Chapter 50

Blata ran eagerly with his tiny legs.

But he was a fat ass.

He had only run for five seconds before he started panting.

“Huff, huff. Gahdamn, It’s too hard. Carry me.”

Kane, who had stopped on the road, looked at the exhausted Blata and said, “What are you doing, call the blood tigers.”

“Huh?”

Blata’s eyes sparkled.

“Why aren’t they showing up when they see me? I’m angry.”

Only then did the Blood Tigers reveal themselves.

The largest one among them bent down deeply and let Blata ride on his back.

“Let’s go to Kane!” Blata shouted, tapping the Blood Tiger’s back with his front paw.

The Blood Tiger began to move while carrying Blata.

“The rest should watch over the mutant monsters. There must be one who violated my order. Kill it to set an example.”

“Roar!”

At Kane’s command, the Blood Tigers quickly scattered.

Only the one carrying Blata remained.

Blata, now beside Kane, said with a grin, “How do I look? Impressive, right?”

Seeing Blata’s cheerful demeanor, it seemed to have forgotten that he was being ignored just minutes ago.

“Is that your personal stroller?”

“What’s a stroller? Is it something you drink?”

“It’s like a special carriage for babies.”

“The world must’ve become great if babies get to ride such incredible things!”

Kane chuckled.

Blata was truly innocent.

Kane momentarily forgot that Blata was known as the seed of evil.

While Blata was showing off his power, they arrived at the main gate of the Rehinar Family estate.

—

At that moment,

Aren, the Lieutenant of the Dark Sentinels who had come running from Philaec, easily entered the devastated Rehinar territory.

“The territory is in ruins. The first unit completed their mission well.”

Aren had a satisfied expression.

Black smoke was rising everywhere.

The wealthiest areas in the south had been completely devastated.

“At this rate, no matter how much the Guardian Lord tries, he won’t be able to rebuild the family. Heh.”

As Aren laughed sinisterly, he sensed a familiar mana.

‘The Guardian Knights!’

He hid between the collapsed buildings.

He also controlled his breathing to be as shallow as possible.

The Guardian Knights were hurrying somewhere.

Their direction was towards the Rehinar estate.

After they disappeared, he revealed himself.

“Even the Guardian Knights are in disarray. If Duke Carl still hasn’t shown himself by now, then what the Black Crow exchange said must be true.”

Duke Carl, the Guardian Lord, had been gravely injured and sickly lying in his room.

No, to be precise, he was poisoned by the mana crystal grass and got mana hemmorage..

It was a perfect opportunity to kill Duke Carl.

“With mutant monsters ravaging the territory, the Guardian Knights can’t just stay cooped up in the estate. That means the Blue Flash (Cedric) isn’t with the Guardian Lord. Luck is on my side.”

Aren pushed off the ground.

As a Beginner-Tier 5th Class assassin, his movements were silent.

He navigated through the collapsed buildings.

‘The defenses are wide open.’

Before he knew it, he was near the estate’s main gate.

He climbed up a large tree and hid himself.

His senses detected hundreds of people.

They were all at the main gate.

There were only a few dozen people inside the family grounds.

‘It was worth bribing those guys.’

Most of the people gathered at the main gate were those bought off by Dyer.

‘Thanks to you, I’ll have a chance to kill the Guardian Lord.’

Aren carefully moved along his roughly planned route.

He avoided detection by the Guardian Knights inside.

All the knights were distracted by the commotion at the main gate.

‘Is that it?’

He spotted the most grandiose mansion and pressed his body as close to the wall as possible.

Then, he pulled out the map he had drawn and reviewed it slowly.

‘The Guardian Lord’s suite is on the second floor. It’s in the position with the best view of the tiger statue in the garden.’

He raised his head to confirm the Guardian Lord’s room.

Then, he scaled the wall in one go.

—

At the main gate of the Rehinar Mansion, the Guardian Knights standing guard kept their mouths shut.

“Why have you locked the gate? Let us in!”

“Come out, Guardian Knights, and do something about those monsters! My property, no, the territory is being destroyed.”

Despite all the complaints, the knights silently guarded the gate.

“Let’s be thankful, this is the safest place in the territory right now.”

“And with our own soldiers here, we’ll surely be safe.”

There were over three hundred soldiers and, if we include mercenaries, it was double that number.

The soldiers were protecting the nobles who had taken refuge in the estate.

“Sir Matsu should not be in such a lowly place.”

The butler serving Matsu Wexler was fuming.

“Even if not the Duke, shouldn’t Commander Cedric at least come out to greet Sir Matsu?”

One of the Guardian Knights at the gate snapped.

“That motherfuc-!”

“Wait, the commander ordered us not to respond.”

A woman who appeared to be the senior knight stopped the junior knight.

“Aren’t they fucking traitors?”

Matsu Wexler was a viscount.

He was a noble who had lived in Rehinar for generations.

He was also the current head of the Wexler family, who had once been loyal to the Rehinar family.

But what about now?

Rumors were rampant that he had aligned himself with Dyer.

