Chapter 379: The Hound of Nouvellebag (3)
Grrrrrrrr
Sakkuths pupil had no focus.
His face, like that of an owl, was turned sideways, with froth and saliva dripping down from the corners of his mouth.
No need for all this. Ill kill you lot and become a Level Nine. Thats how Ill make the boss take notice of me again.
The target of those crazed eyes was none other than Kirko and Garam.
Swish
Kirko laid her long knife horizontally and assumed a stance ready to spring at any moment.
But Garam still trembled, whimpering.
K-Kirko. Wouldnt it be better to run away now?
If we do, itll affect the guards in other zones. If it were anyone else, I wouldnt care, but with him, he might spread the plague to the entire district.
B-But still
If youre scared, you go alone, idiot. Ill fight.
With a look of disdain towards Garam, Kirko shifted her gaze back to the silent figure in front of him.
The distinct aura of a sword expert lingered around the tip of her sword.
It was an aura with a dense concentration, as if it could turn into liquid and drip down at any moment.
Seeing this, Sakkuth grinned widely.
Grrrr For someone born and raised in Nouvellebag, youre quite something.
In an instant, Kirkos expression changed drastically.
Though tension filled the air, cracks appeared in her icy and ruthless demeanor.
And Sakkuth noticed.
About twenty years ago, wasnt it? There was an incident where a prisoner forced a guard to degrade themselves. Because of that, the guards in Nouvellebag are especially sensitive.
Grrrk Grrrk Grrrk Heard they even had a product of that shameful incident born.
Sakkuth was poking at the trauma buried deep within Kirkos heart.
It became a trigger, igniting Kirkos rage.
Dont mock other people so lightly.
Soon, Kirkos sword shot forward like an arrow.
The aura with gaseous properties spread widely, slashing and piercing wherever possible.
It was an effective method against bulky prisoners like Sakkuth.
However. This was merely a form of punishment that instilled fear by causing bleeding and wounds over a wide area, not an ideal method to suppress a riot by prisoners prepared to die.
Grrrrrrrr!
Ignoring the onslaught of the broadside assault, Sakkuth leaned forward.
Like a frog born and raised in a well, youve never seen the outside world, have you? How dare you, fucking insect? Youre utterly useless, just die in this abyss!
With a chuckle, Sakkuth reached out with thick arms and grabbed Kirko by the throat.
.Ah!
Kirko attempted to retreat backward, only to be caught by the hem of her clothing by Sakkuth.
In an instant, the sharp teeth of Sakkuth were directed towards Kirko.
Kirko instinctively shut both eyes tightly.
At that moment.
Take back your words!
There was a trident suddenly thrusting out from the side.
Thunk!
With a loud noise, it shattered Sakkuths teeth.
Huh!?
Sakkuth staggered back, clutching his mouth with both hands.
Kirko, who had fallen to the ground, raised her head with a dazed expression.
There, she saw Garams back, which she hadnt expected to see.
In a moment of peril, Garam bravely stepped forward to protect Kirko, wielding the trident.
It might have been more impressive if his arms and legs werent trembling like leaves.
However, Garams voice did not tremble like his limbs.
Kirko is my colleague, someone I admire and respect! Youre not worthy to insult someone like her!
W-What!
For a moment, Kirkos ears turned red.
But Garam, focused on Sakkuth standing before him, didnt notice.
Grrrrrr
Sakkuth laughed, spitting out his broken teeth.
Then, with frothy lips, he glared at Garam.
Is it foolish Garam? Youre unusually brave today for a lowly dog of a guard, huh? Because of some unrequited love?
T-Thats not it!
A guard like you, whos so pure-hearted towards prisoners, seems to have quite a soft spot, huh? Does your crush know about that? That youre a weak and cowardly excuse for a guard?
No! Thats not true!
Grrrk Grrrk Grrrk Not true, huh? Well, in the aspect of offering something to prisoners, you and that bitch are quite similar. Whether its bread or body. Grahhhahahaha!
Ughhh!
