After Felix's death, Elric quickly ran and was immediately chased by Patrol Soldiers.
But they were powerless because Elric was a 1-star knight, while they were only normal trained soldiers.

Elric found himself at a house in Eastside.
He knew he couldn't leave Eastside now because the gate to the Main area of Ironspire city had been closed.
While running, Elric heared someone calling him and was surprised to see the siblings that he had saved before seeing Chione.
They recounted how they were able to buy a house because of his help, and no one stole their money due to fear of the Guardian of Eastside.
Elric smiled at them, deciding to hide in their house for now since they were just children and no one would suspect he was there.
What Elric didn't know was that his bounty had quickly spread throughout Eastside, valued at 100,000 coins for anyone who could inform on him.
This was due to Chione's death, who was a top student at Ironspire Academy, hence the high bounty on Elric.
Knights from the Ironspire Army were also dispatched to kill Elric, and there was some 1-star knights.
The people of Eastside were shocked and couldn't believe Elric would do such a thing.
But they were also tempted by Elric's high bounty, regardless of his help to Eastside.
What mattered to them was the absence of gangs in the area so there was no need of Elric anymore.
They didn't care about Elric's help to them because of greed and only thinks about his high bounty.

That night, while sitting and leaning against the wall, Elric suddenly heard footsteps outside.
"So the kids that I saved sold me, huh... I wonder how much my bounty is." Elric murmured weakly.
Now he understood the nature of the world.
Humans and demons...
If we base it on a racial perspective, humans can sometimes become demons, and demons can sometimes be purified and become human.
Elric remembered the news he heard in his past life about a certain demon clan that was found by the heroes.
They looked like humans but could be identified as demons by their black blood and their tails and horns.
They said they had separated from the demon lord and wanted peace, but in the end, they were still captured by the heroes and taken to the Alvaran Empire capital.
There, they were publicly tortured.
But what if they were really good?
"Hahahahahaha..."
*puff* Elric spat blood as an arrow struck his right chest.
Arrows now rained inside the house.
Elric gritted his teeth.
"Before I die, I'll give you a good show."
Elric grabbed his sword and quickly cut down the arrows flying towards him.
