Magic Spell: Witch's Howl

It used spiritual power to give a target extreme pain that originated from the soul. The greater the difference in spiritual power between the two, the stronger the effect.

Without a doubt, Davis's spiritual power was countless times stronger than the two guards. It meant that they would enjoy a painful torture that was worse than death.

The shrill cries of pain reverberated throughout the sky above the entire Bourne Town.

Although the villagers did not dare to come out to check, they could still hear the two guards' voices and felt incredibly avenged by it.

One could tell how miserable those two guys were simply by listening to their voices alone. It really was karma.

After a full few minutes, the shrill cries began to slowly die down.

The two guards who helped the nobles bully the civilians died from the pain.

Davis looked at the two bodies on the ground indifferently.

Twisted, painful, hideous, regretful... All kinds of expressions froze on their lifeless faces.

However, he still felt that these two guys died too easily.

There were more than twenty innocent villagers in the Bourne Town who were forced to die by these people.

The elderly, children, and women among them could not escape the clutches of these people.

Although the current Davis had the identity of a demon, he was still a human in his previous life. The so-called demon was just another layer added to his identity.

Moreover, by doing so, he could further consolidate his identity as an angel.

After all, his demon bloodline could be exposed at any time in the city of angels.

...

Not far from them was the carriage which those two dead men used to transport supplies.

Davis took all the money bags from the carriage and put them on himself.

After that, every time he went to a house, the people who opened the door were very active and warm to him.

However, what Davis remembered the most was the light and gratitude in their eyes when they looked at him.

"Don't worry, Sir. We will keep your secret. We guarantee with our lives that we will not tell anyone about what happened tonight," an old man whispered to Davis.

The villagers also knew what the mayor of Bourne Town represented.

They knew very well that this handsome young man had actually done a very suicidal thing.

Doing good deeds should have good returns. The villagers were grateful for Davis's righteous deeds, so they would do their best to protect him.

However, Davis just smiled and did not say anything.

To put it bluntly, strength was respected. As long as his strength surpassed that of the mayor and the others, they would not rat him out.

He would not meddle in other people's affairs if he did not have such strength.

...

[System, I want to check in at Bourne Town.]

[Ding! You have successfully checked in. Congratulations, Host! You have obtained: 'Doppelganger Mask'!]

[Notification: Doppelganger Mask is a puppet created by a demon using the body of a fallen cherub. It can summon a doppelganger that is exactly the same as the real body.]

Davis's eyes lit up.

In this way, he would have many choices when dealing with this matter.

The next day, at noon.

Davis finally ended his questioning.

However, there was still no trace of the demonic aura.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered about the mayor and his men capturing the civilians.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. As the supreme ruler of the town, why did the mayor have to amass wealth everywhere and even capture all the people?

He felt that it was necessary for him to go to the mayor's mansion to see what was going on.

But before he went to the mayor's mansion, he still had to go to the place where the demons appeared. There might be some clues there.

...

The extremely luxurious mayor's mansion.

As the supreme ruler of this town, the resources that Mayor Horn enjoyed were far from what the commoners could compare to.

The size and scale of this mansion was more than five times larger than an ordinary noble's castle.

At that moment in the resplendent mansion, a 'young man' with a malicious appearance sat high atop a luxurious mink fur velvet chair, with two gorgeous women on his left and right.

However, there was only fear and numbness in the eyes of the two women, as well as hatred that was hidden deep within their hearts.

"Hmm? What did you say?"

A gloomy voice came out of Mayor Horn's throat, with his long and narrow eyes revealed a brutal expression. "Someone from the tax collection guards has gone missing? They haven't returned?"

"Yes, Mayor."

The guard commander placed his right arm on his chest and bowed respectfully. His voice was calm. "There are two people who went to Bourne Town's Fez Village but haven't returned yet."

"Did they run away with the money and materials? Heh, how dare they!"

"It's also possible that they were killed."

The commander of the guards said with a calm expression, "Although the value of the treasures and materials isn't cheap, I have information that can be used against all those guards that I took in and their family members are also in my control. They've received strict training too, so the probability of them running away with the treasures is very small."

Hearing the guard commander's words, Horn pushed away the two women beside him and said with a fierce look in his eyes, "GO! Find out who did it. Killing my people is a provocation to the mayor, and it's a fast lane to death. We must punish them severely!

"Ask those civilians one by one. If they don't tell us—have them being that secret to the grave!"

"Won't the church have a problem with it if we force these civilians too much? I need your warrant, Mayor."

The mayor laughed and said, "The reason those priests can study is because of my funding. How can they become priests without it? They're all my lap dogs!"

"But they represent the church after all. The power of the Church..." the commander of the guards hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better to be careful."

This kind of thing was not something that the mayor-supported priests could handle.

The mayor had offended many people on a daily basis, including other nobles.

In just a few days, this guy had already earned tens of thousands of gold coins by 'collecting taxes' and forcibly robbing civilian women.

It was only because he had his own money to clear the way and had some of the priests supporting him. Otherwise, Horn would have been beaten to death tens of thousands of times over.

"You don't have to worry about anything."

A confident smile appeared on Horn's face, he said in an indifferent tone, "Go ahead and investigate. As the commander of my guards, you can also enjoy the glory that I bring. You don't have to be polite to those commoners. Just show them the power and tyranny that I have as the mayor."

He patted his subordinate's shoulder and said, "If you do well, you can also become as young as me."

Hearing Horn's words, the commander of the guards said excitedly, "Your subordinate accepts the order."

...

From a very far distance, Davis had already smelled a deep demonic smell hidden in a place deep in the forest.

It was a stench unique to low-level demons!
