There's a reason why Augustas was buried in this dirty and remote place. It was because he wanted to keep the evil item, even in death. This evil item has the potential to bring darkness to the world once more.

If Augustas were to build a very large and powerful tomb, it would surely be conspicuous and would invite greed to plunder his tomb. Considering that in this world there were such things as World Calamity Monsters, the tomb would definitely collapse quickly and the evil items he had stored away would be found. That's why he built a small but hidden tomb, which even can only be found with luck.

"But it's a pity, it was this evil person who found your tomb and took away the evil object that I guarded."

In Augustas' corpse's left hand was a large black book, it was full of bloodshot eyes and a mouth that contained only fangs, it gave off an aura of darkness that would shake the heart of anyone who saw it. That book is what Augustas keeps from falling into the hands of bad people.

I picked up the book and immediately got a notification.

[Skill Book : Devourer.]

The Skill Book created by the Lord of Darkness, the Ruler of the Age of Darkness. This is a Skill Book that cannot be destroyed, and the only Skill Book that can be used by anyone.

[Do you want to learn the Devourer?]

[Yes No]

For Augustas this book is a seed of darkness, but for me it is a seed of good fortune. Being the only Skill I have, it paved the way for me to arrive at this stage.

"Of course I want to learn it.”

Skills have five ranks: Common, Rare, Epic, Legend, and Mythical. The Devourer is at the Mythical rank, who's a fool not to learn it. With just this one Skill, I can reach a level of around six hundred.

[Skills: Devourer, learned.]

[Devourer]

Rank : Mystical

Level : 1

Energy : Mana

Element : Darkness

Type : Active Skill

Function : used to create creatures of darkness that will swallow and consume anything to produce power.

"Good ... time to go home and have a rest."

I walked away with the three treasures I obtained, and left Augutus' corpse exposed. It's a shame, Devourer can only be used with Mana, if I can use it then I will devour the corpses of the monsters I slaughtered earlier.

In the morning, when I just wake up from sleep, I open the window and enjoy my coffee while looking at the city full of chaos. People were running here and there trying to save their property and family, after hearing that there was going to be a monster attack on a large scale. In contrast to those who were panicking, I instead had a satisfied smile while sipping coffee.

From a distance I could see the Duke of Skyseal's Army and the Duke himself heading towards the city walls.

"Time to put my plan into action."

I put down my coffee, took the Shroud of Augustas to cover me, and placed the Holy Sword at my waist. Finished with the equipment, I went into the sewer and was greeted by a stench that stung my nose to my brain. This indicated that the corpse of yesterday's monster that I killed had not been cleaned up. But I didn't care about that, I just went to a location down the drain, holding my nose.

Arriving at the location, I immediately fumbled around the walls, to find a button to open a secret passage to the castle. Without taking long, I managed to open a path full of darkness, I walked in. This is actually a secret passage for the Skyseal family, which will be used to escape from the caste, if at any time they are forced to escape.

But now this road is being used to infiltrate instead.

Walking for a few minutes with eyes that couldn't see anything, I suddenly hit a wall. Signifying that I was at the end of the secret passage, and on the other side of the wall was the room within the Skyseal Castle.

Drawing the holy-sword with his right hand, Lucas sliced through the wall neatly, without even a sound being heard. When he kicked the wall to fall, he found something extraordinary. the room was beautiful and elegant, but not with two people in it.

One man was shirtless and was trying to take off his pants, and another naked woman who was chained to the bed.

The man was handsome with pale white skin and blonde hair. His body was tall and slender, looking like he had well-trained muscles. Lucas knew him, he was David Skyseal the Sword Sinner.

In Lucas' memory, David would proclaim himself a hero when he had the Holy Sword. But somehow after that he even became a vampire. As a vampire, he has the sacred Holy Sword in his hands, and earns him the nickname Sword Sinner. But after that, the thing that irritated Lucas appeared. Lucas thought that after David turned into a vampire, David would die being hunted by people who were greedy for the Holy Sword. It did happen, but David didn't die because he had the power of the Holy Sword in his hands, this really frustrated Lucas.

But from that story, Lucas came to know, that the Holy Sword would still provide extraordinary power to the wielder even if it was not connected.

David sees a secret passage in his room suddenly open, but he can't find Lucas who is covered by the Shroud of Augustas. But because of the neat cut by the Holy-Sword, David only thought the secret passage's door was open only because it was broken. With that he continued his activities, and opened his pants.

This is a fucking stupid naughty boy, the David that was in my memory and the one before my eyes, was very different. In my memories he was a very powerful Vampire Swordsman, but this… he was just a lustful pervert.

I walked in front of David. When he finished unbuttoning his pants and revealing his Sacred Object, I immediately cut the Sacred Object with a single swing of the sword.

Seeing his Sacred Object suddenly drop, David's mind became confused, but was immediately filled with pain. “AAAHHHH!!!!!”

What a beautiful scream, it's like music from heaven to me.

The castle is now deserted, soldiers are on guard at the castle walls, and all the maids are running for their lives. With this situation, David actually wanted to take advantage of the lonely situation to impose his will on a beautiful maid who had recently served the Skyseal Family. But David never expected, not only could not have fun, instead the object he wanted to use for fun had now been released from his body.

"Who!!!? Who did this to me!!!!?” David screamed in pain, even his eyes were filled with tears. "Come out and face me."

"Noisy." A voice heard David.

David turned towards the source of the voice and only to receive a stab in the mouth. When the Holy Sword was pulled from David's mouth, a tongue jumped out. Pain appeared in David's mouth, making him scream once more, but he only screamed, he had lost the ability to speak.

With both legs still healthy, David ran out of the room to seek help. Just as he was at the door, he could only bump into it with his face. Looking back to see what had happened , David saw that both of his legs had left his body.

David's eyes welled up with tears, while his mouth was spilling blood, he dragged his body with his hands and left a trail of blood behind. In desperation, David hopes that someone will come to help him. However, both of his hands were cut off.

“AAAHHHH!!!!!”

David screamed in pain mixed with fear. He wanted to beg for forgiveness, but he had lost the ability to speak.

If any normal person saw, they would tremble in fear. But Lucas just had a smug smile as if he was hitting euphoria. Lucas grabbed David by the hair, and placed the blade of the Holy Sword in front of his eyes.

David felt his eyes would be next. And sure enough, before he screamed, his eyes were slashed.

“Huh…” Lucas breathed out in satisfaction. "I'll spare your life and ears."

Hearing that, David didn't know whether he should feel happy or not. Given that he is almost completely disabled. The reason Lucas did that was so David could hear the insults from the people he made suffer in the past, to his disabled self, and this would make his life even more miserable.

Blocking the door he wanted to go through, Lucas kicked David in the buttocks to get rid of him.

"Wait, save me!" The maid that David had chained up suddenly screamed. Lucas turned around and their eyes met, this made Lucas flinch. Suddenly, the female maid moved her head left and right, as if she was looking for Lucas. "Help me, don't go!"

The maid was a beauty, with blonde hair and fair skin. Her body was perfectly formed, emitting a sensual aura. It makes perfect sense that someone like David would want to desecrate her, because her beautiful body seems to be inviting men to enjoy her.

I'm still wearing the Shroud of Augustas now, but why can this woman see me? Does she have the skills to do that? Or is she very strong? It's better not to deal with this woman, she might be stronger than me. However, I'm currently pressed for time.

Lucas left the chained woman, and came out of David's room.

"You Cold Man, shouldn't that Holy Sword wielder have the attitude of helping people in trouble?”
