The Kind of Evil-Chapter 230: Perish.

Rasmus stopped his horse and looked at the hills in front of him. He looked around and saw nothing but vast, peaceful land. He looked down at the map and made sure he went to the right coordinates.

"There's no need to recheck, it's here," Videl said as she stopped her horse beside Rasmus. "It's on that hill over there. The demonic energy is quite weak," she pointed at the third hill from the left.

Rasmus hummed as he stored the map in the ring and led his group toward the hill that Videl pointed at. It was nice to have Videl around since she could find demonic energy better than Aris, and to have someone else who could deal with powerful demons would make this task a lot easier.

‎They found a small village in the distance behind the hill where Videl was pointing. Rasmus looked over his shoulder at Javi, and Javi responded with a nod and got down from his horse. Javi disappeared into the night, leaving no trace of his presence.

‎"Do you know where Kiel and Yaza are?" Rasmus looked at Videl, who was cleaning her nails.

‎"Hmm..." Videl looked up at the sky, her expression blank. She suddenly squinted her eyes as if she were staring at an invisible monitor. "I'm not sure. I'll ask my minions once we are in the capital city."

‎"You're thinking about what Novia said? Back there?" Videl raised her brows and stared at Rasmus. "I know that they have mules in every rank, including amongst the Alliance army, so it's not impossible for Kiel and Yaza to make a move," she continued.

‎"Uriel will be there to assist Astrea, and that should be enough to make them rethink their decision," Rasmus responded as he caressed the horse's mane.

‎"You don't want the demonic army to grow stronger, so why don't we infiltrate their most important territory to shift their focus?" Aris raised her brows and looked at Rasmus.

‎Rasmus thought about the suggestion that Aris gave and considered the risks and consequences.

‎"It's not a bad idea, you know?" Videl pointed out as she glanced at Rasmus. "Why don't we put all the Fallen Watchers into one place? We are capable of kicking Kiel and Yaza out of South Neva," she continued.

‎"I know that you both are capable, but the issue isn't that we are capable or not, Videl. Your identity, my identity, her identity. If they find out that you, the Devil, are here and working with me, and I'm the one who's pretending to be their ally, it will destroy our cover," Rasmus explained with a serious expression. "We can move freely right now because they're unaware, not because we are capable," he continued.

‎Videl almost forgot that they were both being hunted by Satan and the rest of the demons. They were the key for Satan to gain favor from God, and it would make them lose the bet with God as well.

‎"Unless I do it on my own, you two won't have to worry about that thing you're talking about," Aris suggested as she stared at Rasmus.

‎"Is she capable of fighting both of them?" Rasmus turned to look at Videl.

‎"Her? With that weapon, I don't think they stand a chance. Not to mention they're still weak," Videl answered with confidence.

‎Rasmus thought about it, but Javi came back and landed behind him. He decided to put it aside for a moment and let Javi report what he found in the village.

‎"It's similar to what we found at the mountain, but something is different there. It appears that the possessed and the Corrupted are fighting against each other because of food," Javi informed as he looked at the three of them.

‎"That's our chance to kill them while they're busy with each other," Rasmus said as he pulled out his sword.

‎They nodded and followed Rasmus to the village. Once they were close to the village, they could see dried blood on the ground and dried blood trails into the village.

‎Javi informed the number of the possessed and the Corrupted in the village. He also pointed out their location in the village, making it easy for Rasmus and the others to hunt them down.

‎Rasmus, Videl, and Aris moved cautiously, keeping to the shadows as they approached the outskirts of the village. The air was thick with tension, and the distant sounds of conflict echoed through the night.

‎The possessed were busy cutting the corpses of the villagers before they shared them with the others. They didn't realize that they were being watched from the shadows. They were too focused on the meat in front of them.

‎Once they shared the meat, they heard a loud thud sound from behind. Before they could turn around, their bodies collapsed, and they saw their lower halves still standing while they were on the ground. They realized that they were cut in half without them knowing the person who did it to them.

‎They slowly looked up and saw Rasmus and Aris, standing still, staring down at them with a cold gaze, but then they felt their spines and brains being pulled out forcefully. It was painful, and yet they couldn't scream for help. The pain felt like an eternity until they lost consciousness for a moment.

‎They saw nothing but pitch black around them, and they couldn't feel anything, not even their limbs. It felt like a dream, but suddenly they felt heat sipping through their invisible bodies. The heat became hotter and hotter, making them all scream in pain in the dark.

‎Suddenly, the pitch black surroundings turned dark red. They didn't know what happened while they were being tormented by the heat. Slowly but surely, the dark red they saw formed into a massive glowing red eye. The eye was so big that it looked like the ocean and the sky combined, and they were under them.

‎They screamed their lungs out until they heard voices coming from within them. The voices were all saying the same thing, the words that shocked them.

‎"My Liege! Forgive us!"

‎"We will never betray you again!"

‎"We will serve you for eternity!"

‎The eye glared at them until they noticed they were no longer living beings. They didn't have a physical body, only translucent light. They looked to their left and saw grotesque and terrifying creatures, blowing on their knees.

‎They realized those things were the demons that possessed their bodies. They slowly looked up and saw the eyes staring right into their souls, and the feeling of being ripped apart began to overwhelm them.

‎Their screams and pain faded away as they began to lose themselves. They were placed in a world where they were no longer alive or dead. They had lost their existence and yet still existed in a place where every world rejected them. They never thought that they had the fear of not getting salvation, and that the God they had heard about so often didn't come to save them.

‎"Hmm, not bad..." Videl stared at the shadowy figures in front of her after she devoured the souls and the demons from those bodies. "More minions for me, thanks," she chuckled as she stared at Rasmus and Aris wiping their swords clean from the blood while Javi kept his eyes on the village from the roof.

‎"Can you use your usual appearance?" Aris asked as she stared coldly at Videl.

‎"Why? Am I too pretty? You're jealous, aren't you?" Videl smirked playfully, playing with her long wavy black hair.

Aris rolled her eyes and decided to ignore Videl, regretting her choice to speak to her. She then swung her sword and looked up at Javi with her brows raised, asking him where the rest of the possessed and the Corrupted were. Javi pointed at the north side of the village, and then he jumped from one building to another to guide them.

Rasmus and Aris hunted all the possessed silently, unnoticed by the others, even though the village was small. They took down ‎dozens of the possessed in less than five minutes without making a sound while Videl took care of the rest by devouring the souls and the demons within the bodies.

They all stood on top of the roof and saw the Corrupted gather around a person. The person looked so old that he had no flesh under his skin, only bones and veins that popped under it.

"Huh, that's interesting," Videl muttered as she stared at the old man. "That guy is a warlock, and he's not being possessed by a demon as well," she pointed out.

"A human controlling the Corrupted?" Rasmus furrowed his brows, watching the warlock sit still with the staff made of human bones on his lap.

"I wonder as well..." Videl nodded.

Aris tapped Rasmus's shoulder to get his attention.

"I want to show you something. This is the final form of using an Aura. I want you to keep an eye on them," Aris said as she put down her sword and stared at the group of Corrupted.

The three of them stared at Aris and then glanced at the group of Corrupted. They didn't blink their eyes and kept staring at them until suddenly everything around the Corrupted got disintegrated into dust, including the Corrupted and the warlock. It happened in an instant, and they had no idea what was happening, and not to mention, Aris did it from a far distance.

"Now imagine if a dragon did it. A dragon the size of a mountain with ten times more power than me to do something like this," Aris said as she looked at Rasmus. "If a dragon wants this world to perish, it could do it in a single night," she continued as she stared into Rasmus's eyes.
