The Seven Deadly Child
The Alknight House
(About a month ago, the central region of the pine forest was frozen)
A group of knights consisting of five novice knights and a mid-stage D-class knight were seen fighting a spirit beast.
An elder was watching this group from a distance, this elder was the one who was escorting the group.
This group was none other than the members of the Alknight House who were doing a family hunt.
While observing the battle, the elder suddenly felt an extremely powerful mana flow emerge from a direction.
"A really strong Mana Flow! it also feels very old-fashioned, what happened?" The elder was surprised and muttered curiously.
He then quickly headed towards the center of the mana flow.
***
(The edge of the mysterious abyss)
"Adiiiikkkk….!!!! …..!!!!" Gregoric continued to shout loudly on the edge of the mysterious abyss. Tears kept coming out of both eyes.
Previously with a body full of wounds and broken legs, he took pains to force his body to crawl from its position towards the edge of the mysterious abyss.
He continued to shout until his voice was hoarse, calling out to his sister while crying as unwillingly at the edge of the mysterious abyss for over half an hour, looking extremely desperate and apprehensive.
On the other hand, Issabela, whose body condition was severely injured after a battle with the elders of the Ironhead house, when she first saw Theo fall into the abyss, her mental collapse immediately. After shouting loudly to his sister, he lost consciousness.
**
Due to the vastness of the frozen pine forest, it took about an hour for the elder who was previously aware of the strong mana flow to reach the location of the source of the flow where it was. He could see an abyss that should not have been in that location as the source of the outflow of concentrated mana.
When he first arrived at the location, the elder immediately felt very surprised by the sight presented before him.
In front of him, he could see the terrifying battle marks. The ground sticking out was crushed everywhere, accompanied by pools of blood and the remains of unformed bodies splattered.
From the condition of the battlefield, he could tell that this was a one-sided massacre. And from the remains of the torn clothes he could still see, he could tell that the remains belonged to the unit of the frozen pine forest guard Knight.
"What kind of enemy can commit this kind of heinous massacre?" The elder was horrified.
He could not help but be horrified, the fact that the minimum limit to be able to register to become a forest guard Knight unit was to be an early stage Immortal.
So, what kind of enemy could do unilateral help and turn a group of Immortal Knights into flesh collisions and leave no corpses intact?
Amidst his shock, the elder heard a soft voice, he immediately looked towards the source of the voice.
Surprised to see the condition of the battlefield when he first arrived, the elder did not realize that there was someone who was on the edge of a mysterious abyss.
Immediately he headed towards the person who was on the brink, he felt very surprised when he realized who the person who kept shouting was not clearly on the edge of the abyss.
"Second young master, what happened?" Seeing Gregoric's extremely apprehensive condition he immediately wiped it, helping him sit down to ask what had happened.
"Sister, sister, sister!"
But Gregoric did not give any reaction, only continued to murmur indistinctly. The longer the more fluid, until finally losing consciousness.
The moment after Gregoric lost consciousness, the ground began to tremble violently, the mysterious abyss began to close back.
The elder who realized this, immediately brought the already unconscious Gregoric away from the brink.
After a while, with a loud tremor, the mysterious abyss finally closed completely.
After making sure Gregoric had only fainted and could recover after proper treatment within a few days, the Elder who still did not fully understand what had happened immediately checked around the location of the mysterious abyss' former appearance. He hopes to find someone else who still survives.
When examining the surroundings, he was very surprised to find the lifeless body of their fifth house elder, the killing of the fifth elder was no trivial matter, he was one of the pillars of the house guard.
Not far from the location of the fifth elder's body, he found Issabela lying completely unconscious, her condition was worse than Gregoric's, had to get immediate treatment.
Seeing the condition, the panicked and worried elder immediately lit a light beacon to call for help.
Soon a group of Knights conducting family hunts around the location came one by one, how many elders also began to arrive.
Previously they also felt the flow of concentrated mana and immediately ran towards which source to find out what happened, but because of different locations and further away, they came more slowly.
All of the elders and the newly arrived group were shocked by the sight they saw. Their shock did not last long after the first elder ordered the evacuation of Issabela and Gregoric for immediate treatment.
The newly arrived group of elders got a brief explanation from the elder who arrived the first time. They discussed for a moment before deciding to divide the group, the group that escorted the evacuation of Issabela and Gregoric and reported what happened to the lord. While the other group did a sweep to check the surrounding area.
***
(House Alknight main hall)
The incident that occurred inside the frozen pine forest made this year's family hunting event end sooner.
Currently several elders were gathered in the main hall.
"Where are the other elders? didn't I give the order for all the elders to gather in the main hall?"
"And why hasn't the second sister arrived yet?"
Lord Arduric whose mood was bad because of the condition of his two children was seriously injured and Theo who was still unaccountable, immediately snapped at the elders before him.
