Chapter 105: Instant death


    The next day''s dawn,


    "Clean the bodies and erase the traces."


    Akaysh ordered cleaning his bloodied sword with his hand and opposite him was the severed head of Richardo.


    The manor was in a mess. Wholly bloodied and painted with the red taint and filled with a pile of corpses.


    It seems the assassination unit did a good job in doing the deed.


    "I better finish off that ck revolutionary."


    Akaysh muttered inwardly gazing at Nix''s n house standing on the rooftop of Richardo''s manor where few clouds of smoke wereing out.


    ***


    "Everyone! Attention here!"


    Nix said pping his hand standing in the center of the building trying to get attention.


    As everyone drifted their attention towards him he began speaking.


    "If you all have unfinished business, finish it within this week. We are leaving the city."


    "But, Mr.Nix...This is sudden how can you expect us to leave all of a sudden"


    It was Hyun Dae Seok. The one guy who barely shares his opinion or evenes up to talk.


    "I agree with your statement man, But do you think we''ll be of any good if we stay here? There are plenty of problems we''d have to face if we stay here. I guess you can understand."


    "I see... "


    "Anyone have an objection?" He asked again in a loud voice.


    "No!"


    "Alright."


    Nix announced and left for his room unraveling a map he bought from the library which was ced on the desk. He bought it the previous day after conversing with Astaroth.


    He gained interest in a small city named Theemai. A city that actually doesn''t have a ruling n and no rules in its entirety one that''s perfectlywless. One scummy hell of a ce that''s close to one of the threebyrinths of Chaos maind.


    A ce that''s hard to grow as a n and a ce where thefts and murders happen often in the fucking daylight. A ce where both regrs and ouws go in and out regardless of their differences. There was no particr reason why it wasn''t captured by any side. There was a mixture of people merged into the city which was hard to segregate.


    ''Three cities owned by ouws, Three under royal dynasties, and two cities under regrs... One neutral city huh? Chaos maind is fucking huge...''


    He muttered circling the map with his marker and dropped it.


    After that, he began to pack things up and readied himself to leave. Since he''d need equipment for traveling and training inbyrinth he bought a few things prior to the announcement.


    "Lord Nix there are few people here to see you!"


    Yumeko said, knocking on his door.


    "Sure, did you ask who it is?"


    Nix asked.


    "He didn''t say anything, he is just waiting in the hall."


    "I see..."


    When he went to the hall all he could find were few unfamiliar faces. Two men in a ck assassin attire and a man with grey eyes.


    [Private ability~Truth eye activated]


    [Information of the target cannot be obtained due to the low rank.]


    ''What?''


    He mumbled in shock and stared at the grey-eyed man withplexion.


    "Mr.Nix, or should I call you the ck revolutionary?" The grey-eyed man asked coldly.


    "It''s Nix and I guess you''ve mistaken me for someone else."


    "I assume you are trying to deny the fact that you are The ck revolutionary?"


    "May I know who you are?" Nix asked, taking his seat.


    "It is Akaysh, a Feran knight. I am assigned to kill you."


    Akaysh said indifferently after sipping his coffee served by the maid.


    Everyone in the hall dropped their jaws, some people even pulled out their weapons except Nix.


    Nix tried to not show tension. He couldn''t read Akaysh''s potential and emotions either. But he understood the man opposite him is a big threat to his life.


    "I see... What should I do now? start fighting here?" Nix asked nonchntly.


    "It''d be better if you couldply with us. Heard your n already went through a lot of problemsst night... After all, I can take you down this instant but, you''d want to maintain dignity in front of your n members."


    "Master Nix is strong! Tarok will kill you all!" Tarok dered.


    "That''s a nice orc you got there." He said emanating severe pressure making the people in the hall go dumbstruck.


    As soon as they tried to rush towards him. He immediately ced his sword on Tarok''s neck making them stand in a Daze.


    "Mr.Akaysh, This building is beyond resurrection can you please restrain yourself from causing amotion. I''llply with you. We can fight outdoor."


    Nix said and rose from his ce shape-shifting his chain into a sword.


    "Hey, fuckers get the fuck out of here! Who do you all think you are to threaten us!" Cinzia scowled at the team and Akaysh.


    "Come on Cinzia seriously? I think it''s better to mind my business by myself."


    Nix said, staring at her.


    Before he could notice all the men apanied by Akaysh drew their weapons.


    "You are here for killing me right? Why would you waste your time on my members?"


    Nix said and walked out of his n house and Daisy, Cam, Gunther, Cinzia, and few other members followed him behind the group that came to assassinate him.


    Soon, they all entered an abandoned building.


    "I repeat this is none of your business..."


    Nix said, looking at Cinzia and unsheathed his dagger.


