“Stop!!” The pleading voice of a young woman resounded from behind Dilan.
“Why should I?” He simply asked, halting in his tracks as he turned around.
The moment he heard the woman’s voice, he knew it was Felia. The Captain of the Soldiers had finally appeared.
While she had been further away when the mess had begun, it didn’t take long for her to notice the commotion as well.
‘Since when have my Soldiers become wild animals?!’ Was the only thought in her mind when she heard about the horrifying act of some of her soldiers.
It was frustrating, and she hoped that the entire situation could be salvaged, somehow. Felia wanted to have cordial relations with Dilan’s group after all.
They were not only strong but their progress with various lifestyle occupations was fascinating. Their knowledge was also much broader than the Blue Star camp’s. It would be great if they could co-operate and do something that would benefit both sides.
A win-win solution was always the best.
However, Felia quickly realized that it was not easy to solve the mess her soldiers had caused anymore. Her expression grew even worse when she noticed that Dilan was stiffly facing the soldiers..
His mood had hit rock bottom, and it was quite obvious that he didn’t intend to show any mercy, whether the perpetrators belonged to his group or not.
‘Great, he didn’t ignore me…’ Felia thought when Dilan had turned toward her after she had shouted out.
But even if Dilan stopped, his eyes gave away the intention to kill, and it didn’t look like he would listen to her, no matter what she said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“These soldiers belong to my unit and the Blue Star Camp. Killing them right now will only worsen our relationship. Even if Mayor Clerens were to understand why you killed them, the other leaders wouldn’t accept that you killed their Soldiers.
I will take them back to the camp and punish them according to our rules. We will leave immediately as well. I doubt that we are still welcome here.”
Felia wanted to act before Dilan could do something. That was why hastily came up with an alternate plan, before quickly motioning her soldiers to come to her.
However, Dilan snapped and swung his sword the moment the soldiers moved.
The Soldier, who had touched Marie’s butt lost both of his hands the moment the Blazing Serpentine Blade lunged out, cutting through his wrists with ease.
A painful scream filled the silent surrounding, and Dilan looked straight in Felia’s eyes.
“Who told you that they can leave? You can leave with the others, but they stay here.” He replied coldly, not accepting no for an answer.
However, Felia couldn’t allow this. She knew that all hell would break loose the moment the Blue Star camp’s leaders would find out that the leader of another group killed their soldiers for something as ‘insignificant’ as an attempt to ****.
Felia would love to beat her own Soldiers to a pulp for trying to **** someone. She was even willing to cut off their best things or make them useless if that wouldn’t have already happened.
But even if Felia wished to do all of this, she was still responsible for her people, and couldn’t allow them to die.
Giving someone a death sentence because of an attempt to **** was also a little bit over the top in her opinion.
But this just showed her how serious Dilan was with his rules. Felia had heard a bit about Dilan, and most described him as kind, generous, and good to everyone, who obeyed the few rules he had set up.
Yet, on the other hand, he was an ice-cold demon and the epitome of a merciless murderer to everyone, who wanted to hurt him, his people, and those who betrayed his trust and ignored his rules.
Dilan was merciless when necessary and nice on every other occasion. That was how Dilan seemed to be to everyone, whom Felia had asked what they felt about Dilan.
However, only now did Felia realize what exactly they meant when they spoke about Dilan being a devil.
“We will compensate you if that’s necessary to allow us to leave. Ýou took their manhood already, we will punish them a little bit more and they won’t ever dare to do something like this ever again, I promise that!!” Felia tried once again.
Yet, the moment Dilan started to laugh coldly, she knew that she had failed.
“You promise that? What makes you think that I trust you? You are nothing but a stranger to me. I warned you and your people about my rules. I even said that I won’t show any mercy to those who break my rules.
But even then your people ignored my warnings. What do you think will happen now?” Dilan’s expression changed to that of immense wrath. If glares could kill, Felia would be long dead. She felt herself go rigid as a statue and incapable of moving her body.
Her entire being was a mess and she had no idea what was going on.
Nonetheless, she still wanted to say something one last time, and try to convince Dilan that there had to be another way. Felia had just found Dilan and his group. They were much more advanced than them, in terms of overall progress, while the Blue Star camp had more people, and many unique existences, whose prowess exceeded the threshold of ordinary Ascenders.
She didn’t want Dilan to make a mistake, to offend the Blue Star camp even before they could start negotiating in various ways.
Dilan’s group and the Blue Star camp could become great business partners, and Felia wanted that to happen.
But Dilan was not someone one could convince just like that.
He was stubborn and his beliefs were firm. Furthermore, he didn’t fear anyone.
‘If the Blue Star camp wants to fight us, I am glad to oblige to their wish, but I won’t surrender to them, just because someone wants me to abandon my beliefs. That will never happen again!!’ Dilan could only think.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMemories of the past resurfaced in Dilan’s mind, the thought of rapists being able to walk free because he was too weak to do anything, to say anything about what had happened in the past, and the guilt weighing him down…everything resurfaced once again.
His eyes turned into fiery flames of wrath, and he spat the next words angrily.
“I think you forgot something. This is my land and my rules. I will punish everyone who dares to break my rules, whether they’re my own people or members of other groups, in ways I deem fit!”
At this very moment, Dilan stared deep into Felia’s eyes, his piercing gaze penetrating her soul. Her legs gave in without her being able to do anything against them.
Merely a moment later, his eyes flicked to the Soldiers, who were frozen in place. Dilan took a stride toward them, appearing right in front of the middle-aged Soldier.
His hand shot out to the side, and the soldier to the middle-aged man’s right lost his leg. A moment later Dilan flicked his hand once again and this time another Soldier lost a limb.
Screams of endless pain filled the surroundings, and puddles of blood formed on the ground. Meanwhile, Dilan stood in the middle of the puddles of blood, his eyes showing not a trace of hesitation as he kept slashing out with the Blazing Serpentine Blade.
