944 943. A little over the top
---Adventurer Guild's Holy Land---
Commander Harrad and a troop made up of 50 elites and 250 nameless heroes summoned through the powers of the dungeon were galloping toward the location the priest had given with his prayer when he suddenly signaled all of them to stop.
He had just received a divine message, to pull back and return. It seemed that the priest and the rest of the band of Knights and brought the ultimate sacrifice to relay a final warning. Their words and sight had reached the goddess. Clenching his fist above his heart, he sent a prayer to his goddess, before ordering his men to retreat.
...
Seth was standing in the dungeon inside Legion's pocket dimension, looking at the singed corpses of the priest and the knights. The stench of burned flesh filled the cells. Their eyes and mouths were charred, as if columns of fire had sprouted out from inside their bodies.
"Why try to spare them?" Haa'Skon asked in a slightly monotone voice.
"You know, killing them just for following me seemed a little over the top, although Ceres would disagree."
"What is Ceres?" "Something like a big brother of yours,"
That's right, the burnt bodies were not the blacksmith's work. The bard had meticulously made sure that none of them died in his fire. It was just a distraction so he could knock them out. However, something happened after he stashed them away for later interrogation.
Because of Minas Mar's current situation most of his golems were distributed across their district. Currently, Legion was rather empty and there were no golems guarding the prison at the time. As such, Seth got the message that something was wrong with his captives rather later, while he was on the way out of the dungeon, to meet that Commander Harrad, they mentioned.
Some people may call Seth a cruel man, but he really only was cruel, when he felt justified in his actions. The knights had tracked him, and followed him but they had not attacked him, yet. He felt it would have been overboard to kill them without interroga- Without asking them for their side of the story.
At no point did he expect them to commit suicide in their cells. The more sinister detail was that even their souls were gone.
~This is some kind of ritual. ~ Oz suddenly commented.
" A ritual?" he asked.
Seth brought the demon lyre out from his inventory, so the demon could take a closer look. Although Seth had learned a lot from the demon bard, Oz was still the more knowledgeable when it came to this stuff.
The lyre was gently floating around the corpses to take a closer look, while it played a quiet tune. Oz had not suddenly learned how to levitate, but it was the skill of Seth's Armor.
