Volu 6 Chapter 28: Four Face
On a snow-covered mountain peak, a small stone tower stood alone.
Inside the tower, the flickering firelight in the fireplace crackled and burned the wood. A man, draped in a green cloak and wearing a mask, sat dazedly on a small chair in front of the fireplace, holding a wooden wine cup.
The mask depicted an angry face with green skin and sharp fangs, covering almost the entire face of the man, leaving only an opening at the mouth, just enough for him to drink.
The man raised the cup, about to drain it, when the sound of countless hoofbeats and clashing armor suddenly ca from outside. The man shivered, and the liquid in his tilted cup froze solid.
"Kediss." The man smiled without turning around. "Did you manage to kill Krista?"
"Mr. Kandilu." The woman’s voice behind him was icy, as if it could freeze anything at any mont. "Please don’t mock ."
A woman, dressed in a large blue military robe and wearing a feathered hat, appeared behind the man. The sorrowful skull mask on her head was full of cracks, barely covering half her face.
Her military robe was covered in scorched battle damage and holes, indicating she had just experienced a terrifying battle with an opponent skilled with axes and fire.
"Well... forget it. What kind of person is this so-called ’Black Dragon Mage’? You must have seen her, right?"
Kandilu thought about the previous failures of the foolish wolves he had sent to capture her.
The "Red Wolf rcenary Corps" might be worthless in his eyes, but they were still a well-known rcenary group in Solitudis Locum.
Although he hadn’t expected those fools to bring back the "Black Dragon Mage," their swift and decisive defeat was surprising.
"I saw her." Kediss recalled the events before her battle with the Vassal of The Fla. The "Black Dragon Mage," the woman sitting in the wolf-drawn carriage...
Indeed, she felt the resonance of another "Chosen One" from her. Unexpectedly, there was another "Chosen One" beside Krista Eva, one who is not ntioned in any report, a boy who looked only thirteen.
As for the vehicle the boy was driving... it seems to be a normal carriage that is pulled by... giant wolves? As expected, no "Chosen One" would be ordinary. Sadly, the cowards of the [Mutual Aid Society] wouldn’t understand.
That rabbit who was once like a sister to her.... alas, she didn’t understand either.
"What is her ’Prototype Entity’?"
"They fled as soon as they saw , leaving only the rabbit to fight ." Kediss replied, "So, I couldn’t approach her."
"So you don’t know, huh... So, can we assu the ’Black Dragon Mage’ has joined the ’Mutual Aid Society’?"
"Maybe. She was with the female Hero and should now be in the Dwarven Empire."
The female Hero and the "Black Dragon Mage" went towards the pass town, likely having reached Dying Steel Citadel by now.
If they had, there was no way to pursue them. After the battle with the rabbit, she was injured, unfit for another high intensity battle, furthermore, the Dying Steel Citadel... was a monster’s den.
Though she hated to admit it... the "Bookworm", the President of the Mutual Aid Society , despite being a cowardly man who loved to do things from the background rather than fighting in the front line, was an opponent she did not want to face.
The "Bookworm" and the rabbit were both God’s [Chosen One], but even if there’s a hundred of her, she still wouldn’t dare to fight him, since the chance of her beating the "Bookworm" would still be zero..
"Hey, Kediss, what kind of country is the Dwarven Empire?"
A small figure crouched by the window spoke up.
The small figure’s dressed in white, with a pumpkin head, with the pumpkin face being carved so that it looked like a desperate face twisted in distress.
There’s a white kitten in the figure hand.
"ow," the kitten called, jumping to the ground.
"I’ve said before, I hate cats. Why did you bring one, Plata?" Kandilu’s voice grew displeased at the sound of the cat.
"Stop lying~ You don’t hate cats, you fear them." Plata raised her right hand, making the sleeve hide the mouth part of her pumpkin head, and let out a chuckle.
Kandilu didn’t reply, just snapped his fingers. The stone floor sparked, startling the cat, which jumped back into Plata’s arms.
"Well, well, am I late?"
The wooden door suddenly opened, and a woman in black, wearing a witch’s hat, entered the house from the snowstorm.
Unlike the others, her face was not covered by a mask... well, if the joyously stitched face made of various skins didn’t count.
"Actually, you’re right on ti, Ms. Lila." Kediss said.
"Well, long ti no see, Kediss." Lila chuckled, walking up to Kediss, her face twisted at an odd angle, looking at Kediss, "So, those corpses I left outside... there were seventy-sothing last I checked. Why are there only thirteen now?"
"..." Kediss, expressionless, didn’t look at Lila.
"Well, whatever, I’ll just make more! What do you want this ti? Pig head, human body? Or three snake heads on an ogre body?"
"Lila, enough." Kandilu interrupted Lila’s mad rant.
"Yes, boss." Lila twirled and stepped aside, "So, boss, why did you gather the four faces of ’Dawn Hunter’?"
Joy, Anger, Sorrow, Despair.
The four faces of Dawn Hunter, four monsters in a chaotic era, each praying for one of the four desires...
"It’s ti we deliver the deciding attack.." Kandilu smiled.
