Blood Knight(4)

As soon as Blood Knight spoke the words "Blood Magic - Blood Incinerate," the veins of everyone within a 400-meter radius of him burst simultaneously.

Even those who attempted to flee before attacking Blood Knight were unable to escape the effects of the spell. Blood erupted from their bodies and ignited like fuel, engulfing them in a sinister red flame.

"AAHHHHHHH"

"W-what's happ-AHhhhhahhh"

The victims writhed in agony, rolling on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames.

Their screams echoed through the air until their nerves were completely burned to ash, leaving their tissues and muscles exposed.

Most died from suffocation before their nerves were even burned.

Morsan, on his thirteenth birthday, acquired the Royal Incubus bloodline, which enabled him to delve into the realm of self-created magic known as Blood Magic - Blood Incinerate.

This unique form of magic draws upon the same principles as Mana corruption. Utilizing his Soul Power (S.P) in conjunction with Blood Magic - Blood Manipulation, Morsan possesses the ability to harness demonic flame, fueled by the blood of his adversaries, to directly incinerate their bodies.

Remarkably, this infernal fire continues to consume its victims until Morsan chooses to retract his Soul Power, leaving nothing but ashes in its wake.

Blood Knight had many ways to kill his victims painlessly, but he chose this method to watch them suffer. He watched coldly as they cried out in pain and begged for mercy.

Morsan had not become sadistic or merciless over the years; he had simply learned that allowing criminals to live only caused problems for others. Three years ago, he had released people like these after they promised not to commit any more crimes.

However, the very next month, they burned down an entire village and kidnapped many people. Morsan realized then that these criminals had lost their humanity and that allowing them to roam free would only make things worse for innocent people.

Imprisonment did not work, so he began killing them whenever necessary. When he remembered what victims had gone through, he couldn't see these bandits as humans anymore. He only felt like cleaning the trash in his house as they died gruesomely.

After the demise of all the bandits, he meticulously combed through their amassed treasures and tidied up the cave before making his exit.

He noticed it when one of the members of the bandit group stumbled upon their secret hideout when Morsan looked into the magic crystal ball.

As he emerged from the cave, he witnessed Vigeil perched on a rock, his soul departing from his lifeless body.

This was not an unfamiliar sight for Morsan, as he had witnessed countless individuals succumb to mental anguish upon learning that their loved ones had fallen into the clutches of corrupt and powerful individuals.

Despite the agonizing screams and torment of the bandits, he heard a moment ago, Vigeil's countenance remained devoid of any emotion.

Vigeil gazed at him with vacant eyes and inquired, "...Sir Blood Knight, is my sister... alive? Can she be saved?"

"Yes, she is alive and can be rescued,"

Morsan promptly replied, even though he was merely a pawn in the grand scheme to draw out the culprits from their hideout. The prince's shadows should have discovered the whereabouts of his sister. Morsan had unwavering faith in their intelligence-gathering capabilities.

They were the true force behind the punishment of corrupt nobles.

He was certain that Vigeil's sister was alive, as she was a valuable good in human trafficking and slavery for those corrupted individuals. They would not harm their valuable assets.

Vigeil's eyes welled up with tears upon hearing Morsan's assurance. After pursuing him for some time, they finally arrived near Hifro Village.

Morsan simply needed to hand over the evidence he had gathered from the bandits to the leader of the prince's shadows, and they would take care of the rest. He only had to assist them when necessary.

However, just as they were about one kilometer away from the village, they found themselves surrounded by soldiers from the border town. More than fifty soldiers surrounded them in all directions while vigilantly pointing their weapons at Morsan. .

"HALT!!!.."

One of the soldiers with a spear in his right hand came forward as he gestured his men to wait for a moment. By the reaction, Morsan guessed he must be their captain or commander for their unit.

"Sir Chreg!!"

Morsan raised his eyes when heard the low voice of Vigeil as he looked at the figure of a man who wearing full-plated silver armor, with blond hair and blue eyes.

'So is he the one that bandit leader talked about huh?'

Morsan rolled his eyes in annoyance as he figured out what was going to happen.

A man named Chreg looked at Morsan with cold arrogant eyes and a smirk on his face as he showed a scroll that was embedded with a noble degree.

"It is an order from lord Erfin, Blood Knight, you are under the arrest due to the suspicion of recent people missing and human trafficking to the Siltvelt. We also suspect, you mentally manipulating the body named Vigeil using your magic. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Vigeil, who had been in a state of emptiness all this time, snapped out of his daze upon hearing him.

"H-huh? Suspecting human trafficking with Mr. Blood Knight?!... What nonsense are you spouting?! When I pleaded with all of you to find my missing sister, you did nothing to help me. You did nothing to locate missing individuals, nothing about the bandits in the mountain area all these years, and now you're attempting to arrest Mr. Blood Knight, who is assisting me in finding the real culprit and my sister... by framing him... Haha... so it's true!! You... all of you were the true culprits all along. CHREG... WHERE IS MY SISTER?!!"

His eyes turned bloodshot as he shouted. Despite the soldiers' intimidating presence, he attempted to lunge at Chreg, who was a prime suspect in his sister's disappearance.