"Sir, please calm yourself, I know you're worried, but this situation must be faced with a cold head." Bosweric tried to calm his brother down.
After a moment of silence, hurried footsteps entered the main hall, a servant assigned to pick up the second elder in his residence immediately knelt before the lord.
"My master, the second elder could not be found anywhere, he suddenly disappeared with his wife and two children, the servants in his residence also no one knows where the second elder went."
Hearing this, everyone in the main hall felt puzzled.
Before the confusion lasted for too long, another footsteps entered the room hurriedly.
"My master, the second young master is awake, he wants to see you soon." Another servant gave a report after kneeling before the Arduric lord.
Lord Arduric immediately stood up, walking with wide strides out of the main hall, without saying anything, towards the room of his second son.
On the other hand, after giving the order for all the elders not to leave the main hall, Bosweric immediately followed his brother.

"Yahhh..!!! quickly save sister, she fell, she fell!"
Gregoric immediately cried out in panic when he saw the figure of his father.
"My son, calm yourself! calm yourself!" seeing the condition of his son, Lord Arduric became very worried.
"Gregoric, calm yourself! tell me slowly what really happened!" Bosweric who had also entered the room immediately calmed his nephew.
"No dad, no! how can I calm down? hurry up and save sister! that chasm, he fell into that abyss!" Gregoric still could not calm down.
Looking at his son who still could not calm down, and in a blanket of worry that increasingly became after hearing the piece-piece information muttered by Gregoric, who was still in the air, Lord Arduric who from the beginning was already feeling frustrated became panicked and immediately ignited emotions.
"REG..!!! CALM YOURSELF…!!!!! EXPLAIN IT CORRECTLY…!!!!"
Lord Arduric shouted loudly to the gregoric and inadvertently his aura as a Heaven stage General seeped out.
Gregoric and Bosweric who were in the room immediately felt depressed.
"YOU MUST CALM YOURSELF! DON'T EVER YELL AT YOUR SON..!!!"
A female voice snapping no less loudly rang out from outside the room, accompanied by an aura that was no less powerful as well immediately suppressed the aura belonging to the Arduric Lord.
Upon hearing the voice, Lord Arduric immediately regained his senses and began to withdraw his aura. Moments later Madam Alena walked into the room.
"Sister-in-law!" Bosweric immediately greeted Madam Alena, grateful that her sister-in-law had come at the right time.
Madam Alena was previously in Issabela's room, as Issabela was more severely injured than Gregoric and needed more intensive care. When he heard that his second child was awake, he immediately headed to the room of his second child to check his condition. Just getting in front of the room, she suddenly heard the loud snapping sound of her husband accompanied by the leaking of a strong aura.
Madam Alena entered the room. She gave a brief nod to Bosweric, before glaring at her husband.
His face had only turned more refined when he reached the side of his son's bed, looking at his son with an affectionate look.
"My son, tell my mother exactly what happened!" Madam Alena asked subtly and lovingly while caressing Gregoric face.
After seeing his mother, Gregoric could only be a little calmer and immediately told him everything that had happened.
**
Braakkkkkk….!!!!!!
After hearing the entirety of the events that had happened from Gregoric, the emotionless Lord Arduric immediately shattered the table that was next to him.
"Ivanov..!! whyaaa????" Mumbled Lord Arduric while gritting his teeth hard. His aura started to leak once again due to emotions.
"Sister, calm yourself down…!!!!" Bosweric snapped when he saw his brother begin to leak his aura again.
"How can I calm down? this is Ivanovic we're talking about..!!!" Jerk Arduric flip.
"I'm your brother too! I'm just as surprised as you are! but we have to calm down first to think about the next step..!" Bosweric snapped again at his brother's attitude.
"You two get out of here..!!!!" Madam Alena said in a heavy voice while staring intently at Lord Arduric and Bosweric.
He felt annoyed to see these two brothers yelling at each other in front of Gregoric who had just awakened.
After the two of them came out of the room, Madam Alena looked at Gregoric with a loving look.
"Don't worry, rest well, we'll put all we can into finding your sister, and make all those responsible for everything that happens pay the price!" Madam Alena tried to calm Gregoric back.
***
When Madam Alena came out of Gregoric's room, not far outside the room she could see Lord Arduric and Bosweric waiting in silence.
"My husband, you must be firm this time! this is too much!" Madam Alena immediately opened the conversation.
"Right brother, I have advised you several times to crack down on the group of elders, only that I never step in, big brother Ivanovic who is behind all this."
Lord Arduric immediately began to leak his aura again when he heard the name of his younger brother Ivanovic mentioned, he was very angry.
That very night, Lord Arduric orders the entire House of Alknight to hunt down Ivanovic and all the elders he worked with, establishing them as the most wanted fugitives by Alknight's house.
This order soon caused great turmoil within the internal House of Alknight.
