Hero of Darkness

Chapter 41: All out Hunt

In a fortress in the South of the Flavot city, a group of high-ranking soldiers and military officers were discussing amongst themselves.

THUD!

A loud thud was heard in the room as a middle-aged man donned in high quality and well-crafted white armor banged his fist on the table.

"How the hell did this happen?! There are a total of 26 bodies now. The first time could be considered luck but yesterday there were even more victims despite putting the city under surveillance. And how's that Azrael killing so many people in a single night who are far away from each other's location?" asked the fully armored man.

"Captain Nordak, we think that it's not done by one person but an entire group. Because the way these murders were committed without causing any commotion or alerting a single guard on duty.. Even if he is an assassin, it won't be easy to kill so many people in a single night. Besides, one would need to be a mage to create a silencing barrier to prohibit any noise to leak out of the scene, and an experienced assassin to land the killing blow by surprise." said one of the elderly men sitting on a chair next to the captain's table.

Suddenly, a young black and long-haired woman interjected.

"If I may Captain.. We found that there was no sign of struggle at the crime scenes. It was just one quick attack to either heart or neck and that too came from the front and not the back. All the cases indicate that the victim actually saw the killer coming in front of them and still they died without a chance to resist at all." said the woman.

"Lieutenant Beatrice.. If what you say is true then we have a problem. The killer may be someone extremely experienced at killing and also is too strong.. Maybe at the Peak Master rank. For now, he's only killing the lowlife criminals. But if this continues, everyone in the city will laugh at us. And you too know what will happen if Commander decides to intervene.." said the captain of city guards.

The Lieutenant's face turned grim and looked horrified just by the mention of their Commander.

"Yes, Captain. I'm tightening the security & adding hundred more soldiers. But I want to suggest that we put on a curfew at late night." said the black-haired woman.
