Chapitre 283: Varied

"What....have you done...? Do you have any idea the kind of hornet's nest you just set ablaze?"

Gertrude couldn't believe his eyes.

He was dead.

'His' brother, their master's favorite disciple was just killed off in a no-name kingdom out in the sticks somewhere. And it was THEIR job to protect him. They would have to answer for this, along with every living creature in this kingdom.

Their fate was now sealed.

He looked up at the masked figure standing atop the black serpent with rage-filled eyes. Why couldn't it have been one of them that was attacked? No, why were they attacked in the first place?!

"AHH!"

With a roar, Gertrude gripped his greatsword and swung it down in front of him. As it connected with the earth, a shockwave cut the ground in half and shot towards the serpent that was coming out of the pit.

Rhea had much of the same reaction. In their organization, failure meant death, and with Alex's sudden demise, they had just failed their missions as well.