He usually looked down on the Rehinar family, but now that his life was at stake, he had come here seeking refuge.

If he were to kneel and repent, it might be another matter.

But his arrogance knew no bounds.

“Endure it. It’s the commander’s order.”

“Even after seeing that smoke, we must endure?”

The senior knight, Frija, saw the black smoke rising from the territory..

Numerous plumes of smoke rising into the air.

The distant screams of poor servants and maids made her heart ache with regret.

“I can’t take it anymore. I’ll cut down those corrupt men myself.”

“Lase!”

Despite Frija’s call, her junior, Lase, opened the main gate.

“The gate is open!”

“Push in!”

In that brief moment when the gate opened, soldiers and mercenaries squeezed through.

A smile spread across Viscount Matsu’s face.

The thrill of entering the untouchable Rehinar family estate was exhilarating.

“The air is different here.”

“Even in ruins, Rehinar is still Rehinar.”

The mercenaries and soldiers acted as if the estate were their own home.

Just as Lase was about to swing his sword at them, a cold, low voice reached everyone’s ears.

“What is this absurd scene? Who allowed these idiots into my estate? Was it you?”

Kane’s gaze fell upon Yannick and the youngest knights.

“A-Absolutely not.”

“Why would we do something so crazy…”

“We only led them to the main gate.”

The youngest knights vehemently denied it.

Kane continued with a half-moon smile.

“So you’re saying they entered the estate without permission?”

“That must be the case.”

“Lately, things have been so amusing. I never thought I’d see so many worm-like antics from those who can’t even squirm when stepped on.”

His face turned icy.

“Blata.”

“Yes?”

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Blata quickly returned to his side. Blata was quite perceptive.

“There are some tasty snacks. Bring them all here.”

“You heard that? Kane is angry, so move quickly.”

“Roar!”

The Blood Tiger disappeared from sight in an instant.

Kane turned his body.

“First, they must pay for crossing the estate without permission.”

[Blood Tiger’s Breath (S) has been activated]

He swung his hand towards the gate.

“Ah!”

“Blood?”

“My, my leg is cut, ah!”

The mercenaries and soldiers accompanying the nobles collapsed, spurting blood.

A single stroke passed by the gate.

It was a sword made with water mana.

Blata hopped up and down in admiration.

“His understanding of water mana is perfect! He’s truly the one who awakened me.”

There was one misconception people had.

They thought the sharpest element in the world was wind.

But in truth, it was water.

When water is compressed at ultra-high pressure, its speed is three times that of sound.

Water can cut through rock, steel, and even diamond like tofu.

The sword Kane wielded was a water sword.

It was the power of water mana compressed at ultra-high pressure. The ground being effortlessly sliced was a natural result.

“I want to see more of his power.”

Only Blata was talking in an ecstatic voice.

Everyone else had expressions of horror.

“What, what is happening! Quickly, treat the wounded!”

The middle-aged man, who had been continuously barking orders by Viscount Matsu’s side, shouted.

At that moment.

“Who dares to move without my permission?”

Kane’s chillingly ominous voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

Despite his warning, some still moved.

Kane’s sword struck the ground again.

CRACK!

While the previous slash had been clean, this one was rough and jagged.

It clawed through the ground.

The fate of those who ignored his warning was gruesome.

“Ah, my, my leg!”

“Somebody help…”

Legs were torn apart.

Not just the flesh but the bones were crushed, fully exposed.

The main gate was filled with screams.

The people turned pale.

Kane issued another warning.

“Try moving again, I fucking dare you.”𝒩ewW 𝒏ovels upd𝒂tes on nov/𝒆l/b(i)𝒏(.)com

“That, madman…!”

One of the territory residents, unable to control himself, cursed at Kane.

Startled, he covered his mouth with his hand.

“Hiccup!”

In their panic, some even started hiccuping.

Was this really Kane Rehinar?

There were rumors that his temperament had changed, but they thought it was exaggerated.

After all, he was the son of Duke Carl.

They believed he wouldn’t turn his back on the residents in their distress.

But instead of helping, he attacked them.

It would have been better if he at least explained why he was doing this.

Kane remained silent, simply watching them.

Unable to bear it any longer, Frija stepped forward.

“Young Duke…”

The moment she met Kane’s eyes.

‘What kind of gaze is that…’

She couldn’t say another word.

Even while standing still, his aura was as cold as frost.

Even though her class was higher.

Kane seemed immensely intimidating.

“I refuse interference.”

Ignoring Frija, he approached the main gate.

He cut his hand, letting the blood drip to the ground.

The scene was ominous.

Everyone fell silent as they watched Kane’s actions.

“A, a monster!”

One of the estate residents screamed in terror.

Dark tribe goblins were swarming towards the Rehinar mansion gate.

“Run!”

Just as the residents at the gate tried to cross into the Rehinar estate!

Kane swung his water sword without hesitation.

SPLASH!

Blood sprayed into the air.

His attack targeted only the corrupt resident’s legs.

All the residents who crossed the gate had their legs severed.

“If you cross the line I’ve drawn, Y’all would be wishing for death instead of life.”
