"OH? YOU WOULD ABANDON THESE PEOPLE AND RETURN HO?" It almost sounded comical. A demon lecturing about abandoning people? It really was hypocritical.
"I-I don't owe them anything…it would be pointless to waste my life for theirs…" My argunt was sound. This world was pretty screwed as it is. The gods had almost abandoned it and monsters were everywhere. It will probably be better without a guy like .
And yet, when I said that, my heart pounded so hard, that it was as though it wanted to leave my chest.
"THEN YOU WOUDNT MIND KILLING THEM ALL RIGHT?" I saw white teeth on his pure black cloak. He wasn't kidding, not one bit.
"What?" I was dumbfounded. He'd kill all of them if I say no?
But before I could process the whole thing, he let out a faint dark aura and brought out his sword, imdiately slicing through all the people there. Pale darkness blinded the light as a sword darker than night, moved faster than anything I'd ever seen.
Without a mont's delay, all their heads flew. After a few seconds, blood gushed out. I remained stunned. As if realizing that they were dead, the bodies fell on the ground not moving an inch.
It wasn't true that I didn't owe them anything; the people I owed already died because of . Dune, Sheila died because of . The villagers suffered and died, because of . Lianne risked her life because of . Those four saved my life and risked theirs. And yet I say I don't owe them anything? How much of a scum am I? At least my thoughts were more honest than I was.
Playing spectator wasn't going to get anywhere. I needed to make my decision. Go back to my peaceful world and abandon everything or live through this hell and save as much as I could, were the only two options; one was easy and the other a hellish nightmare. I was no hero and I never intended to be one. But I couldn't bear to see innocent people die because of ; not again.
I grunted and smiled. Besides, there's nothing for left there. I had steeled my resolve. "Very well. I will play your stupid ga." It took a lot to say those words but I didn't stutter. I didn't stutter even for a second. Did I want this, deep down? Did I want to save the people I knew nothing about?
"IT TOOK YOU SO TI BUT ATLEAST YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE."
He stopped in his tracks after slaying about a few dozen people around . His dark sword stopped right before he could slice off another head and dripped blood on the floor. The lucky man let out a scream and passed out on the stone pavent.
"What do you an?" I asked.
"IF YOU HAD CHOSEN TO RUN BACK HO THAN THAT WOULD HAVE ANT YOU WERE A BORING PERSON. AND I HATE SUCH N. THUS YOU WOULD HAVE DROPPED DEAD. SO CONGRATULATIONS." It sounded comical yet the gravity was rather strong.
I suppose I should have known that. I evaded an imdiate ga over by sheer dumb luck and determination. That didn't make happy for a second. Because of , people were on the ground, dead. All of that was my fault! How could I have been glad to hear that?
"NOW LET MAKE THIS CLEAR. YOU HAVE BUT ONE YEAR. IN THIS PERIOD THE DEMON ARMY WOULDN'T WAGE WAR. BUT AFTER THAT I WILL DECLARE WAR ON THIS WORLD. AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP WOULD BE TO KILL . STOP IF YOU CAN. AH AH AHAH!" His sadistic laughter echoed throughout the land.
But there was sothing which was bugging from the very first day. There were a lot of questions I wanted to know about, however, this was probably the most important one. "Can you tell one thing?"
"YES?"
"Why ?"
"NO PARTICULAR REASON. I JUST PICKED PEOPLE OUT OF RANDOM."
And yet that important question had no value. I was nothing but an average idiot after all. "So there were more people besides ?"
"NOW THEN, I BELIEVE I SHOULD BE LEAVING. DO YOUR BEST AND DON'T DISAPPOINT ."
He left as a sinister laugh echoed throughout the land, yet again. He didn't wait for to answer or anything. But one thing was clear. It would be more than just impossible to even stand up to him as I was.
The sky beca normal but the clouds remained. And soon rain fell on my face. The blood on the road flowed along with the rain, making a light red color.
My heart didn't race anymore, my body didn't quiver. Sothing was wrong with .
Most of the people, who were here, died. Only a handful survived yet they were frightened beyond reason. The corpse in the alleyway disappeared as well. A few monts later a band of knights led by that large man ca by and ford a ring around . Wasn't he that man who beat up Seel? That guy was leading these n apparently.
They pointed their spears at . I bet they think I caused all this commotion. Honestly, I couldn't bla them even if they did.. Because this ti, it really was .
