Reincarnator – Chapter 170 : Embers (1)
“Huff…Huff.”
They had pushed themselves in order to capture the hostages in the midst of a fierce clash so they had all received a large injury.
The guard, Carlton, who had captured a hostage suddenly grinded his teeth.
But Dakidus wouldn’t have made them do this if he had won and the Atillan was the way it was supposed to be.
Badly enough to the point he needed hostages.
The others around them slowly started to surround them en masse.
They weren’t attacking him as if they were mindful of the hostage but the result was clear at this rate.
The injuries he had gotten when he had pushed himself to acquire a hostage during the battle suddenly throbbed.
Carlton raised the broken blade in his right hand onto the hostage’s neck and the shouted.
“Oh no, Mackill! You bastard let go of her!”
“Bastard? You want me to show what a true bastard is you bitch?”
As long as they had the hostages, the surrounding people won’t be attack them easily.
As to what would happen if they didn’t move out of the way.
“Look well! To what happens to this bitch! If you don’t move then from now on…”
But as Carlton shouted and was about to cut off the head of the girl called Mackill.
A tremendously loud sound roared in from the distance.
Carlton flinched after sending the tremendously vicious aura and looked towards there the sound was coming from.
“Uuuhkk!”
“Uaaa…”
A bloody storm that made one feel fear from just a glance.
That was how much the tsunami-like storm had freaked him out.
But Carlton forcibly suppressed his instinct which was screaming at him to run away.
He didn’t know what Hansoo had done but Hansoo had won and Dakidus had lost.
Hostages were the only way for them to live.
That Hansoo wouldn’t kill off every villager here including the hostages.
The size of the red storm which didn’t distinguish from friend or foe was just tremendous.
‘That’s all a fluke. A fluke.’
They were like this because they had no mana but once their mana came back, everyone here would be a tremendous force to be reckoned with.
There’s no way Hansoo would do such a thing if his brain was functioning properly.
But the storm had made him want to ignore his logic and run away, the aura of the storm was that vicious.
He couldn’t run away anymore.
As Carlton saw the red tsunami which had rushed all the way up to his face and crouched down while screaming.
The bloody storm just swept past them.
As well as Mackill who had been made unconscious by Carlton.
In order to defend themselves from the sudden, mysterious storm.
Whoooosh!
The red tsunami just swept past everyone’s body.
And then a change occurred.
Like fireflies being attracted to a light in the darkness.
It was like a storm when it was rushing through but as it sensed life, the small pieces of the storm swayed like smoke from the wind as they slowly but carefully started to shroud the people of the village.
‘Ugh…’
Since it didn’t really look like it was harming him for now.
‘Yeah. If it’s a trick then…’
The small red pieces Carlton praised, the spores, were constantly communicating.
‘Good.’
They couldn’t even be called spores anymore.
The trillions of spores swept throughout the entire vicinity, touched, sensed and checked over every corner of the world as they relayed and sent back the information they had gathered.
And these signals that were coming in were being reconstructed within Hansoo’s head.
A feeling of his body being extended by a huge amount.
He could feel the rage of the barely alive Dakidus and Ekidu who was looking around in shock.
He could feel the anxiousness and enmity the thousands of people had against each other and could clearly determine who were his allies.
But Hansoo, who had been standing with his arms open out wide, grasped onto his throbbing head as he fell onto his knees.
This was well past the information any human being could handle.
He had forcibly evolved the pandemic blade with the amount of mana that would’ve easily melted his body down if not for the body enhancement given to him by the Atillan.
Well, he may be able to use them but he wouldn’t be able to cover such a vast area.
‘End it.’
Clench
Hansoo’s will spread through the red cloud and spread in every direction.
Whoooosh.
Carlton unconsciously screamed out loud as he saw the red clouds that were suddenly going hectic.
No, not just the cloud around Mackill but every bit of red pieces around him were all rushing to him.
‘Hostage…’
Because the idea was so stupid.
Was he going to threaten the red cloud or something?
“Fucking hell!”
Carlton felt anxious at the red clouds surrounding his body and then subconsciously tried to escape out from them.
Whoooosh
Like dust being attracted by static.
In just a moment Carlton had been surrounded from head to toe by them as if he was covered by a red burlap bag.
At the same time.
Carlton started to scream.
There wasn’t one person who was excluded.
And everyone who had come out from the red cloud just watched this scene in daze.
“Damn! Why isn’t it coming off!”
As if they were trying to shake off any bit of the red powder they can.
The red powder covering their entire body had no intentions of dropping off.
“Uaaaa….”
By the red powders.
Since such small powders wouldn’t have any mouth.
But no other words but eat or devouring fit what was going on.
The people weren’t rolling from some random pain.
Very slowly from the outside.
Veins disappeared as the bones beneath came out.
It would be normal if blood came out but even that blood was getting devoured.
Since the red powder that was eating up the human was red like blood anyway.
The screams coming out from all around slowly reduced in number.
And as the disaster-like change had stopped.
The red powders which had devoured thousands of people all got sucked into the ground…
There were traces of people but no actual people.
“…”
And then washed away the chill they felt running down their body.
All the traitors had been dealt with and everyone who was held captive had been released safely.
Nothing could be better.
As rage disappeared, fear filled the empty space.
Karhal made a complex expression as he looked at Hansoo who was walking through the silent ruins as he tried to wash away the fear he felt.
