Dain and the party follow the two creatures. As they walk longer, the dark miasma become thicker. It makes them suffocate and weak.
After that they saw the huge towers that releasing dark miasma. There are creatures they never seen before and undead beings roaming around the place.
Finally they arrive at their destination.
The huge throne that looks so grand and there are also mysterious runes on it. On the throne, the humanoid shadowy creature sitting.
It looks so intimidating as even looking it gives them goosebumps. They will even belive if someone said the dark god itself descent.
"We bring them as you command your majesty."
The two creatures kneel and said respectfully.
"Good work, you didn't let me down."
The adventurers and mercenaries feels chill in their spines when they heard the dark voice that coming from the so call king.
"So what should I do with you guys."
Killian asked to Dain's group.
The adventurers and mercenaries tremble and cannot even speak.
Dain gather his courage and kneel in front of Killian.
"Please let them go. I will do anything."
"Oh, who said you have such a value and why would I let go of the prey I caught."
Dain feel Killian's gaze. He can feel the pressure on him.
"Please this is my fault. I lead them here, they have nothing to do with this. I will take responsibility. I will do anything. Please let them go."
Dain beg for mercy. He cannot see what expression Killian have right now. He don't know that thing can even have feelings. He was very scare and sweating. But he has to do this for his fellow party members as a leader.
The other members are looking at him with respectful and regretful eyes. However, they didn't have courage to say anything. They can only look at their great leader.
'People who can sacrifice themselves for the others are always respected and successful. That's what hypocrites would said to have more people sacrifice for them.'
Killian sneer. He never believe such things.
"I already suffer from those fools in my past life."
He then raise his hand and the shadows from his body wrap around Dain's body. Dain surprises but he doesn't resist. Killian is looking into Dain's memories.
"So this is so call chaos powers but my powers are not very strong so I can only draw his memories forcefully. After this he will lose all his memories."
But Killian doesn't care what happen to Dain. Who cares about some memories of the defeated prey.
"So they are adventurers from Kingdom of Laria. This guy is a veteran adventure and knows a lot of thing."
Killian got many information about this world from Dain.
He then look into the minds of other adventurers and mercenaries. But they don't have much knowledge like Dain.
He killed all of them and turn them into chaos essence. He has no intention of letting them go from the beginning. If he let them go these guys, they will spread his existence to the world.
Killian don't want the world to know about him yet. He has to kill them. Only the deads are clean.
Even if these guys didn't return, the kingdom will only think the wave is strong. Speaking of the wave, I think it was because of us. We are killing almost everything we see in the forest thus the monsters are fleeing from us.
If so I would need another source of chaos essence. I have a perfect idea for that.
Killian think as he smiles.
