|| Chapter 26 || Red, Red And More Red

It was a blood bath.

A fluorescence of red emitted by gentle innocent flowers brought forth a burning scarlet haze, devouring the air with their hypnotic corruption of the mind. The once tidy stone floor was polluted with crimson and mud giving out a mix of foul odor. A barrage of swift movements could cause confusion as two sides battled in ruthless combat.

Only a few of the nobles we're armed with weapons, either bravely charging for their own safety or for the protection of someone significant to them. One could feel the continuously generated mana in the air as few Maeruthans with their elemental abilities fought, sweat trickling down their foreheads. There were too many enemies to take down that a few nobles had already lost their lives. Clawed faces, severed torsos, and limbs we're dragged on the cold wet floor, muscle tissues, slimy intestines, and small visceral organs were left on the mudded stained ground.

Veialeans swarmed around the pavilion, pushing back the resisting people who had dared to go against them in a bloody battle. Within the circle of courageous people, a mass of incompetent people within the pavilion shamefully hid behind those who would risk their lives. Cries escaped from countless wailing mouths as terrified people selfishly pushed each other away, the fear of death creeping into their skin.

A particular lady pushed through behind her fiance and reliantly clutch unto him. Lady Amelia Gorianna feigned a strong exterior as she hesitated to activated her wood ability to help aid Jaeyi while her shivering hands trembled. She screamed and pushed one of her followers towards an approaching hooded man lunging towards her. So what if she does?! At least I would be able to live!

The poor girl screamed, her eyes inches away from the blade-like claws. But blood splattered over her body, soaking her red, as a sword pierced through her attacker. The pointed tip of the blade protruding, dripping, a drop of blood dropped on the girl's cheek as she looked up in a daze.

Hoseok pulled out his sword as the body dropped before his feet. He glared at Amelia before walking away. A couple of Veialeans cornered him only to be struck down like slaughtered pigs. Coating his sword in a sheet of blood-freezing ice, he slashed his way through the defensive circle of Maeruthans a trail of frozen bodies dropping as he moved forward.

Yoongi wasn't in the pavilion, his heart was in turmoil as he thought of his defenseless lost little brother alone possibly attacked. Where is he?! His eyes darted around in search, bared teeth, and face paling in potent fear.

Striking down one enemy after another, his fear grew stronger as he failed to spot Yoongi. Could he be in the garden?

His gaze abruptly turned towards the dense garden in front of him. His brief moment of distraction was taken advantage of by an approaching hooded man behind his back who swiftly moved to stab the young master's heart. Hoseok jerked aside to avoid it but his movements were too slow.

Out of the blue, a sharp ice stake pierced through the man's head and busted into tiny shards. Blood drizzled over Hoseok's head, the smell sickening. Hoseok watched the headless body fall to the ground and three people, far away from where he stood were revealed within his sight.

A sense of relief plunged into his being as he recognized Yoongi safe and unharmed by his eldest brother's side. "Thank the gods..."

Yoongi swallowed hard as he took in the scene before him. The scattered limbs on the ground, charred bodies, blood seeping out of flesh, and splashing on the ground dyeing it red.

There was too much red... too much death...

His hand trembled unconsciously as his silver eyes gazed upon the trapped people with the pavilion cornered by swarms of Veialean assassins. The situation was truly critical...
