Chapter 9: The Burning Village

Kaos didn't object to Linas's arrangement, it was just an extra day's journey, but on the way to Los Ca, at least Linas could keep herself safe for a few days.

In the afternoon, after some preparation, Linas took Kaos and set out on the journey.

Compared to the original dangerous desert, the road after Stanroe is much less dangerous, and there are more pedestrians along the way, and there are even some small villages along the way to resupply.

But even so, Linas did not let down her guard at all, because her rich experience told Linas that in this world, you must not think that there is an absolutely safe place, even if it is only about a hundred meters out of the city, you may encounter any kind of demonic beast attack, and in the city, sometimes the city with surface scenery can be even more dangerous than the desert with no inhabited people.

After three days of walking, Linas and Kaos encountered several attacks by demonic beasts along the way, but in front of Linas, as long as they did not encounter a demon species of the level similar to the earth-rock shark, there was basically no other danger, after all, even among high-level mages, Linas's strength and actual combat experience were not weak.

In the evening, Linas looked at the map.

"There's a village closest to us, and if we can, I think we can go somewhere to rest for the night, because it's safer to be in a crowded place than in the wild. Linas said earnestly.

"Why hesitate?"

Kaos had some doubts, as he felt that Linas seemed to be hesitant in this matter, as Linas had been staring at the map at the beginning and had not made a decision until now.

Linas didn't answer Kaos, she took a deep breath, and then looked at the seemingly chaotic but neatly lined footprints at her feet with a heavy face, if she was not mistaken, there should be an army passing here, and in the direction, it should be heading to the village.

If she could, she didn't want to be involved with the military, for better or worse, and that's why she was so hesitant.

"There are some things you don't know yet, but if you ......," Linas suddenly showed a confident smile, "It's not impossible to show you knowledge!"

Linas had basically guessed what was going to happen.

......

Along this path, Linas and Kaos were very cautious all the way, even if Kaos didn't know why, but he vaguely guessed that there would be danger.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, Kaos suddenly felt the magic aura from a distance, and there were many types, which showed that there were many individual units in front of him, human?

"There's no one up there. Kaos asked suddenly.

"Oh~~~ How do you know. Linas said with some surprise.

"Because I can feel that there are many types of magic in front of me, but I can't be sure yet. ”

"Oh, your natural ability? Hehe, what a perverted ability!"

Kaos scratched his head, "Actually...... It's okay!"

"That's right, I'm afraid there is an army ahead, the number of people should not be very large, you look at the footprints under our feet," Linas pointed to the footprints under his feet and said, "Although the footprints are messy, they have been moving in two fixed ranges on the left and right, such footprints can only be the march of the army, you have to learn to judge some things from these details in the future, understand?"

Kaos nodded in realization, "Is this the reason you hesitated just now?"

"Yes, Kaos, you must remember not to have anything to do with the forces related to the army, because you are not suitable to play the adult game right now. ”

"Adult games? What is that? Why can't you play games? ”

To Linas, Kaos was like an innocent child, but for now, she wasn't going to explain this to Kaos.

"You'll understand later! Because it's a brutal truth. Linas said meaningfully.

Eventually, Linas and Kaos arrived on the map, but when they actually arrived, the two stood still and stared at the scene in front of them.

The raging flames burned unscrupulously in the village, and every house in the village was covered in flames, and the houses gradually turned into black ashes and were carried away by the breeze.

And the embellishment of blood and flesh made the two of them a little confused, and even for a moment, neither of them knew where they were here, or hell on earth.

Countless corpses were lying around the village, each one in a pool of blood that had not yet congealed, and it was clear that this had only happened, even a few dozen minutes ago!

"This ...... Not ......"

Lynas looked at the scene in front of her with a stunned expression, in her opinion, she just thought that it was the legion that came to collect taxes, however, she did not expect that what appeared in front of her would be such a reality, killing, no doubt, this time a tragic killing.

