Chapter 70

Back to Ezekiel's story.

"Tch, why the hell was I even sent out here anyway? A disaster? How the hell am I supposed to know what to do if you don't tell me what happened specifically?"

Walking on the dirt road was a man with orange hair on his way towards a certain mansion. He was going there based on the instructions of one of his friends.

"He didn't even sign any paperwork, this better be an official commission or I'm gonna kick his ass when I see him again."

He had been recently told by a friend of his about a disaster that had happened that he would like him to check out since he lived close to it. What disaster you might ask? He didn't specify.

After taking his time walking up the road he approached the gated estate.

"Is this really the place?"

From what he was seeing, the estate was in top shape. There wasn't a sign of any damages or fires anywhere.

("Does he take me for a joke?") He wondered.

Though now that he thought about it was strange that didn't see anyone around. There was no one at the gate either. Were the guards taking a break? It'd make sense given the time he arrived.

"Whatever I'll just tell him I didn't see anything out of the ordinary." He said to himself.

Just as he was about to leave he noticed someone with bloodstains on them running to the gate. They appeared to be wearing a maid's uniform.

When they saw him, they turned around and ran back to the estate.

"Oi, wait a minute, who are you!?" he shouted to them. He didn't get a response.

He saw her running away and clicked his tongue. He decided to give chase.

("That bastard better give extra for this") He thought to himself as he climbed the fence. As he entered, the eerieness of this place started to sink in. There was no noise being made. Even in a place half this size there would be some noticeable noise. As he began to go in the direction of the figure he noticed the size of some footsteps. It sounded like some sort of golem was walking around.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

("Shit, I am going to have to deal with one of those?") He thought to himself.

The source of the sound soon made itself apparent. It was a giant knight in white walking around with a giant sword nearly the size of him. From the design of the armour, they appeared to be a woman.

From the first sight of her, he readied himself. He didn't know what she was but he knew she was bad news. He quickly pulled out his sword and waited for her first move. She kept walking and walking until she got to what he regarded as close enough. After deciding to swing his sword he noticed it hit nothing but air. He wondered what happened but soon saw his answer. She had walked past him. He knew he didn't put much effort behind it so he could easily back away but this felt kind of embarrassing.

He assumed she would stop once she got close to him but that wasn't the case.

He wasn't even on her radar. She looked back at him while tilting her head, before continuing on. After a few more heavy steps, he noticed the sound of the steps vanish.

"Who the hell was that?" He said to himself while wiping some sweat off his forehead. He placed his sword back on his back and decided to explore the manor, mostly because he didn't like the idea of running into her while outside.

After walking near to the main building he noticed the outside was littered with bodies. Some of them were crushed and others were sliced in half.

"Good God, did she do all this?" He spoke aloud. On further thought maybe his sword missing her was a good thing. He soon noticed movement out of the corner of his eye. It was maid-stained with blood running away.

"Hey, wait a minute." He said as he chased after her. As soon as she heard his voice she tripped on her skirt. She turned to him with tears in her eyes.

"Please don't kill me!" She begged.

The adventurer slowed down and walked towards her.

"Hold on, I'm just hear to talk,"

"Get away, NO!" She shouted.

She then began desperately crawling away while still on the ground.

He stopped in his tracks and gave her a glance. She looked like a bunny dropped in front of a wolf.

("I don't think I'm gonna get anything out of her")

He then turned back around and decided to explore the building he saw most of the bodies strewn around. As soon as he entered the mansion it was more of the same. Bodies were strewn haphazardly about with some of them looking to be alive but unconscious. The only reason he could tell some of them were alive was due to their breathing.

"Tch, I don't have first aid on me," he mumbled to himself. He continued exploring in hopes of finding anything he could use to treat the injured until he reached upstairs.

Up there he saw the body that had probably gotten it the worst. It was cut in half and had its head squashed.

What disturbed him the most was a child who appeared to be trying to put the body back together. He had placed the top and bottom half together and had his hands in the puddle of bone fragments, squashed brain and blood that was formerly head.

There was another body beside the child that appeared to have its head crushed as well. It appeared to be a woman's. The child had a vacant expression in his eyes as he tried to 'fix' his father. The man approached the child in an attempt to get his attention but nothing seemed to change that child's target.

"How awful."
