Master Of None Chapter 193
Advertisement
Vincent began to gather a dark energy around his hands as he raised them, the power behind it must be a mastery skill. Walker braced himself unsure if he could stop this. Walker released a fire bolt at Vincent but it somehow curved around him and was blasted in to the ground. Seeing that his attack had failed Walker sent two more trying to stop him from using whatever dangerous skill he was gathering but instead the fire bolts were again deflected.
"I curse this very land with my own blood. Let my soul be burned to bring retributions on those who mock my might." The dark aura converted on his hand and he started to slam it downwards. The guards on the ground had ;picked up pace to rush in to stop him at all costs. The system rang in Walkers ears notifying him that the girl had been saved by Su. This was all seemingly falling in to a chaotic state and Vincent's hand was now inches from the ground, massive gusts of wind pushed them all causing Walker to close his eyes.
The sound of something falling to the ground with a thud and the screaming of Vincent filled the streets. There was blood pouring from where his arm was just moments ago. The arm in question was on the ground starting to fall in to a rotten mass of flesh. The curse he had just attempted to perform had backfired in his failing to complete it and the rebound destroyed it. The fact that someone had severed his arm was a blessing. With even more gusting winds a familiar person had shown up in front of Vincent.
The general Scylla was there, her fan radiating extremely potent wind mana, she had sent a wind blade through the space between them while on her way here to stop Vincent. She had been notified shortly after the guards had been and knew that she would be needed if the report was true. She was much more inclined to believe it hearing it came from one of those that had participated in the tournament just the day before. From their actions she had seen the true spirit they possessed and felt they would not lie about something so serious. On top of that she had also heard the gossip of the hero title.
"You pathetic demon wished to breed harm and misfortune on my side of the city, how dare you. May your soul never find rest in the afterlife." Scylla raised her fan at the struggling Vincent fully intent on killing him.

"Wait lady Scylla!" Walker shouted for her attention while also using Light heal on Vincent to slow the blood loss. "He is terrible indeed but he can tell us more about why he was sent here and what else he has sold. Every item here is cursed by him. We need to save those who have unknowingly taken them.
His words did not seem to register but after a few seconds Scylla lowered her fan, "You are wise but soft boy." her whisper was almost too quiet to hear but nonetheless Walker still understood it. He bowed his head as Scylla glared at Vincent who had passed out from , she raised her flowing clothing slightly and a snakelike creature slithered out, it seemed to have fins and Gil's. "My baby leviathan is fairly resistant to magic so I will have it restrain this trash and take it directly to King Rorick. The guards will confiscate these items. What of that girl with him?" She appeared to want to take the girl as well. "She must be a demon as well, another piece of trash."
"Lady Scylla please allow my party to deal with her, I was able to gather some information that she was a toy for Vincent. He tortured her and severely injured her. She doesn't even have a name." Scylla's face softened just a bit, she had once been the very same, she knew very well that the weaker demons were the same if not treated worse than the slaves.
"You may take here, be sure to ask her as many questions as possible, send the information directly to me." With this the baby leviathan had fully entangled Vincent, Scylla grabbed a hold of its frilled tail pulling in up off the ground. With more wind she was long gone from sight, Walker could not imagine how strong she was and promised himself not to use his appraisal skill on her for fear of seeing something insane.
The guards had stopped their motions intently listening to what Scylla was saying, after her departure they formed smaller teams and carefully began to break down the shop. Some would exclaim that they needed another pair of gauntlets as they would become damaged after touching certain items. Walker couldn't watch them do this over and over knowing that each and every item on the tables was a potential life lost.

Su was a small distance off by a temporarily abandoned fruit stand trying to get the girl to relax, there were tears in the girls eyes. She was shaking all over her nails biting in to her arms. This was not something that she should be involved in at such a young age. Walker was not excited in any sense to have to try and ask her questions about how she got here and what she had been doing. He could not imagine what terrible things had occurred for her to fall under such a terrible person in her young age.
Walker met them and placed his hand on her head while kneeling down to her level. He used his light heal skill over and over watching as bruises faded and the bags under the girls eyes faded. He had spent most of his mana just on this finding that her injuries were much worse than her had expected. "Can you show me those bandages on your arms please? Walker used the same voice he had once used to sooth Lisa when she had been frightened by her first thunderstorm. The situation may be different but the soothing intention was the same to a child. The girl was shaking just a bit less and was able to understand Walker was not about to hurt her after feeling his healing skill. While he removed the dirty bandages revealing scars upon scars Walker continued to speak, " That magic you used was very amazing, I have never seen someone use light magic to make someone invisible. You are very talented." His words were soft and calm which set the mood for the girl to slow her breathing and relax. "Su can you please get Remey, I am sure she would love to meet someone new, You know you are just the same age of Remey's younger brothers and sisters." Walker rambled on about Remey growing up in an orphanage and taking care of all her siblings. This seemed to calm the girl even more but she was far from relaxed.
Remey came over easily, "I can't believe Scylla stopped that evil guy, I was ready to give him a face full of fist." She was finishing up her conversation with Su when she saw the state of the girl Walker was talking to and immediately jumped in to big sister mode. With Remey now fully caring for the girl, Walker motioned for onyx and Midnight to come over. They stayed away from the girl as not to scare her more, Gil made his way over as well. "Gil I have no idea how you landed that arrow but it was perfect." Clapping Gil on the back, Gil showed a slightly embarrassed look.
"Well when that light flashed around I had no idea where he went, but when I saw the table corner move I figured something was off so I shot an arrow at the spot I thought was weird. Lucky me my arrow got stuck in the air. Who would have thought light magic could make someone invisible. It is weird though, a demon bringing around a girl who had light magic, I thought demons hated light magic."Gil was right, there were plenty of stories that spoke about how much demons disliked light magic since their culture held dark elemental magic in high esteem.
Midnight and Onyx were looking at Walker expectantly they definitely wanted some praise after following his commands to retreat after the attack. "You two did well, I am glad he didn't get his hands on either of you, he could place a curse on someone with a touch.I feel bad for Su's shield, it fell to dust." Walker and Gil looked off to the pile of rusty dust on the ground, that shield had protected all of them for a long time now, it had even been modified with dragon scale but it still didn't withstand the hex touch of Vincent.
The guards had begun to carefully escort crates filled with the cursed items away, any citizen around was kept away due to the danger. They seemed well experienced in such matters and most likely gained these skills from their time guarding the markets. Seeing that things were handled Walker wanted to encourage them to move to the tamers guild so they could get a handle on what happened and make the girl more relaxed away from the streets that would soon be crowded again.
