Jeanne widened her almond-shaped eyes, looking at the old man who passed away with a smile on his face. She was so angry that her body was trembling.
"I'll let you see clearly how I'll destroy your so-called 'miracle'!"
Jeanne uttered each and every word.
Then, orders were given out one after another from the palace.
All the nobles in the imperial city were mobilized.
In a place that commoners couldn't see, all the gangs received their orders.
They gathered at the gates of King's City.
...
Even though Kieran thought he had a good understanding of the Night Owl's speed, explosiveness, and endurance, when he saw the huge city further away, he realized he had underestimated the Night Owl.
In less than an hour!
The Night Owl that carried him and a lot of equipment had covered the distance that would take other excellent warhorses five hours to cover.
"What a pity!
If there was no limit to the number of times … "
Kieran sighed in his heart when he saw the [Night Owl Token] that displayed [Remaining: 3].
After feeling the benefits of the Night Owl, Kieran's heart unconsciously had other thoughts.
Maybe he could get more [Night Owl Tokens]?
This was not a whimsical thought.
All he had to do was to plan a little when he entered [The Shaman's Partner 3] dungeon.
Of course, that was something for the future.
As for now?
Kieran looked at the city further away.
Under the night sky, the city was brightly lit up.
The lights almost lit up the night sky, indicating the prosperity and prosperity of the city.
As the imperial city of Warren, Riverdale had a permanent population of more than a hundred thousand. In addition to the surrounding towns and cities, the total population was more than a hundred and fifty thousand.
The number was just the tip of the iceberg when compared to the city that Kieran lived in.
However, in this medieval dungeon world, it was an astonishing number.
At the moment, the astonishing city was overflowing with people.
In front of the straight, tall city gate, there was a group of almost ten thousand people gathered.
There were city guards in leather armors with long spears in their hands.
There were private soldiers of the nobles with luxurious outfits and longswords in their hands.
There were also gang members with strange figures and cloaks.
There was a clear distinction between them, and yet they mingled together.
They crowded on top of the supposedly wide city wall and cast mocking and disdainful gazes at Kieran, but all of them were filled with killing intent.
"Soldiers, nobles, gangsters …"
"Gather in front of me as soon as I give the order!"
"He really has the entire Warren Kingdom in his hands!"
Kieran instinctively recalled Bosco's description of Jeanne James in the Imperial City: "She can cover the sky with one hand."
The situation in front of him was really like 'covering the sky with one hand'.
Ever since Kieran knew his enemy was Jeanne and got to know her forces from Bosco, he never dared to underestimate her.
However, when he saw the dense crowd in front of him, he realized that Jenny James's power was greater than he had imagined.
However, this was not a reason for Kieran to stop.
He looked at the mixed crowd before him and felt the aura that was far inferior to the soldiers of Thunder Fortress. He raised his right hand.
The black metal ring on his index finger, inlaid with a ruby, suddenly blossomed with a dazzling brilliance under the night sky.
The light was like blood and frost, turning into a rainbow that shone over Riverdale.
The aggressive crowd was stunned for a moment.
Then, they saw Kieran and Nightingale's bodies suddenly grow countless times bigger.
The black mantle on Kieran's body turned into a black flame that burned the sky.
The moon and the stars dimmed down.
The night sky vanished as a result.
Indescribable darkness truly shrouded the land at the next moment.
As if it had experienced a ten-year drought, the land in the darkness became riddled with holes and cracked like a net. The people who were supposed to be dead in their hearts began to crawl out from the cracks, opened their jaws that had long been rotten to the point of bones, and with resentful roars, they rushed towards them.
"Kill!
"Hate!"
Grudge!
Regret! "
The gigantic Kieran was like a judge, he opened his mouth and shouted, each word sounded like thunder.
It shook the crowd further away, shattering their courage.
"It's not me who killed you!
I didn't do it on purpose!
Spare me! I beg you, spare me! "
…
Screams came from the city gate one after another. The crowd that seemed to have quite an imposing aura was instantly messed up.
The crowd stepped on each other in order to run faster.
However, no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't escape [Deadman's Gaze]'s range.
The moment they locked eyes with Kieran, they fell into [Fear Illusion]'s effect …
The ending was already decided!
The messy crowd started to fall to the ground. From the first person coughing up blood to hundreds and thousands of people coughing up blood, less than a second later, more than half of the crowd fell at the city gate.
Facing the unknown, fear started to envelop the crowd like a plague.
Those who could still stand saw Kieran approaching on horseback. They shivered and stepped back, but more of them fell to the ground in a daze.
Their mouths unconsciously sang the ballad that was branded in their hearts.
"The mystery is the unknown, the unknown brings fear, death and fear go hand in hand. Oh man, oh man, stay away! Stay away!"
"Stay away! Stay away! "
Their voices were loud and soft.
They were faintly discernible in the night.
Those who were running away ran even faster.
They didn't just hear the ballad, they also heard the clear galloping of horses.
Dak Dak Dak!
The black figure of the Grim Reaper was getting closer.
One of the fleeing men fell to the ground the moment the figure caught up to him.
His face was twisted, his eyes were wide open, his body was twitching, his feces and urine were flowing out.
Then, his breath was gone.
The man was scared to death.
It made the panic spread even more.
Those who ran wished they had an extra pair of legs.
They ran in a panic, instinctively following the path they were most familiar with.
Coincidentally, none of the paths overlapped with the palace.
Looking at Kieran who was running towards the palace, these people couldn't help but heave a breath of relief. They escaped death.
But when they turned around and saw the pile of bodies on the ground, all of them shivered uncontrollably.
"D-Grim Reaper!"
A hooded gangster's teeth were clattering as he mumbled what was on his mind.
Beside him, a private soldier of a noble who was scared by the unknown started to mumble along in a daze.
"Grim Reaper! Grim Reaper! "
A moment later, the people who survived the disaster started to mumble.
Their voices sounded one after another.
It echoed throughout the streets of the imperial city.
The civilians who were scared to begin with became even more anxious.
They had no idea what happened.
As for the people who experienced it personally?
They found the answer for themselves: they met the Grim Reaper.
Other than the Grim Reaper, who else could reap lives and devour souls with a gaze?
Besides, they knew the Grim Reaper wasn't satisfied.
The scythe that was tainted with lives and souls and reeked of death hadn't been sheathed.
Instead, it was swung towards the palace.
There …
The real battle was about to begin!
