"Hey... Leader ...so we are doing this...?"
"Yes ...of course...! That's right ...we'll take everything thing...hahaha... Let's go"
They were B-rank adventurers and their party leader was A-rank mid adventurers.
They were planning a sneak attack on the small village 'Naroki', it was less populated village Which consists of around 100 members, and its residents are mostly Demihumuns, few are elves, and few Humans, it is located at the border of the Holy kingdom near the Mountain range surrounded by a dense forest hence adventurer rarely seen here, as for their merchandise, villagers go to near town which 5 days far from Naroki village by horses, this village belongs to the Premium Kingdom but kingdom doesn't give too much attention to this lower-class village, and theses adventures belong to the Premium Kingdom, adventurers were requested by the village chief for wyvern subjugation near the village.
After the wyvern subjugation, adventurers were resting in an empty house that was given by the village chief for them as their resting place and for sleeping.
After the subjugation village, people delightedly welcomed the whole adventurer's party and made many dishes wholeheartedly because of happiness, surely it was a miracle to find any high ranking adventurer near the border range, villagers talked with adventurers, celebrated with booze (it is a low-quality Wine) for few hours.
In the middle of the celebration, one of the villagers talked about the wolf guardian spirit which was like a god for villagers, it was possessed by the village chief.
When party leader heard about this, he took interest in it, he came to a villager and set beside him, became friendly with him, a villager told everything, how strong wolf spirit is and how wolf spirit defeated many wyverns and how many years wolf guardian sprit has defended their village from monster attacks many times, villager also told that Wolf Spirit was Resting because of the previous fight with the den of wyverns and it was full of injuries, it takes almost few weeks for wolf spirit to fully healed.
The Party leader was already forming a plan for looting the village, but after hearing this he became excited and happy, it was a win situation for him, the party leadership decided that he will keep Wolf guardian spirit for himself. the reason they were staying here was so that they can easily loot this village, they have already seen village people have many rare and valuable things, so they formed a plan, where they will destroy the whole village after taking every valuable item and money and they were happy because there would be no Investigation if the village was destroyed due to location of the village which was near the border and surrounded by dense forest, near mountain range at the edge of both Holy kingdom and the Premium Kingdom.
There was one thing which was disadvantageous for the village, it was mostly populated by demihumans, both kingdom's people despise the demihumans hence there were no problems killing demihumans.
Demi-human are residents of the human kingdom but treated as lower class or slaves in the human kingdom. But they were still the kingdom's people if by chance someone investigated, hence they decided to slaughter every single villager.
In the middle of, when every member of the village was lost in sleeping, adventurers were divided into a group of 3 members.
Every adventurer group entered the house quietly and looted, and killed each family member.
As they advance they also burnt the house they looted previously, almost near half of the village was destroyed, adventurers killed every one children, women, and elders without discrimination, they killed everyone who came in their site as they advanced towards their direction, which was chief's house.
When the fire reaches to remaining villagers houses, they got out from their houses and felt fear, despair and cold sweats were being released by everyone's faces, this was hell for them and another thing Guardian spirit can't save them because it was resting, village people became frightened and they ran for their lives towards village chief's house, but adventurers wore devilish smiles & started to slaughtering women, children, men and elders, at the end they could not escape their death, but some of the villagers managed to escape and they briefly explained everything to the chief.
As heard Whole incident which caused by adventurers he is full of anger, his blood was boiling with hatred towards Humans, he was against the request for subjugation but he had no choice, wolf spirit was injured and villager could not fight those frightening wyverns, therefore he had request adventurer guild.
He cursing himself, but it was not the time for this, so he quickly calmed himself, gave orders to the remaining people of the village.
All the children, elders, women and men who were not able to fight have been killed by adventurers, the remaining people are all adults, and youths who are capable of fight these are the ones who managed to keep their lives intact from those vicious adventurers.
Every capable villager took their preferred weapons from the chief's house, they readied themselves for defence.
Village chief look at the corner of the room, he could see an innocent and beautiful face, the fine curved woman her body was trembling with anger and hatred, Her name is Elina, She is 17 years old, having blond hair, blue eyes, height 1.65 meters, having fine curved chest, she can make any man captivated with just one glare, innocent face wearing a white pinkish dress, she is a half-elf, she is born in between elf mother and human father.
" Elina....?"(chief)
The village chief called her, he looked at her, he could feel anger and hatred.
"Yes... grandfather.."(Elina)
Elina replied, she stood like a soldier who was ready for battle, she expecting her grandfather to let her fight against adventurers, but for her expectations that don't seem to be the case. the chief took off his necklace from his neck then handed Elina.
"Elina....take this.."(chief)
"But.. grandfather... how can I take this from... it's yours..."(Elina)
Chief handed his necklace to Elina but she tried to refuse, but chief forced her to accept the necklace, this is a magical item in which reside wolf spirit.
