Origin Of Evil 31 Plenty Of Sacrifice

Dorian couldn't help but sigh as he faded in the shadows. He had promised himself that today he would be Dorian and not the butcher, and yet he had already killed two people and was about to slaughter some more.

But he would rather break the promise he had made himself rather than letting Jun and Jok'ii die because of his mistake. What he intended to do was to kill those intruders and leave none alive so that the others in the city won't know what happened.

Then, when they will be told that this is the hideout of the Butcher and demons by those kids, the adults will think that they were traumatized by the 'near-death' experience and will ignore the demon part.

Though, Dorian's real ident.i.ty was probably screwed, although he didn't really care as the reason he put a mask on first wasn't to hide his ident.i.ty but allow him to sneak attack Red Scorpion members.

Dorian started climbing quickly one of the walls thanks to his ability [Basic Movement Mastery] which was at level ten, and spotted the cautiously advancing intruders. They were Red Scorpion members.

After all, the authorities had no reason to attack this place, the City Lord had no enmity with Dorian. Dorian continued to climb and arrived behind them, but he did not attack and instead tailed them, waiting for them to reach the two Sadunites.

The group was composed of thirty elites, they were chasing after the Butcher after all, but that wouldn't be enough.

The finally arrived to the bottom of the cave, and the ones in front of the group froze in shock at the two Sadunites' sight. After all, even though humans knew of other species, Sadunites seemed to be rare or just too much like demons in appearance.

Anyway, the elites proved themselves to be past soldiers because even though they held some shock at first, they recovered quickly and resumed to make their way to the two 'demons'.

They looked pretty confident, and the on who seemed to be the leader said out loud "You… Who are you?!" Jun replied "We are Sadunites and we are trapped here. We mean no harm."

The leader sneered though and said "Sure, why are those two tied there?" Jok'ii replied with a frown "You red robed friend killed them."

The leader shuddered and multiple voices said weakly "The Butcher was here!"

The leader's grip tightened on his sword and he said "Die demons!" Jun sighed and said "We tried to help you."

The gangsters started running toward the two Sadunites, when suddenly one of them backstabbed another with his sword. The gangsters were shocked but immediately put it on the demon's fault. They ganged on the brainwashed elite.

But as they did so, a dagger suddenly flew by and another had his throat slashed open. The soldiers looked at the dagger in fear, but fortunately for them it was only one dagger.

The brainwashed elite was immediately killed, and the remaining elites looked at the two Sadunites in anger. After all, their friend was killed by them. But this time, they learned their lessons and didn't look straight in their eyes.

That made them vulnerable to the flying dagger, but there were thirty of them so they would kill the two Sadunites before all dying.

But as they were running at the two, a shadow suddenly appeared behind them. It was Dorian of course. Armed with his two daggers, he rushed in the group of elites and went right through them.

Before they even saw him, five elites were killed, and Dorian had arrived at the front of the group, and used his strength to stop the charging group.

But there were still more than twenty elites, so Dorian could only stop a part of them. His spread arms suddenly crossed each other, slas.h.i.+ng three of the elites' throats.

Then, he rolled backwards, dodging the swords about to pierce through his body. At the same time, Jun possessed yet another elite about to attack Dorian, while Jok'ii killed another.

Dorian grinned at the two's support and rushed back through the group. Although he couldn't stop them, his strength was enough to let him go through their group.

His action caused the group to split the group in two, and also put Dorian on the back of the group again, leaving them no chance to escape.

For the following minute, a slaughter took place. Dorian did most of the work, his abilities allowed him to simply tear through that group and kill them with no real danger. With the two Sadunites help, it was really easy.

Even the two Sadunites were in no danger because every time a gangster tried to approach them and they couldn't stop him, Dorian would throw one of the weapons that littered the ground at the attacker.

Bodies littered the ground, dismembered limbs and heads every here and there. Dorian looked at the blood that seemed to form a lake.

He almost didn't feel anything. That kind of scared Dorian, he feared he was becoming a cold blooded monster, or was he one already?

Dorian sighed and looked at the two Sadunites. Jun and Jok'ii were actually throwing up. Dorian was surprised, then angry at himself for being surprised. He had just followed every other human, he had a.s.sumed they wouldn't be disgusted by the slaughter because they weren't humans.

But actually, Sadunites had feelings too, and none of the two were seasoned fighters, this was probably one of the rare fights they ever had considering the way they fought.

For example, Jok'ii who only targeted the throats of the elites. But that made it way harder for him to hit, he would have been more efficient if he had targeted the joints and crippled them.

To Dorian, it made him think of zombies. A newbie zombie hunter would target the heads because only a hit to the head would kill it, but a true fighter would actually aim for the knees. This would cripple the zombie and it wouldn't be much more dangerous than a dead one.

So in the end, going past the fact Jun and Jok'ii weren't humans, it was perfectly understandable they would throw up.

Dorian didn't go to them but instead checked the corpses on the ground. He didn't take any risk, and started kicking the corpses. But in the end, all of them were really dead.

Dorian looked at the two and saw they weren't throwing up anymore, although they both looked a little pale… Well, as pale as they can get.

Jun looked at Dorian and asked with a small smile "Are you cold blooded or did you throw up in your mask?"

Dorian smiled and said "Take a guess." Jun shook his head and said "Let's begin the sacrifice, shall we?"

Dorian nodded and asked "What do you do exactly?" Jok'ii replied "We are throwing those bodies in the water to let the Heart of the Mountain absorb it. The only way for us to be freed is to either destroy the heart, or feed it enough energy to free ourselves. Because we can't destroy it, we give it corpses to strengthen itself."

Dorian looked at the corpses behind and said "Those corpses should help then. Why do you tie them up though?"

Jun replied "Because when we throw multiple of them, they tend to get everywhere and the Heart takes too long to swallow them, its attraction force is very weak. So if we tie them together, and drops them above the Heart, they don't get everywhere and it's much faster."

Dorian nodded and asked "Is there any correlation between the sacrifice's strength and the energy absorbed?"

Jun shrugged and said "We don't really know, the heart never talked to us or anything. In theory, the heart absorbs the latent Life Essence in sacrifices. So as long as the sacrifice has practiced from a manual, its Life Essence should be stronger and the energy absorbed better."
