Arcana Mob

" Wait, where's Cade?"

While everyone was rejoicing after they defeated the Big Arcane Card, Luna was the one to notice that Cade had gone missing.

She looked left and right as she couldn't find Cade anywhere, and a bad feeling began to rise in her heart.

Yet at this time, she could somehow feel Aurum was looking at her strangely.

" What?"

" No.. I just couldn't understand why you are so concerned about him. You know about it, right? There's a lot of bad rumor su-"

" Stop right there!"

Before Aurum could even finish his words, Luna had already cut him off.

Just like what Aurum said, she also has heard the rumor about Cade.

However, she had known Cade personally, and she couldn't believe that Cade was that guy.

After all, even though they had only met a few times prior to this, Luna who was raised in an environment where she was used to flattery, realized that Cade should not be that kind of person.

Aurum too, realizing Luna's glare, decided to stop.

He also knew that it was just a rumor, and if Luna didn't care about that rumor, then he should stop too.

It's just that he silently vowed that if the rumor was indeed true, then he would do all he could to protect this friend of his from Cade.

The atmosphere turned silent for a bit before Isabel came to break the silence.

" Well, if it's cade. I think I saw him before. He was escorting the researchers outside."

" Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

Luna immediately turned cheerful again when she heard Cade was actually okay.

But never once would she realize that the event after this would bring her nightmare even after a long time had passed.

Led by Luna, the group of five which had just defeated the horde of Monster and Arcane cards went after Cade's direction.

The group, especially Isabel and Luna, were excited to see Cade and ended this first trip which ended up being a bloody nightmare.

But when they saw Cade, they all had a serious expressions.

Surrounding Cade, a group of researchers were lying motionless on the ground.

One look and they could see that none of the researchers actually had a fatal wound on their body, but their current state was already worrying.

What happened that all of the researchers here lay on the ground like a dead fish?

But what startled them the most was actually the fact that Cade was standing in the middle of them, with a dark, gloomy aura that didn't feel like Cade at all, strangling one of the researchers with one hand.

. . . . . . . . .

A few minutes before Isabel and the others arrive, Grigory who previously controlled Cade's body, actually brings the man's consciousness into the secret room.

​​"Oh wow, that's some great attack."

Looking behind him, Grigory whispered in sarcasm as he saw the man's attack continuously miss his body.

Just like Grigory, after he was with Cade, it had been a pretty long time since he had fun like this, so he decided to play around with the man a bit and didn't immediately finish him off.

"...too bad you missed."

Looking at the man who was on the floor panting heavily, Cade could only shake his head helplessly.

The man that he was having a lot of trouble with was treated like a plaything by Grigory.

Grigory though, had a delighted smile on his face. A couple of minutes wasn't enough for him to fill his thirst for playing around.

Walking slowly, Grigory savored the man's struggling expression.

"Hyahahahahah... yes struggle more... show weakness and despair. That is what makes you human so interesting!"

"Youu.. wh-at have you done to me! Where have you brought me to?"

Gritting her teeth, the man glared at Grigory, who was only a few steps away from him.

The situation has been reversed once again.

The man who previously thought he was the hunter was actually just a small prey under Grigory's eyes.

"My... so disrespectful. Haven't your elder taught you how to be polite? Hyahahahahaha"

Laughing like a maniac as he could see the man had slowly plunged into despair, Grigory's expression twisted savagely

Grabbing onto his face, Grigory was ready to play around for a bit more.

Yet, he suddenly had a change of expression when he realized something was going on outside.

" Well, change of plan. I thought keeping you here for a bit would be fun. But it seems we have another guest coming."

"What are you..?"

"Ooops, it seems like I spoke too much."

Smiling mysteriously, Grigory didn't answer the man's question and just proceeded to throw him away in the direction of the huge guillotines.

" Well, let's just say that your time is over."

"Y-ou y-ou"

Trembling, the man's expression changed a lot. He knew his life would soon be over, but never once did he expects that it would be over this fast.

His strong voice reverberated across the hall as the guillotines swung down, ending the man's life once and forever.

While all of this was happening inside the secret room of Grigory, in the real world, Cade's body which was controlled by Grigory actually strangled the man to death. And those scenes were witnessed by Luna and the others.

Time felt like it has stopped for Luna.

The man that she treated as a friend had just killed a researcher in front of her eyes. What had just happened here?

The scene was so bizarre that Luna actually did not notice the strange ogre arm that came out of the man's back.

Sigh

Startling everyone here, a loud sigh resounded across the hallway. Soon "Cade" threw the man to the ground as if he had been with the toy that was in his hand, and he paused on Aurum before looking at Luna, who was struggling with all her might.

With an annoyed look, he scratched his head and said.

"I suppose this is not the best time to see me, huh? That guy definitely would annoy me to death because of this event later."
