Mr. Nacol had desperately tried to defend Nacol at that moment, even ordering him to flee to Gunter Manor to seek refuge and ask for help!
At that moment, the young man had killed eighteen people without even sweating. Nacol and his master quickly learned that he knew how to use black magic as well! His magic seemed to come from a strange flower he held in his hand.
Moments after Nacol started running, the young man chased after him and somehow stuck the flower on his chest! As soon as that happened, Nacol felt as if his soul was being torn to shreds, and a dizzy spell instantly swept across his entire body.
Even so, Nacol knew that he could not allow himself to fall at that moment. After all, his master was still waiting for the other Gunters to come and save him. With that, Nacol gritted his teeth and continued to crawl forward as he listened to the almost endless screams of dying people behind him.
He was too strong and terrifying.None of them were close to becoming his opponent!
After a long crawl, Nacol finally reached Gunter Manor. However, during crawling there, the flower petals—which had been imprinted on his chest—seemed to continue gnawing at his soul, if that made sense. Either way, Nacol felt as if all of his strength had been drained at that moment.
Fortunately, Lady Gunter and a few others had noticed him, and they quickly ran out of their manor.
However, unbeknownst to Nacol, the young man—who had been drenched in fresh blood—had caught up with him by then. In other words, he was also standing right in front of the Gunter Manor!
Although Nacol was barely conscious at the time, he could still hear the young man asking Gunter to give him something, both sides started fighting.
When Nacol finally woke up again, he heard from one of the Gunter family servants that the young man was defeated. After his inner strength was sealed, the young man quickly escaped from the Ancient City.
After everything that happened, the Gunters made sure to send their men to kill him. After all, the Gunter family was a family that was even admired by the four great societies.
After all, the situation was extremely chaotic, and Gunter had ordered the other large societies to hunt him down in secret as well. The Moldell and Naplock families, in particular, had been desperately searching for the young man everywhere.
Of course, Nacol himself had been trying to find him. After all, his master had been brutally murdered by that b*stard! Revenge was the only thing on his mind at the time.
Even so, the young man himself was only around thirty-five years old. With that thought in mind, it was astonishing how a young person like him could gather that much strength.
After hearing all that, Gerald then asked, “...So, did you manage to find it in the end..?”.
“Indeed... Still, what did he want from the Gunters for him to act so crazy..?” ask Gerald.
“About that.. The Gunters also kept it a secret from me. However, I had a vague premonition that it was related to the strange flower that the young man had printed on me.” Master Nacol said.
"…May I see it?" ask Gerald curiously.
Hearing his request, Nacol then opens his shoulders for Gerald to see. A flower that has only two petals!
Instantly standing as Gerald looked at her, he then shouted, "This is Annie Dead!"
There was no way Gerald would mistake the flower for anything else after suffering so much from it. With this new discovery, Gerald immediately began pacing around the room.
“...Oh? You know this flower, Mr Crawford?” master Nacol replied, feeling a little surprised.
“I know. Just tell a friend of mine mentioned it to me earlier. The friend in question is from the Gunter family, and I intend to look for them!” said Gerald.
Since Jace had already told Nacol that Gerald wanted to go to Gunter Manor, to find and possibly save someone, hearing Gerald say it in person did not come as much of a surprise to him.
Whatever the case, even though Gerald still seemed calm on the surface, his heart was completely muddled.
'How weird... The old lady also used Dead Annies... Even grandfather had their fields even though he mostly only kept them for his beauty and rarity... After all, to think that the young man had killed so many people brutally using Dead Annie, the young man was arguably more skilled at using it compared to the old woman! The god flower*mn it was even in large numbers in the palace of the king of the seas!' Gerald thought to himself, feeling a little confused and frustrated with all the pieces of information that didn't really tell a complete story.
Is there something hidden inside Dead Annies...?
