Cursed Thrones
Chapter 9 - Hecate's Eye?

"So.... No power?" asked Brian with a slightly disappointed face.

"No way! There's gotta!" cecilia shouted as she continued to grope her own right eye. He was trying to bring out whatever power came from that eye.

But apparently, his efforts did not produce any results at all.

The eyes seemed to have no power. Not the same as Hecate's blood before.

"Aarrrghh! Come outside! Dark power!"

While Cecilia was still trying hard to get the power out of her eyes, Brian had walked away. Go towards the house while they.

"I'm going to get out of here. I'm waiting for you at the South gate." said Brian from a distance.

......***......

From behind the collapsed gate, the figure of Cecilia was seen walking with a face so lethargic. He seems to have no spirit in his life.

Brian who understood what caused it tried to calm him down.

"Oh, forget about it. It's possible that Hecate's eyes don't have special abilities." Brian explained.

Cecilia simply fell silent while nodding her head. Walk slowly following Brian's footsteps.

The two decided to continue their journey. But this time it wasn't to search for Hecate's remaining strength.

Instead of going back towards the mountains at the Frostbite border. Trying to restart a quiet life in the dark of the forest.

For Satan, the only safe place is a place that is shunned by man.

But on the way....

"Hmm? Brian, what's with your left hand?" ask Cecilia confused.

In his view, Brian's left hand saw a stream of blood dripping slowly to the ground.

It was just that when Cecilia tried to touch the blood, her hand seemed to pierce through it just like that.

"What's wrong? I don't think anything happened to my left hand?" reply Brian while looking over his left arm.

It was only a few seconds after Brian replied to Cecilia's question....

'Shuuutt! Jilbb!!!'

An arrow shot right at Brian's left wrist.

"Kughh!!" shouted Brian in pain.

Immediately, Brian jumped away and noticed the direction of the arrow.

In the distance, from the forest. Several human figures are seen hiding behind the dark forest in the human region.

Brian immediately pulled the sword on his waist with his right hand. Prepare to face a group of hunters in the distance.

"Cecilia! Get ready to run and...."

The figure of Cecilia, instead of preparing to fight or run away. But he was silent in place with his mouth wide open.

'Ti-impossible.... I just saw clearly that.' Cecilia thought in her heart.

"Cecilia!"

'Shuuuttt!!!'

The arrow shot back, now towards Cecilia. Brian who realized that immediately ran towards Cecilia. Rescue from the arrow.

'Braa!!'

Both were on the ground.

"What are you doing?! Don't shut up and let's run!" brian shouted as he pulled Cecilia back to her feet.

Without waiting any longer, the two immediately ran away. Back to the ruins of Baltimore.

From the forest, 6 young men ran out. They were seen wearing simple leather armor, with what armaments they were.

'Sruuug! Oruugg!!'

While hiding behind the ruins of the Baltimore City gate, Brian glanced towards the group of youths.

"They're royal soldiers?" ask Brian.

Cecilia just kept quiet. Thinking about what she just experienced. He still could not understand what had just happened before.

"Cih, okay. Seeing them is only six...."

Brian decided to feel a small part of this fantasy world. With their usual equipment, as well as a small amount, he felt quite confident.

Moreover, He had something that was referred to as the remaining power of the Demon King.

"Then, then...."

With complete confidence, Brian finally decided to run out the wall. Facing the six hunters alone.

Leaving the figure of Cecilia who is still silent to this day.

"Kill him, the Guild will give a large commission to the demons" said one of the young men in the distance.

'Zraaat!'

Brian's faster and more agile movements were able to shorten the distance between them in an instant.

He swung the old sword towards one of the young men carrying a bow and arrow. But....

'Oh!!!'

A young man carrying a wooden shield immediately stopped Brian's sword swing.

From the other side, a spear immediately pointed right at Brian's body.

'Bab!!'

"Uughh!!'

With ease, the spear stuck right in Brian's stomach. Penetrate the thin fabric that protects it.

'Na-apparently.... I'm not the main character like the fantasy stories I read....'

Brian began to notice. That he does not have the ability or expertise in fighting.

Seeing blood is rare enough. Moreover, swinging the sword to face 6 people at once.

Even if his physical abilities were considerably improved due to the blood from Hecate, his skill in fighting had not been supportive at all.

"What'sthis? It's so weak."

"Maybe it's just an E-rank?"

"No problem. We can still obtain some gold pieces by handing the demon over to the Guild."

'Jleeebb! Sraaasshhh!'

In order to ascertain the results of their hunt, the few youths again unsheathed and also swung their swords towards Brian.

He hurt her even further.

'Stupid.... What am I thinking of advancing here?! Do I intend to be a hero or something? No. gabe.... Its bad.... My view....'

Brian's gaze began to become increasingly blurry slowly.

His body no longer felt any pain from the stab. But it felt a chill gnawing at his body.

His body was limp, his legs were no longer able to support his body. He immediately fell to the ground.

"Remember him. If it is still alive it will be a little more valuable" said one of the young men.

'It's kah.... What are the monsters that humans hunt? Haha.... So it's like this....'

Brian was no longer able to fight. With that scarred body, he could only fall silent.

"True, wasn't he with a woman before?"

"He must have hidden it. Oh! Tell me where the woman is hiding?!"

"You know, we can....'

'Babee!'

Before finishing his words, an arrow stuck right in the young man's forehead. Killed instantly.

"Eh?"

'Bab!!!'

Just turning his head, the arrow pierced right through the young man's left ear. Get him killed instantly.

"What the fuck?! Sia...."

'Jleeebb!!!'

Once again, an arrow struck right on the forehead of the young man who had just spoken. The arrow shot was so accurate that it made Brian who was still half conscious of astonishment.

'What's going on? Did Cecilia do it?'

"Forget over! Come on...."

Not having time to run away from this place, the arrow shot back through the young man's head from behind.

"It's crazy! Because...."

'Jleeb!!!'

And finally....

Now there is only one person left. The figure that carried Brian, now grabbed him and used him as a shield.

"Don't shoot! Or you'll kill your own partner!" the young man shouted while taking cover behind the injured body of Brian.

The young man continued to walk back slowly, while using Brian's body as a shield from the mysterious arrow.

"Good.... If it continues like this then...."

'Jleeebb!!!'

Just for a second the young man showed his face outside Brian's body shield, the arrow stuck right in his right eye.

A shot that shouldn't be possible, because to achieve it....

The shooter must be able to know exactly when the young man will show the gap. It shows his face coming out of his shield.

On top of the collapsed gate, the figure of Cecilia carrying a bow and arrow stood firmly.

His face seemed to be unable to believe what he had just achieved.

"It's.... Much stronger than I imagined. So it was because of these eyes that Demon King Hecate could always dodge the fatal attacks of the heroes?"

Cecilia's vision seemed to be mixed. Not because his vision is less clear, or there is a wound in his eye.

Rather than at that glance, Cecilia could see the foreshadowing of the future that was about to happen. Making his arrow shot impossible to miss the target.

"Brian! Hang on! I'll save you soon!" shouted Cecilia who immediately jumped down from the gate and ran towards Brian.
