Hero of Darkness

Chapter 329: Enjoying The Chaos

In the midst of mangled and shredded flesh, Kahn stood at the center of the open ground of this prison. His wrathful figure and grim tone appeared like an apostle of death to all the prisoners.

After Kahnʼs sudden killing of the prisoners, everyone including the normal guards was on high alert. But after their head himself aligned with their sovereign, they all felt relieved.

However, the atmosphere was still grim because none of them had expected Kahn to suddenly outright kill these many people.

”Oye, you bastards. You still donʼt seem to understand.

When I say that Iʼm the new ruler of this fiefdom.. Means Iʼm the law itself.

Unlike before.. The government wonʼt be protecting your lives to fill the numbers in the military. Here, if I willed it.. I can kill every single one of you whenever I please.

Why do you think I came to visit this place instead of going to normal ones where other criminals are kept?

People like you who have destroyed millions of lives and their families and donʼt deserve to be spared but at least Iʼm giving you a chance to repent.

Itʼs far bigger kindness than fuckers like you would ever deserve. So shut the fuck up and sign the contract!

Or you know the consequences.” declared Kahn

Soon, all of the people came to understand that they never had a choice, to begin with. Those who would not choose Kahn as their new master would be killed regardless of their opinions right here.

And the only way to stay alive and live to see the sun tomorrow was by going through the blood-binding ritual and leaving their fates in the hands of this murderous tyrant.

”Oh, by the way.. There are only 15 thousand contracts. I will kill the remaining ones who did not complete the ritual. Haha!” spoke Kahn and chuckled like a psycho.

The very next seconds, thousands of the inmates ran towards the dormant soldiers who held the contracts and started their rituals like a flock of birds.

None of them wanted to be the last guy and join their former inmates in the journey to the afterlife.

A fight between the inmates started as they tried to grab the contracts and complete the ritual as fast as they could.

Soon, it created another outbreak and caused a bloodbath amongst the prisoners but instead of meddling in.. Kahn sat on a chair and enjoyed the chaos with a sinister laugh… completely opposite of the image of a kind and worthy sovereign who was just and righteous.

”Ha ha ha! Master is getting creative these days. I love it!” spoke Ceril with an exhilarated face as he enjoyed death and merciless killings the most.

In reality, Kahn had more than enough contracts.. But he just wanted to see whether his choice about choosing these monsters living in the society was actually what he thought or he made a bad call.

But after watching the whole fiasco in front of him, his resolve was affirmed furthermore. That he did not make a wrong choice. If put in the army, these bastards wouldʼve made the same choice and caused chaos in their ranks when it came to fight the monster tide.

”Where are the female prisoners?” asked Kahn to the snakekin jailer.

”Theyʼre kept in a different facility very far from here.

But my lord.. Is it appropriate to use them as well?” asked the beginner grandmaster.

”Donʼt look down on women. They can be great spies and informants. And then can infiltrate places where men can never reach.

I wonʼt leave them out because theyʼre also precious assets. After all, I treat everyone fairly in my fiefdom. Regardless of their species or gender.” spoke Kahn as he patted on the jailerʼs shoulder.

After 3 hours passed, all of the remaining prisoners had successfully completed their contracts and chose to become Kahnʼs slaves in the hopes of living longer.

Yawn!

Now only 17 thousand remained as the chaos from before took another thousand lives. Yet there was no hint of remorse or sadness on Kahnʼs face. Instead, he yawned in boredom.

Kahnʼs loud voice filled the wide prison grounds again as he declared his final orders.

”All of you will follow the rules here and wait for my call.

If any of you try to create a scene, I grant the prison management the authority to kill you on the spot.

Soon, my people will come here to shift you to a different base. So stay cooped up and enjoy a comfortable rest.

Because after that.. The real hell will begin!”

Announced Kahn and looked at the jailer as well as the rest of the people from the prison management.

”I will look into this matter and soon I will be sending my people with enough money.” promised Kahn.

On the same day, Kahn traveled to the 2 nearby cities to the capital and repeated the same procedure of enslaving these prisoners in different prisons.

It wasnʼt that the government couldnʼt think of this plan..

Itʼs just that they needed a lot of money for this blood-bind method which they couldnʼt justify in the budget.

Kahn was spending his own money instead of looking for available funds because if he waited for the governmentʼs support, he would have to wait a long time to get simple things done.

In the evening, Kahn and the company returned to their castle and following him, the thousand soldiers also entered the castle.

”Make arrangements for their accommodations. Soon, the next batch will also come.” ordered Kahn to Ronin.

In fact, these were some of the most skilled fighters from the seven deadly sins, Kahnʼs own underworld criminal organization.

He had reasons of his own to call them all here.

At midnight, he held another meeting with all the subordinates.

”Whatʼs next, my lord?” asked Ceril, the mage subordinate.

He had a happy expression as of now because Kahn had ordered their people to bring the dead bodies of those prisoners who died in the outbreak and later, Kahn handed down all the space rings to Ceril that held these bodies inside them.

”We will be visiting a particular site.”

Kahn revealed their next step as he gave the dark summoner subordinate a coy smirk and spoke.

”Someplace where youʼd feel like home.”
