Ikazuchi left Kaen in his home after he finally broke down due to his promise to make things right. He met the gaze of his wyvern that had been surrounded by children after exiting the building. This exchange was worth a thousand words as he simply nodded and sprinted off towards the human village first. He was very familiar with the Worth Woodsea, so he could navigate a large area around the tribe even without relying on his wyvern.
He radiated the same vibe as a predator as he moved, causing none of the creatures living in the area to bother him. They could tell that he was just passing through, and they instinctively knew better than to target him. If they stepped out right now, only death would await them. That was what the survival instincts of most of the creatures informed them.
Due to that fact, Ikazuchi arrived at the human village very quickly. It was large and well organized, clearly prospering due to the many guards that were patrolling and the activity behind the walls. ‘Unfortunately, you’ll learn today that there are some things that you can’t mess with.’ Thinking that, Ikazuchi approached the heavily guarded entrance. The guards were wary of him from afar, and eventually shouted for him to stop as he continued to approach.
Ikazuchi naturally didn’t do so. Instead, he sped up while drawing his swords. He didn’t bother to waste any words as he cut down any of the guards that he saw with a negative connection to the village. The others were spared, but still sent flying away from him with injuries. This continued until he reached the home of the village leader.
‘These trash…’ Ikazuchi felt as though his blood was boiling as he learned that the guards gathered outside were those who had all participated in the raid on the village. “You’ll all die here today…” After that, he went to action with extreme efficiency. The guards weren’t particularly weak, Ikazuchi was simply too strong in comparison. They were killed with extreme efficiency before he finally located the leader of the village attempting to sneak away using an invisibility relic.
The man flinched as he made eye contact with Ikazuchi, but he insisted on believing in the relic’s capabilities. “Do you know why I’m here?” Ikazuchi’s question was seemingly to him, but there shouldn’t be any way that he was found. “You won’t answer?” The leader of the village felt suffocated as he saw the blood splatter armor and heard the cold voice dripping with killing intent. “...It’s because you touched something you shouldn’t have.” Ikazuchi only said this after he realized the man would remain silent. After that, he simply decapitated the leader and left a message for the village to warn them about their actions. He didn’t know it, but the man’s son would go on to take over the village and use the remaining manpower to change it for the better. Unfortunately, that was a story for another time. Ikazuchi had immediately departed for the second village after killing his way into this one and taking the life of the leader.
