Hero of Darkness

Chapter 40: The Judge, The Jury & The Executioner

Kahn yawned as he finally opened his eyes after a decent sleep. He quickly freshened up and went to the canteen for breakfast as he woke up a little late than his usual time.

Kahn heard whispers amongst the people that were sitting on tables in groups, many speaking so quietly that one could not even make out any words. However, this wasn't the case for Kahn who had incredible hearing senses.

"So did you hear? All the dead bodies belonged to criminals who had records of violent acts but were never arrested due to lack of evidence.. I say this guy is doing good work." said a young man in his 20s.

"Good my ass. That's just another serial killer on the loose acting like he's some kind of hero. I say soon he'll start killing innocent citizens as well. The city security should find him as soon as they can." said another long-haired man in disagreement.

"Guys, don't forget how swiftly all of them were killed. Not a single one of them even saw it coming and died on the spot with those hard spear-like things. Some say those belong to dungeon monsters." said another member of the group who was seemed to be shook and scared.

"What are you worried about? Didn't it say that only sinners will face the judgement? Tell us, what crimes did you do?" said the 2nd guy and taunted his friend.

Kahn then focused on the gossips amongst the crowd and found that almost everyone in the city was now aware of the situation. Security guards and law enforcement authorities were also searching for the killer.

Kahn ate his breakfast indifferently as if this sensational news didn't bother him at all. He soon returned to his room and took out a book from his space ring.

It was one of the books the snakekin assassin had given him. He opened the book and read the contents again..

"A true professional indeed." said Kahn as he praised in amazement. Kahn took a pen that was on the study table in his room and crossed out 12 names on the list.

What the book contained was nothing else than the names, addresses, habits, known routines and places these people visited on regular basis.

The names of the people Kahn just crossed were none other than the dead people that were killed and impaled on the walls of the streets of Flavot city. And as for the killer who committed these acts of wanton murders.. It was none other than Kahn himself.
