Chapter 106: (1)

[Its so horrifying.]

.

As they descended from the rocky mountain and arrived in front of the burning city, countless screams echoed from all directions, so numerous that one couldnt discern the owners.

Help us, please.

Someone, please! Help our father!

Priest! Our child isnt breathing! Please, help!

Among the people emerging from the city, few appeared unscathed. Most were either burnt or bleeding from injuries caused by collapsing buildings.

What was somewhat fortunate was that there were a few individuals who seemed like priests attending to the injured.

But with just those numbers, they wont be able to save half of them.

Unless the priests had infinite divine power, they couldnt rescue everyone. The probability was high that the screams, heard from all around, would end as soon as the priests divine power diminished.

At least hundreds, maybe even thousands could die.

The exact number of people within the city was unknown, but even now, people continued to pour out of the city, and just the ones who had already escaped the city gate numbered over a few hundred.

Id like to support them with potions from the store or something

Currently, he could afford only a few dozen potions with the G he had. Moreover, giving a small quantity of potions to them would likely cause chaos. In places overflowing with patients like makeshift hospitals, potions could be a source of greed.

[Kaiyan, what will you do?]Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

First lets go inside. We need to find out whats happening.

Stumbling over people coming out from outside, Kaiyan entered the city through the now burning-down gate.

As he passed through the gate and entered the citys interior, he was welcomed by an intense heat that made his skin burn, despite the cold weather.

Moreover, the citys interior was in much worse condition than what he had seen from the rocky mountain. Or perhaps, everything had collapsed and burned down while he was descending.

The only intact structure seemed to be the inner wall in the far distance. No, even that inner wall was leaning and partially destroyed. It didnt seem like a simple fire could have caused all this.

Buildings may have collapsed due to the fire but the flames spread to the inner city? How?

[It feels like monsters might have caused a commotion within the city!]

Upon hearing Riekas words, it seemed plausible that this was indeed the case.

K-Kaiyan?

The massive figure before him was Banson, the leader of the Banson Mercenary Corps, with whom Kaiyan had collaborated a few months ago.

Why was he here, covered in blood?

What in the world No, thats not important right now

Kaiyan quickly retrieved a potion from his pouch and applied it to Bansons wounds.

*Squish*

Ugh! Th-Thank you.

No, more importantly, whats going on? Why are you here?

Amidst Kaiyans rapid-fire questions, Bansons face turned bitter.

Its all my fault. I got greedy for money and brought these guys here when I shouldnt have.

What do you mean Oh, Banson, where are the others?

The others Bisel, Verium, Ka Damn! The Banson Mercenary Corps they all died because of me.

They died?

Kaiyan vividly remembered Bisels hearty laughter, and the fact that he was now dead, along with the other mercenaries, was hard to accept.

Kaiyan, I never expected to meet you in a place like this Get out of here quickly. There are monsters here.

What are you talking about? Please explain so I can understand. Why did the other mercenaries die?

As Kaiyan grabbed Banson by the collar and shouted, Banson looked embarrassed but finally opened his mouth.

When we parted ways and passed through the Louis Plains, we encountered three strange guys there. But when they heard we were mercenaries, they requested a mission. They said they would pay 3,000 gold.

So, we accepted the mission. It was incredibly easy compared to the 3,000 gold they were offering. We were blinded by money.

What kind of mission was it

Meeting someone other than the upper class in the Louis Plains was strange enough, but a 3,000-gold mission?
