" Lyner was getting excited, as he had gained info that the enemy squad consisted of three S rank mercs, and the remaining are A ranks .

"I know that you guys are hiding, show yourselves, and let’s all have fun! If you guys don’t come out, well then you will die without knowing how you’re killed . " When Lyner made his threat, three men showed up from behind the trees . One of them started reciting something .

"Run, run, run, cause here he comes .

Run, run, run, for the monster comes .

A Swish of his blade and your head begone

With the shot of his gun, you’re all but done" The man who recited those words, smiled at Lyner .

You could have bother fame and fortune, and easily leave the battlefield to live a leisurely life . Yet you went and killed somebody you shouldn’t have .

"I don’t care about that! If he has set foot on the battlefield, then he must have been ready to die! Who cares about the sh*t Tang Clan! All I want from you guys is an epic battle! As long as I get to fight that kind of battle it doesn’t matter if I die! Come on, I know it’s not just you three! I can sense it, hundreds are currently surrounding us!"

The three men smiled, "Fine, let’s get this over with . " The leader made some hand signals, and after a minute a hundred soldiers all equipped with rifles, had surrounded them .

. . .

None but one soldier survived that day, and he would forever remember the demon he saw . He kept on repeating the words "that wasn’t a God, that was a demon in human skin . "
