Jared, however, showed no sign of fear whatsoever. “I’m glad you guys admitted to it. Where are Ali and the others?”
“They’ve become Demon Wolf food long ago!” the man leading the group replied with a sneer. Percy mustered the courage and shouted, “No, that’s impossible! Ali and the others won’t die so easily!”
“Impossible, you say? No one has ever entered Demon Wolf territory and made it out alive! I thought we would have to return empty-handed, but you two delivered yourselves to us on a silver platter!” said the leader of the group while the other guys surrounded Jared and Percy.
The young boy grabbed onto the hem of Jared’s shirt in fear. Clearly, the two of them were at a huge disadvantage going against dozens of people.
“Just so you guys know, you brought this upon. yourselves…” Murderous intent swirled in Jared’s ice-cold gaze as he tightened his grip. on his sword. Percy knew that quivering in fear was pointless, so he raised his bow and prepared himself for a fight as well.
The man leading the group snorted in disdain when he saw the look in Jared’s eyes. “Still trying to resist, huh? If you two surrender, we might just spare your lives. If you two choose to fight back, then we will kill you both right here and now!”
“You talk too much!” Jared swung his sword as his word hung in the air. All the men saw was a wave of white light flashing past their eyes. The man leading the group went wide-eyed as he stood there, as still as a statue.
A few seconds later, blood slowly trickled down his forehead. “Hey, you’re bleeding!” said one of the guys when he noticed the blood. The man leading the group did not respond even though that guy called out to him multiple times. In fact, he didn’t even blink.
The guy then tried giving him a gentle nudge on the shoulder, only to see him collapse to the ground. His body had been sliced in half, and his internal organs spilled all over the place.
“Ahhh!” The guys that were with him screamed in terror when they saw that. None of them were expecting Jared’s attack to slice that man in half.
“W-We need to avenge him! Kill these b*stards!” someone shouted, prompting the others to leap into action and charge at Jared. Jared lifted his sword and ran toward them.
All Percy saw was Jared zipping through the group of men at lightning speed. In less than a minute, all of the men from Cyan Village were lying on the ground in a pool of their own blood. All of them were dead after having their throats slit in a single slash.
Percy was frozen in shock when he saw what happened. I can’t believe this… Those men are very powerful! Some of them are even stronger than All, and yet, Jared had effortlessly killed them all on his own!
Little did he know, Jared had only recovered a part of his strength. Had Jared regained his full strength, he could’ve killed those men simply by. unleashing his aura upon them.
“Let’s go, Percy.” Jared didn’t even spare their bodies a glance after doing away all of them. Percy was so shocked that he was frozen like a statue. “Percy!” Jared called out to him again.
“R-Right…” The boy finally snapped out of his dazed state and ran after Jared. His eyes were filled with admiration when he looked up at Jared from behind. As Jared and Percy made their way into the Demon Wolf territory, they could feel a clear change in the aura around them.
A lone Demon Wolf was not all that terrifying, but a pack of them could be extremely deadly. The Demon Wolf that they encountered outside had probably been kicked out of the pack, so it was clearly not that strong. Running into a pack of Demon Wolves in their territory, however, would be a whole different story.
