Chapter 16: Attack!
Closing the door, he walked to the next residence and knocked on the door.
Not long after, a soldier opened the door. The man seemed to be training, so his expression didn't look good. However, when he saw it was Arohan, he immediately calmed down.
The rumors about Arohan being highly favored by the captain had already spread across the entire barracks, so no one wanted to offend him.
"Do you need my help with anything?" Frekric asked.
Arohan had just settled into his new residence that day, so he must have needed help with something if he came to him.
Arohan immediately nodded and asked about the locations of the happening streets and their direction.
Frekric was surprised to hear that, but he still answered honestly. Arohan's eyes lit up when he heard that there were several entertainment streets in the city.
Frekric shared the direction of the nearest entertainment street, and Arohan immediately left after thanking the former.
Since he was currently living in the barracks, even the nearest entertainment street was several miles away.
Fortunately, things such as taxis existed in the city, so it took him around half an hour to reach the street.
It had been quite a time since he had tended to his sexual urges, so he excitedly walked into the street. The street was a straight road and filled with different-sized buildings.
The city's architecture looked chaotic as it wasn't a planned street. Women of different races were seen outside their respective stores, calling to the men on the street.
Looking at so many beautiful women, Arohan's lips curved upward in a smile, imagining the things he was going to do. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding appeared in his heart.
His face turned pale, and he tightly clutched his chest, causing others to look at him.
Arohan's appearance was known to a few people in the city, and fortunately, one of them was a few meters away from him. He also noticed Arohan's strange behavior and came to help him.
Arohan felt as if his heart was going to explode, so he let out a scream, unable to control himself anymore. The guy immediately came around, grabbed Arohan, and rushed toward the hospital.
Boom!
The guy hadn't carried Arohan far when suddenly an explosion rang in their ears.
Arohan forgot his chest pain at that moment and looked behind with a horrified expression. He finally knew the source of the sense of foreboding.
His eyes were trembling as the smoke coming out of the explosion wasn't grey or black but blood red.
"False lights drown beneath His shadow.
Pleasures of flesh fall silent beneath His blade.
We walk unseen, vessels of His silence.
From rot and lust, we carve His holy order.
In His name, impurity drowns in perfect darkness."
A chilling verse rang in the city, and strange symbols appeared in the sky. All the symbols were blood red, and the supernatural beings of the city could see that it was the blood.
"Ashen Pleasure Cult!"
The name rang in the hearts of many in the city since it was a famous cult that targeted brothels and prostitutes.
The Ashen Pleasure Cult worshipped Nyxavor, a powerful God, and the cult members hated anything impure, which included sex for money.
"I am fine!"
Arohan returned to normal, so he asked the man to put him down and thanked him.

"The stain has been erased!"
Olujic read with gritted teeth. It was left at the scene of the ritual.
