For hunting prey, the twins Laura Malfist and Sara Malfist, strengthened their bodies using verbal and martial thaumaturgy. They had also undergone martial training as warrior slaves, so this was nothing for them.

Each time their curved swords gleamed in the light, heads, and arms flew through the air. Screams of pain rose from the beasts disguised as humans as their red blood painted the stone floor. The corpses began to pile on the stone floor.

It began with two bodies and two more in a few seconds. Every time the twins moved and swung their swords, more bodies appeared. The beasts fought earnestly, yet they were not a match for the twins. Even if they landed a hit, the twins would simply cut through it. The beasts couldn’t fight or even protect themselves. This situation resembled how the beasts had ridiculed the young man and his wife, where overwhelmingly stronger people committed violence. The difference was that the twins did not even have an inch of intention to humiliate them. Their only intention was to end their lives.

“What the hell are you all doing?! Fight back! I’ll pay you however much you want, just kill them!” yelled Mario, his face pale white.

Mario had taken many lives before but had always done so from a safe distance. As a noble, Viscount Romaine’s knights protected him. Because he had only ever taken lives from a superior position, he now trembled with fear for his well-being as he faced this genuine display of violence.

He’s probably never once thought someone would kill him, noted Ryoma.

Although Mario Romaine had caused so much chaos himself, he had never felt danger or a sense of guilt. Perhaps he appeared like an optimist, when in reality he was missing something vital mentally. From his point of view, the cries of the young man and his wife suffering severe wounds meant nothing to him. Thus, he felt no guilt. After all, he was next in line as head of the House Romaine. The young man and his wife were mere civilians who lived in the town, and most nobles saw the common folk like cattle who they collected taxes from. In other words, nobles had a sense of power over life and death, meaning they couldn’t imagine said livestock defying them—if so, they would simply scold them.

Not that I can even understand such a nauseating thought.

Even in modern society, livestock being happy and having privileges was a recent development. Until then, humans exploited livestock, and few complained about their better treatment. As humans could not live without taking other lives, one might have said that it would be strange for humans to treat livestock like pets, giving them love and becoming attached. Of course, there were varying views on this. There was no reason to beat them to death with sticks or needlessly abuse them. One would tolerate this, nor allow it based on modern values.

That said, it was somewhat understandable that this world differed in that the high-class aristocrats had this horrible view, whether one agreed.
