Chapter V: the devil

Both puck, Guts, and Gehrman went to the koka Castle and the soldiers were besieging them and pointing their weapons towards them, waiting for any movement from them.

Guts had wanted to talk to the owner of the castle and convince that he and Gehrman would get rid of the devil without the intervention of the soldiers. But, his plan didn't go as he wanted

One of the soldiers was scared of Gehrman's aura and the look he was looking at them like he was a predator waiting for Frist to pounce on her. He felt weak making Yuja wave a spear towards Germain

" what the hell are you looking" The soldier said and Ali directed a look of anger

Gehrman had lived enough to say that this person would attack him even if he didn't answer so Gehrman took out a scythe and he transformed it to a sword-like and slashed the person for two halves

It all happened so fast. No one was able to absorb what had gotten and all this under Guts and puck's astonished gaze

"I didn't know you had the ability to turn your sickle into a sword. This is new, but it seems like Anah is not the time to ask about this to get rid of them first."

Guts was waving the grandmaster's sword mercilessly and each wave killed at least two people while Gehrman was using a sickle that turned for a sword and a gun to shoot me soldiers

They both looked like demons from hell and were covered in blood of soldiers. Guts was tired after getting rid of all this amount of soldiers but Gehrman didn't look the attic of fatigue

Gehrman was used to killing monsters for non-stop days in Yarnam. He was the strongest and the first hunter in his world, Guts knew Gehrman was stronger than him, but the attic of annoyance didn't seem. They formed a strong bond after fighting many battles together.

"I don't know what the limits of your strength are, but I hope to get to know it in the future."

Germain said with a look of nostalgia and sadness on his face "This power was formed after killing many people whether they are enemies or friends, it is a curse I hope you don't go through like this experience"

"It's too late I already have my own curse." Gats said and he points out on his neck

"What are you two talking about after killing all these soldiers don't you have feelings" puck said and he pissed

"Are you still here insect"

"I'm not an insect. You're the insect." puck said to Guts

As the two were talking and Gehrman was smiling, an old person entered the the room with some soldiers , and when they looked at the soldiers' bodies a shiver spread across their spine

"You guys did something terrible you strangers will destroy this town probably because you guys killed these guys."

He said "you don't know how much the master of these men is terrifying he is not human"

He said with fear, "No one is able to defeat him, not a human at least"

"I get it if that's why you're doing this mold deal" Guts said sarcastically

"What do you know a stranger like you does not know anything"

Guts said angrily "I know everything, that monster eats humans I'm fully aware of that"

"And I know you send the food attic. We saw a tanker loaded with women and children when we entered the city."

"I I'm the governor of this town keeping it safe is my responsibility" He said while stuttering

"Aren't you destabilizing the security of this city yourself?"Gehrman said with disdain.

He remembered when the people of Yarnam lost hope fighting against the monsters and sacrificed some of them to be safe from the monsters. He hated them for that

"yo.. you, do it now kill them"

The soldiers came forward to attack Guts and Gehrman while puck hid and while they were fighting the soldiers

"prepare a horse I need to go somewhere immediately" The old man said and he order soldiers

In the meantime

"black sword man and syth holder?"

'I haven't heard of the owner of the scythe but the black swordsman could it be him'

A soldier stepped into their conversation. "I came to deliver a news, the town governor is standing at the gates and he is asking for your conversations."

"Get in"

After several minutes

"You didn't visit me from a while, governor."

"Can't we just forget this incident what happened to the soldiers has no matter to do with the town sir " the governor said

"I'll double the money and the people I send you so please"

"You look pale. You should probably worry about Your life this time isn't it, governor." The person said and he threw a severed hand to the governor who had panicked

The person said with a devilish smile, "I don't care about money, all Ilya cared about was hearing the sound of humans panicking and listening to the sound of their bones cracking."

The soldiers held the governor while he was screaming and trying to resist, they came out of the room in the middle of the person's devilish smile
