Chapter 317 Human Slaughter!
Blood splattered everywhere, not showing even the least hint of emotions, Leo's White Tiger severed a few heads on the spot, starting a sanguine shower of madness.
'Wh-what is happening?!'
Seeing Leo's bloody dance, Jang-Do's sight turned blurry, everything shaking out of dizziness. His mind had silenced everything, but he could already imagine the resounding screams!
To make matters worse, Yeon stood up and imitated Leo's actions. The Black Heaven Jade danced at an even faster tempo, causing bodies to fall left and right.
'Was it the wrong decision after all? Did I follow and even help these maniacs to slaughter innocent people?'
Jang-Do could already see his fellow brothers and sisters panic in a fashion not too different from his, having countless negative thoughts about Leo and Yeon. However, none of them acted on their thoughts after reaching out for their weapons. After all, everyone on their own stood no chance to fight these Transcendent monsters!
It wasn't like Jang-Do didn't do his own fair share of killing other humans, but they were either scum that deserved it or people who willingly risked their lives in a fight of interests, but the ones that were losing their lives every second just like this were all innocent!(f)reeweb(n)ovel.com
The honest men who just welcomed them without any second thoughts, the village women and girls who brought out their limited meals and desserts, all of these were people that…
'W… Wait a second.'
In order not to let his quick response system react to what he saw, Jang-Do closed his eyes as he tried to follow up on that line of thought. These people… Weren't they just too nice?
'The monsters' scheme will reveal itself to you.'
The words uttered by Shadow Star's Dealer reverberated in his mind as he opened his eyes once more. The people who he believed to be innocent were looking at Leo and Yeon with extreme hostility that those who haven't shed blood wouldn't possess, they…
'Isn't this a very bad disguise?'
With his rationality's return, Jang-Do started thinking again and again. He still couldn't decipher or understand the whole hint, but these people were just too abnormal! Even if they were blessed with a protective environment, did it make sense for them to just let a large group of suspicious people in just like that?
With the large number of unsavory groups roaming the Murim, even an isolated town like this should have been a little bit wary, yet…
"Yong, take care of the group in the corner!"
Now that he started observing things from a new perspective, Jang-Do could see more and more wrongs. Rather than running away with their lives or asking for help from outside, those who had yet to fall under Leo and Yeon's blades joined up at the corner, looking like they were preparing to do something in response as their bodies shook.
"Just on time!"
However, Cheon Yong jumped out of his seat into a stance just in front of them!
Bang!
As if a large explosive had been detonated, an explosion of blood overtook the large room, the small hostile crowd reduced to nothing under Yong's fist. After honing his Red Dragon's Rampage for so long, his destructive ability had grown so much stronger!
"I suggest you get ready, we are going out."
A large cavity had formed in the walls, letting in the sunset's bloody rays that resonated with the slaughter that Leo, Yeon, and Yong had just committed. Cheon Sohee had kept her eyes closed without joining them so far, but she stood up following Leo's words.
'What should I do?'
Jang-Do felt like had a rough grasp on the situation, but he didn't know how he should act. Did these three even need his and the others' help if they could do all of this on their own? Was he supposed to move based on assumptions?
"We agreed that you would follow us for a reason, so at least try not to hold us back."
'Were these words for us?'
Jang-Do had subconsciously counted himself as one of the audience, thinking that Leo's original alert had been solely targeted at Cheon Sohee, but he suddenly realized just how impractical he had been about the entire situation.
'Right.'
"Everyone, get ready to face our enemies!"
"En-enemies?"
"Jang Hyung…"
The others looked as if their brains had stopped functioning, thinking that Jang-Do was referring to the fearsome demons standing in front of them. However, he moved out to walk by their sides, drawing his weapon in preparation.
Ever since the day he saw his classmate being made an example of during the first combat training, Jang-Do believed that it would be his closest brush with death and uncertainty. Nevertheless, he was being met with another situation that flipped his mind upside down at the moment.fr eewebn ovel.com
Still, he couldn't afford to stay flustered! He had to move about and deal with everything as it is, worrying about the result was another time's problem!
"Wait for me, Jang Hyung!"
"Me as well!"
Whether it was fear of abandonment or being forced to make a choice of their own. Almost everyone tied their ropes in with Jang-Do who had firmly made a stand. They knew well enough that not reacting was the worst reaction they could give…
"Let's see this through to the end!"
Awoooooo!
However, just as everyone strengthened their resolve, a terrible howl resounded throughout the town. The enclosed mountainous space only made it sound more terrifying as they stepped out of the feasting hall.
"Better brace yourselves, then."
Looking at the group that was mostly shaking in an instinctive manner, Leo unwrapped the Silver Dragon, preparing to unleash his full potential for the true battle they were just about to engage in!
Jang-Do's pupils moved quickly, trying to scan their surroundings as fast as they could. However, all he could see were the aggressive blue eyes that every single person in the town seemed to possess at this moment, staring at them as they shook like their deceased relatives.
'This is…'
The situation was finally becoming clear!
