Reincarnation Sim Game-Chapter 184 – Pool of Blood

Elise only took one day to arrive at the nation’s capital. She continued to ride Mona non-stop, attracting the attention of those she passed. Several city guards have tried to block her, but they always get a tragic fate, between being hit by Mona or slashed by the female warrior.

Raymund’s persuasion didn’t work. Even Yua, who had excellent speech skills, failed. Raymund also tried to force Elise to pull out again and again but to no avail.

The woman remains focused on the goal.

She and her dog had already seen the large gate that led to the palace, guarded by a band of warriors and magicians. However, Mona did not slow down at all. Elise instead ordered her pet to accelerate.

Magic shots and arrows didn’t work on Mona, while Elise was able to block them with ease. Some gatekeepers dodged when Mona got too close, but some held on. They couldn’t do anything about it when Mona jumped and smashed into the fence gate and shattered it.

Inside the palace courtyard, the people guarding were far more numerous. Even this time, there were several golems made by magicians.

However, all of that was not a problem for Elise and Mona.

While her dog was getting bigger, Elise jumped down and used a rock stance to block all the attacks that came at her. After that, she began to attack using her signature moves. Charging thrust, whirlwind slash, and rising slash, all of which she uses interchangeably and many times. Blood was splattered everywhere, and screams of fear continued to echo.

On the other hand, Mona continued to pounce on the guards, tearing their body parts apart. She took care of whoever they were who would attack Elise from behind.

Ciel, the scout bee, also participated. Her body was also blackened like Mona’s. She flew between the guards and thrust her stingers at them in turn. Whoever gets the sting immediately collapses and can no longer breathe.

All of them draw glowing red smoke from their victims. So, they are not getting tired but actually getting stronger.

No one can stop them.

The courtyard was filled with corpses in a relatively short time, and a giant pool of blood had formed there. Mona crashed into the palace entrance and instantly pounced on the guards who were already there.

“You are very confident, your majesty. Are you so sure that these soldiers can get in my way?” Elise smirked, then slashed a guard’s head who came at her. The woman’s eyes focused on a fat man wearing royal clothes who sat on a throne studded with beautiful, colorful stones. His tall golden crown signified his standing in the country.

“Can we talk first?” The king did not move from his throne at all. His voice did seem calm, but his lips trembled.

“I have a question, your majesty.” Elise walked over and managed to kill a few guards running at her effortlessly. “Is leaving the residents of one city to die a good thing?”

“Believe me, it’s not my wish.” The king sighed. “I’m ashamed to admit this, but the scarlet wizard’s threat is terrifying. I don’t want this palace to be destroyed instead. This place is the seat of government.”

“You can rule anywhere. You don’t need to be here.” Elise spoke again. “The most important thing is the people who run the country, not where they are.”

“You don’t need to talk anymore, your majesty.” A man with a bald head and body wearing black armor studded with gold took out his sword. “Let me beat this bitch. I was a great swordsman before becoming a high general….”

The man’s words were cut off by Mona, who pounced on him. The dog then tore his body brutally. The supreme general couldn’t resist, just squirming, screaming, and crying in pain.

Elise was able to climb the stairs without any significant obstacles.

“You don’t understand how difficult it is to run a country!” The king shouted loudly. “It’s not easy to resist a threat from a mighty scarlet wizard! It’s still fortunate that she only asked for one city!”

Elise’s footsteps were now audible. The high general was dead, and Mona began eating his body.

The king then clasped his hands, closed his eyes, and looked up. “Please, God, save me from this crazy woman. Punish her with the harshest punishment….”

Elise stopped just inches from the king, then laughed. “You pray to God!? Seriously!?”

“I am not like you who have no god!” The king snorted, though his face already showed immeasurable fear. “While carrying out my duties, I have always been on the path of God! Even the Scarlet Wizard confessed to God! That’s why she isn’t as brutal as you, even though she’s doing it wrong!”

“You know what, your majesty.” Elise threw away her sword while looking down. “Maybe you’re right. What I’m doing is not according to God’s way.”

“You can still retreat now, Elise.” The God himself, Raymund, was still trying to persuade his servant. “Remember, bigger chaos could happen if you killed that person.”

Seeing Elise’s Darksin sword lying far away, the king heaved a sigh of relief. “Does this mean that you are aware that your actions…”

Elise’s fierce fist instantly silenced the king of the country. Without a pause, the female warrior threw a second punch in the king’s face, causing the man’s teeth to fall out.

The noise from the great hall was only from Elise’s fists. The king kept begging the female warrior to stop all that, but the request fell on deaf ears.

Meanwhile, Mona and Ciel watched in case another soldier came.

Even after the king didn’t respond anymore, Elise continued to beat him. The face of the country’s leader was shapeless, all covered with blood. Even some parts have sunk in.

“He’s dead, Elise…” Raymund let out a groan-like sound.

However, Elise still beat the man with a fierce face and breaths that began to falter. It was Mona’s bark that made her stop. She then looked back and found Mona had returned to her original form, sitting with Ciel perched on her head. The dog looked so sad.

The female warrior looked at the face of the king, whose one eye had fallen off. The man was no longer breathing.

“Is that enough?” Raymund sighed.

Elise left the throne limply, then sat down on the steps, looking down. Mona went over to her and sniffed her while Ciel flew around her head, making a buzzing sound.

However, the female warrior did not respond. A wisp of mist began to form above her head.

***

I no longer stood near the pond but sat leaning against one of the pillars holding my forehead. It’s all my fault, from asking Elise to embrace the power of darkness to failing to choose a mission related to the titan mandrake.

Yes, maybe without my servant’s intervention, Renee will get married even if it’s not what she wants. However, the woman would still be alive, and a terrible incident like this would not have happened. Elise wouldn’t be a monster, and there was no risk of a country being destroyed.

I took a deep breath. The task of a god is too heavy. I can’t hold it anymore. I’m just a mortal, like the residents in Levidna I helped.

My ears could hear the sound of footsteps in the distance. However, I dare not lift my head.

“Elise…” Yua said in a worried tone. “Are you okay?”

The female warrior didn’t answer. Her footsteps continued to sound and just stopped in front of me.

“Sorry.” She whispered, then walked away from me just like that.

“Are you satisfied, Elise?” I asked, again making Elise stop in her tracks. “Are you not aware of the consequences?”

“I just killed an evil. The world doesn’t need people like him.”

“However, the other evils might be fighting for the vacant power!” I stood up, staring at Elise, whose armor color was back to the way it was, even though her hair was still black and her eyes still yellow. “Don’t you realize that it could lead to more bloodshed!? Maybe innocent people will fall victim too! Civil war will occur, and it will cause even greater destruction! Why don’t you understand, Elise!? I’ve spoken to you many times, but you won’t listen to me!”

“Then, you can send me again to stop that civil war,” Elise answered without facing me. “You are the God of hope, right? Surely many people will pray for the civil war to stop.”

“You know what? What you’re talking about is bullshit, Elise.” I can no longer contain my emotions. “You don’t really want to eradicate evil. You just want to take revenge on evil people like your parents.”

“So?” Elise didn’t answer at all. “In the end, I killed the trash this world doesn’t need.”

I was about to argue again, but Yua stood in front of me, shaking her head and shedding tears. I suddenly realized that what I said was useless.

Elise then walked back to her temple, accompanied by Mona and Ciel.
