The representative of Kate Trading Company was sent flying and crashed into the two guards behind him.
The tremendous impact caused the representative and the two guards behind him to roll on the ground. Even the other two merchant representatives from Aïtantin Castle were caught in the blast.
Everyone fell on the ground.
A painful groan sounded, but it stopped abruptly.
The [Dark Potion Gun] in Kieran's hand started to sparkle.
Bang!
After a second of charging, [Dark Potion Gun] fired out six air bullets, the maximum number of bullets it could muster.
The Powerful attack of the air bullets was fired in a 120 ° fan shape and instantly enveloped and perforated the creature in front of Kieran.
From the moment Kieran kicked to the moment he fired the gun, only a little more than a second had passed.
No one at the scene reacted to the shot.
A few seconds after the gunshots subsided, the crowd cried out in shock.
"Murder!"
"Who are you?"
"Why did you shoot?"
"Put down your guns!"
Similar cries sounded one after another.
The guards who were running back from afar drew their swords and knives and pointed their muskets at Kieran. Borl, who was standing behind Kieran, drew his musket without a second thought and pointed it back at the guards, showing no signs of backing down.
Pol still didn't know why Kieran fired the gun.
But it didn't stop Pol from standing on Kieran's side.
He thought it was the right thing to do.
In fact …
So did he.
A moment later, sizzling noises came from the bodies.
The corpses that were supposed to be lifeless started to swell up, turning into monsters that were two to three meters tall with grayish skin and sharp fangs.
However, the bodies didn't change at all.
The wounds on their bodies didn't change at all.
Death had shrouded them.
"What happened?"
"How did the lords do this?"
Cries of shock sounded again but this time, every single one of the guards put down their weapons. They looked at Kieran with confusion and questions, hoping for an answer.
Kieran, on the other hand, turned his attention to the remaining representatives.
When Kieran's gaze swept past them, the merchant representatives retreated in fear.
They hadn't forgotten how Kieran had attacked without saying a word.
However, just as they took a step back, a blood-curdling scream rang out.
"Ahhhh!"
The man in the cloth hat and cotton coat, who was chosen by the merchants, suddenly let out a painful howl.
Then, something terrifying happened.
The opponent's body began to disappear.
Starting from his limbs, it was as if he was being devoured by something invisible.
Bit by bit.
The crowd could even hear the sound of flesh and bones being chewed.
"S-save me!"
The other party sensed death approaching and began to cry for help.
But soon, the tongue in his mouth started to disappear.
Along with the disappearance of the tongue, the head was swiftly devoured.
Soon enough, all four limbs including the head were gone, leaving only a torso on the ground.
Everyone looked at the torso that was bleeding profusely. Their faces turned pale and they panicked.
"What the hell is going on?"
The guard leader from Kate Trading Company couldn't help but ask.
But no one answered him.
Because …
More screams rang out.
Those merchants who paid the fees fell to the ground one after another.
They were also being devoured.
However, the direction of the devouring and the degree of the devouring were different.
Some started from the hands, some started from the feet, and some stopped after the hands and feet were devoured. Some only ended after a small part of the body was devoured.
It was natural that the latter couldn't survive.
As for the former?
Screams sounded one after another.
"Someone, bandage them up."
Hurry up! "
The guard leader from Kate Trading Company shouted at his men.
He then went straight to Kieran and Pol.
After a quick glance, the guard leader knew who the mastermind was and bowed at Kieran.
"Sir, I'm sorry for my rashness, please forgive me.
I am the guard leader of the merchant group, Kagu.
If it's possible, can you tell me what happened here? "
The guard leader named Kagu asked politely.
As the guard leader of Kate Trading Company, who was responsible for the safety of the merchant group from Aïtantin Castle to the border, Kagu's abilities were unquestionable, but more importantly, his knowledge and quick reflexes were what made him the most.
Kagu had seen too many things during his more than ten years of traveling as a merchant.
Based on his experience, Kagu already knew what he should do in the face of an unknown situation.
Sometimes, being more courteous was not a bad thing.
"Some pagans sneaked in.
They used their own characteristics to make some contracts.
"They are all people who signed the contract willingly."
After a brief description of the situation, Kieran headed towards the side of the forest.
Pol wanted to follow but Kieran was too fast. Pol only took two steps before Kieran was gone.
Helplessly shaking his head, Pol turned around.
"You must be Mr. Pol, right?
"Can you explain it to me in detail?"
Or should I say, how should we prevent this kind of thing from happening again? "
Kagu quickly and precisely called out Pol's name.
In his heart, Kagu thought of Pol's details.
A merchant who made a living at the border of Mozaar.
Decent abilities.
Very brave.
Broke the rules before.
Yet he wouldn't cause trouble.
He was a safe 'guest'.
As the guard leader of Kate Trading Company, Kagu knew what kind of people could join the convoy and what kind of people he had to pay attention to.
Pol wasn't surprised though.
If Kieran didn't even have such abilities, Kieran would have to wonder what he relied on to get to his current position.
His face?
Definitely not.
Kieran might have had a decent face when he was young, but the constant running of the merchant group had taken a toll on his face. Half of his hair was bald and the top of his head was reflecting the moonlight and firelight.
No matter how good-looking a person was, once he was bald, it would be hopeless.
Not only would he look old, but he would also look wretched.
It would be better to just shave his head.
Might as well shave it all off.
Borl said slowly as he ran his hand through his thick hair.
"What happened, I'm not sure at the moment.
"But we are safe."
After all, we have Sir Corin with us. "
Pol said confidently.
"Sir Corin?"
Kagu frowned with slight hesitation.
"Believe me, there's no place safer than being by Sir Colin's side!"
Pol emphasized.
Kagu seemed to be convinced, he nodded and turned around to comfort his men and the others.
However, the moment he turned around, Kagu lowered his head slightly and a sinister smile appeared on his face. He muttered something from his throat.
"Is that so?"
Only he could hear his muttering, he wasn't worried about others hearing him. But at that moment, a faint reply came from behind him.
"Yeah."
