In order to suppress that madness and not forget, many soldiers often sought the soft skin and the touch of a woman, even if it meant doing so without the consent of the other person. Such was the manifestation of every living being’s survival instinct, but that didn’t matter for the person who was the target of such animalistic instinct. Claiming it as a human instinct made it feel like it was an attempt at justifying their horrific behavior. That said, Adam had also been conscripted as a soldier and had done anything to survive. He had lived for forty years yet held a dark past that he hadn’t even shared with his family. While Adam didn’t condone or agree with the actions in front of him, he understood why the beasts demonstrated such behavior and had found peace of mind. As an older man, he might have offered some words of comfort to the young man who cowered before his eyes.

However, these men are different. They’re simply pieces of shit, thought Adam.

People often said criminals had a motive to commit their crimes, which had some logic.. Those born in poverty usually carried out crimes to survive, and some were born into better circumstances and committed crimes out of choice. They were beasts with twisted mindsets, gloating about how they had willingly harmed people. All Adam could do was stare as the scene unfolded, burning into his vision.

I can’t run away... There’s no way...

There was nothing anyone could do. At this rate, the young man’s wife would be taken away and used as a plaything. Yet, no one attempted to escape. Although weak, it was their way of protesting the situation since everyone who worried for the couple all had the same feelings. They all prayed that having the gaze from so many of them, the beasts would give into shame and their morals and leave. They knew it was meaningless, but they had no other way. As if to make their prayers even more obsolete, one beast kicked the young man again.

“What’s wrong, eh?”

“You wanna protect your wife, right? You ain’t got time to be squealin’ in pain!”

A beast made the young man rise to his feet as he took another swing at the young man’s face amongst the jeering from the other beasts. But it wasn’t an empty-handed hit. The strike from the beast’s golden bracer connected with the young man’s face and sent a small white object flying from his mouth. The young man seemingly lost consciousness as he fell to his knees.

“Aah...” exclaimed the young man.

This isn’t good... They’re going to kill him, thought Adam. If they kept this up, the young man would not be long for this world. However, something would happen that would betray that thought.

“Apologies. May I pass through?” A calm voice came from behind Adam. It was a calm voice, which clashed with the sense of urgency in the air. The calmness irritated Adam, causing him to raise his voice and feel like throwing a swing at the person trying to pass through.
