24 Attack. (2/2)
Some people present there had created small fireballs, which slightly illuminated the spacious hall.
”Who sent you? Ah, who am I even asking? It is that bastard, Oliver, isn't it!?”- The Viscount thought that Count Oliver was the one who sent the assassins.
”I will tell you if you answer my question.”- Ozul wanted to know if the Viscount was the perpetrator behind Raven's village massacre.
There were only two people who could order such a thing; the Count or the Viscount. No-one other than these two had the authority or the means to accomplish such a thing.
”Huh?! Of course, I did it. Those idiots refused to hand over the new Ochite gemstone mine. So, I removed them out of my way.”- The Viscount admitted the act.
Ozul saw Raven's whole body twitch for a second before she calmed down.
The Ochite mentioned above was a gemstone used in jewelry. When they found the mine, it came under the influence of the village. The Viscount razed the village to obtain the Ochite mine.
Getting his answer, Ozul decided to ask the final question,
”So, does your son knows where the treasury is?”- Ozul asked.
”HUH? Of course, he knows!! He i...”- The Viscount could not finish his words when all the people present began to fall on the ground.
”Then, I shall not kill him.”- Ozul plainly said as he controlled all the needles hidden in the shadows behind everyone's necks.
In just a few seconds, everyone was dead except for the Viscount and his son.
”Y-YOU!!! I will not forgive you for this!! Just see how I will torture you until you beg for the Death!”- The Viscount was enraged as all his trusted people died in the blink of an eye!
”I do not want your forgiveness.”- Ozul said while he readied himself for the battle.
The Viscount was a Water Mage; all of his Spells were water-based. He started by creating a water shield around him.
The Viscount did not dare underestimate Ozul as he could not even feel Mana from him! Yet, he had killed so many people in mere seconds!
Ozul clicked his tongue when he noticed that his opponent was not as arrogant as he thought him to be.
'It could get tricky.'- Ozul wanted the Viscount to drop his guard around him, but contrary to his expectations, not everyone was an idiot.
Ozul sent several blades made out of Ball of Purity towards the Viscount. But before they could even reach him, they were shot down by water bullets.
The Viscount then generated sharp water spikes to attack Ozul. Ozul mostly evaded those spikes with his superior physique.
Ozul merged all the blades to create a sizeable cone-shaped drill that rotated at high-speed and lunged towards the Viscount.
The Viscount realized that this attack could be fatal. So, he strengthened his defenses and created a giant ball of water to collide with the drill.
The Viscount managed to prevent the attack; just as he was gasping for breath, the drill turned into hundreds of thin-sharp needles and shot towards him.
He did not have time to cast another spell due to the speed of the needles. The Viscount could only put his hopes into the water shield.
Unfortunately for Ozul, the Viscount was also a Rank-4 Fighter. Now, Under normal circumstances, it did not matter for Ozul's needles, but the water shield reduced the force of the attack by a large margin. This caused the needles not to be able to penetrate the Viscount's skin.
The Viscount sighed in relief, but his expression turned furious after realizing how close he was to the Death's door.
He prepared to cast another spell, but just then,
Ozul turned all the needles near the Viscount into black smoke and willed it to enter into his body through his orifices!
The Viscount could only shake in fear when the black smoke entered his body.
Ozul turned the smoke into needles inside the Viscount and destroyed all of the Viscounts' organs.
The Viscount died writhing in pain on the floor.
”I did not want to taint the Ball of Purity with your insides, but you forced my hand.”- Ozul's voice sounded out in the now serene hall.