Garam infused mana into the trident.
The mana, overheated from anger, trembled uneasily.
At that moment.
Enough.
There was a hand resting on Garams shoulder. Kirko. She stood calmly beside Garam.
Dont get caught up in the psychological warfare. He cant use mana. Hes just trying to unsettle us.
Oh! I-Is that so?
Yeah. Lets handle it together, just the two of us.
Garams expression quickly brightened at Kirkos composed tone.
Yeah! Thats right. Kirko, youre amazing as always!
Ugh, idiot
But seeing the rare smile on Kirkos lips, Garam felt happy.
However.
There was no typical heroic development like those found in ordinary adventure novels or boys comics.
Thwack!
The BDISSEM chain, sent flying by the swing of Sakkuths arm, lashed out like a whip.
Kirkos smiling face suddenly flew away,
Crunch!
Without even a chance to scream, Kirko fell backwards, her neck twisted at an odd angle.
She hit her head against a rock and collapsed.
Crriiiick
Blood spurted from her head.
Huh?
Garam stared dumbfounded, not yet comprehending what had just happened.
Laughing gleefully, Sakkuth walked forward.
Oh? Still alive? Impressive woman you are.
Sakkuth licked his lips intermittently while looking at the convulsing Kirko.
Youve got promising qualities. That blow just now was hard and if you manage to survive that, youll make quite the remarkable hero when youre older.
Soon, a sinister and lascivious desire gleamed in Sakkuths eyes.
It might be nice to crush such a budding hero in advance. Your face and body seem quite balanced, too
But before Sakkuth could take another step, Garam stood in front of the fallen Kirko, wielding the trident.
Hands off Kirko, Ill never let you touch her.
Grrrrrrrr
Ill protect her with my life. Shes someone I admire and respect
But Garams words were cut short.
Sakkuth punched Garam away as if annoyed, sending her crashing into a rock.
Shut your cringy ass up.
Thud
Garam slumped to the ground like a broken marionette.
Sakkuth chuckled.
Youre just a worthless grunt who cant keep quiet. Ive made a vow, staking my life. I must rise to Level Nine and regain the bosss favor.
Approaching Kirko with bloodshot eyes, Sakkuth prepared to strike.
But
Thunk
An unexpected blow from the trident struck Sakkuths shoulder from behind.
It was clearly Garams strike, lacking any strength.
?
Sakkuth turned his head in bewilderment to look at Garam.
A barely audible whisper came from Garams neck.
Dont touch Kirko
Veins bulged on Sakkuths forehead.
You annoying little
Sakkuth raised his elbow and viciously struck Garams chin.
Crack
The jawbone shattered, teeth protruding.
Splatters of blood scattered in all directions.
However
Thunk!
Garam fell, yet still managed to grab Sakkuths ankle.
To Kir ko
Youre quite persistent. Lemme have a good time with a woman for once
Sakkuth looked down at Garam lying on the ground
He revealed his bloodied teeth with a smirk.
When youre facing someone, you have to emit a fierce, concentrated energy. You have to aim it at one point with a strong determination to kill. Otherwise, youll just be like a worthless dog. Got it?
Having said his piece, Sakkuth shrugged off Garams weak punch and turned away.
He wasnt even worth killing.
Grrrrrr Well then
Sakkuth reached out both hands towards the fallen Kirko.
No, he tried to.
Kuoooooo!
If it hadnt been for the terrifying aura bursting out from behind, threatening to tear his throat out at any moment
Huh!?
Sakkuth instinctively covered his throat, unaware of what had just transpired behind him. The aura that had exploded from his back moments ago was truly beyond imagination, capable of not only tearing out the throat and heart but also penetrating the entire body tens or hundreds of times over.
With a face drenched in cold sweat, Sakkuth turned to where Garam had been.
Little foolish Garam.
Behind the fallen junior guard, there stood a prisoner of similar build.
This is how you emit that fierce energy.
The terrifying aura was emanating from him.
Vikir. Night Hound..
He had been silently watching over everything from behind.
