Chapter 575: Attack(3)
The trick that the team would be using to sneak into the area that held the hostages was by broom under invisibility. It was disturbing how rarely people actually check above them for things so flying silently over the camps and straight to the hostages was a genuinely good idea. The team of course brought extra brooms so that that hostages could fly away as well and waited high up when Nick took the lead to fly towards the war bands camps openly. An alarm went off when he was spotted and it didn't take long for most of the people to gather up with three people clearly leading them.-
"So you came to give yourself up then? Why don't you come down here and let us take those wonderful things you have on you nice and easy? Unless you don't care about the hostages that is?" One of the leaders said. It was a grizzled looking old wizard that Nick looked at in disgust with how filthy his soul was. Obviously it was a dark wizard that decided to live out his ambitions for conquest. "You are mistaken about something. I am not here to surrender but to stomp out a pest that doesn't appreciate the mercy I gave them last time." Nick said coldly.-
He played it off well though as he sucked in copious amounts of mana with each breath to try and restore that which was lost but it was slow going. As more and more people lost their souls it grew progressively quieter until there was only the sound of the wind blowing and the horror of all those spared that fate having witnessed it. Some fell to their knees to beg forgiveness and others tried to flee but the same result was achieved , death.-
Nick coldly used the least amount of magic he could to end the lives of each and every person present regardless of if they surrendered or not. The team rescued the hostages during this chaos and they all watched as Nick single handedly passed judgement on the lives of those in the war bands. It was a shocking scene to watch as though death personified had come to claim it's due as Nick strolled forward in a calm even pace with each step meaning the end of one or more lives. Even worse was they could see the bright lights exiting the bodies as Nick extracted the souls casually as he went.-
"This isn't a battle , it's a massacre." Sirius muttered and none of those flying next to him could bring themselves to disagree. "Not even death saves them from him , what a monster." Someone said and they all remained quiet not able to deny it. By the end of the next hour all that was left of the war bands that came here was a collection of dead bodies , empty tents and ownerless equipment.
