Cursed Thrones
Chapter 16 - Blood Drop

'Ttraang! The klaangg! Ttrraangg!'

'Bruuukk! Kraa!'k!!'

A very loud sound could be heard from outside. Wake Brian up immediately.

"Damn it, who renovates the house in the morning like I...."

His words immediately came to a halt after looking out the window. Where the sky still looks dark with moonlight covered with clouds that are so dim.

'Kreeetkkk!'

Not long after, a reddish light can be seen passing through the window of his room.

At that moment, Brian immediately woke up from his sleep.

'Sreeett! Bruk! Bruk! Bruk!'

Immediately after pulling his sword, Brian immediately ran towards the sleeping Cecilia bed.

"Oi! Wake up! We're under attack!" brian shouted as he lightly slapped the face of the Elf girl a few times.

"Huh?! What did you say?!"

Beyond her estimation, Cecilia soon awoke. He quickly picked up the bow and arrow and covered his head with the beanie.

Both of them were intending to run down the stairs from this house. But in reality, the fire has devoured most of these houses.

Extremely hot temperatures can be felt even from a distance. Not only that, the dense black smoke also suffocated the breath of the two of them.

"Damn it! Cecilia, through the window!"

Now the two of them returned to their room and jumped through the window.

It's just....

The view of the village before them had changed 180 degrees. A village so calm and peaceful, it was now filled with a sea of fire in all directions.

"No! Please not my daughter! Nah! Aarggghs...."

The voice of a woman's cry rang out from a distance before it finally disappeared.

"Grahaha! Graaaa!!!"

Along with the disappearance of the woman's shout, the sound of laughter from the monsters could be clearly heard.

"There!" shouted Cecilia who immediately ran while avoiding the flames.

Brian caught up with her from behind. The direction Cecilia was going was very much to the village square. And what the two of them saw there, was a nightmare that was never even imagined.

Dozens of Goblins look attractive and gather the villagers.

Or rather, the village girl and woman who were still quite young in the middle of the square. Tied them all up with a tight rope.

"Graa! Araha!!!"

The Goblins were seen laughing in satisfaction while enjoying their dishes together.

Brian, unable to see such a crazy sight, reflexively ran towards the crowd of Goblins.

But Cecilia responsibly stopped him immediately. He held Brian's right arm firmly.

"You want to kill yourself?"

"But...."

"They have dozens. And maybe there's more out there. We can't survive." Cecilia interrupted Brian.

"Then you ask me to keep quiet looking at all that?!"

Cecilia did not answer. He just lifted the bow with his left hand while pulling the arrow with his right hand.

Directing one of the Goblins in the distance.

'Swuuusshh!!! Jleebbb!!!'

The arrow he shot hit right in the middle of the Goblin's head. Killed instantly.

Simultaneously, the other Goblins who noticed it immediately turned their heads towards the origin of the arrow shot.

'Sreet! Bruuk!!!'

Strongly, Cecilia pulled Brian and threw him behind one of the buildings.

"Damn it! What are you...."

"I'm here! Fucking goblins!!!"

Unexpectedly, Cecilia shouted very loudly. Trying my hardest to attract the attention of the Goblins.

"Gr!!!"

"Graa!! The sraggg!!!"

With a completely incomprehensible language, one of them was seen pointing towards Cecilia.

"Brian, I'll lure them. The rest I leave to you."

"Wait on! What's...."

Not waiting for an answer from Brian, the Elf girl immediately turned around and ran away. But he kept his speed a bit low so that it could be chased by those Goblins.

'Gruuduukk! The gruudukk! The gruudukk!'

Dozens of Goblins ran past Brian's body hiding near the wall of the house. Trying not to make a sound or move even a little.

Not a single Goblin noticed it.

And Cecilia's plan to distract the Goblins worked perfectly. But....

'Hand over the rest? Then what about you?' brian thought in his heart.

Now he doubts how.

On the one hand, he really wanted to save everyone in this village. But on the other hand, Cecilia was the only person closest to her in this world.

Losing it is the same as losing direction and purpose in this world.

But the rice has become porridge.

If he were to waste the opportunity Cecilia had given him like this.... Brian will no longer be able to look at Cecilia's figure without shame.

'Sreet!!!'

Quickly, Brian immediately ran. He passed through the burning sea of fire.

'Damn it! So hot!'

Unlike what he saw in various movies or comics, crashing into the sea of fire is very hot and painful. But that's all he can do.

Upon arrival at the square, Brian immediately cut the rope ties of the villagers quickly.

"Thank God, help us...."

"My daughter...."

"Dad...."

Everyone's faces were filled with sadness as well as tears. Makes Brian's heart even more sliced when listening to them all.

"Just calm down, I'll save you all" said Brian, who kept cutting the rope in their hands.

Brian continued his rescue for a few minutes.

Beside him, the figure of the old woman who gave him a place to live looked smiling in satisfaction.

"Thank you, thanks...."

"Not a big deal. Anyways...."

'Braa!!!'

While Brian was still replying to the old woman, a mace blew the old woman's head off. Leaving only his severed neck.

'Spraaasshhh!!'

Blood spurted in all directions for a while before finally stopping. Turning into droplets and a gentle flow of blood.

Not long after, the old woman's body fell to the ground. No longer helpless.

Behind it, there was the figure of a Goblin that was slightly larger than the others. But saying it a little bit might be too understating.

If most of the Goblins only had a height of about 120cm, then the Goblin that was before Brian at the moment....

It has a body with a height of 160cm and a body that is more sturdy than other Goblins.

His right hand carried a mace with many nails that stuck in the head of the mace.

"Gerr.... Man, how dare I steal my food...."

'He can talk?!'

Without realizing it, several Goblins appear to appear from all directions. Slowly but surely, they all approached the direction Brian was.

'Damn it?! Since when they....'

'Braa!!!'

Some Goblins were seen throwing something at Brian like a worthless item.

Seeing what was before him, both of his eyes opened. Can't believe what he saw.

The figure of an Elf girl with silver hair and rosy eyes lay helpless before him. His body was seen to be filled with stab wounds and bruises behind his clothes that had been torn on various sides of it.

Blood continued to flow from all parts of his body, and his gaze looked so limp.

Even so, the Elf girl still had a chance to speak.

"La. ri...."
