Chapter 104 - The Predetermined Outcome!
Valletta looked at the sliced body of Olivas, feeling closer to death than ever before.
Shock, disbelief, regret, and even despair tangled together, gnawing at her heart.
How dare he kill Olivas?
Why would he have the guts to kill someone?
The scene in front of her greatly conflicted with Valletta's perception of Luke.
Not only that.
Valletta had never seen such exquisite swordsmanship, the action of aiming directly at the vital points to kill with single strike, it was as if this swordsmanship was designed specifically for murdering their own kind.
How could there be such a vicious skill passed down specifically for slaughtering humans in this world?
Who are the true villains, them or him?
Without hesitation, Luke swiftly eliminated Olivas, and then he sheathed Ser-Veresta and approached Valletta.
According to Finn's instruction, Luke intended to spare her life.
In fact, he had been thinking whether Finn had anticipated that members of Evilus might ambush him and Ais.
Otherwise, why would Finn suddenly find Luke a few days ago and tell him that if they encountered members of Evilus, if possible, they should capture some alive, despite his previous efforts to keep Luke and Ais away from matters related to Evilus.
Now, thinking about it, this was probably premeditated.
Even the double insurance on Ais's body was set up by Luke and Riveria after listening to Finn's persuasion.
"W-Wait!"
"You can't kill me, let's negotiate!"
Watching Luke gradually approach her, Valletta, clutching her severed arm, retreated while saying with some panic:
"I-I've said so much to you just now, there's a reason for it."
"That little girl, her name is Ais, right? Our people have already captured her."
"Even if you kill me, you can't possibly kill all these people without leaving some behind, right? As long as one of them escapes, the safety of that little girl won't be guaranteed."
"So let's negotiate! Spare me, and I promise not to harm that little girl."
Perhaps even she found herself quite reasonable, so Valletta calmed down as she spoke, even reaching into her waist pouch to take out a bottle of healing potion, preparing to stop the bleeding from her severed arm.
Luke didn't stop her from staunching the bleeding.
After all, he was planning to capture her alive.
It would be meaningless if she died of excessive blood loss after being captured.
Luke's behavior relieved Valletta, and she believed her threat had worked.
Actually, she didn't know the exact situation on Ais's side.
Although they did send some people over to Ais's location, the focus was still on Luke.
Ais was just a little girl, not even nine years old, and not worth mobilizing a large force for.
However, the most embarrassing situation at the moment was actually for the remaining group of Evilus adventurers.
First, they listened to a long speech from their leader, and then they saw her confidently charge forward only to have her arm severed.
