As the head of Duke Raleigh rolls on the ground and his headless body falls down.It took some time for the people standing beside him to understand what had happened as the first screams resonated throughout the room in horror.
The red blood flows out of the headless body like a river. As Lizel and her group started to vomit and looked at Kai in horror and fear.
While Palma, Tasha and Dilo"s body collapsed on the ground with an expressionless face and their mind has stopped working and wondering, what had happened just now?They are not even able to scream as they are feeling like they have lost their voices.
On the other hand Kai"s right hand was trembling a little as he tried to calm down.
"Even after so many image training. I still cannot help, but feel uncomfortable about killing a fellow human being. He is the first human being I have killed, but will not be the last.The rules of the jungle apply everywhere, strong rules while weak are crushed. If I had shown kindness now, I may have to regret that in future,"thought Kai.
While Mefisto, Louie, Joseph, Jennifer, Duke Grawn, instructor Kade didn"t have such an intense reaction, it still sent chills down their spine.
How can a person who had a bright smile on his face and laughing turn into an expressionless b.l.o.o.d.y killer the next moment.
On top of that, Duke Raleigh was a Duke of Oman Empire and strongest lightning magic users in the continent. How can someone just kill him, within a blink of an eye in the presence of some of the most powerful and strongest people in the continent?
While Jennifer shouted"Kai Seft, What have you done? Why did you kill Duke Raleigh suddenly, do you know this can lead to breakdown in the diplomatic ties between the Buraford Kingdom and Oman Empire. No matter how much the Empress favors the royal family of Buraford Kingdom but still she is the ruler of the Oman Empire and will have to answer to her people. Killing a Duke of a foreign nation without any hesitation and any reasoning can lead to war. Don"t you understand it"
Duke Grawn wanted to stop her wife from shouting and not make any rushed decisions.But also was feeling complicated, he is also a Duke of Oman Empire and cannot just say to her wife to stop questioning.
A foreign nation king who had just killed a n.o.ble from his nation.But on the other hand he is well aware of the strength of his subordinates and if war happened, it will be Oman Empire who will be defeated and Empress Ersa will definitely not allow a war with Buraford Kingdom.If she makes this decision, her credibility as the ruler and loyalty towards the Empire will be questioned and can even lead to political instability and rebellion by the n.o.ble fraction to overthrow her rule.
Jai on the other hand just smiled"This is the first time he had shown this side of his, in the public. The lord of forbidden forest is not a weak hearted person, nor is kind to his enemies; especially when survival is involved.Strong devour the weak, at the same time one can only be kind if he is strong and without a doubt he is strong and will not take action until his bottom line is crossed"
Jai can only understand why Kai killed Duke Raleigh suddenly"He had malicious thoughts going on his head and was planning to find a way to get Kai killed. If Kai had allowed him to live he would have came back to bit him in the future"
"But now, the problem is what to do with this girl"thought Jai as he looked at the blanked face of Esabella.
Esabella is currently feeling a surge of emotions as the moments she had spent with Duke Raleigh, plays before her eyes and her mind is still in confusion.What had happened?Why is this happening?Why did he get killed?What did he do wrong?All these thoughts were going on her mind and after sometime she regained her consciousness and looked at Kai as the atmosphere inside the room became tense and everyone started feeling a great pressure on their body as the temperature of the room raised and ice cold killing intent surrounded every corner of the room.
Seeing this, Mefisto and Louie moved quickly to protect the princess.They are fully aware that d.u.c.h.ess Esabella has completed her reasoning and they can"t do anything to stop her.The difference between level eight magic champion and their cultivation is too great to be overcomed even if all the magic champions in the room join forces.
On the other hand, Princess Froleytia sighed and looked at Kai with a complicated expression.
She had never thought that a person could kill a Duke of a nation without any hesitation.
"Only a decisive and calm person can do it. Who had complete confidence in his ability to get out of this trouble, and to be able to kill Duke Raleigh before the eyes of everyone. His cultivation cannot be just the peak of a magic warrior stage expert"and again who was sitting on the sofa without a care.
