Slowly Tsurugi's footsteps approached him, a gaze filled with anger radiating.
The soldier continued to sweat, his eyes catching splendor of horror within Tsurugi's body.
"You know I'm very grateful to you!"
"Eh?"
"Thanks to you, so I now remember what my real goal was, I almost forgot to do what I should have done!"
The soldier tried to control his breath. "Are you going to let me live?"
Tsurugi was silent for a moment, his eyes continued to emit very high anger.
"Give me a reason why let yourself live?" asked Tsurugi.
"I have a wife and children, if I die they will be sad! I will also promise to pay through all the sins I have committed today!"
Tsurugi's eyes saw a smile filled with a hopeful gaze. "Fine, but I'm not a creature here who would be able to see you being able to keep that promise! You know, death is the most beautiful thing I can give someone!"
The sword from Tsurugi's hand instantly slid into that man's face.
Crash!!!
From the mouth to the throat that sword stabbed in, blood continued to flow profusely.
"Hehehe… do you understand I am a being who will never forgive?"
Before his life was lost, that man saw Tsurugi's eyes filled with great power. The man's body began to emit white smoke that entered Tsurugi's body.
"So I still have the ability to absorb someone's soul! Alright, with this ability I will make all beings who have wreaked havoc in this world get regret!"
Everything that happened made Tsurugi couldn't stop, after that, he started to approach Layza's corpse. That girl suffered at the end of her life.
"Uhm… I hope you will peace on there!"
Tsurugi buried all bodies he could find, he offered prayers to the souls of those who might find peace.
Now Tsurugi has made up his mind, from the very beginning he had to carry out a task to become death for sinners.
He was also quite fed up with the world that was always full of suffering, he hoped to be able to eradicate the source.
***
A man with several soldiers had just arrived at the village where Layza and the other residents lived.
However, there only left the mark of a terrible event. The whole house was already on fire, they found nothing but the corpses of the soldiers who had been eaten by wild dogs.
The smell of those corpses pierced the noses of those who were there.
"Commander!" A soldier who had previously been assigned the task of inspecting the surrounding area had returned, the tone of voice coming out of his mouth signaling something important.
"What wrong?" asked the man in a firm tone.
"We saw there is a cemetery to the north of this village!"
"Burial?"
Quickly that man came to what the soldiers said, there was indeed some wood stuck in the ground as a sign that it was a funeral.
"That means someone already got here first, but who? Was it that adventurers or knights who accidentally stopped by here?"
Whatever he said was unacceptable to his own brain, the location of that village was quite remote and located in the deepest part of the mountains.
Few adventurers or knights will ever find the village, but anything could be possible due to fate who knows.
A woman was walking into the room, she wanted to meet an old friend in arms with her.
"Long time no see!" said the woman in a friendly tone.
He turned his head. "Oh… you are, what brought you here?"
"I'm here to ask what happened these past few days! You must have noticed, as the strongest knight, you already understand the aura and energy that suddenly appears!"
Slowly his eyes narrowed. "Yes, terrifying power energy! Will this world again be shaken by destruction like before?"
"I don't know! However, if that were to happen then our strength would be needed!"
"Yes, I understand that! No matter how much we struggle, there will still be many who die in this world!"
"We can only try, the last one determines of course he is the owner of destiny!"
***
Tsurugi was silent while staring at the fire in front of him. It had been several days since that incident, but what had happened could still be seen in his eyes. Screams and faces full of pain continued to play in his head.
His eyelids began to stare at his hands. "This power is a given fate!" He actually didn't like what was happening, he wanted to move on without having to fulfill anyone's wishes. However, he will still find suffering that will only become a regret. "Alright, I'll take what he wants! Now I want to know where I am right now, how long has it been since that incident!"
The next day…
Tsurugi stepped back, and he had found civilization. There the atmosphere is quite crowded, with several people passing by.
There were several moments when he saw slaves being abused, Tsurugi tried to avert his eyes, this was too painful for him to see.
From a distance, his eyes saw a palace that was quite majestic, a building so large that the eyes would always be on it.
A rumbling sound was heard, just as the cavalry had just crossed the city. Tsurugi felt something strange from that man who passed in front of him.
"What is this? Why do I feel that he is no ordinary person!" Slowly his eyelids narrowed.
***
Arriving at the palace, that man quickly went to the throne room.
The tall man was already seated, with a sharp gaze. He stared seriously at a Royal knight who had just returned.
"Your Honour! I was a servant have returned from doing the inspection!"
"How? Did you find anything?"
"I found out that the village has been attacked by the royal side!"
The king became annoyed hearing this. "What to do, will this end in a big war?"
That man couldn't answer it, he was confused about it. It was all too clear this would lead to a very big conflict.
The news that happened was also bad news for them, the harvest that was supposed to be sent to the kingdom had to be hindered.
The losses created will certainly be a problem that is difficult to solve. Right now the condition of the surrounding area is experiencing terror from other kingdoms.
Every area is under a lot of pressure.
