E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 123 - The Inevitable

"Wait first! Don't bala...." Shouted Alicia with all her might, trying to stop the reply from her troops.

But it was all for nothing. His troops, who had received a rain of arrows from Venice City, had now opened their fire.

With a reply of hundreds of arrows, dozens of soldiers who were on top of the walls of Venice City were killed.

Leo who saw the horror of this also immediately thought of a way to relieve it. He did not expect that this supposed peaceful negotiation would end up like this.

"Selene! Go back to the wall and order everything to stop immediately!" Shouted Leo.

"By soon!"

Selene immediately strengthened herself with wind magic. It makes its movements much faster with a body that is also much lighter.

On the other hand, Reina seemed to be constantly on standby. If only....

'Shuutt!!'

An arrow shot very quickly towards Leo's head. But just before it hit him, the arrow immediately swerved until it missed.

Leo realized it was silence. Pay close attention to the origin of the arrow attack.

Unlike before, since the incident in the forest, Leo has always coated his body with low-level wind magic. Although not perfect, the wind magic can deflect some of the long-range attacks that lead to it.

"So that's it." Leo said after learning about the shooter.

He walked slowly past the figure of Alicia who still looked so busy trying to dampen the counterattack from his troops.

"Did Feris know something about this?" Ask Leo.

"What do you mean?" Alicia asked confusedly with the intent of Leo's ambiguous question.

But he didn't reply to her. He simply picked up his magic weapon and pointed it at the shooter.

Without hesitation....

'Twoaarr!'

The shot from the gun immediately hit right at the foot of the soldier.

"Gaaahhhh!" He cried out in pain after receiving the attack.

"Wait first! Leo! What are you...."

"Who ordered you?" Leo asked as he walked slowly towards her.

Seeing Reina beside Leo with the sword in her right hand, some of the soldiers began to retreat.

Some of them had seen that the Man who had just been shot by Leo, was the Man who also shot the arrow at Leo.

So they let Leo through.

"I asked you again, who asked you to kill me?" Ask Leo who is now standing right in front of him.

Alicia just kept trying to ask her troops to remain calm. What's more, Selene is seen to have successfully stopped a counterattack from the walls of Venice.

Therefore, there is no need to continue this misunderstanding.

In front of Leo, only the frightened face of a Soldier was seen. He thought that he might soon die.

At a time when the situation was so tense, some soldiers seemed to walk through the ranks of other soldiers while throwing someone with a battered face.

"Miss Alicia. We've arrested the perpetrator from the fireball shooting just now." Said one of the soldiers.

The figure of the shooter of the magic ball was the same as the other soldiers. Wearing armor like a knight, but can use magic.

After the situation had subsided, now everyone was focused on those two people. A person who deliberately seeks to prevent peace.

With his left hand, he held the man's face slowly. Even after being covered by the black leather glove, the light of the Runes attached to Leo's hand was still clearly visible.

And now, with his current strength....

"Enchant." Said Leo in a soft voice.

With just that simple word, as well as the reddish glow in Leo's hand, he could become a possible interrogator.

"Hows it? You like that?" Ask Leo to the man.

At that very instant, the man lost sight in one of his eyes. All thanks to Leo using Enchantment, but in a negative sense.

After conducting quite a number of experiments on him as well as the existing criminal prisoners, the ability to use Enchantment by Leo had increased drastically. To the extent that it can strengthen, or weaken, one of its target organs.

And this time, the target was none other than the eyes of the man.

"W-what are you doing?!" Shouted The man was scared. He seemed to be trying to make sure that his right eye was not blind. But no matter how many times he tried, he knew. That he had lost one of his visions at the touch of Leo's hand.

Alicia who saw that was shocked. Because based on what Feris said, Leo can only do it on inanimate objects such as armor and weapons.

But this?!

'Isn't his strength too strong?!'

Everyone who saw his reaction immediately stepped back. Stay away from Leo slowly.

"That's right. This hand is a cursed hand. Whoever I touch will get a curse according to what I want." Firmly Leo while giving a cold look to everyone around him.

Especially the two people who committed war crimes before him.

"Now, tell me the truth. If not, I'll totally blind you. And if you still don't want to say it, I'll make you deaf.

And so on until your whole senses no longer work. But relax, I'll let you live. Besides, I'm not a bad guy." Leo clearly told the two people before him.

His left hand approached slowly. To his opponent, Leo's left hand is like a countdown. And they both know that Leo means it and can really do it.

"Three.... Two.... One.... Time's up."

'Saturray!'

Leo immediately held the man's face back. And this time, blinded his last eyes. Makes him see absolutely nothing.

"Aarr! Ahhhhh!!!" Shouted The man like a madman. Both of his hands were trying to fumble around him. As a last resort to know the surroundings without the help of the eyes.

But not the pity, nor the forgiveness he received. Except for another threat.

"Say, who gave you the order? This time, I'll take the hearing in your left ear."

Shortly before Leo did the countdown, the man shouted.

"Lord! A noble from the Rustfell region asked me to do this! The woman said that you are a tyrant who oppresses the remaining women in the region! That's why...."

Leo, Reina, and Alicia who heard that looked quite surprised. Especially Leo, because the answer is a little out of his estimation.

'Nobility? Wh why? What do you want them? No. gabe.... That's not....'

After that, in the same way, Leo reveals all the information from the other man. But the results were not satisfactory.

He said that a nobleman ordered him to attack Venice because the city had been ruled by the Devil. And everything is just a trick to fool mankind.

Although a little ambiguous, but now everything is realized.

That there is a person, or a party. Who made use of the chaos in this winter to divide mankind.
