I'll become a villain in my next life

Chapter 87: Mysterious Shade

[Decimated Town]

By the the night falls the company managed to bury all of the dead right outside the town's vicinity

After that they took refuge at one of the abandoned inn and stayed there for the night

As everyone contemplated to the events that they've seen today, they all have one common thing in mind and that is to avenge the dead by hunting down those army of bandits for them

As everyone was inside they're rooms, Jack sneaked out to locate the whereabouts of the bandits in accordance to Kaido's orders

As for Kaido he took Melfina and Anna and led them to the square to look for clues regarding the whereabouts of the bandits and they're strengths and numbers

As they leaved the inn, Lily who was sitting by the window and contemplating about the events that happened saw the trio walking out of the inn and heading to the square. Thus she subsequently tilted her head to the side as she peak at what they're trying to do

When the Kaido, Melfina, and Anna arrived at the town's square, Kaido first circled the square as he looks around the vicinity before turning to Anna and requesting for her to cast the past Projection spell again just like what she did in the morning

"Can you cast the spell?" Asks Kaido

"Are you sure?... For what purpose are you trying to reach by doing this?"

With Anna's question it outs Kaido into a deep thought for a moment before replying

"Maybe... It's for my own curiosity... Or I couldn't just leave this matter aside" he replied calmly

Truth be told Kaido was feeling a little bit tired by all of this, not only was he being pestered by the cursed sword whenever he lets his guard down but he is also being pestered by the thought of such horrible events and this is included

He just couldn't help himself but to feel angry and ripped the opposition apart whenever he witnesses something like this, even in his previous world such things was also happening the same way

"No matter which world everything is the same" he muttered silently

As Anna casted the spell this immediately caught the attention of the people who are sensitive to Mana especially the hero who was startled awoken from his sleep because of the sudden Mana surge

As time passed by and Kaido watched the scene again for the second time, he couldn't help but felt bitter by the events especially the scarred bandit which face was deeply engraved in his mind and this particular bandit was the one who ravaged the mother of the boy who was killed in front of him

No matter what! That guy's was his to kill... That is what he thought whenever he saw the man's face

As he observed the projection he suddenly notice something amiss and his sudden change in atmosphere was quickly picked up by both Melfina and Anna causing them to be on high alert

As the projection plays out Kaido saw a hood d shadow from the opposite side of the square quietly staring at him

At first he thought this was a projection but soon he noticed that it wasn't when he realized that it was looking at him and following his movement with it's gaze

Following Kaido's gaze both Melfina and Anna quickly saw the shadow and by just staring at it gave both of them the goosebumps they have never felt before

Because of that Anna quickly cuts off her spell but the moment she cuts off her spell the shadow smiled at Kaido before launching itself at him

This action surprised Kaido for he didn't expect the shadow to attack him
