Redemption
The sky was gloomy and night was coming. The breathing of the Marines around them was getting heavier.
“Lieutenant Colonel Kuro is a Lieutenant Colonel, and our Lieutenant Colonel Hugo is also a Lieutenant Colonel. Why do you treat him like this?”
The lieutenant tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife at his waist, his expression unfriendly.
The Captain smiled disdainfully. “Marines who prevent others from catching pirate conspirators, I have never heard of them.”
The lieutenant pulled out his knife and roared, “You are not allowed to insult Lieutenant Colonel Hugo!”
“I will not let you slander Lieutenant Colonel Kuro.” The Captain waved his arm and the Marines behind him immediately raised their spears and aimed at the Marines opposite them.
Similarly, the Marines behind the Lieutenant drew their weapons, each of them full of anger.
The atmosphere was very tense, as if they were about to fight in the next moment.
“Crush!”
Kuro waved his blade and a strong killing intent pressed over.
However, the killing intent was like a gust of wind, blowing their robes and the ends of their hair. Kuro could see that their expressions were absent-minded for a while, and then their anger became stronger.
Not dizzy …
“You’re kidding.” Leda stopped eating.
Kuro’s killing intent couldn’t make this group of people faint?
When did their will become so strong?
“Sea water…”
A sound came from behind.
Kuro turned his head and saw that Gugas, who was lying there, gasped a few times and said, “Those who are not dead can be removed by soaking in the seawater.”
Gugas’s voice was not as sad as before. He turned his head and his eyes were very calm. “We have to be fast. Once the sky is completely dark, it will be too late.”
Crash!
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of water drops fell from the sky. The rain was about the size of a fist and it hurt when it hit people.
Kuro clenched his five fingers and the water mass in the rain gathered and wrapped around everyone present.
“Kuro, what are you doing, coo—”
Even Leda was no exception.
After being soaked in the seawater, Kuro let go and let the water disperse from their bodies.
“We…”
The Captain and Marines were stunned and put down their weapons, their eyes filled with fear.
What did they want to do just now?!
There has never been such a precedent for infighting with colleagues. It almost led to an irreparable matter.
At this moment, the lieutenant raised his blade and slashed at the captain.
Whoosh!
The strong wind pressure suddenly rolled up and blew the lieutenant and the Marines behind him away.
Kuro held Autumn Water and asked Gugas, “Hey, didn’t they say that those who are not dead can be removed by soaking in seawater?”
Gugas said nothing and looked at Kuro with infinite grief.
Kuro’s hand holding the knife trembled slightly. “No way…”
“Yes, they are all dead,” Gugas said lightly.
“Ah ah ah ah!”
A cry came from the side. Hugo was kneeling on the ground and looking at his hands with trembling hands. Similarly, his face no longer showed madness and he became like a normal person.
Soon, he seemed to remember something and suddenly looked up at Kuro and said quickly, “Everyone in Tada Town died three days ago. What exists here is not human at all!”
Kuro frowned and said, “You called?”
“Let’s go quickly, there’s no time, bring the information back and let Headquarters activate the Demon Slayer Token, this place… is hopeless!”
Hugo ignored Kuro’s words and quickly finished his last words as if he was giving his last words. Then, his face showed pain. “Hurry… Go!”
That last sound was like a strange roar.
The dark clouds completely covered the sky, plunging Tada Town into complete darkness.
Hugo hugged himself in pain as his skin gradually turned fiery red. He opened his mouth wide and let out a whimper-like roar.
Boom!
Flames emerged from his hair, facial features, and skin one after another before they were extinguished by the seawater rain.
But just because the flames are gone doesn’t mean that he is fine. His skin is still beginning to turn black, like carbonization after being burned by the flames, and on the surface of his body, there are fiery red lines like magma flowing.
Just as the book says, bear the pain of burning.
In addition to Hugo, the people who were blown away by Kuro’s knife were the same. Their bodies were twisted and their expressions were terrifying. Their bodies were covered with steam from the rain.
Every one of them became like this.
“So painful, so painful, blood, give me blood…”
Hugo reached out his trembling hand. His charred hand swelled a little and his fingers became very sharp, like a beast claw.
