Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy

Chapter 213 213:Perpetrator?[2]

The knights gasped in shock as they found themselves scared shitless, just by the gaze of a teen boy.

Their legs buckled up seeing the intense gaze of the black-haired boy whose single glance was sending chills down their spines with a warning that they would die if they dared to come closer.

A thick killing intent dyed the entire place in red.

Swallowing his saliva, a knight tried to step forward thinking that this might be some kind of petty trick by this small boy to scare them.

"Is all of this your doing? Are you a traitor and a member of Omen, holding Princess as hostage?"

"Boy, you are playing with death. Let our Highness go now."

"At the very least you will be gifted with a painless death for touching the jewel of the Empire. Who knows if His Majesty's mood is good, you will be left alive with a minor punishment of losing two arms and a few organs."

'Just kill this guy.' Issac who stood at the side clenched his fist tightly to the point that his nail dug deep into his skin.

Following the brave knight's words, the others woke up from their stupor and bracing themselves, they stepped forward cautiously in case there might be some trap laid around.

Seeing the boy holding Princess Julian who knows if they get closer, he harms the Princess and uses her as a hostage to escape.

"You are saying my student is guilty."

"Who do you think you are? Have you asked me?"

The moment a cold voice fell, goosebumps rose from the knight's back and their body jolted in shock with the premonition of a deadly crisis.

All of them halted in their steps feeling many pairs of blood-red hands strangling their necks.

TAP!RTAP!TAP!TAP!TAP!

With gentle yet ominous steps, a man with blood hair strolled behind them with a nonchalant look as if he was strolling in the garden.

He wore the academy instructor uniform and had an insignia of Horizon which for a moment made them doubt his identity.

No one knew when this person appeared and sneaked in behind them but all of their gut feelings screamed that this person was dangerous.

Ledger's heart tightened seeing those dark ominous gazes. His eyes stirred, sensing an immense murderous intent that seemed to be oozing out of his eyes.

Seeing the killing intent wrapped around the person, Ledger thought this might be the guy who made them feel that their head would be severed before but since he was sneaking behind they mistook thinking that all this was due to that boy's gaze.

'Just how many people did he kill to have such a profound aura even though he is clearly at 6-Star?'

Ledger, who was contemplating his thoughts, snapped out of it when a knight from his squad stepped forward and sneered at the man.

"Presumptuous, how dare you interfere in the work of the knights? Are you in cahoots with him? A mere 6-Star instructor dares to show off in front of a 7-Star knight."

'Fuck, I the captain hadn't even spoken so why are you dancing around?!' Ledger screamed in his mind.

"Seth, stop."

"Explain yourself, traitor!" The Knight named Seth, ignoring his captain's call, screamed, pulling out his sword.

The silver-armoured Knights behind him, without wasting their breath, pulled out their swords, however...

Their swords hadn't even left their scabbard when a blood trail of light cut through the air.

The world turned silent for a moment after which the armours of five knights who stood in the front were cut into halves with a bloody cut over their chests.

Seth who stood at the front just stood there in shock and looked down to notice his chest cut open with a deep cut.

Blood spurted out from his chest like a fountain.

With a nonchalant look, the blood-haired man walked past the knights who just stood there frozen, unable to understand just what was happening here.

"I don't explain. I just cut."

The man walking closer to Lucas drew a line before the knights and said,"Anyone who crosses this line will die today."

"Believe me, I don't bluff." The man's blood-red eyes glowed viciously with a crazy smile hanging over his lips.

The atmosphere became a standstill and 10 Knights already started to call back up while planning in their head to stall time for reinforcement to arrive.

Before things could heat up, a loud voice broke the information.

"Harris, stop this."

"Knights, retreat. This guy is not our enemy."

Ami's figure landed beside them and eased the tension. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes seeing Lucas holding unconscious Julian.

"Miss Ami, how can you do this?!" Issac, whose body has become stiff due to Harris's killing intent, shouted seeing Miss Ami taking Lucas' side.

"Shut up, Issac, it's not your place to scream."

"Lucas...."

Ami spoke hoarsely, unable to imagine what transpired here.

When the barrier vanished immediately, the Vice-principal tried to pull everyone out of the Tower but it didn't work.

Ami wasn't able to suppress her anxiety so even though she had other orders to take care of, throwing it all aside, she hurried to this place.

Just as she stepped into the place, a thick bloody smell assaulted her and she was gobsmacked seeing a massacre with cut meat splattered all around.

Ami suppressed her panicked heart seeing Julian's pale expression as if she didn't have any blood left in her body. It seemed frozen lacking the tiniest warmth a living human body should have.

Lucas just stared at Miss Ami with a murderous gaze as if she were a deadly enemy.

"Lucas, snap out of it. It's me, Miss Ami. I am not your enemy."Ami muttered, walking closer in slow steps.

The killing intent in his eyes disappeared and his gaze rotated between Ami and a deathly pale Julian.

"Miss Ami...Jul....."His voice choked seeing Julian lying like a withered flower in his arms. His hazy mind which was filled with messy thoughts slowly started to make his mind unstable.

