The Dark King - Chapter 478

Chapter 478

The knight who dragged the Jura's body returned to the living room . He walked straight below the stairs . If he turned to looked at the stairs above him he would see a twisted face which was smiling .

The knight bent down and pulled out another corpse . It belonged to a middle-aged male . The legs were broken and there were many scars on the body . His eyes were wide open too .

The knight felt suffocated because of the smell emitted from the corpse . As he was near the stairs he felt uncomfortable as he dropped the body and turned to look at the stairs . It was empty but it felt as if there was someone there . Dust floated on air .

He sighed in relief . He thought that he saw someone for a moment .

The knight didn't dare to delay the situation as he grabbed the corpse of the male and dragged it away . Even though he was a believer of the Holy Church but he still felt that some hidden invisible spirit was staring at himself .

Soon, he removed the second corpse and quickly ran back . He bent down to grab the corpse . This time he didn't need to drag the body because it belonged to a child who was eight or nine years old . The eyes of the child were gouged out . The kid had gone through a miserable death .

He left the place . Dean appeared at the stairs again .

"Captain, I've moved all of them . " A voice echoed from outside .

"Oh . . . I'm here . " Another voice echoed from outside: "Damn it! Too smelly! "

"Yes! Ah! God knows how many days it has been that they were killed . " The knight who previously carried the bodies said .

Captain replied: "Don't be worried about the smell . Put them inside the bags!"

"Captain, why only two of us are working on this case?"

"Your mother! You are asking way too many questions . "

Dean slowly went down the stairs to listen to both of them to speak . Dean's body was shrouded in the darkness so his face wasn't seen . He didn't make the slightest voice as he walked down the stairs . He turned his head and looked at room from where the previous knight who was draggin the bodies .

The room was messy . Blood was splattered all around . The furnitures were knocked over .

Dean's eyes had turned dark . It seemed that even if your burned flames in front of him their reflection would be swallowed by the darkness in his eyes . He watched the room in silence . He had rich hunting experience so his mind automatically visualized the scene .

He saw three of them struggle . . .

Even a blind person would see that this wasn't a suicide but an brutal killing!

He smelled the air . The killings didn't happen two days ago but at least half a month before . . .

The temperatures were very low because they were in the middle of the black snow season . That's why the bodies rotted late .

Who killed them?

Dean's eyes were dark and empty .

"Damn it! I lost my appetite because of the smell!" The captain's voice echoed .

Dean slowly turned his head as he looked through the gap in the window towards the two . The previous knight carried the corpses into the back of the carriage stood in front of the captain: "Captain, they were killed so miserably . It seems like a revenge so why did they say that it was a suicide?"

"Shut up you idiot!" Captain snapped: "It's decided by the people from above! If they say that it's a suicide then it's a suicide! Are you some kind of saint or priest? We are just executing the orders and nothing more . You need to learn a lot of things . Don't forget sometimes you have to open one of your eyes while to close the other one . Otherwise you will end up like one of these that you carried!"

"Open one and close the other? Captain, but isn't it an injustice?"

"Are you still asking questions?"

"Yes . . . yes . . . No questions . . . "

They left the place as the carriage moved .

Dean looked at them then his body disappeared from the living room .

The next moment he appeared on manor at street no 73 . He knocked the door .

The door opened as brawny man looked at Dean: "Who are you?"

"I heard that an accident happened in the next house . Did you see anything?" Dean asked in a hoarse voice .

Brawny man's face sank: "Screw off!" He tried to close the door but failed .

Dean raised his left hand and held the door . The man's body shivered as he felt the door cool down .

"Tell me everything that you know . " Dean said .

The man swallowed saliva as he felt that the grim reaper was pointing its scythe at his neck: "I-I don't know . I know that half a month ago when it was raining a group of people came to the manor . I heard screams all over the night . I haven't seen the family since then . The passerbies had sensed the smell and reported to the magistrate . The people from the magistrate came over yesterday and that's how I learned that the family had committed suicide . . . "

"Half a month ago . . . " Dean pondered . He remembered that half a month ago Jura had come to check himself .

He looked at the man: "Don't tell anyone that I asked for anything . Otherwise your family will make a suicide too!"

The man's legs trembled . He could see that Dean wasn't making a joke: "I-I won't talk . . . "

Dean looked at the direction where the carriage had left . His body flashed and he disappeared like a ghost .

The man was scared and almost shouted out loud . Hoever he raised his hand to cover his mouth . He didn't dare to make a sound as he closed the door in hurry . He decided to move from this unlucky and dangerous neighborhood .

It didn't take long for Dean to trace the carriage .

Perhaps because of the probable smell problem the carriage didn't enter the main streets but went through the remote suburbs . At the moment black snow was gradually falling from the sky . The carriage went along a desolate and quite trail . A squeky voice echoed from the carriage as it moved .

Dean was far behind but he understood the destination the carriage was heading too .

The carriage came to stop in front of snow-capped mountains after 10 minutes . The black snow covered the mountainside .

This place was the location of the three volcanoes that were in the outer wall area . It was a natural crematorium .

The land prices were very expensive in the commercial district . That's why vast majority of people couldn't afford to bury their relatives in the cemeteries . As a result the corpses of the dead were cremated in the Xiwage volcano . According to the rumors the phrase 'Xi wa ge' meant 'heaven' in the language of the ancient ones .

Both knights carried the bags as they walked towards the volcano .

Both of them seemed tired . The captain looked at the knight who was panting: "We will bury them in the first magma pool that we find . "

The knight looked around and found a magma pool that was close to him .

There were few tombstones by the pool which were crooked .

Captain commanded: "Throw them . "

The knight threw the bags .

Dean clenched his fingers into a fist but he didn't move . He would be able to effortlessly kill both of them but an investigation would be opened and his identity was bound to be exposed this way .

His heart trembled because of anger but he had to tolerate .

all three corpses were thrown into the slowly flowing magma pool in a blink of an eye . However they didn't sink . It seemed that the pool was very shallow .

"Let's go . " Captain gestured as he turned away .

Knight looked once more at the slowly sinking bags then turned to leave .

A figure teleported by the magma pool after both of them left . Dean quickly shot inside the pool and stood by the bags . The bags were burning .

Dean slowly opened the bags . Three faces were revealed . They were staring at the distant sky as if asking for an answer .

Dean's face was stiff . The nails of his fingers had ripped into palms . The temperature was extremely high but he ignored it . Many pictures emerged in his mind as he remembered the time when his adoptive mother selected him .

In this cold world the only one who smiled at him with warmth was her .

He wanted to cry out but he couldn't shed tears .

Everything streamed in front of his eyes as if it happened moments ago .

But his heart was frozen . . . He couldn't make a sad expression to react to the sight in front of his eyes .

What is this sadness?

He gentle touched the woman's face .

Dean thought that he would be able to pay them back for their affection if he brought them into the commercial district and gave them a house . He wanted them to stay away from him so that they wouldn't be affected by his business . However they were still implicated because of him .

He slowly stood up, took the three bags and left the place .

Dean came to stop near a small forest near the Xiwage volcano . He broke of branches and set up fire to cremate the three corpses . After the cremation he took his clothes and wrapped the ashes with them .

"You won't die just like this . "

"They will pay hundreds of thousands of times more!"

"They will kowtow before being buried!"

Dean walked through the forest as the black snow fell on his shoulders . His eyes were darker than the black snow .
