Chapter 86: The Demonic Sword’s Emergence (4)
Meiri and Milia knelt to inspect the corpses.
"Their bodies have been completely drained of blood," Meiri said.
"This matches the victims of Mareda," Milia confirmed.
Ziken’s voice carried disbelief. "The demonic sword appeared in the middle of the city?"
That was strange enough. But what made even less sense was this:
"Yet neither of you sensed a thing?"
The King’s Order quarters and the site of the corpses were only about a block apart. If the demonic sword had unleashed its dark power, there was no way the nearby priests wouldn’t have felt it. The two priests shrank under Ziken’s gaze. They responded in hesitant voices.
"I... I’m not sure..."
"I-I was asleep..."
It wasn’t entirely their fault, either. The surroundings were unnaturally clean. There wasn’t a trace of malice or death energy lingering in the area. It was no wonder they hadn’t sensed anything.
—Even I didn’t notice a thing.
—You too, young master? Varos questioned him. He found it incredulous.
