An Extra’s POV

"Charge in!"

General Lucy and her forces rushed inside the room at her command, their loud roars a clear testament to the resolve burning within their hearts.

However, only a few seconds after entering the room, all of their resolve melted into something else.

"A-ahh…?!"

"M-my goodness…"

"T-this is…!"

All their eyes could see it… the scene of carnage that lay before their very eyes.

The mangled and butchered corpses of a thousand people decorated their sight and overwhelmed their senses.

Even Lucy, with all of her experience on the battlefield, found herself widening her single eye.

'T-this is horrible!'

She had never seen or heard of a single human cause such extensive bloodshed on fellow people.

This felt awful beyond comparison.

It felt wrong.

'That man… Sir Ralyks… he did this…?'

Lucy had always gotten bad vibes in his presence—as if he was a dangerous one that she couldn't afford to mess with.

However, she never expected him to be so ruthless.

'The Royal Council trusts him as an ally, and since he executed the members of the Criminal Underworld, none of his actions here are illegal.'

However, Lucy couldn't help but feel anxious.

'What if he stops becoming an ally?' Lucy didn't want to imagine such a possibility.

After all, the moment Ralyks ceased being on their side would be the day she would have to raise her blade against him.

Lucy found herself gulping at the thought.

'Should that day ever arrive… I'll become nothing more than these lumps of flesh and stains of blood.'

It caused her to shiver.

"D-don't just stand there! Examine the corpses and identify the ones who belong to the respective Houses." Lucy declared.

"I'll lead a separate unit on an investigative tour of the entire building. We will be stripping this entire place of all its secrets, from top to bottom!"

Lucy turned behind her and looked at Kara Verte—their ally and informant.
