Only 4 kids of the 20-odd group wanted to stay. These included Juro, Sebastian, a 15-year-old named "Malcolm," and a 16-year-old named "Jessamine."
'That means the blood of around 16 children will be on my hands,' Alaric thought. He realized that by now, he was truly descending into an evil place. Most royalty would find themselves in this direction, but Alaric knew he wasn't royalty yet.
He was just greedy. Alaric wanted to ensure that the future wouldn't be bleak, regardless of what was necessary.
If the remaining kids started talking about this to others, the damage would have already been done.
Alaric whispered to the 3 change slimes on his hand, "Kill the ones that left."
Immediately, the 3 rings on his finger transformed into ropes that stuck to the walls around him and flung away.
In front of Alaric, were 4 very confused kids.
Juro was the first to ask, "What was that? The blue things."
Alaric simply responded, "Slimes."
