Epic Of The Demonic Sage - Chapter 255
Lucius didn’t know that Gabriel had seen them, but could tell that the commotion they caused would be noticed soon enough.
On the southern side, the cannonballs that had been shot out by the two brothers were blocked by the two Lost. The explosion had created a lot of smoke but once it faded away, they could see the scene again.
The armor that the two lost were wearing was damaged and bent in the place where it had made contact, but other than that they were fine.
~THUD~ THUD~
The Two lost landed on the ground and turned to look at the brothers. Their faces were hidden beneath the metal masks, but the aura coming from there was hard to miss. It was certain that they were nothing about their wellbeing.
On the side of Lucius, Donald was stunned, to say the least.
“Amazing! An attack of that level… how is this even possible? What kind of men are they?” Donald asked.
“They are the masked legion… a mercenary group.” Lucius spoke.
“A mercenary group? I’ve never heard of them. A group like this should have been well known. Their power is nothing simple. Heck, if they joined the army they would directly be promoted to the rank of a lieutenant!” Donald said, feeling bewildered.
“Of course they are unknown, this is the first time they are appearing.” Lucius spoke.
It was now that Donald understood.
“Hang on… are they the same as the brewery? A secret project of yours?” Donald said.
Donald was not stupid and could understand a lot of things without them being said. After all, he had spent working for quite a few nobles before he actually joined the Inanis family.
“Indeed, this will be this first job and we will be building their portfolio from here. Once it is good enough, others will definitely want to hire them. I reckon we can obtain quite a lot of profits from them.” Lucius spoke.
“Hmm, that might be good. But who are they? And are they… you know… trustable?” Donald asked, feeling doubtful.
“Trust is the one thing I am absolutely sure of. They will never, ever betray us. As for who they are… I’ll just say they are the first graduates of the Re-education center.” Lucius said.
pAn,Da-n0v e1,c,m “The Reeducation center?!” Donald was shocked once again.
“You mean to say… those criminals…” He muttered.
“Indeed. I said before that they will serve us and our people for their wellbeing, and here they are. They shall remove the threats that serve to destabilize our territory and will do it with their entire existence.
They will serve forever to repay their sins and redeem themselves. This shall be their atonement… their redemption.” Lucius stated.
Donald didn’t know what more to say after hearing all this. He trusted Lucius and thought that it would be better to just wait and watch now.
And while Lucius and Donald had this little conversation, the Lost were not approaching the two brothers.
~Crack~
~Bash
~Bam~
The other soldiers that were trying to run were killed swiftly by the three Lost that were at the back. They had split into the two directions to pincer them in between and prevent anyone from getting out.
“IMPOSSIBLE!”
“Just what kind of warriors are they? They don’t even have defensive gifts and they can still block out attacks?”
The two brothers were at a loss and didn’t know what to do. They wanted to attack again, but their gifts made it so that they couldn’t do it right away.
“PROTECT US!” The brothers shouted at the other enemy soldiers while they rushed into their group to hide.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m
Unfortunately for them, those soldiers were no less shocked than them and the fear was starting to penetrate their hearts as well.
~HNG!~
A low grunt was heard coming from the Lost and they suddenly started to rush towards the enemy soldiers.
“STOP THEM!!!!!”
~pew~pew~pew~
Various gifts showed their effects as another barrage of attacks was launched towards the Lost. It was all for naught though, as the lost had already learned from the last time and knew how these attacks worked.
They moved with surprising agility, despite their large builds. They ran like bulls and directly slammed into the soldiers.
~CLANG~ CLANG~ CLANG~
~DENG~~DENG~DENG~
Metal clashed against metal as the unstoppable charge of the Lost overwhelmed the soldiers. In less than a minute, the entire regiment was killed by either being crushed to death, or being smashed to death.
Blood and gore were a common sight on the battlefield, but this was far more terrifying than what most soldiers would ever see in their entire lives.
“No! No! No!” Don’t come close.
~thud~
One of the brothers stumbled and fell to the ground.
~step~step~step~
The Lost which could kick out arcs of energy though, didn’t care about what the man said and approached him directly. He extended his hand towards the man who had fallen on the ground and grasped his neck.
“GAH! UGH!” The man struggled in the grasp of the Lost as he lifted him up with his neck, as if he was a child.
“LET GO OF MY BROTHER!” The other man shouted.
~BOOM~
Another explosion was heard as a cannon bolt was shot out of his hands, leaving them bloodied and burned. It was evident that he had forced himself to use his gift, despite the fact that he was not ready.
~DENG~
The cannon ball was stopped by the second lost, and he caught it directly using his hand.
“Y-you… you… you’re not human… no human can do this…” the brother said in shock.
~CRACK~CRUMBLE~
The Cannonball was crushed by the lost as its pieces fell to the ground like brittle chalk.
“NOOO!!!” The brother shouted and tried to run.
~SPLAT~
Alas! He couldn’t even take a single step before the large fist of the Lost hammered his head, exploding it like a watermelon.
The other brother, who was still hanging by his neck, passed out from shock before his head was separated forcefully as well.
