Chapter 18: Death Eyes
A group of five people appeared in front of them. Ayaan's smile widened, seeing the people coming out of the woods because he was itching to practice his new spell on some humans he encountered few beasts previously, but they were too weak.
In the group, he recognized two people, whom he had seen in the mansion of city lord while the other three-man were unknown to him. But Rebecca knew those three people as well.
"Darren and Errol sent you," Rebecca spoke with a calm voice.
A man walked out from the group before speaking, "Lady Rebecca, we don't have any ill intentions. We just want you to return to the city with us."
"Heh? You got lots of nerve for a lowly servant to ask me to do something I don't want." Rebecca said and looked at the man with her sharp eyes.
"Lady Rebecca, we know you are powerful, but after following for two days, it is obvious to us that you are very weak at this time." The leader of the group spoke after gathering all his courage.
Ayaan and Rebecca heard the man and immediately understood that he misunderstood the situation. The leader thought Rebecca was weak, after fighting, instead of losing her magic power.
"Are you threatening us?" Rebecca asks with a smile, which made the leader very uncomfortable, but after gathering all the courage, he spoke, "No, we are just following the order of the city leader."
"Heh? City leader? He was able to become a city leader because of me, but now when I need his help the most, he wants to arrest me, good, very good." Rebecca said with a voice full of anger, but they didn't know, it was all acting. Because at the side, Ayaan has already completed chanting of spell, and his eyes turned like two small black holes, this was the 'death eyes.' His new spell.
The eyes of the leader talking with Rebecca twitched as a sense of danger appeared in his heart. He turned towards Ayaan, and invisible dark energy entered into his eyes.
"Argh!!" a bloodcurdling scream escape from his mouth.
His whole body turned cold and fell on the ground, without any energy. But Ayaan knew he wasn't dead; his spell wasn't powerful enough to kill the leader.
After advancing by a whole level, Ayaan's innate talent, which was to see through other people's magic power, increased. Previously, as the group arrived, Ayaan already knew their magic realm, so he asked Rebbecca to buy him time for casting a spell.
The sudden development of the situation caught all of them unprepared, and their leader was heavily injured, lying on the dirt without any movement. Ayaan didn't let go to waste the element of surprise and lunged at the leader who was lying on the ground flatly.
'Boom!'
'Creak~puchi~'
Without giving a chance to anyone, he smashed the head of the man under his foot. Blood flew drowning his half leg red.
Ding: Killed a junior mage, received exp 30.
Notification resounded, but he didn't pay any attention to the announcement and turned towards faces full of terror and the vomiting group of four people.
When the group saw the brain matter of their leader, they started to puke. But how could Ayaan let go of an opportunity like this? He again activated his spell, and death energy shoots out from his eyes, which only he could see.
A poor man wasn't even able to recover from the trauma of losing his leader when invisible energy invaded his body; without letting him understand what happened, all the death-energy went towards his soul.
All the death energy covered his soul in an instance and devoured his soul before fading away.
Everything happened just in a blink, and another party member's soul left his body. As the remaining people saw everything, their hearts turned cold from fear, and their form froze.
Ayaan didn't show them any mercy after seeing tears in their eyes. After the event with his uncle, he had sworn, to never show compassion, to anyone no matter who he is. He walked languidly towards the three shivering people.
They looked at him, but as one of them opened his mouth for begging. Ayaan grabbed him by his neck.
"You are too noisy." Ayaan looked in the man's eyes before speaking, and the man's body became still when he saw in his eyes because his eyes recede death itself.
Just as he moved towards the other man, a weird smell invaded the sharp nose of heaven devour dog.
"Fuck!"
Ayaan cursed when he realized what happened. The lower part of the man was already wet, and as Ayaan's eyes fell on his disgusting shivering self, even more anger appeared.
"You are the most talented people who were sent by Darren? Pathetic!" Ayaan spoke with a disdainful voice, and the man lowered his head in shame.
His anger was still on his face visible when the same smell again appeared. Ayaan turned towards another man who was standing at the side with his drowned clothes. Just as Ayaan's gaze fell on the man, his soul left his body. And the last one also wasn't spared and died the same pathetic death as his companion.
After cleaning the mess, he turned towards Rebecca, who was also looking at him with her deep eyes. 'I am dead,' he thought and didn't know what to do.
"Who are you?" It was her first question.
"I don't remember, didn't I tell you I lost my memories?" Ayaan replied with an innocent expression, but who was Rebecca? She wasn't a naive girl who could deceive this easily.
"Don't even think me as a naive girl who will buy such a meager excuse." she snarled, "If you don't remember anything, how can you cast a spell this seamlessly. Why there was no emotion when you kill those people and most important thing, you have such a powerful spell and don't even try to fool me by saying that you master such an O.P spell within these two days."
"But I am telling the truth, I learn it within these two…."
"Shhh, don't even try to lie to me, fraud!" Rebecca shouted when he only completed only half of his sentence.
"Listen to me…"
"What's there to talk about even my whity…." suddenly, she stopped and looked at the Ayaan withy suspicious eyes before continuing, "Where is my Whity, you imposter!!?"
"Heh?" Ayaan looked at her in confusion but suddenly remembered that she was talking about him. 'Fuck! Is she suspecting me as the kidnapper of her dog or something?' He wondered.
"Who are you? One thing is certain that is, you didn't lose your memories." Rebecca spoke with her serious voice without taking her sharp eyes from his face.
Ayaan looked at her suspicious face and knew he didn't have any choice. Anyways, she was in a weak state if she still insists on picking a fight with him, he just spanks her round butt, hehe. As the trail of his thoughts reached here, he looked at her perk butt from the corner of his eyes, which didn't go unnoticed.
"Wh-what are you looking at, pervert!?" she asked with an embarrassed expression.
Ayaan immediately looked at her face and changed the topic, "I was looking at your beautiful face; only blind would not appreciate beauty like you."
"You are improving, kid." Birdy's voice chimed and praised his flirting skill. When Ayaan heard her, he didn't know if he should laugh or cry.
As he turned towards her, Rebecca's expression became emotionless before speaking, "That's enough comedy. Now, time for identity revealing."
A sigh escaped from his mouth when he saw the stern expression of Rebecca.