β€œοΌοΌοΌβ€

Before Linas could react, Kaos on the side moved.

"Ahhhh!!!h

He ran to the village without hesitation, and at the same time, Linas could feel a faint wave of magic on him.

Kaos waved his hand in front of the flames, as if in the sea, and a wave of water was slapped by Kaos in the desert, but the splash did not extinguish any of the flames and was evaporated by the heat of the flames.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!hhh

Kaos shouted angrily as he repeated the action, and the splash was constantly slapped by him, but, no matter how many times she tried, the result was the same, his magic could not extinguish the fire in front of him, and Kaos could only watch as the flames in front of him continued to consume everything in the village.

"Water magic?" said Linas as she watched Kaos's behavior.

"No...... No...... What the hell is going on, what's going on!!!"

Kaos shouted, and suddenly, he fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

Linas walked up to Kaos with a blank face, and then gently placed her hand on Kaos's shoulder.

"Looks like ...... We seem to be late, and if we had come earlier, we might have been able to do something!"

"Vomitβ€”"

Suddenly, Kaos vomited, and Linas was stunned when she saw it, she quickly patted Kaos on the back, and Kaos almost vomited everything he ate tonight.

"Are you alright?"

Finally, when Kaos had finished spitting, he gritted his teeth and looked at the fire in front of him with grief.

"I ...... can feel their crying, they ...... The weakness before they were killed, they fell powerlessly under the iron sword of the soldier, powerlessly watched their relatives being brutally killed, powerlessly watched the flames devour their bodies, and all this ...... They all told meβ€”"

Kaos curled up as he cried, while Linas looked at him suspiciously.

Suddenly, Linas was stunned for a moment, because she seemed to see something, only to see that her eyes suddenly flashed a purple light, and sure enough, at this time, she saw that there was a continuous surge of magic power in the village, and Linas could clearly feel that there was a trace of anger in these magic powers.

It's the anger of death.

"I see, you fainted in the desert before because you absorbed the magic power of the Earth Rock Shark after it died!And because you couldn't bear the anger brought by the death of the Earth Rock Shark Shark, you fainted!" Linas finally understood the reason why Kaos fainted in the desert without warning before, and originally planned to find a chance to ask, but now, it seems that there is no need for this.

Kaos didn't answer Linas, he just lay on the ground trembling slightly.

"Good...... I'm scared, I'm scared!" Kaos said with a sudden tremble.

Linas took a deep breath, if she hadn't guessed wrong, it should have been the after-effects of absorbing this part of the magic! Kaos shouldn't be able to adapt to his talent, at least for now.

Suddenly, Linas waved her hand, and just like Kaos, a wave suddenly rose from the side, but compared to Kaos's small waves, Linas's was almost a tsunami.

The huge waves flooded the village in an instant, and the flames that were drowned by the waves disappeared in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, with a small movement, the flames that Kaos could not handle before disappeared.

Kaos, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to be much better, and he looked up again to see that the village, which had been surrounded by raging fire, was no longer in flames. But now all that is left is a ruin burned by the flames and countless bones.

"Actually, I wanted to stop you just now, but...... As you can see, there are no living people here. ”

With a hint of sadness in her eyes, Linas said that as early as the first time she saw the flames, Linas was sure that there was no one left, so she was indifferent.

Kaos clenched his fists when he heard this, only to see him slam his fist into the sand, and Kaos punched a large sand pit on the ground.

"Here...... What happened, why is everyone so miserable, why!"

Maybe it was because he absorbed the magic of the dead that Kaos was so angry!at least that's what Linas thought.

"I don't know, but ...... Wouldn't you just catch up and take a look?"

Linas suddenly turned her head to look at the direction of the many footprints next to her, and then she glanced at Kaos on the ground, but her head flicked slightly in this direction, signaling Kaos to go.

Kaos didn't speak, he just stood up and stared straight in the direction.
