It's 1 week since Elsha escaped from the village, and people who were said to have killed Elsha praised and worshipped them. But even after killing the witch, the spreading disease didn't stop. Even in this critical situation like rabid dogs, the villagers lock the old man Wilfred in a cage and place it in the center of the village. They throw stones at him without even considering his age.
While all these incidents happening, Lucio comes back from his Dukedom followed by his butler named Vulcan.
"I don't need you to follow me. So go back."
"But young master, it's the Lord's order to follow you, if I don't, you will not return by the time of your sibling's ceremony"
After being tired of the arguing, Lucio gives up on pursuing his butler on leaving him.
"But young master, why are you coming to this remote area? even you rushed without hearing what the lord has to say"
Lucio flinches a little.
"Ahem, follow me without asking more questions"
The butler smiles and looks at Lucio.
"Yes, young master"
Due to a long time of not seeing each other, Lucio decided to visit Elsha's home. He walks according to what Elsha told him before and slowly he reaches out of the forest.
"It should be near here"
After telling this Lucio walks towards the flower hill while hoping to see Elsha. Upon reaching there, what Lucio saw was a burn-down house. Lucio panics.
"Young master?"
While holding his emotion Lucio asks.
"Vulcan, can you search the area"
While understanding the situation butler answered.
"Yes, Young master"
After using magic, the butler nods his head that he found nobody was under the house. Lucio sighs in relief.
"Let's go to the village and investigate the incident"
Both of them travel down to the village. They notice the situation of the village due to the disease, but to their surprise, their face is filled with happiness.
'How can they be happy in this situation' Lucio thought.
While walking through the street all the young ladies of the village were staring at the handsome young man who appeared at their village.
"Is he from outside the village?" "Why did a high-class man come to our village?" these types of questions were asked by the young ladies. Some of them even try to talk to him.
"Sir, why did you come to this village?"
He didn't reply to any. While walking he noticed a cage in the middle of the road and an old man was locked inside the cage. His body was covered in bruises and his body was slim due to starvation.
"What happened to that old person" Lucio asked a person standing near him.
"Oh... that man was a witch worshipper and tried to destroy this village. After the four heroes killed the witch, we caught him. What is more hilarious is that the man kept crying the witch's name after hearing her death" he laughed.
After realizing what happened he had the urge to kill the loose mouth person.
"Where are the places of these four heroes" he asked while biting his lips in wrath.
"Oh. You guys want to see them. Go straight and left, there is still a crowd so it is easy to find them.
After hearing this both of them walk in the direction.
"Young master, while we are passing through where the cage is, let's ask the Elder about it"
"Mm"
After they both reach the cage, they look at the old man.
"Ha. are you also coming to curse her and spit at me? Even if you do so, I never let you curse that poor child"
"Elder, we came here not to curse her we are searching for her can you please tell us if is she still alive? She will not die that easily I know her" Lucio speaks in a shivering voice.
"Who are you guys? Are you here to kill her if she is not dead?"
"Elder, please"
After a long silence, the old man spoke.
"I don't even know, she left after I gave her supplies and she left for the forest, and what I heard they killed her near the forest" the old man sobs.
After hearing this Lucio order butler.
"Vulcan, search the forest for the bag or trace of her"
"As you wish" and he disappears.
"Don't worry elder I will find her" After saying this he clutches his fist and walks in the direction of the crowd.
The people were waiting to see the heroes and even brought gifts for them. The people who were scared due to the disease, forget about its existence and like a cult they worship the heroes. While in this commotion, Lucio walks through the crowd, and like fog he disappears when he reaches the door.
Inside the house, the so-called heroes were drunk and sleeping on the floor. Lucio slowly walks and takes the knife which was on the table and stabs the leg of the slim man.
"Arghhhhhh" a loud cry echoes the room.
However, due to the barrier, nothing was heard by the people outside.
"Who are you, bastard?" the leader of the hero group asked.
"Me? I'm your grim reaper"
The Leader and the sobered members charged at Lucio. But their level difference was devastating.
"Now, everyone becomes obedient, I'm going to ask everyone some questions" Lucio said with a devilish smile.
Lucio began to torture them. While torturing them he finds out that they didn't kill Elsha and also what happened to her, about the villager's plan, everything.
After hearing what happened and couldn't hold his anger Lucio's mana covers and overflows. When mana rises, Wings grow behind him, his ear becomes pointed, and his rage covers the village.
"M-monster"
The heroes can't even speak because of mana suppression. Like someone suffocating them, they find it hard to breathe. Lucio breaks the house and flies up in the sky.
After making a barrier around the cage of the elder, Lucio snaps his finger. Like water shooting from the fountain, magma shoots from the ground and covers the village in fire. The cries of the villagers echoed like the cry of hell, ground broke and lava flowed. That is how the Grifil village became the land of lava. While Lucio looked at the village from above. Vulcan appears.
"Young master, I found out the trace. She indeed escaped"
"Sigh. Ok, Vulcan let's go. Before that, help the old man"
"Yes, young master"
This incident erased the village from the map and became an unsolved legend.
At this time Elsha reached the Outside of the forest with the help of the Lynx.
