Chapter 25: Rest In Peace

"Nyx."

[Standby Mode Deactivated]

[Do you need anything, Master?]

"How much Mana do I need to use the Nihil Severance skill?"

[Since the Ultimate Skill: Nihil Severance has significant damage and death effects, a certain amount of Mana is required to activate it]

[Master needs at least 5000 Mana to activate the skill]

"5000 Mana? At what stage can I get 5000 Mana?"

[To reach a total of 5000 Mana, the Master must at least reach Stage 4 or the Office Stage]

"Office Stage. It seems I can’t act rashly," replied Agares.

He refocused his attention forward, looking at Priestess Ara and the members of the Nadia Family who had been humiliatingly killed by the soldiers of Caer Vireth Castle.

"Activate Skill!"

"Saber Skill: Shadow Cleave!"

[Saber Skill: Shadow Cleave Activated]

[-50 Mana]

[Mana: 550/600] [-50]

Agares focused his dark energy on his sword, feeling it lighter and easier to wield than before.

He swung his sword sideways with all his might, sending a slashing shadow attack toward the five wooden pillars in front of him.

The wooden pillars shattered, collapsing along with the people tied to them. One by one, Agares released the bodies of Priestess Ara and Nadia’s family from the crosses, and he also removed the nooses from Nadia’s neck.

Agares took a wooden cart and placed the five bodies on it. He pulled the cart away from the village center and went up the hill, straight to the Nadia family’s residence.

There, the man dug a grave and buried them properly. The five were buried in separate graves, with flowers sprinkled on their graves while Agares prayed for their deaths.

"Father in Heaven, we pray for their souls. Thank you for all the blessings you have given them during their lives. We beg you, give them an eternal place by your side. Amen."

Right after praying, Agares stepped back and left the hill with a broken heart, disappointment clearly visible, and revenge implied on his face.

He only had one name to kill, and his name was Helderic.

However, killing Helderic required careful planning. Agares couldn’t just go to Caer Vireth Palace and cause trouble there. That would only get him caught.

He stepped into the village and saw Priestess Ara’s clinic, which was destroyed with a blackened roof. Agares could see the bodies of nurses burned alive there.

The man turned to the side and saw Priestess Ara’s workspace. The room was as destroyed as the clinic. But Ara left her priest’s staff there, which was significantly damaged.

As Agares gazed at the destruction in Faircallen Village, his attention was drawn to the side.

Peeking through a window while hiding, Agares saw five soldiers in armor and armed with spears coming from another place in the village.

"I didn’t expect looting this village would bring us such a big profit," one of them said, loud enough for Agares to hear.

"Right! With all the gold and silver we have, we can get a lot of EXP Elixir."

"Nyx."

[Standby Mode Deactivated]

[Do you need anything, Master?]

"What is EXP Elixir? Is it an item that can increase my EXP?" Agares asked.

[EXP Elixir is an item condensed from magical energy converted into EXP. It usually comes from the purified core of monsters]

[There are three types of EXP Elixirs: low, medium, and high. The amount of EXP gained from each type varies.]

"Can I raise my level by continuing to use EXP Elixirs?"

[Yes, Master. However, the cost is quite high.]

Agares nodded. Unlike killing monsters, EXP Elixirs are easy to obtain and use. However, because Nyx mentioned the high cost, not many people use this method.

Perhaps only nobles and rich people do it, but for those who are poor, fighting monsters with their lives on the line was the only way to gain EXP.

"Don’t worry, no one saw what we did," replied another soldier.

There was a possibility that the five armored soldiers had stored the money in their magic pouches or hidden it all in one place. The only way to confirm this was to interrogate them.

Agares quickly left the ruins of the clinic and ran outside. The five soldiers heard the sound of footsteps behind them.

When they turned around, a man in a black robe wielding a sword appeared suddenly.

"Activate your skill!"

"Saber Skill: Shadow Cleave!"

[Saber Skill: Shadow Cleave Activated]

[-50 Mana]

[Mana: 500/600] [-50]

Agares came with both eyes glowing purple, with dark energy immediately enveloping the sword he held tightly.

With one powerful swing of his sword sideways, Agares sent a slashing shadow attack towards the patrol team. They failed to dodge, and three were hit directly.

[+75 damage]

[Weakened 5s]

[Reduce ATK 20% 10s]

[Reduce 7 HP/sec 5s]

Those hit by Agares’ saber skill attack were knocked back and severely wounded. Every second, their defense weakened, their attack percentage decreased, and their HP was reduced.

Agares considered his first saber skill too overpowered.

The man continued his attack by striking them with his sword technique. With the debuff still active, the damage they received was even greater.

One by one, they died from running out of HP. Agares continued to attack them relentlessly without mercy, causing the five patrol soldiers to be terrified of Agares’ terrifying power.

"Who are you?" asked one of the soldiers, his hand severed.

Agares stood over him, pointing the blade of his sword forward, directly at the soldier’s neck.

He targeted the soldier because he was the only one who knew the location of the treasure they were hiding.

He didn’t need to tell him who he was; the soldier would realize who he truly was.

Sure enough! He recognized the man before him as Agares, remembering the monster’s distinctive features from the description given by their commander.

"You’re Agares!" he declared.

"If you know who I am, you must know what I’m going to do to you, right?"

"P-Please... don’t kill me."

"I’ll do anything! Anything."

Agares remained silent, pressing the blade of his sword harder against the soldier’s neck, threatening him further.

"Hand over all your treasures, and I’ll let you live."
