189 Evil Skills
While both the captains of the top 2 mercenary squads discussed the regions to clear, all the mercenaries from both the squads stood behind the captains and discussed their own things with one another.
"Members of the Demon Killer squad, let's move," Henriet led his squad members and went in the direction of the Cursed Abyss.
Whereas the members from the Blood Rose squad went in the direction of Cursed Wilderness.
...
"Senior Brother Paulin, you seem close to those captains," As they were moving towards the Cursed Wilderness, Ajax asked Paulin slowly.
"Yes, I know them from when I was 5 or 6 years old," Paulin stopped for a moment and thought for a second before answering Ajax.
"Oh," Ajax nodded his head.
"Do you want to know about them? I mean how they got their titles?" Seeing the hesitating Ajax, Paulin asked with a little smile as usual.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
"Yes," Ajax wanted to know about them after seeing their modest behaviors even when they were standing in the top position.
"Sir Henriet, got the title of 'The Demon Killer' when he entered into the demon world through a portal that appeared a few years back," Paulin stopped for a few seconds as though he was trying to find some right words to describe Henriet, but he couldn't find any.
However, he continued, "When everyone thought that he had died, he surprisingly came back with heavy injuries with few demon servants heads that had the strength of the general realm."
"What? He entered the demon world and even killed high-grade demon servants?" Ajax's respect towards The Demon Killer, Henriet, increased by another fold.
"After that event, he became from a rogue cultivator to a top mercenary and even formed a mercenary squad by his title which he eventually made into the number 1 squad in the whole Zrochester Province," Paulin explained how the title 'The Demon Killer' and that squad formed with a respectful tone.
"Before he became a top mercenary, Sir Henriet was a rogue cultivator?" Ajax was even more shocked by the newly revealed fact.
"Yes, however, he was very close to Edmond. So that's how I was close to them," Paulin stopped all of a sudden when he said those words.
"Big sister," Paulin also followed suit and greeted her.
"You young ones are faster and sensitivity towards your surroundings than I thought?" Rosa praised their speed and attention to their surroundings.
"Do you want to join my squad temporarily to clear those Demon servants?" Rosa winking her eye invited them to join her squad temporarily.
"Sur..,"
"We are good, Big sister. We wanted to experience some battles in the wild, so we can't join your team," Before Ajax could say something, Paulin rejected her straight away without giving any face.
However, there was a smile on his face when he rejected her, which made her surprised.
"You have finally grown into a big man, Little brother Paulin," Rosa smiled at Paulin and looked at Ajax for a second and left with a smile on her face.
"What happened, Senior brother Paulin?"
After she left, Ajax shook his head and looked at his surroundings as he asked Paulin.
"She has a special technique that she got from an inheritance ground which can hypnotize anyone if they are careless for a moment," Paulin explained about the weird state Ajax entered earlier.
"So, I was hypnotized by her earlier?" Hearing this, his previous respect for her decreased a lot.
In this world, there was a separate category for some skills that were called as Evil skills.
Under these skills, there were many skills which were hated by Human and would not accept those who cultivated them into society.
Unless you had sufficient strength, the humans who call themselves righteous would hunt you down.
Hypnotizing skills were the top among those evil skills.
So, when he heard that the Blood Rose hypnotized him, his face became cold.
"I thought, she was a good one but..,"
