and drink helps us!".
The girl's shout made everyone in the room become speechless and glanced at her.
With her hands constantly pulling her own hair, the girl cried hysterically before returning to Zidan.
"Better you go now! All outsiders are the same, you are just******** that easily kills others.
You raped the girls in this village and killed some of them like animals! Then shamelessly you came here as if you were a savior!".
What Zidan felt at this moment was his anger so overflowing, only he slightly understood the situation of the young women who were stricken by the disaster.
"You all killed our parents and even our families with laughter!
If you want to kill us all please do! I'm not afraid, I'm desperate.
All my relatives and family have you taken away, I'd rather die now! Let's kill me".
The pox coming out of the mouth of the young woman strongly illustrates that she is so depressed and has never seen a murder with her own eyes before.
Everyone looked at Zidan's face which now looked expressionlessly flat.
Zidan slowly approached the girl who was still grabbing the hairpins herself.
What Zidan did after being so close to the girl made everyone who was in the room gulp.
Instead of encouraging or calming the girl, Zidan strangled the girl's neck firmly until she was lifted off the floor.
"Argh ahhhh, a what are you ahh doing".
In a soft voice, Zidan answered the question of the girl who was trying to break away from her hand.
"I'm just helping you, didn't you want to die before?
I'll grant your wish, let me make you die slowly".
One of the young men, who saw what Zidan was doing, started shouting and begging Zidan for forgiveness.
"Tu-sir please forgive him, let him and us live sir.
Please, sir, be gracious and forgive his mistakes".
"What did you say? I'm just helping her, shouldn't you thank me?".
The girl again thrashed and tried to let go of Zidan's hand which was strangling her neck very strongly.
"Le-let me arghhh, I I don't want to die argggghhh"
The man prostrated himself before Zidan and again asked Zidan to release his hand which was still strangling the girl's neck very tightly.
"You think I'm the main character in a comic or novel that's helpful, kind, and not arrogant?".
The sweet devil who saw Zidan's behavior began to jump right in front of Zidan then slapped Zidan's face very hard.
"Yeah!".
The sound of a sweet Devil slap made the entire room confused.
"What are you doing Zhi! Weren't you the one who suggested that we go through this village to find survivors and help them.
But look what you're doing! You could even hurt a girl!".
The overflowing anger of the sweet Devil made Zidan soften a little.
"I was just helping him to appreciate his life more, a lot of people in this world want to stay alive but God doesn't allow it.
As a human being who is still given life, he should be grateful for his life".
The sweet Devil's eyes reddened with restraining emotions to keep his tears from boiling.
"I know what you mean! But this is not how I hate the way you solve problems.
This girl is traumatized to the point of depression, you should know that and let her vent all her anger!".
Seeing the sweet Devil scolding himself before calming down the girl who looked so frightened, Zidan was fed up and decided to leave the room with an annoyed grunt.
"Ciiih, I was just helping her".
Dozens of bodies were still in the flow of fresh blood made Zidan feel a little nauseous, but Zidan instead approached the corpse of a corpse that lost several limbs.
With a nauseous expression, Zidan looked at the several corpses whose entrails were breaking out.
"I have to endure my nausea, I have to get used to the smell of blood and this kind of sight.
Because inevitably, one day I will definitely experience a battle on top of a pile of corpses.
As an asassin I have to get used to it".
In just a few minutes, Zidan was feeling better and not nauseous.
With a flat face without having any expression, Zidan again saw some dead bodies in a horrible way like some corpses whose heads were crushed until their brains were seen coming out or some bodies that lost limbs.
