Chapter 561 Cap 559: With Good Intentions Hell Is Full(Chapter Preview)

I look up at the tower knowing Layla was the last to notice something everyone else had already noticed, but what I've been thinking for a while is that it must be this six-pointed star-shaped gem these people want, maybe it is that's why they came here.

From the beginning it seemed strange to me that an unknown group would come to this place with hundreds of prisoners, this place is very dangerous for normal people.

"You were the last to notice these were the same tower." (I)

"You never said that this city only had this tower, I thought it could be the same as City of Blood that has 3 towers." (Layla)

"Valid point, maybe you still have salvation." (I)

"Was that a compliment? I hope it was or else I'll..." (Layla)

"Try to behave yourself, Layla, this is not the time to be loud." (Nix)

Nix pulls half her body out of my shadow and holds Layla in her hands while using one finger to cover this annoying Fairy's mouth.

While Nix takes care of Layla, the others and I are assessing the situation.

I look at people walking around and I notice that there are few Demons among them, mostly they are Beast Men, there are also many White Elves and some Dark Elves but I don't see any Gray Elves, I don't see any Vampire either.

"There are many half-elves among them." (Vanessa)

"Now that I've noticed it's true, the size of your ears is a little smaller than pure Elves." (I)

"But it's strange to have so few Demons among them, most of the population of this continent should be Demons." (Ragnar)

"Ragnar, can you use your Aura to get some information from them?" (I)

"Of course, the miasma here is weaker, I'll try to feel if there's any more inside the tower or in the temples around it." (Ragnar)

"Thanks, your aura control is better than mine, even if you have someone of the same strength level with them they won't be able to notice you, but they would notice me now that I can't mix my Aura with the surroundings." (I)

"But you would be able to gather a lot more information than I can, but I don't think we have much choice right now." (Ragnar)

Ragnar closes his eyes and his crystal blade horn starts to glow, I feel his Aura passing through me and spreading all over the place, I keep looking at the people in the square, but none of them seem to notice Ragnar's Aura.

After a few minutes, I see a commotion, and people in the square started to run in a direction that was not ours shortly after Ragnar opens his eyes and his horn stops glowing.

"Did you find anything?" (I)

"The strength of all of them seems to be between Grade A and Grade SS, it's around 570 people spread across the square and temples." (Ragnar)

"Just like Sakura said before, I felt the weakened people's Aura as if they were tired or injured." (Ragnar)

"Do you know what the fuss was that made everyone run now?" (I)

"I felt the Aura of Specters, I also noticed that three Auras are gone, they must have been killed, the others must have joined the fight against the monster." (Ragnar)

"Did you get any information from the tower?" (Sakura)

"No, that tower has a barrier to abilities, spells and perception techniques, that includes Auras." (Ragnar)

"I could force my Aura in, but that would alert enemies." (Ragnar)

"You did well not to do anything else with the tower." (I)

"What should we do now, master?" (Orion)

"Let's capture one of these people, let's focus on one of the strongest as he may have more information than the others." (I)

"Hela, have an Undead grab one of them and run to us." (I)

"I'm going to use some Flesh Golems." (Hela)

"That should be good enough, grab one of the enemies with your Golems and hurl him towards us." (I)

"As you wish master." (Hela)

Hela backs away a bit and throws a large pile of corpses to the ground, then casts a spell creating a magic circle under and on top of the pile of corpses.

In a few seconds, the flesh began to move and I saw the bones of the bodies being separated as if they were going to expel the bones from the body.

As soon as the bones came out, the flesh and muscles that were left behind wriggled together before starting to form different grotesque beings that were coming out of this disgusting mass of rotting flesh writhing.

The number of bodies was only enough for 9 Flesh Golems.

Without delay, Hela puts her plan into action, during the Flesh Golems attack two more people were killed while one person was thrown towards us.

I use my lines to grab that person and pull towards us while tying him up, I also gag him just to make sure he doesn't scream along the way.

We all head to a half-destroyed building that luckily was some rich inn where one of the rooms was still in decent shape.

I placed a sound barrier around the room just by chance and also forced our guest to drink a potion similar to truth serum, it should help him talk.

p The moment I took the gag off him I left my Aura covering just the two of us as I didn't want to scare the others, I activated the effects of fear, ruler, murderous intent, and pain.

With all this, he won't be able to lie during the interrogation, feeling so much fear and pain, he won't be able to invent anything, in fact, I think I'll take the pain effect out since if he's screaming he won't be able to answer my questions.

I started by asking a simple question, a question that someone of SS Grade like him should know, I asked the reason for bringing the Blood Demons here.

The answer he gave was that all this was to save the continent, he said that his leader found a way to save the continent from a serious crisis, but for that, he needed a lot of sacrifices, but his leader had a kind heart and didn't want to do such an atrocity to innocent people.

That's when their leader came up with the idea to use the Blood Demons as the sacrifice since the vitality of each one can equal that of 100 people, besides their dismissals they were known as Evil Demons that no one would miss.

He kept saying that we should thank them for doing all this, all they want is for the good of the people of this continent, they kept saying until the end that everyone had good intentions, so I killed him.

Sigh

"Fools..." (I)

"The way he spoke was like he was trying to convince himself..." (Ragnar)

"There is no such thing as doing something bad with good intentions, even when I do something bad I have the courage to admit what I do." (I)

"They will understand the hard way that hell is full of good intentions." (I)
