The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess

323 Chapter 323:Affected By Darkness



“Stop!” Morderk screamed while gritting his teeth to suppress the pain in his ears.

With a mad roar, Morderk jumped up and swung his sword with all his strength.

The closed space brightened under the swing of his sword.

BOOOM!

With a small blast causing an explosion, the upper portion of the roof was blown away by Morderk.

Morderk strike blew away the upper floor along with the roof.

Dust and debris flew all around and layers of scrapes started to fall.

The scream was suddenly stopped and Mordek used this opportunity to plunge ahead through the layer of dust.

Morderk eyes caught the side of the figure and he slashed his sword.

“Noooooooooo!”

A piercing roar hit Morderk and threw him a bit off balance and the direction of the sword changed a little and it struck the side of the wooden pane.

The cloud of dust blew away due to the force of the strike and as soon as Mordek caught sight of the future, his movement paused a little.

“Huh!”

With a startled look, Morderk stared at the figure who seemed to be frightened, unable to open his words.

After struggling for a bit, the banshee scream was about to emerge from the lips of the figure again but Morderk came to his senses immediately and closed the mouth and cuffed the hands, pinning them to the ground.

The Knights who followed up with Morderk to the upper floor were surprised by the sight that greeted them.

“Cough…Cough…”

“Did you catch the enemy?” Alex asked while shaking away the dust.

He noticed the knight’s odd reaction and wondered whether the enemy was too ugly for them to digest or it was a real creature of darkness and they were shocked to see the being.

The Knights made for Alex to see.

Alex’s steps halted and he blinked for a moment seeing the enemy underneath Morderk and he forgot to breathe for a moment.

“Uncle Morderk, is this the enemy we were fighting?”

Morderk nodded awkwardly.

Alex was perplexed for a moment, seeing the sight of the petite girl who looked 16 years old.

She had pinkish hair but a side of her hair had turned black along with her hand which extended to the portion of the neck.

Her hand glistened with fair dark fumes emerged.

Alex used the Eyes of Truth on the girl.

Name:Cherry[Infected By Power Of Darkness]

Rank:Squire

Class:Dreamweaver, Banshee

Talent:Sound Attack, Hallucination, Summoning

Potential:Unknown[For Now]

Alex swallowed his saliva, unable to find words to describe the girl.

It was really out of his wildest imagination. The girl’s case was similar to a mutated zombie in the apocalypse and he wasn’t even able to discern whether the girl was from this world or a half-breed of a creature of darkness.

Alex walked towards her and squatted down.

“I will give you a chance to speak.”

“Answer my question and if I find your answer convincing, I will let you live.”

“Uncle Morderk take off your hand.”

“Are you sure about that, your Majesty?” Morderk asked with hesitation after all the distance was quite close and if she attacked Alex from this close distance, he might be hurt badly.

“Who are you?” Alex asked while gesturing for Morderk to withdraw his hand.

As soon as Morderk pulled out his hands which were closing her mouth, the howl filled with agony resounded again.

“Please don’t kill me. I am innocent.”

“I thought you were here to hunt and kill people..woooo…”

Morderk closed the lid quickly fearing that they may go deaf

‘This is troublesome.’Alex muttered inwardly while backing away.

It seems he needs to take care of his ears after this.

The girl seemed to be shaking violently with fear and her eyes were filled with sorrow and despair along with a strong will to survive.

In a normal case, Alex could use his power to calm her down but since he can’t, he needed to calm her down through words but it wouldn’t be easy.

He didn’t know nor can he imagine what this girl had suffered in the recent days when the disaster had struck this place.

Her condition was quite surprising and no matter whether she is a human or a creature of darkness, she had struggled and suffered a lot and Alex can’t comfort her with a lie that he understands her situation.

“Listen, small girl.”

“You see this insignia here,” Alex muttered, pulling out an insignia with the face of a lion carved on it.

“This is a royal insignia. It’s proof of my identity. And I am the King of Lionheart.”

“As soon as I heard that my land was under threat and the lives of my people in jeopardy, I rushed from far away but alas I failed to save my people who were in this town.”

“So, please help me to uncover the situation. I will try my best to help you and provide you with aid. I swear on my honour.”

“And yeah, can you please speak slowly?”

The girl’s eyes widened and as Morderk again pulled out his hands, one could see her lips trembling violently.

“You…you are our king.”

“Why did you come so late? If only you or your troops had arrived in time, my parents and my sister wouldn’t be killed…Wu…Wu..Wu…”

The girl started to sob and let go of the sorrow that was hidden in her heart.

“It’s okay, you can cry all you want. You can blame me. It’s all due to my negligence but before that can you at least tell me what happened here.”

Alex spoke while asking Morderk to leave her.

Alex looked around to find a spot for the girl to sit but seeing everything had been destroyed, he asked her to sit at the edge comfortably.

Cherry cried for a while and after introducing herself, she started to narrate the events.

“I think it was three or four days ago, a strong wind blew carrying a very deep dark smoke from afar. At first, we didn’t think much of it but later, it became too thick like a cloud and covered the entire place.”

“For the first few minutes, it was very difficult to breathe. Those who inhaled it either died of choking or became violent.”

“I can remember the scene of nearby people whose veins and eyes bulged out as if they have turned into a beast who have lost their every reason trying to attack everyone on sight.”

“My sister was seven years old and unable to hold on anymore he succumbed to death than it was my mother.”

Tears started to fall again from her eyes as she remembered the scene of her mother and sister choking to death and being attacked by those beasts.

“My father pulled me away in distress and tried to run away but on the way, we were attacked by others and my father asked me to hide while he bore the brunt. I was injured and was bitten on my neck by a man and was scratched by him but my father held him tightly while asking me to run and survive no matter what.”
