Chapter 225 - The True Nature Of Mercenaries
The wind around the Husk Wolf body suddenly deformed; the Husk Wolf froze for a moment before its head sliced downward with a loud thump.
"Got two.
The sudden died from its kin alerted the Husk Wolf beside, its instinct began to tickle, told it to run along coupled its furs suddenly standing.
But before it moved its claws, the Husk Wolf froze the same as its kin before, coupled with its body splitting into two and fallen to the ground.
The process continues until there is no more sight of the Husk Wolves were standing...
"This should be ten, right?"
His voice echoed in his mind while from outside, his body was moving in such fast light speed, only leaving a trail of gush wind and red light from his burning blade.
The killing process was smooth like water; if not for his swordsman skill, he even doubts this pack of Husk Wolves was a fake. After all , according from the book he read, a Husk Wolf has a higher rating than a Dire Wolf.
Even the enemy was dead, Desmond still could not careless with his body circling around the battlefield, forming a circle trail that makes the soldiers and the mercenaries dumbfounded.
While doing this, Desmond also took notice of the huge dome on the battlefield.
"Amazing," Desmond praised silently with his lips curled up. But when he starts pondering," Why they set up a huge barrier like this?" Not only the mercenaries, but he also saw the soldiers were forming a formation like a turtle hiding on its shell.
Then, his feet suddenly stumbled upon something, which makes his speed halted for a moment.
" I see," Upon realizing what he stepped on, his mouth twitching and started looking around," That\'s why they are so scared; after all, they can\'t see me."
But then his eyes caught something approaching his position," It seemed I should go back right now." When he, the one who approaches him, saw Veronica, he hastily increased his speed and ran toward the inner dry forest.
....
Meanwhile, when Desmond left, the steel Legion mercenaries began deactivating their spell while welcoming their leader.
"Sister."
Veronica nodded and shifted her glances to her friend," It\'s really frustrating to cannot catch that thing!" she shouted in annoyance while making her way to the captain.
"Don\'t worry, at least none of us injured, and we lucky that being only killed the beasts," Raina replied with a sigh of relief.

....
After all, that unknown being is fearsome; it easily slashed the Husk Wolves like slicing bread, as a swordsman was known clearly that power already reached the same stage as her leader.
"Can\'t you see it? It\'s not a spell?" Veronica asked confusedly. After all, she only caught a glimpse of light. Even her eyes, as peak Swordsman class, can\'t follow its speed.
She even doubts that light is being; she thought light is a spell cast by an unknown Wizard/Witch.
"No, sister, I can confirm it\'s a being; there is no trace of natural energy following it." One of her members spoke up while hugging herself with trembling hands.
"Spread." Suddenly a loud voice was heard catching all the attention of Steel Legion members.
The rumble of footsteps sounded along with the rough chain sound from the steel armor wore by soldiers. One by one, the soldiers stop in a line, with their backs facing the carriages.
"Search for the remaining beasts. If you found one it alive, kill it on the spot!" The captain spoke with his chest puff out.
He warily looked around, searching for something, but when his eyes landed on Veronica, a hint of fear was seen, and he immediately withdraws his gaze and turned away.
What a fearsome woman, The captain, commented with him hear still loudly beating. A glare from her is enough to make him goosebumps, but when coupled with her brutality, his leg suddenly went limp.
Not far from them, on the right side of the dry forest. The battle also ended, with each member of Corps of Teleknights letting out a rough breath.
But strangely, their gaze was focused on the deep inside the dry forest. They have the same expression, worries, especially Vaurz, whose face was paled like he saw a ghost.
*crack* *crack*
Suddenly, a rubbing sound between the bushes was sounded, when the sound getting nearer, a young man with a handsome look and short white hair was seen, holding a sword with her platinum armor shining within darkness surrounded him.
"Ray," Vaurz spoke; he scanned him from bottom to the up like a mother before throwing a hug.
Upon seeing a muscle man throwing himself at him, Ray\'s face twitching as he dodges to the side, letting the muscle man fell.
"Leader." The rest of member was glad when they saw their leader was still alive and came back without missing any body parts.
"Good job all, even this job tough treat this as your small training," Ray spoke while scanning around the battlefield. This achievement could not be said great as their name already famous, but still, even a small achievement can be acknowledged by Guild as long it helps humankind or the respective kingdom.
"Wow." But when he glances to the right side of the dry forest, he found a beast\'s organ scatter while also notice some headless corpses of Husk Wolves. His eyes wide open, he could not believe the Steel Legion mercenaries famous for their beauty and kindness turned out to hide their true nature.
When the Corps of Teleknights heard what their captain said just now, they follow his gaze and shocked.
"It..can\'t be.." Vaurz, who just arrived beside his friend, was speechless. He then glances at the Steel Legion member and found them just casually weeping on the battlefield with the soldiers.
There is no disgust or guilty on their faces.
....
While the battlefield just ended, Desmond, who still inside the dry forest, was seen slicing every tail into small parts and store on his pockets.
He already checks his surrounding with the system and found a relatively safe spot to rest for a moment.