    {Oh! You are into action again? Haha, It seems you cannot take some rest.}


    ''Seriously? with all due respect can you shut up?''


    {Ah! So rude!}


    Soon his dagger started to emanate a Darklight around it and the dagger swiftly wholly covered in darkness.


    Akaysh just stood in his ce and coldly stared at Nix. His assassin unit just stood in their ce observing the fight.


    "I don''t have a choice but to activate Berserk havoc." He muttered.


    From the beginning of his meeting with Akaysh. He felt like something was off and he was into one hell of a mess yet, he thought he could at least have a chance to kill him if he were to use Astaroth along with berserk. For some reason, he remembered his fight with Feroz khan.


    Akaysh waited for Nix to make his moves first instead of taking offense.


    [Doom prediction vision activated]


    [Berserk Havoc activated]


    Nix rushed towards him and began to brandish his sword. As soon as Nix used sh Akaysh just moved his foot and clutched his neck with his bare hands and his hand began to release a strange force.


    {Hah, you should have learned to attain VF}


    "Fuck it I didn''t get the chance to train as much as I did during that eight months!"


    Nix mumbled and gashed his dagger through the air since Akaysh dodged it again. Nix already used Berserk three times and he was still pushing himself and barely had enough sleep thest few days and his moves were sloppypared to Akaysh.


    He released a man-sized typhoon which was rendered useless as Akaysh split into two with his bare hands. Nix didn''t lose hope andshed his chain making the waves of me speed towards him which he dodged at ease.


    Just as Nix parried and swung his sword towards Akaysh''s neck he gave a cold smile and grabbed Nix''s sword and red at him.


    In an instant, his ming sword was cooled down. Nix drew his dagger to his neck and he instantly blocked it with his other hand.


    "How much different do we actually have? Doom prediction couldn''t even predict his moves?"


    Nix muttered in Daze as he stabbed Nix''s neck with his own sword abruptly.


    "Kuekk! Argh!"


    Nix squealed as the sword pierced through his neck spurting blood and went beyond the back of his neck and fell to the ground.


    Doom prediction was indeed rendered useless since he could find several paths and the probability of attacks he couldn''t choose one. Even if he did he found the next move where he was killed. In the end, there was no way for him to fight back and the cause was hiscking skills.


    His n member''s jaws dropped in an instant. They stood in their ce as though they were struck by lightning. No matter what. They thought Nix could be a bigshot, No! He was not a big protagonist even in their stories and it seems like he is just a random guy just like them.


    ''In an instant... That''s it? I am dead just like this... ''


    He thought, feeling the excruciating pain and frustration.


    He thought he became at least a bit influential and powerful but that showed his naivety. No matter what he was extremely weak considering the people that walk around. There is always someone beyond the other one.


    "Nix!"


    Cinzia yelled and rushed towards him.


    Swiftly his mind began to repeat every single incident he went through. From getting banished to getting killed at this moment. He was reminded of his eight months of training, Getting branded by Reba, Getting humiliated in the forest... He was reminded of every hardship he went through as his vision began to blur.


    "I wanted to kill that fucking bastard. Was my route wrong? I thought I had fifteen chances... Is this it? I cannot endure this mental and physical pain! Why is this so slow?"


    He thought unable to endure the pain.


    Akaysh stared at Nix for a few seconds and left the ce with his subordinates.


    When he blinked his eyes a few seconds he found a few of his n members staring down at him with remorse and in the distance, he saw the silhouette of Akaysh and his subordinates.


    He felt like his eyelids were heavy and found his throat sore and his body weak.


    "Fuck!"


    Cinzia smacked her head and pulled his sword from his neck. Swiftly the scimitar reverted back to normal.


    ''I will take revenge for you..."


    She muttered.


    Cinzia was a cold woman as such being moved by his death was something out of her character. It was not like she was not feeling sad or remorseful. She had seen deaths of people close to her a lot as such. She had despaired a lot. It is just that she knew how to control herself from being blinded by emotions.


    As she pulled the sword Nix looked into her eyes with regret and frustration. He didn''t do anything to deserve any of the things that happened to him. As much as he wanted to die quickly unable to endure the pain he wanted to live.


    "Fucking die fast!"


    He mumbled and bit his tongue to death.


    "Hah, looks like this is all he is worthy." Gunther sighed and began removing Nix''s armor and gauntlets.


    ''Fucker!''


    Nix muttered and abruptly his vision cked out. The others that watched the scene couldn''t understand why this happened or how he got himself to that state so quickly.


    "Pick the body!"


    Cinzia ordered and wiped her teardrop that slightly dripped from her eyes.


    Dae Seok and Gunther picked his body and walked towards the n house. Cam was still stunned. She didn''t expect him to die that quickly.
