Fabro was seething, he could see multiple dead people on the ground, people he knew, some he grew up with, his friends he used to play with lying dead. He gently place An on the ground, took out a potion and fed it to Annie.
He could tell she was still alive, barely but she could still be saved. He watched as her wounds closed. Her breathing stabilised but she was still unconscious. His three subordinate landed after him.
Luke took a deep breath and breathed out, Fabro didn't comment on that, the mana here was low, even lower than in town, so it normal he would have a hard time adjusting.
The twins stood behind him like loyal maids. Greetings fellow experts, may I ask why you have interfered with our business? He did not even bother replying to the fat pigs question.
Yamiko, Yamino. Yes master, the twins replied in a flat tone.Both Annie and An seemed to have woken up, they were still out of it but they probably heard the two girls address him as master.
Kill, he said. Let discuss this like civilised people lest somebody regret their acti... Said the pig but before he could finish, five of his over 30 guards were headless, one of the twins was standing behind their headless bodies with a black gleaming dagger in each hand.
Not a single drop of blood had touched her maid uniform. The pig tried to move, he was also at the master realm, but it was obvious he relied on natural treasures, his mana was unstable and felt weak, his intent felt disconnected from his soul.
Before he could move Yamino had casted a spell chains of the unholy, rise and bind the wicked chain of darkness rose from the ground and coiled around his entire body. He tried to move, he used his mana, hot oil oozed from his body making him slippery yet the chains only tighten the more he tried to resist.
The only other master level expert among them tried to attack Yamiko with his great axe, she deflected the attack with her dagger and before the man could move she slits his throat.
A woman dressed like a witch tried to cast a spell, she was at the acolyte realm, before she could finish her chant a tiny ball of darkness shot by Yamiyo drilled through her head, within 3 seconds Yamiko had killed the rest.
She was fast as the wind, not a single one of them could catch her movements, she was a harvester and they were the wheat in her field. After she was done she went to stand behind Fabro, not once did he turn his head.
Her maid uniform was spotless, like she did not just harvest the lives of over 30 men. Fabro looked around, some of the houses were burning and they had even burnt the fields.
The crops were dying anyways but they could've been harvested for the winter. He stood and looked towards the fat pig tied by Yamiyo. He walked towards him. Do you know who I am? He didn't answer.
I'm the servant of the King Baron, cousin to the Duke of the Windy Peaks Dukedom. He still did not answer. If you kill me,everybody you love and care about will die with me, I am a very valuable subordinate of the King.
For the first time, Fabro spoke, he bent down before the pig and looked him dead in the eyes. Don't worry, I won't be killing you today, he pressed his right hand on the pigs fat chest extract said as he extracted the pigs soul.
He watched as the soul was screaming, of course as a soul they could make sound. Normally it would be impossible for the soul of a master to survive outside of the body but he was shielding it from the laws.
He took out a crystal ball with fire inside. It had black demonic flames and gold celestial flames. In normal situations the two types of flames would seek to destroy each other but he had found an equilibrium.
They worked together, to burn and heal the soul. This was a technique he was taught by his grandfather, it used flames to refine and strengthen the soul but he had transformed it. Demonic flames contained demonic energy which destroy souls not attuned to the demonic mana.
The celestial flames on the other hand heal and strengthen souls, atleast this type of celestial flame. So the soul trapped inside get destroyed and healed repeatedly for eternity or as long as the flames last.
He put the pigs soul inside. He watched it despair as it started to burn. He put the crystal ball in his storage ring and looked at his village. We might need a new place, he thought.
He sighed and looked at his status screen

His moniker seemed to flickering in and out of existence, he seemed to have gained another moniker, though it also flickers so he can't tell what it says. It was time to deal with this problem.
People were crying over the bodies of their dead family members. He was not good with words, he saw Anele crying over the headless body of the village chief, that man had welcomed him into his own home and treated him like a son.
Seeing him lying there ,dead really breaks his heart. You don't have to blame yourself boss, it wasn't your fault we couldn't arrive earlier he heard Luke say. Then it hit, he felt it, the urging feeling, if only he had listened to it, if only he was...."notice, emotional state unstable, host is learning the will of the ancients"
He ignored the system,a dark aura rose from him" Host is learning will of sorrow, the ancient of ××××××××× gaze upon you. The Endless shadow intervenes, the ancient can nolonger see you" he ignored the notifications.
As he was drowning in his self loathing he felt somebody hug him from behind, even through his armour he could feel the warmth and love through that hug. You are not a God Fabro, you can't do everything or save everyone.
Yamiko said laying her head on his back. I should've listened to my guts, I should've known this would happen. But you didn't, none of us did, none of us can see the future so stop wallowing in yourself pity, your people, your family needs you.
He touched her hand on his stomach, thank you Yamiko, also how did you know what I was thinking. I know you Fabro, I know you more than you think I do. He sighed, I guess you do,he was right, it was time he stopped wallowing in his self pity. " Notice, interference with host detected,will of sorrow removed from host" huh?