Suddenly Froleytia had a thought in her mind that Kai is full of mystery and her curiosity to know more about him peaked.
While on the other hand Duke Grawn, Instructor Kade, Alina, Jennifer and Joseph were doing their best to protect the students and looked at d.u.c.h.ess Esabella whose whole body is covered in red chaotic flames,as drops of sweat appeared on their head and we"re trying to keep the heat away from the students who have lost consciousness due to the magic pressure released Esabella;by forming a magic barrier around them and constantly looking at Esabella and Kai.
Suddenly the expression of both the group turned into horror as the colour of the flames covering the body of Esabella turned into crimson red.
Mefisto cannot help but shout in horror at the peak of his voice"Stop this madness Esabella. Stop now, you are still too young to die in such a way, stop casting that spell not only will it not kill Kai but turn the entire mansion and everyone inside into ashes. You cannot do it, remember the oath you had taken, when you inherited the t.i.tle of Duke from your father. That you will never do anything to harm the imperial family, princess is currently here, if you use that magic spell. She will also die with everyone here.Stop Esabella, Stop this madness"
But his words does not seem to enter the mind of Esabella as she continued casting her magic with killing intent in her eyes as he looked at the murder of her lover.She is currently completely taken over by the feeling of revenge and hate for the person sitting before her as the colour of the flames become more and more crimson.
While Kai looked at her without any sense of guilt and looked at the magic spells she was casting and smiled.
"The most powerful fire magic of rank six""Crimson flames of destruction""A highly destructive spell which turns everything into ashes within the range of hundreds meters. The temperature of the flames are so high that even the iron turn into its molten state at its peak"
"But it is also a very dangerous spell for the magic users to cast and only peak magic champions are advised to use. If others use it, the backlash of the magic can kill immediately by turning the magic user into ashes. Another disadvantage is its casting time and is not suitable for the use in battle"thought Kai and looked at Esabella.
"Are you really determined to use that magic to kill me? You know, it will not only kill me but also all the innocent people inside the mansion"said Kai
But Esabella continued to cast her spell and looked at Kai with madness in her eyes and determination to die in the process of killing him as tears come out of her eyes but get evaporation immediately
"I... will.. never.. never... forgive...you..Kai...se..lf..of...you.. killed..my...de..ar..Ka..rm..on..yo..u..cold..blood..ed..mu..d.e.r. You..must..must..die..die.. even..if..I..have..to..die..in..the..process"
Seeing the casting of the spell was about to reach its end, Kai sighed."Looks like we currently cannot have a sane talk with each other. If you continue to act in such a way, I have decided I will talk with you next morning when your surging emotions calm down"said Kai in a casual manner.
Hearing Kai words and his casual way of speaking to her. Further made Esabella angry"What...are..you.. talking.. about?"
"You will find out next morning"and looked at Jai.
"Jai, do it"
Hearing that Jai smiled"I was waiting for you to say it"as he used the power of law and all the crimson flame and everything disappear as Esabella fall on the ground without knowing what happened to her, as she looked at the handsome young man who was sitting beside Kai all this time.
Her entire body was feeling hot as her blood boils and heart beats increase.
The same feeling she had during the time, she first looked at him but this time it was more intense.Her body temperature increases but she cannot do anything as her entire body felt heavy and her throat felt dry.
"Am I going to die without taking revenge for my lover death"
On the other hand, Kai was scanning her body with magic senses.
"good, good, her ancient dragon bloodline is awakening. Killing Duke Raleigh was really the right choice, hitting two targets with one stone.Getting rid of a lackey of Arbus and also using the intense anger of Duke Vorn to stimulate her bloodline. For some hours she will feel really weak but later her power will increase"
As he looked at the fragile condition of Esabella and called Jai.
Telling him to take her to her room and keep a watch on her condition and stop her from doing anything foolish after regaining her strength.
Jai nodded and picked her up in the princess carry position and carried him away leaving Kai and others alone in the room.
