The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess
chapter-322

'Was all of this my fault?'

'Was this because I didn't handle the matter carefully and my negligence led to the death of many people.'

'If only...If only I knew about it, I wouldn't have cut down the dimension hastily.'

He had destroyed the dimension but forgot to put the mass energy of darkness away which poured out of the place crazily.

"You...It's all your fault."

Alex, who was contemplating various things, suddenly opened his eyes and found himself standing in between thousands of people.

All of them looked like a zombie with half of their bodies covered in darkness and they extended their hands at him.

"You are a sinner."

"You killed us indirectly."

"My child died because of you. You took away my family, you took away my everything."

"Pay for your sin, you bloody maniac."

Thousands of hands extended and pulled Alex down trying to sink him into the bottom of darkness along with them.

Alex felt cold sweat trickling down from his forehead as he looked at the mass of people.

"I...I am sorry."

Alex choked a little but he poured out his words with a sincere expression.

Alex smiled a little and spoke, "I know my apology couldn't make you alive nor is it enough for you to forgive me for the crime which I had committed due to my negligence."

"Even if I knew this all is an illusion, I wanted you all to know that I carry this guilt for you and I will one day take revenge on your behalf."

As soon as Alex's words fell, the illusion shattered and vanished away leaving behind the plaza.

Alex opened his eyes with a frown and shouted"Morderk, to your left at 90 degrees there is a monster."

Morderk's body acted as if it was a robot that reacted instantly and pulled out his sword.

He followed the word and turned to the left, slashing his sword.

SHIING!

Like torn paper, a shadow was split into two halves and fell on the ground which slowly started to vanish.

"Regroup!" Alex's loud words reverberated all around and the Knights that were nearby reacted in an instant and covered Alex from all around.

Falling into illusion, Alex finally realised how vulnerable their situation was now.

Luckily, the dream weaver inferred Alex was a potential threat more than others and cast it on Alex.

If it was anyone other than Alex, the situation might have become quite bad.

"Hey, you.Above your head."

Alex's commands hadn't even finished when a piece of black rag-like substance fell.

These things were shadow summons that Alex had encountered in the pocket world so there might be a monster or creature of darkness nearby and Alex was trying to find the real culprit.

These things were quite tricky to deal with and even Alex found it hard to spot them in his first encounter. There was no mana in them, so one couldn't sense them and had to rely on the faint sound of noises.

Alex directed them and they acted according to his orders as swiftly as possible.

Everything was going fine until when a Knight seemed to lose his composure and screamed with bloodshot eyes.

"I will kill you."

With a scream, he ran towards Alex madly wanting to stab his chest.

Alex reacted immediately but Morderk was already on the tail and kicking his back, he pinned the knight on the ground and heat his head trying to get him out of the hallucinations.

Alex asked the others to pay attention.

The previous attack on the man gave him a hint of the position of the enemy and he asked his soldiers to slowly spade towards the side alleyway while defending against the shadow summons.

The Knights who were moving forward slowly stopped in their tracks as they saw a huge dark haze spreading all around which made them uncomfortable.

Just standing near it gave them chills.

"Your Majesty!" They looked at Alex wondering what to do.

Alex couldn't use the power of light to clear them away so he had come prepared with another thing.

From the pouch hung on his waist, he took out a small bottle containing crystal clear water.

It was the holy water blessed by Athena. He doesn't know whether this would suffice or not.

Alex sprinkled some drips of water and soon it saw the effect.

Swoosh!Swoosh!

As if they had met their nemesis, the deep dark fumes were shaken away leaving behind a dried hardened mass of black moss on the floor which slowly started to burn and wither.

With the holy water, they cleared the mist, blocking them from moving inside the place. Alex asked everyone to brace themselves as the enemy might start attacking them due to being cornered.

Alex reached towards the corner of a building which previously used to be an inn.

The Knights positioned themselves around the building waiting for Alex's order.

Alex nodded and waved his hand.

BOOM!

The Knights directly went in breaking through the walls and entered inside at once.

Swish!Swish!

A Black ghost-like figure attacked them but they were already prepared for it and took it down easily.

Morderk made his way to the top from where he sensed the presence of the monster.

He took the steps to the west corner of the house but he had climbed half of the stairs when a piercing scream from the banshee filled the air.

"Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The high pitch scream seemed to tear their eardrums and make them crazy.

Some Knights under the effect of the scream started to hallucinate.

Alex who was just at the door frowned due to the sudden scream and a terrible headache assaulted him immediately.

"Damn! Of all the monsters, it had to be one with a sound attack that could cause hallucinations."

Morderk tried to close his ear. He started to remember many unpleasant events but he bit his lips to shake away those thoughts and holding his sword tightly, he poured all of his mana.
