Helcurt couldn't articulate his thoughts right now. It was filled with disbelief, disappointment, anger, and also excitement because the slave he had chosen was definitely the best one!
Although he would get punished because there were several first-circle mages who died in this mission, he knew that if he was able to bring Hayden and be trained as a Sword Slave, he would still be praised for his incredible find.
"Pathetic," Helcurt finally felt convinced as he kicked one of the corpses in disgust.
'First-circle incompetents. They couldn't even handle a child. This is their fault for being so weak…'
Soon, one of the second-circle Mages arrived and immediately analyzed the deaths of their companions.
"Kill Method is close-quarters. Throat slashes, and then the heart strikes. The weapon is likely the mage's own dagger that's now missing. The time of death is less than three minutes ago. He shouldn't be too far."
