Chapter 67: Corpse Explosion
Vlad woke up at the first ray of light, and after eating a large piece of Champion Monster’s meat and drinking a large amount of blood, he continued advancing. He advanced extremely fast for half of the day and only began to slow down as he reached a small mountain.
On the other side of that mountain was another town, Quiet Breeze Town. It was smaller than Good Side Town but still home to thousands of people. Originally, Vlad planned to perform a rescue operation in this place after leaving the civilians of Good Side Town safely in the Silent Wind Military Base, but things were more complicated due to the high demonic horde.
He needed to reach his destination fast and could not distract himself by helping hundreds of people. It was not just killing the demons in the place that he would need to care about but also securing the probably weakened and famished civilians.
After all, what would be the point of spending hours or maybe an entire day killing all the demons, just to leave these people here since a massive demonic horde was coming this way?
A soldier must make harsh choices, as the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Vlad made it to the peak of the mountain, and as he glanced at Quiet Breeze Town, his eyes widened before a murderous coldness appeared in them.
"I guess I no longer have to worry about whether or not to save them."
Pure coldness appeared in Vlad’s voice as he uttered those words, burning rage rising in his heart as he focused on the town now completely overrun by demonic beasts. Unlike Good Side Town, where many buildings stood firm, allowing civilians a place to hide from the demonic beast, there was not a single vertical structure still standing in this place.
The reason for such a massive change between both towns was the giant demon resembling a bipedal lizard. That creature was a Champion and had decided to destroy every building so no one could hide.
