I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.
CHAPTER 14: THE ENEMY'S PLAN
"Aaaaa, my hand!", the voice of a man's cry rang out from the tree that Riona had destroyed, the voice was not only from 1 person but there were countless screams of pain from the people around.
"Master, it seems that what we think is right, the task this time is not to kill the shadow wolf, but we are the target to be killed", riona said coldly because they had been deceived, although in the end they could find out the trap but Riona was still unhappy.
Elos slightly smiled "You are right, from the beginning the adventurers or the guild receptionists have considered us as dead since receiving the task. They don't doubt we can fight the shadow wolves, the reason they think of us as dead is that they know that this task is a trap, whoever receives it must never come back".
"Then Porte was the one who gave us this task, it seems like he helped us not because he appreciated our talent, but there is another reason behind all this. Village chief, you'll hide there until when?".
The sound of Elos' cries echoed throughout the forest, dozens of villagers carrying swords or other weapons emerged from behind the surrounding trees, the previous village chief was also among them.
Seeing that there were still many enemies around, Riona's face became gloomy. He walked to stand in front of Elos so as to protect him, he would not let anyone hurt Elos even a little.
The village chief who was among the enemies had a gloomy face, he had already done this job long enough and had never failed before. More precisely the guild master always brought new children to this place, so they definitely did not know that this was a trap.
"Son, how do you know that we're the culprit behind all this? Do you happen to know about it or are the officers sent from the kingdom to arrest us?", said the village chief very coldly, there was a very strong killing intent in his eyes.
"I don't mind telling you the way I know that this is a trap, but you have to tell me first the reason for doing something like this. It seems that we are not your earliest victims, most likely this has happened often, right?", asked Elos to be sure.
The village chief smiled viciously "We have no other choice, to survive then this thing must be done! The forest of death had already destroyed the surrounding land, even the surrounding villages were affected. Our fields were destroyed, the cattle that were fed became thin, even though they were looking for the best food from Ruher City but all were useless, therefore, this is the only way to solve our famine: to capture the foolish adventurers and make them slaves. Especially the beautiful women, those disgusting nobles would be happy to pay the handsome lady dearly!".
After that the village chief looked at Riona as if looking at the lot of money in front of her eyes, Elos slightly shook her head. He knew that these people did not need to be allowed to live, rather Elos had already thrown away his human feelings since becoming a skull so that he would not hesitate to kill these people.
Elos drew his sword "I will kill you all, your existence is completely unnecessary in this world!".
"Hahahahaha", the village chief laughed as if he heard the funniest thing in the world "You are really stupid, not only we did this but almost everyone! There are even many people who do something more cruel than us, since the gods of good and evil fight each other then poverty, hunger and death always haunt us! Though this war is the decision of the gods and kings, but we who are only normal residents are the ones who get the most trouble as a result of this war! Despite having to cover my hands with blood, I can't let my family starve to death! I will capture and sell you as slaves! Now tell me, how did you know that this whole thing was a trap?".
The village chief tried to find out why Elos knew their plan, after all he had to close a gap like this that could make their plan fail.
Elos gets ready to fight "The reason is easy, I ask you how many shadow wolves are visible, you answer there are only 1. But the shadow wolf is a pack creature, it always moves with at least 4 wolves or more. It's become a weird thing!".
"Is that your only reason? Perhaps it was a coincidence that this shadow wolf was alone or that he was separated from his group, why can you be so sure?", asked the village chief again to be sure.
Elos said confidently "Of course there is another reason, your village is too crowded! The children were busy playing around in the streets while the women were talking to each other, this did not look like a frightened village at all. If the villagers were afraid of wolves, they would hide at home, not to mention letting the children play. What kind of parents would let their children play in the street when there was a hungry shadow wolf that might attack the village at any time? So I can understand that it wasn't his parents who were weird, but the villagers who weren't scared because you all know that the story of the shadow wolf is a lie!".
The eyes of the village chief widened, he had already deceived many people but no one had ever been as aware as Elos. Even the village chief himself had never realized the weakness, a smile appeared on his face "Thank you for your advice, I make sure this will never happen again!".
"You need not worry, this will not happen again because you too will die!" said Elos coldly.
Then Elos stepped forward as quickly as possible while slashing his sword towards the person at the very front, the village chief was at the very back which made Elos quite difficult to target.
Without needing to be told by Elos, Riona had already moved by herself. A light appeared on his spear "Spear of Light!".
"Booooom!".
An extremely powerful force of light exploded from Riona's spear, the attack instantly killing 5 people from the enemy side.
The village head was already very frightened due to Riona's strength, he raised his hand to point towards Riona "Kill the young lady! His attack was too deadly, it was better to kill him as quickly as possible!".
The villagers stared at each other, after which they nodded with determination.
"Strike the woman!", shouted the villagers vigorously fighting, they all advanced to kill Riona first.
"I won't let it!", a shouting voice rang out, the figure of Elos leaping in front of all of them, the sword in Elos' hand was covered by an extremely deadly black aura.
Elos opened his eyes before slashing towards the enemy force "Ruler of Death".
