Arthur was presently busy in crossing the damaged mountain path and was hanging off the aspect. In his place there as no manner he might give attention to anything and therefore did not notice the motion occurring down within the forest.

The place the place the Night time Slayer had died had turned rotten black.

If one checked out it from afar they might suppose that it was burned and scorched black, but it surely was not so. Upon approaching, they might odor the stench of rot.

It was unusual because the grass and crops would not launch such a rotting odor on their very own. Even the very soil was rotting because of the cursed energy that was tainting the land now.

A cracked nice sword was additionally embedded there, regularly leaking darkish vitality from it. The cracks on it had gotten greater and chips of the blade had already fallen off. About ten % of the nice sword was already gone.

They have been coated in a protracted black gown that hid all of their physique. Solely two hanging silver eyes could possibly be seen below the hood.

“Mmm… This can do finely.” A chilly but alluring voice that was laced with domination could possibly be heard.

One might inform that it was a female voice and had come from individual on the horse. Arthur would have by no means thought that the unknown one that had terrified him was a lady like this.

The gown slid off barely and a hand was revealed. The hand was slender and had a caramel coloration. Lengthy black nails that have been finely formed might seen together with unknown runes that have been painted on them. Obscure tattoos is also seen wrapping round her arm and going up.

Although it wash arduous to inform simply how far the tattoos went.

The girl turned her hand and made her palm confronted upwards.

“Edax Oculus.” The girl chanted.

As quickly as she did, an orb fashioned over her palm. The orb was black in coloration and had a glowing deep purple define. And within the middle of it, a shining pink pupil opened!

The pupil turned and ‘noticed’ the realm earlier than opening vast.

A powerful suction power could possibly be felt and all of the mana within the air began to surge into it. However that wasn’t all because the unusual rotting vitality tainting the realm was additionally pulled together with it.

The suction power lasted about ten seconds after which the rotting vitality had been cleared out. The realm that rotten black earlier was now barren.

No grass or crops could possibly be seen there with dry soil and dust left behind. Even the damaged nice sword had been drained of all of the vitality.

~CRUMBLE~

Having been drained of its vitality, the Nice Sword might not preserve its type and crumbled into rusted fragments.

The realm now stood out because it was the only barren patch within the huge inexperienced expanse of the forest. Although there have been additionally patches of burned plant and bushes there too.

Surprisingly sufficient, the fires that had been burning fiercely a few minutes in the past had all died down and never even embers have been left. Solely chilly cinders and white ash have been left behind together with bushes that had partially became charcoal.

The orb like eye stopped absorbing vitality and the pupil inside it returned to its regular measurement.

Subsequent, the lady closed her hand letting the orb disappear into her palm. The runes on her nails glowed for a bit earlier than calming down.

“Not sufficient.” The girl spoke with disappointment in her voice. “Want extra cursed vitality… this prey was higher than earlier than however I want extra… much more.” She muttered in need.

A second later she went silent and regarded as much as the place Arthur was. The person was busy crossing the mountain path and did not know that the terrifying individual was him.

The girl’s silver eyes glowed for a bit earlier than they dimmed down. She narrowed her eyes, as if a bit confused.n-(O(-v((e//l)/b–I)-n

“Unusual man… By no means felt an aura like that earlier than… little bit of a person… little bit of a dragon…” The girl paused, her curiosity growing with every phrase. “And a little bit of divine…” One might faintly really feel the thrill in her voice.

“What ought to I contemplate him as? Hmmm… a prey? No, that might be a waste… Gasoline? It is likely to be good, however I can discover others that’ll serve the identical goal.” The girl casually considered Arthur’s destiny. “A pawn then… however this one continues to be weak… want to attend until it’s at the least a ‘rook’.” She determined as a devilishly beautiful smile could possibly be faintly seen.

Her face might barely been seen, and anybody who checked out it at that time can be captivated, falling into love. Reverse from her terrifying glare earlier, her face now exuded a robust attraction.

Her deep pink lips curved whereas dimples fashioned on their sides, accentuating her magnificence.

It was solely a disgrace that there was nobody to witness it.

Nevertheless it may also be higher for everybody, as anybody that noticed it might be trapped by it, their destiny unknown after that.

“I will see you sooner or later… Little pawn.” The girl stated earlier than the horse galloped away.
