Chapter 51

Shadow soldiers and armed men swept the night streets.

"Kyaaaa!"

"Get back into the building! Don't open any windows!"

Currently, Nobira was washing away the negative energy that has built up in the city with blood and steel.

"Kuaaargh!"

"D-Do you really think you will be able to handle this? Heka will kill you all!"

"It'll be a different story if we kill you all before that happens though."

"H-Hol–"

Stab...

A life had met its end.

Similar things were happening throughout the city.

Though death is what gives meaning to life, there were way too many people dying in vain in the city.

"Wolf... Krgh... You came up with a few good tricks this time but what do you think about backing off now?" said Doju.

"Why would I do that?"

"Because Heka will be coming soon. He's coming to tear your head off from your body for biting me, hahaha..."

"I already know that. That's why I'm in a hurry."

"......"

Doju looked for ways to escape from this situation but wherever he looked, there was someone blocking his way.

And if there weren't people, there were shadows.

"Kibo, are you still turning your dead faction members into your shadows?"

"Yeah, I still am."

"You make me want to vomit... I feel awful for them."

"This conversation's already gone too long. The night's going to be long even with you gone. Farewell."

"St-stop it! Kraaargh..."

Slice!

The spine-chilling sound of a person's head being separated from their body filled the dead space.

"Doju is dead. Tell it to the members of his faction and don't kill anyone who surrenders."

"Understood!"

"Now... is it only Heka left...?"

"Since Heka is still alive, the real plan starts now."

"Exactly. Don't relax just yet, we need to find out exactly what moves Heka has made. First, let's rendezvous with Shur."

Blood flowed throughout the city.

It was undeniably a cruel sight but no one showed sympathy to the tyrant's death.

Kibo, despite all the commotion, was successfully able to rendezvous with Shur.

And here, Kibo's first prediction was wrong.

'Heka should have aimed for us before we were able to rendezvous... so why didn't he show up?'

Either he was confident to the point that he was arrogant, or... he was in a situation where he couldn't fight right away.

Kibo then suddenly thought of the mission he gave Mira before the Wolf's Night started.

He sent Mira to a bar after hearing that Heka and Seol were fighting there. And ever since sending her there, he has heard absolutely nothing.
