Chapter 82:"Fall"
(+18)Warning: Contains disturbing scenes
Ethan just nodded and as he sped away, he noticed that many people had already blocked his path. Looking to his right, he saw that the last remaining Asina soldiers were being defeated, and enemies were surrounding Richard. Richard was fighting desperately, and fortunately, the enemy soldiers didn't want to kill him.
As Ethan desperately tried to find a way out, he noticed some cavalrymen rapidly approaching him and saw archers targeting him. He had only one chance left: to escape from another side. Ethan quickly kicked his horse, and it started to run. There was only one place he could go, and that was towards the swamp, but he had no other choice.
As Ethan rapidly headed towards the swamp, some cavalrymen were coming after him. The enemy cavalrymen started shooting arrows at Ethan using their bows, but because of the heavy rain, hitting the target was very difficult. As Ethan continued to advance, barely able to see ahead, he realized he was approaching the swamp. Since the swamp was surrounded by tall trees, he had to get off his horse.
When Ethan slowed down, he didn't know that he had become an easier target for his enemies. A cavalryman tightly gripped his bow and squinted as he aimed. When the arrow left the bow, there was nothing to stop it. When Ethan was hit by the arrow in the back, he fell heavily from the horse, and the horse, unable to endure the situation, ran away, leaving Ethan alone.
The enemies surrounded Ethan and dismounted from their horses, approaching him. They already had their swords ready in their hands. They slowly approached Ethan, ignoring the restless murmurs of their horses.
"Capture him alive, but it doesn't matter if he's injured. He'll be executed by our great king anyway" said someone who seemed to be their leader.
Ethan stood up and drew his Demon Sword. One of his arms was already injured, and he was quite exhausted from the battle. Moreover, because of the arrow he had taken in the back, just maintaining his balance was an achievement for Ethan. Finally, Ethan attacked the enemy on his right side and after a few strikes, he cut off the enemy's arm. The others quickly attacked Ethan, surrounding him.
Ethan continued to swing his sword desperately, but his body was begging him to stop. 'No, I can't die here. I can't die here' ' Ethan thought as he tried to resist the attacks coming from all sides.
Finally, using all his strength, when he managed to push back his enemies a little, he started to run away quickly. As he ran without looking back, he didn't realize he had entered the swamp, because the swamp had turned into a graveyard.
There were bodies everywhere wearing the armor of the kingdom of Asina, and some of their faces were clearly visible, The fear. These were the soldiers who ran desperately to the swamp when the battle was lost, and their bodies filled the entire swamp.
As Ethan ran over the bodies, he heard the footsteps of the enemy coming behind him, but couldn't look back. On the one hand, he was trying to escape and on the other, trying to balance, but at that moment he felt an unbearable pain in his whole body.
She couldn't move her feet, and no words came out of her mouth. When Ethan looked down, he saw the sharp tip of the sword, and at that moment, he realized that the man behind him was doing it.
The sword entered Ethan's back and came out of his belly. It was obvious that such a wound was fatal.
When the enemy drew his sword, Ethan fell on the bodies, blood gushing from the wound. Ethan tried to talk, but the only thing that came out of his mouth was blood. He tried to climb the bodies with his last strength and somehow wanted to escape from here. He desperately asked someone to help him, and his mind was constantly calling to God for help.
But help didn't come...
"You've bothered us a lot, prince, but it's time for you to die."
"Wait a second, we won't get a reward if we kill him!"
"That's right, but do we have another way? He's already dying."
The enemy soldier looked at ethan quietly and saw the darkest side of humanity on his face.
"Then he can do the job."
"What? Are you serious? With a man? "
"So what? Besides, he's not a normal man, his a prince and you can't fuck a princess."
"I believe you and I don't know why I'm friends with you."
"Come on! Imagine fucking a royal. You might not get another chance and if you don't want to do it, you can go! I'll join you after I'm done."
The soldier approached Ethan and started walking over the bodies with a disgusting smile.
'No..., no! Why did you give me this life again and now you're taking it back? Why? Why? Why? Why do you allow this? Why do you allow evil?' Ethan tried to find an answer to these questions in his mind as the disgusting, vile enemy soldier continued to approach him.
At that moment, the darkest side of humanity came to light. On the one hand, piles of dead bodies, and on the other, someone who didn't mind committing a heinous crime just for his own pleasure.
Ethan cried for the first time in this second life, a victim of the world's disgusting justice system. When the enemy soldier got close enough to Ethan, he bent down and reached for Ethan. Struggling to move, Ethan desperately tried to pull away with his hands.
Ethan desperately wished to escape this disgusting place and prayed for someone to help him.
'Please, whoever can hear me, please, please, please, please help me. I beg you.'
At that very moment, a terrible sound began to rise. Darkness quickly enveloped the area and the sword with an eye on the hilt rose into the air.
The eyelid opened, and the red eyes looked directly at Ethan. Surprised, the enemy soldiers cried out in pain. As darkness completely enveloped the area, Ethan used his last strength to look at the enemies behind him.
He saw that the enemy who was about to rape him had turned to ashes, screaming. How great was his enemy's pain that he cried out in such agony? Ethan had never seen people screaming in such pain. When he finally looked towards the sword, he realized that the sword had begun to change form.
The legs of the sword on the corpses began to grow and he stood up, stepping on the corpses. When his body was revealed, Ethan looked at it in astonishment. It was black and blood red, resembling a demon. It was almost five meters long, and though the wings between them were misshapen, it stood there proudly, adding to the glory of its owner.
The demon had four appendages on its head that could be called horns, but they were purely aesthetic. While two of the horns looked up from the top of its head, the other two emerged from under its chin. With all its splendor, it looked at Ethan with its red eyes and held the sword Ethan had used in its right hand. He lowered his neck to look at Ethan and looked at him with an emotionless expression.
When it finally started to speak, Ethan's hair stood on end, so much so that he had even forgotten the unbearable pain. The demon's voice was harsh and hostile, yet it sounded perfect. Only one word had come out of its mouth, but it was still very effective.
"Fall..."
