I'll become a villain in my next life

Chapter 86: Past Projection Spell

[Decimated Town]

With Hibiki on the front the group moved carefully as they approached the town only to find it ruined and destroyed

As they saw the dead bodies all over the town may it be from old or young, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise on just how much the perpetrators just massacred the whole citizens of the town

Lily on the other hand clutched beside Mia as she prayed for the souls of the dead, while Hibiki on the other hand instructed to check the bodies if their is any signs of life in hope to find a survivor amidst this destruction

"Just what could've have happened here?" Asks like Luke as he gritted his teeth when he saw a dead body of a male child

"This bastards.... Whoever did this at pure scums I say" commented Alda as he checks the bodies

As they thought of this Hibiki suddenly asks out of nowhere

"Can you guys think of a culprit that could do this?... It's still quite a distance from here to the west border.... In the border there are three villages and one town near it and this town is just way behind it making it impossible for a demon to just arrive here and slaughter all this people" deducted Hibiki as he thought this through

As they thought about this they couldn't help but to agree that the idea is logical, still even with this reasoning they still have doubts whether the demons did this or not

As they thought of this Kaido asks Anna about something

"Do you have a way to find the culprit?" Asks Kaido in a domenearing tone

When Anna heard this she nodded and replied

"I do... Just give me time... I learned a spell when I was young in case such situation arises" she said as she pulls out something from her bag

At that she pulled out a Mana ball in her bag and placed it at the ground

"This will be the medium since casting this spell for a long duration takes a lot of Mana and may result to its caster's death if it's not done properly" explained Anna

As Anna laid the Mana ball at the floor she begun to cast her spell and this caught the attention of the Hero's party causing for them to head near Anna

As they walked near her Kaido puts a halt to their advance as he stopped them with one look

As the brink of its casting the wind around blew wildly as Mana started to become denser in the area

"Past Projection"

As she called out the name of the spell, the surrounding became filled with color of blue and the projection of the reanimation a of the townspeople moved along their sight

"Just what is this spell?" Asks Mia in astonishment

"This spell can bring us back to the time the attack happened and see what had just transpired here" explained Anna as she struggles to concentrate

As the projections moved the company soon realized that the townspeople lived the way they ordinarily lived

As for Kaido he followed the boy who is entering his home only to be surpris d by its parents and greeted it's birthday, the boy was the same boy he found lying In front of the house dead

As he gazed at the happy expression of the family he couldn't help but longed for his past life as he tries to live a normal life with his family

This sudden changed in his mood was witnessed by both Mia and Lily when they peeked at him
