Chapter 57 - Teleportation Magic Scroll (2/2)
Facing the encirclement of over twenty warriors and mages ....although they were not very powerful mages and warriors and not among the top figures in the Egul continent, it was after all twenty of them fighting together, yet he was able to kill them as though they were a bunch of babies without even having the chance to strike back. All of these proves that this 4th imperial prince wasn't as simple as he seemed. Everything about him was weird and he was not even sure that he was using his full strength when he killed them.
Shad slowly walked into the living room and sat in one of the empty sofas. he took one fruit from the fruit basket that was on top of a small table and started to eat it as though he was in his own house.
” Hegel, you are a smart young man so I don't have to get into all kinda interrogation and detail. So the question is, are you willing to come with me willingly or do you want me to bring your corpse to your father.” Shad was very relaxed as he was saying that as if the other ten men in the room were just some clay doll. He was only looking at the 2nd prince with his cold gaze.
” Damm, that fruit is pretty good, it reminded of fruit that I used to eat back in the day known as apple.” As he was saying that, he took out another one from the basket.
The fruit really looked like an apple but it was bigger and yellow but it tasted almost the same.
Seeing how carefree the 4th imperial prince was, Hegel knew that his fate had been sealed and not even his father or mother would be able to save him. The power of the Djage Imperial family wasn't something that this puny kingdom could withstand.
He knew that he had messed up and there was no way he could stay in the Mulan kingdom anymore. This failure might even jeopardize what his cousin the 3rd prince of the Nicholas Empire including his mother had built all these years. However, there's no way he could undo this failure, and now he had only one choice left.
If it were his big brother the crown prince that he had failed to assassinate. it wouldn't have been a problem even if he was caught by his brother because he couldn't just kill him. He would have to report it to his father and his father will decide what to do with him, but it wasn't the case tonight.
The person he was trying to kill was the 4th imperial prince of the Djage Empire, one of the four overlords of the Egul continent. Even though he was a prince just like him, but his status meant nothing in his eyes, not even his father's. They were both princes, yet in front of the 4th imperial prince, he was no different than a commoner.
” I guess you won this round, but don't assume it's over. It is just the beginning.”
Hegel knew that there was no need to plead or try to play innocent. The 4th prince had already caught him and there was nothing he could say or do that could prove he was innocent.
” Oh! you are speaking as though you will have a second chance, or leave this place alive,” Answered Shad as he shifted his cold gaze to Hegel.
As soon as their eyes met, Hegel felt like there was an electric current running down his back. Even his legs were shaking a little as he felt like a frog paralyzed by the stare of a snake.
After using his lightning power to fight against the people earlier, it hasn't completely dissipated yet from his body. There was this zig-zag of lightning that kept and appearing and disappearing within Shad's eyes which made him look more terrifying in the second prince's eyes.
” Hehehehe, of course, there will be a second chance, and I will surely leave this place alive. Next time we meet will be your doom.”
As he said that he took out a scroll within his pocket and tore it apart. The scroll gave off a bright light which enveloped Hegel. His movement was so fast that Shad did not have any chances to react.
Once the light had dissipated, Hegel was nowhere to be seen.
” Teleportation magic scroll,” Shad said with a look of surprise in his face.
He was clearly aware of this kinda scroll but he never imagined that this puny prince possessed such an extremely valuable magic scroll.
This thing was so rare that his family only possess two of them. They had three but his great-grandfather had used one when he was exploring the Great Tower after he had encountered a real life and death situation.
As long as a person uses this magic scroll, this person could travel instantly to any place within three hundred kilometers. This magic scroll wasn't something one could even purchase even if wanted to, Yet Hegel had one of them. It seemed like Hegel wasn't as simple as he seemed.
The power of the scroll was amazing. In fact, the most terrifying thing about this scroll was the instant powerful effect. Even a powerful 9th class spatial mage would need some time to chant such a powerful magic spell. But, it wasn't easy to find one. A 9th class mage was already considered as demi-god level existence in the Egul continent. A small kingdom could even become a powerful nation with just a 9th class mage as its protector.
” Good grief, it seemed like I greatly underestimated this Hegel. well, no matter, there will always be a next time.”
” Now, what I should do with you people,” He said as he shifted his gaze upon the other men that were within the living room. At this moment, all of them were sweating excessively as though the living room had turned into a Sauna. They were like a bunch of pigs in a slaughterhouse waiting for their inevitable fate.
