With the rustling sound coming from the chains, the place had become dimmer.
"Hey... Look at that, something's coming to our village!" A yell from one of the townsperson. Because of this disturbance and eerie atmosphere, they are forced to leave their own house for quite a while to see what is happening.
"An enemy?" One of the guards has speculated.
"Magic Communication Skills: Capital!" Another guard has cast a spell that provides them communication to tell the officials about their situation.
"This is Hajime, yes, we've got a pretty serious state here. A bunch of people wearing black cloaks is seemingly trying to invade the village. What should we do?" He asked.
Multiple black horses are approaching the main gates. In front of them, was a person with red hair with a bunch of streaks and tattoos on his chest. He wears a black leather coat with two chained blades on his back. He raised his left arm and directly aimed it into the gate and the after that.
"Get out of my sight..." He softly said while smirking. A yellow-orange ball of light has emerged from his left hand. And in an instant, he blew off the gates and caused multiple explosions at once. Every wall has been destroyed instantly including the tower in which the two guards were staying. Dark smokes and clouds of dust began to erupt and caused the sky to turn darker.
Everyone was frightened by the sudden invasion of the organization.
Meanwhile, inside the capital.
"Captain Lennon!" A former military consultant went inside Captain Lennon's office.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Bad news! The organization has intercepted the town of Varga!" He exclaimed.
"What!" Captain Lennon pounded the table with his fist.
"They've destroyed the connection!" The consultant followed.
"Send these messages to our forces, tell them to gather around, and set a trip to the town of Varga. Make sure that they bring the weapons we've been making for the past month!" He ordered.
"Yes, Sir!" The consultant saluted in front of him as he left the office.
"Well well well, things are about to get interesting..." Lich said while sitting down. Captain Lennon returned back to his seat and decided to keep the paperwork on his cabinet. He sat down as he puffed his cigarette.
"Yeah, that was really fast. I didn't expect them to come nearby. Not to mention, they have been pillaging most of the town for their survival." Captain Lennon responded.
"Well, the Mana Zone program is probably the potential reason of why they are moving so quickly, I presume. But then again, I think it is also possible that they already know where to find the Demon Amulet." Lich said.
"What do you mean? They knew how to find it?" Captain Lennon asked.
"I don't know, but that's what I heard from the captive. I mean, it is expected since they've been doing an expedition for quite a while now while invading other towns." He responded.
"Lich... I'll go with them–"
"No. I'll go with them. Lennon, you're more capable of protecting this land more than I am. I will not let this land get devastated because of my negligence. That's why I'm going to join the forces. I will do my best to buy time as much as possible and gather more information about the whereabouts of that amulet." Lich stood up as he stared at Captain Lennon.
"What? But..." He's lost for words.
"Don't worry, if things got out of hand, I'll let you know as quickly as possible." Lich didn't hesitate at all. He left the room quietly without saying any goodbyes. Captain Lennon was dumbfounded about the current situation.
"Lich... Be careful out there..." He whispered into himself while looking outside the window.
Fast forward to the current scenario. The black horses have situated themselves in the field while capturing a lot of people and children.
"Go! Just round them up over me!" The red-haired guy said. Without the protection of the guards, the other people are forced to fight the darkness that has been inhabiting their own land. Some of them grabbed some pitchfork and tried to resist them but it is useless.
After a few moments, they've resorted to burning down the houses including the farm. Everyone was gathered around the field. Some are crying while others are still fighting for their lives. Without the use of magic, the townspeople are powerless against these dangerous enemies.
"Sir Rakuen! I've found the headmaster!" A member of the organization was hauling an old man. He pushed him on the ground. Rakuen, the red-haired guy approached him, slowly walking, the sound of the chains rustling around the ground continued to resonate. The fire was spreading all around the farm. The town was completely devastated.
Rakuen grabbed the old man by his hair, he continued to writhe and struggled to escape but he cannot do anything.
"Yo... I wanna make this quicker. Where is Melsh's Demon Amulet?" Rakuen asked.
"I-I'm not telling you! You've ruined everything!" The old man exclaimed.
"Very well, Kill those two men!" Rakuen ordered the execution of the two men that they have captured.
"Moon Magic Skill: Dark roots!" They cast a spell. Black roots have started to appear from the ground. It circulated around the body of the two men and it sucked out the soul leading eventually to a painless death. Their wives have screamed out of fear. They threw the body on the fire, burning them without any hesitation.
"NOO!" The old man screamed.
"Now, if you don't want me to end the lives of your beloved citizen, tell me where the demon amulet is. I'm going to count one to three." Rakuen warned him. The old man was still feeling pain after that moment. He was crying while he continued to writhe.
"One..." Rakuen started the countdown.
"Grandpa! Do not tell them! Don't tell them about the location!" Eita shouted.
"Shut up!" Rakuen had become irritated because of him. He aimed his left hand directly into Eita's position and started to cast a spell. The ground suddenly exploded but fortunately, Eita has survived it.
"Eita!" The old man screamed.
"Now tell me before I blew his head off!" Rakuen demanded
"I-It's in Giza." He softly said.
"What? I can't hear you." Rakuen exclaimed.
"The Giza Cemetery, the demon amulet of Melsh is located on the Giza cemetery." He said. Rakuen placed his head on the grass. He stood up.
"Alright, we're done here! Let them know that we're coming! Let's get the hell out of here before the higher-ups bring their reinforcements!" He shouted.
"Yes, Sir!" Everyone responded. They left the family and the child but some of them are badly hurt. There was no chance to stop their demise. The village was destroyed and some of them died. Everyone was completely destructed by what just happened.