"Just take.... It is the something as last memory of your parents,...and also...Take this also.....it is the only our last hope.....if we want to save our village..."(chief)
"But...what is this crystal for?.."(Elina)
"This is something, I got this as present from my dearest friend 500 years ago, it is a summoning crystal, it will summon Angel from the heavens, but for this to be useable you have to go temple, as for our current situation I can't go myself, and there is nobody capable besides you and me, therefore, the right person for this job is currently only you..! " (Chief)
Elina accepted her grandfather's request, she was full of tears because and anger is also showing on her face, she has already lost her parents, they are not dead but captured by an unknown human organisation 12 years ago, she managed to escape with her younger sister because she hid in bushes.
But after few years some humans came to Naroki village in wanderers disguise but they were human thieves, thieves took her sister away from her and few other demihumans children away from their families.
Till then she swore herself to not trust any human.
She was initially against the human adventurers visiting their village but she had no choice but to accept them, she deceived herself that adventurers good people who help others, surely that was just her delusion.
Am I going to lose someone else again who is closed to me? No, it's different this time, if I can reach the temple and summon an angel, then... yeah! I can save everyone! (Elina)
But for achieving my goal, I have to reach the temple without being caught by the adventurers. (Elina)
" Elina....this very important task...you are our last hope..... we'll buy as much as time.... " (Chief)
"I understand... grandfather....I will return with an angle... take care yourself... until I return!"(Elina)
Elina calmed down herself and she understood her role, It was very important for the village and her family, therefore she headed towards the temple without any further delay, a temple which was 200m far from the chief's house to the opposite of rampaging adventurers.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
After Elina left the house, the chef came out of the house along with the remaining people, they were wearing armours and each has weapons, a sword, a shovel, an axe, a spear, etc.
The village chief stood in front of his house along with the remaining villagers.
After the village was fully destroyed and the Houses were on fire, most the of villagers were merciless killed and houses were looted by adventurers, finally, it was the time for the last part of their plan i.e, wolf guardian. Adventurers soon reached their last destination, the chief was already waiting for them, adventurers became excited about the battle, it was planned the chief's house would be last.
The Party leader and his Cruel comrades headed for the chief's house, chief and remaining villagers were fully combat-ready mode with their defensive stance and anger could be seen on their faces from afar.
" Stop..." (Party leader)
The leader stopped his comrades, and took few steps and stopped, he looked towards the remaining villagers and chief, and then surroundings started to smile.
"Hahahahahhaa....."(leader)
As the leader started laughing other adventurers also started laughing, but soon the leader became angry, and other adventurers stopped laughing, he could see the chief didn't show any kind of helpless reaction.
" Chief.....why don't you feel despair and beg for your life like others....I don't like your type people who don't beg for their life....you filthy demi-humans beg for your life.."(Mack)
The Party leader was angry, as he shouted.
" As..we would, we are not scums like you...we live with pride and die with pride..... " (Chief)
Chief replied angrily, he was gritting his teeth.
" Hmm.... it's no fun...I think you are wishing for death.... Yeah! I'll grant your wish...get ready.....show them a taste of hell..." (leader)
"For the sake of our village, for our future, for our precious family... Don't let them have their way as they want..."(chief)
The Party leader readied his sword and he ordered his comrades, as the same time chief alerted his people.
The leader kicked the ground and jumped in front of the chief aim for the head but the sword was stopped by the chief's sword with the sound of a ' thud '.
" Not bad....not good either.." (Mack)
A leader with a smirk complimented the chief's swordsmanship, but it was not enough to defeat A-rank mid adventurer.
Battle soon reached its end within half an hour, chief was standing fully tattered, surrounded by his people's dead bodies, they were massacred mercilessly.
Many sword cuts could be seen on the chief's body, blood was dripping from the cuts, he was fully exhausted and tired, he couldn't defeat the monster standing in front of him.
It was the time for the final blow hence leader took the instance and beheaded the chief, blood gushed out like a fountain from the headless neck, and the chief body dropped to the ground after few seconds it stopped moving.
After the battle was over and everything was destroyed, the leader looked around, as he laughed.
" Hey....you all..go inside the house, take every valuable item, money and don't forget to find necklace....." (Mack)
The leader didn't get any information about the whereabouts of the necklace, hence he ordered all adventurers to find the necklace and any valuable items.
Party members went inside the house and searched every corner of the house for an hour but couldn't find a necklace but they managed to find many valuable items, materials, money.
One of the adventurers came out of the house and informed the leader.
" Leader.....we were not able to find the necklace, but we only managed to get our hands-on items, material, and money nothing else, we searched every corner of the house......but we couldn't-" (adventurer)
The adventurer couldn't finish his sentence because of white light, it was coming from inside the temple, it was dazzling from white light.
Leader and all adventurers looked in the direction of the temple, Adventurers started to make fuss due to sudden incident.
"Everyone calmed down and stay alert...I think there is someone, I know who could that person be.... Chief's granddaughter... Gal! Use your detection skill and find if there is any a dangerous thing inside the temple..."(Leader)
The leader called one of the adventurers who was a mage, ordered him to use his detection skill, adventurer used his skill.
"Leader! There are two persons inside the temple one of them is a woman and another one is man, women looked strong as for man I could not confirm."(Gal)
"Is that so....I know what they are trying to do....they are passing their last moment in each other's arms, Everyone head towards the temple, and stay alert watch surroundings."(Leader)
All the Adventurers headed towards the temple without hesitation.
