Finally, the day had arrived, with the morning sun casting a warm glow over the entire Jade Dominion. They headed towards the lower town, where the usual swirls of slavery filled the air. However, there was a noticeable tension among the residents following the events of the previous night.
"Hey, why are there several carriages arriving here?" one of the pedestrians asked the nearby old man as a series of carriages belonging to noble men arrived.
"Did you hear that one of the managers from the auction house was murdered last night?" The old man with squinted eyes and a wrinkled face glanced toward the man who had just inquired, only to find a bulky bald man looking towards the carriages.
'I see, so they are from the Administration' Bone Breaker concluded before turning and leaving the area. He walked towards an alley, passing through several individuals in the crowd who were there to watch the event.
'The young master's brilliance surpasses even the brightest stars in the sky,' Bone Breaker thought to himself as he gazed up at the clear morning sky, recalling the lines he had prepared to say the moment he met the young master. With six other lines ready to impress, Bone Breaker felt confident in his ability to save himself in any situation.
On exiting the alley, his eyes fell on a black-robed man and a white-dressed woman standing near the pathway, looking in his direction.
'?!' Sprinting towards them, his entire body dripping with sweat, he took a leap with his knees bent and kowtowed directly in front of the black-robed man, shouting, "Stars Brilliance outshines Young Master—I mean..."
'Damn it, damn it, damn it!' Bone breaker felt his mind finally pause as he tried to recall the dialogues he remembered all the way here. 'I can't remember!'
'Are they still following?' Ignoring the man who knelt before him, Ryuk observed his surroundings with narrowed eyes, remembering an event that had occurred just a few hours earlier. System had detected an enemy nearby, who seemed to be using a technique to conceal themselves in another space.
However, before Ryuk could locate the individual after the sword attack he made, they managed to escape.
[ No, Host, but it is highly unlikely that an individual would survive after losing his head even if he was at the Body Integration Realm. ]
Yeah, whoever that individual was, Ryuk had used all his strength to imbue his Aura sword with Ether and launch an attack in the direction where System had detected the presence, though his sword streak disappeared in some dimension along with that person.
[Could it be that his body integrated his sliced head because he was in the Body Integration Realm? HAHAHA, Did you get the joke, Host >.< ]
However, the sky above the Jun family's estate seemed to be trembling, especially the area above the main palace of the Jun family.
"Hubans, why isn't your guardian arriving?"
A child with horn-like protrusions on his head and dark, strikingly dilated pupils sat on a chair, gazing towards a few terrified individuals kneeling on the floor. Their eyes trembled as they were overwhelmed by the strong stench of blood that permeated the entire hall.
"Th-this, S-sir, W-we", All the individuals wearing the high-quality robes, appearing to belong to a high-status family within the Upper Town specifically, the family known as the Jun family, seemed uncharacteristically humbled despite their usual pride as the strongest family in Upper Town.
They were gathered at the mountain peak of their central palace, where few intruders had entered just a few days ago and were about to be given judgment.
"Keke, did sobeone just wet their pants?" Belial pinched his nose as a stench of urine assaulted his nose. His grin widened as he looked at the robed men who had appeared prideful moments ago, displaying their status as elders of the family. Now they lay broken and bloodied, with some even wetting themselves.
"Ah, no, did you poop your pants too?, Haha" Belial stood and walked around the figures lying down, laughing as he noticed that one of them was wearing a white robe with yellow marks near his butt, indicating human waste.
"Snot, tears, urine, and now you've even pooped! Keke, how typical of a huban," Belial laughed as he placed his legs on the face of a white robed, bulky man who had several cuts all over his body and was drenched in his own bodily fluids, whether it was blood, mucus, or urine.
"Krghh?! H-help" The large man could only cry and reach out his hand in hope of being saved, but all he saw was the devil's mocking smile as it rubbed it's shoe on his face.
'How could this happen to us?' The old man, with a long white beard and hair, kept looking at the floor, which reflected a unwrinkled face due to his strength, making him appear young yet experienced. However, faced with absolute strength, he was humbled enough to kowtow just to protect his family from these monsters.
Right now, despite being strong enough to kill this devil, he felt more threatened by the presence of two individuals accompanying this demon.
'We just have to wait for Ancestor to defeat that monster!' Feeling somewhat positive that the Jun family still had their strongest individual remaining to go against those who were trying to harm the thousand-year-old legacy of the Upper Town's strongest family.
The old man had decided that once the family's Ancestor killed that incarnation of darkness appearing similar to the Demon kings known as Rakshasa, he would deal with this tongue-twisted devil and the nine-tailed woman present inside this place.
