Claws looked at the man's dead body and smiled maliciously.
Meanwhile, Joel and Stephane were hiding inside a house. Stephane had seen everything through the window.
Suddenly, Claws turned his gaze toward the house where they were hiding.
At that moment, the female adventurer who had saved him earlier came out of another house.
She looked frightened and confused. She swallowed her saliva and asked,
"Are you… the one who killed him?"
Claws smiled slightly and slowly approached her.
"No. I tried to save them… but they all died."
She stepped backward and whispered,
"I thought you were different… but I saw you. You killed him. You are just like those monsters."
The wind blew through their hair.
Claws leaned closer and whispered in her ear.
"If what you're saying is true… can you survive? Can you even hear a sound?"
He looked down at her with terrifying eyes.
"Simply because… they all died."
He struck her lightly, making her faint, then carried her on his shoulder.
I can't let you die. We have some similarities.
The more evil he committed, the stronger he became.
Meanwhile, Joel and Stephane continued their journey.
Thirty minutes later, they found a cave almost exactly at the location marked on the map.
It was risky to use his skill earlier… but now it is perfect.
They entered the cave carefully. Joel held a knife, ready to use his eyes at any moment.
Soon they saw a terrorist enjoying himself with a slave.
They hid.
Another terrorist arrived with his own slave and said,
"What are you doing? You are supposed to guard the entrance."
The other replied,
"Yes, I know… but this is more enjoyable."
They laughed and continued abusing the slaves.
The slaves screamed in pain.
Joel was furious but afraid to attack because he might hurt the slaves.
Stephane placed his hand on Joel's shoulder, calming him down.
Then he removed knives from his pocket and threw them.
The blades burst through the terrorists' heads instantly.
They fell to the ground dead.
The slaves immediately ran away.
Deeper in the cave, another terrorist folded his arms.
Those guys are strange… why did they suddenly stop?
He walked toward the entrance.
"Hey boys—"
He suddenly saw the bodies.
"What just happ—"
Stephane jumped on him and stabbed him repeatedly until he died without saying a word.
They continued moving deeper into the cave.
Suddenly Stephane accidentally stepped on a branch.
Crack.
The sound echoed.
Joel stepped on another branch.
Oh no.
The terrorists immediately realized they had intruders.
"There are visitors," said a blind man sitting on a chair.
Stephane and Joel ran toward the entrance, but suddenly a magical barrier sealed it.
Fifteen terrorists appeared behind them.
"This will be your grave."
They slowly approached.
Stephane began hitting the magic barrier and shouted,
"Please! Have pity on me!"
Then he whispered to Joel,
"Joel."
Joel suddenly cut the thread and opened his eyes.
He looked at them.
Blood burst from their mouths.
Their organs collapsed.
Death followed.
