Walking in the forest full of fallen leaves, it wasn't difficult for Li Ke to see messy scarecrows one after another. Some of these scarecrows had clothes, some didn't even have clothes, and some didn't even have a broken sack. But without exception, these scarecrows maintained a strange appearance as if they were doing something. Most of the scarecrows that didn't move were broken and lying on the ground as if they had been destroyed by someone.
"This cut …"
When Li Ke walked to a scarecrow that had fallen on the road, he saw that this scarecrow had a very obvious cut on its body. Unlike the scarecrows that were pulled out or burned, this scarecrow's damage was obviously caused by a sword.
"It's about 20 centimeters long and has an arc, but the cut is a straight line. It was obviously cut by a one-handed sword, and the person who used the sword is probably only two palms shorter than me."
Li Ke squatted down and carefully examined the scarecrow that had a button on the sack as its eyes. Then he checked the cut on its head. Then he found that the scarecrow's limbs were all cut off, and the ends were smooth and neat. It was obvious that it was cut by a veteran sword user. But here came the question. What kind of swordsman would waste his physical strength to chop a scarecrow into such a state?
Li Ke raised his head in doubt, but as soon as he looked up, he felt something moving behind him. It was like the sound of a tree branch swaying. He immediately turned his head, but found that there was nothing except for those scarecrows. And those scarecrows were still swaying gently in the wind. Just when he thought that he was being too careful, he found that one of the scarecrows' feet was constantly knocking on the trunk under the influence of the wind. And as the wind became stronger and stronger, it was as if an angry person was kicking the trunk.
Or rather, it was running.
The next moment, a gust of wind blew, and all the scarecrows began to sway irregularly. And because some of the branches were blown away, Li Ke also saw many scarecrows that were previously hidden. And after the gust of wind passed, these exposed scarecrows didn't disappear. Instead, they appeared in a more distorted posture in front of Li Ke. And the scarecrows from before also changed their posture.
Li Ke didn't know whether it was the effect of the wind or magic, but he was very sure that this situation was definitely abnormal. It was obvious that something was targeting him. And as if to verify Li Ke's thoughts, Atokus behind him also spoke.
"It looks like … you've encountered a big problem again. I say, can't you control your magic? If this goes on, I may not do anything, but I'm afraid that you'll become the most unpopular person in the world before I deal with you. After all, I don't think anyone will like a person who causes trouble wherever he goes.. "
Control my magic?
Upon hearing Atokus' words, Li Ke first became vigilant, and then had another doubt because whether it was Ai Weng or Atokus, they seemed to have a direct understanding of his magic. And they knew a lot of information that he didn't know. The only thing he was sure of was that his magic was definitely not as simple as he thought. And now, Atokus' words seemed to prove that his magic still had a function that he didn't want.
An ability that was likely to 'trigger fights'.
But with Yatoku's current attitude and the situation here, even if he knew, it would be useless. After all, learning magic in the forbidden Demacia was only possible if he married Miss Alice or Karina. After all, although he vaguely knew that there were places where magic was taught in Demacia, that was exclusive to nobles.
"If you don't want to give me a solution, then shut up."
So he pulled out Atokus while wrapping a chain around his hand. He wanted to try whether this forbidden magic stone chain given to him by the Bouvier Family was useful or not. After all, his own forbidden magic stone couldn't affect it at all, and Atokus didn't know if it could affect him, so he could only try it on these monsters.
"Hah, that's up to you."
Atokus, who didn't perceive too much danger, or rather, who was no longer afraid of anything after becoming a Dark Kin, chose to remain silent at this moment. After all, he didn't think that there was anything here that could threaten them. To be precise, he didn't think that there was anything here that could threaten him. After all, even if he had fallen to this point, he was still one of the most powerful creatures in the world!
"You don't have to tell me!"
Li Ke swung his chain and whipped the spiked end of the chain at the scarecrow that was constantly kicking the tree. But to his surprise, his chain smashed the scarecrow into pieces in an instant. The scarecrow didn't struggle at all.
"Did I guess wrong?"
Li Ke thought subconsciously. Then he suddenly felt his heart palpitate, and a dazed voice came from his brain.
"Send this guy up. Even if he's a piece of trash, he can still be used to warm up the arena."
The voice, which had long become unfamiliar, appeared in Li Ke's mind. In a daze, he saw a fully armed warrior walking towards him, then grabbing the chain around his neck. No matter how hard he struggled, there was no reaction!
This is my first time in a gladiator fight!
He suddenly realized this, and then his consciousness returned to reality. However, the fear, the feeling of being unable to escape no matter how hard he tried, the stench in the cell, and the faint pain of being beaten by the other prisoners made Li Ke feel a sense of nostalgia. His face suddenly turned gloomy because he just remembered the darkest moment of his life. When he faced his first gladiator fight in the arena, he made a fool of himself, and …
After being easily defeated, his arms were broken. Then, starting from his toes, he smashed his thighs inch by inch with a spiked hammer, breaking his bones, removing his flesh, and exposing his nerves to the air and soil. Then, he fed them to the beast he raised.
Although the gladiator and his beast were sucked dry of their vitality and turned into corpses when he was in despair, he would never forget the experience of that day. And it was precisely because he survived that battle that he was branded with the emblem of a slave on his right hand. He thought that after he was free, he would never have to think about that dark day and wake up from his dream again. But now, because of this unknown monster, he was once again reminded of these dark memories.
"It doesn't matter who or what it is …"
Li Ke's eyes were instantly tainted by a crimson force. When he, who had already transformed, faced fear again, he was no longer dominated by it like before. Instead, he chose to face his fear head-on and vowed to find it.
"… He has to die!"
As the flaming chain swung at the scarecrows around him, his and Yatokus's voices rang in his heart.
Tear him into pieces!
