Book 8: Chapter 48
I lowered my sword. The blood above formed a river of blood, making every step I took leave behind the stench of blood.
‘I’ve learned a lot of things this time.’
‘For instance, how many people I can kill with my stamina.’
I huffed and puffed as walked up to the last man.
‘Who is this again? I can’t remember. Is he a King or a lord? I don’t remember, nor do I care. How’s he any different to the dismembered corpses behind me? He looks terrified and my sword is raised high up. There’s nothing different.’
I looked at his neck. My expression remained the same.
‘I felt that my conscience was being tortured when I killed the first person. I felt sick when I killed the second person. After I killed the third person, I had an odd feeling. When I killed the fourth and fifth person, I felt the urge to toy with them. When I killed the sixth, seventh and eighth, I laughed manically. Now for this last one. I no longer feel any emotion.’
I swung my blade emotionlessly as if I was slicing bread with a knife.
The Elven King sword is incredibly sharp. It cuts through skin, flesh and bone as smooth as butter. My target’s terrified expression didn’t change after I had lopped off one of his arms.
