In the darkness, small stars could be seen. They were close to earth and different from the usual ones. From close range, one can see that these are just lamps and Torches that look like small stars from afar. In the silence, some figures could be seen approaching this settlement.
They moved quietly, shrouded in darkness. The gusts of a chill breeze could be felt. If one looked at the sky, It was shrouded in darkness; the twinkling stars and the luminescent moon could nowhere be seen. It was about to rain, and unfortunately for the people of this settlement, they would be bathed before the rain. The only problem was that they might not like it. A bloodbath was about to befall them.
Everyone, we are not here to play games. Eliminate every Gnoll soldier. Whether they are sleeping or resting doesn't matter to us. Our goal is to clear the Dungeon, and we will use every possible thing we have. Summon your contracted Beasts and ask them not to allow anyone to escape." Said the boy leading them.
Multiple Contract Beasts appeared out of nowhere, each different from the other. There was a group of similar types of beasts. They were all made up of skeletons. Red fire was burning inside their eye sockets, and black smoke was released from their bodies.
The boy wearing a skull mask patted the head of his most powerful Contract Beast. It was a Death Knight; he was mounted on a horse. The presence of this Beast put pressure on the beings in the surroundings. It started moving towards the other exit of the city. A group of Skeleton Creatures followed him.
Other contract Beasts also left after receiving the command of their masters. Rishi touched his pendant, and black smoke released from it. The next moment, a creature surrounded by darkness appeared. It had a vertical purple eye on its forehead and a human hand in place of its legs.
Rishi patted it and said, Listen, Azoz, I want you to cast a powerful spell and make every normal Gnoll go into a deep sleep. I believe others would not harm them on purpose, but I think they will wake up and get caught in the fight. It will lead to the deaths of innocents."
The Beast with an owl head nodded and looked at the human settlement. His eye shone in a purple glow, and the next moment, multiple eyes appeared throughout the settlement. They then released a ray that made anyone hit by it fall asleep.
Rishi nodded when he looked at this before his body blurred and he disappeared. If he wanted, he could have asked his Epic Stage Beast to help him take care of the Gnoll Guards, but that would be no fun. Their objective in raiding this dungeon was to take risks and improve.
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm A shadow appeared behind a guard guarding a camp. A sharp dagger appeared on the neck of the guard the next moment and slit his throat. A cold hand moved simultaneously, stopping him from shouting.
The Shadow moved from one Gnoll soldier to another. After killing five guards, a red presence leaked from the boy's eyes. It stunned anyone he looked at. They felt a shiver in their spines. The only negative point about it was that it revealed his location.
Multiple Gnolls could be seen rushing at him with their weapons. The maces and Axes tore through the air and moved toward the boy. He merely looked at them and used 'Ice Sheild. The next moment, a shield of ice appeared in front of him, blocking their attack. He then held on to the air and thrust it forward.
A black spear appeared in his hand the next second and peered through the chests of the two Gnolls. He kicked the one in front and took his spear out of them, leaving behind a fountain of blood. Some drops of the red fluid fell on his face, and he smelled the familiar smell again.
His eyes started shining and released an Oozing red glow. The opponents he looked at shook in fear; It was as if death was watching them. They felt like they were dying every moment in different ways. The boy looked into the dull eyes of his opponents and swung his spear to end their suffering.
Multiple cries echoed throughout the area for some time. After a few more minutes, it was silent. Even the sky cried when it saw this cruel scene. The blood mixed with water and disappeared. A sound of thunder echoed, and the rain became faster, trying to wash away the traces of the slaughter that took place.
This was not the only settlement targeted; the other settlements near it were also raided. Silence descended everywhere; everyone was sleeping. The group left the area. For one night, this much bloodshed was enough. The one moving at last was releasing a cold, red presence, which made the other feel uncomfortable around him.
He was moving quietly at the end. The scene played in his mind. When he looked up, he saw blood raining, and he could still smell this scent. He was disgusted by what he had done and seen, and the others were also feeling a little awkward. They had never killed such creatures that looked so similar to humans.
Rishi was affected the most, not because his mind was weak but because his 'mind reading' and 'killing Intent' abilities were backfiring. The demonic technique at first tried to make Rishi feel bloodlust and rage, but when it saw that he had strong control, It changed its tactics and now tried to make Rishi regret his decisions and hate himself.
The more beings he killed, the stronger his killing intent grew. It was overflowing uncontrollably from him. The first thing he did after returning to camp was to meditate. He needed to calm his mind and regain control over his emotions. It was tough, but he eventually overcame this situation and made his Killing Intent fade away.
The next day, Cries resounded in the settlements as the common Gnolls witnessed a scene out of a nightmare. Every soldier stationed in the settlement was killed; no one was able to live to tell the tale of their tragedy. The sorrow descended on the people in the settlements; most of them had lost their loved ones.
A six-foot-long Gnoll appeared, wearing metallic armor; he was wearing a helmet and had a black mane. He was riding a gray-feathered Mao bird, and four Brutes followed behind him on their red-feathered mount. The soldiers started investigating what had happened; they were able to find some traces but were still unable to recognize the opponent.
The soldiers searched for every corpse. The Armored Gnoll stepped down from his mount as he looked at the body covered in a sloth in front of him. He removed the cloth, and his eyes welled up as he looked at the body. He brought the head of the corpse over his knees and looked at him carefully.
He roared, "I swear, I will make you regret it. No matter who you are", A small storm erupted around him, blowing everything away.