“Give me blood!!!”
The charred facial features could no longer be seen. Instead, they were filled with endless madness.
Just like the contents of the book, at night, people will turn into monsters and bear the burning pain. Only by taking the blood of the living can the pain be reduced.
Whoosh!
An axe flew away quickly and the blade cut Hugo in half. The axe rotated forward and cut off the Marines who had also transformed into monsters. Like a boomerang, it flew back to the rear.
Behind him, Gugas stood up and caught the huge axe with one hand. His eyes were unusually cold as he looked at Kuro and the others with madness and murmured, “Redemption…”
She fell into his trap and can still move?
Gugas trembled and his body began to expand. With the sound of cloth tearing, his priest robe was torn apart and a large amount of black hair squeezed out of it. His face gradually became long and narrow and his legs were bent like a beast.
“Ao!!!”
A five-meter-tall majestic werewolf stood upright and roared at the dark sky.
Aptitude user?!
And it’s the zoological system with the most vitality?
No wonder she could still move after being hit by his Unseen Grace.
From the looks of it, this is not an ordinary species. A werewolf that can stand upright and grow bigger is at least an ancient species.
“Roar!”
The werewolf looked down at Kuro and swung his huge claws.
Kuro clenched his hand and the heavy rain suddenly shrank towards the werewolf, forming a mass of seawater that swallowed him.
At the same time, he wiped Autumn Water with two fingers, bringing out a golden light.
“The profound meaning of the Unseen Divine Wind…”
The seawater can make ability users powerless, but it depends on the level. At this level, it can only be said to be weakened. With his strength, it is too easy for him to break through the seawater.
Therefore, he would kill him first.
“Azure Dragon!”
The blade fell and cut into the seawater. The seawater immediately rolled and almost turned into a water dragon that swallowed the werewolf. The water turned into a sharp blade and kept cutting the werewolf’s body. The blood filled the seawater and made it muddy.
The werewolf continued to roar in pain. About three minutes later, the mass of blood scattered, revealing the appearance of the bloody werewolf.
Bang!
Its body collapsed backward, and only the rise and fall of its chest showed that it was still alive.
After the werewolf undulated for a while, his body slowly shrank and he turned into a human.
“Thanks…”
Gugas’s face returned to normal, revealing a bitter benefit. “If you were the one who came to garrison back then, perhaps the Tatar Kingdom would not have fallen to this point.”
“Are you awake?”
Kuro asked, “Why weren’t you burned?”
“The curse is different. I am not like them.”
Gugas did not move his head, but his eyes turned to the nearby doctrinal book and he said in a weak tone, “This book was given to me by a woman. It has a story about me. I will be stationed in this last place. In order to not let them suffer the bitterness of drinking blood, I will give them mercy.”
His so-called compassion, Kuro knew it was killing.
If he died, he would not feel pain.
Which means …
“You killed everyone in Tada Town?” Kuro asked.
Gugas smiled bleakly. “That’s right, I killed her. I thought I could defend it. I also saw ‘Witch’s Revenge’, that ability can’t affect me, but that woman, that woman…”
“That woman said that I would read the curse in the book and act according to the contents of the book. I didn’t believe it, so it became a reality.”
He looked at Kuro and said solemnly, “If you encounter a dark-haired woman who looks very evil, don’t, don’t deny her words. Pay attention to her verbal trap. What she said is false, but once you deny it again, the lie will definitely become reality.”
“Sipatia?”
Kuro narrowed his eyes. “Ah… I’ve already experienced it.”
“Is that so…”
Gugas smiled and said, “You stay here until daytime and everything will be back to normal, except for me…”
He turned his head and looked at the charred corpse that he had cut in half and sighed. “During the day, remember to apologize to Mr. Hugo for me. He is a very noble person. He broke the curse by his own will, but he was killed by me at that time.”
The life force of Gugas was gradually decreasing. He stared at the sky and murmured:
“Les, after going this far, you should be appeased. We did let Lisara down…”
His mouth was open and his eyes were open with a repentant expression, frozen there.
