The world is changing, it was not peaceful like it used to, skirmishes keep happening, monsters invasion, dispute between nations, overall the situation was slowly getting back.

In one of the principalities, in one of the big cities a riot started suddenly.

°°°

"Stand up, brothers!"

The leading rioter snarled as he witnessed the armored soldiers and enormous manor on the hills. He held a torch in his left hand and a bloodied sword on the other. Behind him was a group of people filled with anger and murderous intent. They were mostly young and middle-aged men who were miners. They were once incredibly afraid of this place as though it was the demon lord's home. But now, they no longer needed to fear the ones who enslaved them because they were about to use their blood, weapons, and turn their lives into the screams of their souls to make those bastards learn their wrath and power!

"Stop right now and leave this place!"

The captain standing at the top of the watchtower shivered at the sight of the masses. He clutched his crossbow and couldn't calm down at all. The streets were filled with people and flares like slow, flowing lava. Not only that, but he also realized that his soldiers were exceedingly nervous. Damn it! You guys aren't any country bumpkins! You're the elites of the Viper Gang! What's there to be tense about some slaves!

"Push forward and block the door. Get ready for battle!"

The captain kicked one of his soldiers fiercely and ordered in panic. Shortly after, the defensive line was formed by the powerful elites from the Viper Gang, Shane's direct subordinates!

"Hiss——"

All of a sudden, the captain heard a sinister and ice-cold voice from behind which made him shiver. He turned around hurriedly and witnessed a man who had his entire body wrapped in a black cloak. The captain turned from a fierce bear into a docile lamb instantly. He quickly stooped over and bowed.

"Sir."

"Those slaves are still unwilling to leave?"

The man in black cloak gazed at the group of rioters gradually approaching.

"Yes, Sir, I've warned them many times. Those damn rioters… I wonder why they are so bold today…"

"Hmph."

The man in black cloak let out a scoff and the captain instantly shut his mouth. The captain looked cautiously at the other man and asked.

"Sir, what do you intend to…"

The man in black cloak didn't answer. Instead, he extended and swung his right hand.

Boom!

Several enormous, pitch-black stone statues descended from above and crashed into the crowd. The group of rioters came to an abrupt halt. No matter how angry they were, they were still surprised by the sudden appearance of monsters.

"Foolish. Lowly. Shameless."

The man in black cloak gazed coldly at the people as though they were a bunch of brainless animals.

"Although I don't know why you lowly slaves suddenly have the guts for this, this is the end. You've crossed the line so be prepared to pay with your life."

The man's voice sounded so sinister that it brought about an unprecedented, cold breeze. Then, he swung his arm and let out a snort.

"Kill them all."

He ordered. The enormous stone statues widened their menacing jaw and growled as they pounced at the rioters.

The slaughter began.

Blood and chunks of flesh splattered.

The gargoyles slashed their stone claws at the humans ruthlessly, lifted them up, and tossed them aside like rag dolls. Trails of blood splashed in midair onto the humans. But instead of fleeing in fear, the humans widened their blood-shot eyes and raised their weapons like a group of maniacs, hacking at the gargoyles with everything they had got. The metal blades struck the gargoyles but failed to turn the situation into their favor. The menacing gargoyles swung their tails and blasted off several humans into the air, crashing onto the city wall.

It was a messy, horrific, and bloody sight. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

The man in black cloak let out an evil laughter at the sight of the pathetic, powerless humans. But he was curious as to why they didn't retreat because according to his past experiences, humans turned around immediately upon seeing the gargoyles. Thereafter, he simply ordered the gargoyles to give chase and slaughter them altogether.

However, he didn't expect them to be this stubborn and naive. Not only did they not escape, but they also charged forward to their death. Well, this was fine too, since it saved him time from tracking them later on.

He gazed at the tragedy in disdain.

Within 10 minutes, blood had merged to form a river in front of the watchtower with hundreds of corpses piling up on the streets. However, this didn't stop the humans from advancing. The soldiers on the watchtower felt chills running down their spines. They were elites of the Crimson Gang and logically speaking, they shouldn't be bothered by these rioters. As soon as the gargoyles crashed onto the ground and began to massacre the rioters, the soldiers were cheering. But now, the entire watchtower was in complete silence as the soldiers watched palely at the bloody river and hill of corpses.

However, it wasn't this horrendous scene that frightened them. It was the rioters instead.

The rioters are continuing to charge forward!

They expected the rioters to struggle before finally turning around and fleeing in terror. However, they charged forward insanely as though their ripped and slaughtered companions were non-existent. They continued to raise their weapons, trampled over their corpses and slippery internal organs, and snarled at the gargoyles. As soon as the ones leading the charge were killed, those in the back immediately pushed forward and picked up the dropped weapons.

They were so decisive that it was terrifying. No one retreated, not even when the gargoyles swept their razor-sharp claws or swung their enormous tails to shatter their bones.

The man in black frowned as expected something doesn't feel right.

'What is it?'

Suddenly, he heard a voice.

''Wow! As expected of a traitor, you're not half bad.''

It was a woman's voice.

The man in black feel chill run down his spine and like a robot looked at the owner of the voice.

Beautiful golden eyes accompanied by nine tails and a matching golden hair, fox ears above her head.

''Kuina Eriel Foxia is my name. I hope you enjoyed my illusion Mr Mayor."

''!"

The man in black froze. No wonder things feel weird.

A terrifying chill swept through his entire body. His spine was cold, and his scalp felt like it was going to explode.

''Shit! I'm done for.''

That was the man's last thought before darkness swallow him.
