[Novel] The Mirror [Chapter 6 (Part 4/4)]

Soulling is laughing, the sound of his laugh is so weird, like the mixing of growl and chuckles.

"I'm not as strong as what you've imagined, but with my healthy body, now I can even kill a thousand... no, I mean hundreds of druids alone."

"Are they that evil? The Dark Druid?"

"Well, what can we say about monks who serve their lives to the Darkness Lord and his followers, the devil? They're out of their mind. They have a choice to not live this way, that's different from the nature of Minotaurs, we are born as cursed creatures anyway, but they choose to be one."

"They capture humans to sacrifice them?"

"They will drain your energy until the last drop and offer that to the Darkness Lord. Do you know why Minotaurs and Dark Druids have bad relationships?"

Joochan is shaking his head and ready to listen to history while walking forward following the firefly.

"Long time ago, they attacked a village to kidnap humans. They use magic to kill people, you know, but they use the magic that looks like a wound on the human body... a wound that looks like being hit by a spiked club."

"No way... they framed the Minotaurs?"

"Yep. And that's not only happening one time. Well, like I said that Minotaurs' nature is to eat human flesh, I can't say that we are good either, we are cursed, but we don't kill for nothing, we kill to live longer and we never framed anyone if we do bad things. Princess Sungmi is the one who unveiled their bad acts. That's why I really honor her. A lot of Dark Druids run into this forest after Princess Sungmi, Prince Bialaer, me and many want to catch them. So that's why I'm here. They hide quite well but I never fail to catch or kill them if I see any of them. And Prince Bialaer is living close by with some of his colony. We try to trap the Dark Druids here. Well, there are still many of them outside, but at least we captured the biggest colony here."

"That was a long story..." Joochan nodded his head, "and I'm just thinking... Prince Soulling, because you were so nice to me, after the mission ends and we get the elixir of life, you can have me as your dinner."
