1 Massacre

Year X768, Kingdom of Fiore

Kakuna Village, a respected town in the Kingdom of Fiore. The reason for that was because the Head of the Village was a respected member of the council. He was one of the people who actually did some work in the council rather than just sit back and watch the drama.

There was not a single one in the council who had a problem with him, his name was Hansuke Ozutsuki. Hansuke Ozutsuki was a man on his thirties, his build was rather average with little dark skin tone.

He had just returned back to the village from a Council Meeting, after coming back, he took a glass of water from his wife as he glanced at his young son. His son was two years old but the mysterious thing was that being around him got everyone relaxed.

It was like they were recharged of the energy they used. Hansuke Ozutsuki wasn't sure of the reason for it but he prayed that it wouldn't be anything bad for his son. He had heard of infants dying due to the excess magic energy, so he was quite worried about him.

It is because their bodies are not able to get used to the excess magic energy. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the glass dropping on the floor. He went to the kitchen and saw his wife, Rena Ozutsuki on her knees and picking up the glass on the floor.

He went towards her and helped her pick up the glass then suddenly a loud scream startled them both. It was because it wasn't their Son's scream, no, it was the scream of a grown-up man. He heard him shouting, "NOO!!! PLEASE NOO!!"

Suddenly everything turned silent for some moments before they heard a loud scream, "AHHHH.....WHY DID YOU KILL MY SON!!?? WHY!? I WILL KILL YOU!!" His scream woke up Shun Ozutsuki that was comfortably sleeping in the house.

He rubbed his eyes as he loudly asked for his request, "fwather, plwease stay silente, I am slewping…" He once again fell asleep before he woke up as he heard a loud shriek of a Women, it was so loud that even he knew that something bad was happening.

Hansuke Ozutsuki called out for his guards, "Guards!! Come Here!!" Two Grown Up men came in front of him and asked, "Lord, your orders!" Hansuke had a cold and calm expression on his face as he questioned them, "Just what is happening in this village?"

One of the guards spoke, "Lord, a cult for reviving Zeref has entered the Village, the other guards are intercepting the cult members and preventing them from killing the villagers." Hansuke Ozutsuki was surprised as he heard that, he couldn't understand why would the Zeref's cult enter this village.

Why would they start killing the villagers? Just what did they do? He had read a lot about the Black Wizard, some said that he was a monster who had made many demons so that he could rule the world.

Some said that he could kill people as easily as eating pie and no Wizard was his match but it was said to be 400 years ago. He didn't know how much of the rumors were true or lies but he did know that wherever Zeref's name was mentioned, it wasn't a piece of good news.

He stared at the guards and commanded them, "Alright then, you both stay here. I shall go and intercept the Cult members." What could the guards say other than nodding their heads? Hansuke looked towards Rena and had an apologetic expression, "Stay well dear."

Rena replied with some tears, "Same for you dear. Please be careful!" Hansuke gave her a bright grin as he stated, "You think I will die from these members. Don't forget that I am a Lightning Mage, I can always run away."

She nodded as she let him depart the house and picked up Shun Ozutsuki in her hands. Shun asked his mother in a curious tone, "Mother, why did father leave? Does he have some work to do?"

Rena suppressed her sadness as she replied to him, "Yes, he has to go to a friends house." Shun's expression remained curious as he asked his next question, "Then why are you crying mother!?"

Hansuke released yet another bolt of Lightning as he threw away another cult member. He was astonished that such a large group had come in their small village, hearing from the guards, he had thought that it was just a cult of 20-30 people but here he was watching atleast 200 people coming in the town and using their bizarre magic and killing the villagers.

Suddenly, he felt a threat and quickly jumped away from that position and a loud explosion occurred at that place. He saw a man grinning towards him. That man had a lean body with some good muscles…

Hansuke asked the man with a bit of a curious expression, "Why are you doing this?! Why are you causing a massacre in this village? Just what have we done to you?" The man had an evil smile on his face as he said, "You all are sacrifices. Necessary Sacrifices for the revival of Zeref-Sama."

Suddenly, he turned his finger upside down and an explosion occurred behind him destroying the whole house. Hansuke was angry, shocked and dumbfounded as he saw the whole house being destroyed by just a flip of his finger.

He made a Lightning Ball in his hand and threw it towards him but it suddenly exploded before reaching the man. The man started to crazily laugh as he said, "You are a failure as a Wizard."

Suddenly, two guards tried to shove their spears on that man's body but before they could get near him, he exploded their innards and their blood splashed all over the place. Hansuke was angered but he was also scared, scared for his family.

He knew that if he left this man as it is, he would destroy the whole village, along with his family. He let out a deep breath as he decided to kill this man right then and there, he knew that killing was banned in the Kingdom but there were limits to what he could take.

He would rather be a murderer than witnessing the death of his family. He suddenly disappeared from his position as he used the Lightning Magic in his feet. This was a magical technique. Using lightning under his feet, he could increase his speed by a few times.

He re-appeared just a meter away from the man and tried to electrocute the man while concentrating a huge amount of Lightning Magic in his hand. It was known as Lightning Strike...

His speed was so fast that the man wasn't able to follow him at all but still he jumped back so as to maintain some distance between them, otherwise, if he was near the place where the explosion was going to take place then he would also take some damage.

He snapped his finger as a loud explosion occurred at the place where Hansuke re-appeared, it was but it seemed as if Hansuke dodged that explosion by moving away at the last second. This time, he re-appeared right in front of the man and hit him with his Lightning Strike!

The man fell down while holding his stomach as he felt unbearable pain in his abdomen. This wasn't all that happened, the Lightning took effect and the man let out a loud scream, "AHH....." because of being electrocuted.

Suddenly, Hansuke felt something penetrating from his back. The sudden pain caused him to turn his face, he saw a man with a Fishing Rod and an Evil Smile on his face. The man spoke with a delightful expression, "Such a good man you are… I always wanted to kill this Explosive Idiot but couldn't because of our magics. Now, sleep!!"