Remembering the cruel fate that awaited Julian and just how much she had sacrificed, Lucas' heart burnt with suffocation.

At that moment, he wanted to kill.

Kill anyone who dares to harm this benefactor who has always saved him in one way or another.

"It's okay Lucas, leave her to me. She will be safe with us. I swear on my life."Ami muttered with a weird feeling wondering since when she needed to ask for his permission to take back sickly pale Julian.

She was also feeling uncomfortable seeing Lucas holding Julian in his arms as this might become a big issue if it is found out to outsiders especially to the Emperor still without knowing the crux of the things, she didn't want to condemn and later find that this was just a misunderstanding.

Lucas' killing intent disappeared, and his eyes returned to normal as his mentality slowly started to adjust.

"Hmmm!" Lucas nodded and lifted Julian in his arms with a gentle gesture, handing her to Miss Ami carefully as if there was a priceless treasure in his arms.

"She had suffered some internal injuries. She might be in a comatose state for a few days but she is fine. She just needs ample rest."Lucas muttered with a gentle tone.

As Ami took Julian's figure into her arms, the Knights showed movements.

"Please follow us for investigation-"But before he could even finish his sentence, Harris's blade was already placed over Ledger's neck.

"You also talk too much." Harris chuckled.

"All of you retreat. No need to investigate."

"But...." Ledger refused to back down as it was his duty to make sure he did not overlook anything otherwise the Emperor would have his head.

"I ask you to investigate things first before arresting someone without proof. I am telling you this not as Instructor of Horizon but as Ami Graceford, the leader of the 3rd Battalion of Knights. As leader of a battalion, I have the highest seniority here so my order is absolute!" Ami shouted, pulling out the Knight badge from her storage ring, startling the Knights.

They have never imagined in their wildest dreams that the leader of the famous 3rd battalion which consists of only women would work as an instructor here.

"Take care of the mess here and check the children's condition."

"Yes, Ma'am!" The Knights saluted in an orderly manner.

Ami followed by a few servants left with a streak of lightning.

Harris stared at Lucas' conflicted expression and walked past him patting his shoulder.

"Don't worry, everything is alright now."

Another pair of footsteps echoed, drawing Lucas' attention.

Turning his head, he saw Frederick and Parth with messy hair running towards them.

"Bro, are you alright? What's going on?!" Parth screamed in bewilderment.

"Congratulations, you just survived a massacre" Harris muttered, glancing at the state of the battlefield.

"It seems your friends are here. I need to work so I will take my leave."Harris spoke softly and then pausing for a moment spoke softly again.

"It seems you are in a trance. If possible try to remember this feeling."Harris whispered

and left with a streak of light.

"Lucas, are you alright?" Frederick asked while taking a deep breath as his chest heaved up and down. He seemed to be exhausted.

"Enn!"

"Bro, just what did you drink? You touched The Princess? hell yeah! Since when did you become a man?" Parth spoke trying to cool down things and patted Lucas.

"Aghh!" Parth screamed and flinched back, feeling a thick aura around Lucas coursing like current through his body upon touching Lucas.

"Parth!" Frederick spoke with a surprised expression.

"What's going-"

Frederick's words choked in his throat as his gaze landed on Lucas' darkened face frightening him.

Parth's heartbeat crazily sped up seeing Lucas' dead serious expression.

One shouldn't go by the face value of easygoing Lucas. He may look like a gentle virtuous man who looked too kind to exist here but once angered, he is like a demon crawling out of the abyss prepared to pull those who harmed him into the abyss.

This was the type of guy for whom the proverb 'never tests a gentleman's patience' was made for.

"He will not live for long."

Lucas' cold words sounded like thunder in Parth and Frederick's ears.

"Who?"

Both of them with confused expressions turned their faces following Lucas' line of sight which fell on Issac who was screaming to the knights a bit away from them.

"I am telling you this guy is the one behind all this. He committed a felony! He needs to be punished!"

"Obey my order and apprehend him!" Isaac screamed, stomping his ground in anger.

"Sir Issac, you might be an heir but you are Duke's heir. And even if you were a Duke, we only obey orders from superior knights or someone from the Royal family." Ledger ignored Issac and strolled ahead.

"Damn, you!" Issac screamed and upon turning his gaze, he met a pair of dark hollow eyes devoid of any warmth or empathy.

It was cold, hollow that pierced deep into a person sending a shiver down their spine instilling a deep fear straight in a person's soul and conveying a clear message which is.

Death..

You are going to die.

What was most terrifying, was that it wasn't warning, rather it looked as if those eyes were declaring a thing that was going to happen.

Issac's breathing ceased on meeting with those ominous gazes, stirring the very depth of his heart. An uncomfortable feeling akin to hundreds of nefarious bugs crawling under his skin and transverse through his body making him quiver.

"You…." Before Issac could react and control his shivering body, a bright light flashed across the place with which, everyone inside the place was ejected out, which finally brought an end to this terrorizing incident.
