264  Die!

"Human, I will count to three." Dezmavas spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "If you still don't dispel the barrier, we will start killing the hostages."

Lexie and the others looked at Scarlett.

They did not say anything and let her decide everything because she was their city mistress.

Scarlett, who was clenching her fist, kept thinking about what she should do at that moment.

Of course, she wanted to save them because they were her people, but there were 95,500 people inside the barrier.

If he had removed the barrier, there would have been more casualties, but if she had not dispelled the barrier, all the hostages would have died.

'What should I do?'

She could not make up her mind because it was a hard choice.

Unlike Scarlett, Dezmavas' subordinates were thrilled.

Some of them even smiled happily.

They were at a disadvantage earlier because they could not destroy the barrier, but the tables had turned now.

Everything was under their control now!

The citizens of Nightshire City even stopped yelling at them.

It was as if they had turned into statues.

"Kekeke." Eldrin laughed happily when they saw their expressions.

'Young lord is indeed amazing!'

He praised Dezmavas in his mind.

"I will start counting now." Dezmavas uttered. "1…"

Scarlett was even more under pressure.

The hostages' lives were in her hands, but she still did not know what to do.

"…3. Kill them!" Dezmavas skipped number two and went straight to number three.

"Aggh…"

"Aggh…"

"Aggh…"

"Aggh…"

One by one, the hostages cried out in pain.

The citizens of Nightshire City could only hold back their anger and turn their heads to the other side.

They could not do anything when the magical beasts started killing the hostages, so they turned their heads because they could not bear to see the hostages being killed.

"Kekeke." Dezmavas laughed happily as the hostages died one by one.

The red-haired hostage, who saw his brothers and sisters dying one by one, was furious.

Even though he was not an awakener, he was not afraid of these magical beasts. He rushed toward these magical beasts and used the ball chains to attack them.

"Aaa…Die!" the red-haired man tried his best to kill the 2-star magical beast in front of him.

Of course, he could not kill that magical beast.

He was not an awakener, and that magical beast was already at 2-star, so his attack was not strong enough to kill that magical beast.

The other hostages were surprised by the red-haired man's actions.

However, their surprised faces instantly turned into determination.

Like the red-haired man, they were also enraged.

They did not want to be used by these magical beasts anymore, so they decided to attack these magical beasts.

Of course, they knew what they were doing.

They knew that they were throwing away their lives, but they were fine with it because they did not want to become the reason for the destruction of Nightshire City.

They would rather sacrifice themselves than be the cause of the destruction of their city.

This was the reason why they decided to attack these magical beasts because, with this, Dezmavas could not force Scarlett to dispel the barrier again.

"Die!"

"Die!"

"Die!"

"Die!"

One by one, the hostages attacked the magical beasts.

Of course, they suffered the same fate as the red-haired man.

All of them were only ordinary people, so there was no way they could kill these magical beasts, especially when they only attacked them with ball chains.

"Stupid human, die!" after saying that, the 3-star ogre killed the green-haired hostage.

Like the 3-star ogre, the other magical beasts also attacked the hostages. The hostages dared to attack them, so they showed no mercy and killed them on the spot.

"Agghhh…"

"Agghhh.."

"Agghhh.."

"Agghhh.."

One by one, the hostages died.

[Several divine beings are watching the hostages with sympathetic eyes.]

[God of Sea is tearing at the sight of the hostages' loyalty.]

[Goddess of Life shed tears of sadness.]

[The Great Sage, The Equal of Heaven holds his golden cudgel firmer.]

[The Great Sage, The Equal of Heaven tells you to get out of the barrier and kill these magical beasts.]

Some divine beings were touched by the hostages' actions.

They did not expect the hostages to sacrifice themselves for the sake of protecting their city and relatives.

"Hmm? They are attacking my subordinates?" Dezmavas was startled by the hostages' actions.

'Why do they do such stupid things? Isn't that the same as digging their own grave?'

This was different from what he previously thought.

Of course, he did not panic because he still had a backup plan.

Like Dezmavas, Scarlett and her people were also stunned. They did not expect the hostages to attack the magical beasts of their own accord like that.

"Uaakk…"

"Uaakk…"

"Uaakk…"

"Uaakk…"

People related to the hostages looked at the scene with bloodshot eyes.

'I will kill you. I will kill you all!'

They promised that they would kill all the magical beasts later.

Liam, who saw what was going on, returned to Henry's house.

'We have to carry out our plan now.'

Dezmavas failed to use the hostages to remove the barrier, so they had to quickly use their backup plan.

"The barrier is still up?" Henry said as he looked at the barrier.

'Did his plan fail?'

He asked in his head.

Shortly after that, Liam appeared. "My lord, they failed to get her to remove the barrier."

He gave a brief explanation of what happened in front of the entrance gate.

"I see." Henry was not surprised because he had guessed this before. "Everyone, let's head to the city guard headquarters now."

"I can finally kill human now." Ardryll laughed happily because he had suppressed his desire to kill human for several days.

"Let's go." Henry uttered.

They then traveled to the city guard headquarters.

----

At the same time, fifty city guards were protecting the mages. Even though they were inside the barrier, Scarlett still ordered some of her subordinates to protect the mages.

These mages were important to her, so she did not want something bad to happen to them.

"Sigh. This is boring." Lieutenant Alex uttered.

'No! I must carry out this mission enthusiastically and seriously.'

He straightened his back.

'Hmm?'

He was startled when he saw Henry and his subordinates because he thought they were already at the gate.

He approached them slowly before finally asking curiously. "Henry, why are you here?"

Henry did not order his subordinates to attack Lieutenant Alex immediately.

'Hmm? Fifty people are guarding these mages, huh?'

He did not panic when he saw the large number of people protecting the mages because he brought two hundred subordinates with him.

"Are you the only ones here?" Henry inquired.

"Yes. The others have already gone to the gate." Lieutenant Alex gave an honest answer. "Just go to the gate. Leave the mission of protecting these mages to me."

"Then, this will be an easy mission." Henry believed they could kill or destroy the barrier because the mages were only protected by fifty city guards.

"Easy mission? Did city mistress give you a mission?" Lieutenant Alex asked curiously.

"Not city mistress, but Dezmavas." Henry gave an honest answer.

"Dezmavas? Henry, you?" Lieutenant Alex knew who Dezmavas was.

"Kill these mages now." Henry uttered.
