He could faintly hear the approaching clattering sound of horse hooves.
Even from a distance, Bernal could feel the sickening aura of death.
The hoofbeats and the deathly aura came from a squad of knights who had come to search for Bernal.
The person in the lead was none other than Victor, who Bernal had killed in the dream.
“Uncle Victor.”
Bernal looked in the direction and said the name calmly.
Surprisingly, perhaps because he had experienced it once, Bernal did not feel too sad at the moment.
Realizing that, Bernal placed his hand on his heart and felt his heartbeat.
He looked at Victor and the others who had already entered his vision.
The abomination was identical to the one in the dream.
“Even so, I’m not moved?”
The corners of Bernal’s mouth curled up. In the face of the death of someone he knew, Bernal smiled.
“So that’s how it is? The price of the contract is stripping away my feeling of sorrow?”
After understanding this, Bernal reached out his hand toward Victor.
Gulp gulp!
At the same time, the black tide surged and attacked Victor and the others like a tsunami.
Having lost his emotion of sadness, Bernal expressionlessly attacked Victor and others who were already mutated.
He even found it fascinating.
“As guardians of the city and the knights of the country, this is not enough!”
Bernal seemed as happy as a child seeing a toy.
“Let me help you guys a little!”
Beside him, Alia watched all of this in silence. She watched as Victor and the others got swallowed by the black tide.
Alia looked at the black waters on the ground, her dark eyes reflecting the insides of the black tide.
The strange and ominous dark energy invaded the bodies of the knights and transformed them.
“Hehehe! Once you guys become stronger, I’m sure my father will be happy too!”
Perhaps due to the influence of his body, Bernal acted like a child in his style and words.
“But I’m tired of getting attacked by monsters all the time.”
Bernal seemed to have thought of something as he looked around the monster forest.
Ever since he came to this world, his impression of the monster forest had been poor.
No one could treat an existence that could threaten their life kindly.
For a long time, the monster forest had been his nightmare.
However, all of this could finally come to an end today.
The nightmare that had plagued him for a long time was about to end.
“Arghhh!”
Painful wails sounded from the black tide and reverberated through the entire forest.
Gulp gulp!
Soon, the devoured knights stood up from the black tide again.
An unknown black liquid flowed down their bodies. At this moment, the once detestable knights were gone, and they had returned to their original appearances.
If one ignored the dripping black water, they looked no different from ordinary people..
